when i install CWM in whichever color i like, the install is successful. when i boot into recovery for the first time, yes, the cwm recovery comes up. howver, any time after that when i boot into recovery i get the stock android recovery? Why? it is worthy to note that i am not rooted and im running 2.3.6 bell UNLOCKED bootloader.
Are you trying to use romracer's recovery? Or are you just installing CWM from the market? You might try flashing update.zip from stock recovery.
it happened to me when i tried flashing cwm for the first time !!
Then i tried flashing it with fastboot and it worked !!
try using fastboot commands with the recovery.img !!
rom racer's recovery is good but i myself use touch recovery !!

Hey guys. Twice now (last night and just now) iv'e tried booting into recovery (CWM 5.0.2.3) and it boots to the stock android recovery.
Bootloader is unlocked and i haven't tried flashing any SBF or any sort of .zip files, and i haven't installed any OTA's.
Booting to fastboot, flashing CWM and rebooting into recovery seems to solve it.
My question is why is it reverting to the stock recovery without any input by me?

Unlocked and Rooted. Having issues getting CWM to stick.
Thought it was odd done this a couple of times. First time I resoted stock recovery and it reverted. Well ok reflash with fastboot because it restored the recovery partition.
Was going to modify the framework.apk and went to
Flashed recovery by:
moto-fastboot erase recovery
moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-blue-photon1.3.img
moto-fastboot reboot.
Upon reboot accessed CWM recovery and did a backup.
Tried to push framework.apk and screwed it up somewhere so it bootlooped.
Battery pull select android recovery.... and back to stock recovery.
Had to reflash with fastboot and restore backup.
Any ideas why the recovery partition is reverting back to stock??
EDIT:
Thanks to mrinehart93 for pointing this out.
The system runs /system/etc/install-recovery.sh on boot with the stock rom. On boot it checks the recovery partition for some update and with CWM installed decides to reflash the stock recovery over it. Rename or delete the file and the CWM should stick.

I take no credit for this. Was posted in another thread. I moved file to external sd. Now my cwm stays after doing thia.

I've been trying to find an answer on this forum and on google but I cannot find anyone with a problem similar to mine.
All of a sudden after trying to update CWM, (failed), I cannot go into recovery anymore.
I know the button combinations and have previously done it before but now it just vibrates and displays the Samsung logo.
If I try and use an app to boot into recovery mode it soft bricks the phone I believe (does not boot and I have to get it into download mode to
flash the system.img).
Does this mean that I have no recovery?
Yes. It means you have no recovery. I would suggest flashing TWRP with Odin.

I tried to flash TWRP using Odin but after the Check status, Odin is crashing and force closes. I tried installing CWM but the progress bar seems like it is stuck on 0%.
I'm not quite sure how to fix this. I am trying to install CM10 but this is the first android I have had.
It's rooted but everything is stock. I am not sure if I need a custom kernel also.
Is your phone a Canadian version? There's an extra step needed when you flash a custom recovery.
It's just an American version
try this and flash cwm-touch-i717-120414.tar.md5 with odin if twrp does not work, then download the updated zip from twrp and flash that via recovery. unless u just want to keep cwm touch.
ODIN + CWM Touch or TWRP
Hello guys. First, I have to say that I'm not experienced with android phone modifications. I am trying to get NeatROM into my phone, but I can't set up custom recovery mod. I tried both CWM and TWRP.
This is my third time I am re-installing the ROM, first I have done it with ODIN second time with CWM recovery, but now I can only enter "Android system recovery <3e>" where there isn't an option "Install Rom SD card".
I don't know how CWM recovery got replaced with stock recovery mod,but I am suspicions that it happened during latest Samsung "Software update" via Kies.
I tried to flash CWM and TWRP recoveries via their apps, but when the phone booted, there was always stock recovery mod. I also tried to flash recovery mod via Android SDK, following manual on phonearena.com, but got stucked on 3rd step- when I typed in "adb reboot bootloader" my phone only restarted and it did not enter bootloader.
Please, can you help to flash the stock recovery mod, so I can install new ROM, or is there other way to get it into my phone and then flash the recovery mod?
Never mind, I was able to flash CWM recovery with Odin, following the steps on androidlegend[dot]com. Then it let me to install NeatROM.
Is it ok to flash twrp over cwm or do i need to remove cwm first. Hi i have been searching for this particular topic and found no definite answer. I am currently trying to flash blisspop rom on my phone and it says to use the latest twrp recovery. The problem is I have cwm installed on my phone. So my question is ok to flash twrp over cwm or set my default recovery to twrp
@onedaynerd: simply replace CWM with TWRP 2.8.6.1 by Odin. Ashame TWRP can't read/restore CWM-backups.

As far as I know, there will/can be only one recovery. Any recovery can be overwritten by the other. Just flash the new recovery and it automatically replaces the old one.
Example, If you are currently having CWM then boot into CWM recovery and flash the TWRP recovery zip file and reboot the device. Check the recovery by booting into recovery again. Now you will find TWRP as your recovery. CWM will be gone.
