As far as I know. Samsung kernels include recovery. Because of that the only way to change recovery is to change kernel. I guess that cwm manager failed but somehow it changed the version number. Once again, I'm not sure as all.

Your CM9 kernel already came with latest version of CWM recovery, what else do you want.
ROM manager is not fully compatible and has caused many people, many problems already.

Two different recovery after cyanogen

Hi all,
I have rooted my s2 with cf-root, tried many roms, then arrived on cm7.1.
Obviously I installed Cwm and its recovery, 4.0.1.5.
If I reboot in recovery mode from Cwm manager, s2 enter in 4.0.1.5 version; if I reboot using the power button, the phone enter in 5.0.2.6 (I suppose the recovery used by the cf-kernel).
I would delete v5 and keep the original Cwm, but I can't. I tried from Cwm manager and from recovery installing a zip file: both failed.
Someone can help me?
Thanks a lot.

Not DEVELOPMENT!!!
Move to Q&A please mods!
As for your question, you only have 1 version of CWM recovery, the 4.0.1.5 is the CMW Manager version not recovery.
You're right, I wronged session. I thought to be in the right one, but I was in development. Sorry for that.
But I can't understand your answer: I really have two version of recovery: if I reboot the phone from Cwm manager in recovery mode, I'll have the 4.0.1.5; if I reboot the phone in recovery mode from the power button, I'll have the 5.x.
How can I have only one recovery?

I have exactly the same issue, two diff recoveries depending how I boot into recovery. Both allow me to backup/ restore, install zips etc, although the new CWM 5.x seems to us a different backup format that is not backwards compatible with 4.x
Would be interested to understand what is going on here, thanks
Nobody has a solution or suggestions?

Why didn't you root using CF-Root or Siyah or SpeedMod, or any other custom Kernel that just comes with CWM recovery?
Don't use Rom Manager & CW Recovery together. Rom Manager tends to break CW Recovery/cause bootloops if you have both installed so use one or t'other.

I can't seem to get Clockwork installed why I used Rom Manager in the first place, Never had an issue with it on any other device.
Just seemed easier to use it to flash recovery and then flash whatever rom I damn well pleased.

Your choice f around with an app that is known to have SGS2 problems or flash a rooted CWM kernel that works .
jje
Siyah is good if you use gingerbread, great battery life, lots of kernel modules integrated (cifs, tun, etc.) DO NOT use Siyah with ICS based roms.
Yet another useless thread on a subject that has been discussed more times than anybody cares to remember. A quick and simple search would have given you the answer to your question.

Cant boot CWM Recovery, Stock reboot instead.

Hi just a quick question.I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 on Sasktel Carrier (Canadian), model mumber: SGH-I747M and i cannot boot CWM Recovery. I have deleted the two /system/ files that some advised to do and i know i am rooted because i have SuperRoot but I still cannot boot it. So im wondering how i could boot CWM Recovery (Keep in mind im a pretty new to this stuff). Is it possible to root my phone more than once without bricking my phone?
i followed this video to root my phone and i was wondering if i could go through the steps again and try to reach the CWM recovery mode that way or would that brick my phone?

Any help is appreciated, thank you!
You have to flash the recovery to boot into it

If I were to follow the instructions from your link could it brick my phone? I've already rooted my phone. Or is this just putting the recovery into my phone? Thanks for the help!

If you follow the procedure in the guide there is minimal risk of bricking your phone, and fortunately in the unlikely event something does go wrong most of the time you can use Odin to fix any mistakes. This procedure will just flash Clockworkmod Recovery and will not effect root access on your phone.

or just download Rom Manager from the play store and flash recovery that way.
1. Open Rom Manager and tap on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery option in the app.
2. You’ll be asked to select your device, select your device name.
3. As soon as you select the model, it should begin installing the recovery.
4. When it has done installing the recovery, you will get a message for the same on your screen.
*NOTE: I do not recommend Rom Manager as a tool to do anything but just install and update ClockworkMod Recovery. Do not flash ROMs from Rom Manager.
I've heard rom manager is a great way to install custom roms. How would you recommend to install custom roms? Through cwm recovery? I cannot install it through rom manager because it says recovery setup instead of flash and when I do try it says i747m isn't supported

The problem with ROM Manger is that on newer devices it can brick your device if you use it to install custom ROMs or try to use it to flash a recovery image even if it is a device that has official Clockworkmod Recovery support. I would recommend either using Clockworkmod Recovery or Team Win Recovery Project to install custom ROMs.

[Q] A Quick CWM Question Please Help

Just rooted the s3 now trying to install cwm with rom manager. it installs but when i reboot the phone the android 3e recovery comes back i gather that the stock rom is just re flashing 3e recovery on boot so if i use rom manager to flash cwm then reboot to recovery and use the cwm recovery to flash a custom rom ie cyanogenmod will that stop the stock recovery from being flashed?
Use philz touch recovery mate loads better... and it will give you the option to stop stock recovery re-flashing
