Well it depends in what rom you are going to flash some rom supports amonra and some cwm. Both are good.

Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
First thing u do is take a backup.
Than wipe all for first time flashing.
Wipe dalvic cache and wipe cached when u switch between same rom. (Like upgrade).

Thanks for that link. I was able to use it to easily switch between AmonRa and ClockworkMod. It didn't work going from AmonRa 2.2.1 -> ClockworkMod 3.1.0.0, but I was able to go to 3.0.2.4, and back and forth from there. It is a lot easier to try different recoveries this way!

For this you will have to switch to amonra again. And you can restore your back up.
Other way is to first switch to cwm on your desired rom. Then take a nandroid backup via cwm. Then for restoring you will not have to go to amonra.

Does anyone know what the difference between CWM 3.0.2.4 and 3.1.0.0 is? I made a bunch of backups on 3.1.0.0, but it is easier to switch between 3.0.2.4 and AmonRa then it is to do the same for 3.1.0.0, so I was thinking of using those 2 (when I need to use 1 vs the other), but I wanted to be sure my backup will still work with the older CWM

So you are saying,when we plan to switch frm amonra to cwn,first we have to flash cwm3.0.2.4 then flash cwm3.1.0.0 to work smoothly.

To be more specific, I'm saying that with the zips provided in the link, I got an error when trying to flash CWM 3.1.0.0 when running AmonRa 2.2.1. I was able to successfully reflash the 3.1.0.0 zip from a running CWM env, and was able to flash the 3.0.2.4 zip from AmonRa. So at least on my P509, I can't go directly from AmonRa->CWM 3.1.0.0 (vice versa works fine).
But yes, you can do:
AmonRa 2.2.1->CWM 3.0.2.4->CWM 3.1.0.0 using the zips provided
There is probably little reason for most to use both; play with them and choose one. For some of the stuff I'm working on, there are features of each I need though, so I've been going back and forth.
I flashed cwm 3.1 over amonra 2.2.1 without any problem.

You can make your backup and flash your backup using cw it really simple.the backups take up a ton of space so you might want a bigger SD card. I keep one backup on my phone and I move the rest to my computer

flashed cwm recovery through rom manager on LG L3..if i uninstall rom manager will it affect cwm recovery..means will it remove cwm recovery..????
No it wont delete cwm
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda app-developers app
It will not delete the recovery but then without Rom manager you have to do cwm manually
we should polite enough to press thanks for everyone helped uS..
you are dead when you stop learning new things..
It won't affect the recovery, as stated above. I only use Rom manager to flash the recovery for me, then I uninstall it and everything is manual from then on.
I don't trust it. My first experience with it was a bootloop and back when I was a noob, I got so freaked out. It's also better to get used to manual recovery work because if you can't boot into the system one day, then you gotta boot into recovery and fix it yourself

Im wondering do these programs work the same and by that I mean will devs have to make two seperate files for each recovery or will they both handle the same .zip files
same
I'll confirm that they both flash the same packages. Only reason to use one over the other really is personal preference.
problem twrp wont zip files getting error messages
I unlock my device on rev3 boot into twrp and try to flash the jelly bean rom and I keep getting error failed can not find md5 file
I prefer TWRP because it uses a touch interface.

Cwm has touch too. Anyone know if you can restore a cwm nandroid backup with twrp? And vice versa

No, backups from one don't work with the other.
Twrp because you can rename the backup file plus all touch screen

CWM
I always use clockwork mod because i found a few mods that cant be flashed with twrp.
Since I went to twrp on my HP Touchpad I really prefer it over cwm. I used cwm on all my droid devices..... But twrp is so user friendly. Just my two pennies.

So you have a backup prior to the booting error? Flash to stock ROM and restore your data

ALCATEL (and MTK Devices in general) usually have locked boot loaders making it impossible to enter fast boot or recovery without OS level access. Have fun with your new paperweight (jk)
