Hi.
I'm looking for confirmation.
I downloaded the latest cwm touch recovery from their site. It's a img file.
I'd like to flash it from recovery. Is it safe to replace the img from the zip file from another recovery with the cwm one?
It should work, but is there anything I need to pay attention to?
Thanks!

Just flash with mobile Odin
safer to download a flashable zip version of the recovery
True, but I didn't manage to find yet.

You do know their official app 'rom manager' supports clockworkmod installing AND updating and when u start it it shows you if you have the latest recovery mod installed?:banghead:

Yes I am aware of that. Too bad I am to cheap to pay for the premium version which allows the automated flashing of the touch version.

Touch version, in my opionion, is worse than non touch. Roms are for theming and fun, launchers as well.
Clockworkmod and RECOVERY states are for serious stuff, a wrong touch and u can damage your phone. Much better to have to press the buttons...

But yeah try to flash. The worst is you wont be able to flash it or ur clockworkmod will stop working. In that case get to pc and reflash older clockwork mod by following a safe guide....

Used TWRP or CWM Touch on thousands of flashed never a problem.
Any miss hit is not going to damage your phone and i find with TRWP you are less likely to miss the correct sequence as you always hit the right buttons .

Just to answer to the original question, yes it should be safe. I have done so many times with twrp and it has always worked.

Try Rom Manager from Play Store.
You can boot in touch recovery by turning off your phone, then press and hold power button + home button + volume up
Wait until the recovery shows up and release your fingers.
Edit: Or just reflash cwm recovery using cwm apps if you want to use cwm apps for backup/restore

As I suggested earlier, use ROM Manager.
ROM manager is not the way I would suggest as it doesn't support many phones and is known to have caused a few bricks! Best bet Google! Find your recovery flash it thru the one u have if possible, or do it thru bootload USB

There's a chance of it going wrong and bricking your phone, a lot of people will tell you not to use ROM manager to flash anything, downloading stuff with it is fine, but flash through cwm.
Better to be safe than sorry.

Same issue here, it installs but can't use full app lime backup etc..
I'm now using clockwork recovery touch 6. Something.
Get the .tar flash it with Odin or mobile Odin, it's pretty much the same
Just enter recovery by power home and volume up when device is off
I got it from your drop, it installed but get the same error that I get from the cf root 6.4 package .

It won't be fully compatible until Chainfire updates it for JB.
Yeah thought as much, I prefer CWM in os, also I hear it's not compatible with clockwork recovery touch too

I wanted to flash CWM manualy, so I downloaded it from the CWM website and the file is in .img not .zip, so how do I flash this.
Nevermind I found CWM Touch in another thread and its a .zip. Not sure why its not a zip from the CWM website though

.img files will install via adb.

Oh, sorry bro, you wanted to do this manually. I've been doing this manually since the g1 but now that it is this easy with Rom Manager and Goo Manager, I just do them the easy way. I'm too old to do it the manual way now.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
your best bet is to reflash the rom. It should boot as per normal with all the mods removed. You can flash your custom kernel if you have one after the first boot. Its best to make a backup before making any modifications.
If I use odion will it delete my external sd

Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
If you are not sure, simply take your sd out before flashing :good:
Besides, what files does the mod affect?

Flash with mobile odin and don't tick ever root and you'll be ok. Get stock rom from sammobile stick it on int sd and flash away.

You cannot un install it just like that because this mod is made by modifying SystemUi.apk and possibly a couple of other's, removing it actually is a simple procedure of replacing the files in the multi window flash package with your default stock one's and flash via cwm but I doubt you could do that, your best bet is a re flash via Odin like the others said.

Before unlocking while i was rooted i made a back up of the stock 10b it came with. Now my question is will i loose unlock if i try to restore 10b? Im new to this phone and still learning its way's. Also will the LG logo always be backwards at boot while unlocked?
I uploaded several files on the unlock thread with everything you need to fix the inverted LG logo. You won't lose anything if you restore your cwm backup
