[Q] Switching Recoveries. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

I have a noob question. I unlocked/rooted my phone using the CASUAL method and it put twrp recovery on there. Is it possible to switch that to clockwork mod that I am more familiar with and if so, how do I do it?
Thanks in advance.

What I've been reading on here twrp works best...

Ah ok. From the 1-2 times I have used it it seemed fairly straight forward. I just know for things like CM10 rom it says install cwmod first then flash the rom. Is it possible to flash cm10 from twrp?

Yes it is. Just use goomanager to update it TWRP to the latest. Also I guess you could just use ROM manager to install CWM, but as stated TWRP seems to be the best for the note

Yep, you can flash it with TWRP, just make sure you are running the latest version.

Flashing through CWM help!! (solved)

Hi there, I just started flashing a couple months ago and all is great. When I first started flashing I used cwm to flash a ROM. I would clear data then clear cache then afterwards flash the ROM and would work flawlessly.
Now as I try to do that (trying to flash a brand new ROM), Everytime I try to cleardata or cache on cwm my phone would freeze there, therefore I couldn't properly set up my phone for a new ROM.
Any ideas or solution I can do to fix this? Greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Would I lose my ROM backups if I redo my cwm?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
You will not lose anything. Unless you fubar the phone some how.
Yea I had the same issue about a month ago. The only thing that worked for me was using Odin to put me back to stock gingerbread, re flash cwm and root. Since then I've been able to flash and it fixed the cache hang up in cwm.

Yeah as long as its a zip file. Tar will be flashed through Odin. Img through adb. Backups don't translate well between some recoveries though, just a heads up.

[Q] Questions about recovery

1. I was in rom manager earlier and noticed it says I have both CWM and TWRP installed. I remember installing project freegee w/CWM but not TWRP. Is this an error? If so, is it an issue?
2. I'm seeing something about CWMtouch or whatever. I just installed what came with freegee. I'm not quite sure how to use adb for the updater script. Is it necessary that I install this? Is freegee using a way outdated version?
Thanks in advance.

You need to upgrade to a new recovery. The one that came with free gee is broken, so any backups you made with it are no good. I personally use sk8's recoveries, but TWRP is good to go too.

I don't use rom manager, but I'm pretty certain you can only have one recovery. Also, the updater script isn't needed either.
Someone will jump in here with more info.

Just like stated. You have an older version cwm installed and you need to update to the newest one. I had the same problem. I solved it by putting the newest cwm zip file on my external SD. The booting into can and installing the new cwm from external SD.

If you look above your previous post ... Halo 13 ghost tells you. But to save you time. Download the newest cwm zip file. Bout into recovery and flash it. You could also install TWRP instead. My personal choice of recoveries. If you go with TWRP use 2.3.3 version due to issues with the latest.
You can use Odin if you get the tar file or your existing recovery for the zip.

Are you certain that you have the latest ClockworkMod Installed? You must flash it through the recovery. If so and CM10.1 still doesn't flash redownload it and try again. Also make sure that you are following all of the steps correctly.

[Q] quick question about flashing kernels

OK so I have a quick question about flashing kernels. I want to flash a new kernel for better battery life I know I do that in my recovery like a ROM. But what does it mean to fix permissions and where do I fix them at and how do I fix them?

The instructions should tell you where and what to change. Then use Root Explorer to browse to the file or directory and change it. Although most kernels are flashed via Odin as far as I know and am used too.

What kernels have you been flashing through Odin??? Only one I can think of is the pre-release one for 2 mins while you unlock the phone.
I've been doing all mine through TWRP. So far used faux's and KToonez's kernels

I haven't flashed any yet. The most I ever did was on my S3 trying a few roms with nandroid backups.
