[Q] How to replace TWRP with Clockwork Recovery mod? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

I want to try and get the cyanogenmod 10.1 ROM on my phone, but I just tried it through TWRP and it didn't work (kept getting Service Wizard and Gapps not working in beginning). I looked through the forum right here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2121931
and post #5 said it can't be flashed through TWRP. So, now I want to get rid of TWRP and try to use clockwork recovery mod in order to install the ROM. How would I go on about deleting TWRP and installing clockwork recovery mod?

You can install ROM Manager and install Clockwork Mod through there, although I have flashed clockwork mod from TWRP and vice versa before.

I have no idea why but the cyanogemod won't install, and it keeps falling on clock work, I even tried the older versions from 4/20/13. Have no idea what to do now

I have a question.I tried to switch from clockwork recovery to TWRP on my HTC one and what i did was I just flashed the image of TWRP. Now when I go to recovery-all my files are missing in TWRP. does anyone know how to fix this or do I have to flash the ROM all over again. It even tells me I'm not rooted when I am .Thank you for your help.

This is the Verizon Note 2 sub-section. You might want to try in the HTC One, and get better/faster responses.

Did you root your phone?
Check to make sure your phone is rooted
Clockwork recovery mod is installed
Have latest version of super user app installed
Later version of Busy box installed.
Then try the clockwork recovery option. All these files are available for download in android market, except for the clockwork mod tool which can be downloaded from the development section bible thread.
I figured it uninstalled rom manager and deleted all clockwork mod files then re-installed rom manager and re flashed clockwork and now it works but thanks for the reply

how can you have that clockwork mod? you need to use the rom manager then flash the clockwork mod?
i had rom manager on my phone and flashed clockwork mod but for some reason it didnt install right so i had to delete everything then reinstall it again

it worked? how did you have the clockwork mod? through the rom manager?
A lot of times if people flash back to stock, they'll use the OCLF to get the file to root the phone which'll overwrite the clockwork update.zip
Or if the update.zip was deleted, corrupted, replaced, etc.
Since we're not actually replacing the recovery, we're a little more dependent on the file remaining on the SD card, which kind of sucks, but it does make it easier to get back to full stock if you need warranty work done.
^ exactly right. Best practice is to rename the update.zip first, then rename it back. I put these steps in the sticky just in case someone reads this with the same issue.

Is Clockwork Mod Safe

I've been using AmonRA recovery since I got the Optimus in December and I am comfortable with it. I've tried out Miks port of CM7 and while it's great, i sorely miss the battery performance I was getting on Froyo with Void and running 824mhz stable without any problems. That and bluetooth is sorely missed. I want to give OpenOptimus a shot, but I am extremely weary of trying to install Clockwork Mod again, because the one time I attempted it I ended up bricking my phone. Thankfully, the guy at the Tmo kiosk in the mall just gave me a new one no questions asked. I wouldn't be so hesitant to install CWM on my phone if I could install the img just like I did with AmonRA instead of trusting Rom manager to do it for me.
I don't suggest you to flash recovery via ROM manager. IMHO ClockworkMod is better,has much more options. If you'll flash the 3.1.0.0 version using my flashable zips you won't brick anything. And remember to give openOptimus a shot,you won't regret it

I'm not sure I understand correctly. I thought that clockworkmod was the recovery that is installed by Rom Manager. All of the instructions for installing CWM simply say to install Rom Manager. Ultimately, I do aim to install OpenOptimus but I need to switch from running AmonRA recovery to CWM recovery. And what exactly do you mean by flashable zip? I installed AmonRA using the ADB and an .img file. it there is a thread anywhere here that clearly details the process to install CWM recovery, please point me to it.

Sorry about that. I didn't realize that you could actually flash a recovery from within the recovery. I just switched to CWM and flashed OpenOptimus. Waiting for first boot as I'm typing this.

yes a stated above u can just enter into recovery and flash any recovery u want from the link pointed out above and its safe ,since u already have recovery installed u dont need to flash recovery via rom manager and just remember that any backup taken from any recovery would be restored using the same recovery. To clear all doubts the problem has been solved and installing recovery from rom manger works flawlessly now. Note:Its advisable to use rommanager for ppl not having recovery installed just download the latest rom mager and flash choosig ur phone type.
slightly off topic, but does anyone know where I can get the T-Mobile branded P509 kdz stock firmware just in case I end up needing to roll back to stock? I can't seem to find it anywhere, the_ERROR's thread on howto is closed and the links don't work anymore.

This does not work, or... ?

nope its not safe at all using rom manager ~
I flashed CWM and my friend died a few days later.
So no it's not safe.
For me there are no problems with clockworkmod and RomManager. Flashed cwm via RomManager and everything is fine here.

it not about using rom manger for flashing rom ,it just to get the cwm recovery and then going into recovery and using it from there.
Many had problems flashing rom from clockwork so that not advisable but installing cwm is fine 100% sure
M happy with CWM
Don't use tricks like ROM Manager... It's just matter of learning to use a recovery, not that difficult.. just IMHO
You just need to use ROM manager Once to get recovery. After that you can delete the program and enjoy the CWM recovery.
I have been there, I have done it, You do want it
CWM works beautifully without problems..
I use rom manager just to reboot to recovery, as i am too lazy to use the 3 button combo to goto recovery.
Flashed ROMs and zips with CWM. 100 % safe untill now..
The new updared Rom Manager has solved that issue.

How much I've learned in just a month!
I can't believe I had to ask that question. I know now that there are numerous ways to flash recoveries. My personal preference is to do it manually using the adb.

See this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15186637&postcount=337
No, it is not 100% fine, in fact it lacks any sanity checks whatsoever.
Just flash CWM through your current recovery and you'll be fine. It's by far the safest method. If you flash through ROM Manager and after reboot you get stuck in fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015332 ... happened to me, unbricked it with some slight changes to the tutorial. Nothing important.
PS: If you don't use Rom Manager you can always do a $su then #reboot recovery in a terminal (Downloadable from market) to reboot directly to recovery.

[Q] Custom Recovery installation

I`m on ICS gsm razr with TWRP installed, but I'd like to install CWM to restore a stock backup made last year with it, because I think I somehow bricked my stock slot rom......
No success trying to install CWM with Rom Manager, so I'd like to know if there's any way to install a CWM zip via stock recovery...
If yes, will I lose TWRP? And is there a stock recovery flashable TWRP zip so I can go back eventually?
My usb connection isn't working, so I can't flash stock via RSD.
I'm guessing that my usb problem is related to my stock slot rom issue, because even when charging it acts weird, not even charging sometimes...
Woul be thankful for any help!

Dont try to install CWM recovery using Rom Manager! Use eitheir Safetrap by Hashcode (based on TWRP) or Boot Menu Manager by whirleyes (based on TWRP). If you have usb problem, so nothing you can do. I suggest you to buy a usb cable. So you can flash the Stock rom.

I know there's a way to install custom recovery from stock recovery, but I'm not sure which CWM zip file I need to use...
And I've already tried a usb cable my friend, my issue is exacty that my phone doesn't get recovgnized by my computer...
So, can someone point me a zip CWM/TWRP file that can be used to install custom reco very via stock recovery?
That's all I ask and I''l be very thankful!

No, you cant install a zip file from stock recovery unless it was signed from Motorola. This phone are different with other phones. What do you mean by TWRP recovery? Is it Safestrap or what?

Safetrap will install Team Win Project Recovery (TWRP), while Bootmenu and Rom Manager install ClockWork Mod Recovery (CWM), right?
I need to boot into CWM Recovery, caus I have a backup I made there that could fix my usb issue and allow me to go back to stock... But the issue is that I've got safestrap (TWRP) installed, and i can only boot into safestrap. Tried to install BootMenu and even Rom Manager, but haven't managed to boot into CWM...
I think i have CWM installed, but I junt cant boot into it... Any ideas?
Can I install CWM via safestrap? Will it overwrite it?

Ps i have installed titanium backup pro and and superuser and have even frozen some of the bloatware from tmo so im guessing i am rooted. Please help as the tmo threads are dead and no help from no one!! Thanks a bunch guys
Just update your recovery dude.
Twrp is superior to cwm imo anyway.
This has been discussed many times. Since you are coming from T-Mobile forum here is a link which was recently discussed. Staus 7 means you need to upgrade your recovery.

so i download the twrp file and flash through odin? the problem is my phone doesnt stay on. it just boot loops to the samsung logo. sorry for misunderstanding not to go through rom manager. thanks so much osterizerblender for helping me with links just need to know how to do this procedure.
Your phone will stay in download mode to flash a recovery.
Once flashed boot into that every and flash a Rom within.
Put your phone to download mode. Make sure you have drivers installed. Open odin(i used v1.85). Put the twrp recovery tar file in to pda slot. Conect your phone to your computer in download mode. Once odin finds your device then press start.

Recovery Wierdness - Can anyone offer ideas?

I'm running CM 11 nightlies, usually the latest.. I've been running CWM 6.0.4.4 for as long as I can remember after initially rooting/loki patching my phone.
Last week, Rom manager notified me that there was an update to CWM, 6.0.4.7. I thought "cool" - and I flashed it via Rom manager, which reported this was a success.
However, whenever I rebooted into recovery, I still had CWM 6.0.4.4. I tried again, fail. Decided to clean flash my next nightly and try again. Same thing. Could not get Rom manager to update.
I flashed over to Twrp using goo manager which worked fine. I used Twrp to flash over to Philz touch which worked fine.. anytime I use Rom manager now though, it seemingly does nothing even though it reports a success. For example, if I am on TWRP and use rom manager to flash the latest CWM, I'll be met with a success but a reboot into recovery leaves me still with TWRP and no CWM.
I guess I'm just wondering if anyone can help me figure out what's going on -- I know I've seen others at least in the CM forum post about Rom manager acting similarly, but I also hear reports that it works fine for others. Ultimately I just ended up making a 6.0.4.7 flashable zip of my own to upgrade but I'd rather get things figured out vs make a new flashable zip anytime an updated version of CWM comes out.

get the latest cwm 6.4.7 zip and flash through philz recovery make sure to apply auto loki patching (i think thats already checked never hurts to make sure though) hit power options and reboot recovery. thats my thought and u should have on screen cwm 6.4.7

Where do you get the 6.0.4.7 zip? I've only been able to find the .img file on the rom manager/cwm website...
Going back to my htc days n adb using it was fastboot flash flash {recovery name}.img. maybe using something like flashimgui or flashify.. just thoughts of course other than that u would need to convert to a zip file
