So I am currently running a stock ROM rooted nexus 5 with xposed framework with gravity box. I wanted to create a backup as I Dont currently have one which I know I should have done. Now when I went into twrp from my phone being on and selected backup along with what to backup my phone restarted to the android with a red triangle. How can I create a backup?

I would recommend booting back into recovery and trying again with the backup option. If that still doesn't work I would recommend flashing the latest version of Clockworkmod Recovery for the Nexus 5, and using that to perform a backup of your device. Let me know if you still have any questions.
Can I just download cwm recovery straight from the play store?

I assume you are talking about download GooManager from Play Store and then using that to install TWRP? If so, yes that's one way. Another way is to download the TWRP recovery image and use Flashify app to flash the recovery image. My personal favorite just because it's the way I always do it is to download the recovery image to my computer then boot into the device's bootloader and use fastboot to flash it to my device.
Got it thank you sir!

Just to clarify I got this right I disabled all the xposed modules and uninstalled xposed framework then rebooted and used root toolkit or something along those lines I forget now to flash twrp so now when I go into fastboot then recover I can access twrp. I made a backup of just the stock rooted ROM. Now I'm safe if I soft brick correct? I had serious trouble a year ago figuring this all out with my s3 and soft bricked multiple tines with no recovery but I Dont want to be back in that boat but want to try out some custom roms

Now that you have TWRP installed and have a backup of your stock ROM, you can restore your backup should you soft brick your phone. Your all set to try some custom ROMs if you want.

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.

If you have CWM installed from Rom Manager, can you still boot into Download Mode as you di before CWM?? Thanks for reply.
Yes, that should be possible. Download mode is different from recovery mode.

Read article above. So after I install I will have to root phone Again? It is rooted now. The reason I want CWM is so I can back up OS on phone unless you have a better way.
CWM or any custom recovery like TWRP (whatever is available for your device) is the best way to backup. If you're already rooted, you won't need to again unless you restore to stock. Flashing a custom recovery doesn't affect the ROM in any way.
As an alternative method of backup, you can use 'adb backup' (read about it) but it's more complicated. Custom recovery is the best.

Phone is Stock Galaxy S3 4.1.1 at least for Now. Downloaded Rom Manager so can I use it to install CWM or do I need to do it thru Odin as your link showed? Thanks for helping me!!!!
I'm not sure about that. Try ROM Manager first.

No Rom Manager says Galaxy S3 not worked with it yet when you click to flash CWM.
Then look in the Galaxy S3 forum specific to your model (unlocked/carrier variant). There are usually guides and toolkits for everything from rooting to flashing ROMs to restoring to stock, made specifically for new and inexperience users. You'll easily find a way to flash recovery there.
Ok, just had a look, recoveries are indeed directly flashable to your phone. You don't *need* Odin, although it can be flashed that way too. In any case, if ROM Manager isn't working for you for whatever reason, flash TWRP recovery. TWRP = TeamWin Recovery Project. It's a much better and more useful recovery than CWM. Follow the link below to find TWRP recovery along with installation instructions for international Galaxy S3 (unlocked version) -

If you have a carrier variant, choose your device correctly from the list in the TWRP website - http://teamw.in/twrp_view_all_devices

Install Clockworkmod Recovery from play store. It has an option to install recovery from app. From there you can install other custom recovery zips.

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)
Everytime i install a custom rom in my phone it boots up normally and then it just frezzes and restarts, i thought it was something with the rom, so i downloaded another one and it did the same thing, i have tried 4 roms already, i don't know whats happening

Have you looked at all at the "faq's" at the top of the forum pages, maybe the "please read", or the "important threads?"
Perhaps do a little searching using the "Search" button?

You have to open the ROM zip and pull the boot.img out and flash it using fast boot cimands or if you can get into your android system using your original backup....then you can install 4ext recovery which will flash the boot img for you with smart flash...sound like you have a kernel problem
