I decided to try TWRP so I can see if I prefer that or CWM. I have now tried flashing a new rom and it won't let me. I don't need help flashing it, I just need to know how to get rid of TWRP and go back to CWM. I just wanna try a new ROM
Thanks!

I have never had any problems until now. When I download a rom or anything I can't find it where it should be on my SD card

That's the internal storage
Then find the folder where the from is

I'm curious if anyone else is or has experienced issues with ClockworkMod Recovery 5.8.1.8?
When I boot to recovery I see, CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4
I've flashed CWM 5.8.1.8 and then I see the version change but, if I reboot the phone or reboot recovery it reverts back to v5.5.0.4....
Any tips, tricks, or ideas?

Let me guess, you are using rom manager

hhmm..., Actually as I stated I'm using CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4...
While it's an assumption, CWM stands for ClockWorkMod?

Yes but you're using rom manager to flash it correct?

Here's a screenshot of what my recovery looks like.

I don't believe this is Rom Manager.

READ WHAT I'M WRITING. Are you using rom manager to flash cwm? Jeez...
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
No. Short answer, No.
Long answer, No, I just posted a picture of what i'm using. (did you see it?)
I'm rebooting into ClockworkMod recovery.
I then select install zip from sdcard
I then select choose zip from internal sdcard
and select the appropriate .zip file.
then recovery reboots into v5.8.1.8.
I'm not trying to use any app within the running OS to flash the newer version.
Is that clearer?

Okay that helps me out now that you finally answered my question, so you're trying to flash a newer version of cwm from the older version of it? Or are you flashing a rom too, I never worry about flashing cwm as all roms/kernels have a ones packaged in I feel it's unnecessary

yep, that's all I'm trying to do.
I've done the same thing to upgrade CWM on my old Atrix. So I'm not sure why it isn't working this time... Can't imagine the process would have changed.
I moved the .zip file to the external sd card and flashed it but that still didnt work. it didn't work when i tried to flash it with odin either.

Personally I would just leave it it isn't a huge deal, or flash a kernel that has a newer version

This isn't an Atrix and recovery on the GS2 is not like any other phone. You can flash that zip all day long its not going to do a thing.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my understanding that cwm is baked into the kernel. Without changing to a kernel with the new CWM, it will always come back to whatever the kernel you are running has baked into it.

Absolutely correct. Its not as simple as a good old recovery.img anymore.

Use the Siyah kernel and it has the touch clockworkmod recovery baked in. The others above are correct, it is something that has to be changed in the kernel. When the first touch recovery came out I too tried it the way you did by flashing it in regular cwm. Then you will see and can use it. BUT it does not stick because it has to he added into tue kernel.

Basically all the kernels have some version of cwm touch built in

I know. I just mentioned that since I "think" he is trying to load up the cwm touch version.

Is the touch version really all that?? I've been wanting to try it but have been too lazy about asking AJ to build a new kernel with it (I'm on his version of ATTs rom)..

It can he used the same way basically with using the buttons for volume +/- and power to select. Or clicking on whatever option, or sliding your finger up or down to the selections and double tapping to select. It is kind of a cool featute bit not that big of a deal. I am using my own personal made version that is basically the same as hos rom and you can use the siyah kernel that came/comes with it and it has the touch version of cwm so you can try it out. I dont usually spend much time while in cwm except to flash things. So it is not a huge deal or deal breaker either way.

Now I'm running a custom ROM with custom recovery. If I ever want to have back the stock/original recovery, what is the possible way? Or should I just flash stock ROM?
You won't be able to replace the stock recovery by flashing over it or anything. That's something in the kernel. Flashing a stock ROM will give you back the recovery though.

So i have been thinking about to flash a new rom on my s2. Currently i am running stock jb (xwlsd). And i have philz kernel and the philz stock recovery! So the question is that what roms am i able to flash in philz recovery. It seems that aosp roms arent possible so could someone give me a good rom to test out?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

Pick a custom ROM and learn how to flash it...c'mon now.

You need to change kernel. Flash Siyah kernel via ODIN (PDA section) then you will have new recovery that will flash rom you want.
I flashed Rootbox asop based from philz recovery just do a full wipe
Then flash .

Just flash the kernel in your current TWRP recovery. No wiping is necessary and you won't lose any rom data.
