Hello,
I tried to install a custom ROM and in that I saw that, I need to have TWRP and CWM recovery. What are those, how to install them and how to use them?
What is custom recovery? - Read This
And you can find them in Development Section.
TWRP
its easier with twrp..

tried Rom Manager but could not get it to work
went to clockworkmod homepage
and my tablet am not in the list
does it mean its not supported?
is there any other way to install cwm recovery other than rom manager?
or install custom rom without cwm recovery?
If it's not listed on the homepage then no image file will have being created for you to flash.
Some of the developers know how to edit the Philz touch recovery 6 for the newer kernels.
Would that recovery work for you?

Well you normally need a custom recovery like CWM, TWRP or Philz touch recovery 6 to install a custom rom, yes.
Is it ok to flash twrp over cwm or do i need to remove cwm first. Hi i have been searching for this particular topic and found no definite answer. I am currently trying to flash blisspop rom on my phone and it says to use the latest twrp recovery. The problem is I have cwm installed on my phone. So my question is ok to flash twrp over cwm or set my default recovery to twrp
@onedaynerd: simply replace CWM with TWRP 2.8.6.1 by Odin. Ashame TWRP can't read/restore CWM-backups.

As far as I know, there will/can be only one recovery. Any recovery can be overwritten by the other. Just flash the new recovery and it automatically replaces the old one.
Example, If you are currently having CWM then boot into CWM recovery and flash the TWRP recovery zip file and reboot the device. Check the recovery by booting into recovery again. Now you will find TWRP as your recovery. CWM will be gone.
Could someone provide me with an easy guide to rooting, installing recovery and installing a custom rom on my S2? I1900 version.
I'm wanting to put a KK rom on it but I'm confused about which recovery to use and the best method for rooting.

I read your post on another thread you said you have flashed siyah kernel, so you are already rooted. You just need to use a "kitkat compatible" recovery such as CWM 6.0.4.5+ or TWRP 2.7+ to flash kitkat roms
Just a quick google search for "kitkat compatible recovery" gave me this one. Just download the CWM .zip, flash it from siyah recovery, then reboot to recovery(not system), then do your wipes/backups and flash the rom and gapps you want and reboot to system. Done
will give this a go!
Hi i want just install cwm on my s3, and be with stock firmware , i dont wanna install Custom Roms or same like that, just be with CWM and stock rom. so still root required when CWM INSTALLED FROM ODIN? SORRY FOR DUMP QUESTION
No need to root before installing a custom recovery with Odin.
I recommend TWRP over CWM as CWM has not been updated for a very long time.

Neither has the s3 and twrp is known for borking your nand, so much so that they have a section on it on twrp website.
My opinion, use the last official cwmr for your device.
@shivadow, I didn't know that twrp affected the s3. The last version I recall using on the last few sgh-i747m phones I had was 2.87.
Do you have a link to the twrp section regarding this issue? Might be good to have it stickied?
Thank you.
Twrp buggers all devices in the end, not just the s3. It's like there's a bug that can't be solved.
Quick Google found this https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/issues/773
I have been trying to install a custom recovery on this phone for a while now. I have had no luck. There have been a couple of forum threads about rooting it but they don't help. When I flash TWRP recovery on to it it just boots into download mode. I don't know why it won't boot into custom recovery. Can anyone help me with this?
I uploaded all the files I have for it already. I got the stock recovery from a stock ROM.
