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?

im sry i really had no idea...
so would i able to install any custom rom without cwm recovery?
Well you normally need a custom recovery like CWM, TWRP or Philz touch recovery 6 to install a custom rom, yes.

I am bit confused yesterday when I installed the ClockWorkMod Recovery Touch by Koush, after installing it via the recovery, it was working well but then when I boot again to recovery mode, it returned to the CMW-Based Recovery.
I think the CMW-Based was installed during my first CF-Rooting.
So now, what is the difference between ChainFire's CWM-Based and Koush's CWM Recovery?
TIA
Recovery is linked to the kernel, any recovery you flash independently of a kernel will not persist after reboot.
Non-touch one is old recovery and touch one is new with "touch" as the only difference

I know that mate, but it works once during installation then after booting to recovery again, I am still geting the CWM-Based Recovery instead of CWM-Touch Recovery, make sense?
Also, Chainfire published the CWM-based while Koush's owns the CWM-Recovery.
Have you an app CWM that is touch recovery .
But a CWM and rooted kernel that is an older CWM recovery .
jje
Yes it is the older CWM, I want to replace it with the Touch version, but it will only work once. After installing and reboot again to recovery mode, I am still getting the old CWM.
Root + CWM .

need some help please. just did something pretty dumb in a moment of not thinking. i went into rom manager and flashed cwm recovery (I'm using Hairy Bean 1.51 with TWRP) over the damn TWRP recovery, then did a system backup through rom manager. now I can boot into the rom, but no chance of recovery (as i'm guessing there is a twrp/cwm and possibly jb/ics conflict - if the rom manager flashed ics cwm recovery)
how do I get back my twrp recovery?
NB. Rom manager shows both TWRP recovery as well as CWM flashed and I can choose which i want to use... but when I pick TWRP, I still cannot access recovery. Is there an ADB command I can use to remove CWM and then reinstall TWRP? (I already tried installing the TWRP over it hoping to overwrite, but both recoveries still exist)
FIXED, NM.

Forget about the recovery.img. I don't know why it is there. On the i9100(and i9100T), there is no seperate recovery partition. It is bundled with the kernel. So if you have a custom recovery that is capable of flashing a lollipop rom, just use that. Once you have flashed CM12.1, the CM recovery(kernel) will overwrite the recovery(kernel) you had anyway. Which is not a good thing(not that you have a choice). Currently the CM recovery is not very functional compared to CWM or TWRP

I'm assuming you have stock unrooted firmware? The easiest way is to install philz kernel from stock(3e) recovery, then reboot to recovery and flash a newer recovery that is capable of flashing the newer versions of android. If you just want to install CM12.1 straight away just back up your efs then:
1. Download the DVLSH kernel .zip from HERE
2. Download the philz 6.48.4 from HERE
3. Reboot into stock recovery, flash the DVLSH kernel(if your firmware build is DVL**, you could probably reboot into system no problem)
4. Reboot to recovery(not system), flash the philz 6.48.4
5. Reboot to recovery(not system), follow the steps for installing in the CM12.1 thread after backing up etc
Keep the DVLSH kernel. Once you install CM, you will have CM recovery, which only allows you to flash signed .zips(which this one is)
EDIT - The philz 6.48.4 is also signed and is probably the more useful one to keep, being compatible with the newer roms

Also how good or Bad is it to be used as a daily regular rom compared to the Samsung Stock rom for the SGS2 (GT-I9100)?

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.
