For what is used this recovery image that Cyanogen released with last two S3 roms? Is this recovery flashable via Odin?
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=i9300
@Spacepl: install TWRP fromhere and deactivate any (automatic) install of recovery by/within CM: high chance of bricking.

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.

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.
Hello,
I want to switch from CWM to TWRP.
The problem is, that when I flashed CWM, my android was 4.1.2 version, and so was the recovery.
I've already flashed newer rom than 4.1.2, and now I want to switch to TWRP.
My concern is: Now that I downloaded the latest TWRP and I use Nandroid, it prompts me that the TWRP .img file is built for 4.1.2 android, so can I still flash the TWRP although I have higher version than 4.1.2?
*Also, is Nandroid a working way to switch between recoveries? I've never done that before, and I just came across a thread that suggests using Nandroid to flash new reocvery over the existing one.
Thanks!
TWRP or CWM Recoveries will work in all android versions. Just download twrp-2.8.6.1-i9300.tar flash it via odin. Here is the link - https://dl.twrp.me/i9300/
So i wanted to install custom rom(cyanogenmod 14.1) on my S3 device I realized that my device has already CWM (v5.5.0.4 :: CF -v1.5 ). I can flash cyanogenmod 14.1 with no issues but I can't flash gapps. After installing gapps, I get a lot of errors when I boot(Setup wizard has stopped). I tried 2 different versions of gapps(aroma,nano) both of them didn't work. I started to think that my CWM version is the issue. I want to flash another Custom Recovery like newer version of CWM of TWRP but as I said my charging port is broken. I just want my device to have android nougat with google apps. I hope I can find a solution
Download the TWRP App from Google play and install. You could also search for a flashable TWRP recovery und Update within TWRP to latest version by flashing the .img file.
The problem wont be the recovery. Make sure gapps is the correct one for your device. Check the software versions and cross reference them against Apkmirror.com.
Beamed in by telepathy.
That's a problem of Cyanogenmod 13 / 14.
Wipe your Cache/System/Data Partitions and reflash Cyanogenmod 14.1. Then don't boot up, you've to install the gapps package directly after that.
Make sure that you have downloaded the ARM 7.1 gapps-package.
You can flash twrp or stock rom from 'mobile odin'. Or you can download flashable twrp.zip....but flashing stock ROM requires additional download
I solved the problem. The problem was recovery and i knew it. I downloaded the apk of TWRP App from their official website. It worked flawlessly. After that i Flashed Cyanogenmod 14.1 then gapps with the latest version of TWRP and perfect! Everything works without any problem. I hope this answer is helpful for the other people having the same issue.
