I just rooted and installed CWM and I'm wondering what method you use to get into CWM recovery? I'm currently using rom manager free and heard that rom toolbox is the newer, more current app that has the ability to boot into recovery as well as other perks.
What do you use?
I use jr3 rom. Holding power button gives the option.

I'm on Jr4 so it's in the power menu but Rom Manager would be my next choice.

I'm just after rooting and would like to install clockworkmod so that I can do a nandroid backup.
Where can I download the files?

OK I've ROM manager installed. So is that basically cwm or what? I'm new this.
If I want to flash a new ROM, I just make a backup of current stock ROM using the back up feature and then click install ROM?

Simply..no. You have successfully got root access? I would start by uninstalling ROM manager and install goo manager from pstore, from there you can install a custom recovery ( CWM or TWRP ). I would also suggest doing a backup as soon as you install cwm or twrp before trying to flash Roms!

Yes, I have root access and Superuser and busybot files installed. But no CWM
I don't understand why rom manager is so different to goo manager? Do I need to download CWM from somewhere else or does it come with Rom/Goo manager?
Very confusing to know what to do now.
You can use ROM manager but I think most prefer goo manager or ROM toolbox. I prefer goo, a lot of people are using twrp instead of cmw as it does things different ( backup to USB/ smaller backups) if you use goo just open go to top right corner, click, select install open recovery and follow instructions to install the recovery of choice. Hope this helps.

Thanks.
Have CM10 flashed now.
Just wondering is there an easier/quicker way to get all my apps and data back on the nexus rather than manually one by one installing from playstore again??
I've titanium backup pro and I made a backup before I flashed if that's any good?
If you backed up apps you can open titanium go to top right, click on the folder with check mark and restore from there ( just apps not system) or just click on backup restore and do them individually.

I have a N7 that is stock rooted. It has TWRP installed and I would like CWM on it as I'm more comfortable with it, can I just flash CWM or will it cause problems?
just flash the recovery image with fastboot and you'll be fine
You can also do it directly from ROM Manager App. Just select what recovery you want and reboot.

I successfully rooted and unlocked the bootloader on my WiFi only nexus 7. Running 4.2.2. Downloaded Rom manager and while trying to create a recovery I get an error that says "error while downloading from server. Please make sure you have a stable internet connection, and that your SD card is inserted and has free space.
Also I tried using recovery manager and it won't download the recovery file. Also when I try to boot in recovery mode I get the android with the red triangle. I renamed the boot to recovery file also. Any help would be great!
That is why I prefer to do things manually instead of using ROM Manager, GooManager, Recovery Manager, Nandroid Manager, etc.
I got it to work by using recovery tools. Now I have flashed paranoid android. It didn't flash the Google market app. How do I add that now?

Goo manager. You go to menu, then install openrecoveryscript

ROM Toolbox has a recovery installer that includes TWRP. Just run the install; it'll overwrite current recovery.
It's under Tools - ROM Management - Recovery

I don't recommend using an app to install a custom recovery. I've seen too many reports of people bricking their device with it.
It's just as easy to use a simple tool to do it...this is the one I prefer:

It lets you pick TWRP or CWM and will do the whole thing for you.
If you use rom manager or goo manager ONLY for putting a recovery on it works pretty well. It's when you use it to flash roms is when you can get into trouble. I'd recommend deleting it after getting your recovery. It's too easy to play with it and find the wrong rom for your device. Especially for someone new to flashing.
ok so i used TowelRoot to root the phone, then the Motopacolypse apk to unlock bootloader. Root is fine, and iget the "unlocked bootloader warning" screen everytime i turn on my phone. next step would be to install recovery so i can flash ROMs right? downloaded ROM manager, dled and installed CWM, but i cant restart into recovery. i used ROM Managers option, and i just a normal boot. I try holding down the power + volume down button, and i still get a normal boot. any clue on whats going on?
Give holding power and both + - volume controls all at once to boot into the boot loader. From there press - to select recovery option and press + to go into recovery. That should get you there if the recovery indeed flashed.

nice one! im still getting a normal boot, how do i install custom recovery?
The recovery you flashed isn't compatible with the M more the likely... Try these ...twrp for KitKat second from the bottom.... Try flashing the recovery with rashr ... Give me a second I'll find CWM

TWR is the only one that (finally) worked for me. THANKS
TWRP and CWM are not official for this phone, that's why you can't load them up through ROM Manager. Either way, nice to see you have it working now.
i just flashed TWRP successfully using Flashify (plya store) and TWRP 2710 for razrM from Dhacker.
total time to download install and flash - about 2 minutes
