So I am running cm10.1, cwm touch recovery and the cwm app for management. I would like to switch to twrp so that my backup files will be accessible to move to and from my PC. When I try to install twrp from the cwm app it just gives me a message that the app is configured to work with my current recovery, and backs out. I did pay for full use.
How do I get switched? Thanks.

Nevermind, i used Nexus 7 ToolKit to do it...
all you had to do was fastboot flash the recovery image or use goomanager.....SMH. toolkits have made people utterly helpless.

Rooted my N7 with WugFresh's Toolkit, and I've made four CWM back ups since rooting and what with the data files from games like NOVA 3, ME, Max Payne and alike I'm running out of storage. In fact I have a notification, "Storage space running out".
So I've decided to delete some files, and I decided I don't need the four CWM Back ups but I can't delete them??
I've tried using my usual file explorer, Solid Explorer but with no luck there I tried with Root Explorer but still cannot delete the CWM Back ups with that either, WTF?
Never any problems like this with either my last two Android devices (both rooted), any body had similar issues?

Flash http://core.routed.com/CWM_Backup_Wipe.zip in cwm recovery and it will wipe everything. There's been some known problems with deleting backups.

Thanks for the reply, does that zip just delete what's in the CWM Back up folder?

You have to delete the backups within CWM itself. reboot into CWM recovery and delete backups from there, it's a bug.
Thanks for the reply but where is the option in CWM recovery to delete back ups?
Did you mean CWM recovery or did you mean ROM Manager because I installed CWM through WugFresh's Toolkit and if I select the option in ROM Manager I'm told I must install CWM through ROM Manager??
TIA

First off I am using the latest version of CWM touch from rom manager. Once in CWM recovery "not rom manager, you still cant delete backups with it." select backup/restore and in that section below the backup and restore options will be delete.
From my understanding if you are using the older version of CWM installed via wugfresh nexus toolbox and use rom manager to upgrade your version of CWM you will no longer be able to delete the backups via CWM, you have to use the version of CWM you made the backups with or it will not work! Once you've cleared them you can upgrade CWM via rom manager or flashing it yourself which I recommend.
Thanks again for replying, appreciate it!
So I have no way to delete them then because the version of CWM installed by Nexus Toolkit does not have the delete option and if I install a newer version of CWM via ROM Manager I still won't be able to delete my back ups??
WTF should I do then?

Flash the zip I posted earlier. I'm personally saying with the 5.x.x.x version of cwm because it makes a single file with everything I need - but that's just me.

Have you given this a try? I haven't used it so I don't know if it will work for deleting the blobs folder as well or not.
What I did personally was just flash the tablet back to the stock image, it took me 10 minutes and I had a fresh start. I made sure "do not install CWM" was selected in the toolkit and flashed back to stock then rerooted. After the usual update binaries blah blah I installed CWM through rom manager and upgraded to the latest CWM touch, rebooted and installed Paranoid android and Trinity kernel lol.
Cliffnotes: I reflashed the stock image and started over properly.

This guy has a point. Using the older version means no blobs folder and that can take up a whole lot more space than the older method. I use the newer version because I like the faster restore.
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.

Which Custom Recovery are you using? and why?

I just realized that CWM has a problem on Nexus 7. Can't delete old backups!! You can't delete files in the CWM backup folder thru file explorer, terminal with SU or ADB. For that, and so many other performance reasons, I dropped CWM faster than drunk girl in stilettos. TWRP is what I use on my Galaxy S2 and I just love it. You can queue up several zips for install in order, like: 1) TDJ cache wipe, 2) install ROM, 3) install Gapps, 4) TDJ cache wipe again. then, come back 2 minutes later, and you're ready to reboot. ALso, TWRP has a file manager in recovery, so you can actually delete those annoying backup folders that CWM won't even let you delete. TWRP FTW.
I also notice that TWRP has the nice backup options for "System/Boot/Data" backup only. So I can clean backup my rom without all those apps(which is HUGE)
guess I'll need to put back TWRP in my Nexus 7 again.
TWRP. I tried the latest CWM but even the touch version is not that good for me. Also the De duplication backup of CWM is just not quite right in my opinion. In my experience, leaving thousand files in the sd card is causing performance problems compared to just few large files.

If I flash Clockworkmod Recovery in Rom Manager and then Reboot into Recovery from Rom Manager, I go right to cwm recovery. I have tested making and deleting nandroid backups there and it works just fine. My backups consist of a folder containing 5 files including an md5 checksum so I don't know what people are talking about with 'thousands of files'. I think the people criticizing CWM don't know how to use it. I just make sure I flash Clockworkmod Recovery in Rom Manager before I Reboot into Recovery. Works every time. I don't use the Touch version, just plain old Rom Manager v5.0.2.1 and CWM 6.0.1.0.
I had installed CWM first, but now I changed to TWRP and I like it much more. With an USB-stick connected you have the possibility to backup / restore ROMs from there directly, which makes much more sense than backing up to internal memory. Also the other options provided for install / backup / restore are well done. Really nice work!

TWRP
Big icon easy to use.
CWM, in all honesty, I unlocked and rooted and have never gone back into recovery. Because this is the first device I've ever owned where I didn't feel the need to flash a ROM yet! ( key word,YET) I use my Galaxy S 2 for my flashing addiction.

I used to use CWM for everything, but then on my one xl TWRP worked a lot better. How is it on the N10? Anything missing from either one? Is CWM still the the more common one?
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
I'm using TWRP on my Nexus 10. I used to use CWM on my S3, but switched to TWRP. Mostly for goomanager support and placing your back ups to an external SD card. Also unlike CWM it's easier to place backups on your computer because there are no "blobs" like CWM.
Not saying CWM is bad, I just prefer TWRP.
I just finished flashing twrp on my galaxy nexus this weekend and reclaimed more than a gig of wasted space, (wtf is blobs?). Now all my devices run twrp as a recovery. Also for the first time since my nexus one I don't have rom manager installed. Twrp/goo is the recovery of choice these days.
Don't forget to donate, it's a small price to pay for what your getting!
I found TWRP better on my Nexus 7 then CWM. I haven't tried CWM on my Nexus 10, but TWRP is working great, and I have no reason to try CWM currently.

Because I don't know what app it is I have no idea what it did so what I would do is go to recovery and do the following command to every file you want:
adb pull /sdcard/Some_file.txt C://Users/Your_name/Desktop/Some_folder/Some_file.txt
If possible you can make a backup of the internal storage and restore when you reflash your rom or something if you have TWRP also moving the image file to your PC using ADB Pull.
After backing up you have to use this tool with your device on the bootloader menu: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamjwr66v
You can restore your files afterwards but if you originally used a custom rom then flash the custom rom.
