You most probably dont have a custom recovery. And if you do, its not TWRP. Please flash TWRP and try again. CWM does not work (although the custom ones do).
As Brownmonkey300 said, you have to use a recovery that is compatible with openrecovery scripts, which the original CWM isn't. You may want to switch your recovery to TWRP or PhilZ Touch, which are two very popular alternatives; and if you are already rocking one of those, then you may want to upgrade to the latest version. Check your specific device's subforum to grab the version compatible with your smartphone.

I just formatted my phone back to factory settings. I am in the process of installing all my apps again and just realized I purposely never updated my ROM Manager to the latest version because of the new permission is asks for (the one that lets ROM Manager use your account authentication information). So, is there any way for me to download an older version of ROM Manager?
Thanks!

+1.. then you can install older version if you dont like.. built in on ROM Manager..
Thanks for the suggestions but I have my reasons for having strict access control on my phone.
Is it because you are a Dark Agent?
Yes, you got me.
Is there no way to download older version of apps from Market?
^ why don't you just email koush man? I'm sure he would send you the .apk, and think you are crazy paranoid too.
Good suggestion.

I send him two polite emails about Rom Manager, and he never to the time to answer. A bit sad somewehere.
What do you use ROM manager for? Use the update.zip for root and to install recovery and then use recovery for all of your flashing. I only used ROM manager one time to install recovery

That is what I am trying to do, but cannot as it wont flash Clockwormod.Therefore cannot root. I cannot use abd as I am on mac OSX 10.4.I suppose that what you meant by the update zip.

GREAT, I AM ON JFD NOW - HOW DO I ROOT?
You are likely still connected to your PC and booted up to the T-Mobile jingle. Great, drop the notification bar down and mount your phone...
HERE ARE THE STEPS TO FOLLOW....
BUT FIRST... WHAT UPDATE.ZIP FILE DO YOU NEED?
There are two options here. Choose before you start.
A – an update.zip (633KB) that roots your phone only. You can then install Rom Manager from the Market to flash CWR (Clockwork Recovery) and install custom ROMs. There have been issues with CWR not flashing properly recently (June 2011), hence Option B.
B – use the other update.zip (1.7MB) and this will flash CWR for you – allowing you to immediately flash a custom ROM.. I do this because it's faster.
So, A or B?
1.
A: Download this update.zip file to root your phone. You plan to install Rom Manager to flash CWR and a new ROM later.
B: Download this update.zip file to flash CWR... you will need to flash a custom ROM for Root. I prefer this method.
Also, download the ROM you plan to flash (assuming you are not sticking on JFD – why would you).
LINK TO THE DEV SECTION
2. Copy the update.zip (and the ROM) to the INTERNAL SD (not the external SD Card). sdcard/
3. Unplug the USB (assuming you are still connected after using ODIN)...
Hold down volume up + volume down + Power for about 9 seconds.
If you prefer, you can power off your phone, then hold in all 3 buttons to boot into recovery, I don't see the point in waiting for the phone to power off.
This will get you to a recovery menu (blue/purple text) after some yellow text.
4. In this (the stock recovery menu) select 'Reinstall Packages'
Use volume to navigate + power to select.
5. It will cycle a bit, you will see that yellow text again, then it will return to the stock recovery. Select Reinstall packages again.
You are now in CWR (clockwork recovery).
You can either reboot, flash your new ROM or make a backup now... I COVER HOW TO FLASH ROMS LATER – JUST KEEP READIN BELOW
Yeah, it is that easy!!

Give S15724N a thanks. The first update.zip will just root you. The second with boot you into CWR so that you can flash a custom ROM (all of which have root)
edit: here is the post so you can grab the files
im just letting the S3 users know that i have now got an s3 and will begin developing for s3 now!
starting with my first creation for the s3, i have made a flashable .zip file that flashes the selected recovery, so no need for re-downloading and re-flashing, simply flash the .zip, then aroma will open asking whitch recovery to flash then it will flash then reboot into the new recovery!
coming soon!

personally I do not see the point yet as I just can download the single recovery (there is anyway not that much choice) and flash it but I am sure there are users that will appreciate an Aroma installer.

The point of this being that some recoveries cant flash certain .zip files... eg twrp 2.5.0.0 cannot flash .zip files with aroma, this is also a pachage to help developers!

An app that could connect to a central repository and download the latest versions would be great. Then using the same method stweaks by siyah uses to "hijack" recovery or temp boot would make more sense to me.
That way you open app, choose recovery to boot and flash your zips. Then boot back to android...
Rather than boot recovery, flash zip,,choose recovery, flash zip...
Or just use philz recovery and be able to flash all zips anyway

Hello, first time poster. I recently tried rooting my phone using CWM method. I'm running sph-l720 with software version vpaumf9 and android version 4.2.2. I installed CWM (this version SPH-L720 OUDHS Recovery) with odin with success. Then flashed SuperUser v.099. Everything went smooth until I opened up super user and tried to install binaries and it says "Install failed". I'm wondering if I didnt have the wrong beginning firmware and i needed to (but didnt) install that pre-kernel. I'm also wondering if I have to download the original firmware and have to flash to stock in order to "unroot" even though I didnt finish the SuperUser process, or is their a way to delete the super user app and try to install it again using the same CWM i have already on the phone. I hope this isn't confusing. I'm not a complete novice to rooting, but no expert. I rooted my galaxy s2 but went to Iphone for a while, but now I'm back and a little dissapointed with myself at this fail. Any suggestions? Do i have to go to stock first? Was I using the wrong files for my initial firm ware and need the pre kernel? Am I blabbering on? (yes) Thanks in advance.

Grap CF-Autoroot from here
Follow the instructions here:
Boot back to phone. Open up SU and update binaries.
Then
Go to Playstore and download/install GooManager
Open GooManager and then press the 'menu' button (capicitive button next to Home Button) and choose to install recovery (I like TWRP).
Then let it do it's thing.
If you'd like a real easy way to get 'into recovery mode' from the phone I use the Quickboot app
Also make sure that if you are going to flash ANY ROMs you follow the instructions the developer suggests - many suggest specific recoveries be used

thank you! do i need to do anything before i do this? (Like using odin to revert back to stock?)
i ask because i already have CWM installed
I did the auto root, and open SuperSU and it doesnt ask to update binaries...does that mean it is already done. I didnt find the option in the settings.

As long as your on some kind of TW/Stock based ROM you should be Okay.
However if you want to go back to straight (AND ROOTED) stock you can use one of rwhilco12's 'one-click' restores.
The one click downloads as a zip. decompress and then run the one -click. If you've never run a oneclick read here
It will give you a stock ROM, rooted, MF9 Modem, Stock recovedry, and Stock kernel. You'll then have to use GooManger method to get custom recovery.

man thanks so much. so i definitly got super user access. I'm about to do the goo manager. since you suggested the twrp i think i'm going to try that. since i have CWM recovery installed, do u think that will create any issues if I go to install TWRP from goo manager
actually i googled and it seems that goo manager will seamlessly overwrite cwm. sorry for the questions before searching. appreciate the help. i almost didn't come on here, which would of lead me to reverting to stock, doing cwm again, then being upset that i needed twrm for most roms lmao. I owe u one. If u ever need to learn how to make bad decisions, just shoot me a pm. I got u covered.
No it will just replace it.
I actually (and many around here too) prefer TWRP 2.5.0.2.
You can download the zip for that here, boot to recovery you have now (CWM) and then install that. Or use Goo to install lates TWRP and boot to recovery and then install zip and choose the 2.5.02 you downloaded and then save to your sd card
scratch what i posted here. I ended up having to download ROMmanager and update CWM, then used CWM to install the zip you provided me. thanks so much man. Do you have a favorite stable ROM you recommend using TWRP. I value your advice

Glad you got it.
As for ROMs you really have to try them out for yourself. There are some really great TW ROMs ; Sacs, negalite, triforce and others. For CM/AOSP there are a whole bunch to choose from. I mess with just about all of them. But my daily driver has to be one hundred percent working and reliable so for that I'm usually on a stock debloated and modified TW ROM. Take some time to read through the OPs of the devs and just as importantly through the follow up posts to see what works what doesn't ahs how to fix or get what you need.
Good luck

Okay so today I ran into a problem trying to flash 3.99 rc2 paranoid android via clockworkmod I didn't see that flashing it using cwm would cause baseband issues and now I have to flash the 4.3 radio but apperantly I need twrp for that so since I do not have a computer and goomanager won't download the latest twrp I was wondering if I can just download the latest version of twrp and flash it using clockwork mod? I know it sounds weird haha flashing a recovery via a recovery but anyways a quick reply would be thankfull

i never use a pc for android, use recovery tools from the market and choose twrp, download and it will reboot to flash, thats it. very convenient
Use this app and choose your recovery tool that you want.
Recovery Tools. look for it in the market.
I'm using this tool and it's great.
Hey thanks guys that really helped! did and now have twrp although it didn't download the latest one it downloaded 2.6.3.0 but still works!

Its not weird man its a zip file you should download and flash it like you would flash anything else. Simple no need to over think it man just go to TWRP thread and download the zip file of the latest which is 2.6.3.3 I believe. Also the thread name has a paperclip at the end of it so click on it and you will see all attached files within the thread. There you will see all of the TWRP zips... Download latest one and thats it..
Also are you sure you had the latest CWm since I find it hard to believe there is a version that wont work

Yes I'm %100 positive I had latest and the only version of cwm that would not cause issues was the version right before the 6.0.4.3 which I believe is the number if I remember correctly but all is good now I used that app I was recommended and flashed twrp using that and flashed the radio and am now on beanstalk with no problems but I will flash the latest version of twrp now that I know I can haha thanks for the info on that

I have an i337. Never had any OTAs. I was using a recovery that would 'auto-loki' so I never had to flash the lokidoki zip before.
I'm trying to install the latest GPE by Danvdh and I keep ending up booting into twrp(2.6.0.0).
I wipe all that one would normally wipe.
Then I flash the ROM.
The aroma installer starts, I've tried the googy kernal and (mostly) the stock kernal.
I uncheck the reboot now option at the end of the aroma installer to get back into twrp
I then flash the lokidoki zip.
I reboot and get kicked back into the recovery.
I'm thinking I may need a newer version of TWRP, but I'm not sure. I dont want to use odin to get back on jellybean just to update the recovery unless I know that's the issue.
the loki zip is ~10MB
Any info is much appreciated. I've been at this for hours.
You need a newer version of twrp. You don't need to use Odin. Look for the flashify app in the play store.

If you can find a zip. I'd make one for you, they're easy once you know how, but I'm traveling on business and don't have access to a computer.
