Reboot into Recovery fail?

Ok so I rooted and installed CMW on like the 23rd of June and it installed CMW onto my phones internal SD (I guess it didn't recognize the external SD). Apparently now there is a fix to flash CMW onto the SD card but I can't find any instructions on how to uninstall CMW from the internal SD... Do I just delete the folder and then flash CMW onto the external?
The second problem is that now that I have updated my rom manager and CMW to the latest version I can't get into recovery. It just boot loops and I have to boot into download mode and reboot from there.
Help is greatly appreciated! I want to be able to try CM10 so bad lol.

You seem a bit confused on the CWM works -- Your first problem, really isn't a problem at all.When you flash a different version of CWM, there isn't any need to delete any folder. With that said, some back-ups from one version(s) of CWM may not work with others.
If you are on T-Mo as your info says, download Terminal Emulator from the Play Store, and follow the instructions from this thread very carefully - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766552
This should fix both your problems and also install the version of CWM that is compatible with both internal and external storage.

[Q] Flashing clarification

After having just recently rooted my phone using CF-Auto root (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlsO5o_-CI8), I am looking to flash a new ROM and hoping to get some clarification or confirmation on the flashing method I am planning to use. I want to try and flash either a Google edition (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341794) or Omega ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253528).
When attempting to flash I will be following these steps:
Perform a nandroid backup,
1. Downloading the .zip file and put it onto my external memory card.
2. Booting into PhilZ CWM recovery and wiping data/cache.
3. Perform a factory reset using CWM recovery. (does this delete all my apps?)
4. Flash the .zip file using CWM.
5. Reboot phone.
Are these the correct steps to take?
I keep reading something about bootloaders and how it can brick your phone if you do not unlock it, is this true? I am unsure as to whether or not I have unlocked it.
Furthermore, can i use titanium backup or another program to not lose my apps? I really would not like to reinstall every single app after flashing a new ROM.
I am currently using the GT-I9505 locked to Virgin in Australia.

1. If You have Just Rooted it using CF Root then u need to Install Recovery First. You Can Head to the Philz Recovery Forum and download the Tar file and flash Via ODIn.
And then You Can follow the Steps mentioned.

I believe I have downloaded CWM recovery, or which ever custom recovery this is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281367
I am still quite unsure on the bootloader, should I just not worry about this? Also, is there anyway to recover apps afterwards because I do not feel like downloading all my apps again.

Problem with instaling rom on i9300 int

Hi everyone
This is my first post so please go easy on me
After long reading on internet I was trying to install custom rom on my phone but keep failing, my galaxy s3 is rooted already with CWM, after reading instruction how to root the phone it just keep saying installation failed from SD card, also try using twrp which did more harm then good for me but anyway managed to go back to CWM and still the same what I'm doing wrong? I download the CM11 nightly but it keeps failing to install.
Anyone have any suggestions?
u need to install the latest twrp or cwm
then put the rom zip file in your sd card
wipe data and cache
and select the zip from your recovery and flash it
done this but it keeps failing when installing also saying installation aborted it looks like that CWM and twrp having problem reading my sd card
try to change your sd card or borrow from any of your friend for flashing purpose
sorted now, downloaded rom manager which updated my CWM and now running on 4.3 happy days, will try kitkat 4.4 later

Cant OTS Update to 4.41

I have have a nexus 5 running Paranoid Android 4.4 with franco kernal and CWM recovery. Every time I try to use Paranoid OTA to update to 4.41 I get to the CWM recovery and am presented with this:
+Verifying SD card marker.....
+SD card marker not found........
+Error processing ROM manager script. Please verify that you are performing the backup, restore, or ROM installation from ROM Manager v.4.0.0 or higher
+/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sd card/clockworkmod/recovery.log. Please open ROM Manager to report the issue.
What the heck is ROM manager.
I also looked around and saw that re rooting my device could fix the problem but is there a way to do that without loosing all the work I put into customizing my phone.
Simple.
OTA has never supported CWM because of the closed source scripting in CWM. You need philz or twrp in order to use the ota. If you want to keep using CWM you will have to manually flash after the ota has downloaded the update.

Install Firmware Help

I have a T Mobile Note 3. I originally had Jelly Bean firmware. I rooted it and have gone through several custom ROMs. I was using Cyanogenmod 12 Lollipop, but today it started messing up. So, I went into recovery and wiped the data and dalvik, but that didn't help. So, I wiped EVERYTHING. Even what was on the SD card. Now, I am following steps using ODIN to install firmware again, but it isn't working.
I have gotten as far as to install CWM, but that's it.
I have CWM 6.0.4.7 installed.
I tried installing CF autoroot. I have downloaded and installed KitKat stock firmware files. Each time I try to install ODIN just says it failed.
If I could get a custom ROM on the SD card, I think I would be ok, but even though ODIN works, Windows doesn't let "see" my phone. I can't access the storage through the computer.
Someone please help. I'm stuck.

What error in odin? Just mount your SD card on a card reader, plug to a PC and put CM there. Then just flash with twrp.
