Does the CWM recovery has official site to download and stay up to date with the latest version? I don't like TWRP...
CWM has not been updated for a long time so I think TWRP is the only option.
I beleve CWM is installed via their ROM manager app.
http://www.clockworkmod.com/
Most ROMs won't install with Clockworkmod these days, so either you use TWRP or you go without.

It's true. CWM recovery hasn't been updated in many, many, many, many months.

I am sure, this is a beginner question, but this is my first android device, so I hope you will forgive me.
I rooted my device successfully with Djembeys DEODEXED modified Stock Rom (i9505) and now I found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279082) where you can find Mods for i9505.
I am interested in the beats audio mod, so I installed the Goo Manager.
When I select "Flash Rom" the Goo Manager asked my to allow a CWM Recovery.
My questions are: What is a CWM Recovery? Can I install it without any problems? Can I flash the zip for Beats EQ after this is done?
Remember please: This is my first Android device (last was 3.0 HC), so please don´t punish me for so simple questions

You need a custom recovery, either CWM or TWRP, to flash mods roms or kernels. Samsung recovery doesn`t allow this. So yes, install the recovery, you need it.

Ok.. I tried... but it seems that there is no official CWM Recovery for my i9505.
Do I have to wait or is there something out there working?

Both CWM and TWRP in Original Development thread work well for the I9505.
Hi Guyz
Sorry if this has been discussed before many times.

Download a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) and Flash or install SuperSU.

On the day I got my phone I used CWM recovery while I waited for TWRP to be released, I prefer TWRP over CWM, I followed this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454079

Hi guys,
I just want to ask you how could I replace TWRP Recovery with CWM on my LG G2 D802 International?Are there any issue/incompatibility?
I have rooted and installed TWRP, but I have issue with installing CyanogenMod 10.2 Stable (I checked MD5 and downloaded it many times): as I understand is a problem of TWRP compatibility.

It depends on what you download. If you download the recovery.img you can use the app "flashify" to flash the recovery, or if you download a flashable .zip then flash it in recovery then reboot recovery.
There are also instructions on how to use adb and loki here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670

I'm interested with the flashable zip, so I just need to download it from Official CWM topic the file called "ZIP FILES - OFFICIAL - TOUCH D802" and flash it from TWRP recovery?

I'm not 100% if thats a "lokified" recovery or not. I don't think you'll hurt anything by flashing it. If you can't flash something using that recovery then there is an issue and you can flash another recovery.

I used the Flashify app from the play store to switch recoveries with no issues.

What do You suggest?
Otherwise, there is also the app called ROM Manger which should automatically flash the CWM.
The important thing is that it does not create problems between recovery.

No issue guys,
CWM flashed correctly! Thanks!
As the subject mentioned, It gets auto-unrooted. So, every nightly update, I always do CF-Auto-Root to root it again.
The problem is my TWRP recovery gets wiped, and I still have to install new TWRP recovery again.
Is there any other easier rooting method which doesnt erase my TWRP recovery other than CFroot method?

OK, that's REALLY strange... TWRP shouldn't be getting clobbered unless the way you're installing it is causing weird issues.
Have you tried flashing TWRP using heimdall/odin/JOdin? It sounds like you're using some sort of root app to flash it on-device???
As to losing root - SuperSU->Settings->Install backup script is the workaround until we integrate SuperSU into omni.

I installed TWRP recovery through Goomanager, install script on the phone.
Is that why my TWRP recovery keeps getting removed everytime I do system update?

Possibly, goomanager might be doing something weird like doing a fakeflash. I'm not sure.
If you install a TWRP image using heimdall or odin it should persist - the dd method listed in http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/124 should work too. (i337 is the AT&T/Rogers Note2, right?)
Omni shouldn't be flashing recovery on this device (Omni only changes recovery on devices that can't change kernel without changing recovery - like the I9100/I777/N7000 and many Sonys), but even if it is, it should be flashing a TWRP build...

I've seen / had the issue to with GooManager. Indeed it is doing a "fakeflash", if you go into recovery from GooManager you will get into the recovery but after that. If you do it on boot you won't get there. No matter what, unless you do a manual install for the recovery..
Hope this helped,

I am just curious. Why does Omni Rom unroot the device after system-update?

It is not only the issue on OmniROM but on (almost) every ROM, I've had the same on cyanogen and Samsung Stock.. So flashing it yourself is better.. Hope this bug will get fixed somewhere in the future.

It's because Omni doesn't have root yet. It's on the to do list. The easiest way is to install SuperSU to system, then install the back up script. That way you'll keep root through updates.

I know very little about anything, and I was experiencing this same thing. CF-Auto-Root reinstalls stock recovery which overwrites TWRP during the rooting process. Each time I update a nightly and then run CF-Auto-Root to re-root it. After that I use mobile ODIN to reinstall TWRP recovery and all is good.

You shouldn't be using CF-Auto-Root if you have a custom recovery (which you need in order to install Omni). Just flash SuperSU in recovery.
I knew something wasn't quite right but I did it that way because it works. I have downloaded su onto the SD card, as well as the latest nightly build of Omni. Can I install the new nightly with TWRP, and add su as a second zip to install at the same time? Or should I flash them separately?

I just installed TWRP (2.6.x) from GooManager (per the all-in-one thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314494), and I'm about to flash the GPE ROM by Danvdh. I understand that this ROM is NOT loki'd, and that normally I'd need to flash loki-doki, but I suspect that this TWRP is an "auto-loki" version, where it will automatically patch any new kernels that are installed. How would I know that this is the case?

if it boots and just sits there at the boot screen, chances are the recovery is not auto loki'ed, I flash the loki patch everytime a flash a rom to be on the safe side. Good luck

I think the only "auto-loki" is a CWM one called Philz recovery so chances are you'll need the loki-doki zip.
Its like 1MB anyways, might as weljust download it and keep it on your phone. It doesn't matter what rom or recovery your using its the same zip file and most recoverys let you flash more than one zip at a time anyways.
correct on all above
twrp is loki'd, so you can flash it. but does not auto loki non-loki'd roms etc
so flash loki after your mentioned rom
like AX, if in doubt i flash loki-doki anyway
:good:
