[Q] Installed a CWM 6.0.3 but having issues to upgrade or uninstall - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've installed CVM 6.0.3 and tried to make a recovery but had some issues so i tried to upgrade to 6.0.3 or even uninstall it but i couldn't find anything helpful
I've tried using Odin to install CVM 6.0.4 in order to overwrite the old one but it didn't work well
Any ideas about what did i do wrong ??
Thanks in Advance

There are zip files for newer recoveries.. My personal favorite is Phil's touch... Just download the file and flash it through your current recovery... And then reboot recovery...

Does that mean that i need to be rooted ?? because i'm not and i'm not intending to do it now

no need for root. download new recovery as an zip (Philz is an good choice, find his tread here on xda) and reboot into recovery. Flash new recovery zip just like any other zip. Reboot and voila... all done

here u go and u can flash any custom rom with this (only made for ace)
u cant flash any rom without this.download the zip and follow instructions in my previous post.
you can flash any rom you like made for galaxy ace, and most of the roms root your phone after flashing.
yup..u dont need to root ur phone.. just flash the cmw from ur stock recovery mode.. then u can flash any custom from the cwm ^^.. enjoy!
I have been seeing the same questions being asked again and again..Do we need to root or unroot before flashing,Wonder why :/
Well for me, im not that hightech...
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
first of all..
what u need to do is to download a official cwm..
flash the cwm from ur stock recovery mode (power off+home button)
then download the custom rom that u wan
Follow the instructions given by the developer and then flash it in the cwm (power off+home button)
Tada! u can have ur custom rom ^^
You don't need to be rooted in order to flash any custom rom...
Rooting just gives you powers to access stunning things on your phone...customize your phone etc...

Yeah as long as its a zip file. Tar will be flashed through Odin. Img through adb. Backups don't translate well between some recoveries though, just a heads up.

[XU] Flashable Recovery

Similar to concept used by user mankotialovely in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2220717
I have compiled a Cwm recovery.
This is for users having LOCKED BOOTLOADERS. When we install a custom from recovery‚ our recovery is wiped
and we have to install it again. Moreover if we get a boot loop
after installing custom rom then we have to flash official rom
again‚ root and install recovery again. To overcome these problems
I have made cwm recovery as a flashable zip. So after installing a custom
rom‚ don't reboot and flash this zip. So we have a recovery after rebooting.
Even if we get bootloop‚ we can restore phone using nandroid
backup.
So basically this is a cwm recovery which can be flashed from
Cwm itself.
Thanks to user mankotialovely
And atis112 for Cwm recovery (http://code.google.com/p/kumquat-project/downloads/detail?name=cwm-1.0-kumquat.zip&can=2&q)
You have compiled or its atis work?
Only compiled the zip. Files taken from his zip.

How will u flash the xip if u dont have recovery
Becausevits wipedv???
Sent from my ST25i using xda app-developers app
Yes it can't be flashed without recovery. U can flash it while u r flashing custom rom using recovery so that recovery is not wiped after reboot
Sent from my Xperia U using xda app-developers app
and supposed the rom already has recovery then?
It definitely can give compatibility problems as the file are yet to be set up and boom you already flashed something new
Hope you understand
If rom already has one then no need of it dude. I reapeat it is for custom roms in LOCKED BOOTLOADERS that don't have built in recoveries.
Hope u understand

sorry
You didn't give enough info. If you are completely stock, then no. But if you have previously flashed a custom recovery (CWR or TWRP), if you update TWRP it will root your phone.

"if you have previously flashed a custom recovery"
You need a pc now, he was saying if you had ever flashed a custon recovery and still had it installed you wouldn't need a pc.
Bones stock requires a pc.
