CWM flashable zip for ICS

Hi, is there a CWM flashable zip for the ICS bootloader?
All the ones I have are for Nvflash.
Any would do though I would prefer 6.0.1.5 and/or 5.0.2.8

Well I use the 6.0.1.5 Version because on the 5.0.2.8 my 2X always vibrates when I am in the CWM recovery

Yea but basically is there recovery flashable CWM that is ICS compatible?

CWM flashable zip (locked BL)

i am looking for the CWM topic which someone has made so after you have installed a new rom you flash the CWM file to re-install CWM. I am 100% sure there is one and that i read it, i just cannot find it anymore

How are you going to flash CWM if you don't have CWM?
I think you're looking for this or this
This thread is god http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153167
You will find everything you need that are essentials for rooting, recoveries and roms etc. Direct link to CWM for locked BL is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187363
It's a script you'll have to run from your PC. (Incase you were thinking it was a flashable zip)
EDIT: Looks like diego beat me to it lol

nope thats not it, you can do flash it becuase you have already booted into it eg. boot into cwm flash new rom then while you are still in CWM you reflash the file to keep it, other wise if you reboot out of it from installing a new rom you loose cwm

[Q] Installing TWRP over CWM

Hey guys, I was wondering if I can just simply install TWRP over CWM using the tool kit provided by mskip or I'll brick my phone if I do that? Thanks and sorry for my poor english lol
I installed twrp provided by maclaw team over cwm simply by flashing twrp zip in cwm (like you would flash new rom, or gapps) and rebooted recovery. Nothing bricked and had no problems.

Hey guys if you flash twrp over cwm will the data (nandroid) be restorable through twrp or only through cwm?

I read somewhere, that unfortunately no. However, if something goes really wrong, you still can flash cwm back and then restore. (and if you can't then perhaps flash it through odin?)
Oh well, thanks a lot anyway

no problem
when twpr install, reboot and then do a back up with twpr, it is clear that CWM will recognize you as you create a folder TWPR.
I'm now with TWPR

Stop giving people bad information... Of course you can if you have the updater script written to write raw image to your recovery partition.

So, does it work like that, that I can simply open cwm backup file in twrp? Or is this script written by something external? Because that's what OP was asking for I guess.
I wrote this because I read it somewhere in development thread of CM 10.2, if it's false, then I'm guilty of spreading misinformation

No you can't restore a cwm backup in twrp. I thought the OP asked if it's ok to flash twrp recovery while in cwm, to change the recovery. That works fine
Hi guys, I read all the threads about replacing the CWM with the TWRP, everyone seems to agree on the fact that you need to flash the zip file TWRP by entering the CWM, however there is no such thing as a zip file, I checked on the download page
https://dl.twrp.me/golden/
and there are either .tar files or .img files.
Can I just flash the .tar TWRP file using ODIN ?
Does it overwrite the existing CWM ?

eventually I just flashed the CWM using ODIN and everything worked fine, then I realized that I had flashed the official CWM and not the novafusion version, so I again flashed it using ODIN and everything works fine. Now In only have to flash the ROM.

I am trying it a bit detailed...
You do not really remove the old one, just flash the new one over it. And how you flash it depends on your image.
Zip´s (.zip) you can flash with your current recovery direct on your phone, and tar files (.tar) or the unpacked images (.img) you have to flash with odin or something similar from your computer.
Regards.

The developer is aware of the problem and is looking to fix it in the next version.
It happens if all the required files are not in the same directory.
