anyone else having issues flashing CWM Touch from recovery? I can't get it to take even though it successfully completes.
You downloaded the d2spr version from download.clockworkmod.com?

It said that to me when trying to use the app to backup but I did it manualy and it worked fine.
Any advantage/disadvantage of flashing the new CWM through ROM Manager, or manually through ODIN? Btw, do you flash this through ODIN or (old) CWM since this is a .img file?
Just so ppl know, you can find all CWM Recoveries here:

Our device is d2spr
Towards the bottom you'll find the CWM Touch Recovery, I flashed the img using Mobile Odin and it's working fine

Ah... flashed it through mobile ODIN... thanks for the tip, Fergie!
No problem!
Another tip, backups made with the older CWM recovery (the unofficial one, the one you probably flashed after rooting initially), those older backups may not be compatible with the newer, official versions. I'm using the latest CWM Touch 5.8.4.6 and it seems to backup system and data differently

Can't seem to get the .img to flash when using mobile odin... I tried to click on Recovery then find the file, but it doesn't list the file, only the folders I have available. Am I doing something wrong?
If you downloaded the CWM img file rename it to just "recovery.img" then put it on the root of your SD
Open up Mobile Odin, Select "Open File", then select your recovery.img (I put it on Internal Storage)
After you select your recovery.img, before you select Flash Firmware, it should list the recovery.img in the recovery slot
Then you should be all set. Select Flash Firmware and after it flashes you should automatically be rebooted into recovery (I suggest making a backup ASAP just to be safe)
Phew... Glad to see there is a fix... I thought I was losing my freaking mind when I tried backup of my rom....

Mobile Odin didn't help me much... could I install the touch recovery.img through adb? dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 ?
The mobile Odin way did not work for me. After I flashed the img file, rebooted and tried to do a backup using Clockwork mod, the phone rebooted and gave me the same errors as posted above! ???Help???
EDIT: Duplicated this same error/issue on my second GS3...so it is definitely CWM related...also..cannot "see" or view the backups on the phone via the Rom Manager app either..very frustrating...hope those smarter than me can fix...I am willing to assist in any way... thanks

I flashed the new touch cwm in the unofficial recovery and it works, but doesn't stick, reverts back to the old recovery after a reboot???

This may be a dumb question but, couldn't we just install ROM Manager and flash the CWM recovery with it, like I used to do on my EVO 4G?
the team epic guys has set us up with a recovery that would stick cause the first samsung ota automatically reverted to their own recovery instead of cwm. maybe this issue is related. it just keeps overwriting what you flashed thinking that it's a bad (Samsung) recovery. don't know for sure as i haven't tried it yet.
that defeats the purpose of this new, "supported" recovery as i would like the option to flash things and manage backups via rom manager.
thats what i did.
