Are you trying to reboot from goomanager into recovery using the option in goomanager? Or are you trying to go into recovery using the physical buttons after powering off?

How are you installing via GooManager? Are you using the "InstallOpenRecoveryScript" option in the menu?
Is literally as easy as this usually: http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-root/how-to-install-twrp-on-rooted-galaxy-s4-using-goo-manager/

Hey guys I could really use some help...I have twrp recovery but unfortuunately when i try to flash stock recoveryy back, it will not change. I have tried fastboot, nexus toolkit by wug, flashify, image flash gui, etc. Do you guys have any suggestions? Thanks so much!
Are you still unlocked or did you relock?

I don't think twrp recovery has the option to restore recovery (or I might have missed it last time I looked)
Are you doing
fastboot flash recovery stock-recovery.img

update: after some testing It looks like the stock recovery file in the sticky above is actually twrp recovery...if someone can upload the real stock recovery file that would be great

I've found three recoveries floating around on the forum so far. Two are in this thread -- one is in the first (1st) post under the "recovery" subtitle and the second is in the seventh (7th) post.
The other one is in this post. You have to download the Nexus_7_Restore_F.zip file and unzip it. Once you do that you will find a recovery.img file in it.
Hope one of these works. My bet is the last one will at the very least. Let us know how it turns out for you.
Thank you so much I'll let you know! Ah it looks like the stock kernel is in the last one too that's good..hopefully sometime soon we can get factory images to make things easier haha

I tried flashing all of the above. With the third one (contained within the Nexus_7_Restore_F.zip), when I reboot to recovery, I get the Android with the red exclamation mark, no go. So I manually flashed TWRP back. It seems that until we get an official factory image from Google (if ever), we're stuck on TWRP. Unless there's something I haven't considered.

Unless I'm mistaken the Android with a red exclamation is what you should see if you have the stock recovery installed...which means it was successful. At that point there is some combination of buttons that must be pressed to restore the recovery but I don't remember what it is (I think it might be Vol up + Power but I don't know for certain so I wouldn't try that until someone else confirms it).

Oh right. I actually knew that too. Been so long since I had seen stock recovery.
Hello all, long time lurker, first time poster
I was wondering if there is currently a way to get a custom recovery on my phone without the use of a computer. I was able to root my phone using towel root, and first thing I did was install Rom Manager and start to make a nandroid backup until I got:
" RECOVERY BOOTING...
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit: recovery"
So I went into download mode, hit cancel and was able to boot into android but to this day I am unable to get into recovery, stock or custom. Due to my current complicated situation I do not have access to a computer and was hoping there was a work around to allow me to implement a custom recovery without a pc. I want to be able to make a nandroid backup, flash zips into the OS, and possibly experiment with other roms... I have tried looking into this myself but the only thing I came up with us an app called "Flashing Tool", though I don't know whether that will allow me to do what I want it to. Oh, and I don't care about Knox being flagged by the way.
So ladies and gentlemen of the Xda community, I beg for your assistance and would greatly appreciate any answers you can give me.
My phone is a T-Mobile Note 3, rooted stock Kit Kat rom, any other info needed just let me know.

That is the standard message while recovery is booting. How long did you wait?

After that message it just restarts into a boot loop showing that message over and over until I pull the battery, boot into download mode and then hit cancel so the phone boots up normally. Currently I do not have a recovery menu at all, not stock, and not custom.

Ok, installed Mobile Odin, first thing it said was to make sure I have the proper boot loader or it could result in a soft brick. Now it shows me the different partitions, one of them being "recovery"... Now what file exactly should I be using? Do I flash it to that partition or do I just use the" Open file" option? Can you guide me through it at all? I appreciate all your help thus far!
Edit: I believe I found the correct file to flash... Please correct me if I'm wrong but being that I have the T-Mobile version of the Note 3, my boot loader should not be locked right? So I should be able to flash this file *n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.7-kk(0125).tar* using mobile odin, and all should be good, right? I would post the link but I'm a new user and cant... But this is the description of the file: SM-N9005/SM-N900T/SM-N900P Qualcomm Note 3 – CWM Recovery -*Download*-*Credits*(Also works for T-Mobile/Sprint)

I have never personally used Mobile Odin, but you need to flash the recovery's tar file in the software.

You my dear friend, have my everlasting gratitude! I now have a working cwm recovery! Maybe I should make a quick guide to show how to root and flash custom recovery without a computer... Lord knows I could have used a guide like that. Thank you Feral....

Hello,
I've rooted my phone using the towelroot method and everything seems to be ok. I checked my root status and it came back clean. Got the SuperSU and installed the binary. Now the problem is, I have a bad recovery. Everytime I go to install a ROM from SD, or use ROM manager to install a rom, my phone boots into recovery but I get the "Could Not Boot Normal" - Odin Mode
Downloading... Do not turn off target! And it just hangs there. I'm able to reboot using vol down + home + power and cancelling the "download" - but there shouldn't be anything to download - the ROM is on my SD card. Does this mean that I have a curropted recovery? I currently have both ClockworkMod and TWRP installed. I can't seem to get rid of one or the other.
Any recommendations? I really want to throw a 4.4.3 Rom on this device.
Thanks in advance.
You cannot instal custom ROM from stock recovery.
You need to have custom recovery (CWM, TWRP...) but this step void knox to 0x1.

And if you install a custom recovery you will void your warranty......
EDIT sorry i did not read the last part of the reply of verny94
HI guys,
Thanks for the replies, though I'm not sure I understand them. I have two recoveries installed, according to Rom Manager - Clockworkd and TWRP. Are these the stock recoveries? I guess I thought that's all I needed. I'm not concerned about the warranty too much.

Thanks for the reply! When I go to ROM Manager and select "Reboot into Recovery" it asks if I want to boot into Clockworkmod. I hit yes, and the phone reboots, but then goes to the this (attached) page and stays there. Then I have to do Vol down Home Power to cancel the "download" to boot normally.
I had a Droid Eris and HTC Thunderbold that I successfully rooted back in their day - but this one click towelroot seems to have screwed me up a little - though to be fair, the majority of fault probably rests at my feet.

Do not use any Managers etc. They´ve made a lot of problems.
If you don´t have problem with warranty use CF-Auto-Root. Towelroot is good only for people who wants warranty.
CWM or TWRP flash via Odin and you will see

Great, thanks for the tip. Should I un-root the phone then? I have the option in the toolbox. Unroot then re-root using the Odin method?
Thanks again!

I'm currently having the same problem and my recovery mode always sends me to Odin mode. Were you able to fix it in any way?
I know i know i should't use the ota update having root + twrp + custom kernel.
But now i am stuck at a kind of bootloop always booting twrp. I had made a back up before even downloading ota update but recovering it does not fix the problem.
Any way to fix this ?
EDIT : UPDATE : bootloader -> start -> works!!
But now everytime it reboots it goes to recovery.
It shouldn't be a problem now since i can boot to android but if there is a way to switch default 'boot to recovery' to 'boot to android' i would be very glad to know.
