[Q] TWRP or CWM recovery - Kindle Fire General

I have TWRP 2.0 on both my Kindle Fire and Evo 3D. I'm new to rooting and have yet to use CWM recovery. Can anyone explain what is the difference and why it would be better to use one over the other. Thanks.

use this to install cwm

You must use a 2.x version of recovery to restore a Froyo rom. 3.x is for Gingerbread.

resotre 2.x recovery
i already installed the gingerbread recovery like he did, how do i revert back?
Lots of choices. I recommend using Fastboot, but you could also reinstall CM7 and use ROM Manager. I suppose if you had the 2.x image handy on SD you could also flash it from Recovery. But I haven't bothered to check this last.

Thanks I was wondering about that, would the lower recoveries be located in the Rom manager older recoveries section?

Got my vega

Finally got my vega today should i install modded stock before in instal cyanogen or should i just install cyanogen can someone point me in correct direction to tutorials please

Go with the moddedstock as that has clockwork pre built and from there you can flash cyanogen or vegacomb etc using the clockwork recovery.
But first make sure you have the drivers sorted.
For a guide to flashing the moddedstock and driver installation see myadventvega.co.uk. For using clockwork then search xda and you will find multiple threads and replies explaining the steps.
Im cool with clockwrk etc as my hd is rooted. Iv downloaded modded stock and installed drivers from site is there a tut on flashing modded stock?

[Q] Do I have to update my my touch 4g to flash a rom?

Because I'm running on a rooted 2.2.1 phone. I followed gfree's ultimate root and now I want to flash a mod , so do I have to update my software?
Anyone ?...........
You can just start flashing. You're already set. Just make sure you boot into recovery and make nandroid of your current rom. Might want to update recovery through rom manager before anything though.

Recovery installation. Help!

Hello,
Is there any other option to flash recovery, beside the magldr method, like adb push or some app? I can't get my computer to work with the recovery installer for magldr, and for some reason I don't have a recovery in the phone although I have a custom Rom flashed on it. I have to add that all of that was done before I bought it and I don't really know much about flashing things on HD2 because it is different from other natively android devices. Please help

AFAIK 4EXTRecovery/ TWRP & other recoveries work the same way, give a the link below a try there are links to those recoveries & also how to use NativeSD.
Thanks, I'll give it a try

Yep, try what mengfei said, or alternatively you can flash cLK 1.5 which comes with CWM built in.

Need help installing CWMR

Been staring at the CWMR thread for a while and I consider myself pretty wellversed in most things when it comes to messing with my phone, but the instructions seem to be written in another language.
Can anyone break it down in simpler terms what one does to install CWM on a VS980?
Install flashify from market and install cwm from flashify
