If we install cwm, IF twrp recovery comes to the nexus 7, will we be able to switch from cwm to twrp? If we made cmw permanent, could we switch to twrp recovery? Also, this is my first post on this form so I'd like to say hi to everyone.

When twrp makes its way onto the nexus 7, you will be able to switch to it. Just remember, nandroid backups are not compatible with twrp so don't forget to make new backups. (I had the unfortunate experience of having to switch between the two several times in order to transfer over all of my backups)
Thank you for the quick reply! So thank you for the advise.

I have my original OS backed up via the 1 click root method.
I have tried [ROM] Jr6 (JRO03D / 4.1.1): MCR - new: button mods, YouTube with preloading! by Paulobrien.
Tonight I flashed [ROM]| Glazed JellyBean|Version 1.1.2|Glazed Mods|Custom Animations|Speed| by Hyperrunner.
Now, I boot back into recovery and select the backup option, and when it is done, the file is only 20 megs in size, which does not seem right.
So can someone help or point me to a tutorial on how to back up my current rom Nandroid style so I can try out other ones and Nandroid back to ones I end up liking?
Thank you,

So I am at a loss understanding this. Maybe you or someone else can help me.
The first rom I mentioned in my OP says it needed CWM to install. Now I see other rom's that say TWRP recovery to install.
I have no idea on which route to go with doing all these.
Can anyone help me out here in better understanding on what I need to do here?
If I need to install TWRP, what do I need to do now since I have CWM installed to install TWRP?
Thank you,

cwm is buggy and twrp is more funtional, and works perfectly. cwm is just a popularity contest in all of android, but its not the best product.

So, at this point, how do I go about using TWRP then since I currently have CWM as the recovery?

flash it via fastboot http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/103
With my S3, I used CWM, and decided to go with TWRP on my S4, and just prefer the look and feel of CWM. So I'm looking at how to switch from TWRP to CWM, and can't find anything specific for the S4. Also, are the backups created specific to the custom recovery that created it? I made a nandroid backup with TWRP before flashing CM 10.1. If I wanted, could I flash that backup created with TWRP with CWM if I did switch? Thanks
Just odin CWM over top twrp. And I think the backups are compatible between the 2 recoveries.
Just flash CWM zip from TWRP.
If you are concerned about the compatibility of backups between CWM and TWRP you might want to try PhilZ touch CWM in the Original Development section.
Backups are not usually cross compatible AFAIK but you can use nandroid manager to convert them, although I've never tried it.

Thanks for the responses. But if the nandroid backups aren't cross compatible, I'll just stick with TWRP. There's nothing wrong with it, I just prefer the look and feel of CWM since it's what I'm use to.

I've had TWRP 2.6.0.0 lock up on me a few times in the past two days. Now that I'm trying on a few mods, It takes maybe 5 tries to get recovery to start. Using GooManager never works. That route just hangs on the splash page.
Should I consider a different version of TWRP, or just go with CWM? Whichever I choose, is there a file I can simply flash in recovery (assuming I can get into recovery just...one...more...time...please, oh, please)?
I am on US i337UCUAMDL, stock rooted ROM, AT&T if that matters.
There's a twrp 2.5.0.2 and a 2.6.3.0 flashable zip under my Sig in the general forum.

I need that link...I flashed Jeboo's CWM and did a backup. On the next boot, I got stuck in a boot loop. I know I have a TWRP backup of a good state, but can't restore that without a TWRP recovery. Can you give me the link so I can get this going again?

Thanks for the links.
I flashed 2.5.0.2 and tried to restore a backup that was made when I was on 2.6.0.0. I got a "Restore Failed" just after the data. I am wondering if it is because I went backwards in TWRP versions. I may have to flash a newer TWRP, I guess.

I had the same problem, you could keep trying to get this to work, or quit wasting time, and just odin back to stock, root, then install a recovery other than the newer twrp releases, they have issues, I was thru with all this in 1 hour, or keep getting bad flash messages....that is the easiest and quickest method.
And after you get that fixed, come take a look at Vision X, nice rom.
I have tinkered with your ROM. I did install it and make a few mods. Had issues with what kernel to pick, resolved apn issues. Was impressed enough to make a backup of it for later. I'm saying goodbye to my stock ROM, backing up data and configs for whatever ROM I go with. Yours is on the top of the list, but the kernel question lingers.
As for kernels, I want what will work on AT&T without having to jump through hoops.

I want to make a backup of the original kernel that came with my G2 D802 32GB just in case I need it in the future if I mess up something.
I read that flashify can make a backup of the kernel, but also read this program can brick the G2.
Any other ways to backup the kernel of my original stock LG rom?
And how to restore it in the future if I need to do so?
Thanks a lot!

If you're rooted and have flashed twrp recovery all you have to do is back up the boot partition then you have a back up all you need to do is if you want it back just boot into recovery and restore the boot partition it's not really having a flashable kernel zip but it's one way

¡Perfect! ¡Thanks a lot! :good:
EDIT:
Two questions though.
Using that method, if I restore the boot then I would lose my custom recovery right?
Also, I've read that doing backups through TWRP or CWM doesn't backup the kernel installed at that moment. Is this true? Because if it's true then doing that backup wouldn't make a backup of the kernel.
Thanks!

First question the answer is no you won't lose your recovery and to answer the second question I know with twrp it does back up the kernel I do it with every custom ROM I flash I'll back up its kernel before I install a custom one just so i have it and decide to go back to it now with cwm I'm not sure I only used cwm for a short period of time and wasn't happy with it I prefer twrp
I managed to root the Note 3 with CF- Root. Currently on 4.4.2 EE. That was easy. I then installed CWM and it advised I needed to update the app which I do. If I then ask it to make a back up it reboots in to recovery but does not appear to do anything? If I then reboot the device the App's all crash one at a time. The only way to resolve is to wipe/Factory reset.
I am not sure what I have done wrong here? This is not a boot loop....It just bombs the current rom.
Nothing? No advice? As this is not a boot loop searching has not really helped.

Who do you ask to make a backup ? Which app have you installed ? Cwm Rom manager ? Did you even install cwm recovery within the app ? If you updated the app, with that you didn't install the recovery.
You must power off your phone and reboot to recovery with the 3 button combo. Then, when in recovery, make a backup (if you have a custom recovery installed ?). Don't use any "boot to recovery and make a backup" apps or such, it can screw things up.
But my advice, install the latest twrp recovery. Definitely better.
Thankyou for taking the time to answer.
Yes I installed clockwork Mod. It said it was installing Cwm and offered the option to reboot and make a current backup. Which it then seems to fail. I see no manual option to make a back either when in the boot menu.
I'll try twerp and see what happens. I used to use Cwm a long time ago on a first gen galaxy and it was great. Something is just amiss this time.
Yeah, it didn't install cwm recovery, otherwise you would have the option to backup. Stock recovery doesn't have that option.
Last time i checked, this cwm manager wasn't the best option to manage your backups and restores. The 3 button combo to boot into recovery and then make a backup or restore is the way to go.
I too had problems with cwm in the past, but then i went for twrp and all is good. Plus, imo, it has a nicer touch interface.
