So, I just rooted my device, I'm quite the noob but have a question. How do I change my custom recovery?
Right now, I'm on TWRP custom recovery and want to change to Clockworkmod.
What I really want to do is to flash Cyanogenmod 10.1. I've heard that you have to be using Clockworkmod. Is that true?
So two questions really:
How do I change my custom recovery?
And do I need Clockworkmod to flash Cyanogenmod?
How did you changed the Custom recovery to TWRP? Did you use a toolkit? With a toolkit you can change the Custom recoverey.
I cannot say if CWM is recommended to CM, I think CM should run with TWRP.

I just followed QBKing's tutorial and TWRP was installed. And being the noob that I am, I just found out about GooManager, is it safe to flash the ROM from there? I don't want to screw up my device and brick it or something.
Clockworkmod is the only supported recovery for Cyanogenmod, as in the only recovery they recomend. However, any recovery will work. That being said the process is simple. You download your recovery of choice, here is TWRP http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/mako the boot your phone into fastboot mode "adb reboot bootloader" or power down and hold volume down and power. From there put your img file into the path of your fastboot binary or in other words put it in the same folder as fastboot. Then in terminal or CMD type "fastboot devices" and you should see a serial number. If you do then type "fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img" and you're good to go. Cheers mate if you have any questions feel free to PM me.

That covers it! Thanks man! Just one simple question, is it safe to use TWRP and use GooManager to flash Cyanogenmod? Or should I do it through the recovery?

CM 10.1 has automatic updating built in (CM updater; you can find it under Settings - About phone - CyanogenMod updates) so you don't really have to worry about GooManager. It should work fine with TWRP though.

Hey everyone.
I want to root 4.3 but I dont want to install CWM or TWR or another custom recovery. I want to keep stock recovery so I can directly update from Google when 4.4 is released.
Is there any way I can root without having a custom recovery?
Thanks for the help.

Yes, you can root without flashing a custom recovery. The first step is to obtain root access. The next step of installing a custom recovery (i.e. CWM or TWRP) is to flash ROMs and Kernels. You can just stop at ROOT.
FYI - There are stock and very close to stock ROMs available. Once Android 4.4 is released by Goggle, it does not take long (1-2 days) before people have the 4.4 available for flashing especially for the stock or close to stock ROMs. The more customized ROMs may take a little longer to have Android 4.4 ported into their ROMs.

The command posted "fastboot boot boot.img" would boot your device once into a custom recovery without actually installing the recovery. From there, you can use the one-time booted recovery to install a root zip.
Yes.
I'm unlocked and rooted on the latest 4.3. N10 is so fast I don't feel the need for a custom rom at this present time.
N-Cry tool kit was the easiest I tried.

First you need to download the latest supersu. Then you need to download a custom recovery from here: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.5-manta.img
Place it on your C: drive.
Then go to fastboot and type:
Fastboot boot recovery C:/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.5-manta.img
Then select recovery with the volume buttons and press the power button.
In recovery flash the latest supersu you downloaded.
! Wipe cache and dalvik cache !
Reboot.
You're now rooted and still have the stock recovery.

EDIT: I tried following your instructions but didnt manage to boot into the custom recovery. Maybe Im missing some step in cmd.

Doesn't that require you to unlock your bootloader first? (and therefore wipe everything from the N10)
I originally rooted my N10 (running 4.2.2) using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003938 without unlocking the bootloader first...
No idea if it works on 4.3 or not, though...

Will any of these methods work for the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4, or are there any other ways? I want to gain root and upgrade when updates come out as well, but we have no custom recovery yet for the Tab 4. I wonder if I could fast boot with the custom recovery for Tab 3 if it will work?

Try flashing with the app provided below, will do either a zip or a img file. Just make sure your new Recovery file has been Loki'd.

Make sure the recovery you flashed with flashify was a zip or img, make sure it was for your phones model, make sure its loki'd, or download Quickboot from the play store and tap recovery.

If you've got 3.2 installed already, if 3.3 is a zip, you should just be able to flash it. :good:
everything went fine until i typed adb reboot recovery
followed the guides on here to flash TWRP, finally got everything flashed through adb and when i went to the final step to reboot in to recovery it said "error : device not found" .... Is this normal? should i just unplug/replug and try the reboot bootloader command again? It said the image was loki verified and flashed succesfully, but when i typed in reboot recovery it said "error: device not found" any advice/help is much appreciated
Greetings,
First I'm sorry if this isn't the right thread for this, I'll gladly delete and change threads if need be.
Second, I just got an LG G2 (Verizon) today. It's great but I want more so I rooted it, confirmed that it's rooted. But that's all I can do. I can't install a recovery app on here to save my life. I tried downloading the VZW recovery img and pushing that with the loki_flash but I got two errors mainly.
Input file is not a valid loki image and Loki aboot does not match device. I'm trying to run either TWRP or CWM, anything really so I can flash a custom ROM on this bad boy.
If the image is not a valid loki image I'm assuming I don't have the right pair of files? (loki/recovery) and if the aboot image doesn't match the device I'm assuming that I don't have the right loki? Are these correct assumptions or am I making an ass out of just me???
My phone is rooted, ROM Manager says I have both TWRP AND CWM on my phone but if I try to boot into recovery via ROM Manager or adb I get a black screen and nothing more.
Does anyone have ANY insight at all into how I can go about the next step?

Follow the install instructions for TWRP 2.6.3.2. Then after you've confirmed you can boot the OS from the recovery, place the 2.6.3.3 on the root of your SD. Reboot into recovery and flash 2.6.3.3. Reboot into recovery again and you'll be good to go.
Version 2.6.3.2 won't flash 4.4 ROMs but 2.6.3.3 will flash 4.2 (I'm assuming), 4.3, and 4.4.
Download FreeGee app from the play store and install TWRP recovery from it. It was the only way I could install it on my LG G2.

I used RussGJohnson solution and it worked in a matter of seconds. Now I'm stuck though. I wiped everything and can boot into TWRP but I have no ability to sideload anything. I have all the latest LG drivers, even the lastest android sdk drivers, nothing is working. If I boot up normally the LG logo comes up and just sits there.
I can boot into recovery using the whole volume down + power button combo but then when I go to sideload my computer isn't seeing the device. I'm on a Win 8 machine using the stock cable. I've tried both USB 2 and 3 ports
It's done
Using RussGJohnson's suggestion worked great.
The issue I had with being unable to sideload a ROM wasn't resolved but I just used my Mac to do it instead. That worked just fine. Win8 couldn't recognize the device while in recovery. Go figure.
free gee very fast
Use Flashify u n00b.
Just an FYI. I have an unlocked bootloader and had a good working version of TWRP 2.7.0.0 I planned to reinstall after I took the OTA. I get no errors when I flash it; however, when I try to enter recovery, I can only get into the new stock recovery..

TWRP needs to be updated.
It's easier to flash SuperSU through recovery then to push it through ADB, but you must boot straight into recovery right after you flash it.
I dont know if you use fastboot or Mfastboot.

mfastboot flash recovery "recovery-name".img

THEN TYPE:

When you press enter, hold volume up to enter recovery and flash SuperSU.

Yes you need custom recovery.
Just download the TWRP 3.0.M2-0 and flash it via adb by using this command in cmd window -
fastboot flash recovery <filename.img>
Whereas, the <filename.img> is the filename of your twrp recovery which you will download.
For example -
If you have downloaded the custom recovery with the filename "twrp 3.0.x.x" then you have to type the following code -
fastboot flash recovery twrp 3.0.x.x.img
After flashing the twrp, now reboot to recovery.
Once you are in recovery, go to install section and locate the zip file (your black YouTube zip file), select it and then swipe to flash.
After flashing, just reboot the system. That's it.
