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/

[Q] Unable to enter ClockWorkMod

Hi, wanted to ask why am i unable to enter clockworkmod after updating to 4.1.1 official firmware. I've already uninstall and reinstall clockworkmod a few times and the problem is still there. Will appreciate the feedback in the forum. Thanks in advance.
Did you do this:

Just follow the below steps :
if you are still getting the stock recovery 3e follow these steps :
1. When flashing CWM through odin untick the "Auto Reboot" option within Odin.
2. Flash CWM.
3. When done , press power & volume up ( the one apart from power button ) until the Samsung logo appears, then leave both buttons.
4. CWM will appear.
5. Choose "Reboot System now "
6. You will get a new screen with an option mentioning something like " disable flash recovery , press it & reboot.
7. Now if you get back to pressing power & volume up you will have a permanent CWM.
Then you can install root through CWM.

You dont require CWM anymore to root, you can root using exynos exploit patch apk with just a click

Did the trick.

Loosing root after accessing fastboot.

Hi!
I'm totally new to Nexus 4. I'm on 4.3 and yesterday unlocked bootloader and rooted. Everything works.
Today I booted in fastboot just to see CWM. On exiting it warned me about possible root lost. I answered YES.
So now I lost root. I still have SuperSU but when I run it I get message that no binaries installed and SU can't install them and I need to reroot phone...
I tried to download chainfire 1.65 zip and flash it CWM - same result...
Any hints would be appreciated!

Ok, I'll try.
But am I accessing CWM properly? Do I have to go through fastboot?
My last phone had button combination to boot straight into recovery. I don't see such option in Nexus 4.
Thanks again!

Is there an option in your current ROM to reboot into recovery? If not, power off the device, then hold down the volume up-down and the power buttons. I tend to forget these button combinations, but I think this is the one that will lead you to fastboot. From there, navigate with the volume buttons and OK something with the power button.

Thanks for reply!
Sorry I forgot to give tech details: I run stock ROM + kernel, just rooted and unlocked fastboot.
So yes, this is the way I use to access recovery: through fastboot.
Last time while exiting CWM I selected NO to last question about trying to fix root and my root is still here

Glad to hear that. If it's OK, leave it that way, it won't cause any harm.
If you want to try TWRP, go to the Play Store and download the GooManager application. Grant it superuser permission, then hit the menu button at the upper-right side of the screen, right under the clock. From there, select "Install OpenRecoveryScript" and it will download and flash the latest TWRP on your device. After that, reboot to recovery to check if it's working.
I just went throught the same thing
I just unlocked my phone and flashed the latest CWM recovery and then the latest SuperSU zip; and all was fine. But whenever I was exiting from CWM recovery, it said "Possible root access loss" and if it can "fix it". Whenever I say "Yes" I lose root access; and when I select "No" the root privileges stayed. I could have lived with that but I thought screw this **** and flashed the TWRP recovery. This one doesn't say anything about losing access; all's cool.
But I still want to know what CWM was trying to do. It was trying to "fix" /system/bin/su and losing root access. Anybody?

Help installing custom recovery

I have a working ROM installed, a while back I tried to install multirom but it didn't work out, whenever I try to boot into recovery I get an AT&T has not authorized this software screen. Tried using goomanager and flashify but twrp will not reinstall. How do I get a good recovery back on the phone? I don't remember what I did the first time.

I believe you can try running CASUAL again if those aren't working.
It says that it is not for my device and fails.

I got the T-Mobile LYZ28J update. How to get off phone?

I just got the new T-Mobile update, but I haven't flashed it. How do I get it off the phone? I looked in /cache and /download and it's not in either. I am rooted so I have access to all the folders.
Thanks
Same here. Trying to figure out how to pull the OTA for you guys.
Have you guys tried this method? Starting from #6 on.

I used wugs to flash stock rom with no wipe. Then took the OTA. You can side load it as well. Then used wugs to re-root

There is now I had made one earlier today for my new N6Shamu rom which uses the LYZ28J as a base. I de-odexed it as well. While I was making the rom, I edited the kernel so it does not force encrypt. Try this flashable zip and let me know how you get on.

Cool! Trying it now.
*EDIT* I can simply extract the .img, rename it, and drop it into the toolkit, correct?

Not sure if these two posts are related and I'm probably doing something wrong trying to apply this update. I am stock rooted with the MultiROM version of TWRP 2.8.7. When I go into ADB Sideload, ADB loses the connection so I can't sideload. I just updated to Windows 10 Pro too, so I don't know if that is related either.
These are the commands I used after I connected my phone:
adb devices (works)
adb reboot recovery (works)
In TWRP - Advanced, then ADB Sideload (works)
Swipe to Start Sideload (connection lost)
Cancel (connection restored)
Any tips or help to get this installed would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same issue. I found this somewhere and it worked:
From a command prompt (administrator):
adb devices and be sure it shows your device serial number.
adb reboot recovery
Use the Power button and Volume + button to get past the green droid with the red sign.
Unplug the usb cord from the PC and then plug it back in.
In W10, go to Device Manager.
Find your phone under Other Devices with a Yellow !.
Right click on it and choose "Update Driver Software"
Choose "Browse my computer", then "Let me pick from a list."
If you see categories, select "Android Device", then select "Android ADB Interface".
The driver will install and adb sideload should proceed with the update.
What a PITA but it worked.
