1. Some roms need CWM to be flashed
2. Sometimes you have a specific CWM/TWRP backup to restore
Which files should I keep from a ROM zip to have a flashable zip with only the recovery to flash as needed?
I am particularly intetested in CWM and TWRP from Quarx's CM10.

I haven't tried, but here's some new development.

You can apparently now have both TWRP and CWM and access them from bootmenu.

I have installed TWRP in my Defy with Quarx CM10. My phone would no longer boot into recovery but CM10 works just fine. How can I get back the old CWM recovery?
Yeah twrp doesn't work on this nightly, just copy the old recovery from the nightly zip from /system/bootmenu/recovery and replace corresponding folder on your phone.

I have a retail XT907 on 4.1.2 that I got rooted, unlocked and twrp installed
I want to try the Energy rom and have it downloaded.
Where do I place the zip on the phone to install it in recovery?
I have backed up my system to the sd
Do I need to partition my phone? How to do it?
Can I instal the rom on my phone running 4.1.2?
Thanks

How do I flash safestrap? I currently have TWRP.
I downloaded safestrap.md5 but do I flash it through TWRP or rename .apk?

and then this:

safestrap.md5 is NOT the flashable/installable file. You want the .apk file.
And why can you not install Eclipse on CWM or TWRP?
I got energy Rom to flash just fine on twrp

TWRP would not allow me to create a partition.
I renamed the md5 to apk and installed it just fine, but now I have 2 recoveries
Installed the Energy ROM and its awesome but camera app fc every time :crying:
I want to try the PAC rom next.
To do so I assume I need to delete the current partition where I have the Energy ROM installed?
Can I install the PAC rom on the stock ROM slot?
If so how do I get rid of safestrap and keep only TWRP?
Thanks to the Razr M community for all the help, I only had Sammy experience before getting the Razr M and been trying to learn it all over again

Camera will not work on energy if you install it on top of a 4.1.2 ROM.
SS can been cleanly uninstalled without impacting twrp.
I'm now on pacman, and it is great except for camcorder not working.

So if I erase system on twrp, restore to stock backup, all the changes made on ss and energy will be gone? Than just click flash and choose PAC.zip and gapps?

I'm not sure if wiping system/factory reset will undo the partitions made via SS - but otherwise, I think you are correct. you don't need both SS and TWRP going forward. however, the only reason to have SS is to install the awesome Energy ROM (although Brandon claims to get Energy installed via TWRP just fine - so you might want to check with him). however, that ROM is based on 4.1.1. all ROMs going forward will be flashable via TWRP.
if you don't mind camcorder not working, then go with PACman.
i would recommend once you download the 5/24 PACman ROm and GApps, go into TWRP, mount everything, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, factory reset, system wipe, mount everything again, install PACman ROM, install GApps, then reboot.
if you cannot deal with camcorder not working, then you can install the base 4.1.2 component, posted on droid-hive:
http://droid-hive.com/index.php?/topic/1767-98161-base-components/
go into TWRP, mount everything, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, factory reset, system wipe, mount everything again, install 4.1.2, then reboot
once you are at a good spot, then you can uninstall SS
Thanks, finally got PAC flashed and am loving it. Camcorder not a big deal for me as long as camera works.
Thanks again for the help

I was trying to install CWM for Galaxy Y(via .zip) which was successful but whenever I boots into recovery mode it boots to stock recovery rather than CWM. I have tried installing two CWM .zip files but both show same result.
P.S Can I flash Galaxy Gio's CWM on Galaxy Y?

why are you repeating the question it is already answered in your last post
anyways there are two types of cwm
temporary cwm - you have to flash it from stock recovery to get cwm ( the one you are using now)
permenant cwm - which replaces stock recovery
to get a permanent cwm you have to install a kernel which has an integrated cwm with it
Use only Galaxy y's CWM
ClockWorkMod Recovery is temperory if you flash it via stock.
Permanent CWM comes with the kernel. So flash a kernel that has CWM replacing stock recovery.
DONT FLASH CWM THAT WAS NOT MADE FOR YOUR DEVICE.
Dont use CWM of Galaxy Gio.
P.S. Dont repeat questions and spam the forum.
Do i need TWRP recovery to flash SplitView ported from LG Flex or i can simply flash it via stock recovery? If i install TWRP recovery, can i go back COMPLETELY later to the stock?
You can't flash any zips without custom recovery, so yes you need to flash twrp. Also to get back stock it should be as easy as flashing a kdz file

thank you, but how ? should i make backup about the recovery before installing TWRP?
You should be fine by just flashing twrp, no need for backup
You just need a custom recovery like cwm or twrp
Hello everyone! Think that I did something kinda stupid today..but not sure. I have installed cwm recovery (philz version, latest) but today I was transfering over a backup to my pc (I removed it from phone to pc), well that was what I thought..(the file was TWRP, since it was a twrp nandroid backup and I had twrp before cwm) so later, when I tried to go to recovery, I couldn't, I tried with FreeGee, but nothing happened...so does this mean that I have lost my recovery? I tried to put the files back on phone where they was but it doesn't seem like that have helped...
So any other methods to get into recovery mode? And have I lost it by deleting a twrp file containing a backup and a twrps. file on 2kb?
P.s when I look into the TWRP folder, I don't have the twrps file....is that the problem, and what is that file? Is it loki or something?
P.S 2: My phone is working fine..
Anyone?
If you're still rooted, you could install Goo Manager, which will allow you to install a recovery.

I do have root, and I am running cloudystock 1.2 (kitkat), but can I just install a recovery since I am on a stock kitkat rom? Think I have done it now.....
What ROM did you have when you first installed cwm?
Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app
I had stock 4.2.2 rom when I first installed recovery, but I overwrited my twrp recovery and installed cwm (that too on stock 4.2.2 rom
Try installing Quick Boot (free in the Play Store.) It provides an easy way to boot into recovery. This should show whether CWM or TWRP are still on your phone.
