I used the lokified tool to root my phone and did the CWM recovery not TWRP. After getting everything up and running with a rom I downloaded rom manager from the play store and flashed the update, is everything good with my phone or do I now have to reflash the original cwm from the tool. Thanks for any help.

You'll be fine with the current one.
Now that u have a working recovery there is a auto Loki recovery zip file u can flash using your current cwm recovery.
I use it and like it alot

Is it possible to go from Stock ROM to CyanogenMod via this path:
1. Using Universial Androot to root
2. Install RomManager from the market
3. Install Clockworkmod recovery 3.0.6 from Rom Manager
4. Install CyanogenMod from RomManager
That would be very easy compared to using adb. And it does not require a PC like the various one click root methods.
It should work?
I am asking because these optiions are already in the cyanogenmod wiki (some of them put there by me)
And if it works without problems, it should probably be the recommended update path.
I might try it out myself, but it requires me to go back to stock rom, which I haven't done before. If I understand correctly, it is not possible to flash a 1.6 ROM from a new Clockworkmod recovery, I would have to go back to maverick or amon ra recevery?
I am running Cyanogenmod nb 12, and clockworkmod recovery 3.0.6 at the moment.
to get back to stock rom, you just have to connect your phone to the PC, and double click the .exe of the ROM
I am not using windows, and do not have a rom exe file. I rooted and flashed my phone via adb on linux. I do have a nandroid backup of my stock room after it was rooted though.
Then flash back the old amonra recovery, before restoring your backup because it won t work with the latest clockworkmod

Ok thanks, I just heard from some one at cyanogen that using RomManager to flash the recorvery on a rooted stock rom won't work. So I guess the update path in the first post is not valid...

Uhm... I think not: is missing the "insmod tattoo-hack.ko" and it will fail the "remount" operation (and then the flash).
IMHO.

Yes, I think you are right. Stock rom needs the tattohack loaded before flashing a recovery.

Well, i had a CyanogenMod "installed" on my tatto, and i flashed it back to the stock 1.6 rom without installing anything, without problem.
i guess that's the question, isn't it?
I used the method you're saying, Androot+Flash Recovery from Rom Manager to the latest ClockworkMod and unfortunately it's not working.
I don't know if it is because the new clockworkmod but my advice is don't use this method. I posted some questions in other threads but nobody could help me.
I reflashed Clockwork several times even to 3.0.6, but the startup recovery menu still the same.
Hi all,
I saw somewhere that lfashing CWM through ROM manager is unstable.
is this still the case? or can I safely flash CWM from ROM manager and have it stick through reboots?
also, do I need to factory reset when flashing custom recovery for good measure?
(currently I'm rooted with busybox only, stock ROM)
thanks
I'm not sure if it still does a "fake flash" of recovery through Rom Manager (?) The best way to install a recovery is through fastboot.
You could also install TWRP just as easily with the Goo Manager app as an alternative.

I haven't had any problems installing it through ROM Manager. Installed an update to CWM about a month ago this way and it works fine. Also just reinstalled CWM this way last night after messing around going back to stock and it boots into recovery just fine. I don't flash custom ROM's just do backups and installed su so haven't thoroughly tested it out.
If I have CWM flashed, if I do an OTA update, would I lose recovery? or worse does it cause any conflicts?
thanks

You won't lose recovery. an ota will not complete without the stock recovery. You'd have to reinstall your stock recovery for an ota to be successful

It's easy enough to adb sideload an OTA zip via CWM and you have the option to retain root IIRC.
Just search for adb+sideload+OTA.
After having just recently rooted my phone using CF-Auto root (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlsO5o_-CI8), I am looking to flash a new ROM and hoping to get some clarification or confirmation on the flashing method I am planning to use. I want to try and flash either a Google edition (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341794) or Omega ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253528).
When attempting to flash I will be following these steps:
Perform a nandroid backup,
1. Downloading the .zip file and put it onto my external memory card.
2. Booting into PhilZ CWM recovery and wiping data/cache.
3. Perform a factory reset using CWM recovery. (does this delete all my apps?)
4. Flash the .zip file using CWM.
5. Reboot phone.
Are these the correct steps to take?
I keep reading something about bootloaders and how it can brick your phone if you do not unlock it, is this true? I am unsure as to whether or not I have unlocked it.
Furthermore, can i use titanium backup or another program to not lose my apps? I really would not like to reinstall every single app after flashing a new ROM.
I am currently using the GT-I9505 locked to Virgin in Australia.

1. If You have Just Rooted it using CF Root then u need to Install Recovery First. You Can Head to the Philz Recovery Forum and download the Tar file and flash Via ODIn.
And then You Can follow the Steps mentioned.

I believe I have downloaded CWM recovery, or which ever custom recovery this is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281367
I am still quite unsure on the bootloader, should I just not worry about this? Also, is there anyway to recover apps afterwards because I do not feel like downloading all my apps again.
Have been trying to update cwm through rom manager and gs4 flasher. Both apps succeed but when i boot into recovery its the same old version.

Try using Odin to flash the recovery.
Was hoping on going the quick route but this did the trick.
Hey I have this huge problem with TWRP. I wiped the usual files, and then tried to flash a rom. It said ERROR: failed to update binary zip or something like that. FYI, I installed Multi Boot and have two roms installed. I tried uninstalling the secondary rom and wiped the phone, but still no luck. I even used multiboot cleaner and it still says the samething. Help?

My Current recovery is TWRP 2.8.6.0
Use 2.8.7 version of twrp. Many ROMs need twrp.

I installed the new TWRP and it still doesn't work. This started to happened when I was creating a backup with my OTG then i canceled it, and did another backup in the internal storage of my phone.
You are using twrp 2.8.7?
