you must root your phone before installing custom recovery

None of the other methods work?

Sorry, it's just that some tutorials are not complete at all.
To my understanding is that the device will recover the original recovery every reboot

I'm pretty sure TWRP has an option to keep it. I'm using cwm and I can reboot fine. Its when flashing new firmware it will replace your custom recovery. CWM asks if you would like to disable recovery flash and selecting Yes let's you keep your custom recovery!

the missing line in the script from your post was this
fastboot.exe boot cwm.img
edit: i haven't tried twrp yet
edit2: works for twrp too but don't need that line if coming from custom recovery already

[Q] FireFireFire or TWRP?

Hi,
What is the difference between FireFireFire and TWRP? Which one should I install for backups and recovery?
Thanks!
Both. FireFireFire is the way to get to twrp.
FireFireFire is the custom bootloader that allows one click function to get into recovery.
TWRP is the actual recovery. I recommend using CWM Recovery as TWRP has no support from the developers and is still buggy.

Thanks, I wasn't sure which one was the recommended recovery. I know that TeamWin did a great job with TWRP but stopped work on it. Anyway, I just installed smirkis' Gscript with the custom bootloader with new logo along with CWM Touch and it works great.

personally I prefer twrp. It's rather simple to get into, just hold the power button for a second or two when booting. I like the interface as well, it's very basic and I mean that in a good way. It's straightforward as well, easy to use.

not to start a war, but tthat ease of getting in has nothing to do with twrp. that's purely fff bootloader.

am using TWRP with no issues at all
I used TWRP for months and just stayed with it when CWM touch came out. Then it failed to give full backups three times. The restore would get halfway through system, and then revert to TWRP. When I compared size, the failed backup was much smaller. I keep two or three just for repetitive redundancy. So, went to DoomLord's CWM thanks to smirkis and his g-script, now I like it and the interface and program even better than TWRP. YMMV.

ROOTED 4.2.2 won't boot recovery

Just rooted my N7 on 4.2.2 but can't boot into recovery. I just get the "no command" screen. I flashed twrp with the Nexus Root Toolkit and everything seemed to go fine but I can't boot into recovery. Is there another way to flash a custom recover?
Thanks!

you probably booted, not flashed the recovery. fastboot flash it via fastboot with the instructions above. or, to make it even easier, download the goo manager app. you can flash twrp recovery with the app. open the app, press the settings option, press install openrecoveryscript, press yes, then let it do its thing.

Read the download instructions at the bottom. Have you done that step?
The stock recovery will be restored on boot otherwise. It's the same procedure for any recovery (CWM) not just TWRP.

CWM and TWRP

Hi,
It seems that I have CWM and recovery installed on my Nexus 4. I was on TWRP previously and switched to CWM, now it seems that it is stucked.
I erased recovery in command prompt and flash it with CWM after installing stock ROM but ROM Manager still detected TWRP. How do I get rid of TWRP?

try flashing stock recovery via adb
If you reboot into recovery does CWM come up or TWRP? If it's CWM then ignore ROM Manager and continue as normal

So you are suggesting that I erase and flash to stock recovery via adb and then flash custom recovery again?

CWM comes up as the recovery because it's the latest one I flash. I know it might now matter but this really bugs me.
Dunno why you're using ROM Manager anyway, pointless piece of software IMO. Just flash everything manually
Mine was gone when i unrooting the device

I was just checking out the app, don't really use it. That was when I saw two recoveries. I erased and flashed everything via adb previously. Just really wanna know the cause and how to get rid of it.

Is there a way just to unroot but keep my ROM, kernel and data intact?

That's normal. I have it too. Just choose cwm on recovery already installed and leave it like that.

I flashed Philz from inside TWRP. I would suggest following the instructions for TWRP then flashing Philz from there. I know that works.
Is it possible to flash Philz via flashify? And what is loki or lokied?

There is a step by step guide for TWRP. Philz is based on ClockworkMod Recovery.

Sorry i meant Phil'z CWM. So there's no way to flash Phil's CWM directly from stock recovery right?
recovery broken
hello,
i was hoping anyone knew how to fix my twrp recovery. i thought it was broken because it kept telling "backup failed" so i tried flashing it again using flashify... but now wen i need to boot into recovery the lg logo appears for about a second, some white letters pop up at the top left of the screen and then the screen goes black with the back light on... i hope i can fix this... i dont have custom recovery now... can anyone help me...:crying:

Not that I know of. The files in the OP are flashable from an open recovery. I had flashed TWRP before I found this. I would not recommend using something like flashify. Use the step by step guide using adb to flash TWRP. After that use TWRP to flash this. The backups for this are huge so having USB OTG support Is very useful.

[Q] CWM or TWRP?

Just wondering what recovery is best for our Note 3. I just rooted and installed TWRP but I cannot adb sideload for some reason. Are most people using TWRP or CWM?
If you are using CWM, how did you go about flashing it?
Thanks in advance.
