[Q] Switching from CWM to TWRP recovery issues

Hi All,
So I have CM11 installed on my Note 3 with CWM 6.0.4.6 as my recovery. I want to now flash the TWRP recovery and replace CWM.
1) I download the official hlte twrp zip from twrp website
2) Go into cwm recovery and flash the twrp zip
3) But when I reboot, I see that I am still stuck with CWM and the TWRP recovery hasn't been installed
Can someone tell me if there is any step I am missing or what am I doing wrong? I just can't seem to get rid of CWM.
Is it because of CM11? I don't think so honestly (but I maybe wrong).
Thanks for any help that you can give

I flashed twrp 2.8.3 last time but when reboot recovery i'm still at 2.8.2. Then flashed latest 2.8.4 it's updated as it should be. Maybe corrupted zip unless you downloaded a few times then i'm not sure.

[Q] I have both TWRP and CWM recovery on S4

I have stock ROM Android version 4.4.2 and have rooted my device using CF-autoroot, I flashed the img file of CWM 6.0.3.2 using the app Flashify and was then asked "ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?" when rebooting to system and answered with "Yes - Disable recovery flash". When the device rebooted I was returned to CWM and everytime I reboot I return to CWM so I flashed TWRP using ODIN, yet when I reboot I return to CWM and can only reach TWRP if I click on Advanced>reboot to recovery.
What should I do?
Flash the whole stock firmware and start from beginning. When you have rooted again, flash cwm or twrp via odin.
^ What he said.
I think you messed up your bootloader. Had a similar issue on an Galaxy S Advance. Flashing a bootloader solved the issue

[Q] VS980 won't boot to recovery after stock ROM flash

I was running a Mahdi 4.4.4 ROM and saw that there was an updated stock ROM for the VS980 with new radios, so from TWRP 2.8.1.1 I flashed the ROM, radio, and bootstack from this. I can boot into Android and I have root, but I can't boot into TWRP; I get a boot certification error. I've tried reflashing TWRP 2.6.3.2, 2.8.5.0, and 2.8.5.1 via Flashify as well as 2.6.3.2 via TWRP Manager and no joy. How do I get custom recovery back?
EDIT: Fixed! I pulled the TWRP 2.8.1.1 recovery.img out of the 27A bootstack zip from above and used dd to put it where it's supposed to go (/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 is where recovery is located). All is well!

From CM12.1 to CM13

Hi all
this summer i've rooted the g2 d802 with autorec i've installed the twrp 2.7 and installed cm12, when 12.1 come out i've just wiped all and flashed the new rom, now everything go fine, but i'd like to try the newer version ^^
i've read some stuff but i'm a newbie, so i'm pretty confused, correct me if i'm wrong
with autorec i've downgraded the bootloader to JB version so i cant install the CM13
i should:
1)update to the latest twrp BUMPED
2)than go to recovery and flash the lastes bootstack
3)reboot to recovery
4)flash the CM13
can i update the 2.7 twrp to the latest one if the older isnt bumped? and how can i update it? i just have to flash it from the older twrp or should i use flashify or something like that?
let me know if the procedure is correct thanks for the help
You need to update the bootloader & I recommend the latest TWRP. Then you're good to go. Going from Lollipop -> Marshmellow isn't as smooth as an incremental Lollipop -> Lollipop update.
Do create a TWRP image backup & titanium application backup beforehand.
I've tried Marshmellow, but AICP Lollipop has much better performance, more features, far more stable & comparable battery life when using servicely. It's still a work in progress.

First flash recovery once flashed it wont get deleted unless you change recovery or go back to stock. so blastagator latest recovery.. install blastagator then reboot into recovey from recovery. then flash bootstacks,again reboot to recovery from recovery and flash rom gapss. am not sure i dont think it matters wich recovery you use . as long a you have a custom recovery twrp or cwm you flash newst. and itll stay there unless you restore to stock then you loose recovery.
Sorry but i didnt understood, i already have the 2.7, when i go into recovery can i flash the blastagator or i have to flash something else before?

just flash balstagators twrp and you done. see on top part of screen theres the twrp version number. reboot into recovery so you will be on blastagators recovery.. and you done.. for bootstacks do the same reboot into recovery once you flashed boostacks once you in twrp and copy rom then flash

you can flash new twrp inside twrp. to take effect just dont reboot to system choose recovery and check that it says 2.8.7.3 i do it like that. but you say something about using older twrp that you cant install new, that i dont know. mine i used auto rec and gave me 2 earlier versions so i just flashed blastagator.. nothing can happen if you flash twrp inside twrp you just updating.. but reboo into recovery and make sure it says 2.8.7.3 on top and youre done.

i've flashed the new twrp and is all ok, i've also flashed the D802 5.0.2 Bootstack with KitKat (Bump) bootloader
but i've read somewhere with kk bootloader the key for enter in recovery is power+vol down than vol- +vol up, but i still enter in recovery with the old combo, how can i verify my bootstack version? when i flashed it everything gone fine

Well Marshmallow would boot if it did.

twrp recovery dissapear after flashing CM11

I succesfully installed TWRP when phone had stock ROM.
I booted into it, and i flashed CM11
And after that, i couldn't go into TWRP anymore.
I tried flashing diffrent versions of TWRP, and even CWM but still it doesn't boot into recovery
I tried to reboot advanced options, to reboot into recovery from CM11, but still, it doesn't reboot into it, it just hangs at "rebooting to recovery"
I know key combinations, because i flashed CM11 via TWRP, but suddenly it dissapeared.
I don't want to reflash stock ROM, because of this, in fact, i just want to flash zip file, fde.ai , but recovery is not available, so i can't flash it.
I tried flashify, and rashr, they all don't do their job as adversited.
So my only fix is , to somehow bring back TWRP into which i can't boot
