Can't restore from CWM Recovery - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have rooted and installed CWM Recovery on my i9505 with 4.3 official firmware but I can't seem to recover my backups from CWM. It seems to complete the recovery task but at the end, it shows like i've only flashed a new rom and the root and CWM gone. Any solutions?
Thanx.

Why don't you try Philz recovery.. it always work for me

Uninstall Philz Touch 5

Hi. How do I removed / uninstall Philz Touch 5 because I want to try TWRP 2.6.3.0. I had installed Goo Manager and installed TWRP but rebooting to Recovery, it will reboot to Philz TOuch's recovery.
Thank you.
flash this twrp 2.5.0.3 zip in recovery and then reboot recovery. see if it sticks. if it does, stay on that version. i've heard it works better than the newer releases. cheers
Just flash TWRP in your recovery

I did flash the 2.6.3.0 using Goo Manager but when in rebooted in REcovery it was still the Philz Touch that opened.
Thank you.

You can't use that to do it. You have to take that zip file that beerdroid posted and save it to your sd card. Save it in the root so it's easy to find. You have to boot into Philz and flash that zip.
I don't ever recommend the Goo Manager. There has been so many people that has had problems with it, especially after flashing a new ROM. It's not because it's a bad program, it's because sometimes when you flash a new ROM the prop changes so it tricks Goo Manager.

I'm experiencing the same thing. TWRP wasn't able to load the Cyanogenmod SNAPSHOT, but Philz did and I don't have WiFi just like when I loaded the unstable version so I'm trying to delete Philz and it won't go away. Why did my TWRP disappear? arghhh...... I wish I had a Nexus 5.

[Q] Having trouble with wipe to put on first rom

So i finally rooted and went into twrp. This is the first rom im installing. Ive done this whole root thing for a little over 4 years now.
I went to do a wipe, system, cache, dav....and its been stuck on "factory reset" for 10 mins now what do i do. did i do something wrong?
formatting cache using make_ext4s function" is what its saying
the phone shut of and i thought it was done for. It did reboot but nothing was wiped. am i doing something wrong here?
normally you just go into the twrp, slide to wipe everything, install rom, gapps, wipe cache and dav and reboot.

Which twrp are you using? 2.6.3.2 has slow wipes...really slow..... But you should wipe cache,davlik,system, and data then flash ROM and gapps if needed then wipe cache and davlik again then reboot!

Did you flash a ROM? After wiping....you could use koush universal drivers and sideload a ROM if your stuck in recovery.....sounds like you Dont have a rom

Crap guessing you don't have a backup......try using koush universal drivers to get your phone recognized...and use adb to sideload a ROM or use adb to push the philz cwm recovery zip to your recovery
---------- Post added at 05:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------
If you want to sideload a ROM its easy and I'll guide you through or you can push a zip with adb to your recovery

having weird recovery problems need help!

So yesterday I flashed TWRP instead of CWM and later on I tried to wipe the cache/dalvik but screwed up and accidentally ran a factory reset. No big deal I have a recovery I can use... well... TWRP can't use CWM recoveries. okay... we'll just flash CWM back on.
That's where the problem comes in no matter how many times or how I flash CWM it always goes into TWRP I've flashed using ODIN 3.07, 3.09 and using ROM manager on my phone.
What do I have to do to force CWM to flash?

If you search you will also find flashable tarp zips that can be flashed in recovery. You flash it in cwm recovery, reboot to recovery, and you will now have twrp
