Flashed kit kat rom, no recovery.

I flashed a kit kat ROM earlier to play around on, and when I was rebooting I accidentally hit the wrong button in cwm to not reflash recovery. Now I don't have recovery anymore, and I don't have access to a computer so I can flash the PA version of Kit Kat. ROM manager will not flash recovery for me. Is there anything I can do to get recovery without a computer?

you can flash the twrp recovery via the goo manager app.

Do you think flashing recovery through adb would work getting recovery?

well, if you have access to a computer use fastboot. you can probably flash via adb as well.

I wont have access to a computer for a few hours but I'm thinking that's my best bet, as I don't have root

you don't need root to fastboot either, you just need to boot into the bootloader. of course, and have the drivers installed in the computer. same for adb.

From the looks of it, my computer wont recognize fastboot commands in either OSX or Windows. I've installed the necessary files on both OS's and still nothing.

Well I was able to "flash" it, but it didn't actually flash. Still the dead android with the red triangle.
EDIT: I can get to the menu by pressing power+volume up. is there anything I can do there to help?

Did you try flashing a recovery from Recovery Tools aplication?
You will find it in Play store.

I was in the same situation you were.
Do these things:
1. Install the drivers for ur N4.i used Wug's toolkit ONLY TO INSTALL THE DRIVERS.
2. Next set up your fastboot.
3. Download the the latest CWM recovery (i think it was 6.0.4.3 touch).
4. "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
5. Voila! U got your recovery back.
6. (optional) Download the SuperSU 1.65 version and flash it via recovery.
Hit the thanks if i helped!

I've tried that. When after I flash in fastboot and hit start in the bootloader, it starts into android and not into recovery. Should I click recovery instead of start?

Well one would assume clicking on recovery would send the phone into recovery, instead of start. PS. When you see the Android with red icon, you are looking at the stock recovery itself, so no, you do have (stock) recovery on your phone.

I tried that, and it worked. However, the only thing I can flash is my backup. Attempting to flash a different rom, like the 4.4 PA doesn't flash it, just leaves that same 4.4 rom.

Thanks, I was used to using Goomanager since I had the Galaxy S3 ;D

[Q] Can I flash twrp via my current recovery? (Cwm)

Okay so today I ran into a problem trying to flash 3.99 rc2 paranoid android via clockworkmod I didn't see that flashing it using cwm would cause baseband issues and now I have to flash the 4.3 radio but apperantly I need twrp for that so since I do not have a computer and goomanager won't download the latest twrp I was wondering if I can just download the latest version of twrp and flash it using clockwork mod? I know it sounds weird haha flashing a recovery via a recovery but anyways a quick reply would be thankfull

i never use a pc for android, use recovery tools from the market and choose twrp, download and it will reboot to flash, thats it. very convenient

Use this app and choose your recovery tool that you want.
Recovery Tools. look for it in the market.
I'm using this tool and it's great.

Hey thanks guys that really helped! did and now have twrp although it didn't download the latest one it downloaded 2.6.3.0 but still works!

Its not weird man its a zip file you should download and flash it like you would flash anything else. Simple no need to over think it man just go to TWRP thread and download the zip file of the latest which is 2.6.3.3 I believe. Also the thread name has a paperclip at the end of it so click on it and you will see all attached files within the thread. There you will see all of the TWRP zips... Download latest one and thats it..
Also are you sure you had the latest CWm since I find it hard to believe there is a version that wont work

Yes I'm %100 positive I had latest and the only version of cwm that would not cause issues was the version right before the 6.0.4.3 which I believe is the number if I remember correctly but all is good now I used that app I was recommended and flashed twrp using that and flashed the radio and am now on beanstalk with no problems but I will flash the latest version of twrp now that I know I can haha thanks for the info on that

Use AutoRec. Why were you using methods that weren't tested/recommended?

[Q] what am I doing wrong? (trying to get the gpe rom working - i337)

I have an i337. Never had any OTAs. I was using a recovery that would 'auto-loki' so I never had to flash the lokidoki zip before.
I'm trying to install the latest GPE by Danvdh and I keep ending up booting into twrp(2.6.0.0).
I wipe all that one would normally wipe.
Then I flash the ROM.
The aroma installer starts, I've tried the googy kernal and (mostly) the stock kernal.
I uncheck the reboot now option at the end of the aroma installer to get back into twrp
I then flash the lokidoki zip.
I reboot and get kicked back into the recovery.
I'm thinking I may need a newer version of TWRP, but I'm not sure. I dont want to use odin to get back on jellybean just to update the recovery unless I know that's the issue.
the loki zip is ~10MB
Any info is much appreciated. I've been at this for hours.

You need a newer version of twrp. You don't need to use Odin. Look for the flashify app in the play store.

My phone is only booting into recovery though. I have the latest twrp image. Is there a way to flash it from within twrp?

If you can find a zip. I'd make one for you, they're easy once you know how, but I'm traveling on business and don't have access to a computer.
