Hi, I'm trying to install TWRP recovery on my AT&T S4, since I need it to flash a Kit Kat ROM. Currently I'm using the CWM-based OUDHS recovery, but I can't seem to overwrite it with TWRP. I've tried installing it with GooManager and with the Casual tool, but, whenever I restart to recovery, I go back to OUDHS. I would try ODIN, but I'm on a mac, and I don't think there's a mac version available. Does anyone have any ideas?

I've got CWM recovery installed on my VZW G2 as I wanted to install the latest Gummy 4.4 based ROM. Now I'd like to switch back to TWRP. Can I just go into CWM and flash the TWRP2.6.3.3recovery.zip file? Or do I have to do something different? Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!
The way I've been doing it is to boot into whatever ROM I have installed, and do it from a terminal there (su and loki_flash the other recovery). I don't see why your method wouldn't work; mine might be a little safer since it doesn't modify the recovery while you're in recovery mode.

I switched from CWM to TWRP and just reflashed the zip. I am assuming recovery gets loaded into memory allowing you to overwrite the contents of the recovery partition.
Cool, cool!! I'm off to give it a try.......reflashing the zip file that is.
Thanks again guys!!
Flashing Recovery
I've gone back and forth between TWRP and Philz Touch by simply flashing the zip and rebooting recovery. Personally, I prefer Philz but it does not work well with the latest PA4
I flased CWM and it was fine, then I needed PhilZ for a rom and flashed it.
Since then I cant get into recovery, just black screen then boots normally.
What can I do besides flashing the original firmware?
Try reflashing recovery again?

ODIN flash TWRP custom recovery for your i9505 phone & black screens will be the thing of the past.
Here is the direct download link for the twrp recovery version 2.6.3.1 for the i9505 phone:

Good luck!
I have a D801 (T-Mobile). I rooted it a while back. I'm a bit of a noob. Recently, I wanted to flash KitKat. To do that, I had to flash a custom recovery. I installed TWRP as that was the one my instructions gave me. However, I am unable to flash anything. I cannot flash kitkat, cwm, stock, etc. I need any and all suggestions to at least flash stock recovery though I would really prefer to flash cwm.

Having a recovery that is up to date is key to flashing kitkat roms. I use Freegee. It's a free app in the Play Store. Once you install and run you'll have the option to install a recent twrp or cwm. You flash the recovery from the app, could not be easier. I recommend twrp 2.6.3.3 as I had issues with cwm 6.0.4.6 and it's also faster.
Make sure you're rooted before
Returned to Stock

I was rooted. Also, nothing seemed to recognize d801. They recognized the verizon, att, and the international but not t-mobile. I eventually just had to reinstall the stock rom as installing cwm over twrp froze my phone on the lg logo. Haven't gotten back around to rooting it again. When I do, I will definitely try that app.
Thank you

Thanks you for suggesting Freegee. I have been unable to flash anything for a while but after I downloaded Freegee and updated my version of TWRP I was able to flash the current version of PA.
Hi,
I currently have CWM 6.0.4.4 installed on my d802 but I can't update it.
I have tried flashing using this tool:
CWM 6.0.4.7
TWRP 2.7.0.0
CWM Touch 6.0.4.4
I also tried flashing with ROM Installer.
In every case, the flash seems to work fine, but I reboot to recovery and it's still CWM 6.0.4.4 and nothing has changed. I've tried factory reset, wiping cache (dalvik too), yet it didn't make a difference.
If it matters, I'm currently using CM 10.2-20131110-NIGHTLY-d802.
The point of this is because I get an error when I try to flash a kitkat rom (e.g. CM 11.2) and I assume I need to update recovery.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
