CWM Recovery for 4.4.2 Kitkat? (Stock Rooted with ioroot25, D802)

So this afternoon I got my D802 rooted after stupidly updated my phone to 4.4.2 before rooting it. Anyway, so I found out that IOroot works! and so I rooted my phone and now I'm trying to get a backup of my ROM via CWM using Rom Manager. And.....for all I tried searching, I don't have a clue why I couldn't enter the CWM recovery mode. It always goes back to the Android's default recovery menu.
I suppose it's due to that I didn't flash CWM into the phone properly. How can I actually flash CWM into the phone? Or should I use TWRP instead? (Does it work with ROM Manager?)

you can't flash custom recovery on kitkat for now the only way is to downgrade and install a custom modified kitkat rom that supports recovery for d802 this is an option http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2681205

Updating TWRP and various Root questions

I've flashed via odin the TWRP recovery before I installed the v30 omega rom. 2 days ago I flashed the v31 and now the phone reboots randomly.I've tried to use logcat but i can't find the cause.In safe mode though the phone doesn't reboot So here is the deal:
I'll reflash the v31 since some features were NOT flashed like call button on contacts but i want to update the TWRP to its latest version....how?Through the TWRP manager app?Or flash it through odin?Flashing an updated version on an existing one recovery using odin won't be a problem right?Also,what jfltexx is the codename of my version right?(9505)
Also,a nandroid backup is basically an "image" of the phone right?Like a disk clone operation of acronis in windows....correct?
thanks for your time

So i assume that your question is does flashing TWRP got problem or not?
So you flash the latest version wont be any problem because i did it already
And nandroid backup is a total ROM for your current condition which mean is your OMEGA v31 so when anything goes wrong you
can go back to the start where you made the backup
Hope this will answer your question.

You can flash .tar file through odin or use goo manager
Or you can flash 2.7.0.1 as a zip file through your recovery from here ?

Cant access CWM anymore.

Tried to install CWM from rom manager 6.0.4.6 but i had 6.0.4.7.
This cus i have problem installing CM updates directly by pressing restart and install.
Efter this i was in a boot loop an could not access CWM only the DL mode. So i installed CWM from the original source i did the first time and then the boot was ok all the way but then tried PWR VOL+ HOME but then i gut in to the boot loop again untli i reinstalled the CWM tried once more but same result.
So now i have CWM installed and i can boot up but i cant access CWM to make backup or restore the previus one.
Any ideas of what could be wrong?

Wrong section

I upgraded to samsung stock kikat before and its non reversible as i got it does that matter?

to be frank, I never try to flash anything from ROM manager.
This tools I've left it very very long time ago.
Have you tried to reflash the KK stock firmware, since you said you are on KK already (to get your stock recovery first), make sure everything is ok. Then reflash the CWM through ODIN. Don't use ROM manager.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/guide-t2983873
but now since I have flashed CWM recovery all it tells me is Could not boot normal and goes back to download mode. Normal booting of the phone works fine.
Can anyone help with this ?
Thanks

Flash the latest version of TWRP (2.8.5).

how did you install cwm? Try using twrp flash it using pc odin.

Thanks for getting back to my guys.
I eventually flashed TW on and it worked then tried using ROM manager to put CWM on. All this got me was a recovery loop.
The problem I have is I have a CWM backup of my phone and want to restore it but cant using TW.
Any thoughts on how to get CWM working on the phone ?

is there any 2.8.5 TWRP for SM 9005?
I cant find any...

no custom recovery after flashing UHOJ4 bootloader

Hi,
I had several problems with custom rom, so I went back to stock ROM (latest MOB version) to start everything new.
Now I got the problem that it is not possible to flash CWM or TWRP again (tried different versions to flash with odin). I also tried to get back to UHOL2 bootloader and modem, bootloader is now UHOL2 but also custom recovery not working.
Any ideas how to get TWRP working again?
Thx
Jürgen

Can you root it?
Then you might be able to use flashify to flash the recovery.img

Uncheck auto-reboot before flashing TWRP trough Odin.

used CF Auto root - Phone Info says that root is working
which recovery.img should I try - CWM or TWRP doesn't matter for me

TWRP. CWM is outdated.

Uncheck auto-reboot before flashing TWRP trough Odin and removing battery was the solution!
Thx

Selecting auto reboot after flashing twrp causes the stock recovery to overwrite twrp and this is why the phone should be booted into twrp right after flashing.
