Custom Recovery not working

While starting to upgrade from CM10 to CM10.2/10.3 on MB526, I flashed TWRP zip file downloaded from Team-win website.
steps:
1) downloaded recovery and copied to SDcard.
2) reboot into custom recovery (CWM)
3) Flash zip of TWRP recovery
Since than, I am getting black screen after clicking on custom recovery from Bootmenu.
Device is working fine,
but with no custom recovery, my hands are tied...
can't restore backup, can't flash rom or do anything..
tried installing zip from stock recovery.. Installation aborted appears
Is there any solution to get recovery working without starting from scratch (flashing SPF and 2ndinit, and so on.... )

I think stock recovery can't help you now, you should start from scratch...
It isn't so hard, just takes time...
From CM10 to CM10.2, you don't need to change recovery, just install it. From CM10.2 to CM11 you should install update-recovery.zip, reboot, install CM11 + GApps.
Hope it helps... :highfive:

[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

Bumping this question to top
Please help

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
