OK. Tried to install CM11 on my phone today. Stupidly tried with ROM manager. The flash failed. I tried to go back to recovery but each time I boot to recovery CWM tries to flash the same ROM. So I couldn't get back into cwm to nandroid restore. Tried re-flashed cwm with Odin but still would try to install the ROM at recovery. Had to flash twrp clear everything re-flash my original ROM and titanium backup restore. Any ideas how I can stop cwm from trying to re-flash the problem ROM if I go back to cwm recovery??

Hi,
What phone variant do you have?
i9505 or i9505G?
Maybe you can find where the recovery script is located that CWM is trying to open? Then delete that file so CWM won't be able to take orders from it.

It's the i9505 but with the Google version of 4.4.2

That's what I was guessing but have no idea where this is stored. It's pretty low level so I'd be surprised if it was file based.

Does installing a rom from CWM take ages?
I have tried to install a couple now and they seem to stop at the GT-I9505 screen?
I am installing from ext sd-card

Hi
Yes - used the wipe option inside CWM
It may have been a problem with the download file - will retry
Have you deleted the ROM or any files that CWM can reference?

I have a retail XT907 on 4.1.2 that I got rooted, unlocked and twrp installed
I want to try the Energy rom and have it downloaded.
Where do I place the zip on the phone to install it in recovery?
I have backed up my system to the sd
Do I need to partition my phone? How to do it?
Can I instal the rom on my phone running 4.1.2?
Thanks

How do I flash safestrap? I currently have TWRP.
I downloaded safestrap.md5 but do I flash it through TWRP or rename .apk?

safestrap.md5 is NOT the flashable/installable file. You want the .apk file.
And why can you not install Eclipse on CWM or TWRP?
I got energy Rom to flash just fine on twrp

TWRP would not allow me to create a partition.
I renamed the md5 to apk and installed it just fine, but now I have 2 recoveries
Installed the Energy ROM and its awesome but camera app fc every time :crying:
I want to try the PAC rom next.
To do so I assume I need to delete the current partition where I have the Energy ROM installed?
Can I install the PAC rom on the stock ROM slot?
If so how do I get rid of safestrap and keep only TWRP?
Thanks to the Razr M community for all the help, I only had Sammy experience before getting the Razr M and been trying to learn it all over again

Camera will not work on energy if you install it on top of a 4.1.2 ROM.
SS can been cleanly uninstalled without impacting twrp.
I'm now on pacman, and it is great except for camcorder not working.
Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app
So if I erase system on twrp, restore to stock backup, all the changes made on ss and energy will be gone? Than just click flash and choose PAC.zip and gapps?

I'm not sure if wiping system/factory reset will undo the partitions made via SS - but otherwise, I think you are correct. you don't need both SS and TWRP going forward. however, the only reason to have SS is to install the awesome Energy ROM (although Brandon claims to get Energy installed via TWRP just fine - so you might want to check with him). however, that ROM is based on 4.1.1. all ROMs going forward will be flashable via TWRP.
if you don't mind camcorder not working, then go with PACman.
i would recommend once you download the 5/24 PACman ROm and GApps, go into TWRP, mount everything, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, factory reset, system wipe, mount everything again, install PACman ROM, install GApps, then reboot.
if you cannot deal with camcorder not working, then you can install the base 4.1.2 component, posted on droid-hive:
http://droid-hive.com/index.php?/topic/1767-98161-base-components/
go into TWRP, mount everything, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, factory reset, system wipe, mount everything again, install 4.1.2, then reboot
once you are at a good spot, then you can uninstall SS
Thanks, finally got PAC flashed and am loving it. Camcorder not a big deal for me as long as camera works.
Thanks again for the help

What are your steps for install? If it's happening across three ROMs, I would be willing to say it might be the install procedures. With most stock ROMs, you need to mount system. Most AOSP ROMs have a mount script included. Do your wipes, reboot recovery, and mount system. Then flash.

I mean that I get an error trying to flash any different recovery, and the methods I've tried to use fastboot to flash a new recovery (CWM) haven't worked.
I tried to use adb to push an alternate recovery to the correct folders in /boot, but that didn't work either
I really want to flash my cm11 build because I can't stand being stuck on my current sluggish rom.

The problem is that TWRP 2.3. It will not allow you to flash older zips that have old versions of update-binary in them. The solution is to find a newer zip that has the right updater-binary in it. I'll be right back with a link to one.

Don't think the md5 part matters. Sounds to me like you're not wiping completely (/system specifically). Follow these steps and you should be good to go..
Wipe dalvik cache
/system
/data
cache.
DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE
