Hello everyone! Think that I did something kinda stupid today..but not sure. I have installed cwm recovery (philz version, latest) but today I was transfering over a backup to my pc (I removed it from phone to pc), well that was what I thought..(the file was TWRP, since it was a twrp nandroid backup and I had twrp before cwm) so later, when I tried to go to recovery, I couldn't, I tried with FreeGee, but nothing happened...so does this mean that I have lost my recovery? I tried to put the files back on phone where they was but it doesn't seem like that have helped...
So any other methods to get into recovery mode? And have I lost it by deleting a twrp file containing a backup and a twrps. file on 2kb?
P.s when I look into the TWRP folder, I don't have the twrps file....is that the problem, and what is that file? Is it loki or something?
P.S 2: My phone is working fine..
Anyone?
If you're still rooted, you could install Goo Manager, which will allow you to install a recovery.

I do have root, and I am running cloudystock 1.2 (kitkat), but can I just install a recovery since I am on a stock kitkat rom? Think I have done it now.....
What ROM did you have when you first installed cwm?

I had stock 4.2.2 rom when I first installed recovery, but I overwrited my twrp recovery and installed cwm (that too on stock 4.2.2 rom
Try installing Quick Boot (free in the Play Store.) It provides an easy way to boot into recovery. This should show whether CWM or TWRP are still on your phone.

I flashed the att boot image to get twrp recovery using flashify. It worked great but now my question is if I delete flashify will it get rid of my twrp recovery? Since I now use quick boot that came with clean Rom xe 1.1 Also is the backup that I did in twrp or flashify. Sorry for the noob question but I appreciate the help greatly.

YOU should be fine....
Flashify just writes the partition. The backup was in TWRP. To confirm, check /sdcard/TWRP/Backups/ to find your backup. You can safely delete Flashify and use whatever means you'd like to boot into recovery.
Deleting Flashify shouldn't cause any problems for TWRP.
Which custom recovery is best for our g2? Philz, TWRP or CWM?

I flashed Philz from inside TWRP. I would suggest following the instructions for TWRP then flashing Philz from there. I know that works.
Is it possible to flash Philz via flashify? And what is loki or lokied?

There is a step by step guide for TWRP. Philz is based on ClockworkMod Recovery.

Not that I know of. The files in the OP are flashable from an open recovery. I had flashed TWRP before I found this. I would not recommend using something like flashify. Use the step by step guide using adb to flash TWRP. After that use TWRP to flash this. The backups for this are huge so having USB OTG support Is very useful.

Do i need TWRP recovery to flash SplitView ported from LG Flex or i can simply flash it via stock recovery? If i install TWRP recovery, can i go back COMPLETELY later to the stock?
You can't flash any zips without custom recovery, so yes you need to flash twrp. Also to get back stock it should be as easy as flashing a kdz file

thank you, but how ? should i make backup about the recovery before installing TWRP?
You should be fine by just flashing twrp, no need for backup
You just need a custom recovery like cwm or twrp
I have an international LG G2. I'm trying to update it to CM 11, but my CWM recovery is version 6.0.4.0 and I need 6.0.4.4. I tried updating through ROM Manager, but every time I boot into CWM, it's still version 6.0.4.0. I tried to use ROM Installer, but came across an error. I tried using Flashify to update CWM by manually downloading the CWM recovery image online, but also came across an error. Would really like to fix this problem.
I'm also having this issue on the ATT model, with the "6.0.4.5 CWM-based recovery" that came with Freegee. Trying to get the legit CWM 6.0.4.4 to flash and I can't do it.
Grab the zip file. Boot into recovery and install the zip. Never user rom manager ut doesn't work well with this phone

Zip file? I can only find the img files on CWM's official website. I tried to use Flashify to install that, but when trying to boot into recovery, the phone got stuck at bootup and I had to hard reset it and it went back to normal with the recovery still at 6.0.4.0 unfortunately.
Been using Phil's recovery lately it is built off of cwm . http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d800

I was running (and am after the restore) Android 4.3.1 slimBean jflteatt build.2official.
So my friend convinced me to try CM12 lolipop nightly.
I made a backup wiped everything and installed CM12 and the gapps.
upon boot after the instalation all the play services were crashing so we reinstalled CM 12 but without GAPPS and all was fine.
BUT now i CAN"T reboot my phone. Regardless of ROM (except stock) the att galaxy s4 gets stuck on the boot splash screen (the screen before the boot screen) The screen it gets stuck on looks like this: http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/8910/20120813002112.jpg
The screen used to look like this: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aCD7kATq-to/UaIBfYW5oKI/AAAAAAAAO88/ShlHR6459kk/s1600/boots4.gif
I have tried restoring and installing a clean ROM but that did not solve my problem. Only way for me to restore is to wipe everything, then format the data and the restore. I restored to stock TW MDL via a TWRP backup i have.
I am running TWRP 2.5.0.1 (I think). I am currently using the SlimRoms 3.4.0 kernal. I am rooted according to root checker.
Can someone please help me solve the reboot problem? (Could it have anything to do with Xposed?)
I would update twrp and try again. You have an old version.

thank you for your reply.

Flashing roms in an old version of twrp won't work. If your rooted, which I assume you are, get flashify forum the play store. Then download the latest twrp.img and flash it in flashify. http://dl.twrp.me/jflteatt/ The link is for the at&t s4, if you have a different variant you'll need a different image.

If you want cm12 download the zip and gapps and flash those in twrp. Do the default wipe in twrp first. Note, it will wipe your apps but if you have had Google backup your device it will restore them.

I don't wan't CM12 at this moment. I just need to have old SlimRom working without the reboot issue. too much business related data there at the moment. So should i reinstall slimRom and the restore that data maybe?
Could it be the slimKernal? Ive had the problem where it gets stuck at that screen for a long time now but id just do a batery pull and turn it on and it would work after 2-3 tries.
