Ty for the answer
Do i need to wipe dalvik cache when i flash the new rec?
Can i install cm11 from 2.7.0.0?

You don't need to wipe anything for the rec. Only roms require this.

[Q] [Help] Can't flash a recovery

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.

OH MY GOD I had Root Access set to Apps Only in Dev options. I feel like an idiot.
Thanks anyway Art, at least Flashify made me realise there was an issue with root.

[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

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.

From CM12.1 to CM13

Hi all
this summer i've rooted the g2 d802 with autorec i've installed the twrp 2.7 and installed cm12, when 12.1 come out i've just wiped all and flashed the new rom, now everything go fine, but i'd like to try the newer version ^^
i've read some stuff but i'm a newbie, so i'm pretty confused, correct me if i'm wrong
with autorec i've downgraded the bootloader to JB version so i cant install the CM13
i should:
1)update to the latest twrp BUMPED
2)than go to recovery and flash the lastes bootstack
3)reboot to recovery
4)flash the CM13
can i update the 2.7 twrp to the latest one if the older isnt bumped? and how can i update it? i just have to flash it from the older twrp or should i use flashify or something like that?
let me know if the procedure is correct thanks for the help
You need to update the bootloader & I recommend the latest TWRP. Then you're good to go. Going from Lollipop -> Marshmellow isn't as smooth as an incremental Lollipop -> Lollipop update.
Do create a TWRP image backup & titanium application backup beforehand.
I've tried Marshmellow, but AICP Lollipop has much better performance, more features, far more stable & comparable battery life when using servicely. It's still a work in progress.

First flash recovery once flashed it wont get deleted unless you change recovery or go back to stock. so blastagator latest recovery.. install blastagator then reboot into recovey from recovery. then flash bootstacks,again reboot to recovery from recovery and flash rom gapss. am not sure i dont think it matters wich recovery you use . as long a you have a custom recovery twrp or cwm you flash newst. and itll stay there unless you restore to stock then you loose recovery.
Sorry but i didnt understood, i already have the 2.7, when i go into recovery can i flash the blastagator or i have to flash something else before?

just flash balstagators twrp and you done. see on top part of screen theres the twrp version number. reboot into recovery so you will be on blastagators recovery.. and you done.. for bootstacks do the same reboot into recovery once you flashed boostacks once you in twrp and copy rom then flash

you can flash new twrp inside twrp. to take effect just dont reboot to system choose recovery and check that it says 2.8.7.3 i do it like that. but you say something about using older twrp that you cant install new, that i dont know. mine i used auto rec and gave me 2 earlier versions so i just flashed blastagator.. nothing can happen if you flash twrp inside twrp you just updating.. but reboo into recovery and make sure it says 2.8.7.3 on top and youre done.

Hello everyone,

I want so gift my S4 to a friend for christmas and wanna do a full wipe + new custom rom (currently sitting on Ressurection Remix Remix 5.5.5)
When i try to enter TWRP i get stuck at the teamwin screen
I've tried the following:
- flash older TWRP again via Odin
- install newest TWRP again via TWRP Manager App
- flashing Stock Recovery (could not even get into anything, bootloop)
Any suggetions how to solve this problem?
Sorry for any grammar/vocabulary mistakes. English is not my first language
Try flashing stock rom. That also includes the stock recovery. Then reflash twrp.

Unless you want to stay on the stock rom, or want to backup some apps, then no. Rooting will not be necessary if you plan on changing to a custom rom again.
rooted my s4 again,
twrp is finally working
but i cant flash the rom
Error executing updater binary in zip
anyone has an idea?
i allready downloaded the rom again but the zip is not broken
Are you using the latest version of twrp?
Yes 2.8.7.0

That error is caused because the recovery thinks the rom is not compatible with your phone.
Make sure your phone is compatible with the rom.
Or try these steps I found online:
1. Advance Wipe > Wipe cache, data, system, dalvik partitions.
2. Select ZIP file of your ROM and flash it.
3. You will get E:Error executing updater binary in zip (Don’t panic!)
4. Go to Reboot menu > Select Reboot to recovery.
5. After rebooting in recovery, flash the ZIP file of the ROM again WITHOUT WIPING.
Then it should work, according to the site I found it on.
The execution error indicates that the phone may not be supported by the ROM you're trying to flash..

Download cwm IMG file. Gobto twrp itself. There install go. U have to change zip file install to image file install option. Select that cwm IMG. Flash. Reboot to cwm. But this will happen for KitKat baserom. I think so....
So pls use base switcher of lollipop to KitKat then do dis
Bro i don't have Base roms. I used Nougat Roms.
