Just wondering what recovery is best for our Note 3. I just rooted and installed TWRP but I cannot adb sideload for some reason. Are most people using TWRP or CWM?
If you are using CWM, how did you go about flashing it?
Thanks in advance.

What's the best method for removing clockwork recovery for twrp? I've heard twrp is better than the outdated clockwork recovery. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You don't remove the old recovery, you just flash a new recovery image. Do it via fastboot, or using the Goo Manager app (in the case of TWRP).
yes TWRP is definitely user friendly never looked back. Just flash it over that .img file.
Easiest way to do it download goo manager from playstore and apply it from there.
Just do it! You won't regret it.

Hi,
It seems that I have CWM and recovery installed on my Nexus 4. I was on TWRP previously and switched to CWM, now it seems that it is stucked.
I erased recovery in command prompt and flash it with CWM after installing stock ROM but ROM Manager still detected TWRP. How do I get rid of TWRP?

try flashing stock recovery via adb
If you reboot into recovery does CWM come up or TWRP? If it's CWM then ignore ROM Manager and continue as normal

So you are suggesting that I erase and flash to stock recovery via adb and then flash custom recovery again?

CWM comes up as the recovery because it's the latest one I flash. I know it might now matter but this really bugs me.
Dunno why you're using ROM Manager anyway, pointless piece of software IMO. Just flash everything manually
Mine was gone when i unrooting the device

I was just checking out the app, don't really use it. That was when I saw two recoveries. I erased and flashed everything via adb previously. Just really wanna know the cause and how to get rid of it.

Is there a way just to unroot but keep my ROM, kernel and data intact?

That's normal. I have it too. Just choose cwm on recovery already installed and leave it like that.

i tried installing cwm and twrp using fastboot.
everything is successful, but when i reboot to recovery it is still stock??
you must root your phone before installing custom recovery
None of the other methods work?

Sorry, it's just that some tutorials are not complete at all.
To my understanding is that the device will recover the original recovery every reboot

I'm pretty sure TWRP has an option to keep it. I'm using cwm and I can reboot fine. Its when flashing new firmware it will replace your custom recovery. CWM asks if you would like to disable recovery flash and selecting Yes let's you keep your custom recovery!

the missing line in the script from your post was this
fastboot.exe boot cwm.img
edit: i haven't tried twrp yet
edit2: works for twrp too but don't need that line if coming from custom recovery already

you can use twrp, just update to the newest version of twrp. you can flash recoveries via fastboot or an app called flashify.

You can flash s cwm touch zip file in twrp recovery and then reboot recovery and you will get the cwm touch recovery..:good:
Question - how did you get your first recovery on your phone. Its no different for the second one... You just have more choices on how to do it now thats all
its possible to flash within TWRP itself, but i chose to do it with fastbot command line and the recovery img. it just overwrites TWRP and you get CWM then
How did you guys managed to flash Phil's CWM? There were 3 TWRP thread guide for LG G2. What did you use and what method before flashing Phil's? I hope he'll release a flashable img for his CWM.
Use this one it super easy. After that flash Philz from TWRP.

Can you send the twrp link u just used? Thanks.
I flashed TWRP first, then from within there flashed Philz, and it works perfectly. Now I can store my backups using USB-OTG. Perfect!

I used option 1. Easier is not always better. Option 1 is the safest way.

I first downloaded and installed "Recovery Tools", from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334554
I then downloaded TWRP for my phone from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2501444. I only used this link to find TWRP
for my phone (Canadian D803). I didn't actually follow the directions on this page.
Once I had the TWRP .img file, I used Recovery Tools to flash TWRP.
I then downloaded PhilZ Touch Recovery from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554053
I booted into TWRP Recovery and from there, flashed PhilZ Recovery. From that point on, when I boot into recovery, I get into PhilZ instead of TWRP.
I still haven't figured out how to boot into recovery using the power/volume buttons. I've tried a few times and I can't get it to work. However, Recovery Tools has a reboot option, and that works great for now. Of course, if I get into trouble and can't access this app, that option is gone
*Edit* I finally learned how to boot into recovery using the power/volume buttons! :victory: I followed the instructions given by bodom_hc here:

How in TWRP did you flash the PhilZ Recovery. I have used the "Flash Zip" file option and when when I boot back into recovery I still get TWRP?

I did the same thing. I chose "Install" in TWRP and selected PhilZ recovery. After reboot, PhilZ just came up by default. I didn't do anything else myself - I'm pretty new to this. Did I just get lucky?
