[Q] VS980 won't boot to recovery after stock ROM flash - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was running a Mahdi 4.4.4 ROM and saw that there was an updated stock ROM for the VS980 with new radios, so from TWRP 2.8.1.1 I flashed the ROM, radio, and bootstack from this. I can boot into Android and I have root, but I can't boot into TWRP; I get a boot certification error. I've tried reflashing TWRP 2.6.3.2, 2.8.5.0, and 2.8.5.1 via Flashify as well as 2.6.3.2 via TWRP Manager and no joy. How do I get custom recovery back?
EDIT: Fixed! I pulled the TWRP 2.8.1.1 recovery.img out of the 27A bootstack zip from above and used dd to put it where it's supposed to go (/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 is where recovery is located). All is well!

[Q] Replace TWRP with latest ClockworkMod

Hi all,
Could not find anything related to this so will just ask.
I am currently on CarbonROM and have TWRP as my recovery. I have read that with Android 4.4, you will less problems flashing it over 4.3 if you are on CWM rather than TWRP.
So can I just flash the latest CWM over my current TWRP using the following command: fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.3-mako.img ?
Thank you in advance.
yes, you can just flash right over. or.. you can use the modified multirom version of twrp if you want to keep using twrp, kitkat flashes fine with it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2508840

If you have ADB access, you are in a good spot.
You'll have to ADB sidelaod a ROM, and flash it. shouldn't be hard to find info on.
Good luck.
congratulations for not saying your bricked.
you probably get an error when flashing right ?!
you need a newer version of twrp... get a flashable zip and update itself in twrp. then you will be able to flash roms.
Yep. darkobas is correct.
I missed your TWRP version. find 2.6.3.3 push it (I mistakenly said sideload above) and a ROM to your 'SDcard', then flash TWRP, restart to recovery, and flash ROM (and any other required packages (Gapps, system patch, etc).
adb push path/filename /sdcard/filename

Trouble changing recovery and ROM

Hey guys,
I'm having trouble updating both my recovery and flashing a new ROM.
My bootloader is unlocked and I'm rooted, currently have TWRP 2.8.7.0 and the final release of OxySlim 2.2.0 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/development/rom-oxyslim-t3278169
Whenever I flash a new recovery via adb/fastboot I just get stuck on the One+ bootscreen.
I have to reflash 2.8.7.0 to get access to recovery again.
I've been trying to move to Seraph's ParanoidAndroid here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/development/5-1-1-paranoid-android-5-1-t3205522
Or to Grarak's CM 13 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/orig-development/rom-official-cyanogenmod-13-t3392278
I've also tried flashing Seraph's HybridRecovery 3.4 with no luck.
Am I missing something? I flashed all the version of OxySlim with no problems.
Quick update.
I've flashed halogenOS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/development/rom-halogenos-oneplus-2-t3377799
It booted up but I couldn't select a language... strange.
So I tried to boot into recovery and it stuck on the boot screen.
I've now flashed the latest TWRP (3.0.2) and it's working. Currently doing a full wipe and trying halogenOS again.

Can't update TWRP to 3.0

Hi
I updated TWRP (from 2.8) to S3_h560_TWRP_3.0.2-0 .img in my Jiayu S3 Advanced and now I cant boot into recovery. After about 30 secounds my phone reboots. Android starts normally.
I flashed recovery with SPF Flash Tool.
What should I do to flash recovery to the newest TWRP?
Flash TWRP 3.1.1-0 .
The TWRP you flashed is probably buggy. But since we are now in TWRP 3.1.1-0 flash that.
