[Q] TWRP vs CWM Recovery on VZW G2

Hey guys,
I currently am running Clean ROM on my Verizon G2, but saw that Team Gummy released a 4.4 ROM that I wanted to take for a spin. Anyway, in that OP it states that you can only flash that ROM from CWM and I currently have TWRP installed. So here is my question, is it possible to flash CWM from TWRP (like I used to on my GNEX) or do I need to remove TWRP and install CWM the way it's stated the in the development forum? Thanks!

**BUMP**
Can someone please chime in on this. I don't want to do something to brick my phone.

Yes, you can install cwm from twrp. Just find the version in a flashable zip format.

And after install reboot to recovery.

Or you can do it from flashify. You can switch back with it as well.

Stuck in bootloop

Hello,
I installed the 4.3 android unofficial CM 10.2 version successfully to my tablet.
I then realized that I did not install gapps, so when I flashed gaps it got stuck in boot loop.
I have tried formatting /system and reinstalling the rom but with no success.
If anyone could help me that would be great!

Sorry for the stupid question, but what do you mean by v9 boot loader?

U can't flash any custom Rom without it...unless its a tegra-owners rom in which case you'll get more help on their forum

Haha ofc!
But... I reinstalled my bootloader but I am still stuck on the bootloop after flashing the rom
UPDATE: Now I am stuck on the boot logo, so I got that going for me which is nice

Weird...check the Rom thread for similar issues andflash a different one to isolate the problem

Or boot into recovery and format data/media, you need to enable that option in mounts and storage. This always needs to be done when flashing from one rom to another. It will erase all data on yr tab

First off may I know what model phone you have? Second, you will have to root your phone. If on KitKat use towel root. Second use Autorec *FOR YOUR DEVICE MODEL*. After that is complete download a bumped twrp for you device frome here http://blastagator.ddns.net/twrp.html . Flash the zip via twrp. After you have completed those message me back.

All good, i installed bumped twrp and kk bootloader, until here all ok, i did a reboot on recovery mode, ok, then i installed cloudyg2 3.3 and again the phone didnt start after LG logo. I really dont know what im doing wrong (kk botloader was the correct one, D80010d)
I didnt found a kitkat rom (original) btw, but after install twpr and kk bootloader shouldn't it be fine?
Edit: I did the wipe.

You need to also install the KitKat baseband. Go to download the lollipop patch from here http://blastagator.ddns.net/d800_rom_patch.php before you do that make sure you do a full wipe and then install the kitkat baseband, then theROM, and then lollipop patch. After that You should have not have a problem

So let me get this straight: Root » TWPR » bumped TWPR » KK Bootloader »Kitkat rom (where i find please ? ) - Cloudy 3.3 » Lolipop.
Is this?
And again.. thank you.

Omit the KitKat Rom. Also after flashing cloudly g3 you have to install the lollipop patch by blastgator.

Flashing Rom's

Hi,
The samsung Galaxy s5 seems to be the hardest device to flash roms on compared to all the other android tablets and phones i've owned,
nothing seems to work properly aha. I tried installing an omega rom v1.8 which didn't work at all so i gave up and thought do they have a cyanogenmod ROM for Samsung Galaxy S5 and installed Lollipop (5.0) and i like it apart from no fingerprint scanner functionality which was lack of research on my behalf and the home button won't wake the screen up (have to use power button)
i thought why not try going to 6.0.x (Marshmallow) and i always get an error saying "Patching System Unconditionally" which could sit there for hours if i let it, im unsure if i have to update my bootloader? but it should be fine

Are you using full firmware tar downloads from sammobile.com

Sorry whats PB1
Also,
i just installed the stock Lollipop ROM to my phone so it wasn't as useful as a brick haha,
these are the steps ill do,
ill flash a custom recovery TWRP probably my favourite, and that will be done with odin
ill redownload CM13 and Gapps for it,
ill transfer them onto my SD card and ill boot into recovery,
ill then factory and wipe data and cache$
then ill flash the ROM and then Gapps
then Reboot
is this process fine do you think?

How did it go? Did it flash correctly

Sorry for the late reply but the flash went well only things I'm having trouble understanding is why NFC won't woek and battery life is terrible whether its a new battery. I can have blue tooth on and play 3 songs from 100% and battery goes to like 83 what is the cause

Hi!
I think you must provide more information to us in order to help you.
Tell us:
is your ROM stock running without problems?
Which ROM stock version is running without problems?
if you want to flash a MM custom ROM, you must flash first a stock MM ROM (ODIN flash can modify PIT, partitions size, etc)
I was running a LP ROM stock version, then try to flash RR MM and it wasn't able to run
I flashed by ODIN samsung stock MM, then flash RR MM and run without problems!

The only problem i encountered with the stock ROM was it was sluggish with the amount of crap i had on the phone (alot of pics and apps)
Lollipop Android 5.0 G900IDVU1BOJ1 For the Australian Samsung Galaxy s5 (Optus but unlocked from stock)
i initially did flash a stock ROM using Odin and then using TWRP i factory Reset, Dalvalik, Cache and internal storage.
and are you saying flash the 6.0 Stock on the phone then try to do the Cyanogen mod ROM afterwards??
Thanks heaps

I don't know much about the g900i is it basically a g900f that works in Australia?

pretty much so g900f roms would run on the g900i im sure. im able to install CM 13 its just running poor whether i do a dirty flash or a proper flash battery goes flat by just sitting their. was 100% this morning (9:30 AM) and its 11:30 AM and all ive done is listen to music and its at 44% and NFC wont work, this is with the latest cm 13 update too

To save battery life you can try using greenify LSpeed and kernel auditor apps all avaliable from Google play

what i was asking was does the N9005 have a specific recovery or it's all the same for all varients of the Note 3

Yes its specific to each model n9005 N900 etc as would be seen on each recovery thread .

Don't use cwm as it is very outdated. Use twrp instead.
