Hi! Im a noob with a couple of questions hope anyone can help me...
I was recently at 4.2.1 on my nexus 7 had twrp installed, and accidentally updated to stock 4.2.2 my cstom recovery wash flashed by a stock one and forced me to install another via fastboot, but this time i installed cwm then i decided to go back to twrp coZ i dont personally like cwm,. So here is my problem i used rom toolbox to reboot into recovery and it said that i have a cwm installed but when i rebooted i was on twrp, its confusing did i installed both? And made me decide to use rom manager it said that i have twrp and cwm already installed how can i uninstall cmw...
Hope u could help me.. Anyone?
ROM manager plays a clever trick where it temporarily replaces the recovery, even though it is not flashed into the recovery partition.
If you start the recovery from the bootloader, you'll see TWRP; and if you boot into recovery from ROM manager, you will (eventually) see the CWM recovery (you may see some graphics produced by TWRP first, though).
If you have a way (separate from ROM Manager) to boot from the OS into the recovery, you will get TWRP.

Hi thnx for the help, actualy i was able to boot into twrp already and i belive i flashed it completely, my only concern is did i overwrite the cwm in my rec partition? Or it is still there?

There can be only one bootable image in the recovery partition at a time.
If you boot from the bootloader into recovery, and you see TWRP... then that is what is flashed there.
If you want to see what I am talking about, go into ROM manager and select the menu item that causes a boot into recovery. What you will see (after a little bit) is the CWM U/I.
What is going on is that ROM manager boots whatever recovery is actually flashed in the recovery partition, and then immediately replaces /sbin/recovery with it's own version (CWM) and then kills & restarts that same program.
So - what you *see* is the CWM version of /shin/recovery - running on top of the kernel & ramdisk were provisioned by the whatever recovery was actually flashed to the recovery partition.
If you want to actually flash CWM to the recovery partition, ROM Manager has a menu item for that. I'm not sure what the exact wording is.
If you are confused by this, just read the first two sentences in this post.
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.
I have a BLU Life Pure XL 32 GB, and I want to install the TWRP custom recovery. I installed flashed it whith the RASHR tool but when i wanted to reboot the phone in recovery mode, the phone started in bootloader. I tried to flash the same file with flashify and even with fastboot, but always is the same result. And when I recover the stock recovery with flashify, it works perfectly. What can i do?
Good day guys, i just want to know if there's custom kernel w/ custom recovery like TWRP, philz or CWM? i'm planning to flash it. i manage to unlocked bootloader without affecting the camera but every time i trying to flash custom recovery it's always say failed, secure, unsigned ect..
i don't want to use the other method which is camera end up not working. so i'm planning to flash custom kernel with recovery? anyone can tell which custom kernel has it? thanks in advance
If i remember correctly, there isn't any custom kernel with recovery. Zenfone 5 uses seperate boot (kernel) partition & recovery partition.
stock recovery is replacing twrp recovery no matter how many times i flash it does the same . i am doing everything correctly the twrp is booting and i did a backup using it.
But after starting the system and booting to recovey .twrp is being replaced by stock recovery
