[HELP] Why is EZ Recovery not working

Ok so I'm stock rooted and I want to install CWM 6.0.1.0, so I downloaded Ez Recovery from the market and also the apk from the original post here on XDA. But it will not install CWM. I tried all the options. Recovery, Hybrid, and Stock, but when I flash them and it says it was installed successfully I press reboot it takes me to stock recovery every time.
Whats the problem???
Is it possible someone could provide me with a link to the recovery img file or tell me how to fix this problem?
Thanks

This may be obvious, but are you selecting reboot recovery from ez app menu?

Yes, when I flash my recovery I press reboot

Have you run the superuser app initially? I had similar behavior in which it said it flashed but still had stock recovery. The initial run of superuser got things going and when I ran ez recovery again it asked for root permissions and worked as expected...

I saw you post this in beans thread but I didn't have a fix but then I remembered how I fixed this on my phone. Uninstall ez recovery and reinstall from market. There was a problem with the version numbers or something and this fixed that problem for me

I was having the same issue as the OP and your advice did it for me! I went back to stock about 2 days ago and I was already getting bored with it.

Wondering if any of you guys have had the problem where it flashes the recovery successfully and you can reboot in CWM / TWRP just fine. Then once you get back into the system and try reboot recovery again, it goes straight to the stock recovery.
Is this normal? Do I have to flash the recover everytime?

There is something you need to do in recovery to make it persist, some option you need to select. I'm still not clear on what it is, because its been a long time since I used CWM. I hope someone will chime in with exactly what needs to be done to make it stick so I can be clear on it as well.

When you select reboot, it will tell you that it is reverting back to stock recovery unless you fix it. You scroll down and select yes and you are good to go.

This happened to me as well when I first rooted. I had to reboot a few times until the proper recovery booted. Now that I have flashed a Rom, CWM recovery boots properly every time.

Since you r on twrp.. go to wipe and wipe everything other than external SD.. probably you won't be able to wipe system don't worry... wipe everything and reinstall

A Superwipe will wipe everything. If you did a SW then reboot, you have no ROM to boot into.

I see .. what can i do know?

Super wipe is for noons who forget to wipe system or cache... you use it first then install the ROM... it should work fine... revolution HD never gave me any problems.. now I have moved on to JB ROMS...

What is the latest version of CWM?

Ive recently ran into a problem where every time I installed a rom my Wi-Fi doesn't work. No matter what do( wipe davlik, wipe cache, wipe device) nothing seems to work. Plus if I reboot in CWM it boots right back into cwm. I'm currently on v5.8.3.4

TF101 ROM flahing problems

Hi,
I originally rooted my transformer (successfully) with PERI.
I tried flashing a CM9 ROM to no avail (just stayed on the custom bootscreen.)
Tried a EOS3 rom, same issue.
tried jellybro (raymanfx) same problem.
Unrooted with easy flasher
rooted again (PERI) same tests, same results
Unrooted with easy flasher
Rooted again this time with debugfs
ROMS still dont get past the custom boot screen.
Am I missing a step. Do I have to unlock bootloader or something like that?

Try wiping data (factory reset), cache, dalvik cache and system.

Tried roming my HTC holiday too. I manage to riot successfully, but after flashing virtuous Inquisition using twrp, I get stuck on the custom boot animation.

Incomplete update.

Hi,
I just downloaded and installed the full update for my Shield Tablet ROW LTE and it seems incomplete. I did a full wipe (via TWRP) before installing and the install seemed to go OK, but when I reboot i get a screen like in the pic attached (sorry for poor quality). No nav bar at bottom, no notification bar, no wall paper, no lockscreen. Any ideas what could be the problem? I've reinstalled a few times but no luck.
Thanks for any help.

Are you sure you loaded the correct file?
Have you tried a factory reset?
Otherwise, try to clear cache in TWRP recovery and reinstall the rom?

Dude the SAME thing happened to me just today! Flashing old backups, and the OTA files, the problem persists.
Edit: Actually, I switched to CWM, and it worked just fine... I can only imagine it has something to do with /boot, which as far as I know you can't wipe in TWRP.

Which version of TWRP are you guys using? The one based on v.2.8.2.0 or v.2.8.5.0?
If v.2.8.5.0, try the v.2.8.2.0 instead as some have reported problems with v.2.8.5.0.

Nope I had the issue with 2.8.2.0, the 2.8.5.0 build doesn't even work for me haha.
I guess I'm sticking with CWM for now >.>

I'll try CWM using latest TWRP and continues to fail. I am definitely using the correct update zip.

Did factory reset, definitely correct update zip, reinstalled at least ten times, wiping cache etc. Nothing works. Will flash cwm later and try with that

OK, to update I tried CWM and both versions of TWRP to no avail. I had to download the full LTE RoW Recovery OS Image and flash it via fastboot and now all is well. Thanks for the comments and suggestions.
