Hello , i have flashed CWM Recovery. Now i want to replace that with TWRP. How to do that ? Help ??
2 ways:
- Download a TWRP flashable .zip. While in recovery, wipe cache. Then flash .zip. Then go to "advanced options" in CWM and choose "reboot recovery"
- Download a TWRP recovery.img, and flash it through fastboot. Make sure you have fastboot and adb drivers. Connect phone to pc in fastboot mode. Open a CMD window from where you have your adb and fastboot files, as well as the recovery.img file. In the cmd window type "fastboot flash recovery _______.img" Where the blank spot is, is where you would put the name of your recovery .img file.
Hi,
Third way (Rooted Moto G)
Download TWRP Manager from Google Play and do installation of recovery with...worked perfectly for me
Keep in mind that CWM nandroid backups and TWRP backups aren't interchangeable.
OK
Simply download the twrp and flash it using the instructions on the developer's thread.
It will replace automatically.
Instead of rooting, installing CWM and then installing the ROM, it’s better to just:
• Copy the downloaded ROM to Internal Memory or SDCard (modem file also for L/S versions)
• Download universal fastboot/adb drivers (link provided)
• Turn Off the phone, Press VolUp+VolDown and press power until you are in the bootloader
• From there select Fastboot
• Browse for drivers when prompted and install them (you may have to forcefully install them)
• Download recovery (link provided) and run CWM 6.0.4.8.bat (recommended) or TWRP 2.8.6.0 (may not work well with stock based roms) and the phone should boot straight into recovery
• Factory Reset, Wipe Cache and Dalvik
• Formatting System, Data and Cache is up to you
• Install ZIP and when you are about to reboot it’ll ask to disable flash recovery, select NO to keep the stock recovery as you can boot into custom recovery directly anyways
• Stock recovery is a better option for factors resets and adds a little more security of data in case phone is lost/stolen
• Doesn’t matter if you are coming from AOSP or any other ROM. This ROM also installs Modem, Stock Recovery etc…
Enjoy the stock KitKat sweetness
NOTE: You may also try installing the ROM on L/S versions but make sure to install Modem file right after installing the ROM. Links for modem files are also provided here for convenience

NVidia Controller. This ROM does not include the support for such as I did not patch Frameworks Base.
HDMI AV Output (no support for audio for a while now)
Kodi (older than Jarvis 16beta4) and some games do not have touch
Netflix (and other apps that require WideVine) remain finicky

FAQ
Q: Instructions unclear, phone stuck in bootloop
A: Either do this:
Download this folder and use one of the two ".bat" files. Boot into Bootloader via Volume Down and Power Button. --
It will flash S048 Firmware of our Lenovo P2, after the flash-process is finished it will boot up on its own. Recommended: Do all the ota updates via ota app.
Or: Boot into bootloader, via adb cmd prompt use: fastboot boot lineagerecovery.img , then use reboot menu to reboot into twrp. Clean Wipe phone(Wipe system,data, cache and dalvik-cache Partitions) and try flashing your Rom etc. again.
Q: Instructions unclear, hardbricked my phone!!
A: Thaat shouldn't have happened. Did you screw up somewhere?...
Luckily you backed up your most important files!
There is an issue with the kernel source of the tablet. Sometimes, it gets stuck on recovery. But there is a workaround.1) Custom recovery with touch (TWRP and variants)
Open the terminal (located under Advanced -> Terminal)
Execute busybox reboot
If it fails, please ask your recovery's maintainer to add busybox support
That's it! You should be rebooting to system.
2) Custom recovery without proper touch (CWM and variants)No solution for these. Flash TWRP.
3) Stock recoveryYour system is corrupted and cannot boot into system. Flash stock ROM.
