So I was able to root my phone and got clockworkmod recovery flashed to the phone, and it boots to it fine.
But something isn't working right.
I notice in clockworkmod rom manager it shows that I have both recovery ROMs installed. And I can try to have it install the TWRP, which it says it does successfully.
But it always boots to CWM recovery.
Any ideas??

Did you install TWRP using Goomanger?

Caution with the 3.0.0.5 latest CWM. I can't get into CWM recovery with that one; I had to downgrade back to 3.0.0.0. The phone just stalls at the Google screen on boot up with it.
Another person's reported the issue in another thread here. I emailed koush, but no response yet.
@nxt, you've tested 3.0.0.5 and it works as expected?

Not nxt, but I haven't had any issues with 3.0.0.5. Flashing, restoring, or anything at all.

Interesting. I wonder what the quirk is on mine and the other guy's. I haven't tried flashing it from fastboot, but selecting reboot to recovery from within ROM Mgr will not load recovery, it just hangs. No issues with 3.0.0.0.

Works fine for me normally. I personally don't use rom Manager to do anything though. I manually reboot into recovery and do recovery stuff. I have not tried selecting reboot to recovery via ROM Manager. That might be the issue.
I just finished rooting my wifes phone and had Rom Manager installed CWM yet when I reboot into recovery it starts 3e instead. I also downloaded SGS Tools but dont see a way in there to set the recovery to reboot into.

You need to install the modded 3e and then cwm recovery.
As per this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213 thanks.

I was able to install the hacked 3e recovery but when I go through Rom Manager and tell it to Flash CWM it says it does (tried it three times) yet when I reboot into recovery it still comes up as the 3e hacked.
I figured it out. The flashing was creating an update.zip that then had to be installed. All set with CWM.
Hi Guys,
I have installed paranoid android cm10 last night. I was good but gmail was force closing, so I tried to install latest version thru goo manager app. I have installed recovery which it told me to get it but once i reboot my phone into recovery its no more moving a head. all I see is teamwin wallpaper and system reboots... any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

It probably didn't flash a kexec recovery. Just boot into recovery and flash a non kexec ROM ...hopefully you have one sitting on your SD card. If not your have to get one there or dd a kexec recovery with adb and reboot with the ROM you currently have installed
I guess he can't even get into recovery, as he said all he sees is wallpaper. He used TWRP recovery, which is NOT Kexec enabled. In order to flash CM, you needed to flash CWM 6.0.1.0. Now, basically your only choice is to either adb the cwm recovery, or just reflash stock using odin (easier option), flash cwm, then reinstall CM.

It's odd his recovery won't open I wonder if goo flashed the incorrect version.
Hey all,
Is there anyway I can switch from my TRP recovery to a CWM recovery?
@RiceydDr0id.... Unless I'm missing something here, surely all you have to do is download the latest CWM Recovery then use TWRP to install it.
Just flash CWM as you flashed TWRP.

yeah, true... but mine is reverse.. i have a cwm and change it to TWRP.
i just normally flash it, then i go in recovery mode and shockingly its already TWRP, as i thought so, i need cwm to install TWRP....
just my experience...
Thanks guys/girls I just was not sure if I had to remove twrp before i used CWM il try it now.
just download the recovery from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563599&highlight=recovery
now flash the img file using fastboot using the command given
Hi guys, I flashed the latest factory image, then flashed the latest TWRP but can access it 1 out of 10 tries.. What am I doing wrong? Is it a faulty replacement phone? Never had this issue with my other nexus 5 (same recovery file but lollipop and not marshmallow) and now I have this problem.. Tried to riflashato the factory image 5 times, boot to recovery without installing but nothing changed.. Thanks in advance!
If you just just flashed TWRP, then booted into Android, then reboot into recovery.. Android will overwrite TWRP with the stock recovery.

Never happened before.. How can I prevent this? Sometimes I can't even boot to twrp after flashing and not rebooting to android..

This is not really a fix, since to use Flashify one needs to be rooted already.
What I did to work around this was reflash LMY48M. After reflashing that, fastboot correctly boots/flashes twrp.
I've read that the issue arises when trying to boot and/or flash twrp with MRA56K installed, AND the device is connected to USB.
Ok, i got some of problems here, i tryied to root my Nexus 5 with other Android 6 version, it was the first one launched after development version. Now i have MRA58K version.
Problem 1 : I have no stock recovery, i first rooted original version of Marshmallow with CWM and i soft bricked, so no backup, no factory images. Installed MRA58K and there is no stock recovery, thanks god i can use bootloader. I can install TWRP, but i want to install the old recovery, Tell me how to do it.
Problem 2: Actual version of Marshmallow ask me to install a patch, but when installing i got stuck in TWRP, it cant install it (yes, android was rooted, but i installed twrp before root, and the update were before it.)
Thanks.
You can flash a stock ROM using the flash-all file in a command prompt. This will install stock ROM with stock recovery. Make sure the phone has an unlocked bootloader and you should be fine.
Official OTA updates cannot be installed with a custom recovery.
I tryied 3 times to install OS with flash-all. All the problems start after i installed CWM and try to root the phone, but after that, i used a stock rom image that was different build than actually one.
I`m not sure yet who`s fault is.
Any ideas?
I don't recommend using CWM, only TWRP.
After you flash TWRP always boot into it, and since you're flashing a custom recovery I'm going to assume you don't care about OTA's, swipe to allow system to be mounted. TWRP will automatically patch the system to survive android trying to overwrite it. Reboot into TWRP a second time to be safe. TWRP should stick from now on until you flash over it or restore stock system partition.
Yes, now i have TWRP as recovery, but i want to replace it with stock recovery.
Problem is, when i upload stock recovery and try to boot in recovery mode, i got the green dead android with red triangle.
But after TWRP uploading and booting in recovery mode, TWRP is there..
I really don`t know what`s wrong.
Flash stock recovery, select recovery from the fastboot menu, hold the power button and press volume up button.
