I flashed recovery on my phone the first day i got it.. 2 years ago..
Now i want to play with it and flash some ROMs. However, i don't want to mess anything up and im sure my recovery isn't up to date. TWRP still the jump off?
How should i update recovery from whatever it is im running now?

Opinions on the best recovery vary, personally I use TWRP and have never had a problem. You can always install the latest version of TWRP by getting the GooManager app from the Play store, running it, and choosing "Flash ROMs" from the menu. The app will offer to find a recovery and install it, choose that and it will download the latest TWRP version and flash it for you.

So I recently rooted my G2 to remove the bloatware apps and maybe install CM 11. I downloaded ROM Manager and I tried to install the CWM recovery through there but it seems like it's not doing anything. Every time I press "Reboot into Recovery", it restarts into the stock recovery (I'm assuming). And this recovery doesn't have an option to install from .zip, which means I can't install the CWM recovery. It only has install from SD card, which doesn't have anything in it, install from cache and install from adb. I have CM 11 running on my nexus 4 ( I used the installer) and that has a CWM recovery so I know what it looks like.
Am I doing something wrong or missing a step? Is there another way to do it?
Thanks
what firmware does your phone currently have on it? That will determine what method you will need to use to get a recovery.

That was exactly what I needed. The issue with stock KitKat is the bootloader is locked and the way we got around it with JB has been patched. There are some amazing people though that found a way to downgrade the bootloader and kernel to get around this. You can find the very simple and easy to use app over here. I recently used it myself and it literally takes about 30 seconds to do and you will have TWRP 2.7 when its all done

I have stock 4.4.2 unrooted. How do I get custom recovery?

Root it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxdt0yWULrg
then install TWRP using this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hcxqn82X2zM
Just got a brand new TF700T today. I unlocked it and rooted it successfully. I am trying to instal TWRP so I can instal CM11 however I cannot make it happen the easy way. Goomanager is gone (what happened with that?) from the play store. Both Flashify and TWRP Manager can't find a recovery for the TF700T. What gives?
Firmware 10.6.1.14.4-20130329 if it matters. JB 4.2.1.
Id really like to avoid fastboot if I can.

really if you want to avoid fastboot, you should have left it locked ...
We can get you up and running, let me know

If you are still on stock the easiest way is to flash the latest Asus firmware.
Download your JB 4.2.2 SKU version from Asus support downloads site, unzip the downloaded file once resulting in another zip, and copy that second zip to the root of your internal SD.
The system should recognize the update file, pop up a notification about an update being available and flash it. If it doesn't, reboot.
You will loose root, but you don't need it to flash a custom rom following this:

Thanks to lj50036 I was able to get CM11 on there successfully. Everything is running so much better than it was with the stock rom. I really appreciate it!
The question it's simply and i'ts on title:
On My OPO i have flashed the TWRP 2.7.1.1 successfully about one month ago........ now i advice it's been released the 2.8.0.0 and i want try to update it:
- I have downloaded the http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/bacon/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.0-bacon.img it's no possibly to flash it or upgrade it directly from recovery right ?
On Official page i have looked there is a APP called TWRP Manager. I have installed this APP but when i launch it i obtain a warning that APP force me to install the "Busybox stericson". WTF it's that this busybox ??? It's a addons for my phone ??? I can install it... but i don't know if this APP make some problems whit CM11S and/or make unstable the stock rom......
Exist another method instead using a PC and ADB ??

Normally busybox is free on the playstore. Not sure how to explain but it adds the possibility to do some commands, in this case TWRP Manager.
But I read posts from 2 people that they had issues with installing CM11s from scratch so I would wait to see if it is ok to do so or wait for an update.
2.7.1.1 works do there is no rush to update.
The Busybox installer by stericson is from what I gather not dangerous and is useful for many apps, such as the TWRP Manager. But if you are unsure, I believe the app Flashify does not require Busybox to be installed (don't quote me on that), and it can be used to flash the new TWRP 2.8 image file. Search for Flashify in the Google Play store and install it. Then select "recovery image" and select the TWRP .img file. That worked for me when I tried yesterday, but I can't give you any guarantees.
ok boys... tomorrow i uninstall the official twrp manager and try to use this app........... i hope this not brick my opo

Do not use 2.8, it has issues with flashing kernels. It can cause bootloops. Just stick with 2.7.1.1, it's rock solid.

I used 2.8 and flashed a ROM and flashed multiple kernels without any problems.
As mentioned before, use Flashify. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
Thanks for all reply.... i have correctly updated my Recovery from 2.7.1.1 to this 2.8.0.0
For now i don't need to change nothing from STOCK ROM... i have already unlock the bootloader some month ago.. i have root permission and i have a good feedback whit the stock CM11S............
Otherwise if i have some problems i thinks i can re-download and i can reflash the 2.7.1.1 over this 2.8.0.0 whitout any problems rights ?

HI all, I have CM12 installed on my rooted phone and this morning when I switched it on, I got a message saying:
"WARNING: Update Cyanogen recovery is disabled. This may cause issues with updating your device. Please enable Update Cyanogen recovery in developer options"
Now, that option is off because I have my custom recovery TWRP installed on the phone, I'd like to keep that and I don't want to reinstall it after the update, so I believe I should ignore the message, but what I wanted to check with you guys is whether ignoring it will in fact cause any issues as this is the first time ever I've seen this message (this update by the way I think is the first one after installing CM12).
Any idea?
thanks
Disregard the message.
Thanks Heisenberg,
I did that but when the phone restarts trying to install the update, it goes straight into recovery mode (TWRP) and from there I don't think I can install the update, as none of the options seem to allow me to do so, see screenshot http://s23.postimg.org/6d6s7wyq3/IMG_20150625_135453.jpg
All right, I downloaded the zip from here http://cyanogen-ota-bacon.somee.com/ and tried to flash it from TWRP, but I get an error, screenshot here http://s28.postimg.org/zb06wtcpp/OTA_error.jpg, any idea why?
Same here, got an error in TWRP logs that prevented the update to install.
I'd like to avoid reflashing stock recovery only to install the update...
Heres the log: http://s29.postimg.org/njqqqlfc7/Screenshot_2015_06_25_08_49_42.png
Seems something related to outdated "build fingerprint" my device has currently 12.0-YNG1TAS17L
I guess the alternative would be to do it thru Cyanogen Recovery, but let's see what more knowledgeable members have to say as, like you, I don't want to have to reinstall TWRP and SU just for the sake of the update
Looks like you cant use the official update with TWRP. Either flash it via cyanogen recovery then flash back TWRP, or use a differnt zip for update not the official
Thanks for clarifying that davebugyi, then so be it, I'll do it thru cyanogen recovery and then reflash TWRP and probably SU as well
thanks

Is it safe to flash only that zip from TWRP over the stock Cyanogen OS?
Yes, but if I'm not mistaken, judging from the file size, that's the whole ROM

AH OK, sorry I thught you referred to the 500mb file
Apparently even by enabling cyanogen recovery, I still can't get the updated installed as the phone keeps rebooting in the TWRP recovery, which is very odd.
I'm having the same issue. Anyone?

Hello all,
I want to move from CM12 (Wilsons3q) to the latest MIUI 7 Global Stable. Im having a problem getting my phone recognized through the MiFlash program I originally used to get to CM12. I go into fastboot mode on the phone but the program does not recognize the phone. Ive tried this on 2 different computers. I installed the universal ADB drivers and still nothing. Does anyone know why the phone isnt recognized anymore?
I searched through the previous topics and found no answer to my question. Thanks guys
Solved.
Turns out all I had to do was flash the .zip from MIUI with TWRP recovery
It failed the first time so I did it a second time and it worked great.
Leaving this here for anyone else who may run into the same question/ problem

Oh I see. I didn't know you were using stock recovery. Im not sure completely, but im assuming that would be safe.
Edit: on second thought, maybe not. I dont have enough information about your situation, what ROM are you running now? im not sure how the stock recovery interacts with different ROMS
