ClockworkMod/TWRP Recoveries
Here’s a list of working ClockworkMod or TWRP recoveries for Galaxy S4!
If using ODIN to install, download the TAR version.
If using existing CWM/TWRP recovery to install, download the ZIP version. (You can simply install with your current recovery and reboot recovery to update to latest version.)
For installing AOSP Android 4.4 KitKat custom ROM, you need CWM Recovery v6.0.4.3 or higher. If you have older version, use the ZIP file to update to the newer version!

[Q] Using the version of CWM from CWM's site?

I just finally rooted my N8013 (WiFi) and got ClockworkMod installed on it. I used the process here:
rootgalaxynote . com / galaxy-note-10-1-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-10-1-easiest-methodcwmmethod-2/
which installed HighOnAndroid's version of CWM (Shows as version 6.0.1.1).
I checked on CWM's site (www . clockworkmod . com / rommanager) and it says that we can run 6.0.3.0 (Touch).
Is it safe for me to download the version from CWM's site and flash it to my Note? And how would I flash a .img file from recovery?
Thanks.
Have a look in developement, I'm sure there would be a flashable zip file there. At least upgrade to 6.0.28 Touch....
Okay.
So I got CWM 6.0.2.8 (Darkman's) to flash and run fine, but I'm still curious about the version up on the clockworkMod website.
Has anyone tried it?

How to upgrade a Stock+Root+Custom_Recovery I9505G from 4.3 to 4.4 and keep all Data

If you have a Rooted+Custom recovery Galaxy S4 I9505G with 4.3 and you want to upgrade to 4.4 while keeping all your data untouched and restoring root +custom recovery, here is what you need to do.
You can't upgrade with OTA. root is ok but a custom recovery changes the partitions and will cause the upgrade to fail
To resolve this:
1. Download stock recovery and install it using ODIN
2. Download the OTA update to your device and use the stock recovery to upgrade (or use sideload from adb)
3. You have 4.4 and all your data.
4. You now don't have root so download SuperSU
5. You still don't have root so download Clockwork recovery for I9505
6. Fastboot boot the clockwork img
7. Flash the SuperSU
8. Reboot
9. Download SuperSU from the PlayStore
10 You have root!
11. Downlaod twrp openrecovery for I9505G
12. Enter download mode
13. Use odin to flash your new Recovery
14. Reboot
15. Enjoy your new 4.4 Stock+root+recoveryGalaxy S4 Google Edition + all your data !
i only picked this up fro this forum and used other users methods combined
so i can't post any links
you can pick up all the files needed at this Forum (use search)

You can skip half those steps and flash supersu with twrp at the end instead.

upgrade TWRP latest version(3.2.x) for galaxy s2 i9100

Hello Everyone
I have installed TWRP 3.1.0 on my galaxy s2 and also Lineage 14.1 . So far so good . It wasn't that hard to install custom rom and recovery but i got an issue which is upgrading TWRP 3.1.0 to the latest version 3.2.3 . I did everything correct but it just does not update to latest version. Once i installed the recovery image then rebooted , TWRP disappeared and stock recovery showed up. I also installed TRWP app (installed img and flash to recovery etc.. ) as well but nothing worked.
My question is does Galaxy s2 support latest TWRP or is there anything else that i should do ? Please if you can share any solution to solve this or any suggestion to update TWRP to latest version.
Thank you

Are you using iso-rec recovery?
There is a specific combination that is required to flash TWRP on your device.
I'm assuming that you have used the re-PIT created by @Lanchon, since you have LOS installed. The way the recovery is handled on your device is it is packaged into the kernel bundle, I believe, so it isn't flashed to the stock recovery partition, it is flashed in another location where the iso-rec recovery was originally flashed. When you tried to update your TWRP, you probably corrupted how that is structured and it reverted back to stock recovery instead of booting TWRP because, as far as I know, the stock recovery is still installed in its native recovery partition, even after flashing iso-rec recovery.

TWRP issue for galaxy s2 i9100
Hi Droidriven
Thank you very much for responding my message , i'm using iso-rec recovery 3.1.0 right now and i followed these steps to install it ;
1 - I9100 _1.5GB system _6gb data _ 512MB PRE-LOAD by gangster .pit
2 - IP KERNEL 14-03-CWM - FOR + ODIN ( via odin )
and then
lanchon 20160406 I9100 + twrp 3.1.0 .
I did everything correct with istallation of twrp 3.1.0 and LOS
I'm wondering how can i upgrade twrp 3.1.0 to 3.2.3 ?
I thought galaxy s2 does not support latest version of twrp recovery . TWRP 3.1.0 is the only latest version that works for galaxy s2. Is that correct or is there any other way to update twrp to latest version on galaxy s2 ? Because i installed twrp app , did everything ( flashing img rebooting etc. ) it did not update to latest version. Please can you tell me if you know how to upgrade to latest version . i'll be appreciated . Thanks again for responding .
Have a nice day.
Thank you

I don't think you can use the standard version of TWRP that would be downloaded from the TWRP website or via the TWRP Manager app. It has to a TWRP that has been made to be compatible with iso-rec recovery/kernel.
If you still have the file that you used to install iso-rec TWRP 3.1.0, maybe you can extract that file, remove the 3.1.0 .img and replace it with the latest TWRP.img then rezip the file and try flashing that.

Hi Droidriven
To be honest i've never thought about extracting file , removing the img and replacing with the latest one. That is a good idea actually . Maybe It could work . I'll try that.
Thank you so much for your quick replies. You have been great and helpful. I really appreciate that.
Thanks again
Have a nice day.
