Hi. Newbie here. I am new to custom ROMs and new to Android all together. I just installed CM on my Nexus 5 and really enjoyed it. Used wugfresh toolkit to root and then cm installer to get cm. I noticed after using cm installer I lost the ability to reboot to TWRP recovery. What's is the best way to go back so I can flash ROMs and kernels?
Fastboot flash a custom recovery and get rid of cm installer

hi all,i recently got cyanogen 9 on my galaxy s plus i9001,but when i go into rom manager &try to flash cwm.a list ofphones pops up,but not my one.any idea what i should do .any help on this matter would be gratefully recieved.thanks.
How did you install cm9? You obviously have root, I wouldn't play to much without a backup! Do you have latest cmw? If it wont work you could check out Amonra recovery, I use cmw so I can't tell you much about it. There are many threads here that will though.

its because rom manager does not support rom for our phone
You have to download a custom rom and flash it via odin or cwm
I've not been able to catch up to speed with the new custom roms and need some help from the community.
When I brought my UK WIFI Xoom (MZ604) back in Autumn 2011 I had it rooted, Clockwork recovery installed and a Tiamat custom rom on it. I switched it on earlier in the week and the boot screen just kept on loading in a cycle and wouldn't stop. I thought to save myself time I grab a new rom and install the ZIP as normal. Now the Xoom just goes in a cycle of the loading rom screen. I don't think I've bricked it because I'm able to get into the recovery mode.
I've been out of touch and need some clear guidance in what I need to do next.
1. All the ICS roms have ceased development? Reason why I ask is that its easier to 'recover' my Xoom with just install a new Rom over the old?
2. Jellybean requires additional steps to put the customer rom? Its not just a simple case of install new Rom over the old via clockwork.
EDIT: Just to note I'm still on HoneyComb so looking further I might need to put a new CWM on my tablet and reroot?
Thanks.
Question: As I've got CWM currently installed, if I perform flashing eos recovery, will this resolve my issues?
Can you download the stock firmware and flash it through fastboot and start from scratch?

I think I can revert it back to stock but I was hoping to do a quick win solution and download a rom and install. I might have to follow some guides tonight and get it up and running again.
Try installing rogue touch recovery and flashing a different rom.

So I intended to install this Custom Rom on my Captivate Glide but the only results I'm getting is my phone hanging on the roms splash screen. Di d i do something wrong? Here is a link to the custom rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2090822
How long is it stuck for? I ask because when I update my TF101, it hangs for quite a while, but does eventually go.

It's been hanging for like 20 minutes.
What steps did you follow to install?
It might be easiest to just wipe everything and start over.

i am currently on 4.4.2 with root and xposed framework already uninstalled from within the app, philz recovery mode.
when i try to install the 4.4.3 update (about 92 MB) it gives me an error on a specific apk (cannot remember exactly which one).
what are my best options? flash a stock 4.4.3 image and re root?
It's failing because of xposed. Try this

i am thinking and maybe the best for me is to make a fresh install (never did this before).
i have a couple of apps that i will need to have root and i also like keep the philz custom recovery
i never did this so i would like to know if it is safe to follow this guide:
How to flash a factory image | Return to stock | Unroot your Nexus 5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
i do not want to brick this. if i follow that, will i keep philz custom recovery? note that i am currently on 4.4.2.
and to get root again (after a fresh install of 4.4.3) will flash supersu.zip again be enough?
xposed is not needed for me and because of that i am havi all these troubles now, want to avoid that later.
edit: if i flash the file you posted, will it give me all the options i am asking right?

The link I gave you is the same as a clean install except you won't lose your data or custom recovery. You will lose root and will have to flash super su in your custom recovery. If you go with a complete clean install I'd use the link you posted. You'll have to flash a custom recovery via fastboot and then flash super su in it to root. My link will be simpler for you

I recently upgraded to 4.4.3 myself. Everything you need is in the stickies my friend. Flash the stock 4.4.2 factory ROM through philz recovery. When you upgrade to 4.4.3 you will lose your custom recovery but the boot loader should still be unlocked (mine was). Its okay, there are two options to get philz recovery back. You can use fast boot commands with the phone in the boot loader menu connected to your PC. The command itself and how to set up android SDK is in the sticky called unlocking boot loader, rooting and flashing ROM (or something like that lol). Option two is to use the app flashify available from the playstore. It will back up your custom recovery and you can use that to reflash it after you upgrade. I have not used it myself as I prefer to just use the simple fastboot commands in the cmd menu.
EDIT

Follow this tutorial on how to get your recovery back. Also the phone will no longer be rooted. There is a link in that tut to the superuser zip. Flash it through the custom recovery after you install it. You'll be rooted on 4.4.3 in less than 15 minutes from start to finish

That's nice. What's the price of beans in India?
hi i want to ask you guys around.
im using philz recovery on my device. then i flashed miui rom. it went okay and i just dont like the rom, so i kinda want to back to cm11s. however when i boot to recovery, it only shows cyanogenmod recovery. then i flash philz recovery again, but when i boot to recovery, still showing cyanogen recovery. is there someone can help me?
im kinda stuck in miui..........pls help
Are you flashing the recovery correctly? How are you flashing the recovery?
I've never used miui for opo but in developer options, is there a option for update cm recovery? If so, uncheck it.

yeah i flashed it correctly. im quite familiar with flashing stuff and all that. but this time it confuses me
there is not an option update cm recovery in miui in the developer option :'(
Check for a recovery back up script located in /system/ it should be called recovery from boot or something similar. Try using twrp as well. But either way, since you want to get back to cm 11s just flash the factory images which doesn't require a custom recovery.
