Always a good idea to update your recovery to the latest.
Root is IN the rom. I pretty much guarantee that any rom you flash via recovery will be pre-rooted.
If you're unsure of the processes for anything, have a read of all the sticky threads linked in my signature

Flash the latest twrp first, then pick a rom
Latest twrp - https://www.dropbox.com/s/05vh73mstsovz9j/twrp2801.zip?dl=0
Flash in recovery then reboot recovery to check version at the top

CWM is outdated. Use TWRP or Philz

Stock factory images aren't flashed in recovery.. That's why rootsu specifically said recovery

Personally, I've faced many issues with twrp in the past and ever since I've started using PhilzTouch (advanced version of cwm), I haven't looked back!

according to the official thread:
End Of Support
Quote:
Project Status: No Longer Updated
As I mentioned before, I have a lot of new important projects in my real life. I am very happy to abandon this project for real life alternatives.
CWM is a dead project for now, until some dev resurrects it. I was about to do, until these new projects came.
Current version will probably work a while for many devices. Some devices with new ROM installers could have issues. Just use TWRP or the CM Simple Recovery
If the current version works for you, there is no reason you don't use it though. No need to ***** in all threads because it doesn't work for you. Just move on to other alternatives.

but I see that it has been updated 2 days ago...

Philz is good and it works for now. I too had issues with TWRP on my S3, That's why I moved to Philz on that device and brought Philz to the N5.
We may see bug fixes with Philz if the device maintainers notice them. For example, the update 2 days ago was a bug I found and fixed. So if there is something broken, we may see fixes. New features - nope. So lets see what happens when L comes out with its default device encryption. I'm not jumping ship until I have to.

well, most recoveries arent going to be in a flash in recovery form. if its in a zip, you might have to extract it and use fastboot to flash the actual twrprecovery.img or you can use the flashify app(if you have root).

no, its 2.8 http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/205
anyways, im using an old one as well(2.6.something), and everything works fine.
rom and gapps. most roms will need the google apps to be flashed as well, since its illegal to include them in publically distributed custom roms.

the only reason why i havent flash a new rom again because the rom that im currently running is good doesnt really give problems like random reboots
the only thing is its an older version.
and its really tiring thing to start all over again.
anyways any good rom out there?
its close to stock rom with minor tweaks
im on purity rom btw 4.4.2

[Q] Wanna check Gapps and Paranoid Android versions match

Hi
I put my nexus 4 in an unrecoverable boot loop last week, couldn't get into bootloader OR recovery, I rooted and put Paranoid Android rom on it last month, been using it no problem until last week, wanted to install latest rom for the extra Halo features, so I factory rest phone and tried to flash it, kept failing, so I formatted partitions on phone, and tried again, flashed with latest PA rom and latest Gapps, then got the boot loop which I couldn't do anything with
getting a replacement from google this week, and want to root and rom it again, but want to double check the version I was flashing will work with each other so as not to boot loop it again
I flashed pa_grouper-3.57-06JUN2013-193501.zip and then flashed pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130719-signed.zip
Im assuming these are OK but wanted to double check just incase I should have used a different version of Gapps with this rom, as I said I flashed it a few weeks before with an earlier paranoid android rom version and Gapps version and all was fine for a few weeks until I tried to update it all

[Q] Move from 4.0.4 to 4.4

I am trying to get to kitkat on this damn phone and it just keeps bricking.
Does anyone know if i need to go through all the updates to get this to work?
maybe if you have a step by step that would be amazing.
Thank you
I assume you have a custom recovery installed, just make sure your recovery manager is up to date as some older versions of CWM will not flash 4.4 and same with TWRP. I used CWM touch v6.0.4.3.

There must be an order in which you have to apply updates.
Anyone have any clue on what that order is?

There is no such order. As long as your bootloader is unlocked and you are running an updated recovery you should be able to flash seamlessly between any ROM.
What 4.0.4 ROM are you currently running? And are you sure you're on the most recent CWM?
I think your firmware must be up to date as well. I can't remember what the latest is off the top of my head. I'll check.

RLS 16 to [Rom][d2vzw][Official][Kitkat - 4.4.2] - Gummy - Nightly's

I'm currently running Hyperdrive RLS 16 and want to know if it is possible to go to [Rom][d2vzw][Official][Kitkat - 4.4.2] - Gummy - Nightly's?
Do I just need to follow the instructions or is there more files I need to change within the phone? Basically, I want to know if it will be a simple transition.
Thank You!
:crying:
You should be just fine. Just install like any other ROMs. Don't forget to wipe Data. Make sure you update your recovery to the latest version first BEFORE FLASHING since gummy is Kitkat. This is very important.

I'm mistaken...badly. You need to be on TWRP 2.6.3.1 in order to flash any KitKat rom. That's what I'm on. KitKat roms will not flash on anything before TWRP 2.6.3.1.

Funny I had the same question..
I was going to pose the same question.. Ironically I'm on Hyperdrive RLS 16 also and am either going to the last carbon nightly or maybe something 4.4 ?
My question was do I need to flash the MF1 firmware, but I guess not ?
I loved carbon when I used it before ( last was v 1.7 stable ) but had to flash to stock/TW base to flash my phone to PagePlus and TW is waaaay to clunky for me I can't stand it anymore !!
Edit: Would the new PhilZ work for a KitKat rom ? the new official one ?

Clean flashing is recommended if you don't want to have any issues.
But you're free to dirty flash over an existing nightly if you don't want to clean flash. However, any issues you get are your own issues and should not be reported in the Gummy thread.

That kind of sucks. I'll probably just stick with the most current nightly till they come out with an official one.

[Solved]Is there root for stock kernel on 6.0

I've been looking around, but I can't find anything to suggest root is available on the stock kernel. Does anyone know if there is? CF-Autoroot doesn't work for 6.0, and so far all I've found is root for custom kernels but I want all stock.

Thanks for the link, I already looked there and they said "This is a stock kernel which provides root access along with some tweaks". It has tweaks in it, so to me that's modified which isn't stock IMO. Sorry I'm just a fussy person, I've tried custom ROMs and the rest before, but they tend to just screw stuff up for me, even the highly favorable CyanogenMod ROMs, they used to make my phone a furnace at idle! So I like the clean (almost) bug-free, vanilla stock experience on my daily driver device.

You could try Chainfire's modded boot image alone (i.e. without another custom kernel).
Perhaps it more "stock" than others. I just followed his instructions (flashed the boot.img and flashed the beta SuperSU zip in TWRP) and I appear to have root on stock Marshmallow.

I'd say, just flash the boot.img from the factory image.

That's right!
My honest guess is that they won't be having a official TWRP for us. It's not not that popular of a device unfortunately. I've had the official TWRP app installed from the play store for a while and our device isn't listed.
Best way to check is just DL official TWRP app and run it daily.
It be awesome to have a 3.1.0 but I don't need it to do anything more than what I do now!! ?

Lol true thing. I only do backups, restore, flash things (HECK YEAH)! , clean (dalvik, cache, system, data, internal storage), factory reset, and sometimes removing files from the file manager on TWRP. I don't know what else is there to be added. (Now it is true that sometimes twrp does crashes while installedomg a rom with AROMA installer. But it is nothing that cant be fix by pulling out the battery (thanks LG LOL) and putting it back again.
Besides what the current recovery does, what more do we need the recovery to do? I know there's new bells and whistles, but it works and it's stable for this variant. So, what else do we need?

It has some enhanced ADB functionality which may be helpful for Devs doing their thing (which in the end benefits us). Also has a better partition scheme for 7.1.1 which will benefit us if we ever get that update from LG. And while it's true we probably will never get the "official" support from TWRP now that the base code is available JCADDUNODO can create a 3.1.0 for us. That's what he did on 3.0.2. :laugh:
It also allows for flashing ota zips too. This is a big deal, their biggest update in a while.
