updating recovery instructions are all in their threads. Now the simple answer is yes and of course it does not effect anything but the bigger issue is because you are unsure of this may I please suggest you do more reading up on rooting recoveries and such before going forward.
There have been some issues with TWRP versions causing issues so pleaser read their official and unofficial thread. Also why are you upgrading your recovery and lastly have you made backups of your efs?
If any of what I said sounds crazy a little reading of the TWRP threads will enlighten you

If you can get into CWM can't you flash a different recovery, maybe TWRP, then flash a good ROM? I'm a fan of the OMNIROM Kit Kat 4.4.2, but there's lots to choose from.
I had trouble installing ROMs from CWM, but all that resolved with TWRP. I used 2.7.0.1 of TWRP, by the way.
Good luck, and report back.

Update to latest twrp (I prefer philz advanced recovery, myself) and try flashing again.
Oh, and if possible use a different ROM file as your download may have been corrupted.

Just download latest TWRP from Android Andi here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47970089 flash it thru your CWM, reboot into your new recovery, wipe system and flash a different ROM. Make sure you re-download whatever ROM you are going to use because as previously stated you may have gotten a bad download.

Read my last post. Use a different ROM then. There are plenty to choose from.
To be clear what you need to do is use the CWM you have to install A DIFFERENT recovery, one more compatible with a lot of the current custom ROMs. I have used TWRP so for example:
1. Boot to CWM with TWRP package on your microSD
2. Flash TWRP
3. Reboot into recovery... CWM will be gone and you will have TWRP instead
4. In Twrp Wipe caches and format system
5. Still In Twrp, Flash ROM of your choice from ROM downloaded onto your microsd
6. Reboot system and give it time.
Let us know how it goes!
Thank you everyone
Thank You Thanx a lot for helping me guys

Hey after i installed Omnirom i think i lost my Root Access
cz Xposed doesnt start anymore and and not any other also
help me please
Glad you got your system to boot omnirom! You may need to re root the device... Others here can help you get that done, as I'm no expert.

Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535083and use the Philz recovery link for your device. Once finished you can reflash your existing TWRP zip you used earlier to regain TWRP recovery if thats what you want. Or you can just leave as is and have Philz recovery as that is a very good one as well. Your choice.
You could also use the SuperSu link from here http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu and just flash that. I believe that will work just the same. I havent, but have heard it works as well
Thanx

Data working doesnt deppend on flashing with TWRP... It deppends on the ROM you choose to flash with it. Nowadays most ROMs have data connection working propperly. Read each ROM thread to know of data is working or not. :good:
Also, you should do this kind of questions on the Questions & Answers section man.

You'll have to flash stock Cos13.1x(not cm13) from fastboot mode(not TWRP).

I did a Google search for TWRP for SM-G361F.
I saw more than one version of TWRP for SM-G361F.
So, as I said the first time, try a different version of TWRP such as 3.0.1-0 for SM-G361F or 3.0.0-0 for SM-G361F. Some version other than the one you have, maybe the particular TWRP build/file you have is faulty.

Flashing another version does NOT delete Recovery "memory"! For viability reasons I came back to 3.0.2 after flashing (and using of course) 2.8.7 and it still "thinking" that my SD is partitionned! It doesnt want to write it anymore under this version!!

Question How to Flash Stock MIUI ROM via TWRP (or recovery)?

Hi all
Apologies if this has been asked before but, what are the steps to flash a stock MIUI Rom via recovery?
Last time I tried (I'm on TWRP-3.5.2) it did not work (I got a TWRP bootloop)- hence this thread.
Any meaningful insight is appreciated.

Exact same way as Clean flash custom ROMs.
Step 16 is a must.
