So my laptop is in repair and I just got the g3. I have rooted with stump and just need to install TWRP but without a computer if possible. Is it doable?

You can use flashify
You can get it from the Google play store and install the TWRP that it downloads automatically but you have to download and flash one of the "Bumped" ones from available here on the XDA forums in order to install custom ROM's.
Well u mean flashify from Google play? Then I'll have to flash the recovery from the bump threads?

Yeah download bumped twrp on your phone ...and use flashify to flash the recovery.img.

Flash it with fastboot, of course. There are plenty of posts here and on the net in general that explain how.
or you could use flashimagegui. its a paid app in the play store, & its also posted here by the dev

Or install the ROM Manager app, which can flash CWM for you.
Use my Root post

Simply ignore steps 8 & 9
I used the casual root process and I'm rooted also installed touch recovery and used ez unlock to open my bootloader but it will not go into touch cwm recovery it will go into standard recovery but that is all ....

Download the CWM Touch 6.x img file, then download "EZ Recovery" from the Play Store, then install the CWM Touch img using EZ Recovery.
Do you have a link

Here's EZ Recovery. Download CWM from the website. Once you've done that, choose "custom" in EZ Recovery" and a file manager will pop up for you to find the file.
Got it all working thank you

EZ Unlock
I can't find ez unlock on playstore. I;d like to find it.
Its not on the play store anymore. Link is below. You want to 1.2. Do NOT use 1.3 or 1.4. They r broken. I have 1.2 linked below. Also read the thread linked below for details. Remember if you accidently lock your bootloader using this app you will have to Odin back to stock.

Is it possible to use goomanager to install TWRP after the device is rooted with cf root?

Yep. That's the easiest way to do it.

Yes, though having a Nexus device, it'd be good for you to learn fastboot/adb. Comes in handy.
Cool. Thanks guys. I guess is this correct?
1. Cf root
2. Goomanager for twrp
Twrp will stick right? I saw some people needing to flash like 6 times before twrp sticks.

As aznk3vi17 says, go the adb fastboot way. You'll be better off in the long run than using a bunch of easy tools. Sooner or later you're going to get yourself into trouble where they'll come in handy.

Yeah but when you download twrp the page go to 403 error.
Thanks guys. I guess I will do it via GooManager.

No you won't. The download page doesn't work.
I'll probably do it later then.
IIRC it's been like that for a week or more. Just do the ADB flash. Or use Flashify. That's just as easy as Goo.
Download the Flashify app, download the TWRP recovery img file to your phone and install with flashify from your phone.

Or just fastboot flash the recovery on. It takes 20 seconds tops.

Correct. As long as you have the img file and not zip.
You'll just go in to your downloads and tap it, install with flashify and you're done. Restart the device in fastboot mode and scroll to recovery to make sure it took.

Just don't use goo manager to flash roms. It's way too easy to find a rom that is not for your device and flash it. I'll use goo to put on the recovery and then remove it from my phone

It's possible but not likely. If anything it just won't over write the stock recovery.
when trying to install TWRP with goomanager says 403 error when downloading, why?

Use flashify. That's what I did.

For some reason I can't get flashify to work. When I press on the IMG I want to flash it doesn't do anything.
But I also know how to use adb so it's not a huge issue.

Just wanted to know if its possible to root (towel root) flash custom recovery and custom roms and then if I decide to later revert totally back to stock unrooted nexus without a PC. Ive attempted to read up on this but I'm a little confused that ill need to use SDK and ADB which i can't have access to at the moment or have the skills to use.
I've seen apps on google play to unlock boot loader once towel rooted but I'm just unsure if i can revert totally back to an unrooted nexus 5 with original recovery, without a pc as I'm using an iMac and having really unreliability with it :/
Id greatly appreciate any help :good:

There are a couple different options.
I'm not sure if flashify requires a unlocked bootloader. Root, flash custom recovery with flashify, make a backup. When you are done either restore backup or if stock already use flashify to flash stock recovery, delete root apps, unroot via supersu.
Boot unlocker I have heard will work to lock and unlock boot loader but I'm not sure about resetting the tamper flag.
Using fastboot and adb is always going to be the surest and safest way to root etc. Unless you are going to be submitting your phone for RMA there should be no reason to unroot. You can always flash a stock rooted ROM and just leave it.

Steps are;
-Download boot unlocker fr on play
-Download flashify from play (just in case)
-Download vomers stock ROM (number 6 in resources section in the link in my signature)
-Download stock recovery (number 7 in resources section in the link in my signature)
Firstly, flash the recovery zip via your current recovery and reboot
Then, reset The tamper flag and lock the boot loader
Finally, open SuperSU and use the full indoor option to remove Root
Good as new.

If I root (towel root) install custom recovery then unroot and factory reset will I have stock recovery back?

Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
no, factory resets only wipe your user data, they dont magically reinstall software. but you will after you.. a. flash the factory img, or b. flash the stock recovery via fastboot.
all info and guides are linked in my signature. Lots of reading but lots to learn.

You could extract the recovery.img from the stock rom and flash it
Just discovered flashify oh man its amazing
