[Q] How to install custom recovery after root?

first things first. I'm a noob. HAHA. but i'm willing to learn.
I recently rooted my phone by using chainfire's CF-AUTO-ROOT and it has stock recovery on it. Now, I want to install a custom recovery, specifically cwm recovery. How will be able to do this? Do I have to unroot then root again? a step by step info will be appreciated. thanks

First of all find a cwm file for ur device specific to the model u have on google. Flash it with Odin n u will have the recovery.

done finding cwm file that's compatible with my tab
Flashing? not really that well with android terms yet. after clicking "pda" then selecting the cwm file, should I click start? is that what you meant by flashing?
I appreciate your help.

Yeah first go to download mode holding power and volume down button and select the file in the PDA section n just click on start. And wait till pass. appears on the Odin screen. That's it.

I also would like to install cm 10.2. is it stable? I tried searching and I found pac rom and if i'm not mistaken 3 custom roms are installed into 1 rom.
I also would like to ask if it is really necessary to wipe all data before installing a new rom? and if so, would apps like titanium backup pro would be able to backup every single app or information that is in my tab/

Yeah u have to wipe cache and dalvik cache. 10.2 nighties r stable. No issues with me.

Your thread is changing direction but I can't resist commenting anyway. If your tablet is rooted, stock I don't think you will see big benefits to a custom ROM. For other tablets I use like the Kindle, Nook and N7 custom roms can make a huge difference. I'm running CM 10.? Or variants of that on those devices. My most used tablet is this 2.7 with stock ROM. If you must try another ROM, I'd suggest a sick based ROM that is deodexed with sound or visual enhancements. Also, changing to a noon, Touchwiz launcher will make big differences. GOOD LUCK!
P.S. quess what a ROMaholic might be.

Okay, first, make sure you have whatever you need backed up.
Second, wipe everything except SD card ( dalvik, cache, system, boot, data)
Third, reflash the ROM, and report back if your problem persists.

You can't dirty flash a 4.3 rom over a 4.2 rom like you did since the gapps are not compatible. It causes all sort of force close like you have. Do as Setting.Out said and make sure you download the correct gapps for 4.3. Flash them after you flash your rom.

try the rom at my singature

4.3应该是没有官方的，另外 I9023XXI1指的是基带版本，应该跟刷那个版本系统没什么关系，4.3除了cm以外没发现有哪个bug少的

the google official didnot release andorid 4.3 for android,you can download official image from here(just google search nexus factory image,then open first links and find out the image adapt you phone),using fastboot flash you phone :victory:

I could never get this image to install when I've tried it -- I suspect it requires a 4.2.X or earlier recovery to flash. (This image is quite old) My 4.3.1 recovery throws errors with this one.

[Q] has anyone found a solution for this BT and WIFi collision?

https://github.com/TeamApexQ/apexq/issues/40
it seems to be an ongoing issue which defenitely prevents me from moving to cynogen mod.

It is available. Nightlies are being built every day. I believe the fix has also been rolled into the CM 10.2 codebase, and will hit in the next stable release. Though @Nardholio will have to confirm that.

Nightlies aren't stable question has it bee introduced to 10.2 stable release from December

See my previous post. It will come in the next stable 10.2 release.

Which recovery are you using? Are you using the one linked to in the installation directions on the Wiki? If not, do so. It should work.

I'm using 6.0.2.8 but could it Because I'm already rooted?

That recovery is far too old. Use the one linked in the CyanogenMod wiki for the apexqtmo. It's also the one linked in the CM-11 preview thread here.

The recovery I posted is the only recovery image that TeamApexQ supports. I also posted a recovery zip later in the thread that I can assure you works as well. Any other recoveries that you can get to work, excellent, but we are not supporting it. The OP will not be changed. As for the question of BTC, as I already stated, we've fixed it in CM-11. We found new firmware that works with it and the Relay.

5.1.1 to CM12.1 advice please

Hi
Stock 5.1.1 LMY48B
rooted with TWRP installed.
Can I flash to CM12.1 just by flashing the zip from TWRP ?
will I lose any data ? Do I need to worry about bootloader or radio versions ?
If I want to go back is it as simple as flashing my nandroid backup ?
Thanks

As I know going from rom to rom you need to make a factory reset.
That will remove all what is stored on /data
All apps, cache and dalvik cache.
All other data insidr /storage/sdcard will be on safe
As I know stock rom cannot be restored, but I just take this device before 1 day. I don't know for that, because on mine previous phone that was impossible

CM nightlies include a radio and bootloader so you don't have to worry about that.

Even if I never tried you should be able to restore a stock nandroid backup thru TWRP (you don't flash anything).

Thanks I'll try this at the weekend ?

No they don't.
But since he's upgraded to stock 5.1.x already, everything is up to date and there's nothing to worry about. Besides, Google's bootloaders usually have good forward- and backward-compatibility.

From Jira:
Me => CM (AOSP) is the only rom which has a bootloader and a radio into its zip. Why? Could you remove them?
I was on the newest bootloader HHz12f and a radio from KRT16M. Every time I flash CM nightlies I have to update my bootloader and flash an older radio. Very annoying.
Thank you.
CM Team => Sorry, we will continue to ship both. It saves us more headaches in the long run. Thanks for your understanding.
It's as simple as that.

Custom ROMs have a check into their update-script for the bootloader version. If you don't have the good one then you can't flash it.
