[Q] Twrp 2.3 over Twrp 2.2

Am wanting to update TWRP 2.2 to TWRP 2.3. Can I install this new update over the older version of TWRP or do I have to wipe anything first? Have dowloaded TRWP 2.3 for wingray.img. The device is motorola xoom wifi running cm 10.1 rom. Also should I use the afore mentioned download or would a zip file be the way to go? I am using the TWRP 2.3 version on my Nexus 7 and do like it alot. No problems with TWRP 2.2 on my xoom except it is'nt recognizing my ext. sd card. Also on TWRP website they recommend upgrading to latest version when running jb rom. Any input would be great. Thanks!

Found my solution in Goo Manager. Went to "install open script recovery" and it found the newest version and automatically installed it. Am now running TWRP 2.3.3.0 on my xoom and fixed my problem with installing within TWRP from my ext. sd card.

Unable to install Cyanogenmod 11

I am perplexed:
I had previously installed many custom roms after updating to stock kitkat, including CM 11. However, I am not able instally cyanogenmod, AT ALL. I have gone through all the steps and all the recoveries, CWM & TWRP all versions. After the installation, the phone hangs on the boot logo, always.
Any clue would be appreciated. Thank you.
U sure u flashed/fastbooted the recommended kernel correctly and did a full wipe before installing the Rom?
Sent from my MT25i
I highly doubt you installed CM11 with the KitKat kernel installed. It won't work. The only way it would work is to FXZ back to JB and then install the previous version of CWM or TWRP.
Currently, there are no ROMs working with the KitKat versions of CM11 or TWRP, although dhacker is working on a new CM11 using the latest KK kernel for the RAZR HD phones and the developer for the Nexesque ROM is also working on an updated version that uses the KitKat kernel as well.

It was very strange situation. I ended up getting CM to work by using CWM 6.0.4.4. FMI (for my information), I need to use CWM 6.0.4.4 will be needed to install custom roms.
Thanks for the advice..

[Q] Android 5.0.1 and TWRP compatible version

Do you know any version of TWRP that is compatible to Android 5.0.1?
When I installed Android 5.0 and the latest version of TWRP which is 2.8.1.0 when ever I do full back up in the recovery my phone gets some kind of "reset." I did the back up twice and it was kind of "reset" twice. I dont want to happen that again coz its time consuming.
So can you suggest the version of TWRP that you use that is compatible with Android 5.0.1? TWRP only.
Thanks.

[Q] Need help going from 4.1.1 to KatKiss

I currently am running CleanROM 3.0.3 Inheritance, android 4.1.1 bootloader 10.4.2.18-20121122 and twrp 2.3.1.0. I would like to be running KatKiss Lillipop.
As far as I can tell, if I can update my bootloader to the 4.2 version I should be able to flash the latest twrp and then KatKiss, but I need help to update my bootloader.

Use fastboot to install the new Stock ROM by flashing the system blob. Then reboot and install the 2.8 TWRP, then the KatKiss ROM.

Thanks! Worked out great. In case anyone else has a similar problem, I followed this guide by pjc21, flashed the 10.6.1.27 blob directly from 10.4.2.18, and then flashed the latest TWRP and then KatKiss. Worked out great!

Flashing recovery build for lower android version than mine ?

Hello,
I want to change my cwm to twrp, and I downloaded the twrp img file and nandroid.
Also, I already installed cyanogenmod 10.2 on my tab, so it's Android 4.3.
Now, the build of the twrp is said to be for "4.1.2"
Can I flash this build to my current 4.3 tab in order to switch from cwm to twrp?
Thanks
