Whenever i go to recovery, it alsways boot into default recovery of android and not going into custom recovery. I have tried everything.

Please, post which phone model you have and the Android version. Also, make a backup of your stock recovery (I use Rashr Flash Tool, you need root) before installing another.
To install the recovery you have to flash it, the TWRP app just tells you if there exists a recovery for you (and some models are not listed in the app either).
If you haven't found any custom recovery, you could try and adapt the recovery of a similar phone to yours (similar processor, resolution...), but it is risky and can turn your phone into a stone. It implies replacing the .ks modules and testing. I don't know enough about it, but there are threads on XDA where you can get hints on how to do these things.

Hi guys!
Yesterday I successfully rooted my NS (it is a European SLCD model with stock 2.3.6 on it) following the newest guide on nexusshacks.com. So I ended up with TWRP recovery.
Then I thought the easiest to install CM is via Rom Manager. Therefore I had to change recovery for CWM. (I flashed the latest one.)
And here comes my question: why am I unable to flash CM?
First I tried it in Rom Manager, after wiping everything and rebooting system nothing happens, except for a big yellow exclamation mark.
Then I downloaded the proper CM myself and I tried to do the whole process manually in recovery menu. After wiping and choosing update from SD card I get a message like the process is aborted.
I also tried with an older CWM and with other ROM.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot

Boot into bootloader, then flash recovery via fastboot.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
stock firmware will rewrite your recovery after each boot. flash recovery then flash this right after.
Follow what SEAN SAys..............He is a Master in all these , and he helped me with details to root, flash cwm, make it sticky and flash custom ROMS.
It took me 5 minutes to do all those , and Now I am switching Roms like I switch my underwears every day twice.
I must say, Sean has the best possible way which is like a finger click.
Can anyone tell me how I flash a recovery to the device from a zip file? Going into CWM and flashing the TWRP recovery initially seems to work, but if I then interrupt the reboot and go straight into recovery, I still see CWM, not TWRP. I'm stuck on the CWM recovery and need TWRP to try to install the Kitkat upgrade.
Should I unzip the components first and then flash the image using fastboot, or is there another way? I'm wary of fastboot as I've already (temporarily) "bricked" the Xoom by flashing a zip instead of an image that way. None of the instructions I've read has much advice on getting round installation problems.
I'm guessing the persistent CWM was caused by my selecting (at an earlier stage) the CWM option to fix the problem of the stock recovery being reinstated at each reboot. Can this be undone? Although I've installed Xoom-Universal-Root, apps that require root access - including GooManager - also fail with an access error. It's hard to tell whether the device is now rooted or not, so if there's any method of getting further without root access, that would be great.
====================
Edit: it looks as if the instructions I saw online, which mentioned two separate TWRP recoveries, were incorrect. To get Android Kitkat 4.4 onto my Xoom I didn't need the initial TWRP recovery, only the BigPart version. Once I skipped to the BigPart recovery, the problem described above did not recur.
Hi Guys,
I had CM 10 on my phone and I was able to use CWM successfully. But, then I flashed Pandroid 4+ (CM 11 based) Kitkat 4.4 ROm on my phone.
Now, I am not able to boot into recovery mode. As i try to enter into recovery mode, My phone gets stuck in the boot screen and does not boot up. After so many attempts of pressing power button, it starts. It's so painful.
I want to revert back to CM 10 stable rom, but I can't boot in to recovery mode.
I did some research and found a CWMFixed.zip as a solution. It contains a boot.img file. Please let me know how can i flash this file without entering into CWM.
Or if there is any other solution for this problem then please let me know.
It urgent.
@tysonraylee I hope you can help me in this as you had posted a similar query in other thread.
Thanks in advance.
My friend, If you would have only read the PA thread properly you would know that beta 5 has the bug where it breaks the recovery you would have avoided the problem altogether but anyways i would suggest that you flash an odin format (.tar) kernel using PC Odin which will get you a working recovery and from there it should be pretty easy, if you took a nandroid backup before you will be able to restore your previous rom and if you didnt you have to flash a different rom of your choice
flash this TW PC odin format (.tar) kernel by bauner https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001607164
make sure once you flash this to not let the phone boot into ROM, after flashing successful take off the battery and then insert back and boot into recovery.
Once you have a recovery then you need a SE Linux compatible recovery so for that connect the device to PC and mount the usb storage through recovery then transfer
This Bauner's KK kernel if you require CWM https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001608504
and this GeeckoDev Raw kernel if you require TWRP recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53978758&postcount=583 (download raw_kernel_r6_k44.zip)
once transfered to your device flash the one you require and remember we are flashing these kernel just for temporary use and once a rom is flashed they will get overwritten with the recovery that comes with the rom kernel so you dont have to worry about these kernels
Once flashed remember to reboot to recovery and not system, once the device boots into your desired recovery then either restore your previous rom from backup or falsh a new one
hope this helps and remember next time before flashing a rom read the OP and atleast 4-5 last pages. Believe me this will save you a lot of trouble in your future flashing endeavours
I have a Z3 dual, and I seem to have no recovery (or even a partition). The phone has no data saved so it is safe to reinstall firmware and start over. But I am trying to get the phone going for use. I currently have 5.0.2 (rooted)installed, and want to boot to recovery to flash a zip file. I have tried a million times to do this in kitkat as well as the current upgrade. In all cases there is no recovery. TWRP cannot create a custom one and there is no recovery to boot into. I installed goomanager and tried to create a custom recovery and got the message "No recovery can be found on your device". Now, I have read that some xperia models actually did not come with any stock recovery (but I cannot verify this). I believe this might the problem from the very start. So, how do I create a custom recovery, where there seems to never have been a stock recovery to begin with. It seems like an endless loop of trying to create a custom recovery, only to be told by TWRP or goomanager that you cannot boot into recovery because there isn't any. I hope this makes sense what I am describing. I have tried many times to create a custom recovery, did re-installs of the firmware (downgraded, upgraded -- ALWAYS ROOTED), tried with bootloader locked and unlocked -- no luck in all permutations and combinations. In the end I cannot boot into the TWRP recovery screen (or any recovery screen for that matter). It simply just hangs for a bit then simply boots normally. Sometimes it gives a message telling me there is no recovery to be found. I know I am missing something, so any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi, my name is Apurv
I was looking for a TWRP recovery for my Mediatek MT6580 phone Homtom Ht3.
I came across a boot image which said that it is for only mediatek phones and can be flashed using flashify only.
Sorry since I am new, I can't insert outside links and images.
I followed all the steps given on the site and flashing the boot image was successful.
When I checked whether this new recovery works or not, my phone directly booted to Factory mode
with following options:- Auto Test, Manual Test, Item Test, Test Report, Debug Test, Clear eMMC, Version, Reboot.
I don't recognize this recovery. Is it TWRP? Because I believe it is CWM. And if it is CWM then how can I go to the Recovery mode?
I do have Kernel and Stock backups on flashify, if I install them, is it going to reinstall my original recovery?
Please help!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi !
the "boot.img" file you have flashed is not a recovery , it is a kernel
The messages you have seen are most probably related to a recovery , maybe stock recovery
Restore the boot img and stock ( I`m not sure what "stock" is ) if you have saved it and if you`re able to restore it
Good luck !
