Just a noob sharing his thoughts..
I wanted to update my custom recovery from 1.1 to 1.2.
After searching in the forums, most of them suggested to reflash 1.2 using the original method (type a bunch of commands).
An easier method would be to use the signed recovery zip that mik_os has provided.
Just put the new zip onto the sdcard. goto the current (1.1) recovery, flash the new recovery zip and voila. Recovery updated to 1.2!
Link to mik_os's signed AmonRa 1.2 recovery.

What version of twrp are you using? I would update twrp if you aren't on the latest since some roms require newer versions of recovery

i am using v 2.1.8, or whichever version comes with the one click method .........thanks for the quick response! is there an updated version i can try??
Go to teamwin and download the latest, if you aren't familiar with fastboot then download the zip update and rename it following the instructions listed and in recovery mount external and copy the zip. Do not place the zip on internal, it will cause the phone to endlessly install and reboot (or reboot if you cancel) if you don't have a full system to boot to
easiest way is to download goo manager app.. top rite click the box.. then hit install openrecoveryscript.. that will install the latest twrp.. :good:
Hope somebody can help me with this. I want to root my HTC One X + (with the all in one root kit 2.3) and put the rom ViperX+ 1.0.3 on it. Can somebody confrim that the steps below are the right ones.
With all in one root kit V2.3.
1.install HTC Drivers
2.register at HTCdev
3.Get Token ID
4. Submit Token ID
5.Unlock bootloader
So far everything goes oke. But for the below steps I need help.
- Is this the moment to make a backup by creating a CWM image?
After that
- Do i need to Flash recovery TWRP International with the all in one root kit v2.3 or is it better to flash Venom mod of TWRP recovery with Venom Flasher?
- flash Elite kernel repacked (boot.img) for Viper with Venom Flasher (or is it better to flash it with the all in one tool kit)
- Boot in recovery (vol down + power)
- Full wipe
- Install Viper rom (zipfile)
-Reboot phone
Hope you guys can help me with this. Thanks!
a bit searching would have led you to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066390
at all, your steps are nearly fine: but at first you need a custom Recovery for creating any Backup (CWM Backup does just work with CWM recovery - at all those backups are generally referred as "nandroid"-Backups. But backups created with CWM are not compatible with TWRP and TWRP-Backups are not compatible with CWM)
For Viper ROM, the Viper modded TWRP is recommended, and the VenomFlasher tool is more easy than AIO-Toolkit for flashing Recovery (Venom modded TWRP 2.4.1.0) and Kernel
So do:
6. put ViperROM on your sdcard
7. flash recovery with Venom Flasher (in fastboot mode*)
8. boot into recovery, make backup (system, data and kernel, so you have your original kernel in case of ... you need to go back to stock)
9. flash kernel (in fastboot mode*)
10. go into recovery, do full wipe, and flash your ROM
Done.
* if you aren't in fastboot mode, Venom Flasher will take you there, so you just need your device switched on and connected to your computer with USB debugging activated in the developer options.

Information
Questions:
- What is the difference between normal recovery and these recoveries?
If you install a normal CWM/TWRP/Philz release on an unlocked P769, you will notice that the screen is inverted/mirrored and/or the the touch is also wonky. The above uploaded recoveries have been especially adapted to work correctly, so there is no-more mirror issue and the touch works fine as well. After flashing the below fix too, the touch should work while on your ROM as well.
Please note, you may have to also flash this fix (cwm_ts_fix_p769) for the wonky touchscreen after flashing the recovery. Get it here
- How to install recovery?
Option 1:
a. Go to recovery and flash the zip
Option 2:
a. Extract the recovery.img file from the zip and copy to your internal/external SD card on phone
b. Install Rashr from here
c. Flash the recovery from within the application by browsing for it
Option 3:
a. Extract the recovery.img file from the zip and copy to your computer
b. Use fastboot to install recovery, see here
c. Use the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Option 4:
a. Via flash_image, use this guide.
- Are these recoveries bug-free?
I have tested all the recoveries on my device (T-Mobile P769) and it does boot into them and you can flash zip files, I can't comment on functionality more than that, however if there is an issue with these recoveries then it is most likely an issue with the original recovery as well.
- How are these recoveries created?
These recoveries are created simply by using kuma82's method, described here, which is replacing the kernel (zimage) from the original recoveries and replacing with the kernal from bobZhome's CWM recovery .
- Will you keep updating the recoveries?
I will try my best, I do not compile the recoveries from the original sources, because I don't have the time or know how to, however if there is a new recovery release and required by the users, I will gladly mod it and upload it.
Thanks to:
- @artit for his TWRP
- @artas182x for his CWM 6.0.3.7 and 2nd-init
- @dhiru1602 for his device tree
- @Polloos for his compiled recoveries
- @kuma82 for his guidance on unlocking and making these recoveries
- @BobZhome for creating the CWM recovery, from which the kernel(zimage) was extracted
- Philz, TWRP, CWM for their excellent work and awesome recoveries.
Please inform people that their bootloader must be unlocked to flash these and thanks for 2.7 twrp.
Thanks, I forgot to add that. Done.
Hello.
I had to revert to stock to recover from some bad flash using this procedure : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2641261
I would like to reinstall TWRP recovery so that it can be used to flash firmwares from zip files and also recover from my backup on my SD card. What is the correct way to do this? Which TWRP recovery should I use? Where should I download it from?
Thanks.

The twrp instructions are here:
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/214
The latest version available there is 2.7.1. I believe that there were some updates for "May devices".
There are 2.8 version in kuronsan's KK ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oma...rom-omate-truesmart-ironman-firmware-t2998434
The recovery image should be flashable as described on the twrp page.
(TWRP 2.8 adds MTP in recovery, which works much better for me.)
I've tried overwriting the recovery that comes with the latest stock from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2641261 with 2.7.0, 2.7.1 and 2.8 and I cannot enter recovery...
Edit : I've just flashed 2.6.3.0 and I was able to switch to recovery... knock on wood...
I dont want MIUI and useless extra app so i have to install custom rom.
First step is unlock bootlader with mi unlock app okay. But my question is how can i install custom rom ?
TWRP or Clockwork Mod ???
Using TWRP i have to install it first after that i have to install recovery.img and lazyflasher unless my phone gonna brick and its too complicated.
What about Clockwork Mod ?? is it different method ?
I guess i found my path.
1)Installing ROM MANAGER from Play Store of course with rooted device.
2)Install inside of app Clockwork Mod
3)Select custom rom from SD Card and select Gapps,backup,wipe data...
and device gonna reboot do everything automatic is that true and simple ?
My question is using rom manager and install custom rom like that or i have to something extra.
Sorry about my english...
I don't have the phone yet, but i had redmi note 3 before and installing twrp was simply putting it in fastboot mode and using adb command "Flash recovery xxxxx.img" and you are set, considering you have an unlocked bootloader that is. then you follow the installing instructions given by the developer, usually (flash rom.zip followed by gapps.zip). But ofcourse i don't have the phone so take what i said as a refernce only and wait for someone else' reply. as of clockwork recovery, i think twrp is easier to use but there is generally no major diffrence.
Forgot Clockworkmod even existed. Have been using TWRP for ages.
cwm has reached end of support.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860
use twrp
CWM is dead, twrp is one and only option otherwise there is also Red wolf recovery available.
Steps to install a custom Rom.
Unlock bootloader
Flash TWRP
Flash lazyflasher.zip, reboot
Now DL any Rom.zip and desired Gapps package
Boot into TWRP again
Backup (just incase)
wipe > advanced wipe > wipe everything except internal / SD card
Flash firmware.zip, if you're coming from marshmallow based Miui
Flash Rom.zip followed by Gapps
?? ¿
Profit
