So over at another site I had gotten aospCWMod and aospCMod-OV a couple weeks ago, before the 5/16 update.
Now I see theres an update to both the ROM itself and ClockWorkMod. Just wondering why the need to update ClockWorkMod? Just seems to me like if a ROM flash goes bad, you have ClockWorkMod to save you, but if a flash of ClockWorkMod goes bad, then you're F'ed...

So I was using the BeastMod ROM for a while and decided to go back and do a recovery and use the stock ROM for a while. I got everything all going back to normal with the stock ROM and got a notification about the T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling update that was available. I downloaded the update and then proceeded to install the update. When the phone reboots it pops to the Android and Triangle screen and does nothing.
Any ideas what to do to get this installed?

You have the stock recovery installed?
You'll probably lose root by installing this update. Just so you know.
I installed the stock recovery, went through the set up of the phone like it was brand new and got a prompt to download. Downloaded, and went through install only to come up with the triangle screen upon reboot of phone. I have to pull battery and restart phone.
I realize that it is possible that losing Root is there. I am just having issues with the operation of the phone and want to run stock. I don't mind sense, my only complaint and only initial want for a new ROM was to get rid of the bloatware.
I have not followed up with the ROM and their development in the last two months or so, so do not where there are and the stability of them. I want something that isn't going to take me all day to install on my phone by trying to figure out how to install it and flashing of kernals and other things. I'd prefer to be able to download to and SD card and install the zip through recovery and that be it. Not sure if that is possible.

After you flashed CWM recovery, you are very much can flash Rom and theme from recovery by downloading onto your sdcard - as you so wished - with the exception of Faux's kernal
'Til now, we only have 2 kernel: Stock and Faux's and very much all the Roms are based on stock kernel, so, if you referred to avoid the hassle of using your PC - then stay with stock. You'll only need to flash it once and after that, either upgrading or changing a new rom (stock kernel based) you won't have to flash it again .
Exceptions are:
Beside one or two Roms that featured Faux's kernel (can't recalled exactly but very few - read the first post of your would-be Rom), other than that you will have to pay attention to Xboarder latest Rom - the BulletProof. It's latest version (2.2.0) feature Faux's kernel whereas older version based on stock, so, if you flash older BulletProof Version (2.1.0 and backward) you are worry-free to switches from many Roms without being near your PC to flashing kernel.
I'm strongly encouraged you to go ahead and try some Rom, they are very stable and fast. Battery hog is the thing of the past IMHO
ok so i wouldnt say im a noob but im not as advanced as some of yous. last night i flashed a leaked ics onto my phone and loved it with one exception. i couldnt figure out how to root it. all my apps are backed up on titanium backup and i didnt want to have to get all of them manually. so i flashed back to stock using odin with a file i used back when that crappy update came out. i rooted it with super one click and and then went to put on a prerooted ics... when in recovery mode now i get this message
cant access to '/system/csc/att/system/'
i try putting on cwm and siyah and i keep getting authentication errors and the installation aborts. also recovery mode wont read my external sd card now. when the phone is booted up it works fine except i tried to do the factory ota update and it keeps failing. i tried reflashing back to stock again and did the update unrooted and it still failed.
i know you guys hate hate when people ask without researching so i did SOME forum browsing and found nothing. sorry i dont really have time to look too extensively. i just want to know how to fix it. i appreciate any help i can get

Start with getting back to stock using this guide. Check for ICS bootloaders too, you probably flashed them and you have to get stock ones back (careful, flashing bootloaders can cause hardbricking). Once you're back to stock and rooted, you shouldn't need to ever use PC Odin again.
Then use this guide for rooting/flashing.
One other note: when you tried to install CWM, it sounds like you loaded an update.zip onto your phone then tried to install it using stock recovery. Stock recovery won't let you install unsigned update.zips, which is why that method for getting CWM on your phone will never work (hence the authentication error and installation abort). For our phone, CWM is only included in custom kernels, that's the only way to get it on there, and don't even think about updating or changing it via other means. Just flash a custom kernel, it'll include CWM, use it until you want to switch kernels.
Hit my thanks button, I was really nice this time. And post in Q/A next time as well.
EDIT: Skip the second guide if all you want is stock. You should be able to update OTA after following the first guide. Though even if stock is what you want, I highly recommend flashing a custom GB kernel because a) they're more stable and faster and b) you'll have CWM in case you need it.
You started off mentioning about "leak ics" which I have absolutely zero experience.
My suggestion:
1. Try to get it back to stock. Make sure it works correctly.
2. If hasn't rooted yet, do so.
3. Getting CMW into the device by flashing custom kernel.
4. From there, install any ICS ROM you want.
New to this - I really apologize if this has been covered before but I've been searching all evening and not coming up with a definitive answer.
What's the easiest way to remove a custom recovery (like twrp) and go back to stock? Still on the stock rom, just have custom recovery. I manually deleted a nandroid backup using a file manager from my sd card yesterday, and now when booting into recovery it sits on the twrp screen for easily 10-15 minutes. I can't fathom why that would have an effect on the start up time but that's all I can think of that changed. I've tried re-installing twrp via goomanager - no change.
Is there a way to do so without using usb? I'm curious because the first S4 I had, the usb port went bad after only a month and I was in a panic that I wouldn't be able to get it back to stock (until I finally got it to work long enough to flash it with odin). Really don't want to risk that happening again.
Looking to run some roms once I think I understand at least half of what I'm doing, but trying to be cautious. I'd like to keep twrp but I want to make sure it's working right by loading a clean install of it.
Thanks in advance.
A lot of users are experiencing the lag with TWRP version installed by Goo Manager - (TWRP 2.6.0).
The link below has a flashable zip to version 2.5.0.2, this version seems to be stable and doesn't lag at the TWRP screen for most people including myself.
I would try flashing this and I think it will solve your problem.

Thank you. I'm a little stumped on what to do with the zip now that I have it though and all my searching for "loading recovery with goo manager" just shows the method to load the newer version. Or if you're supposed to load it via pc, what do you use? Odin doesn't like any of those file types.
Sorry if this is a dumb question. Probably just not searching for the right thing.

You flash it via recovery. Put in your sdcard/internal boot to recovery amd use the install zip option. Navigate to where it is and flash away.

Yes, it is a flashable zip, just flash it in the recovery you have now.
I found this post based on the OP's original question, "how to remove TWRP recovery".
I have been flashing rooted ROMs for a while now via ODIN, but am just now starting to foray into the realm of custom recoveries. Before I install TWRP though, I wanted to know how to remove it just in case something ever goes wrong. That is, I've been avoiding the use of a custom recovery so far because if something ever happened to my device, I could just flash the stock ROM, and having already used Triangle Away, Samsung will never be the wiser and would service my device, but with a custom recovery installed, they would be able to see I'm not running totally stock.
So, is there a way to completely return my device to 100% stock after installing TWRP? And if so, how would I go about doing that?
My device is a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013, currently running a root injected stock ROM, 4.1.2
EDIT: I just noticed that this is in the S4 forum, which my N8013 obviously is not, but the answer to my question should be the same regardless, yes?

Thanks Gadget, Hex. TWRP 2.5.0.2 works great. But just for future reference, is the only way to revert to the stock recovery by flashing a stock device image via odin over usb? So if the USB port were to fail entirely, I would be SoL - correct?
Hi,
I rooted my phone and flashed a couple roms on it long ago back on 4.1.1. I hadn't done anything knew with it for a long time and I never allowed any OTA updates or anything like that. I recently picked up a smartwatch and I needed to move to a newer version to be able to get the app to use with the smartwatch. I am quite rusty and it seems like a lot of things have changed. I tried downloading one of the new lollipop roms and also picked up an older one from 4.4 just to try them out. I went to flash the lollipop one and I'm guessing there was probably something I was missing for later updates or something cause it failed.
I was running an old version of TWRP and thought maybe that needed to be updated. I downloaded a TWRP downloader program in the playstore and supposedly downloaded the newest version but when it rebooted I was stuck on the samsung logo and even letting it sit for 30+ minutes it never would progress. So, I then figured I was stuck on this so I looked up how to get back to stock and I used ODIN to get back to stock. Now, I think I'm not longer rooted and will have to go through the root process again. What path should I take to be able to get to the newer versions? I'm trying hard not to mess it up.
Thanks for any advice you can give!

I actually figured out what to do. I had to update my TWRP and I just used ODIN to update it. I tried to use the app in the appstore but it didn't work.
I lost my Nook Tablet for a while and just recently found it again. I'd like to update the recovery tool and put a new ROM on it so I'm looking for suggestions.
I had previously rooted it and installed ClockWorkMod and then it is running some version of an Android ROM. I'm looking to update the ROM to something newer so I can make use of new apps etc. Also I know newer ROMs need newer recovery tools to install. Is CWM still the go to for that?
Thanks for any help!

I'm running CM 10.2 and have been very happy with it. This excellent post by digixmax should get you on your way. It's what I used to get up and running, and yes, the recovery is CWM-based.

Thanks for that! Honestly i'm not sure what is going on. I managed to get Cyanoboot on it, installed CWM 6.0.4.8, yet every single 10.1~10.2 CM ROM I get from the official directory seems to cause it to go into a weird state where the screen goes blank, then flashes white, then goes blank again and repeat etc. Eventually the tablet just restarts. I've yet to find a single ROM that I can successfully load via SD card or internal and install it through CWM. For such an old tablet, I'm surprised things are this difficult! I've spent the last few days flashing back to stock on so many occasions when things have gone wrong. I wish I could try some other ROMs that aren't on the official CM repository however most ROMs have been hosted on Goo.im and while the site works, it is so slow you aren't even sure if the file is downloading. I wish there was more custom ROMs I could try because every official CM from 10.1 to 12.1 is bricking or failing to install! I'm honestly at my wits end.

I'm not skilled enough to give advice relative to your problem, but I might suggest you go for 10.0. Many people seem to think that this is the most stable of the lot, although it does seem there is something else going on with the problems you describe--maybe the SD card?
