Sorry for the noob question, search results turned up nothing. When I rooted my phone, it had twrp on it, but then I loaded viper rom, and now I have cmw....most of my backups were on twrp. Is there a way to switch back and forth between the two? Viper now has an update, but says it doesnt load with cmw and you need to use twrp. Any help would be greatly appreciated
You can't have both. So pick flash the twrp recovery and be done with it. I don't think it will corrupt your nands but anything is possible.

Hi, I'm currently using the latest ClockworkMod as my recovery. I've never had any problem with it (had it on my og evo as well), but I'm hearing a lot of great things about twrp recovery, so I'd like to make the switch. I'm all clear on most of the process, but is it correct that I'll need to make new nandroid backups? If so, should I delete my cwm nands? How would I go about doing that? And am I correct that I'd need to revert to my stock (first) nandroid, flash the new recovery from there, make a new twrp nandroid, and then go back to cm7? Just want to be sure, as I know that nandroids are a lifeline and I don't want to screw anything up. Thanks in advance!

yes, on your sdcard/clockworkmod/backups
And am I correct that I'd need to revert to my stock (first) nandroid, flash the new recovery from there, make a new twrp nandroid, and then go back to cm7?

no, you can just make a nand with the new recovery of your current setup, no need to revert

Sounds good. What to do though if I need to ever go back to stock rom? (Unlikely anyhow). Will I be able to find a stock rooted rom in the dev forums?

I'm really sorry, but I have a query. Is DooMRecovery for the Xperia S only on GB 2.3.7? Because I flashed DooMKernel and The WiFi modules based on something I read on another website, and it only boots into DooMRecovery. If I don't press the volume up button, it only restarts.
I don't have any system image files on my phone either, for me to flash a firmware. So, I'm thinking that basically I'm screwed. Any help regarding this matter will be greatly appreciated.
This is my first Android phone and I really messed up. Really appreciate any help.
Here's a link to the website, who's tutorial I followed to flash the Kernel and Modules.
androidauthority.com/xperia-s-lt26i-clockworkmod-recovery-doomrecovery-76877
I'm really sorry, but I'm new here..
I think doomrecovery is just RECOVERY, that's why the name
It's only for GB. If you need recovery, flash Advanced Stock Kernel.

I was wondering if I could just flash the CM9 boot image and install the zip from CWM. It come with CWM, if I'm not mistaken. Also, is CWM a pre rooted image?

So, if I manage to get the CM9 files onto the internal memory and flash them, I'm good? I'm currently on ICS and accidentally flashed DooMRecovery on my phone, so I'm stuck in auto restart. So if I manage to get the zips inside and flash the boot image in fastboot and install the zips in recovery, I should be good, right?

Hey guys. So I have been flashing Rom's on just about every android phone I have owned since the Moto Droid 1 came out. I never have had any real issues. I am by no means an expert but I do have a meager comprehension of how this all works. But for some reason when my friend brought his Moto Atrix 4g over to have me unlock it and root it for him, I got it unlocked and rooted successfully but once I completed those tasks I set about getting him a custom rom. I attempted to flash CM10, CM7 and a few other roms. Atleast 4 others. None of them seem to want to flash. His phone is now stuck on the Dual Core boot menu. When I go into recovery from CWM and select restore it just clears the screen of all text and nothing happens. Yes when I flash the rom I wipe cache/dalvik cache/ and factory reset. I have no idea what is going on or how to fix it at this point and any help would be appreciated. I am currently trying to find a stock image rom but the only one I found on these forums is outdated and there is no mirror in the link. So PLEASE PLEASE help me. Idk what to do.
Thanks guys!!!!
Try a different recovery?

Oh wait did you mean like a different recovery under the CWM? There are no other Recoveries. The only option I get when I go to back/recovery is to either backup or recover so I select recover and then nothing happens from that point.
How did you flash CWM on it in the first place? It's the same procedure, you know... Or you could read the related recovery thread. Some people like romracer's others like TWRP. They're available in the dev section.

Oh ok my bad. I understand what you are saying. I wasn't sure if TWRP and romracer were compatible with this phone. I didn't know how that worked but if I can just try and flash a different recovery I'll do that. Ill try TWRP tonight that's what I have on my EVO 4g LTE and I flashed CM10 just fine on it so. Hopefully that will help. Thanks a ton man!
Well, if it's in this phone's dev section, it better be compatible with this phone, eh? Just don't try to use another phone's recovery. That could brick it.
I use TWRP recovery. There is a thread for that in the dev thread. Someone there made it flashable. You'll just have to search for it. Put it on the sd card, go into recovery and flash it. Reboot into recovery and there yea go. I prefer TWRP because it's different and easy to use. Good luck!!

Someone should put a sticky that the automatic unlock/root tool flashes an outdated recovery that doesn't work with new ROMs. We seem to get one of these threads every couple of days..

Just go to the play store and buy rom toolbox. You will not regret it. You can change recovery with a touch of the screen.

make sure your sd card is good. and try mounting it in recovery if you know 100% that it is good.

Photon 2.3.5, rooted, locked. Was trying to flash jellybean, something went wrong. Now it just cycles to the 'Dual Core' screen, and off. I can get into the boot menus and rsd. Tried wiping data from recovery, didn't help. I have tried to flash 198_7 sbf file, but it fails at re-enumeration. Is my phone toast?

I don't think so.
Can you able to enter custom recovery. If yes try nandroid backup.
Only few roms like peetrs hybrid are available For locked bootloader .
You flashed a rom for unlocked bootloader on locked phone. So the result is softbrick.

Thanks for the assistance. I was able to flash some of the .sbf file. It failed during the "jump". However, it did boot up. Now I need to root. Do I use a rooting method for the Electrify, or can I use the photon torpedo method?
Thanks again for the help!!!
OK. I'm rooted, and I have Rom Manager installed. I can't boot to CWM recovery. I get the triangle! . Will I not be able to boot to CWM recovery?
Thank you! Thank you!!

New issue now. I have no audio on calls. The other party can hear me, I can't hear them. Speaker phone works good. From what I've seen, this is a software issue. Would you happen to have a fix for this?
Never mind. Broken speaker wires. Got it disconnected from the board, just have to order a new one.
