I flashed twrp.img during unlock/root process. I have seen some mods/roms that say I should use CWR and not twrp to flash.
is it ok to install cwr even though I am running twrp already?
I fear conflicts like when I click reboot to recovery, wouldn't my device be confused which to use?
If you flash cwm it will replace twrp

Go ahead and flash cwm youll be perfectly safe. the recovery.img's overwrite eachother so the phone will only boot to one or the other depending on what you have flashed most recently. TWRP has known errors, i've actually contacted the primary dev of twrp to resolve this but havent had time to follow up with him. Anyway CWM is much safer for now.
Don't forget that backups made with one recovery won't restore with a different recovery. So if you switch from TWRP to CWR, make a new backup
I would really like to see Amon Ra ported to the DNA. Anyone know how, or someone who could? It worked really nice on the Rezound.

Stuck on boot after wiping then restoring nandroid using clockwork recovery image.
Had to do a fresh zip install.

Don't use clockwork recovery....I think thats what caused my brick on one of my old eris.
I wasn't able to flash boot.img or restore/flash any rom.
I was talking to devs and they told me that clockwork might have messed up my install.
I say stick with RA.

I followed this guide here to root my EVO 3D:

Then my friend who already had a rooted Galaxy S told me to get ROM Manager and it installed Clockwork Recovery. I didn't know you only needed one recovery since I'm noob at this and when I tried to install a Custom ROM with Clockwork, it just boots and I get the Sprint logo and nothing happens. I try to boot into TWRP and nothing also happens. I think having two recoverys is going a major issue with my phone and I'm unable to install any roms. Is there anyway to go back to just having the TWRP Recovery and get rid of the ClockWork/ROM Manager? Or will I have to reset everything and root again?
Huh... Sounds like the hboot 1.5 is giving you issues... Use image GUI app for 1.5 to flash right from normal android mode( everyday user mode) look the thread in themes and apps to get it installed. Let me know how it goes here. No link as I'm using the tapa app

You can't have 2 recoveries installed at the same time...if you initially had TWRP, when you flashed clockwork it would've over-written TWRP. You don't need to reset anything or re-root to get back to TWRP. You should just be able to flash TWRP again. Use the method from the thread you initially followed. Just the part about flashing TWRP is all you need to do. I've never tried it, but you could also try flashing it with the app flash gui image, or something to that nature. Joeykrim developed it and I've heard it works nice, here's where to find info about it, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192527. If your phone won't boot, the flash gui image app prob wouldn't be the best way. I would just boot your phone to fastboot, re-flash TWRP recovery, then flash a rom and try rebooting.
I don't have hboot 1.5, so I'm not up to date on the 'special' ways you need to flash, but I know that you need to boot into recovery from fastboot in order to flash a kernel, and I'm not sure if there's other steps you need to to take in the flashing process, so research that and make sure you're doing it correctly. If you don't boot to recovery from fastboot, the kernel won't flash and you'll be stuck in boot loops or something like that. Good luck.
Thank you guys! The flash image gui thing made the fix very seamless. I just flashed TWRP again and now it's showing up. Flashing synergy nitely now. Woot!
I have a G2 rooted with the Desire Z HBOOT and clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.7 and everything was working perfectly when randomly out of nowhere my backups no longer restored properly. It would either say md5 sum mismatch or it would restore and get stuck at HTC bootscreen. This happens with any rom i flash. I've tried wiping/factory reset/formatting sdcard/flashing older cwm/ and even removing and creating new md5 images. NOTHING works. This is important to me because I ususally flash back and forth between different roms and I like being able to back them up.
this happens whether i use ROM manager (4.8.0.2) to do the backup and/or restore; or if i use cwm recovery console to do the backup and/or restore. sometimes with ROM manager i get an error that says either it can't process the request or it says can't find SD card marker or something like that.
I recommend using an older version of CWM, like 2.xxx
i have tried using all the versions of the recovery. none work.
okay, randomly some of the backups will be good and some will be broken. I don't know why.
i feel like nobody is going to respond to my problem just because i am a fairly new member. I really can't stand this problem because i test different roms so often and if i dislike them i like being able to go back to my old one with all of my data still there and not having to start over. its been driving me nuts for all this time. I have tried everything and nothing works.
i had this same problem on my droid incredible. my fix was a fresh wipe (factory reset, system, boot, and dalvik cache) and a fresh install of rom manager from which i reflashed my recovery. (the option that says Flash Clockworkmod Recovery) my install was messed up initally. maybe yours is similar.

I also have the Vision and I would highly recommend you try 4EXT Recovery instead of ClockworkMod. It's based on CWM, but with more options and great support. See my signature for the thread link.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
in clickwork recovery select 'mounts/storage' then select 'format boot' same for system. you will only want to do this when youve already got your rom zip file on your phone. the inc might have a different option list, cause that was automatic on my og droid

I had the same problem with clockwork, I just switched to Amon RA recovery! You will lose your clockwork backups, but Amon is so much nore "hassle free"
is Amon RA recovery supported in ROM Manager?
im going to try 4EXT and Amon Ra recovery ill see which works best for me
okay so apparently there is no amon ra for the g2/desire z. I tried ext4 recovery and i have the same problem. it is an md5 sum mismatch every time i create a back up the md5 sum is never a correct match no matter the recovery i use. I'm starting to think it might just be my sd card.
If anyone is still interested, I ended up buying a new sdcard and it works perfectly now. I am using 4EXT recovery and I recommend it to everyone.
need some help please. just did something pretty dumb in a moment of not thinking. i went into rom manager and flashed cwm recovery (I'm using Hairy Bean 1.51 with TWRP) over the damn TWRP recovery, then did a system backup through rom manager. now I can boot into the rom, but no chance of recovery (as i'm guessing there is a twrp/cwm and possibly jb/ics conflict - if the rom manager flashed ics cwm recovery)
how do I get back my twrp recovery?
NB. Rom manager shows both TWRP recovery as well as CWM flashed and I can choose which i want to use... but when I pick TWRP, I still cannot access recovery. Is there an ADB command I can use to remove CWM and then reinstall TWRP? (I already tried installing the TWRP over it hoping to overwrite, but both recoveries still exist)
FIXED, NM.

Been on the Samsung side of the street for the past four years so if it wasn't named after a accient Viking God then I'm lost However just a couple questions if I may: I am unlocked, rooted, recovery installed, & TA backed up however not real sure how the whole boot image flash works, does this need to be done everytime I go to flash a ROM? Also do I have to reflash recovery everytime I flash a ROM? just remember reading that somewhere, been trying to read all I can

You only need to flash a boot image once to get the recovery going if you have a locked bootloader then this will have to be done, if it is unlocked as you have said then you do not need to do this again. The recovery should stay how it is. Some kernels that you can flash have twrp and usually cwm included, when you flash it you'll have access to both.
Cool, welcome!
The recovery is included in the kernel (boot.img), so it's automatically updated/flashed every time you install a ROM zip through recovery. The very first time you install a CM/AOSP/etc ROM, you may have to first flash the boot image through fastboot, like you said, to get a recovery compatible with the ROM. I think you only have to do this when going from stock based recovery to AOSP based recovery.
Oops, got beaten.

Not quite correct but close
You have installed recovery (dual by [NUT]?). most ROMs are completable with both twrp and cwm. Just flash the zip for the rom (after making a backup. choose the recovery that is in the ROM*). if this fails then you can flash the boot.img from the zip with adb/fastboot (fastboot flash boot <boot_img_name>). most ROMs only contain one recovery
* CM based normally have cwm. Slim, omni, candy all use twrp from memory
Okay thanks guys very much appreciated, so if I'm understanding you correctly then I don't need to flash any "boot images" becuase I am already unlocked and on a non stock recovery(dual recovery by NUT) becuase the "boot image" is just the recovery? So since I already have nuts dual recovery then I should be good to
Enter TWRP
Nandroid, Wipe
Flash CM 11+Gapps
Reboot
???
If not correct please let me know, sorry just trying to make sure I'm understanding this correctly, and if not then my ass needs to go read some more ;+)

boot.img is the kernel (and ramdisk etc) + recovery
If you are going to flash CM the do it from cwm as then the nandroid backup can be flashed from the recovery that cm uses. other than that you are about right (wipe both caches and /data, dont wipe /system. the ROM will take care of this)
