I installed it while flashing CF root with Odin, how can I flash it by itself? Do you know a guide or something?

Guides are all in the stickied faqs and guides .

As said guides are in the stickies. Just download cwm Odin flashable zip.

When you install some mods on cwm based recoveries it leads to a stock recovery restoration. There should be a warning when you reboot then asking you if you want to disable recovery flashing. You must say yes or it will flash stock recovery.
It can happen with superSu zip files, some stock roms, and so on.

What happens to the nandroids made using CWM? Are they usable by the TWRP?
Having used both, I strongly prefer TWRP.
Not sure Ranger, I only have that very first backup from CWM, haven't had a need to flash back to GB.

No, CVM and TWRP nandroids are not the same....CVM will not work on TWRP and vice versa

Try Rom Manager from Play Store.
You can boot in touch recovery by turning off your phone, then press and hold power button + home button + volume up
Wait until the recovery shows up and release your fingers.
Edit: Or just reflash cwm recovery using cwm apps if you want to use cwm apps for backup/restore

As I suggested earlier, use ROM Manager.
ROM manager is not the way I would suggest as it doesn't support many phones and is known to have caused a few bricks! Best bet Google! Find your recovery flash it thru the one u have if possible, or do it thru bootload USB

Don't use ROM manager to flash anything.
@OP just flash cf-root, that installs recovery when you flash it

There's a chance of it going wrong and bricking your phone, a lot of people will tell you not to use ROM manager to flash anything, downloading stuff with it is fine, but flash through cwm.
Better to be safe than sorry.

[Q] Stock Recovery

How to change custom recovery into stock? Any help will be appreciated, thanks
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda premium
Stock recovery is in stock rom extract.

Here you go
http://db.tt/3FLfUhoY
I did this just the other day.
If you want a version that is sure to be SDS safe then get mobile odin and the latest stock rom, select the rom file in odin but only flash the recovery partition.
