This is a nooby question but I'm new to all this as I came to the S4 from an iPhone 5. Can anyone please help me out on telling how I can remove clockworkmod recovery and installed TWRP instead? Thanks guys appreciate the help. I posted a screenshot of my build and android version if that's of any help to a more specific reply. Thanks again for the help.

Find a flashable zip of it, believe theres one posted in the orig dev section and flash it in cwm or you can download goo manager and flash with that.

I would go to the thread in original development. There is a flashable for 2.5.0.2 which is the version you want installed right now. I believe hxlanthus posted it. I believe I spelled that right.

Alright will do. I think I'll go with the GooManager method. Thanks guys!

Just an FYI; the new TWRP version (2.6.3.0) has been a liitle buggy on some phones; mine included. It would not be a bad idea to have the 2.5.0.2 zip as a backup just in case. You can flash within TWRP if needed.
EDIT: Here's the 2.5.0.2 zip file:

Pretty sure you can flash a new recovery through TWRP. Don't quote me though... haha not sure.

Hi.
I'm looking for confirmation.
I downloaded the latest cwm touch recovery from their site. It's a img file.
I'd like to flash it from recovery. Is it safe to replace the img from the zip file from another recovery with the cwm one?
It should work, but is there anything I need to pay attention to?
Thanks!

You do know their official app 'rom manager' supports clockworkmod installing AND updating and when u start it it shows you if you have the latest recovery mod installed?:banghead:

Yes I am aware of that. Too bad I am to cheap to pay for the premium version which allows the automated flashing of the touch version.

Touch version, in my opionion, is worse than non touch. Roms are for theming and fun, launchers as well.
Clockworkmod and RECOVERY states are for serious stuff, a wrong touch and u can damage your phone. Much better to have to press the buttons...

But yeah try to flash. The worst is you wont be able to flash it or ur clockworkmod will stop working. In that case get to pc and reflash older clockwork mod by following a safe guide....

Used TWRP or CWM Touch on thousands of flashed never a problem.
Any miss hit is not going to damage your phone and i find with TRWP you are less likely to miss the correct sequence as you always hit the right buttons .

Just to answer to the original question, yes it should be safe. I have done so many times with twrp and it has always worked.

You can use rom toolbox or goo manager. Most people like to use goo. Personally, I use rtb. If you can't get it to automatically do it, you can download the zip and manually flash it in the twrp version that you already have installed. For future reference, the link below is the thread for twrp that you can refer to that has this information.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35402954
I'm assuming you already have a copy installed? If so, download the latest version from here and flash it manually.
Thanks guys, got it updated with no problems!!

what version of recovery, meaning there should be a version # 6.0.?.?
or are you getting a status 7? which means your recovery needs to be updated
you have rooted right?
just basic information im asking, but folks need to know
I'm sorry I always forget something when I'm asking a question on here. But yes I am rooted and it says my CWM-RECOVERY version is 5.5.0.4 if I need to update which version would I want or would you suggest going with TWRP? Answer to your other question it is saying (STATUS 7)

6.0.4.3 is the most recent version and you may have to look back a page or so, but in the General forum there is a thread titled CWM 6.0.4.3 touch recovery and there is a flashable file.
TWRP is fine too, but it depends on what else you may flash in the future. the 4.4 roms dont work with TWRP.
there is a TWRP thread also though in Original Development. some had been having problems with latest version, so you may want to go to the last page and read a bit.
but updating your recovery will solve your problem
have fun
id help out a little more, except i am at work and they may frown upon this if they catch me
