HEY GUYS everytime i attempt to flash a rom in TWRP that uses an aroma installer, it just reboots to the TWRP splash screen. im fastbooting the boot.img, altho that doesnt work; i use flash im GUI to flash the boot.img with the rest of the modules, but still nothing help?????
What version of twrp are you using? I would update twrp if you aren't on the latest since some roms require newer versions of recovery

i am using v 2.1.8, or whichever version comes with the one click method .........thanks for the quick response! is there an updated version i can try??
Go to teamwin and download the latest, if you aren't familiar with fastboot then download the zip update and rename it following the instructions listed and in recovery mount external and copy the zip. Do not place the zip on internal, it will cause the phone to endlessly install and reboot (or reboot if you cancel) if you don't have a full system to boot to
easiest way is to download goo manager app.. top rite click the box.. then hit install openrecoveryscript.. that will install the latest twrp.. :good:
If it's helpful to anyone else, I made a copy of TWRP and Philz recoveries that are flashable from a custom recovery. I do this because I find it easier to change the recovery I am using from a flashable zip rather than using adb or fastboot.
As a check I have flashed Philz from TWRP and TWRP from Philz on my own device without issue, but the usual disclaimer is still in effect. Whatever you do with this is not my fault.
Anyone is free to modify these zips for other recovery versions. All that needs to be done is to replace the "recovery.img" file inside of the zip.

Information
Questions:
- What is the difference between normal recovery and these recoveries?
If you install a normal CWM/TWRP/Philz release on an unlocked P769, you will notice that the screen is inverted/mirrored and/or the the touch is also wonky. The above uploaded recoveries have been especially adapted to work correctly, so there is no-more mirror issue and the touch works fine as well. After flashing the below fix too, the touch should work while on your ROM as well.
Please note, you may have to also flash this fix (cwm_ts_fix_p769) for the wonky touchscreen after flashing the recovery. Get it here
- How to install recovery?
Option 1:
a. Go to recovery and flash the zip
Option 2:
a. Extract the recovery.img file from the zip and copy to your internal/external SD card on phone
b. Install Rashr from here
c. Flash the recovery from within the application by browsing for it
Option 3:
a. Extract the recovery.img file from the zip and copy to your computer
b. Use fastboot to install recovery, see here
c. Use the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Option 4:
a. Via flash_image, use this guide.
- Are these recoveries bug-free?
I have tested all the recoveries on my device (T-Mobile P769) and it does boot into them and you can flash zip files, I can't comment on functionality more than that, however if there is an issue with these recoveries then it is most likely an issue with the original recovery as well.
- How are these recoveries created?
These recoveries are created simply by using kuma82's method, described here, which is replacing the kernel (zimage) from the original recoveries and replacing with the kernal from bobZhome's CWM recovery .
- Will you keep updating the recoveries?
I will try my best, I do not compile the recoveries from the original sources, because I don't have the time or know how to, however if there is a new recovery release and required by the users, I will gladly mod it and upload it.
Thanks to:
- @artit for his TWRP
- @artas182x for his CWM 6.0.3.7 and 2nd-init
- @dhiru1602 for his device tree
- @Polloos for his compiled recoveries
- @kuma82 for his guidance on unlocking and making these recoveries
- @BobZhome for creating the CWM recovery, from which the kernel(zimage) was extracted
- Philz, TWRP, CWM for their excellent work and awesome recoveries.
Please inform people that their bootloader must be unlocked to flash these and thanks for 2.7 twrp.
Thanks, I forgot to add that. Done.
Hello alI, I need some help and advice. I have rooted my Sony Xperia Z2 D6503 (5.1.1) using Kingroot. I have installed SuperSU and it requires a TWRP or CWM recovery to update the binary. Where can I find the right one for my phone? The ROM manager app can`t find one. Also a tutorial would be helpful on how to install it. Now, my next question is: can I flash ROMs, install themes, enjoy all the other things of a rooted phone without a CWM recovery? Could you also guide me through my next steps after rooting? Any suggestions will be helpful and appreciated.
Super su doesn't require recovery to update the binaries... There is an option (when the su app says that the binaries need to be updated) that allows you to try and install the binaries via installing them and then simply rebooting your phone.
Additionally, search for some sort of recovery as 99,99% of the ROMs are meant to be installed via recoveries.
If you want to do something more than just rooting your phone you have to use a recovery.
I dont want MIUI and useless extra app so i have to install custom rom.
First step is unlock bootlader with mi unlock app okay. But my question is how can i install custom rom ?
TWRP or Clockwork Mod ???
Using TWRP i have to install it first after that i have to install recovery.img and lazyflasher unless my phone gonna brick and its too complicated.
What about Clockwork Mod ?? is it different method ?
I guess i found my path.
1)Installing ROM MANAGER from Play Store of course with rooted device.
2)Install inside of app Clockwork Mod
3)Select custom rom from SD Card and select Gapps,backup,wipe data...
and device gonna reboot do everything automatic is that true and simple ?
My question is using rom manager and install custom rom like that or i have to something extra.
Sorry about my english...
I don't have the phone yet, but i had redmi note 3 before and installing twrp was simply putting it in fastboot mode and using adb command "Flash recovery xxxxx.img" and you are set, considering you have an unlocked bootloader that is. then you follow the installing instructions given by the developer, usually (flash rom.zip followed by gapps.zip). But ofcourse i don't have the phone so take what i said as a refernce only and wait for someone else' reply. as of clockwork recovery, i think twrp is easier to use but there is generally no major diffrence.
Forgot Clockworkmod even existed. Have been using TWRP for ages.
cwm has reached end of support.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860
use twrp
CWM is dead, twrp is one and only option otherwise there is also Red wolf recovery available.
Steps to install a custom Rom.
Unlock bootloader
Flash TWRP
Flash lazyflasher.zip, reboot
Now DL any Rom.zip and desired Gapps package
Boot into TWRP again
Backup (just incase)
wipe > advanced wipe > wipe everything except internal / SD card
Flash firmware.zip, if you're coming from marshmallow based Miui
Flash Rom.zip followed by Gapps
?? ¿
Profit
