So how does one flash TWRP from CWM?
Flash the zip in recovery. Reboot recovery and you will have twrp. Make sure its the latest version from their website.
UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER REQUIRED FOR BELOW RECOVERIES

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.
I had to revert to stock to recover from some bad flash using this procedure : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2641261
I would like to reinstall TWRP recovery so that it can be used to flash firmwares from zip files and also recover from my backup on my SD card. What is the correct way to do this? Which TWRP recovery should I use? Where should I download it from?
Thanks.

The twrp instructions are here:
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/214
The latest version available there is 2.7.1. I believe that there were some updates for "May devices".
There are 2.8 version in kuronsan's KK ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oma...rom-omate-truesmart-ironman-firmware-t2998434
The recovery image should be flashable as described on the twrp page.
(TWRP 2.8 adds MTP in recovery, which works much better for me.)
I've tried overwriting the recovery that comes with the latest stock from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2641261 with 2.7.0, 2.7.1 and 2.8 and I cannot enter recovery...
Edit : I've just flashed 2.6.3.0 and I was able to switch to recovery... knock on wood...
Hello
I have a problem that I can't flash any TWRP recovery using flashify or adb commands to flash any TWRP recovery, but it can flash the stock recovery img.
I'm using official NX507J 3.01 update, and want to flash the last Mokee version for that phone.
Any help?
Thank you

Almost same here but after flashing a custom rom it won't boot into recovery
I had the same issue. I could not install TWRP recovery because I could not get my Z7 Max to stop showing "Offline" in ADB. I found a work around to this was to first use an installer for CWM recovery.
This istaller uses ADB, but for some reason it is able to bring the device online and "sideload"? CWM recovery through a scripted interface. once installed you can go through the script again and select boot to recovery and it will restart your phone and load CWM.
You can now use CWM to install your ROMs and other zip files. If you prefer you can also use CWM to install a different recovery like TWRP recovery.
I will try to find the source.
In any case there seems to be an issue for some in getting the Z7 Max to connect properly to ADB. If anyone knows of a solution to this "device offline" issue please share.
