[Q] Lost recovery - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

After foolishly flashing cwm with goomanager,I managed to remove my recovery mode. Booting to recovery makes the phone go into odin mode and say unable to boot. Can I flash the custom recovery or do I have to flash a stock image?

Just use the aio root and recovery tool from your PC...first use prep for recovery option then install the custom cwm or twrp versions from there...after that you can flash a newer version from there...make sure you download loki'd versions only...this is assuming you are still mkd...if not you are lucky not to have bricked your s4

Were you on Honeycomb or ICS when you flashed CWM? There are stock recoveries available for both and they are not cross-compatible.
Attached is stock HC recovery (from an international firmware) and stock ICS recovery (from Springboard update).

[Q] how to uninstall twrp and cwm recovery?

Hello Friends,
I have got twrp and cwm recovery installed in my phone.When i start my phone in recovery it runs in cwm recovery and when i reboot my phone iit runs twrp instead of my rom.I tried wiping the data through cwm recovery, but with no success.I have got stock jb installed on my phone. Please help.
You saying that phone cant boot ? Try to flash again the recovery you want (Flash the right recovery! For Hboot 1.24 flash ics, for 1.25 flash jb) then go to recovery) Or just flash the stock recovery ? You can find it in the forum.

You installed twrp to boot partition, that's why it boots directly into twrp (using fastboot flash boot twrp.img) You need to flash TWRP to recovery partition (using fastboot flash recovery twrp.img). Then enter recovery, install ROM, and flash boot image to boot partition (fastboot flash boot boot.img).

thank you for your help.i flash boot boot.img file and twrp got replaced.but i have come up with a new problem now.my phone is s- on and its not accepting the rom which i downloaded from here(2.20.401.5_Deodexed). i thought because my phone is s-on it might accept the original jb rom(ROM_JB_STOCK_HTC_DESIRE_X_INDIA_HTC__038) but still even this version is not installing. so now my phone is not having any rom.what should i do???

Recovery issue

I have done fasboot format of my phone and erased recovery. So i flashed boot.img of stock rom After flashing boot image i tried to reboot to recovery mode but it is stuck at boot logo. What should i do to boot into stock recovery? Thanks
As far as I know, the rmn3 doesn't have a stock recovery installed.
You can, however, use MiFlash to flash a MIUI ROM. Run through setup, and you should be able to flash a custom recovery from there.
But why?

People shift from stock recoveries to custom recoveries like TWRP! But why do u want to even do the vice versa?

Flash miui rom using miflash tool,, root access will be lost and whatever the problem is,, should be resolved! Then try flashing recovery using fastboot and make sure the driver's see properly installed on your pc! :cyclops:

Houston, we have a problem!

Okay.. So I flashed TWRP recovery to my 7040n with Flashify, but I forgot to unlock my bootloader first, so I consequently ended up breaking my recovery mode. Knowing that you don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash stock images, though, I tried to flash a stock recovery (also via Flashify). Then, when I try to boot into recovery mode, I end up getting my phone stuck in a bootloop. I mean, I can't boot into recovery or ANYTHING! I could try flashing a new ROM and recovery via PC, but I need to know how to flash the files without a working recovery. If I could flash them via ADB/fastboot somehow, PLEASE let me know!

Trying to boot custom recovery boots into Odin mode instead.

I flashed TWRP from their app (i am rooted) but when it says success and I try to boot into the custom recovery it boots into Odin mode instead.
EDIT: I tried the .img version instead of the .tar and it won't boot into recovery at all now
