Greetings-
Seems most flash instructions use TWRP or CW. The one I am looking at calls for doing a Nandroid backup, which as I understand, is done via stock recovery. Right? Well how do I install TWRP without messing up my stock recovery?
A nandroid is just a back up done with twrp ....really u may think hard about doing this with your phone because you will be asking us how to fix your brick soon

From what I understand and have experienced, you can't create or restore a nandroid backup with the stock recovery. That's one of the main reasons I rooted and installed TWRP.

CWM installed fine when I rooted but since it seems most of the Dev's are preferring TWRP to CWM I was thinking about getting rid of the CWM and installing TWRP.
I looked around but didn't see just how to do this. Anybody got a link to instructions or know what I need to do?
OR.... Am I worrying about something stupid and shouldn't worry about it?

I would switch to TWRP. All you need to do is flash TWRP right over CWM. You don't need to erase CWM first. Just follow the instructions for installing TWRP, and you'll be good.

Is it possible to just install it through terminal emulator now that we have root?

Not to my knowledge. Teamwin recommended installing it as a PG86IMG.zip for now, as that's the most reliable way to install it. You could also use fastboot to flash it if you'd want. Those are the only two ways I know to install it.
Actually, it looks like you can use Joeykrim's flash GUI app would do that...maybe research how to use it for that.

my opinion is Teamwins recovery wil become the standard , nothing against clockwork . Amon Ra was the king of recoveries in the EVO4G days or atleast in my mind it was . I flashed the Teamwin recovery using the PG86IMG.zip . Went very smoothly without a hitch . My only advice is when you flash to Teamwin make a backup of your stock set up then let the flashing addiction kick in .

Is the same true if I want to go back to CWM? Can I use ROM Manager to install CWM over TWRP?

Yes. There's a new touch recovery available. Search the play store for 4ext. Its a touch recovery.

Latest Twrp works well. Only issues I seen in the latest was the time is off by 3 hours in the recovery and it doesn't seem to charge no red light.. But flashes everything right..
Hopefully this fixes a issue where the phone wasn't charging to green while off...
I've just started to use 4ext and so far I have no issues. TWRP works well also. I did get some restarts while in TWRP.
4eXT is going to become the standard you just don't know it yet...
(used Amon Ra, Clockwork Mod,TWRP and now 4eXT.)

Then any way to make a complete backup like Nandroid? to reset the phone incase of problems when Flashing ROMs?
How are you Finns flash a rom without a custom recovery? Stock recovery doesn't allow for custom rom flashing
I have ClockworkMod Recovery and was able to install Clean Rom but can not install any thing else. I use to use TWRP and like it better. My question is how can I go back to it and not break my phone?

There is a flashable zip in the twrp thread to install 2.5.0.2 right from recovery. For some reason I can't upload it otherwise I would have
You can also use the one click tool which has an option to install twrp 2.5.0.2. i used it today.

So a somewhat related question here. I installed twrp with goomanager after rooting and all the installation instructions I see for roms say to use a loki'd recovery. As I understand it, it's just another installation method. Does it matter?
I'm still on stock I'd like to flash one of 4.4.2 ROMs. However, most of them have line in instructions that latest CWM is required. Since CF-Auto-Root does not contain it, I was wondering if anything can go wrong if I use that root method? Should I proceed with any other root method instead?

If your planning to flash a custom rom straight away you do not need to root (custom roms are already rooted) Flash cwm with odin and well you know the rest about what to do

Hi,
You can use these steps to flash CWM or a recovery of your choice via Odin:

In addition, I personally prefer [i93xx][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch.
Hope this helps.

When should I backup EFS? Just after I flash CWM, so before flashing another ROM?

ASAP as far the threads here stipulate. I did 2 backups of my EFS the moment i got my SGS3. I was however, only able to accomplish this by first flashing a custom recovery. Once the custom recovery was installed, (I was and still am using Philz Touch) the first thing I did was backup my EFS folder.

Yep like oreo27 said before flashing any custom roms backup your EFS preferably while you are still on your original rom that your phone came with and make a couple of backups and keep copies on computer.
You will also find that some roms have options to backup your EFS before flashing that particular rom you can never have too many backups ...

The ROM I installed (NeatROM S3) included the option to backup EFS during the Aroma install process, and it's ticked by default. I'm not sure if all ROMs are this good at reminding you
So I finally tried some AOSP, but missed my camera immensely so I went to switch back to my backup that I made in TWRP.
Unfortunately AOSP roms use CWM recovery and it won't recognize my TWRP so I've tried to redo the Dual Recovery method but since I no longer have stock kernel it fails.
Now I've also tried to use fastboot to flash a boot.img which I thought was a stock kernel....but obviously I was wrong or it didn't want to work.
Either way as of now I'm using FlashTool to flash stock image, then root, then install DualRecovery again and THEN restore backup.
Does anyone know where I went wrong and hopefully provide a faster solution in case I go back to trying ASOP again? Maybe backup in CWM next time?
Now I do have to flashable DualRecovery.zip that I did try in CWM but it didn't work either, I'm guessing since I didn't have stock kernel...
Thanks in advanced. Why didn't Sony just have a dedicated recovery partition!

Thanks, I thought about that but I didn't want any other kernel than stock. Couldn't find stock, but I went the long route and now I'm back in business!

the recoveries in the original development sections are actualy stock kernels with recovery, you could use those instead if you dont want dooms modded/custom kernel

Well I did try to use the dual recovery but it didn't work. It says it is only for stock kernel so I didn't expect it to, but I had to try...
@ZPaul2Fresh8
EDIT: DON'T INSTALL IF YOU STILL WANT TO USE CM!!!
It won't boot the system of cm if you flashed the twrp img, just flash it if you want to go to a backup!

It was very easy for me, at the end i had a twrp 2.7.0.0 in my cm11'd Z2, you need pc, and usb cable, and fastboot and adb drivers, lol its way easier than flashing .ftf, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2764971 and download the zip and extract it, follow this tout: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752270 and you will be all good...
