Lost recovery - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I was updating my twrp recovery from 2.7.0.1 to 2.7.1.0 using flashify.
I noticed flashify was unable to begin downloading the recovery image, so I do loaded it from the Internet browser.
Now when I try to reboot into recovery, I get the download screen instead.
Can't manually boot into recovery either as I get an error message saying the same.
Can someone assist me here?

Do you have a supersu. If not download supersu and then try to install Goomanager from the play store.

Try extracting that TWRP zip you downloaded and get the Recovery.IMG file from it.
Then use Flashify's option to flash a recovery image. Find the one you extracted and you should be good. Course you can make sure your SuperSu is all set too like previously mentioned.

Did exactly that and got twrp back. But trying to install the latest version 2.7.1.0 and flashify just hangs.
Extracted the image file but it doesn't update to 2.7.1.0 and still on 2.7.0.1. Odd

[Q] TWRP update to 2.4

I am currently running TWRP 2.3.1.0 and would like to update it to the most current version. Is there a specific process that I have to go through in order to update it correctly, or can I just download if from Goomanager and install it without any additional steps?
Thanks
Goomanager should work fine assuming you're rooted

This is what I did.
I do mine via fastboot, it's pretty easy just run fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and just make sure the TWRP is in your fastboot folder and you replace recovery.img with the latest file name you downloaded. GooManger should be much easier if you don't wanna use fastboot.

Recovery Flashable Recoveries

here are the latest cwm/twrp recoveries made by dhacker29 in recovery flashable format:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B-53iD-71B3iTWhzNVc0QkdJSkk&usp=sharing
they can't be flashed with stock recovery, can be flashed only with existing cwm/twrp. if you're unlocked but running stock recovery, they can be flashed with safestrap.
all thanks to dhacker29!

So instead of using rsd to go back to stock, we can flash this as we would a custom ROM?
I can't seem to update TWRP, trying to flash using my current version of TWRP.

Thank you very much
Edit: I just fastbooted in TWRP 2.6.3.2 but when in TWRP it shows 2.6.3.0 still. It said it updated though through fastboot.

no, these zips update your cwm/twrp recovery to the latest version. if you want to avoid using rsd, make a nandroid of your stock unmodified system.

i have no idea what the problem could be. i flashed the new twrp with cwm, rebooted recovery, and it shows 2.6.3.2.
you did extract the recovery.img from the zip before fastbooting, correct?
you know what, i downloaded the img file from DHackers Android Hosting. Let me download the ZIP file and flash it through TWRP.

heh, well you got the image straight from the source, shouldn't have any problems with it. the ones in the zip files are unmodified except for being renamed to generic "recovery.img" (so i don't have to modify the updater-scripts for each one).
actually, just realized that twrp for the x still shows as 2.6.3.0, i was thinking of the new razr m twrp which does show 2.6.3.2. you can tell it's updated by the haptic feedback though.

Thank you. I figured it was updated because of the new vibration under settings.
Been driving myself nuts. I fastbooted it through fastboot, mfastboot, and mxfastboot.
Went back to hashcodes 2.6.3.1 then back.
Thank you for confirming.
Edit: DHacker just confirmed on twitter that he forgot to update a script so it will show 2.6.3 but all is well.

So will the CWM work on a 4.4 VZW Dev Ed? If so, can I flash it with TWRP? I know theres a CWM on the forums, but someone said you should only use TWRP with 4.4.

Correct. But would you need CWM to flash CWM, or could you use TWRP to flash CWM and it would overwrite TWRP?

Won't matter. I used twrp to flash the new twrp. Or use twrp to flash cwm. Shouldn't matter.

I've never flashed a recovery through a recovery. I've only ever used ADB. You can do two things.
1) Extract the zip file to remove the recovery img
2) If the OP doesn't mind me posting this you can go to DHacker's files and get the CWM recovery img he has there.
On the rezound I could take a .IMG recovery and rename it to PH98IMG.img, boot into bootloader, and it would auto flash the recovery... Does this method not work on the moto X?

Hi There,
Well you are asking How to Root and Flash a Custom TWRP recovery on your device WITHOUT USING A PC.
Well i am not sure that this will root your device or not but you should try this.
*Download FramaRoot
*Follow the Steps and Reboot you maybe asked to choose 1 option among 3 you may choose the 2nd one.
------------------------------------------
Now Comes the TWRP recovery
I am 100% sure that this will work.
Download the TWRP Recovery for you device from www.twrp.com
or google for it.
Download it in either .zip extension or .img
*Then Download Flashify
*Install it on your Device and Click On Recovery then chose the format you have downloaded the recovery in.
*Browse to the folder that contains TWRP and choose the file and click flash.
Note: If flashify crashes i,e the app closes by itself then use Flash Recovery.
If helped click Thanks

What version of TWRP are did you install?
I had that same problem with the newest TWRP 2.8.6.0, so I downgraded to TWRP 2.8.5.0 and flashed Superuser 2.46.. See if that helps!

i had the same problem, and this method from another thread fixed it for me, using 2.8.6.0
Captain_Throwback said:
There's no installation of SuperSU in that log.
But if you already have a stock backup, let's do this:
Under Advanced, choose Terminal, press the select button to start it in the root folder, and then type this command:
Code:
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system /system
Then run the SuperSU installer zip.

Please read the TWRP thread. Everything you need is there.
And that'll prevent you from losing the ability to ever take an OTA . . . .
