Hello. I want to install TWRP because it will provide me possibility to install some .zip modifications on my Xperia V (running CM12). But I don't know whether after installing TWRP I will have to install ROM again, or previous ROM will be still working?
Greetings,
Feliks
Changing the recovery won't affect your rom.

So I'm running Cwm version 5.8.1.5 and on stock rom. Now I want to put a custom kitkat rom . so for that, do I need to upgrade my cwm to 6.0.4.5?If so then how do I do it( wanna confirm)?
And just so that the process is streamlined, can anyone tell me the exact procedure before and after flashing the rom via CWM?

If you want back-up apps and data with titanium back-up.
Put all the files you need on your phone (CWM kitkat compatible, rom, gapps) reboot into recovery, nandroid back-up, flash the kitkat compatible CWM, reboot into recovery and follow the steps in the op of the rom you want to install.
Hi,
I've been fiddling around with Lollipop for the Z2 device today and I've got a question.
Are 5.1.1 based custom ROMs root-possible? I've first managed to make a stock pre-rooted 5.1.1 .ftf and everything was fine, both root and recovery, but my phone was overheating like crazy on it so I decided to try a custom ROM, Paranoid Android to be exact. I got the latest stable from their site and almost successfully installed it using the TWRP. Almost, because I forgot to re-flash the recovery. Then it turned out I can't root it and couldn't find a way to do so. I've since gone back to 4.4.2 using Flashtool, rooted it and installed the XZDualRecovery.
So, my question(s) is/are, what did I do wrong? Would flashing the flashable XZDualRecovery after the custom ROM and gapps sufficied? Or maybe flashing the SuperSU package? Or maybe, is it impossible to have a rooted custom ROM on 5.1.1? And if isn't, I'd be really grateful if someone supplied me with a hint or something, because I don't want to go through all the trouble only to downgrade again.
I'm using this for recovery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785598
And used this guide for the prerooted .ftf, though I guess it's not related at all to my questions, except the SuperSU package I'm thinking of using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: OK, I've tried my own advice and flashed SuperSU and flashable XZDualRecovery after flashing the custom ROM and Gapps. Now the phone is rooted, but the custom recovery doesn't stick. I tried installing again using the installer version, which soft rebooted into the custom recovery, but after the manual boot the recovery was gone and the garbled screens were back.
My question has changed then, what is the way to having a custom recovery on a custom ROM on lollipop 5.1.1?
EDIT2: Nvm fixed it... , I went to NUT's website and made recovery using his kernel creator.
Sorry for wasting space then and I hope my post helps someone eventually.
You can flash superSU via recovery on any rom
Worst that can happen is it bootloops.
Hello.I would like to try the latest Marshmallow rom.As i am on latest LP..Can i flash the rom with same recovery?(nut's dual recovery) and later return to my restored LP rom with again the same recovery?
Thanks.
anyone?at least can someone tell me which version of supersu can i put inside prf creator?
hey there
Make a backup of your LP ROM.
In the first post you can find a prerooted MM ROM for the SGP611 (WiFi Version), i just flashed it and it worked.
Here
Also you can restore your /data from your Backup in recovery after flashing the ROM, so you don't have to set up everything again (you can also use TitaniumBackup).
The only thing you have to do is reinstalling the xposed framework if you were using it.
And you're done.
I don't know if you can switch back to LP, since the MM Rom flashed new Firmware. Haven't tried it yet.
Also i use TWRP as recovery and i would suggest you that too.
thanks.is there any method for rooting with supersu as i trust it more?Also the rom from this thread is the latest Marshmallow?Also with restore i mean if i for some reason dont like Marshmallow..Will i be able to restore my previous Lollipop backup from twrp?
So i wanted to install custom rom(cyanogenmod 14.1) on my S3 device I realized that my device has already CWM (v5.5.0.4 :: CF -v1.5 ). I can flash cyanogenmod 14.1 with no issues but I can't flash gapps. After installing gapps, I get a lot of errors when I boot(Setup wizard has stopped). I tried 2 different versions of gapps(aroma,nano) both of them didn't work. I started to think that my CWM version is the issue. I want to flash another Custom Recovery like newer version of CWM of TWRP but as I said my charging port is broken. I just want my device to have android nougat with google apps. I hope I can find a solution
Download the TWRP App from Google play and install. You could also search for a flashable TWRP recovery und Update within TWRP to latest version by flashing the .img file.
The problem wont be the recovery. Make sure gapps is the correct one for your device. Check the software versions and cross reference them against Apkmirror.com.
Beamed in by telepathy.
That's a problem of Cyanogenmod 13 / 14.
Wipe your Cache/System/Data Partitions and reflash Cyanogenmod 14.1. Then don't boot up, you've to install the gapps package directly after that.
Make sure that you have downloaded the ARM 7.1 gapps-package.
You can flash twrp or stock rom from 'mobile odin'. Or you can download flashable twrp.zip....but flashing stock ROM requires additional download
I solved the problem. The problem was recovery and i knew it. I downloaded the apk of TWRP App from their official website. It worked flawlessly. After that i Flashed Cyanogenmod 14.1 then gapps with the latest version of TWRP and perfect! Everything works without any problem. I hope this answer is helpful for the other people having the same issue.
Hi.I just saw that it is possible to install stock ROM via custom recovery,just by editing it.
Here is the video I saw: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqOE5qtFKDk.
Basically,I want to try this on my Huawei Y6 SCL-L01,which now it is running CM 12.1 with TWRP 3.0.2 and SuperSU(forgot the version).
My questions are:
1.Will it work?
2.Will it reinstall stock recovery,unroot and relock bootloader?
3.Will it work fine after installing stock rom?(when I restored nandroid with TWRP it wouldn't recognise my SIM Card.)
Any advices?I really want to get back to stock.
EDIT: Here is the download for Stock ROM : http://consumer.huawei.com/nl-en/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=77268
