I've got a SGS4 (I9506) with Cyanogen Mod 13.0 and CWM and I want to switch to LineageOS 15.1 which states I should use TWRP.
1. Does it make a difference whether I use CWM or TWRP?
2. How exactly would I proceed to replace CWM with TWRP?
The only answer I found while searching was to "just use GooManager from the Play Store"...
Thanks in advance
Simple you going to go on twrp and see if a offical twrp exist for your device and if not go on the xda page for your phone and see if any modified twrp bulids exist for your phone and then you flash the twrp image in your recovery and reboot recovery will pop up and now you have twrp I hope this works...

1. It makes difference by not booting into rom when you flash with cwm or older versions of twrp
2. Download twrp from https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=3700668719832239230 .... and flash it with odin..
or extract that .tar and you will find recovery.img then flash that .img with flashify app if you are rooted..
Hope this helps

So I was on Exizentence ROM and wanted to try out CM11, so I did a backup just in case I didn't like it. Well I don't and now I can't get into twrp recovery...help.
I downloaded the TWRP app from the play store and flashed the TWRP recovery ...and now I don't have recovery. I can boot into recovery. My phone works and all but I would love to go back to the other stock ROM.

you cant install recovery normaly to xperias
twrp does not support Z2
it is required to have a unlocked bootloader
you can use flashtool to do that
you can also use flashtool to install recovery

you can reinstall recovery using nuts recovery for locked bootloaders
or if you know how you can use flashtool to flash one of the recoveries found in the dev sections

I do not think you will be lol if you soft brick your phone. use nuts dual recovery installer to get recoveries back. boot to recovery and flash a new rom, failing that use flashtool to go back to stock and start again. once new rom is on flash nuts dual recovery again
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...
That's right. I was a TWRP install and I was without any recovery
I do to install stock again?

So I tried to install twrp on my friends s6 edge 6.0.1, and when I flash zip with flashify app, phone restarts and it just flashes black/white screen, then I need to flash stock rom with odin to get it working, does anyone know the fix for this issue? I was using latest twrp zip.

Did you flash the twrp .img?
You know you can flash twrp directly from flashify? It will automatically download and flash the correct version.
If not...
Flash twrp through Odin that is the best way.

I think you can flash a twrp img file from twrp recovery itself ('Install' and look for 'Images', you should be able to browse to the new recovery img on your internal storage, or if you're rooted you can use an app like Flashify and just download the new recovery, select it through the app and flash.
Thanks for the reply but....
