I was going through the [guide] root in development section. Wanted to know what is the difference between the recovery_menu_v1-2.0.0.2 image and CWM Recovery image and why cannot I use the CWM recovery to root device with stock rom.
Thanks

I have an ATT nexus and was just able to apply the manual update and gain root without unlocking the bootloader
If I install a custom recovery I know that I likely won't get any additional OTA updates. Is it possible to back up my current recovery before installing a custom?
I was thinking of just renaming install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak and recovery-from-boot.p to recovery-from-boot.p.bak. Then just remove the custom recovery image and remove the .bak from the end of the files.
Will that re-install the stock recovery?
You can't root with stock
Full stock is a sticky in dev forum
It includes the recovery
Flash the custom one then if you want stock see the sticky

I'm already rooted with stock on FRF85B with an ATT phone.
i just wasn't sure if the stock recovery in the sticky would be the same as 85B for ATT so I wanted to backup whatever I'm currently using.
Ok then
Stock recovery is always the same, don't worry

Hope i help

You will also need clockworkmod recovery to easily flash themes onto your phone.
Take a look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
You'll basically need to flash a kernal or rom that includes CWM through the program, ODIN. After that, you can just copy the themes onto your internal SD card and install the theme via CWM menu, making sure that the phone and your rom are compatible.

+1 and the CWM kernels have a root option so its just going intoo the recovery menu selecting root and installing su+busybox and wola a rooted phone.

Its not necessary to use TWRP or CWM but its recommended because its better than stock recovery.. That's up to you whether you want to use it or not.. If you want to use either TWRP or CWM then download the appropriate CoCore E kernel because it has any one of them (depending on what version you downloaded)... You can refer the kernel's thread for instructions on how to install it..
Alternative you can use CWM with stock kernel too...

I am not sure what you really mean but you can reflash stock rom with Odin3. Download the firmware at http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
I would suggest you before starting flashing please go to TWRP recovery and do advanced wipe. Don't wipe internal storage to prevent data loss and then only you start flashing the firmware with Odin3. Of course you have to enter download mode by holding power button + volume down + home button together.
Easiest way is to flash pure Stock ROM in zip file (with or without root) via custom recovery. Make sure that stock recovery isn´t in zip file.

mm were i get the Stock ROM ?
And what you mean " Make sure that stock recovery isn´t in zip file." you mean i must delete the zip file twrp that i have in my phone?
ROM you can get for example here. You need to have flashable zip file with ROM (can be easily made for example with Android Kitchen).

but that will loose the root.. i think
Yes, but if you don't lose custom recovery, you can easily flash root via recovery.
Other option, maybe more comfortable for you:
1. Flash pure stock ROM via Odin.
2. Flash custom recovery via Odin.
3. Flash root bibnary via custom recovery.
You need to download the rom from samobile.com then split it and flash via odin, then you need to install a recovery again and root it again

Please xda developers help me how is the procedure too unlock them.Thank you bye
no need to root if you want to install a custom recovery, just flash the preferred recovery and boot into it after flashing. If needed you can flash supersu via recovery to gain root access
Ok thanks for replay first,can you send me some more info about this becouse i dont now how to make.Example what program or what buttons i need to push to make.

this thread should explain everything you need to know. If you want to install a custom recovery, download the .tar-file for CWM here https://mega.nz/#!Y5ERVQyS!Z80pUYlthdxZKXmFCmDbPr0SuqOyGIxXO0wySDNkigY and follow the instruction in the linked thread.
As mentioned after installing the custom recovery don't reboot your phone. Otherwise your custom recovery gets overwritten with stock recovery. You need to boot custom recovery first.
If you have further questions just ask =)
