I want to flash the new TWRP recovery using CWM (Clockworkmod Rec), but i have a backup file (stock rom) from my CWM,
My question is:
IF i want to get back to stock how can i replace the new TWRP with CWM and restore my stock ROM ?
OR is it possible to restore CWM backup file with TWRP ?
Thanks :fingers-crossed:
Its not possible to restore CWM recovery backup under TWRP recovery
Make a new backup after flashing TWRP recovery
Another option is return to CWM recovery and after that restoring your stock rom CWM backup

Hey, so I decided to root my Mini. That part worked (installed the zip from stock recovery) but then I attempted to install the CWM recovery using the update zip method and I don't know whether I should of used ODIN instead because I can't backup my current ROM.
If I tried flashing CWM recovery using ODIN , will it overwrite existing recovery and will it allow me to backup my current ROM. Can't mount system can't mount cache errors??
Just to verify also, I wipe user data before installing new custom ROM ? Been a while since i last installed one.
Thanks for your help!
Flashing CWM will overwrite current recovery, you'd have to flash stock to remove it
As for creating backups you can't backup stock roms because of how they work, the closest to stock that can be backed up (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176927)

Hi can i flash by odin a custom kernel with custom recovery for restore my android 4.4 without flashing stock rom then root, flash cwm and so on?
You can flash philz kernel. It has cwm. But I am it sure if you can restore a 4.4 backup with it. May be you can. But if it fails, you can install raw kernel as you will have cwm.
what 4.4 recovery was the backup made with? if made with twrp you will need twrp recovery so flash omni rom then restore backup.
if cwm backup then you will need cwm recovery with selinux support like raw r4
are you unable to boot to recovery and only get download mode if so you will start with philz kernel with odin
Yes im unable to load recovery i must flash by odin a tar.md5 kernel? Am i right?
Yes try that. Also try to remove the battery for 10 seconds. Remove the USB cable. Then reseat the battery and try to boot into recovery
Hi,
I saved a backup of Sony's firmware using TWRP's backup tool on my Xperia's SD card before moving to a custom ROM. The backup has my data, system, trim, and a few other partitions. The custom ROM came with CWM and my Sony firmware has TWRP, rooted. If I decide not to use the custom ROM, could I use CWM to flash my backup that has TWRP? Or do I use flashtool to flash .534 and then flash my backup?
Sorry for the questions.
You can use the backup
However, cmw and twrp backups may have a different format depending on your choices of backup format in twrp
best bet is to just install dual recovery then use the same recovery to restore the backup that you made it with
Did anyone take backup of stock recovery
