Have you looked at the 4EXT touch recovery thread in the Development section? If you are properly rooted, 4EXT touch recovery should be able to overwrite CWM without any issues.
Yeah i downloaded the 4EXTRecovery installer and chose the option to install the recovery. I got a message after sometime saying that the recovery had been successfully installed. But on rebooting it was still CWM.
Never mind. I just had to download the recovery.img and use fastboot to flash it manually.
Hi!
I hvae LG optimus 4x. I rooted my phone and wanted to install clockwork mode before changing ROM to cyanogenmod. When I installed clockwork it said I have to reboot in recovery mode, so I did it. Then my phone did not boot up and it has stucked in logo screen. I tried a few methods from this site, but it is still not working. Can anyone help, please?
Which method did you use to instal cwm?
What's your bootloader status?
Can you boot into recovery?
Can you boot into fastboot?
Can you use adb?

I have used KDZ installer. I can boot into fastboot, but there is no recovery options. I can only reboot phone, make factory reset, apply data from ADB, wipe cache partition, wipe nv partition and I can acces Toggle console VART log.
Get twrp or cwm from development section
place <recovery.img> in platform-tools folder
type in terminal "fastboot flash boot recovery.img"
If it works you should be able to access recovery and flash rom/restore backup from there
Is your bootloader unlocked?

You installed CWM before unlocking your bootloader? Seriously?
And people ask me why I keep saying "Go away, search and read so that you know what you're doing"! :banghead:

Then my method isn't going to work
You will have to reflash stock kdz and start fresh
only way to install cwm with locked bl, afaik is using rom manager from playstore
If I go back to the stock recovery from TWRP will I still be rooted? I'd like to go back to stock recovery for the remote-wipe capabilities of android device manager.
Thanks
I don't personally know the method, but yes you can restore the stock recovery and still be rooted. Its on the forum here somewhere.
Just know that feature will put a drain on your battery life. Just a heads up.

take the recovery image from the fxz plug your phone into your pc with usb cable. Put the phone into fast boot open a command prompt to where you have the recovery.img and type into the command prompt.... fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and you have the stock recovery back.

I know how to restore the stock recovery. Just curious if I will still be rooted after doing so.

Yes you will remain rooted. I'm running mine that way.
I have been using "fastboot boot recovery.img" to load into TWRP after OTA updates to load SuperSU as I am only rooted using the stock ROM. However, after this recent update (2.16.651.4) that includes the WiFi Calling and Android 4.4.3, when I run the command it just causes the phone to reboot. It does not reboot into TWRP, which is my recovery.img file.
I found a Nexus thread talking about having to add a kernel command line for the Nexus after a certain version of hboot, so I am not sure if it is related.
Does anyone know how to fastboot boot now with the latest update? I would like to avoid replacing my stock recovery with TWRP and just continue to boot into it. Alternatively, is there any other way to install supersu?
Thank you,
Ben

As a quick work around flash twrp onto the device, once done with it then flash the factory recovery back, Also check to make sure your bootloader didn't relock after update.
stock recovery from the update.

Thank you for the reply. I thought about taking that approach, but I was really hoping someone would have an answer on why the procedure wasn't working now. My bootloader is still unlocked.
I found this as an approach someone did on the Nexus 4 for a similar issue:
fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot customrecovery.img
Thoughts?

I did just now flash TWRP into recovery, loaded SuperSU, and then flashed your recovery.img back to the phone. So thank you very much for the recovery.img.
I'd still like to know if fastboot boot can still work, and also if there is a way in the future I can get my own recovery.img (possibly back it up before taking an OTA)?

not sure about the fastboot issue, but to backup your recovery any time just go to adb and type the following
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43 of=/sdcard2/recovery.img
this will copy your recovery to the external sdcard
Thank you for those steps. I do not have an external SD card installed, so I modified it to store the recovery.img on sdcard instead.
Now I can always fastboot flash twrp and then back to stock recovery.
Thank you again!

You would need root to do this. Not being able to use "fastboot boot" you would just be backing up the flashed recovery. Possibly towel root temp root, but I would assume it has been patched in newest update.
So I am S-On with a non-HK M8
I was on stock rooted 4.4.2 and I flashed the stock recovery and took the OTA
Now I am on 4.4.3 and still have SuperSU installed (not rooted)
Everything is working fine, but when I try to boot to recovery i get the red triangle with the !
Any suggestions?

That's the stock recovery. Did you ever flash a custom recovery back on after the OTA?

I am s-on & unlocked but i was able to flash the stock recovery from sd card to take the ota.
Is it possible to flash twrp back in the same way?

Yes, after the OTA, just flash TWRP back through fastboot and then re-flash SuperSU to get root back.

I just applied the update released today, and I tried to save the recovery.img file before flashing TWRP. However, it kept giving me permission denied. Do you have the recovery.img file from the update released today so I can use it for the next update?

What's the output in the terminal when you fastboot flash recovery?
rooting problem
It doesn't show any error as such.
In the command window it shows successful.
But when I click on recovery it reboots back to fast boot.
Like for a second it shows the screen which reads 'this build is only for developers'
But then instead of opening Twrp it reboots back to fast boot.
Hey guys,
I`m using x526. The other day I rooted the device with TWRP and flashed AOSP extended. But now I can`t seem to enter into TWRP. When I try to enter the recovery mode using the hard keys, it loads into the stock recovery. Even when using the option to boot into recovery in the AOSP extended restart option, it still boots into the stock recovery.So is there any way to remove/disable the stock recovery.Or even any other methods to enter TWRP?. I flashed the latest twrp (3.1.1) from the official site via ADB. Also AEX was pre-rooted with magisk

If your phone is rooted you can flash TWRP from app TWRP found in playstore

Twrp is already there, I can't just access it due to stock recovery. I flashed twrp twice and can enter the twrp just after flashing. If I exit twrp I can't access it again unless I reflash it

When you flash a new recovery the old one will be replaced. If you used the code fastboot boot recovery recovery.img the phone just boots to the recovery and not flash it. So please use the code fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
