Recovery and Flash_Image not working

I rooted my phone and was able to access Clockwork, but since then I have not been able to boot into recovery. I have gone through many troubleshooting steps including trying to use Rom Manager by clockworkmod to flash a new recovery, trying to go through to root process again and trying to use terminal and adb to flash a recovery. When I try flash_image, it says "flash_image: not found". Rom manager won't boot into recovery. My phone sticks at the exclamation screen when I try to manually boot into recovery. I can't use update.zip because that requires that you have the ability to user recovery. I haven't been able to find any other way to flash a recovery mod onto my system. Is there any way that I can just get the files that are supposed to be installed on the phone and the locations they are supposed to go to so I can just flash them one at a time? Or does anyone have another possible solution?
ESPRDIAG.zip
ESPRDIAG.nbh
ESPRIMG.zip
ESPRIMG.nbh
All those files are showing as missing when I start bootloader.

I think you need to re-root your device if not first. If it is rooted whatever rom you have selected to install needs to be in the root directory of your sdcard. Again before you can flash any rom you need to be rooted and have access to clockwork.
I hope that helps if not try this

Go through the root process again to get back to clockwork to flash a new ROM. Or follow the process to flash the engineering rom, which will save you from having to do all of that to get back in to clockwork recovery each time.

Finally got it to work, but is there any way that I can get it to go into Clockwork every time I boot into recovery without having to flash it again?

Flashing the engineering rom will enable you to leave update.zip on the root of your sdcard and just flash update.zip eachtime you get to recovery to get into clockwork. Or if you have flashed eng build you can start using rom manager to boot into clockwork recovery. Afaik that's the only way to boot into clockwork.

[Q] Can't boot into recovery

I have a stock EL29 rooted and here is all that I have done (in order):
Installed ClockwordMod ROM manager from the market
clicked flash recovery at the top.
now all I get is the warning sign with the android guy.
I can turn the phone off and boot back into normal, but still no recovery.
My goal here is to make a nandroid backup to flash a custom rom. I searched for previous posts about this and found nothing applicable.
Thanks

ROM manager shouldn't be used... it causes a bunch of problems.
you're better off using SFHUB's auto-root package. since you said you were rooted already, just choose option 'c' and install CWM. here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728
Reboot into recovery and nandroid

Thanks for your help! Worked like a charm.

[Q] TWRP not available in recovery

Had my Tab S 8.4 wifi (t700) rooted and working but decided I didn't like the custom rom I was on so went back to stock.
Now I can't seem to get TWRP working properly. Everytime I try to use it to install a rom or make a backup the tab reboots but only into stock recovery which then throws up E: Footer errors when I try to use it.
Anyone seen this before and have a solution? I am currently stuck on stock

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You will see E: Footer errors at stock recovery mode because stock recovery allows only samsung signed archive to sideload.
Or did you mean something different with E: Footer? You sentence is inaccurate.
For stock recovery image, I prepared a patched[/] stock recovery image, which will allow unsigned archives to sideload.

I was actually trying to find out why TWRP recovery is no longer available on my tablet. It was working but since loading a stock rom I no longer get the TWRP recovery only the stock one.
I have tried lots of combinations to try and get TWRP recovery working but nothing appears to work - I just get stock recovery.
I am using:
T700XXU1ANF9_T700BTU1ANG1_BTU stock rom
CF_AutoRoot_Port_T700_BeansTown106.tar.md5 to get root access with Super SU
TWRP 2.7
TWRP Manager from Play store with the recommended Busy Box installed
I am sure I am missing something but cannot see what it is - I obviously got it right before as I had it working but I have missed a step somewhere.

Try using Flashify from the playstore and flash the TWRP .img or .zip
The "dd" method is the most flawless method if your familiar with using terminal

Finally got things working. It would appear that it is all about the sequence you do things in.
1. Use odin to load stock rom
2. Set up tablet and let everything download and update
3. Use odin to get root
4. Ensure that root is working and up to date
5. Use odin to add TWRP
6. Install TWRP manager from play store
7. Install Busybox from play store and run installation in busybox
If you deviate from this sequence TWRP does not appear to work in recovery. Have now made successful backup and can start playing with custom roms again.
Thanks for all the advice.

Not to much excitement I hope. Limited to a couple Roms

Just FYI twrp IS recovery, when u restore to stock twrp is overwritten by the stock recovery. Twrp is not overwritten when you flash custom roms because recovery is not packaged in the zip file. But remember stock firmwares overwrite your recovery. Also please remember not to take ota's if you are using a custom recovery like twrp

[Q] How to replace Android System Recovery <3e> with ClockworkMod recovery (NEWBIE)

[Q] How to replace Android System Recovery <3e> with ClockworkMod recovery (NEWBIE)
Hie everyone!!!!!
About 2 days ago I was able to root my device GT-I9082 running android 4.2.2 then I decided to install a custom rom. However every time I try to reboot into recovery its showing "Android System Recovery <3e>".I have tried to install clockwordMod Recovery through ROM Manager and rebooted into recovery through the application but still it only shows Android System Recovery <3e>.I downloaded a ClockworkMod recovery with SELinux support (.tar) file but I dont know how to install it via Odin so that I can install the Custom rom. So my main question is how do I replace Android System Recovery <3e> with ClockworkMod recovery.I am sorry if its a silly question, its my first time installing a custom rom and i dont want to mess it up. All useful suggestions much appreciated, thank you

Can't Flash Recovery After Updating to 6.0

I've used numerous guides and attempted to flash EITHER TWRP or CWM using fastboot. The process appears to work without any issue, but when I try to reboot to recovery, I get the lovely droid with the red icon.
For some reason, TWRP manager crashes immediately when I attempt to initiate an install of the recovery from within the app (I'm now on the rooted ROM from Bad Boyz).
Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks

I got the same problem.... solutions, tips ?...thank you

I had the same problem. What you need to do is download the TWRP image and use the Nexus Root Toolkit to flash it (or fastboot commands if you're familiar with them) . First launch Advanced Utilities and then select Recovery under Fastboot Flash. In Other... you select your downloaded TWRP image, making sure the option Also flash "perm-recovery-signed.zip" is activated.
