Lost recovery when trying to flash 4.3 ROM

Ok so I am not the greatest when it comes to flashing ROMs but so far I have managed to get by.
I went from MMuzzyROM 4.2.2 to [ROM] [4.3] [JSS15J]. I wiped my data/dalvick/cache, flashed the new ROM and Gaaps and installed SuperuserSU. As of right now SuperuserSU will not install and I get an installation error. And when using Rom Manager I can not reboot into recovery. And there is a bit more, when I try and boot into recovery from the holding the volume and power button down, after choosing recovery the android with the error shows up. From what I understand is that the 4.3 rom I flashed removed the stock recovery, but I am just confused how to get back recovery.
My main question is did I loose root and how can I get the recovery option back.
Thanks, Noel

4.3 is buggy with root right now. You can use rom manager to reflash cwmrecovery or you can use goomanager to install twrp

USE TWRP!

When trying to flash CWR I get an error message. I am pretty sure I am unrooted without an option for recovery and stuck on 4.3?

Ok I guess I am just too confused. Downloading TWRP gives me an image file which I don't understand how to install, because I thought I need recovery to do it? When in fastboot I can select recovery but I get the error android.

what error message?
what's the fastboot command you're using to flash recovery.
about loosing your recovery after flashing/boot/reboot OS for the first time, it's probably the same that 4.2 had
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/install-recovery.sh

The error message is when using the clockwork mod app to install the recovery, once downloaded it states an error has occurred. Then when trying TWRP I am following these steps I get "fastboot is not a recognizable command..." I am pretty lost as you can tell and am thankful for the help.

Mainly because I thought if I had rooted my device and done all this once, I should remember how to do it again. But through ignorance I thought I could and be able to remember the steps and what not. I'll read through it and figure it out, it was just a moment of panic of losing the option of recovery that I have had for a long time and not being able to use it means (or I think it means) I am just stuck of 4.3 for a bit and hopefully the ROM isn't too bad.

Sorry dude, but don't think this guide belongs in this section, although it's really useful for everyone owning vietnamese Gio!

Well, hello there. I'm confused about how to install CM11 on Gio. Reading page by page on CM11 thread and also CWM 6.0.4.5 thread I saw many people have bluescreen on recovery and got stuck when revert back to stock. That happens on Gio with Vietnamese and Chinese build factory. I have my Gio on Indonesia, on the back I can see 'Dibuat Di Korea Selatan' which mean in english is 'Made In South Korea'. So, if I install the CWM 6.0.4.5, I don't have any bluescreen on recovery? I'm affraid to bricking my Gio, mine already hardbrick 2 times and its painful :|

My Gio is also made in South Korea and it got bluescreen with CWM 6.0.4.5. I need to blind flash the CM11 rom.
In case anything goes wrong, you can simply odin the recovery (cwm-5.0.2.7-ext4only-odin.tar.md5) to the Gio and recover the previous backup.

,you can install cwm 6.0.4.5 and use adb only problem is you will be stucked with cm11 unless you are able to flash with adb other cwm(is possible see general forum somewere)

@Gyovany96
I don't think that I have a Korean/Chinese model. I live in Germany so I think it's a European model. Where can I look to see if it's Korean/Chinese or not?
And it's maybe important to know that I didn't flashed the cwm 6.0.3.2 with the old recovery. I did it with the terminal emulator and the command "flash_image".

Please advise the command you use to flash the Rom. Also any command can flash recovery via terminal emulator?
Thanks!

Open terminal emulator.
'su'
'flash_image recovery /path/to/recovery/ recovery.img'
That's it... it worked on my phone with cm7...
(You can get the 'recovery.img' file by extracting the zip file)

Zenfone 2- Need To Go Back To Stock Recovery For OTA

How to remove twrp and put stock recovery
Hi guys, can you please help me with this problem?
Yesterday i went for CM 12.1 but didn't like it at all, I installed it via twrp...
So now i flashed asus rom 2.20.40.59, but i want to put OTA and i can't do it with TWRP.How can i put stock recovery and remove twrp? I tried several methods, but none of them worked for me...
Thanks in advance!

I couldnt put stock recovery either.

Please take a look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596
the method of flashing stock recovery is the same as flashing the twrp.
Here's a link to the stock recovery collection from the same thread:
http://www.mediafire.com/folder/setyy42t2cymy#dy87k1a0f8m81

You can flash any recovery without PC by using [ROOT] Rashr - Flash Tool.
Search at play store.

I try to flash stock recovery with adb (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) but when I try to enter in recovery I got an Error screen.
I also noticed in the bootloader screen that the product_name is Z008, but I have Z00A with 4Gb ram..
Any solution?
edit: do you know if are there other link for recovery stock files?

Thats so strange about ur phone model!!
I've got zenfone ze550ml, model is z008, 2 GB ram . for recovery I downloaded this one: http://www.mediafire.com/folder/setyy42t2cymy#ma3w61exgyy06
and perhaps u have already converted into stock recovery.
When u get an error screen while trying to go to recovery mode (probablu u saw a dead android bot with an error) press and hold power button, then (while holding power button) quickly press Vol up and release and then also release power button..
hope this helps. i had the same error screen

I tried to use your method but no result then I tried to flash stock rom with twrp and I don't know why, this time work(maybe because I wipe data and cache first, or maybe I was on cyanogen rom and not paranoid). Then i flash the stock recovery and apply ota. Now the model on bootloader is z00A again.
OT: Anyway every rom, with his bugs, is better than asus stock. Damn!

Asus stock would have been good without the bloat wares.

I tried to flash stock rom in my asus zenfone 2, but it said that, "the package is for Z008 but this is Z00A" but my phone is ZE550ML (Z008). I dun know why I can't get back to stock rom using twrp. I also tried to side load "update.zip" from ADB sideload using stock recovery but it also shows error. this time it says "This package is older than the Build"

Yes, from/in recovery. And better use shortest command (e.g. "adb sideload d:\adb\update.zip") or you'll get an error.

Your bootloader will be untouched, recovery will be updated (if you flash newer zip) or untouched (for same version).

Please help me, regarding Android System Recovery

Please help me, regarding Android System Recovery
I actually thought I was booted into CWM Recovery, but I ended up booting into Android System Recovery. And I happen to wipe partition and factory reset already.
Now there is no rom to boot, and I am unable to flash custom rom due to the signature verification errors.
Is there anyway for me to recover from this?
Would appreciate your help.

Yes that's what I did, but I seem to be not able to get to CWM Recovery and it always goes to Android System Recovery.
Anyway I recovered my system by flashing a stock rom so that I can restart.
How can I install CWM Recovery properly and make the device boot to CWM?

This is normal behaviour. After you restore using Odin, recovery would always be Android System Recovery. You need to flash a CWM recovery via temporary CWM first, to get CWM recovery.
Lookup for temporary CWM here in forum. And you'll find the thread that I mean.

Both the wifi are not working. I was not able to connect to my D-Link 868L router.

TWRP install on G4 H815 20A mm, doesn't stick (unlocked bootloader by LG official)

Hi,
I get TWRP running on phone , but when I boot into recovery , I always get the Standard Recovery, only option being a factory reset. Have opted for this factory reset and that is exactly what I get, no TWRP :crying:
Thanks

Also if you reboot to recovery through TWRP itself, it won't stick? If not: Is rooting an option for you? If yes: Try Flashify and flash it through this nifty little app .

This happened to me, too. Here is what i did:
Boot your device into fastboot mode via adb, straight up boot to recovery ("fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-h815.img"), transfer the recovery image to your device, then flash it from within TWRP (there is an option for that within the normal install menu, its called "install image" or something like that). Hope this helps, it did for me.
Edit: Just realized you already found a solution. Never mind.

Ive the same problem. I unlocked the bootloader by the official procedure. Then i tried to flash twrp but it doesnt install truly. It always appear the stock recovery. I tried also clockrecovery but nothing. No recovery wants to get installed. Pls help me i want a custom rom on my g4

use twrp v2.8.7.0 on 20A mm....... adb reboot bootloader, fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-h815.img, and to double check you have recovery,adb reboot recovery and then flash STOCK-20a-ROOTED

sorry, fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-h815.img, instead of fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-h815.img worked for me after hours and hours of boot loops and restoring

you can upgrade twrp with the twrp manager from playstore (once youve got twrp and root of course)
