So, I flashed CM10 nightly 11/8. Dirty flash over a previous nightly, just cache and dalvik wipe. Now I can't boot to recovery, it just hangs at the cyan boot logo. Was using TWRP and I made sure to click the inject twrp box. Everything else works well and normally, aside from no recovery. I know the correct answer is to odin to stock and start fresh. However, does anybody know of a way to re-flash twrp or clockwork without access to recovery. I would like a quick temp fix for a few days if there is one. Thanks in advance!

U can just use odin to flash cwm. Look for the 5.x version thread for cwm and there's a .tar flashable file somewhere there. Just flash it in odin and you should be good. Since ur already rooted it should stick.

I'm no Odin pro. Do I need the victory pit file too? Also what box do I put the cwm tar ball in? I appreciate the help.

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do not flash the tar file for cwm, that is bml only... there is no .tar for an mtd recovery for this phone... sorry, but if you lost recovery on mtd, sadly the only way to get it back is to odin to stock...
Word. Thanks for the save. I didn't think of the bml/mtd issue. I guess no short cuts this time. Thanks again guys.

Ya it doesn't work if you're on mtd, you'll get error on cwm and can't flash anything, even you flash twrp, you'll get error
One solution..
Odin to stock and odin cwm again

I think there IS (hopefully) a way of flashing MTD recovery without returning to stock. Maybe... grab a recovery.img from the ROM package, put it in SD card, and go to Terminal Emulator on phone. Then...
Command:
su
cd /sdcard
flash_image recovery recovery.img
This works on my good'ol (sold) G1 and Milestone... but don't know if this works on MTD. Anyway, give it a shot

Well, I ended up Odining back to stock and starting over. After a crappy night of a bad cable and battery CPR, I got it working. I was using TWRP and I suspect that something went wrong in the re-injection process. All is well now. Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions

Any updates made to the recovery? On 1.0.0.0 wipe data does not appear to be working. Also when you backup to internal SD it skips android_secure because it is looking for it on internal SD.

Don't do this... if your on mtd, which you are if your using twrp you can't odin in any recovery... you either have to odin to complete stock or hope the restore.zip ends up working... or a kernel flash works....

I rooted my phone by odin method . Flashing clockwork mod recovery over stock recovery . And somehow I was able to install Superuser.
But now when I try to reboot in recovery it takes me to stock recovery mode not custom recovery.
I tried both recovery and they work for a while and after some time they dont.
Why is this happening ?

Thats weird...so you can reboot into custom recovery a few times and eventually it goes back to stock? Or can you only boot custom once then it reverts?
First, look for these files and if there, delete or rename them.
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Then reinstall recovery and see if it works now.
If theyre not there, good!....well maybe!
Have you tried any other method of installing recovery?
Try using my favorite tool, Mobile Odin.
Free lite version here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
(Dont forget to download the flash kernel further down the page)
Or buy full version on play store.
Download twrp here:
http://d-h.st/pNQ
Rename to recovery.img
Open Mobile Odin and tap Recovery and select that file.
Do not wipe.
Tap and confirm Flash Firmware.
Let me know how that goes.

Did you Odin back to stock? Or did you flash the .zip? There was two files on that thread I linked you to. The top one was an Odin file. The bottom one was the .zip to flash.
To use Odin DL the file then unzip the .tar and Odin it.

I deleted it because it was a stupid question that I should have known the answer to. It was when you recover a nandroid does the recovery and kernel from when you made the android come with it.
My problem was I am and was on king kang and decided to flash a modem. I didn't realize the jb modems were only for tw roms so when I had no data I though I needed to update prl and profile. I flashed a stock rooted rom from repository, it was rooted but didn't mention had no recovery. Odin kept falling when trying to put a new recovery on. And after 5 hours of fail I finally succeed with a one click from repository. After flashing a modem (fi27) I think. I just wanted to make sure I want going to be stuck with no recovery again because that really sucked. I didn't mention this in the original question but all is well now and I'm back on king kang
