I installed TWRPrecovery using GooManager and now I want to uninstall it to use the CWM Recovery - how do I uninstall it? I uninstalled GooManager but the TWRP Recovery is still there.

You would have to install CWM over it. Although, there's no reason to use CWM over TWRP. Imo, TWRP is much better too!
I think if you use goo manager or rom manager to install CWM, it will overwrite/replace TWRP.
After that, if you want to get rid of your TWRP backups, just use file manager to delete the TWRP folder from your phones sd card.
That's what I've been doing to switch between recoveries. But I've found I really like TWRP, so I haven't done it in a while.

I was using the wonderful TWRP to flash and backup.
But since today I went into ROM Manager and updated to the new release of ClockWorkMod it is now using cwm as my default when I reboot into recovery. So how do I go back to using TWRP?
Easy method:
Goo Manager app from play store.
Options>Install TWRP
Still Easy Method:
Find the TWRP.img
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img

Instead of Goo Manager I use an app called Flash Image GUI.
Just flashed in the twrp .img file like you said and voila. Im back in twrp
Cheers! :-D
My phone is s-off and rooted but I can't install the CWM Recovery.
I tried many things but no luck yet. I did flash the other RUU file but same result.
I can go to the recovery screen but after press the ercovery. It go to the blue text CWM Recovery screen.
Looks like an old CWM Recovery I think. It doesn't flash any zip file.
How do I install the CWM Recovery?

open play store(android market) and find app named "GooManager" okay.then installed it.
now open Goomanger and you will see option named "install openrecovery script".
click on that.that will download twrp recovery and flash itself.
procedure is same as you installed previous recovery via rom manager.this time you ll install different recovery.and yeah TWRP recovery is touch recovery so now you dont need to use volume and power key to select items

I spent all day Yesterday for install the CWM Recovery. but Now I could install it. My problem is solved. Your only two advice. Thank you very much:good:
Hello folks,
after performing a more or less accidental factory reset I lost my SuperSU app (I am rooted and have TWRP 2.6.3.0 installed).To update the SU binary I need to boot into recovery. This seems somehow difficult on the LG 8.3, everybody seems to use Flashify (or similar apps) for that. But they do not work without SuperSU. Catch22.
The ultimate goal is to install CM11, but I am unsure how to proceed. How about this:
1) Reflash TWRP 2.6.3.0
2) Update to TWRP 2.6.3.2 using the Flashable zip v2.6.3.2 from here
3) Then flash CM11 using TWRP
Does that sound right? Thanks, Alex

Run the root process again. It should lay down SuperSU or SuperUser again (forget which one is actually used).

Thanks, repeating the root process worked
TOTAL NOOB HERE. So forgive me if I don't know the correct terminology and such.
I was in the process of updating my ROM from 4.1.2 to 4.3
The ROM stated that I needed to be running TWRP version 2.6.3.0 or 2.6.3.1. I checked on my phone and I have 2.5.0.0 installed. So I followed the link the ROM post and downloaded TWPR 2.6.3.1, and moved it to my SD card. I then did a nandroid backup and then flashed the VIP file for the recovery. Now when I try to boot into recovery I end up in a boot loop. I can boot the phone into the ROM just fine. Any suggestions as to what might have happened, or how I reinstall a recovery without having access to a recovery?
Thanks

Download goo manager from the play store, open it, hit settings, then install open recovery script.

No worries
I cant install TWRP Recovery through TWRP Manager. When I try to, I get this error:
Flashing recovery was unsuccessful. Either you already have this recovery installed or another error has occurred.”
I think this because i installed CWM and it may have blocked TWRP from installing. But I really dont know, I'm just speculating.
I can still go into TWRP Recovery through Rashr. But I want to go into it rhrough TWRP Mangaer. How do I get into TWRP Recovery through TWRP Manager?
use one of the toolkits to use ADB to manage things ! You'll be much happier
