I've rooted my international N7100 with CF-Auto-Root. I wanted to install TWRP recovery today, so I downloaded GooManager from the PlayStore, downloaded the latest TWRP recovery, installed it and when I try to get into custom recovery it doesn't open TWRP! It opens something that is similar to CWM custom recovery and it says:
Android system recovery <3e>
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
Why can't I get into TWRP? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

You seem to have the stock recovery, so the install was not successful. Instead of GooManager, try to install twrp with ODIN or even with mobile ODIN (Playstore). As an alternative to twrp, you can also try philz recovery, which is an excellent recovery.

I flashed CWM via Odin and rebooted into Recovery Mode, but there is no option to flash a mod or tar from internal storage. I have 5 options in my CWM menu and they are as follows.
reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
I have the mods loaded on the root of my internal storage, but CWM wont let me get to them.
I tried flashing a stock recovery via Odin, failed.
I can turn on my phone and it works just fine, but I cannot get CWM to let me root the phone.
Any help?

Are you sure you flashd clockwork mod and not stock? It sounds like stock recovery is what you have. try flashing this in
Odin https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16085428/CWM-6.0.1.2/recovery.tar.md5
Sounds like stock recovery to me not clockwork recovery

This kind of happened to me, I have rooted plenty of devices prior to my SG3 and with CWM flashed through Odin 3.04 (Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time) checked. Everything passed as it should have and phone reboots normally. Upon powering down i went into recovery finding the stock recovery still there, NOT CWM's recovery.
Doing some research I found that if you check ONLY F. Reset Time and NOT Auto Reboot you will flash the device with a PASS and then the Download mode screen will stay on the device. Making sure that you have the USB cable removed at this point remove the battery. Replace the battery and reboot into recovery mode and you will see that your phone goes into Clockworkmod Recovery! BUT you only get this once, you have to repeat the steps using ODIN to flash CWM every time you want to use it, what a pain in the butt, especially if you do not have Triangle Away. I belive this is because of the new OTA update from Sprint (so I've heard).
Now i have the same kind of issue because apparently when i run CWM's ROM manager it says i have no CWM recovery installed after i have done it counless times.
Has anyone ran into this use as well? OP is this kind of the same issue you have? at the top of your Recovery screen it will tell you clear as day if you are using the stock recovery or CWM.
I say take the guessing out of it...Use TWRP

The phone is with stock rom + root. Installed Rom Manager, then CWM.
CWM version is 5.5.0.0 and it is showing:
Current recovery: ClockworkMod 6.0.1.9
But when I select Reboot into recovery = Stock Android recovery appears.
If I shut it down and enter manually = again stock recovery.
Why?

I wanted to use ROM Manager and CWM, too, but was told only TWRP is the only recovery that works and not to even try installing CWM. It doesn't work with Samsung devices.

I read the problem is that stock Samsung roms always restore stock recovery and in order to make CWM work you have to delete the stock recovery file.
Q. I flashed CWM but each time I reboot the Stock Recovery is back
There is an auto recovery restore system on Android that will reflash the Stock Recovery if you flash CWM on a Stock Rom.
Use Root Explorer to Mount the system folder as R/W (or use a free app from the Market). Delete the file recovery-from-boot.p from /system. Now when you flash CWM Recovery it will NOT be overwritten after a reboot. You can also use the Toolkit to rename the files if you wish.

That is recovery. It is the stock recovery. You can only make images with custom recovery like twrp. You have to install twrp recovery with odin.
Are you trying to make a backup of your system? You can only do any of that in custom recovery. I don't understand what you mean by "make a recovery image". It doesn't mean the same thing as it does in Windows. Making a recovery image in Android is making a copy of the recovery system itself in image form, or creating one.
Those options you see on screen, that IS Android stock recovery. It's options are limited.
I think when you say you want to make a recovery image, you really mean you want to create a nandroid backup of your system. Which is a sort of " snapshot" of your system right now that can be restored later to go back to that point.
yes, you are correct. i am trying to make a nandroid back up. I have installed clockwork rom manager and twrp from the android market, maybe i need to install it using odin. I will look for a tutorial on that. I want to try marshmallow and a couple of other roms, but i want to make sure i have a good backup ya know. Thank you for the reply

Rom manager and twrp manager are just apps. They can only install the actual recovery system on a rooted device. If not rooted, you must use odin.
Download odin on your PC. Then download a .tar of twrp recovery from their site twrp.me
Use odin to flash twrp onto your phone.
I have rooted my Samsung Tab 3 SM T-110 running kitkat 4.4.2 an year back and flashed CWM but i forgot about it so what i did was flashed CWM again but it didn't flashed properly i guess and i didn't remember that i installed CWM instead of TWRP so after downloading CWM ROM Manager i rather selected TWRP... Then i booted into recovery mode through the ROM Manager app and now i am not able to go back to system.... I have tried factory reset and formatting dalvik cache but nothing seems to work, the phone gets back to the recovery screen... Please Help.
Thank You
install latest recovery for your device and flash it using odin.
Should fix your issue and boot your device to touchwiz
On the SM-T110/111 is only allowed to Boot Ingo Recovery with the Button Combi, if you try an automaticly Reboot by APP you have an Bootloop to the Recovery
I was using 4.0.0 stock with twrp and root. Tried to install the 4.0.2 update but every boot just took me back to recovery. Tried wiping clean, no change. Tried installing stock recovery v2.0, recovery would hang. Tried using new twrp 3.0.3 and I could get back in, but any ROM, stock or not I installed, would not stick.. Even twrp would warn me "no os installed. reboot anyway?" even when I had just installed a ROM. So in the end I flashed OOS 3.2.8 with twrp and then flashed stock recovery. At this point I'm pretty much at factory stock at v3.2.8 with stock recovery v1.0. Now I'm trying to update to 4.0.2 via OTA and for the 3rd time already I have received a installation failed message and rebooted to system. The first time I thought it was because I disconnected VPN after starting the download, so I downloaded a second and a third time. I don't want to resort to sideloading again because I fear I might get the same no OS installed problem I got when I tried to install 4.0.2 in the first place. Does anyone have any insight on what is wrong?
Steps:
1. Install latest Official or Modified TWRP ( 3.0.3/ 3.0.3 version 14 by eng.stk)
2. Enter into recovery. Connect phone to PC and copy downloaded ROM file.
3. Wipe everything in the recovery- Data, System, cache and Dalvic. It will erase everything.
4. Flash ROM zip after completing, don't reboot phone. Reboot to recovery again, and then reboot phone.
If u reboot phone directly after flashing ROM, u will loose TWRP.
Even twrp would warn me "no os installed. reboot anyway?" even when I had just installed a ROM.

This is pretty normal for nougat OOS. I've faced it for all 3 ROMs i flashed. Don't worry, your ROM was flashed successfully. You can mount and check the /system partition, you can see your ROM files there.
So here's what worked for me. (considering you are on ext4 /data)
1. Flash latest official twrp recovert ext4 version or use the file system swapper zip if it doesn't decrypt your data in recovery. TWRP has some issues as of now and mounts f2fs as default, so you just need to flash the file system swapper zip in order to swap it to ext4 by default.
2. Wipe /system /cache and dalvik cache.
3. Flash full 4.0.2 ROM zip, should be 1.4 GB in size.
4. Flash TWRP image again just in case.
5. Reboot to recovery, not to system.
6. Flash stable 2.79 Super Su and you are good to go.
Thanks for the tip, however I don't mind losing twrp, I only want to get stock unaltered update and this procedure does not help in this

Have you tried this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/guide-flashing-oos-v4-0-1-custom-rom-t3537757
P.S. I think you did, but I'm just asking.
Thanks for the tip, but I fixed it. Ended up flashing v3.2.8 via twrp and installed OTA to 4.0.1 via sideload. Recovery would not boot unless first fully booted into the system. After that sideloaded 4.0.2 via OTA and now back to complete stock.
Thanks guys!
