Do you have a recovery flashable ".zip" for COTR? Have you searched the COTR forum for one?
Haven't found one but looking for one

Option 1: flash COTR .zip from TWRP.
Option 2: Run option 4(?) from the Kindle Fire Utility
I found a simpler way to do it. I done my research like i should have and went to the website for COTR. You download smirkit-v2.6 and then either boot into recovery(like i did) or open Goomanager. You flash smirkit then boot into OS and opened Rom Toolbox or Rom Manager and then Terminal Emulator. You can install it from there.
I wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU !!!!!! to you and soupmagnet for your help at least you'all answered most people in these forums don't seem to care.

Is there a flashable CWM touch edition that I can download the zip and flash in CWM to get back to the touch edition. I stupidly messed up and flashed the recovery from rom manager

It's in ROM Manager. Just re-flash it.
This may be cheap of me but it tells me that a touch edition is available for $1.99. Does it give you the touch edition free if you upgrade to ROM manager paid?

Not sure. I don't use the touch version, nor do I use ROM Manager. If it's not free, then I guess you shouldn't really be asking for it.
download the recovery from here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager/
use fastboot to flash it.
Thank you. But when you say use fast boot to flash it, would I need a computer or do I flash it through the current CWM
youd need a computer.
No computer needed.
1. Download .IMG
2. Place file on root of sdcard
3. (Optional) rename file recovery.img
4. In terminal,
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

OK I tried it and I keep getting image not found. I did rename it

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 ?
Su is working fine and I m on UVLH2 .
Thanks in advance

Since you already have superuser. Why not install via Rom manager or install twrp
Recovery doesn't stick for some weird reason when flashing through Odin on that firmware

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.

Thank you Doc and Teo . Twrp is running good. Did nadroid backup also.
I haven't done much with my phone lately and I'm thinking about updating my software cause of some issues.
I was thinking about using the PARANOIDandroid 2.99 and it said I should update my recovery version and I was wondering how I should do that?
Any point in the right direction would be cool. I'm not a noob just out of date.
download goo manager and use it to flash the latest twrp or you could get the zip file posted in the twrp thread and flash that in recovery then reboot..
I believe officially, twrp doesn't supply flashable zips; if downloaded from their website, you'll have to use fastboot.
'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img'

I updated my recovery trough the ROM manager app. Its an easy way, just press flash CWM. Works perfectly for me.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Goo manager is the same thing as ROM manager, only its free and flashes a much better recovery.
Go with twrp

have you tried a twrp recovery img? have you tried the toolkit for qualcomm 7.5.1 by skipsoft? you can also use a root file explorer to "mount the system folder as r/w. Rename the files /system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh (Requires Root). Now when you flash you will NOT be overwritten after a reboot." (Skippen, M.,"SkipSoft", 2012). You should really try that out. it will solve a lot of your issues. Mark did an excellent job at this toolkit and i higher eurg and recommend you donate to his kit. especially if it works and fixes your phone!

Flash custom recovery via fasrboot and then flash latest supersu via recovery.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
A little more direction than that please? Maybe a link to a walkthrough? Last time I had to flash a custom recovery it wouldn't root properly. I would rather have a walkthrough than brickb my phone.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
The galaxy nexus is very hard to brick..
1. Download a custom recovery from the clockworkmod site.
2. Boot into fastboot and type: fastboot flash recovery the-name-of-the-recovery-you-just-downloaded.img (for this to work you need to paste the downloaded recovery.img into the fastboot folder)
3. Boot into recovery and select "install zip from sd card" (assuming you already downloaded the lastest supersu.zip)
4. Flash the latest supersu and wipe both cache and dalvik cache.
5. Reboot and enjoy.
