So I tried to install CWM on my E975. It's currently on TWRP 2.4.3.0. Downloaded CWM, renamed it to cwm.img and moved it to the root of my phone storage.
I entered the following commands in terminal:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/cwm.img
It gave me:
failed with error: -1
The recovery wasn't flashed and I am still on TWRP 2.4.3.0. Can anyone can shed some light onto this? Thanks!

You can use rom manager and flash from there, (you'll have to pay for touch version). Possible to flash via rom toolbox pro. Also, Freegee let's you install cwmr now!
Why the terminal command didn't work? I I have no idea.

I forgot about FreeGee haha. You can re-run FreeGee on a CM ROMed LGOG that already has an unlocked bootloader?

ok you need to have clockworkmod installed...
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(insecure boot.img)
unzip boot.img.zip, boot to bootloader and
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
or flash JRN84D-insecure-boot.zip from recovery
-put the CWM-SuperSU-v0.92-mod.zip on your sd and flash
done. :good:
if you have problems...
flash Koush's Jellybean repack (IMM76I OR IMM30D) http://d-h.st/Gkh
If recovery isn't sticking for you, delete recovery-from-boot.p in /system
I can do this for the other superuser as well...this is chainfire's super su

the boot image is insecure...not necessarily needed
Oic.. thanks alot.
Is there any chance to pack the insecure kernel into cwm package as well?
I have no access to computer that allow me to apply fastboot flash. I am sure a lot of ppl will be in the same situation. Thanks alot.

Just flashed the two .zips. SuperSU is installed, but it says that the binary needs to be updated. When it tries to update it fails, and no root apps work.

Worked like a charm, I've got clockwork back after a little adb action and now I'm restoring some apps with titanium. Can't wait to see the development on this. Just think I almost sold this phone and bought a Galaxy S3 today, may wait a week or so now.
Thanks guys you are amazing!!!

Is there a reason why my CWM won't stick? I fastboot a new one in and right after, I can access CWM from the bootloader menu if I don't boot into the OS yet. However, once I do boot into the OS and use ADB to reboot into recovery, it goes back to the Android with the red triangle.
What am I doing wrong? I'm usually pretty good with this stuff.

still doesn't work, do you think you can try the other SuperUser app? D:

Did Flashify flash it successfully? How about doing the TWRP flash first? It's in the forums too. That way you can try through ADB and then send it to recovery through there.. And then flash the CWM.zip through the TWRP. I dunno anything about Flashify sadly. But it's a fix none the less.

I installed the KK ROM wit the TOT method and then rooted the phone and installed the CWM recovery as an apk. Now when I go into SU, it says I am not rooted. I tried 2 methods to root but unsuccessful. It boots into CWM recovery and then nothing. Do I need to reinstall the OS with the TOT method again? Any ideas?

Once the phone boots into the UI, use Freegee to install the latest recovery.

flash the hacked twrp. that gets me out of cwm bootloop.
Same problem here phone was rooted and then installed CWM and for some reason lost root. Its not a CWM bootloop.
When the root step requires "Apply Update from ADB" I cannot because CWM doesn't have that option.

I got bad news bro. I had to re TOT the phone and start from scratch. There is a CWM 6.0.4.4 floating around causing this issue. The phone loses root but it constantly boots into CWM when trying to root.
ROOT achieved, now need recovery!
OK, so I had to re TOT and get the phone back to factory state with 4.4. Then I was able to root successfully and now I am wondering how and which recovery to use. Could someone please post a link to Philz recovery and can I flash it with the same root toll with ADB sideload? THanks.
Ok I figured out how to get root back on my phone! Yay!
Run the same F240 root tool as usual, it will reboot phone into CWM recovery but you can't choose "apply update from ADB" so instead pick INSTALL ZIP, then choose INSTALL ZIP FROM SIDELOAD. Press any key on computer to load root files then at next step in CWM choose GO BACK, then choose REBOOT SYSTEM NOW. At next step in CWM will ask "Rom may flash stock recovery on boot. F1 This can not be undone." here I choose NO. Phone will reboot and root is restored. I think before I was scared and chose YES on this step and that's what lost my root.
Root Check Basic and SuperSU both show I am rooted and back to okay.

I used that CWM 6.0.4.4 recovery to install a custom recovery only. Once it flashes the recovery, reboot the phone. Answer No to the disclaimer in recovery and let the phone boot into kitkat. Then I used Freegee to install it's latest version of CWM. Ignore the warning if you get one in Freegee. It will install the newer recovery.

You'll loose root if you answer "Yes" to the disclaimer CWM throws when you try to reboot. Just answer "No" and you won't loose root.

You can install custom recovery through your stock rom,just rename your recovery to update.zip and place it in root of internal storage or external.now go to updater app and select update.

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

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