Im looking for preferably the latest TWRP in Tar format so I can load it with Odin. I currently have CWM but would rather have TWRP.
I tried GooManager but keep getting the "webpage not found error". I tried Recovery Tools but didn't have success.I tried ROM Manager but it
keeps loading CWM. Still noobish so flashing with terminal emulator is foreign territory. Please help.

Here are the download links for the d2att recoveries straight from TWRP's site.
FYI, GooManager installs TWRP and ROM Manager installs CWM. Also, the latest official TWRP recovery won't flash 4.4 ROMs, CWM on the other hand can.
Here's the link to the Unofficial TWRP 2.6.3.1 which supports 4.4 ROMs. It's a zip file that can only be flashed through a recovery though.
Thanks for the reply and information. For some reason I just like TWRP and coupled with the fact that I am stuck makes me want it more.
Whenever i download the tar file under that link, it extracts to a img file. What am I doing wrong?
Edit: Got it working, I used flashify from play store and flashed latest TWRP image file in less than 5 seconds.
On to the next adventure.

Your welcome, I'm glad that everything worked out for you.
Also, you're not supposed to extract the tar file, it's meant to be flashed though Odin. The img file is meant to be installed via the terminal emulator.

Hey XDA,
I have a rooted S3 AT&T running stock rom with no recovery. I would like to install CWM Recovery, however I noticed it was an .img file, and Odin can only flash .tar files. So is it possible to use MobileODIN to flash cwm recovery or am I stuck to using the adb code to flash it. I have tried using CWM Rom manager app to flash/install cwm recovery however it is giving me an error ("Error downloading CWM Recovery) whenever I try to download the cwm recovery image from within the app. So will the mobile odin method work???
Thanks in advance XDA!!
Hi, another alternative is to use an app called "Flashify" off the Play Store,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
You can use this to flash recovery images and it has some useful tools, too. I have not used it before, so I can't recommend from experience but it has great reviews off the Play Store. As for the recovery images, you can use this link, find your device and download the latest version of CWM
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Again this is all information, and I am in no way, shape, or form responsible for anything and everything that may/may not happen to your device. Hope this helps!
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
Newb here to Odin/Philz.
I have a zip containing recovery.img. I think Odin v3.07 is looking for a tar or md5. anyone know how I need to proceed? Looking to change the recovery to try out CM 12.1.
Before I get slammed to RTFM, and search is your tool, which perhaps I deserve, I have been searching, and the only downloadable copy of Philz I have found for d2lte/d2spr is "philz_touch_6.57.5-d2lte.zoip", which has the .img inside it.
TIA...Eric
If I remember right the philz_touch_6.48.4-d2lte.zip is a flashable zip. No need for odin.
Edit: I just noticed the name of your zip is different from the one I use but a tar is what you would normally use in odin.
If it's a flashable zip, how would I load it onto a stock rom?
All the threads I have read so far say to load a bootloader from Odin, but no mention of Philz, only CWM or TWRP. I assumed that Philz would be the same, but I found a thread which is the "official" Philz thread, and the link within it for the file is dead.
I just reread the thread, and it says "Flash the above in recovery and then do a "reboot recovery" to get into Philz Touch!"
Would that be the stock recovery?
Hi,
I tried to flash a Lollipop ROM on my N2, but TWRP (2.6) only says "FAILED". Also wiping/formating everything doesn't help so I tried to flash TWRP 2.8.6 as a .tar with Odin. It succeeded and reboot but showed only the TWRP startscreen. Installing a 5.1 PA zip with odin (unzipped and zipped to .tar) also doesn't work, it just failed. And trying to install TWRP again only loads a long time and then failes.
Anybody any suggestion? It's just my second device, so it's not that neccessary, but it could be nice if I crashed my Note 4 to have a backup device^^

try to flash stock ROM and make sure you flashed the right one for your device.
it should be smooth to flash lollipop from stock
It doesn't get recognized on PC. I try to find some drivers, but I don't think that works.
Odin doesn't work on Win10, but using it on Win8.1 also doesn't help.

install Kies or universal driver
First time flashing ROMs, installed resurrection remix tryed to install Gapps which failed, yet RR booted up on its own just fine. Then tried to flash a new recovery on it (TWRP 3.0) yet the phone would just never boot up to complete the recovery install. So now i have a phone which wont enter recovery mode and cannot complete the download of the new recovery.
TLDR: Phone wont boot into recovery as ROM is broken so download cant be fixed?
Previous: recovery TWRP 2.6
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-19195
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks
Are you sure that you have flashed the right Recovery for your Phone.
Normally the way is.
Boot into Recovery
Install the Recovery .zip file
Reboot into Recovery.
Reboot into System ( ROM )
Can you post a link where you download the Recovery and which file.

That would only work from TWRP ver 2.8.4, I think you missed he is still on very old TWRP or maybe he edit later , he would have to install with Odin method
@Spec77
If you can boot into download mode you should be able to flash new recovery with Odin method (NOT use zip file).
As Bierma suggests maybe you flashed wrong TWRP does your phone have another letter and after gt-19195 if so it is a different phone & you need different TWRP. Or maybe you just tapped wrong link.

This way works also if you come from a CWM or PhilzTouch Version.
If you come from TWRP =>2.8.4.0 than you can flash an *.IMG File ,but you can flash on all Versions a *.zip file.
Managed to fix the brick
Thanks for the help, I managed to fix it by installing TRWP 3.0 from ODIN, and now that i have that I'm fine
Thanks!
