Flashable CWM - LG Optimus G Pro

Does anyone have a CWM flashable .zip file for LG e980? I am stuck on TWRP and I need to restore my backup created with CWM. The only way I can get CWM recovery is to flash it from TWRP.

Haven't tried these myself but saw them in another thread.

twrp back to cwm?

i just installed twrp...whats the safest way to reinstall cwm? should i just reflash the cwm recovery tar file?
Yes, the tar file only changes up your recovery system.

I would like to know the opposite. How do I go from CWM to TWRP?
Is there a zip I can flash in CWM?
Also, why are you going back to CWM?

I have used Mobile ODIN to flash back and forth between recoveries. You can find ODIN flashable files for the different recoveries here.

Yes... Go to the twrp thread in the development section. I put a flash zip file for twrp there.

I think the easiest is to flash CWM just like anything else from within your current recovery. Takes just a second then reboot recovery and will have CWM.

cwm recovery zip file(not tar)

Can some point me in the right direction?

how you planning to flash this CWM zip without CWM already on your phone....are you using TWRP?
If your already rooted go to the play store and get goo.im app and from there install TWRP. In goo reboot to recovery and do a backup, then install the rom of your choice following there instructions. If your not sure do a search on rooting and installing roms.

Upgrading recovery

I'm currently on cwm non touch recovery an want to upgrade. I'm not sure which one I should upgrade but I see a lot of devs suggest twrp touch recovery so I guess that one. Do I just download the recovery an flash it on cwm? An when I do have it installed how do I flash ROMs do I just select the ROM an the recovery will clear caches? Or do I have to flash another zip before like with cwm I flashed the super wipes?

To flash TWRP you to get Goo Manager from the play store.
Open it up and click on "flash rom"... it will ask you if you want it to find you one. Select that option.
It will then say it will DL TWRP. Once it is done with the DL it will flash TWRP to your phone.
And bam....your in the latest TWRP

Thanks!!!!! I did it already. When I'm going to flash a new ROM what do I have to do? On cwm der was the superwipe zip I had to flash before is it the same on twrp?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Dont use super wipe. Not good with TWRP.
Do a full backup first of your current rom. Do a complete wipe. When you hit the wipe option it will tell you all that it will wipe.
Next hit install from the main menu...choose you zip for your rom. Let it do its thing then reboot system.
All done

Installing twrp now, but would it conflict with my old cwm? Or does it get deleted?

Ok so I don't need to remove it, and recovery mode is now controlled by twrp? I'm making a fresh backup now anyway, better safe than sorry.

Do I need to restore to stock to go back to touchwiz?

I am trying to go from cm10.1 to a 4.3 ge ROM and for some reason I can flash and get it to work buf once i reboot the phone i get stuck in a boot loop. Ive tried a few different 4.3 roms and always get the the same boot loop after rebooting.
Am i doing something wrong? (wipe/factory reset and format. Then flash rom)

Read around and found that it is twrp giving me problems. Is there a way to flash cwm via twrp?

Yeah. Just use a flashable CWM.zip rather than a Odin flashable .tar.
Also, it's TWRP 2.6 that is casuing problems. TWRP 2.5.2 works fine. You can find the download for that in the TWRP thread in the DEV section. You'll have to search the thread, but it's in there.

Yes, just get the zipped version of CWM, and it should be installable thru TWRP. Flash it the same as anything else.
I cannot find either the cwm zip or twrp 2.5.2

The flashable CWM zip is buried in the CWM development thread, not in the OP. As far as TWRP 2.5.0.2, the Odin flashable tar and .img is here.
