This is what I get for trying to do this before I need to get some sleep. I s-off'd my M8 just a few minutes ago, and installed TWRP. Now I can't get out of twrp. If I reboot it reboots right into twrp. So I tried flashing CWM in fastboot mode, and it still boots into TWRP. However if I go into twrp and select reboot into recovery, it reboots into CWM. So if I go into CWM and select reboot system, it goes to TWRP. Somehow I have two recoveries on here. I'm really tired and would love to get some sleep.
Never mind, just installed a new rom
Lol. I'm glad that you got it figured out, it would have been hard for anyone to help in this case though.

Just flashed a rom in cwm since it appeared to be the dominant recovery.
Sounds like you managed to flash TWRP to the system partition instead of the recovery partition.
Don't really know how, just flashed using the adb/terminal method. After that flashed CWM using the fastboot method.

Hi everyone,
I just got my G Pro a couple days ago. I've been trying to read up as much as I can on the phone. I bought the phone used. It's on the V10k firmware (value pack or whatever they call it) and it was rooted, but I never did check to see if it had a custom recovery installed. Now, I installed FreeGee from the Play Store and had it flash TWRP 2.6.1. Installed successfully. But, when I reboot the phone, and I push a button to enter recovery mode, it takes me to CWM 6.0.2.8 by 985hPaKick v1. To top it off, if I "reboot recovery" from within CWM, or if I use "adb reboot recovery," it'll take me to TWRP. Anybody have a clue what's happening, or is this normal and I'm just not hip to it yet? I would've figured that if CWM was on here originally and I didn't know it, flashing TWRP would've just overwritten CWM. I'd like to be able to flash custom ROMs and such but I've never had this occur to me with an Android before, and I'm not trying to brick this thing. Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Im new to the LG world also. I dont know how this happened but if you flash back to stock via LG flash tool then reroot. You can Freegee a recovery over the stock one just reflashed. When I flashed the TWRP recovery the touch screen was dead(when in recovery mode) so I reflahed CWM over it with Freegee and it worked. Hope this helps
Thanks bud, I'll give it a try.
So two days ago I thought about installing Vision X rom on my Note 3 (T Mobile).
I downloaded the ROM and then backed up my current ROM (nandroid). I had Phillz touch recovery then.
Then I thought about going to TWRP and thus I downloaded the latest zip for my phone and flashed it via Phillz upon trying to reboot into recovery it got stuck in the screen "Rebooting Recovery...".
When I restarted it would still try to reboot into recovery and get stuck. I got out of that by going into download mode and then selecting "Restart Phone".
After that I looked for solutions and upon failing to find any I thought about going back to stock and starting from ground zero. I managed to flash the latest stock using Odin however I forgot to do a factory reset before hand.
When I tried to do a factory reset in my, now stock, phone it failed and then got stuck trying to get into recovery. It would flash "Rebooting Recovery..." then restart and flash that in a loop.
I have lost my root as well in the process and trying to root using Odin and CF-Root just get's me back in the recovery boot loop. I can use the phone OK however this is not a stable situation.
I'm sure I've made some serious errors in the tinkering and would like to get my recovery back. I really love Custom Roms. Any kind and knowledgeable souls out there to help me in my cause?

Go to the Playstore and download TWRP Coordinator and then
use it to install the latest TWRP recovery for your phone.
Once you can get back into TWRP recovery you need to flash
the cf-autoroot for your phone. Be sure you flash the CORRECT
version of cf-autoroot for your phone's model.
Good luck!

The app is constantly crashing!
It would start for a second then close. I tried the TWRP manager as well with the same result.
I've lost root access when I Odined back to stock, won't I need root access to install new recoveries?
Sounds like you flashed the stock 4.4 firmware and now need recovery to root. Flash this TWRP file using Odin http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/hltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
Once you flash it, you need to boot into recovery to install supersu to root.
Switch off the Galaxy Note 3 (remove the battery and reinsert if needed)
Next, press and hold simultaneously Volume Up, Home and Power.Release the buttons when the screen flickers and wait for the TWRP menu.
Select Reboot, then System and install Supersu for root.
Once booted, open Supersu to update it and grant permission.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
What I was trying to do: I have a stock 4.4.2 AT&T GS3 that I wanted to root, and then install Cyanogen Mod.
What I did: I flashed Auto-Root with Odin 3.10, restarted and then flashed TWRP 2.8. I then booted to TWRP and attempted to wipe/format the phone but it showed some errors along the way, I think it was something having to do being unable to mount the SD card. I then rebooted into recovery and flashed CM12 and slim Google Apps zip. When it was flashing both I got a string of errors but it said it was successful.
Where I'm at now: When I try turning the phone on (without holding any buttons down) it attempts to boot straight to the TWRP but gets stuck at the blue TeamWin screen. I'm able to get to download mode by holding down the appropriate buttons. I'm wondering if there's anything I can flash from Odin to resolve this.
I also realized I have unbacked up photos on the device, I don't think the format was successful, is there any way to recover those?
Thanks
To recover the pictures, try re-installing TWRP, boot into TWRP, and mount the partitions. Connect the phone to your computer and copy your pictures.
TWRP
I have had this happen before. Try using Odin to flash an older version of TWRP, uncheck reboot after flash and then when it is done, do a battery pull. This has gotten me back into a working TWRP to restore my previous setup. Note: You made need to go back to 2.6. Once you have gotten back up and running flash to the current TWRP with the app.
Just rooted my phone and now after i flashed TWRP and I boot to TWRP the touchscreen becomes unresponsive. I'm now stuck in TWRP not knowing what to do. Any ideas? Everything worked just fine up until now.
Edit. Fixed now. Did a force reset and booted to recovery again and now it works. Strange...

Power plus Volume up will reboot the phone
power plus volume down to enter the bootloader then recovery
Do I need to backup my system if I dont intend to flash custom rom? How do I make a backup if needed?
You make a Backup in twrp Recovery. Be sure you installed
Twrp 2.8.6.4 beta. Its always better to make a Backup.
I made a backup of boot and system sections, is that enough or should i backup data section to? Its gonna be quite large since i got alot of stuff installed.
Gonna flash Viper later, all i have to do is a wipe of system cache and dalvik and then flash boot. Img from Viper and then flash viper zip-file. Phone is rooted and s-off.
Ok, so here is a thing: i've unlocked my bootloaders, flashed TWRP, installed a Rom, have been using the ROM for 2 weeks now. The problem is, when i try to open recovory mode, it just gives me simple OEM recovery. As if TWRP was deleted. On one thread i've read that i need to install TWRP and without rebooting install supersu root. The dilema im having right now is wether flashing TWRP will delete my files. Can anyone help me?

No it won't. Flashing a custom recovery only affects the recovery partition. Your personal files (pics, vids, etc) are safe unless you manually wipe internal storage. You will know when you are wiping the phone because you have to read the action and allow it to happen.

After you flash-install recovery, while still in recovery, reboot to recovery. This should set it. Then flash supersu and reboot.
