Install cwm via mac or Linux?

Guys how to install cwm and remove stock recovery via mac or Linux on unlocked device ?
Need help plz!
Tnx!

The procedure is the same as it has always been, in short:
1 - install the Android SDK
2 - unlock your bootloader
3 - download the recovery image file
4 - using the fastboot command in the Terminal, flash it like this (for example)
~/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools/fastboot flash recovery ./clockworkmod.img
The paths and filenames will depend on where all the files are located.
I'm assuming you have experience with the command line to be able to understand this.
PS: you would have to use the same method to flash boot.img when flashing custom ROMs, as they cannot be installed from recovery yet. Just replace "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" with "flashboot flash boot boot.img"

[Q] How do I flash stock recovery?

Hey everyone,
Like the title says, how do I flash stock recovery? Right now I have TWRP (?) and my device is rooted, but I want the stock recovery back and keep root. Please explain and provide a download if required.
Thanks in advance XDA!

If you flashed TWRP manually just repeat the process but use a stock recovery image instead of the twrp image. If you used a one click root tool I suggest you read some of the sticky threads and tutorials to learn how to flash things manually so you can change whatever you want in the future. There are one click restore methods too if you look around for them.

1) Download the stock recovery (found all over this forum) into the same folder as your ADB files.
2) Go to fastboot/bootloader mode on your N7.
3) Open up command window in folder with ADB files.
4) Enter : fastboot flash recovery <nameofrecovery>.img
5) Drink a beer.

I tried a few times but when booting into recovery it still gets me to TWRP. I probably did something wrong somewhere. It's late so I'll try again tomorrow. This is my first nexus device and the reason I want stock recovery is so I can still receive over the air updates while being rooted. If I want over the air updates, that is the way to go right?

Question How to root without twrp

My problem is that I have installed a custom rom that is no longer in support in XDA .
So when I tried to to boot using fastboot boot twrp.img command my device won't boot in twrp therefore I am not able to install twrp hence magisk is still not working.
Is there any other way to root my mi 11x witouht using custom recovery.

Yes. It's the twrp fastboot method.
1. First of all you need the boot.img from your ROM. For a fastboot ROM it's in the Images folder. For an OTA you have to use a payload.bin extractor.
2. Then install the magisk manager app and use patch boot.img
3. Then install the patched boot.img through fastboot

Maybe they used the wrong boot.img for their ROM. Are you using MIUI? If so it may be more difficult as you've got to get the correct version from firmware finder. Even then magisk might not like your MIUI install. I've heard people running custom ROMs able to install magisk on Mi11X. E.g HavocOS, ArrowOS etc
This is the only way to install magisk properly at the moment
Edit: if you prefer MIUI there is another alternative by flashing on of the improved MIUI ROMs (they just take MIUI and add slightly extra features and improve performance). I can't link the telegram group on XDA but you can PM me

To install twrp do this:
(pre requisites)
-driver for f3 installed;
-adb and fastboot or platform tool (preferable) on the pc;
-usb debugging enabled on the phone.
Therefore:
1) download the .img file of the twrp you want to install, I used this:
Downloads for : Xiaomi Redmi K40 / Poco f3 | AndroidFileHost.com | Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware, and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
androidfilehost.com
2) rename the file to twrp.img (for convenience);
3) move the trwp.img file to the adb and fastboot folder (if you use adb) or to the platform tool folder (if you use platform);
4) always in the same folder open a cmd window (go to the address bar, type cmd and press enter);
5) after activating usb debug on the phone, turn it off, start it in fastboot (long press of Power + volume -) and connect it to the pc;
6) check if fastboot recognizes the phone with this command:
Code:
fastboot devices
If your phone code appears you can start it in twrp.
7) to start it in twrp type this command:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
8) now the phone should automatically boot into twrp, so go to Advanced> Flash Current TWRP
done, you should now have twrp installed. for the root there is this guide:
Magisk App 24.3 (Magisk Manager) Latest Version For Android 2023
Magisk is a multi-tasking rooting solution that root device in a systemless format without changing the internal files.

Oppo A83 [CPH1729] TWRP RECOVERY

⚠Warning: This is not official TWRP, use it at your own risk!!!
Data will be erased. Back up if neccessary
This device is kind of weird so to flash twrp you need these things:
1. Prepare materials​
Install driver so as to have access to preloader (Just install automatically and no need to do anything in device manager)
This software to access to preloader -> fastboot (fastboot is somehow not available via adb methods) Enter fastboot
This tool for flashing
2. Unlock bootloader (need testpoint, python, git (optional) - you can search on google)​
Use this tool - go to this section. Follow guides to unlock bootloader (remember to use testpoint not hardware buttons)
3. Enter fastboot mode​
Use latest MTK META Ultility tool
Select Reboot Fastboot Mode in BRom section
Hold volume down button. While holding connect it to your computer
*Now your phone is in fastboot mode​4. Flash​
Open platform-tools folder in Downloads folder
Shift + Right click then "open command window here"
Input these commands into cmd
fastboot flash boot drag twrp file to cmd
fastboot flash recovery drag twrp file to cmd.
fastboot reboot. Swipe to allow modification in twrp (to make sure that stockboot wont replace twrp). After that reboot to recovery to make it installed on your device permanently.
Now your recovery is ready to flash file you can push stock image file to your root folder using adb command: "adb push. Drag the stock image file. /" (Because Decryption right now doesnt work on my device yet)
Enjoy
*Sounds crazy but it is required to make sure twrp is installed correctly​*If successful, when you power on, you will get a red section on top of your device. If you want to recover to stock recovery, flash the recovery.img below.​*Also, if you want to make your own twrp, you can try recovery.img below.​
Also thanks SebaUbuntu and Mofadal El-Tayeb (مُفَضَّل) for awesome apps

Question Devices not detected after install Fastboot ROM

I try to install fastboot rom with MiFlashTool, this is my FastbootROM nabu_global_images_V14.0.3.0.TKXMIXM_20230306.0000.00_13.0_global_80c69df295.tgz
After i flash with MiFlashTool, the process is never end, but my Mi Pad 5 restarting without any reason in middle of flashing, but the process keep going, then i close the MiFlashTool, after that i try to fastboot devices in my platform tools directory, now my Mi Pad completely undetected in my PC, also in MiFlashTool now not detected
I can still open Recovery and Fastboot mode, but in Fastboot mode i cant do anything because my PC cant detect my devices, also i try with my other PC but still not detected, maybe the main reason this happend is because i terminate the MiFlashTool during process because i saw my Mi Pad restarting, any help for this issue ?

It indicates that your bootloader is still full functional. Otherwise recovery wouldn't boot anymore.
- Windows device manager shows what?
- output of 'fastboot devices'?

i downloaded your suggested app, but there is no Xiaomi Pad 5 in device list, and my downloaded recovery rom is zip, i just cant find tool for flash zip in fastboot sir

Your download is only a recovery ROM and not the full fastboot ROM. Full fastboot ROM:
MiPad 5 – MIUI Download Xiaomi Official ROM

Ok, a recovery zip is only flashable in a recovery. It's like any other flashable zip for TWRP, i.e. a Magisk installer zip or sth else. These zips need a shell to execute their commands. Fastboot is only for flashing single images via cmd line on your PC.
Download the full fastboot ROM. It's a *.tgz-archive that needs to be unpacked for the Mi Flash Tool (v2).

Install the Magisk app, extract the boot.img from inside your firmware and patch it with Magisk. Then flash the patched boot.img with fastboot flash boot "your patched image" and start your device.
