[help] going back to stock everything (from cwm) - Motorola Photon 4G

hi, i was able to root with Photon Torpedo (yay! so easy!)
then I d/led Rom Manager and noticed that CWM Recovery had support for Photon 4G, so thought I'd give it a go
little did i know that the support was broken.
what can i do? to "uninstall" CWM Recovery?

.. sorry man tried to look and i can't seem to find any 2.3.5 SBF files for you or even the stock recovery image.

Yea, 2.3.5 is locked down atm. No custom recoveries. Are you sure you installed it with the rom manager app? You can boot into recovery? If you can, you should be able to just flash a zip to change recoveries

problems with android 4.0

Guys I have evo 3d GSM, s off,hboot 1.49.0007 and radio 11.25.3504_m and my cid is HTC_001 of course I'm rooted.
I using now leedroid 3d v5.4 and everything is running perfect!
I have permissions to all apps like flash recovery with 4ext, update supersu and more.
I tried to flashed virtuous eclipse multi with android 4 and send 4, I've done full wipe and flashed the rom - it's not work. I tried to flash again the rom with cmw-supersu-v0.88 and still don't get permissions for nothing. I tried to wipe delvik and chace and reflash cmw-supersu-v0.88 again as someone wrote me and still - nothing.
Did anyone can help me? I really want Android 4.
By the way, its the same with all android 4 roms, I'm loosing my permissions...
First of all am a new member here and i was able to flash the same rom without problem.

[Q] International ROM's?

Yeah, just unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery. I recommend TWRP since it's more touch orientated (designed better) than ClockworkMod. Then download a ROM and follow instructions.
For those that have flashed Int. ROMs and have TWRP, did you use dumlock or flash the boot.img in fastboot? If anyone has used dumlock, can you write up how you used to get a good flash? I am coming from Sammy, so all of this is very new to me and I am trying to learn as much as I can. Thanks.

So you just flashed in recovery like normal? Nothing else?
This phone is super confusing, keep reading about flashing a boot.img before flashing a ROM or using dumlock. Can not find a straight answer to what I need to do to go from rooted stock to a ROM.

As usual HTC left off some security on the released version of this phone's HBOOT.
The One X on AT&T was like this too when it first came out. We could even flash RADIOS on that thing.
I am pretty sure the discovery that you can flash boot.img from recovery is pretty new.

Need some guidance please

I am new to the s4 I am on mdk version running twrp 2.6.0.0. Every time i flash a rom it bootloops back into twrp. I have tried new hyper drive 8.1 rls8.1 and synergy r104 Neither work. hyperdrive installs but bootloops back into twrp and synergy wont even get to aroma. I installed twrp through goo manger and used motochopper method for root. I looked for answers everywhere. sorry guy i need some assistance hopefully i missed something easy I also have odin back to stock re rooted more than once with same result. now i have tried cwm and oudhs with same result
Twrp 2.6.0.0 never worked well for me. Try a 2.5x.x or the new 2.6.1.0.

It could be because of the twrp version your using. Theres been alot of people having the same problem you are. You could try downgrading your twrp version or using cwm. I use cwm and flashed both those roms no problems. You migjt want to check the md5 hash as well you could be getting corrupted downloads.

Settle down I didnt say/insinuate you were new. Anyhow I noticed you were wiping cache and factory resetting. Are you wiping system and dalcik as well before flashing the rom. I doubt thats what is but at this point it seems like anything is worth a shot. Also Dumb question. Verizon s4?

[REQ] Clockworkmod Touch Recovery 6.0.4.3 CWM Zip

Requesting that someone make a flashable zip from the newest CWM Touch Image, especially as new 4.4 KitKat ROMs are requiring CWM-based recoveries.
I understand that this can be accomplished through ROM Manager (but I'm getting a download error) or through fast-boot/adb (which I admittedly don't have the time, patience or complete understanding to do) so if someone had time to make a flashable zip, I'd imagine that'd benefit the community greatly.
There is an older version here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584576) but OP is no longer updating or supporting.

I haven't flashed a cwm zip, I just use rom manager to install it. But I've gone back and forth a few times recently with no problems. Just messing around the other day I installed a 4.4 and set it up and then flashed twrp and backed up the 4.4. Wiped the phone went back to a 4.3 and then restored the 4.4 nandroid with twrp without any troubles. Apparently it's the initial install that you need cwm for, but caution is advised for now as the next time it may not work. I was bored and just messing around. As always YMMV!

I had made my own cwm touch flash zip as others have instructed. You just flash it with twrp if that's what using and use twrp to reboot to recovery to see the newly flashed cwm touch recovery. Vice versa for installing twrp again. However; just remember, backups can only be restored from recovery they were made with.
