If it's helpful to anyone else, I made a copy of TWRP and Philz recoveries that are flashable from a custom recovery. I do this because I find it easier to change the recovery I am using from a flashable zip rather than using adb or fastboot.
As a check I have flashed Philz from TWRP and TWRP from Philz on my own device without issue, but the usual disclaimer is still in effect. Whatever you do with this is not my fault.
Anyone is free to modify these zips for other recovery versions. All that needs to be done is to replace the "recovery.img" file inside of the zip.

So how does one flash TWRP from CWM?
Flash the zip in recovery. Reboot recovery and you will have twrp. Make sure its the latest version from their website.
Twrp isn't recognizing my SD card and I need to know how to remove it and flash cwm internally because writing the recovery IMG isn't working on my nook

Just flash CWM over TWRP (You can do it from within TWRP I'm sure, I've never used TWRP).
There is a flashable CWM version in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975214

TWRP won't flash a new version over itself. You need to boot into SD recovery, then you can flash the CWM you referenced above from the SD card recovery.

Information
Questions:
- What is the difference between normal recovery and these recoveries?
If you install a normal CWM/TWRP/Philz release on an unlocked P769, you will notice that the screen is inverted/mirrored and/or the the touch is also wonky. The above uploaded recoveries have been especially adapted to work correctly, so there is no-more mirror issue and the touch works fine as well. After flashing the below fix too, the touch should work while on your ROM as well.
Please note, you may have to also flash this fix (cwm_ts_fix_p769) for the wonky touchscreen after flashing the recovery. Get it here
- How to install recovery?
Option 1:
a. Go to recovery and flash the zip
Option 2:
a. Extract the recovery.img file from the zip and copy to your internal/external SD card on phone
b. Install Rashr from here
c. Flash the recovery from within the application by browsing for it
Option 3:
a. Extract the recovery.img file from the zip and copy to your computer
b. Use fastboot to install recovery, see here
c. Use the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Option 4:
a. Via flash_image, use this guide.
- Are these recoveries bug-free?
I have tested all the recoveries on my device (T-Mobile P769) and it does boot into them and you can flash zip files, I can't comment on functionality more than that, however if there is an issue with these recoveries then it is most likely an issue with the original recovery as well.
- How are these recoveries created?
These recoveries are created simply by using kuma82's method, described here, which is replacing the kernel (zimage) from the original recoveries and replacing with the kernal from bobZhome's CWM recovery .
- Will you keep updating the recoveries?
I will try my best, I do not compile the recoveries from the original sources, because I don't have the time or know how to, however if there is a new recovery release and required by the users, I will gladly mod it and upload it.
Thanks to:
- @artit for his TWRP
- @artas182x for his CWM 6.0.3.7 and 2nd-init
- @dhiru1602 for his device tree
- @Polloos for his compiled recoveries
- @kuma82 for his guidance on unlocking and making these recoveries
- @BobZhome for creating the CWM recovery, from which the kernel(zimage) was extracted
- Philz, TWRP, CWM for their excellent work and awesome recoveries.
Please inform people that their bootloader must be unlocked to flash these and thanks for 2.7 twrp.
Thanks, I forgot to add that. Done.
Hello.
I had to revert to stock to recover from some bad flash using this procedure : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2641261
I would like to reinstall TWRP recovery so that it can be used to flash firmwares from zip files and also recover from my backup on my SD card. What is the correct way to do this? Which TWRP recovery should I use? Where should I download it from?
Thanks.

The twrp instructions are here:
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/214
The latest version available there is 2.7.1. I believe that there were some updates for "May devices".
There are 2.8 version in kuronsan's KK ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oma...rom-omate-truesmart-ironman-firmware-t2998434
The recovery image should be flashable as described on the twrp page.
(TWRP 2.8 adds MTP in recovery, which works much better for me.)
I've tried overwriting the recovery that comes with the latest stock from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2641261 with 2.7.0, 2.7.1 and 2.8 and I cannot enter recovery...
Edit : I've just flashed 2.6.3.0 and I was able to switch to recovery... knock on wood...
I've got a SGS4 (I9506) with Cyanogen Mod 13.0 and CWM and I want to switch to LineageOS 15.1 which states I should use TWRP.
1. Does it make a difference whether I use CWM or TWRP?
2. How exactly would I proceed to replace CWM with TWRP?
The only answer I found while searching was to "just use GooManager from the Play Store"...
Thanks in advance
Simple you going to go on twrp and see if a offical twrp exist for your device and if not go on the xda page for your phone and see if any modified twrp bulids exist for your phone and then you flash the twrp image in your recovery and reboot recovery will pop up and now you have twrp I hope this works...

1. It makes difference by not booting into rom when you flash with cwm or older versions of twrp
2. Download twrp from https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=3700668719832239230 .... and flash it with odin..
or extract that .tar and you will find recovery.img then flash that .img with flashify app if you are rooted..
Hope this helps

Thanks!
