I have a noob question. I unlocked/rooted my phone using the CASUAL method and it put twrp recovery on there. Is it possible to switch that to clockwork mod that I am more familiar with and if so, how do I do it?
Thanks in advance.
What I've been reading on here twrp works best...

Ah ok. From the 1-2 times I have used it it seemed fairly straight forward. I just know for things like CM10 rom it says install cwmod first then flash the rom. Is it possible to flash cm10 from twrp?

Yes it is. Just use goomanager to update it TWRP to the latest. Also I guess you could just use ROM manager to install CWM, but as stated TWRP seems to be the best for the note

Yep, you can flash it with TWRP, just make sure you are running the latest version.

Awesome! Thanks you gents
Hi,
I read many many Tutorials and Threads and it seems like there are a hundred ways to unlock and flash twrp. But one thing I miss: Which twrp version to flash first? Directly after unlock.
As far as I understand i have to flash a Recovery as img in fastboot mode if there is no twrp installed.
My Questions:
1. Can I flash stock twrp from official twrp site?
2. Should I flash a custom twrp (alka or coffa)? If yes, why?
Thanks!

1. Yes, you can.
2. I suggest to flash alka, because you can do a full phone backup in case something goes wrong. It cannot be done with stock TWRP.

Perfect thx
One more question: as I understand, one advantage of alka is no need to flash cracked boot.img for miui Roms. Is that right? And do I have to choose between read and write mode (for ota's)? As far as I have read, none of this is needed.
Is there anything i have to consider if I flash a new rom with alka?
Thanks!

Yes, alka does have that feature but I haven't tried. For safety you can flash modified boot.img first. You can make one with android kitchen or I can upload it to you, just tell which ROM.
After flashing TWRP mount system as read only as showed in this pic. You should get OTA updates. http://i.imgur.com/Q0rHzmg.jpg
If you decide later to flash CM, Mokee, AOKP or other custom ROM, make a full backup with alka and for safety copy to your PC too.

Because no need to flash Modified boot.img and no worries about getting ota.

Hi waiting to unlock the bootloader on my rmn3 pro how would i go about flashing alka on to my phone? Would this allow me to make complete backups so if i flash a custom firmware i can totally revert to a MIUI backup for example?

Hi. I need help with TWRP. I once flashed pure nexus ROM and ever since then I have been facing unusual options appearing in TWRP.
In short story, When I flashed pure nexus ROM then I saw that my TWRP recovery was auto deleted and recovery was set to stock android recovery. Being a noob, it was very hard for me to fix it. But eventually I did it. So, I installed latest TWRP and flashed Cosmic OS. While cleaning dalvik cache and other options, I began to see new options such as "AndroidSecure" "EPS" and so on.
I can post a picture of it. Anyways, please help rectify these problems.

If I do remember, androidSecure is a secure folder in the internal storage, however, don't touch any of these partitions at all

Continue using your phone normally. Just don't change or touch anything you don't know.
And another problem. Whenever I make backup of ROM and store in the SD card. And when I try to restore my backup it does not works. It just says sort of 'restore failed'.

You set the system read only. Check the settings of TWRP. You'll find it there. Only then you will be able to restore.

I'm really not sure what's the point of downgrading. Can you check through a file explorer if you can open the downloaded ROM?

Yes, I did open it. Everything was in its place.
Now i have a boring stock firmware, i installed a ROM that is awesome but didn't support my WiFi and Bluetooth, so what would happen if i put my kernel in that ROM using kitchen tool (knowing that the firmware i'm trying to modify installed properly, it just didn't support WiFi and Bluetooth, so it's not a totally different ROM)?

If the kernel you have supports your device I don't see any reason why it would not boot normally. You could always flash the kernel separately from the rom in your custom recovery.

i think that because i know that the kernel is the interface between the OS and the physical chipset components so if that's not compatible with the ROM "and" the chipset something would go wrong...that's what i think

Oh ok. If say if the ROM support is the device and the kernel does too, then wipe the device and flash away. I suggest that you take backup beforehand and also have the stock ROM handy so you can recover if something goes crazy.
