I might be off topic but I currently have TWRP installed, can I also install CWM and have dual recovery? If so, do I just flash the CWM? Step by step instruction would be awesome!

Nope! You're only allowed to have one at this time.
Theoretically its possible to run a dual boot system, I would assume you could do the same for recovery, but there are not many benefits. It would be easier to just flash back and forth between cwm and twrp

On a side note, I thought I was getting a hang of all the terms and lingo but can someone explain the difference between [MOD] and [ROM]?
I was thinking a [MOD] is an update/modification to a [ROM] but now I'm not so sure.

That's about right.

Hi everyone, I will admit I have went over my noob experience threshold here... And this is kinda a long drawn out series of bad events. I installed the TWRP root onto my ZTE Warp, even tho I haven't a clue what to use it for. Well, yesterday, my charge port broke, so I cut the micro usb end off the charger and charged the battery straight wired. This morning, all was cool. I was texting, online, and made calls. I ALSO attempted to use the car charger on the broken port. I got it charging after many wiggles and pushing on the plug. Once I arrived at work, I tried to usse my Warp, only to find it frozen. Normal, I thought, and pulled the battery. Thirty mins later, I tried again, still froze. I tried everyything and still can't use the touch screen. Now during all this, I had removed my sd card to try a reset. And by doing this, I unfortuantly, have lost the sd card... And discovered when trying to reset with twrp, I need the touch screen, but its still froze.... PlZZZZ.... Is there anything I can do here? Thanks in advance!

But with dual boot we can get Ubuntu Touch

if you install orange backup up can backup from and restore as cwm or twrp right in the android os.

These methods and zips are for the ZTE Warp only. And sounds like you got lucky, you could have bricked your phone flashing files for another phone.
I would do a reflash of twrp recovery for your SGSII, then a from reflash just to stay on the safe side.

Be careful what files you flash, flash the wrong one and you end up with a very expensive paperweight or door stopper :eek:

judging by what you said you did, you should reinstall the original firmware for your phone and reinstall cm10 after... the reason i say this is because different phones use different partitions for recovery, boot, system, radio, cache, etc.. and it sounds like when you flashed cwm using this tool , you deleted something you needed in one of the background partitions. TWRP in my opinion is a better recovery anyways. if your lucky, the cwm recovery you flashed was flashed to the cache partition and you can go to the wipe section of twrp and wipe cache and dalvik to solve the glitchiness in your phone... good luck and always flash compatible software( only things for your gs2)

loquesea · May 31, 2013

thank you very much anyways

Skinnyjeans21 · May 31, 2013

It wooooooooooooooooooooorked!!!!
My phone came back from the dead and I am soooooo happy!!!
What I did:
Flashed Gingerbread Stock Firmaware with Odin. After it was successfully flashed the phone rebooted on its own. The att "rethink possible" logo appeared and after a while it went away but the same animation with the same logo loaded itself again... this happen millions of times (for about an hour) and it never loaded the OS. When I tried to turn it off it wouldnt let me but finally made it somehow... then I manually entered stock recovery mode made a factory reset and cahe partition wipe as well, rebooted the phone and it worked!
I am really glad it worked and couldnt be happier. Thank you very much everybody for helping me out!
