Hello,

I have TWRP 2.5 and I use GooManager to install new version, it downloads it, tells me new version is installed. I reboot manually into recovery and it still shows as 2.5. How do I flash 2.6 properly or what am I doing wrong? I can see GooManager downloads some *.IMG file on file system. I can not locate it though and also am I supposed to install that one manually from recovery itself?

Goo manager sucks balls. You can look around on your internal sd for the zip it downloaded or you can go to the s4 twrp thread and someone posted zips to flash in recovery in the last few threads.

Google is your friend

File which was downloaded is IMG file, TWRP can not flash it. I don't see any threads with flashable recovery. All recovery threads advise to user goo manager including official site of TWRP

TWRP site has the img file to download. They also give instructions on how to flash using console emulator or through adb on a pc. Make sure to type it correctly as if done improperly can result in a brick.

Why do you want 2.6

2.5.0.2 has been flawless on ALL roms for me

No I am on the latest CM11 Snapshot M2 4.4.2. No issues. I will keep this post and not delete so I can post a flashable i337 zip for it.

2.6.3.2? I can't find that version for our phone. I found 2.6.3.1 but no CWM flashable version. Best I found was http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2447423 which is 2.6.3.0 which would probably allow replacing the recovery image with a newer image.
