I have TWRP recovery installed right now but I want to switch back to cwm as I'm more familiar with it. My laptop's usb ports died so I can't use adb to install it. Is there a zip I can install in my current recovery?

All I see is a command for fastboot. Do I need to download the sdk or fastboot directly to my tablet? I would think I could just copy it over to the recovery partition instead since I'm already in the tablet. I thought fastboot was just used to gain access via a pc?

CWM:
Download and rename the file to recovery-jb-touch.img

Fastboot method from a PC:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery-jb-touch.img
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot

OR

In Terminal Emulator on the device, type the following

su
dd if=recovery-jb-touch.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4


TWRP:
Download and rename the file to twrp.blob

Fastboot method from a PC:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot

OR

In Terminal Emulator, type the following

su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4


Then reboot to complete installation.
