how can i change the recovery from cm12 recovery to TWRP 2.8.3.0 recovery?
now, my rom is cm-12-20150109-INFECTED-yuga

1)in cm12 recovery, apply update olivier's "twrp-2.8-20150108-yuga.zip" , it's error:signature verification failed

2)use fastboot,"fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.3.0-yuga.img" , it's error:FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)

3)Flash it using dd,it's also the cm12 recovery

I'm stuck on this too. Tried all of the three methods and now i have broken recovery.

Here is the solution I found on XDA (hidden in some threads).

First: This issue seems to exist with the builds after 07-Jan. TWRP can't be flashed with dd, neither with fastboot. So you have to do this:

1. Get this file: https://www.mediafire.com/?9vnr7t9dmoysqau [ 1 ]
2. Flash the boot.img with fastboot ("fastboot flash boot boot.img"). It's an boot.img from an older build which resolves the issue
3. Boot into CM12 and get Oliver's TWRP build (version 2.8.3.0): http://build-server.com/olivier/yuga/twrp/ [ 2 ]
4. use adb (adb shell and then su) and flash the recovery as it is described in [ 2 ]
5. Boot into recovery

I have CM12 5.0.2 and works fine.

On Xperia Z (yuga)? I guess you don't realize it's a yuga unofficial cm12 build which causes this.

As i mentioned in my post... Builds after 20150107 have a problem with TWRP. So you better not upgrade your cm12 build.

My WiFi is broken as well now.

All mentioned links are now broken, while I have the same problem. Are those files available elsewhere? Are there any other solutions?
