[Verizon] Twrp broken. Cwm trustworthy yet?

Twrp stopped working for me the other night. All it does is backup and restore, and wipe. Wont flash anything...at all. I'm running liquid alpha 6, twrp 2.2.0, 4.0.4 bootloader, and fa02 radios. Can I trust Cwm enough to flash the liquid beta?
 
If I were you, I'd flash an older version of clockwork. Easiest would be to use Scary Aliens root toolkit app from the market. I tried the newer versions and don't trust them so I used Scary's app myself since it still uses trusted versions.
 
It appears that the toolkit needs to be updated to recognize SuperSU.apk, because It's saying I'm not rooted and won't flash a recovery. Should be an easy work around though.

Yeah you probably got it already but if you're updated to the latest binary with SuperSU, you can install Superuser.apk and then (if necessary) there's an option ins SuperSU to switch to switch to another superuser app. That would probably do it as a workaround. Otherwise I think there's an older version of cwm linked in a sticky thread here and you could just fastboot flash it straight up and be done with it.
 
Switching to superuser.apk is also a No go. Root toolkit still says I'm not rooted. I haven't rebooted yet though.

edit: Rebooting was also a no go.
 
Also, the only nandroids I can restore are ones of my current setup. Any others "restore" just fine, but get stuck at the "android is upgrading" screen when booting.
 
All good. I installed ROM manager then installed an old version of cwm recovery from there. Backed up, wiped, and flashed just fine. Needless to say, I won't be usi g twrp again at least until it gets updated. I literally did nothing that would cause it to break the way it did.
 
You're scaring me, Kris, because I swear by TWRP! :eek:

Did you report this to Team Win so they can analyze the failure and try to determine what happened and how to prevent it?

If I knew how to report it with a log file or something, I would have. I can try to reproduce the events, but I don't have time this week or weekend.
