recovery of choice - Thunderbolt General

What is everybody's recovery of choice? I have always used CWM, but i know alot of ppl with Rezounds prefer RA recovery. I have it on my Rez and i like the options in it. Is anybody using RA recovery on their bolt? I'd like to get some opinions.

I didn't know amon ra recovery was even on the bolt. I use 4ext. It is fully touchscreen and has lots of options and can be themed

It's called RA_GNM recovery for the bolt, but it's the same thing.
I am just trying to find some people that have been using it on the bolt and see how it's working for them.

I loved it on the Eris but 4ext is the way to go.

i was just looking at it. I might have to try it out.

I too used amon-ra on the Eris and it was great!! I use 4ext on the bolt and love it. Much prefer it over cwm.

CWM here

4ext is a beast! Best I have ever used. I like it better than twrp and I really liked it. Fixing permissions works really well also.

I like twrp, but I have heard great things about 4ext, I am just to cheap to buy it.

I use amon ra 3.06 recovery. It will install cwm backups as well.

I just stick with CWM. I'm used to it and it does what I want it to. Why change it?

CWM, everytime I put 4ext on my phone I had crazy reboots and I installed it many various ways, its definitely sweet tho.
M.A.D.

I just use CWM. It does everything I want it to do.

Used CWM, TWRP, Amon ra, but 4ext is much better than any of the alternatives.

There are numerous uses for it. Like if you flash a screwed up theme, our framework, you don't need to flash a new rom.

What I do in such cases and recommend others to do is to prepare a rescue flashable with replaced (original) content. It is as simple as that, in any case you need the replacement on your SD.. nevermind.

This is a awesome tool. Works real good when you need to push files to /system. No FC's to have to try and click through when pushing from within the os itself.

[Q] question about TWRP and CWMR

If I installed both, what would happen when I reboot into recovery? Will I get to choose one over the other upon booting?
You can't install both
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Whichever you installed last would be your recovery.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Thank you guys. These two recoveries are both great and similar. But I like to use CWM especially the new touch version.
Twrp is better than classic cwm in my opinion, didn't try the touch one

CWM Recovery 5.8.1.3 Freezing??

So I flashe's CWM Recovery 5.8.1.3 on my Skyrocket Gingerbread Stock ROM and every single time I try to.boot into it, it just completely freezes and I cannot scroll to my SD-Card to install Superuser. Any ideas as to what is going on or what I can do?

Don't use the volume keys in that recovery. Strictly touch. If in were you I would just use 6.0.1.0

[Q] ROM Manager

So I've been trying to find why ROM manager should not be used with this device and I just see that I shouldn't. I came from a MyTouch 4G where that or 4EXT were standard.
What symptoms does ROM manager cause?
I've noticed that any ROM I try to flash that doesn't use aroma installer fails at checking the update package. Is this one and how do I avoid it?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium HD app
Rom manager does not support our device so any recovery you flash is going to result in a bricked phone. It's just that simple. Even after installing the correct custom recovery, stay away from it because you won't find any compatible roms either. Not to mention that in order to flash a rom with rom mangler you first have to flash a recovery so it knows which roms to look for.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I have ROM manager on my phone already. Hasn't seemed to brick it yet. I just can't flash ROMs through it unless they are packaged with aroma. But wiping works fine.

How are you using it at all? Doesn't it prompt you to install a recovery?

He will learn.....soon to be a statistic,wanting to know how to unbrick his phone.
I'm more than prepared to fix a brick.
It flashes through the market app fine using the i9000(?) option. I can then reboot into recovery fine and flash/wipe/mount just fine. Though the model mismatch might also be causing the issue where I can't flash anything not packaged with aroma.

Your lucky flashing that recovery should have soft bricked your phone. This is not the i9000. That's the galaxy s international version of the phone. Then there's the t959 vibrant. And the t959w for wind Mobile. Which are all slightly different. Like i said really lucky. Sooner or later it's likely to burn you.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I know this isn't the I9000. Perhaps I should consider dusting off my coding knowledge and make a compatible recovery.
This phone is so much different than my old HTC glacier... -_-

We have cwm recoveries for the phone they just don't flash thru Rom Manager.

Given that CyanogenMod is dumping ROM Manager, it seems like energy could be better put elsewhere.

Boot manager

Is there a blue folder available for the s3? I'm using the Galaxy mod ROM now and really like it but I'd like to keep checking out new rooms. Is there a convenient way to boot up another rom without having to wipe out what I'm running?

It gets me all the time too! But as of now there is not, there are some in the works from what I hear. So right now the easiest way is to make a backup and flash then just restore when you're ready to go back

Yes unfortunately no Boot Manager yet. Init2winit apps is unable to support the app anymore. The good news is that they are currently trying to find a reputable dev to take it over. Hopefully someone will.

I was really excited when it came out for the droid x. I bought it and really never used it, it just didn't work right. Cool idea but never work for me. I am sure the dx having a locked bootloader really held it back.

Thanks for the feedback. i used safe strap 3 for my motorola razr it allowed you to create a seperate boot partition,boot into recovery and choose the active-one . Is there something similar?

No there isn't, but it you just make a nan of your stock system before flashing it is basically the same thing
