Hey guys I'm kind of new to TWRP, but not CWM, and I was wondering for us one s users who do not have s-off, what are the benefits to using one over the other? Specifically, what are the benefits to using TWRP over CWM?

For one... TWRP is easier to use (better touch interface).
TWO.. it allows you to flash radio images, even with S-ON
Three... it's much faster at installing ZIPs / backing up or restoring.
For that alone. it's alone for me to run it.

You don't have to flash the hboot through fast boot with twrp you can just flash the Rom and it will automatically flash in the recovery
sent from a guy living in a van down by the river
only negative to consider is that any backups you made with cwm may not restore with twrp. you will have to start from scratch or reflash cwm to restore an older one if needed--
Awesome, so it's almost like having s-off because we don't have to flash the boot separately? More or less?
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2
yea, that's about all it does
i consider s-off when we can change partition table and get more data space
So do you reccomend me to flash twrp? have this any bug?
I've done it, and it works great.
Made Backup and Restore,
no Problems at all.

What about an App to run it from within the ROM like ROM Manager?
lol--
This is like should I get the chocolate or vanilla ice cream---
Just flash it guys, if you don't like it go back. It's not like like flashing radios, hboots etc. Very quick and easy.

So how come I have never heard of it cwm is more famous fyi I'm noob at this stuff
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
I have to disagree with a few posts here, you can do everything the same way with both recoveries. You don't need to flash the boot image in fastboot with cwm I've done it myself and I didn't see any difference in speed between the two backing up or restoring.
It's preference on which you choose to use, I'm not saying that either is bad they both have a great support background and are dedicated to quality as they should be, it's the most important software on your device in consideration to root users and without it working properly your taking a very large risk.
Personally believe recovery should be layed out in a manner that is easy to use and functional for all types of users, adding gimmicks to something that should be taken seriously I feel is unnecessary and both teams do a great job of keeping it clean and treat the work as if they are paid to make them.
Both are great at their work, both are worth having.

Im running clockwork mod 2.5.0.7 and through rom manager ive tried updating to 5.something. However it never works, so, i have the .img file for the newest version. how do i update to it manually? Oh and i don't want to use adb.
thanks in advance
I'm guessing you flash it using CWR
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
thats what i figured, but it doesn't allow you to flash .img, only .zip. unless im missing something

a) You are missing the whole point of the development section.
b) there is a reason why a number of reputable members here still use cwm 2.5.0.7
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using XDA App.
the only reason im updating is because i want to partition my sd without using adb, but that isn't working out with 2.5
This is the first one for me that partitioning can be done from adb. I love this board as every day I learn something new.

Use gparted for your sd card...
Did u also see there is a Q & A SECTION?!?!?!

Even though HTC hasn't released the kernel source there are still a few things we can do.
Attached are two modified kernels.
3.0.8-01136 is based on the current HTC European kernel
3.0.8-01053 is based on the current T-Mobile kernel
They will probably work better if you use are currently running a similar kernel.
All I did was add the following frequencies to the cpufreq table:
1.62GHz, 1.728GHz and 1.809GHz
It boots at 1.809GHz
Use setCPU to change the maximum frequency if you don't want it to run at up 1.809GHz.
I know there is a module to do more or less the same thing as this but having it built into the kernel is much easier and it allows the ondemand governor to use all the new frequencies.
I wrote some code to patch the kernel so it's easy to make this work with any other kernel version.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26961470&postcount=24 for the source and instructions.
These are installable zips, flash the kernel using the latest CWM (at least version 5.8.3.1).
Copy the zip file to /sdcard, reboot into recovery and install just like a ROM.
If you want to test it first you can extract the boot.img from the zip and boot using:
fastboot boot boot.img
think you could make one for kernal 3.0.8-01050-ge2a40ab

Yes, Agreed, this one would be great to have as well.

Heck I can try and do it, i just don't know where to begin lol
This will update you to the newest kernel if you are still running the older version. Worked flawlessly for me

No, S-OFF is really not necessary for flashing anything on this device. I've attached two flashable zips to the first post.
Let me know if it doesn't work for you.

Is voltage table "tunable" too?
A slight undervolt for the whole frequency should be great! For stock or overclocked frequencies, but I don't even know... Does SetCPU (or other tools) detects the kernel as "undervoltable" ?
I was just wondering why with the One S we need to flash the boot.img from the rom to get it working in most cases. never had the need to do this with other phones i have owned?
cheers
As far as I know ,we need s-off before it will work properly .
I know people are saying twrp can flash boot ,but it has never worked for me.
Would also be interested in knowing .
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Sorry yeah, S-off would make sense. Nah, TWRP doesn't seem to do it.
TWRP does it for me.. am using Axiom S v1.5 and did not have to flash boot.img.. just went straight to recovery and flashed it from there.. works flawlessly
Out of interest ,

Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
The basic chicken & egg situation is that you need s-off to write hboot.
You'd have to boot the device through some other means than the normal (s-on) hboot, or spoof some check(s) to prevent the normal hboot from setting mmc protection.
Well i know that sansung phones have something called unbrickable mod and that starts before the bootloader ir os or anything likebthat starts. If soneone can get something like that then we could s-off the one s easily

I don't what I could use S-OFF for at this moment. Sure, there might be devs who just would start some efficient stuff, but thanks to those current recoveries where already have most of the possible functionalities.

I have AOKP on my att HTC. I already flashed the boot IMG manually, if I want to try out CM10 do I have to flash the boot IMG of cm10 again? Also when updating the same ROM is this neccesary again?
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk 2
If you are on hboot 1.14, yes you should flash the boot IMG every time you flash a new ROM. Not technically necessary for a ROM update but good to do just in case.
You can always just S-OFF though, then you don't need to worry about it.

The only issue i had while getting s-off was the phone being "offline" but a simple unplug and replug fixed that. It was a simple process overall
sent from my jellybammed one x
I would say the bigger risk is not understanding what s-off is actually doing. Because there's no security checks, if you don't know what you're doing you can easily brick flashing the wrong thing. If you're smart about it, take your time and know what it is your flashing, you shouldn't have any problems.
