I went with twrp, it was the recommended recovery for my rom.
Was a clockwork user and I must say twrp is very nice, and no charge bug.

Agreed, used cem for ages, but twrp is very nice, and its officially supported on our phone.

Another vote for TWRP
TWRP here as well. Maybe when clockwork is official for us I"ll switch back but I like what the twrp guys have done.
TWRP all the way.

i used clockwork before and now twrp. i never had a problem with clockwork.
i actually like clockwork better faster and simple look. twrp seems kinda slower.
TWRP for me.

Yet another vote for TWRP. I like the touch interface and have used the install, backup, and restore with no issues.

i had 5.8.2.7 and i flashed to 5.8.4.0 and now when i try to boot into recovery it just sits at the HTC screen for a while and then reboots
Use twrp instead. Clockwork isn't officially supported on our phone. Twrp is.
That or just fast boot into recovery. Is that way not working either?

The only way I've had any success getting into Recovery with CWM is to go into Rom Manager and boot into recovery from there.

I had exactly the same problem, the only thing that ended up working for me was installing Goomanager and doing it from there.
Menu > Install OpenRecoveryScript. This will install TWRP, and worked a treat for me.
I've noticed that when you first do the fastboot flash recovery that when you adb reboot into recovery, or even manually boot into recovery, it won't boot into it the first time. It will after you try again though. This has happened on 3 One X's so I know it's not a single phone specific thing.
Use TWRP, but don't be lazy and do it from the app, it didn't work for me, and just doesn't feel as reliable as my trusty adb commands. If you need help on what commands, PM me. Only three I used, without a hitch.
I used goomanager to install TWRP and it worked just fine.

Flashing a recovery from fastboot is not being lazy. There's actually more work involved than installing from an app. I think you have it the other way around.

Uhmmm, wanna reread what I said, I clearly said NOT to do it from the app. Here's the first sentence in case you somehow missed it.
"Use TWRP, but DON'T be lazy and do it from the APP, it didn't work for me, and just doesn't feel as RELIABLE as my trusty ADB COMMANDS."

Are both recoveries able to install the same roms? or are some roms only able to be installed through CWM or TWRP?
i'm assuming they both install the same way, so all roms should work regardless. It's just that rom threads say "install using clockwork", but i guess that's just a common phrase now..

yeah install using clockwork is common language for use recovery, since cwm is the more well known one.
Just as an opinion, TWRP looks better to me, because its not all just clicks and such, TWRP you slide to confirm, you can flash multiple .zips one after the other (Useful for AOSP roms where you need GAPPS, and if you change the kernel like I do) etc.
Also, as stated before, its an official recovery on our devices, so we get full support should bugs arise.

Did you turn off "Fast Boot" in "Power settings" before you tried to reboot into recovery?
That Recovery is for the International HOX (tegra 3) not for out AT&T HOX (S4).
Does anyone have a link to up to date instructions on flashing twrp to my phone. i have the ATT version not the international

Oh no worries bro, sounds different in my head but I see what you're saying.
On my HOX I have TWRP installed. What is the difference between CWM and TWRP? Don't they do the same thing?
Most importantly, will CWM mods work with TWRP? (like the .zip ones) Also, what about de-odexing?
Sorry for all of the questions, I'm new to android modding.
Cwm is buggy. You can use twrp for everything and it's fine.

CWM is the most common recovery, cause its the oldest and most known. But, you can also tell its the oldest, as the UI is... Ugly, compared to TWRP. The "slide to confirm" function on TWRP is really nice IMO.
But yeah, when they say "CWM", they just mean a custom recovery.
Also, TWRP is officially supported on our devices, which is why its recommended above CWM.

It's not 100% bug free but it is much more stable than cwm.
^That, and the TWRP tries to fix the bugs as they are presented.

Good to note too that CWM nandroids are not restorable in TWRP. So all previous backups from CWM are useless once you change.

I started out using CWM but switched because I use CleanRom and Scott suggested using TWRP. I just loaded it by downloading GooManager from google play and then following the install instructions. Worked fine for me...

You can just install TWRP right on top of CWM using a flashable TWRP zip, Goo Manager, or through fastboot.

Another point, the version of cwn for the HOX is an unofficial port and thus not supported. There is an official version of twrp for the HOX, which is reason enough to switch.

CWM was never officially released for our phone. It was a port from another version and isn't perfect. My experience with twrp has not shown me a single problem or even a hiccup.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
My device is rooted and is has the current CWM installed. My concern is whenever my phone is powered off and I plug it in to charge (usually before I go to bed) the phone charges for a bout 10 seconds and then the screen turns on and I see the standard clockwork recovery screen, black background with the blue font. I want the phone to simply charge while being completely off and I do not know why it always reboots into CWM when the charger is connected. Has anyone else had this dilemma and if so how was it resolved?

It may have to do with the CWM version. I think some versions have a charging bug. Have you tried TWRP or CWM touch?

Agreed. Give TWRP a shot. Both are phenomenal tools, but TWRP is slightly more advanced which makes it a little easier to use.

I installed TWRP but when I look in ROM manager it still says I am running CWM version 5
ROM manager is made by the same developer as CWM iirc, you want GooManager for TWRP. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager
Thanks for the help guys this seemed to do the trick.
so i have always used cwm on my devices, and i love cwm, but sometimes there is only a limited amount of custom recoverys for my devices such as my g1 that the guide i followed gave me amon-ra instead which i thought was terrible, i dont think i have tried twrp yet, is there like partition differences? more options between each?

TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) is a custom recovery that is touch based. So instead of constantly clicking buttons like in CWM you can just just do a full wipe with one swipe, if you only want to wipe certain partitions you can with advanced wipe. Also it also allows you to flash as many as 10 zips at a time. i recommend this to any user and i use it for My Galaxy Nexus, and Galaxy SIII. easiest way to get it is via Goo.im app you can get it via the Play Store.

I've used CWM versions that are touch based too. For old phones it is hard to find TWRP that supports them.
Some how I lost root while mucking around trying to change recovery for beanstalk 4.4. I never did get it changed since I had computer issues.
Did I really lose it? And is there an easy way to get it back?

It was a CWM one in the Beanstalk 4.4 forum...was going to flash via adb, BUT I never did it because once I got into
fastboot computer stopped recognizing the phone so I gave up on it.
When flashing any recovery, make sure its the one intended for our device (EVITA not ENDEAVORU) as this is a common mistake. Although, it sounds like your problem was something different.
The official CWM is fine to use (I was using it for a while) although TWRP is more commonly used on this device. On TWRP, if the ROM you are flashing is not rooted, it will give you the option to root it when it flashes, which is pretty nice.
