[Q] quick cwm/twrp question - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I was going to post a quick reply in the actual thread, but since I'm a new member you know.... But I flashed Scott's cleanROM 4.1 earlier BEFORE he recommended using twrp recovery instead of cwm. Although I have no problems, would it be wise to download the zip file, and flash it using cwm? Would it just replace itself with the new recovery file? Would I need to delete anything after? I'm still new to root/flashing, so just want to be cautious. Thanks to any replies in advance.

Are you wanting to switch from cwm to TWRP? I just flashed the zip for twrp using cwm and it worked fine. Go for it.

Worked just fine! Flashed twrp, wiped everything, and installed a fresh cleanROM 4.1 and goodies... Everything works flawlessly! And I gotta day, cleanrom Dev edition along with over clock and forced dual core mod turns my one X into a damn monster lol. Thanks for the help guys, I'm impressed with such quick answers.

I did this as well and was up an running for a few hours. I plugged my phone in to transfer some files and now my SD card is wiped clean. I don't keep anything too important there but this is the second time this has happened. Once with CWM and now with TWRP.

There's a few threads about this and it had happened to me as well both with cwm and twrp but luckily not my entire sd card just random stuff. At this time no one seems to have a definitive answer to what causes it. I personally think it has something to do with the way the mount and un-mount of the sd card is being handled but its just a guess I have no proof that this is the case

I keep losing map data and nothing else, its very frustrating downloading a 500mb file multiple times a week. Oddly it never happened on stock rom rooted or not.
I think it has more to do with roms than anything else. I change tunes and movies out daily and never lost files on stock rom. I might return to stock for a week to test.

[Q] BAMF 1.6.3 remix issues

I have flashed this several times and every time, I do not get the 6 bar signal meter. I lose the history icons between "verizon wireless" and "ongoing" when I swipe down on the notification tab.
Thanks, for any help.
Did you flash it using Rom Manager? I had the same thing happen to me from using rom manager. I used RM to boot into recovery then applied the zip from there. And it workd perfect. Try and do it like that and see if that helps.
Did you still download through RM? Thanks.
No you download it manually through your phone or on PC and transfer it to the SD card and then flash it in recovery.
Do I rename the file or anything special?

I also recommend flashing via recovery; it solved identical issues for me. As for the name, there's no need to rename the zip file provided that you're using recovery - it let's you navigate the sdcard file structure to locate your file. Just be sure to do a full wipe of data, cache, and dalvick before flashing (and backup your phone prior to that, of course).

Did you have to do anything special, or just reinstalled it?
+1 on ROM manager. Every time I have flashed using it, it has only had partial features.

Good to know. I've heard a lot of people saying that, but have yet to see any issues myself. I suppose I should stop using it for now just to be on the safe side. Glad you got everything working.
I am guessing this applies to the NTE version also. Standard rename to P05 and flash in hboot or install via rom manager? (and what about that radio they were pushing in the thread?)
I didn't rename just booted into recovery and flashed it through there, I also was missing features when I flashed Liquid Roms but now that I know how else to get them, I will be trying out the new GBs soon
i will never use rom manager to install again after it screwed up big time the other day but im currently running remix with no problems.

CWM powers off, not reboot

Hi guys! I am new in this so I apologize if this is a dumb question. I installed ClockworkMod Recovery v.3.1.0.1. and after I enter into it, when I press reboot, the phone shuts down. Is this normal? Thanks for your time!
Mine does the same since I started using the red nvflashed version, rather than the orange flashed from rom manager.

How did the new one work out for you? I did not start flashing yet, afraid of issues... (
I used the tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
for the 3.1.0.1 CWM, and I flashed it with external support...it seems to do the job. I've used it to flash several roms, kernals, mods, and even used it to partition and format a new 32GB sdmicro card yesterday.
Yeah I did that too. So it works, that's all that matters!

GRRR! Tbolt won't boot with any roms I try to install

My wife's phone is rooted and has been running BAMF for a long time. Well, it's slow as nuts right now and she asked me to redo it. I've been using Jellyblur on my phone, she liked it, and asked that i install that. Well, i can't for the life of me get the phone to boot with a new rom. Multiple downloads, and even downloaded about 3 different roms and it won't get past the white HTC screen.
I can reload my backup I made and it will start up just fine, but it just DOES NOT want to boot with a new rom.
I'm doing full wipes and I even copied the file I installed on my phone to her phone and tried installing that. No go.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

You likely need to update the Recovery.
I'm guessing it has some older form of Clockwork Mod Recovery on it.
You should update to 4ext.
That link is the app that you use as an interface for while in Android OS and it also installs the Recovery.
Install it while in Bamf, load the app and install recovery for HTC Thunderbolt.
Then try updating the rom, good luck!
If you end up liking it, support the dev and buy the full version of the controller app.
The recovery is free and so is the app I linked you however...
Recovery was indeed out of date. Thanks a million ..wouldn't have thought of that!

G2x in Recovery Bootloop

Ok Here is what I did:
First I flashed temesak's unofficial CM7 bulid then I couldn't access my sd card so I went to flash another rom (Hellfire's 7.2 super tweaked)
Recovery Used : CWM 5.8 Touch (Experimental)
I flashed and then I tried to reboot and then. *BOOM* Right back to the recovery screen. I tried a few more time but with the same outcome
I flashed a couple other roms like Eagle's Blood 2.3 and Weapon G2x but still had the same problem
Thinking it was my recovery I flash the 5.2 CWM and problems still there. Then I flash back a stock backup and a stock recovery thinking I just go back to stock to solve problem. NOPE i'm looking at a box with an arrow pointing at an Android.
I'm thinking I messed with something in the phone and now the command to set to boot normally is replaced with a command to boot into recovery.
Or
My volume down button is stuck but, that's unlikely considering I can use the recoveries just fine and flash roms, wipe dalvik everything too
Please help I bought this phone off of craigslist and been having trouble with it since day one (Unrelated to the seller) just general problems with LG
Try the G2x batch cleanup tool in the dev section. Sounds like your partitions may have been messed up. And stick with CWM 5.2

IT WORKED PERFECTLY! It's Exactly what I needed. Not only did it fix my bootloop problem, I can now access my USB storage without a SD Card reader. Thanks Bro, And thank you mansa_noob (G2x Batch Cleanup Tool)

I have a same problem, also wanna add that every time I connect my phone too a charger it turns on by itself, and boots to CWM Recovery.
I tried using Batch Cleanup Tool but still having same issues. Please HELP!!! I cannot afford a new phone right now.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Nata, what rom are you using? Try flashing something else

Seriously at a loss for what has been happening with my phone.

Ive been having some issues pop up with my phone in the last few weeks. Sorry but be prepared for a lengthy post haha.
It all started in Dec with the OTA of JB. After than my Maps/Nav constantly force close. I am not the only one with this issue because looking at recent reviews of Maps in the Play store, a lot of GS3 users are experiencing it too.
I made this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2115108 to try and see if there was a fix. Never solved the problem.
My friend was running the latest AOKP Milestone ROM and said his Maps/Nav worked fine. So I rooted, bootloader, recovery and flashed AOKP Milestone. Well Maps/Nav still didnt work. Found out my friend never installed the official OTA to JB and went from ICS to AOKP. So it only lead me further to believe that it was something with the update.
Figured I would wait it out till there was a fix, until I started having another issue. I use Handcent as my primary SMS app. All of the sudden one day my notification ringtone stops working. Was working fine then poof doesnt work. Tried redoing all the settings and got nothing. Uninstalled and reinstalled nothing. Cleared cache, uninstall/reinstall nothing.
So now with this problem persisting for a few days I got sick of it. Thought I should be able to flash an MD5 thru Odin back to ICS, get Maps/Nav working (along with txt tones) and then flash to AOKP. First I flashed I535VRALF2 and Maps/Nav worked fine, flashed AOKP and didnt work. So today I flashed I535VRALG1 and again Maps/Nav/Txt worked fine. Flashed back to AOKP and Maps/Nav didnt work, BUT txt tones did (for a while). Driving from home to work (15mins) somehow my txt tones stopped working again!
Between each flash I would factory reset/wipe cache/dav data ect. Not sure why these problems are being so persistent. Even on the last time back to ICS, I wiped everything in CWM and booted the phone AND did a factory reset from within the phone settings.
Anyone have any ideas? Did accepting the JB OTA just perma F me on Maps/Nav?
No ideas?
I don't run aokp but found this in the faq on rootz: "Fix permissions in CWMR.Uninstall maps updates/clear cache and data."
No idea if it will help but it won't hurt to try.

Ya I tried that already and it didnt work
And Ive also tried running older versions of Maps as well with no results
Try doing a superwipe. Completely erases internal memory. I know some roms have the option, specifically synergy to my knowledge. It is also available as a zip. Just make sure everything on internal you want to save it backed up to external or a computer. A fresh wipe can do wonders.

I did (I think haha). I installed a fresh MD5 thru Odin, then once my phone booted, I used the internal factory reset option to completely wipe the internal storage. Or is that not the same thing?

Try running the mega wipe zip with the Rom on external sd. If you are restoring
Apps, do so without data first to see if everything works.

Will it work on the GS3? That thread is for the Note2
And im running the latest touch CWM and that thread is a bit confusing, it says:
Requirements: You need to have
1. TWRP Recovery installed
Quote:
How to use:
Just copy the required zip to your External SDcard and reboot into CWM recovery. Install the zip and you are good to go!

It says you have to have TWRP recovery but then says boot into CWM, so not sure what to think.
any more ideas?
Anyone else?
