Hi guys,
I'm having trouble with this. I'm rooted and unlocked with CWM, and after flashing CM9 I can't mount the SD card through CWM. I flashed the latest CWM (5.8.4.0) but it doesn't seem to have helped. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can solve this?
Flash TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677447
Our device is not officially supported by CWM. TWRP is the way to go, as the post above suggests.
Its a known issue with CWM and our device. As others suggested, best to use TWRP. Everything works, and it officially supports our device (CWM does not).
Also that version of CWM isn't meant for an EVITA HTC One X. Damned AT&T demanding the name of this device be the same as a completely different phone. causes all kinds of problems.
Thank you all! I came from the galaxy family so I assumed CWM was the best, but apparently not here.

Hi all,
I am stuck on installing ICS.
I am trying to install SKY-ICS 4.2F6.
I am in CWM, and Format the /data, /system, /cache, /emmc folders.
Then I install from zip the ROM, now it is in bootloop (Keeps rebooting), I ddo see the samsung logo, and I can boot into CWM.
Am I missing something?
This is on a fresh , rogers I727R
Thanks

Did you use the touch or non-touch version of CWM?
The non-touch version does not wipe the cache properly which results in soft brick (bootlooping). Ensure you are using the touch version of CWM, you will probably have to flash it via ODIN.
There's probably a thread somewhere that explains how to do this, the instructions I followed are here:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/touch-clockworkmod-recovery-for-rogers-and-att-skyrocket-sgh-i727/
The reason I link this and not some thread is because I know this works, and I have heard there are possible issues with the latest version of CWM touch, I have been using 5.8.1.3 for a while now with 0 issues.
EDIT: I take no responsibility if somehow the above bricks your phone, if you are unsure on the use of ODIN please search and read up on it, you can brick your phone easily with it if you click the wrong thing.
Thanks a million, RabidSmurf
That did the trick
I am on the welcome screen
Thanks again,

No problem, glad it worked!
I had the exact same issue when I first got my phone and had trouble finding the answer.
Hi I recently unlocked the bootloader and rooted (oneclick method) my HTC One X on rogers. I want to install CWM recovery, but I have heard it is unstable on the One X? If it's not, can I just download rom manager(premium) and flash the recovery through there? Or let me know a way I could install it. Thanks

I'd suggest using TWRP instead of CWM, CWM randomly wipes your SD from time to time.
To install TWRP, download the goo.im app from the play store and let it find a compatible recovery for your device. It will reboot and TWRP will be installed.
My advice would be to stick with the recovery installs methods that are in our specific forum. Just head to my index thread and look under "Recovery".

CWM does not officially support our device, its just a port. Because of this, I don't even know if ROM Manager will let you install it.
More importantly, CWM is known to cause some serious issues for some people while flashing ROMs. Some (most?) of the devs don't advise using CWM. TWRP officially supports our device, and is the way to go.

I've just had an instance of random files being erased or corrupted, this time it was on TWRP. I also had it happen on CWM a while back before I switched to TWRP, but neither recovery seems free of this bug (and may not be solely recovery's fault?). I've seen at least a few others have had SD contents corrupted by TWRP. Maybe its more common on CWM, but its probably hard to say.
I haven't had the instance of the entire SD card being wiped, so this may be a CWM exclusive thing, I can't say at all.
Moral of the story, before flashing anything, whether on CWM or TWRP, backup to your computer any contents of the SD that are not easily replaced. In particular, Titanium Backup folder, and any personal photos.
Also, aside from the SD wipe issue, CWM is known to cause some major problems when flashing some ROMs, so best to stay away from it.

Does TWRP work the same as CWM. Also does it have all the same features as CWM? Thanks
I've been using clock work since its been available for the One X & personaly never had a single issue. You however can't flash CW through Rom manager.
Try this worked perfect for me.

I hate to post this but after 3 days of trying to get this damned phone serviceable I am seeking higher powers.
I have viewed just about every thread I can, and everytime i think I'm getting close only to be disappointed.
I was attempting to root a Rogers HTC One X for a friend. Ive rooted 3 other devices prior to this one without issue and constantly custom rom my own device (HTC Raider).
As of now, I CAN: Boot to Hboot (1.11.000), Flash Custom Recovery (Have tried TWRP and CWM, can enter successfully cant do much else), flash things via fastboot.
I CANNOT boot to OS. Its apparently gone. so as such, i have no access to the SD-ext. I CAN mount USB in TWRP but while it shows up in windows as a storage device, I CANT see it on the phone, so i cant flash it. I CANNOT mount in CWM.
I have attempted to RUU via fastboot. I have gotten errors for signature, size and model. Even the stock, non-root one (1.94) stated that the size is incorrect. Im also seeing alot of Errors regarding android-info.txt.
I really desperately need to get this running. Which ever rom. i dont care. If i can get stock, fine, if not Custom rom/kernel.
My biggest issue is not having access to the sd-ext and this phone, for some stupid reason, does not have a microSD slot, which would have made this whole issue alot easier.
I dont know if im missing a file or a step. Im really not sure where to go next.
If you have files that will work and can tell me how to do it, I will forever be in your debt.
It seems to me that i SHOULD be able to run fastboot update xxx.zip and just have it fix it but thats when im getting the android-info.txt errors.
If i could manually flash the 3 files through fastboot (system and boot more than recovery), i would think it would work but nooooooo.
Is there any way any of you know how to get me to atleast being able to see my sd-ext on both windows and TWRP so i can flash it that way? ANYTHING?
So, Got it up and running with Team Nocturnals Rom.
What I had to do was wipe SD and caches in TWRP. Flashed CWM from fastboot. Wiped SD and cache AGAIN. Flashed back to TWRP. Wiped SD and Cache. Rebooted to fastboot. Flashed the boot.IMG. Rebooted to recovery. Mounted USB. Windows detected it. Formatted to fat32. Copied the .zip to SD and installed. Problem solved.
Stock 2.20 Rom that's around didn't work, deodexed rooted stock didnts, nor did Android Revolution HD.
I still thank all of you, because even though I got this working myself, it was bits and pieces of every other thread that got me to that point. Thank you all.

Ummmm android revolution is for the international one x.... Maybe that's how u f'd it up in the first place? Idk just be careful the threads are kinda similar ...
No, I didn't even touch Revolution until it was already not working. I was originally just rooting the stock. It wasn't until it softbricked that I attempted any customs.

Hi
At the weekend I tried to update my TF300T from CM10.1 to CM10.2. That didn't work as I ended up in a boot loop. Then I thought, maybe I need to flash the latest system blob.
So I did that, only to find that I then couldn't install anything from zip or sd card as the recovery would not mount anything at all. Still got fastboot, so I've tried TWRP 2.6. TWRP 2.5, TWRP 2.4 and CWM, none of them will mount anything at all.
So I find myself with stock ROM, but no way of rooting or installing any custom ROMs.
I'm sure I've made a bloop somewhere, so all suggestions to resolve welcome!
Thanks
Rob
What is your bootloader? Sometimes, if you reflash the same recovery, it *may* work properly the second time around.
I am using TWRP 2.6 with my 127.5 bootloader, just for your knowledge.

That was the tip I needed - I knew I had the right bootloader but I had downloaded the wrong TWRP (I had flashed the JB version instead of the 4.3 version). Doh!
Now flashed CM10.2 and is running Android 4.3. CPU-Z tells me I'm rooted though at the moment I can't get any root apps to work with SuperSU. I'll leave that for another day!

Hello, I'm using T-Mobile (UK) HTC One SV with JB (rooted)
I follows this link to root my phone and thus I've got the JB CWM version listed in the link.
The problem is when I boot into recovery mode into the CWM, the screen is shifted a bit to left and the cropped/shifted part is appearing on the right! (I hope I'm making some sense with this 'shifted screen' explanation. I'd like to post a screenshot if someone can help me with getting a screenshot in recoverymode) Anybody else facing this problem? If yes, how can I fix it?
On a slightly different note, I'd like to admit that whilst following the rooting procedure mentioned above, I tried to be a 'smart arse' and tried flashing CWM 6.0.3.8 on the device, which just wouldn't load /data with error
Code:
Can't mount /data
and same with cache and respective logs. And because of that I wasn't able to do a backup either. I tried, quite a few times, to format the SD card into FAT32 etc but it was having none of it! :crying:. Then when I slapped myself for not following the procedure, like a good boy , and got the same CWM listed in the link, I was able to do backup and no errors were being displayed in regards to mounting of /data. :good: I thought I'd share my experience on for others to learn from.
This screen flickering is a know problem of this touch recovery.
Its not developed to the end.
I recommend you to use TWRP recovery which is fully functional.

Thanks for quick reply. I've never used TWRP and to be honest, quite new to this depth of rooting, recovery etc. Does TWRP offer similar set of features as CWM? And is there a 'touch' TWRP for this device on JB? If so, could you kindly post me the link.
Most up to date version you will find here:
[TWRP 2.6] Updated 9/21/13 All variants TWRP recovery 2.6
Another (older):
[Recovery] TWRP Recovery 2.x
Yes, all touch and has more features than cwm.
