What do you use to install/change ROMs? - Thunderbolt General

Hello,
I was just wondering what you all use to change and install different ROMs on your phones. Do you do it manually? Or do you use something like ROM Toolbox Pro? What is best/most reliable/easiest?
Thanks!

When you get root access it installs clockworkmod recovery which is where you flash roms. I use 4ext recovery instead though because it is much much better IMO. Plus it it touch too.

I use 4ext exclusively. I also use superwipe. The other recovery options for the bolt aren't nearly as good IMHO. Rzr is outdated. CWM has too many issues. I just plain don't trust TWRP after the update prior to our most recent version...
*Thunderbolt 4G*

I also use 4ext for the exact same reasons as QuickDraw. It really is that good.

Clockworkmod has touch too. You just got to install it yourself. Honestly I've found the CWM works fine, but others are definitely an option.

Yeah I know. I've read to many posts here lately where users are having problems with cwm recoveries quite often. I don't think I've had a bad flash since I've used 4ext.

I've rooted both my husband's and my own HTC Thunderbolt and have installed/changed ROMs to improve (for example) some of the following things:
Stability
Speed
Less Bloat
Configuration Options
etc
Currently using JellyBlur v1.3 (CM7.2/AOSP) and I'm impressed. My husband is using Skyraider Zeus (HTC Sense) at the moment.

Recommended ROMs

I know there are a few of these threads in other device forums but I am posing this question to G2x owners only. What is the best ROM in your opinion for use on the G2x? I just rooted mine and have ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0 running with ROM Manager in place. Now it is time to play. A little background, I am a Red Hat instructor so any ROMs a linux nerd might find useful that play nice on the G2x hardware would be awesome.
I've used weapon g2x for a while and it was pretty good. Switched to cyanogenmod 7.2 and it's also pretty good. I've heard phoenixblood is also amazing.
I recommend you just jump in and try them.

Mileage varies with different people so the best way to pick a ROM is to try them yourself. Make sure you use Titanuim Backup to help keep your apps and data through the changes.
cm nightlies is what I use
i like the bionix theme

I would also suggest not using Rom Manager. It can get you in trouble.
I like pheonix blood a lot. It seems the most stable and full featured.
also, a linux nerd might like Terminal IDE

I never knew why people use RM. Just boot into CWM. RM can **** up at times. I've even seen it brick some people's phones. Also, the G2x uses a modded CWM. So using RM wouldn't be a good idea either way.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I flashed my first ROM with ROM manager, and of course something went wrong, and the G2x wouldn't boot up. At the time, I thought I messed it all up and bricked my phone.
CWM is just a safer option. Even if the flash goes bad, you can still boot into CWM and do a nandroid restore, then it's like nothing happened in the first place. Plus after you've done it once, it's actually a really simple process to do, but now you have an added safety net.
Yupp use cwm much more stable and easier? I used rm and it soft bricked my phone. Managed to fix it tho with nvgflash

The recovery partition on Tegra 2 devices works very differently from the recovery partition on almost all other devices. Rom Manager works around this by simply installing it's own version of CWM on a portion of your system partition (I'm fairly certain that is where it places it, but I could be wrong). The Tegra architecture protects certain partitions from being written to while in anything other than recovery or NVFLASH. This prevents certain blobs from being flashed properly with RM. Also, some options can wipe the partition the RM flashed 'CWM' is on, completely removing your non NVFLASHED recovery. While it is extremely rare that this CWM could do permanent damage to the device, it's just generally safer and more consistent to use the 'real' CWM that you flash to the device with NVFLASH, as it is on the proper partition and separate from any partition that a ROM might attempt to format.
Makes sense. Goodbye Rom Manager. Thanks guys.

I would suggest you post questions in the Q&A section. I thought this was the touch version for our phone.
Nothing better than Nvflash. Rom Manager can get you in trouble if a flash goes wrong. It has been known that some backup made with Rom Manager glitch with Nvflash.
I've tried thar option. It just says its not available for my device.

I just like rom manager for making my backups is all. I figured it wouldn't really flash it anyway but I was just curious if it was compatible. Since I'm in the middle of moving it's not really a good time to be playing with my recovery anyway...
And the only problem I've had with rom manager backups is renaming with a space in between. Stupid rom manager...

TWRP...just do it

Hope this is the right area to post...
Just want to say in my years of modding Android I have been using clockwork recovery exclusively. It was the only thing available really. It worked great. I was used to the interface and I was just plain comfortable with it. Good ol trusty CWM!
So now this team win recovery becomes available and I'm like do I really need this? What's the point? Cwm works and I love it. No need to change. I can still backup, restore, flash all roms and mods with no issue. Anyway it seemed like the twrp was gaining some traction. So I figured id give it a shot.
Wow. So glad I did. I mean it seriously loads up so nicely. The interface is a lot more intuitive. It has all the same capability as cwm and then some. Its amazing. Somehow the backups and restores only take about a minute each! How do they do that?!?! Cwm takes about 15 minutes to backup or restore! And you can flash multiple zips at one time! Again that is another amazing feature.
The point of this post is just to let those of you on cwm know what you are missing. Seriously you gotta try TWRP recovery. You just download the zip from the thread in development and flash in cwm. After one reboot...boom...game changer ...you'll see

Are you using the compression with your backups? It seems so far a step up from cwm IMHO.
So reading this brings up the question (from me):
I'm currently on CWM with the latest Cleanrom dev edition. How would I go about safely changing recoveries on over to TWRP?

How big are your backup, I had to check the compression option, which takes it a little longer,but this is by far IMHO the best recovery I've seen in years.
I'm from the EVO LTE side of things and CWM isn't available yet, so we're forced to use TWRP, boy let me tell you'll never go back to CWM once you use TWRP. Flashes and back-ups are done in what seems like 1 minute. The touch interface is great. GUYS JUST FLASH IT AND FORGET IT!!!

Dual Boot?

I was able to find some work done on the S3 before it was unlocked but can't find anything current for the S3 and dual booting. Has anyone made any progress or is anyone working on it? There are so many awesome roms out there but it's nice to have a daily driver and a slot(s) for test roms.
Boot Manager is an incredible app that I bought when I had the Nexus. Unfortunately, it seems development is dead.

Boot Manager allows multiple roms to boot from the sd card. It works for the Nexus just wasn't updated for the S3. Seems like an experienced developer could write an app or recovery that allows roms to install and run from sd card. If locked Moto phones can do it (Safestrap), surely ours can.

Moto's rom storage location is different than ours, the entire internal or at least most of the internal is able to be written on using safe strap. And besides, restoring a nandroid backup takes the same amount of time as safe strap does to transfer the data between the 2 partitioned rom's.

You got me there. I'd throw out BootMenu but we don't have a Webtop partition, so I know that'd be shot down.
So our only hope (app wise) at this point is Boot Manager? The app description says the only Samsung phone it works on is the Nexus. Anyone know what's different about it compared to the S3 (in terms of boot partition)?

Former Boot Manager Addict in Recovery
Honestly, when i had my DX, i was a boot manager addict! you couldn't tell me there was anything wrong with it.
however...
used to have leeeetle minor bugs i had to live with due to how Boot Manager worked. and flashing themes was a pain in the A$$
today i'm in recovery, but still a flash-aholic. all i do now is just flash a rom, get it just how i like it, make a nandroid of it, and can flash back and forth all day.
tired of Synergy, flash TWRP, click on restore, and walla, i've got Paranoid Android up and running... tired of that, and next its Beans Custome Rom 11, and so forth. only annoying thing is that when you add to it after you make a nandroid, and dont upgrade, then you have to go back and add the changes.
but trust an old addict, this is waaaaaay better, and not much slower than Boot Manager!

I agree that backup/restoring isn't THAT bad but I just miss being able to boot to random roms without much hassle. I had 6 current roms on my Nexus. With BootMenu (not to be confused with Boot Manager) on my Maxx, changing between system 1 (phone rom) and system 2 (webtop rom) was literally as fast as rebooting. Just reboot and a menu came up to boot 1st, 2nd, or recovery.
I'm not complaining about my S3 by any means (best phone I've had to date) I just feel pretty sure it IS possible to dual (or multi) boot if some one with the knowledge took the challenge. Quad core, NFC, battery changeable, 4.8" screen, fully functional Jelly Beanable, LTE piece of hardware booting CM, AOPK, MIUI, TW, AOSP, [you name it] with the click of a button. Gets me excited just thinking about it. Wish I know enough to take the project on myself.

I pointed that out on the last page. Do you know WHAT is different about the boot partition that it only works on the G'Nex and no other Sammy phones? I entered my device in manually in Boot Manager just to see if it'd work but it couldn't back up my phone rom (because of boot image).
Unless something is incredibly special about the G'Nex, perhaps the app could be adapted for other Sammys.

[Q] Recoveries options

Hi folks!
I'm getting a Xoom next week (a little late, but better late than never!) so I'm new to Xoom related topics.
I took this weekend to read as much as I can about the device, methods and options available for it. And I got very impressed, there's a lot of stuff, which is a good thing!
But one thing in special got my attention: the recoveries available here.
I did not dig up that much on the forum, so I just found this two:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235170
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074979
The first one is based on ClockworkMod 5.0.2.8, and the last one, as far as I understood, is based on ClockworkMod 3.2.0.0.
I know this is a very particular choice of the developer, basing his(hers) work on whatever he(she) sees fit, but here comes my question:
Why no one mention this option here: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.8.3.1-wingray.img ???
I got this link from CyanogemMod wiki: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Motorola_Xoom_(Wi-Fi):_Full_Update_Guide
And looking at the numbers I can tell the first two options are very outdated... Someone ever used this 5.8.3.1 version?? It has any known issues?? Less features??
Maybe I'm being stupid by asking these questions, but I prefer not to be in doubt.
Thanks in advance!
look also TWRP recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782235
Thanks! Seems very nice!
But I'm really curious about the official ClockworkMod recovery that I mentioned.
I've used the official CWM for xoom and it really sucks compared to some other options we have. It is good but there isn't an option for installing from internal SD card and nandroids to internal SD card. The font is much bigger and more scrolling is needed.
I personally think Team Rogues touch recovery is best, I use that permanently.
Team EOS have a later version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604014
TWRP personally I hate, maybe we got off on a bad foot but I really dislike the interface and the way it works.
Give them all a flash and see what suits you, it's relatively easy to switch between them so it's not a hassle.
This is what I want: some opinions about them. Thanks!
Team Rogue's seems very nice indeed! I'm very inclined to use that.
In this link you sent me there are some big letters saying it's depreciated and tells us to use TWRP instead, which is very nice too!
Don't use the official CWM as they aren't optimized for the Xoom and don't have external capabilities. Stick with either the current EOS or Rogue recovery. Imo TWRP is the best because it allows you to compress backups and flash multiple zips at once. It is also a full gui and therefore easier to navigate. Lastly it incorporates a file manager into the recovery, CWM doesn't have that. You can also look the screen while in TWRP to prevent accidental execution of commands.

Then I pressed Vol up + Power to reboot my device. No options appeared...
I installed Tiamat's 3.2.0.0 rc4 recovery via command line. Apparently everything went good, but when I adb reboot recovery, I get the same lying Android screen with no options (seems that Tiamat's recovery was not installed, yet no error message appeared during installation..)
What am I missing?? What are the buttons combinations to get the recovery options??

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery the-recovery-you-want-but-the-better-is-twrp.img
after flash (look on the screen of xoom for confirm ) press "vol up + power" , xoom reboot and you see motorola round red logo, WAIT 3 second then press "vol down" , you see "Android Recovery" confirm with "vol up"
After I adb flash, I fastboot reboot... Didn't do any button combination.... maybe that's that...
