[Q] Which or better recovery? - HTC One S

Hello all,
I just finally rooted my One S to try and removing the locked hiden APN for tethering on T-Mobile network.
I installed the ClockworkMod recover 5.8.3.1 but have a problem with the way it is running.
This by the way is with the stock rom yet.
But when I turn the device off now while it is plugged in to charge with this recovery it boots back up to the recovery on its own.
Then I have to play with it for a while with the power button to boot back like normal again.
Did I do something wrong or is this a issue with the recovery?
Didn't see a thread for that recovery though to check.

Just tried TWRP and that one seems to charge ok while its off.
Working better and hasn't given any errors.
Just don't look like recognizes the backups from CWM.

I think twrp is the better one, I've tested both for a long time. Reasons for liking twrp
A lot better interface than cwm
When you switch off phone to charge it doesn't boot into recovery auto
There is no trouble mounting sd card in twrp in cwm there is...

yeah, you won't restore a cwm bu with twrp or vice versa
and as k1llacanon mentioned it seems to be the best recovery for the one s atm

CWM Question

I have an issue maybe. I rooted my GT6210 and installed rom manager, I tried to do a back up through rom manager and didnt work. It did boot me into recovery I cant remember the version 4 something but it was orange. I tried to do a back up but it said sd card not mounted. I did power the tab off and tried to boot into recovery, volume up and power. I was able to get into recovery but it was a different version 5 something and it was blue. Could someone explain this to me? Thank you in advance.
Simple... don't use ROM Manager. It has at best not worked on every device I've ever used, and on some (like the Infuse) it would softbrick you.

[Q] Can't Start Stock recovery mode

Hi
Just Today i noticed that i can't start my Stock recovery mode, I am currently on 8.6.5.21 stock Firmware,
The only thing i did was rooting the Device using NachoRoot and i did not Have any problems while rooting, everything went very smoothly, i rooted the tablet and then installed the superuser app, after that i did batch Backup using Titanium Backup and finally installed rootkeeper
A while ago i tried to boot to recovery mode then i got the picture of the Android with the exclamation mark ( ! ) inside of it.
I would like to know wither this is normal after rooting or not because before i never really tried to boot to stock recovery mode.
if not is there anyway i can retrieve the Stock recovery mode?
I mean as far as i know almost everything you'd want to do you'll have to do it using whatever recovery mode you have.
If there is anything you can help me with, it'd be much appreciated.
Thank you​
come on guys 35 views and not a single answer
at least someone tells me wither it is normal or not
Seems normal to me unless you have something on the Microsd that you want to flash.

so what you are saying is, i have to have a micro sd card inserted with something to flash in order to boot to recovery mode?
I mean what if i want to wipe the data in the device or restore factory settings?
I don't really think it is normal, can anyone please confirm it?
He is right, that is normal.
That is your stock recovery. The stock recovery doesn't do anything except scan for an update file. If it detect one it flash it, if not you get that Android with exclamation symbol. while holding Vol down plus power button and wait till you see the prompt, if you push Vol up within 5 sec it take you to recovery but if you wait a little longer you'll get a prompt to either wipe data our cold boot device

[Q] Odd CWM bootloop

Hey guys, I installed CWM on my buddies HTC one S (ville) and I keep getting a weird problem with CWM. I have successfully flashed CM10 multiple times and have made only one back up. Every time his phone dies and he plugs it in and tries to power it on it boots straight to recovery and after you press reboot phone it boots right back to recovery again and again... The only way it fixes itself is when you restore the back up and then it sets him back to that date. I'm wondering if this is a problem with CWM or something else... I'm new to HTC devices because I have always been on the Galaxy line from Samsung so some of this is a little new to me...
Thanks in advance!!
This is a known glitch with CWM. If you plug it in when its off and try to turn it on, it'll automatically Boot into CWM Recovery. I prefer TWRP personally, had too many problems with CWM and getting into the same exact pain-in-the-neck Bootloop as you're referring to.
As far as I am aware, there isn't a way to get out of the CWM Bootloop unless you just let the phone run out of Battery, get into the Bootloader (Which is somewhat of a challenge with the CWM Bootloop), and then flash a different Recovery from Fastboot. Correct me if i'm wrong on there not being any other way around this.
It's happened to me once, I flashed the.stock boot.img and it worked fine.after that. Not sure if its a fix but it got me outta of it.

Thanks guys I think I'll try TWRP but just to check does CM10 work with TWRP and if so how do I flash a new recovery?
yes cm10 worx with twrp. For flashing recovery, download d appropriate recovery.img for ur device. place this in the fastboot folder or the platform-tools folder.
now, boot into bootloader and enter fastboot then connect phone to PC , it should say fastboot USB .
Now open a command window and use this command---
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img.

Cyanogenmod 10 does indeed work with TWRP as far as I know. Along with mihirengg19's Reply above, there is also an Alternative way to flashing a new Recovery, and that is to use the HTC One S All-In-One Toolkit. Its the easiest/safest way, if you don't know what you're doing.
yes toolkit is great but manually is best...

Any recoverys

Are there any recovered because my phones recovery is messed up I can't press any of the options because nothing happens Sent from my Verizon wireless lg lucid 4G
Try clock work mod or TWRP recovery.
TWRP Recovery
Hopefully, someone can answer this...
How can I 'Down grade" my current TWRP? I am running 2.6.0, and when I first started using it, it was fine. Lately, I have had some hangs when booting into recovery (at the blue TWRP screen) and when I hold power it reboots and goes straight into recovery.
So, I wanted to down grade and install an earlier version that is not as buggy.
Thanks.
i guess u should install a custom kernel with the recovery u want..
dun know much about lg.. :/

[Q] HELP! lg g2 stuck in boot loop

I have an at&t LG G2 D800 the android version is 4.2.2. my phone is ROOTED and I do have PHILZ Recovery. I was trying to do a hard reset or factory reset not sure what the difference is. what seemed to happen in the process is my phone was almost completely formatted and now i have access to only download mode and I can get into Philz Recover still. other then that when i boot my phone up it just gets stuck on LG boot up screen and my LED notification light blinks. need help please. cant seem to find solution or I just haven't looked in the right place yet. if anyone knows how to help or at least point me in the right direction. I give huge thanks in advance.
So you have a custom recovery installed. Good! Head over to your phones forum section and look for a stock ROM if you can find it.
If not then find an aftermarket one. Once you have found one. Download the needed files. Some included Google apps and some don't. It'll state it. Download the two zips or one if everything's together. Boot into recovery mode on your phone, and select storage and mounts.
From there go to the bottom or look for mount internal SD card or external SD card. Mount it. Then transfer the files you had downloaded to the root of your phone. Once done. Un mount it and remove the cable. Go to the menu of the recovery, select factory reset option. Then install the .zips.
Your phone should then boot up. Something must have gone wrong when you had done a hard reset.
Reply back when you've done the above. And tell me how it went.

I have the same problem. I was running 4.2.2 rom under twrp recovery. Then I flasher Philz and flashed 4.4.2 rom. I was unsatisfied with it so I flashed back the old recovery so I could restore the backup. I booted twrp, recovered the backup and reeboted the system. After booting it was saying some crap like this and that procces stopped. Now Im flashing the .zip (just downloaded rom, no data), and after that its there just the boot loop (lg picture and blinking LED). Please help what to do :good:
you should flash via download mode with kdz file to go back to stock
I don't know if it's better etiquette to semi-hijack this thread or post a new thread, but I've created the same problem for myself today. I instaled TWRP recovery successfully and downloaded a CM11 nightly along with gapps for CM11. Today I installed the zips but when my phone rebooted it started the endless LG logo loop thing, which sounds the same as he describes.
I can't seem to boot into my recovery with any key combination. Volume up and power, volume down and power, they all lead to a "Hardware Key Control Mode" menu. At this point my goal is a factory reset. Maybe the same solution that helps him will help me? I need to get the phone into either download mode or to the TWRP menu.
