What is the best recovery we have ?

Hi I'm using CMW currently and I don't think It's fully setup for our phone and the issue I'm having I can't charge my phone with the power off when I try to the phone powers on when I plug it in and boots to recovery by itself. I tried koush cmw and I'm currently using mondaco cmw I think It's called same issue with both it also just feels like there isn't enough options.
I just download goomanager from the play market and I'm thinking of trying TWRP I read that the back ups between twrp and cmw aren't compatible so I'll just make an extra back up. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm using TWRP now after using cwm for the last month. I think TWRP has better support for the hos. Never had this charging issue though.

TWRP is good, very nice features! BUT : It is not compatible with Aroma for now, so, as many packages (applications, some ROMs...) uses it, I went back to Touch CWM (5.8.3.1) for compatibility reasons, which is also a very good and "standard" flavor.

It works with Aroma now, I used it with the TweakMachine

I use CWm and also found that it turns on to recovery when powered off and charging, but the charging does continue. I do not know why it powers on to recovery, but the charging does continue.

If you're still in communication, please let him know to get in touch with the TWRP team to see if they will share their "trick" to allow flashing of boot.img via normal recovery.

I really liked his recovery--donated too--nice themes--

I installed TWRP the phone can charge with the power off now, and I like the different options more, this will hold me over until 4ext. When flashing new recoveries are battery stats lost ? Should you wipe battery stats ? Or no.

Not sure when the pros recommend it, but I wipe battery stats btw new roms--

It does charge in recovery. HTC phones more or less have the booting up into recovery problem/issue/feature??? after installing cwm. I wipe battery stats after every new rom I flash after its fully recharged.

I've read that battery stats are wiped after every 100% charge.

TWRP is awesome. I've only used cwm for years. When I got this phone I gave TWRP a go and can't go back.
Flashing roms without needing to fast boot the img is awesome. The look is awesome, themes are cool. All the extra features like built in file manager, great!
Sent from my HTC One S

I was also having the issue of not being able to charge while the phone was off without it booting into recovery. I seemed to have "fixed" the problem by turning on Fast Boot in the Power settings menu.
I may try TWRP, since it seemed like CWM always had one issue or another on my old HTC Evo, and this charging issue isn't a big thing but isn't helping me trust it

I'm using the classic non-touch cwm. I had issues restoring nandroid's with twrp so switched to cwm, which i had been using happily on my previous phones.

Can't flash Beatmode v4, any suggestions?

I've tried flashing v4 probably 4 or 5 times now. I've even tried v3 a couple times. Neither stuck... Ove contemplated just factory reset then going through the whole process again..
What am I doing wrong/not doing?
All caches get wiped before flash.
EDIT: I was just able to flash over the ElementalX kernel just fine. I'm still confused on why Beastmode isn't flashing. When I go to install from TWRP, the .zip install time is no less than 2-3 seconds long and then it says finished.

The kernel didn't stick or the CPU settings?
I went into setcpu and it said min 384 max 384 after flashing the kernel.. so I sent min to 384 and max to 1809 and applied set on boot. That worked for.me, but I notice a few bugs. Like the lockscreen won't unlock so I have to hard reboot

work yet? I have the same problem and i am on stock .....wiped dalvik,cache, before i flashed it....it just says sucessfully installed...it flashes very quickly for some reason when I know it should not...did a recovery before i flashed, recovered....still nothing..

Literally just did the factory reset and didn't do a thing. So I just rebooted my backup and am now going on about my business. I'm almost to the point of giving up unless something else pops in my head besides running my RUU and then trying to flash again... too dang lazy for that right now. been trying to think all day and now I have quite a few beers in me, it wouldn't be safe.

Lol, I should say that it would only be a test.. There is no way I am getting rid of ViperXL 2.1.2. Love this ROM.
You think I may have done something with my phone to where it wouldn't install v4 when I tried to flash over the ViperX ROM do you? I keep thinking about that, I don't know if that would have any effect on anything considering I was able to RUU back to stock and flash my current ROM.

That brings up a good point.. but since your RUU'ed it should have gotten rid of any corruption applied by the international ROM..
edit: btw, IceColdJelly is an international ROM that will brick your phone,, currently there is no fix (for 2.20).. don't even try it buddy

This I know, I saw that when I found ViperX 2.6 in the international thread... Going to try the stabilizer from the v4 thread and see if that will work. read a post about page 14 +/- a page said to try the stabilzer and see if that would work.
Edit: Speaking of no fix for bricked 2.20, how's that coming? Jtag looking like the only method so far? Haven't read your WIP thread in awhile.
Edit2: Stabilizer didn't do a thing. I really want to be able to flash this kernel... :crying: Seems like it does a really nice job for everyone that has it working... Might end up with going back to RUU again, when I feel I am competent in flashing everything correctly, in the next day or so.

So I've tried another option..
Trying to pull the boot.img from the kernel using "adb pull /tmp/abootimg". Since that looks like where it makes the boot.img in Aroma. Didn't work.
Just flashed ElementalX v1.14 and that works just fine.

Weak WiFi on jb ROMs?

I have been trying out a few ROMs and it seems the WiFi on the jelly bean ROMs are weak compared to ICS roms. Has anyone had this problem.

I've used Bruce's CM10 builds and recently switching to the official Cyanogen CM10 builds. Last week I tried out Nikez's JB 4.2 AOSP build. I had great wifi on all of them. Like satndin gout in my front yard with the wifi router in the basement in the back of my house good. So it's not the ROM itself. (Though it could be a combination of the ROM and some app or mod you're running)
You might have a weak connection on the wifi anteneas inside the back case of the phone. Take the back cover off, look at the gold pins on the phone, and make sure they are all raised up. You can take a tiny screw driver and pry them up a little more to make sure they are getting good contact with the back cover (which is the antenea). Juts be VERY careful when doing it.
It might not help, but it's a cheap thing to try.

I have tried that too but its strange I can switch to a ICS ROM and I will have full bars in my whole house but with the jelly bean ROMs its one or two bars unless I'm right next to it.

I've got some WiFi tweaks in my kernel that might help. My kernel, Sultan, has the WiFi voltage increased to the max and it has some WiFi signal parameters altered at the kernel level so WiFi networks with weaker signal can be seen. If my kernel doesn't really help then I can build a kernel just for you that forces the system to use the BCM4329 WiFi driver instead of the BCMDHD WiFi driver; that may help. BTW, if you download my kernel then make sure you download the one for Jelly Bean and not the one for Sense.

I tried your kernel and my WiFi is still weak compared to ICS but does seem a little stronger
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app

This is a confirmed issue, its not kernel related, because even with the kernels with improved wifi voltage (which is more voltage than stock), its still a weaker signal than on an ICS based rom.

Is it an issue with proprietary drivers/code or a issue with JB itself?

I tried two different ones but both the same still weak WiFi ... I am new to HTC so I might not be wiping something right but anyways what kind of recovery should I use and what should be wiped every time I flash a new ROM

most users who are S-ON(like me) 4ext has a feature which calls smartflash
before flashing any rom you have to enable smartflash before flashing(if you are S-ON)
and then flash the rom
for S-ON devices it is one way to boot a rom after installation
if you are S-OFF you don't need that feature

So if I'm s off then ext4 isn't really a must have for me

4ext was really buggy for me. 1 of the many bugs I experienced with 4ext was that sometimes after flashing a kernel the phone would get stuck at the HTC screen and I would have t use fastboot to flash a boot.img file in order to get my phone to boot; flashing another kernel in the recovery didn't work and it would still be stuck at the HTC screen -_- If you have S-OFF then use TWRP. Just my 2 cents.

HTC One X restarting itself constantly

Hey everyone, I have the HTC One X and it has restarted at least 3 times today and around 3 times yesterday also.
I realize there are other threads on here but none of them have my ROM or have no solutions.
The bootloader is unlocked (via HTC Dev), it's rooted, and I have the CleanROM 6 R2 ROM installed. It's incredibly annoying considering every time it restarts I have to restore my widgets, set up Swiftkey again, etc. ANNOYING. Please help
What can I do to fix this?
Thanks a ton XDA

No custom kernel at all, just flashed CleanROM 6 and got a new boot splash screen from a trusted guy here, so the only kernel I have is the one that is w/ CR.
Didn't overclock or undervolt.

That is not logical reasoning. A corrupted ROM flash can cause a wide range of issues, multiple or just one.
Also what version of twrp are you using? Did you wipe cache dalvik system and factory reset prior to flashing?

I am using the latest version of TWRP. I followed all the instructions from ScottsRoms.com when I flashed CustomROM 6.

it's a bug with 4.1 jellybean. Use titanium backup to backup swiftkey, and other widgets that resets on boot. Then uninstall them in settings and go back to titanium and restore the apps and data.

I'm also having constant reboots and crashes, 3-4 times a day and if I go to sleep I always wake up to find the phone off, which is extremely annoying and somewhat concerning as I need to be reachable by some people. I'm using the TeamEOS ROMs. I haven't found a custom ROM yet that doesn't crash constantly after a while. They all seem stable at first but as time goes on the crashes get more and more frequent, I wipe and reset as recommended (cache and dalvik) with every flash.

No offense, but it sounds a bit rude to day "don't tell me . . . " when folks are just taking their free time to help you. If you did it, you should tell us exactly what you tried in the OP (which you did not, OP was lacking much basic info). If you want proper help, list as much detail as possible in your OP. Otherwise we can only guess at what you did/didn't do. And it makes a lot more sense to raise the seemingly obvious/easy hints, rather than assume (and have the "easy" stuff go overlooked). Its not unheard of that the "helpers" on here start going into more complicated or drastic fixes; when it turns out the solution was something very easy or basic.
As Occam's Razor says, the simplest solution is often the correct one.
