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.

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.
So no matter whatever recovery I use (CWM, CWM Touch, TWRP), I always get errors saying "E: Can't open....". I just got this tablet off ebay after wanting it for a long time and I've been looking for the past 5 hours trying all these methods I see online, but I haven't seen this problem before. All I want is JUST root on the STOCK ROM so I can remove what I don't use with Titanium Backup. That's it! But I don't know why this has to be so complicated compared to devices I've owned in the past. SO if ANYONE can give me an idea of what to do, it would be greatly appreciated.

What bootloader v. are you on & what recovery v. did you flash?

So when I boot into bootloader, it says:
"Key driver not found... booting OS
Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00e> released by "US_epad-10.6.1.0-20130225" A03"
As for recovery, I've tried all sorts of them to no avail. IF I get a choice in the end of all this, I prefer CWM but if not that's no big deal. Like I said, all I want is the stock ROM with root. That's it. Luckily I haven't bricked it yet... but I've tried about three:
CWM Touch
TWRP 2.5
TWRP 2.3-something?
Currently have CWM NON TOUCH-based v6.0.2.3
If you could provide me with direct links so I don't get the wrong versions that'd be great.
*edit: Also worth noting, with TWRP 2.5, I was able to install zip's AFTER going into MOUNT and mounting /system (BUT NOTHING ELSE WOULD MOUNT!) and then it would read the zip off /system, which APPEARED to be my SD's contents. BUT even though it said "Successful" it actually did nothing because it wouldn't mount.

did you bother searching or reading before you went to unlock it? i see nothing you posted about the modded recovery for the tf300t . that you need with new jb. sounds to me like your screwed by flashing the wrong recovery with the new boot loader. so unless im wrong i think you got your self a paper weight.

I've been reading through tons of posts trying to figure out which recovery works best for flashing zips and/or installing OTA updates. I'd like to get a thread going so that it's more clear which recovery ROM is recommended and why. I've been using TWRP but find the touch to be spotty at BEST, also I got my phone into a bootloop after installing the 174.44.1 OTA update and it seemed like a lot of ppl that had no issues were using Philz CWM. So anyway, please post opinions!
I have the same query.

Have also been reading a lot about those recoveries.
I started with CWM because I had good experience with it on my Acer S120.
Recently (yesterday to be precisely) I changed to Philz CWM after I had to do a reflash of the whole system.
I decided for Philz because of the buggy touch functions from TWRP I read about.
So far I'm pleased with Philz CWM.
Can you link to where you obtained Philz CWM and which version are you using. I have just installed TWRP v2.6.3.0 and it seems fine (I couldn't find v2.6.3.2 which I think is the latest ver).
i had philz cwrm and when i did "restore default" for resetting settings original from menu settings, didn't work. it is a bug and for me, that want a phone complete working, this is important. most users use wipe from recovery but i want that function!!!
now i have v2.6.3.2 twrp and all is workind, even touch slide that before (until 2.6.3.0) was bugged.
same issue of philz recovery for my ex phone htc desire 500.... is philz that insert something error for restoring and even i asked many forum, noone know solution and many users don't know because don't try (or don't want try)
I use twrp with no issues at all (pretty sure the touch bug was fixed a while ago). But then I've also heard that Phil's cwm is brilliant, so I guess it's just down to personal preference?

I read somewhere that it was a typo. Mine says 2.6.3.0 after the install of 2.6.3.2. And yes its running fine, no bugs that I can see.
@slamor. OK, thanks yes its very responsive and seems to be perfect, the date is now correct too. Just that niggling v2.6.3.0 that shows up. I am reluctant to try Philz CWM only because I have several backups that I want to hang onto. Maybe Philz CWM uses the same backup/restore format? But right now it ain't broken, so no need to fix it!

I dont know about that. From past experience I could Never use CWM backups on TWRP and vice versa.
Think about it as ...working.
Hello,
I am running KK on system version 182.46.10.xt926.
My boot-loader is unlocked and I am rooted.
I have xt926-KK-CWM-6048 installed.
When I try to boot into recovery I get a blank, black screen.
I know recovery worked at one time, but do not understand why it stopped.
I was wondering if I should re-flash xt926-KK-CWM-6048 or flash CWM6049-RAZR-HD_M-KITKAT.
Would this actually take care of my problem? Would there be anything else I would have to do?
Thanks for any input.

Try flashing the newer 6.0.4.9 CWM. I also had that black screen problem occasionally with 6.0.4.8 and I think other people did as well. FYI, I was able to get to recovery eventually if I kept rebooting. Sometimes it works on the first try, sometimes it doesn't.
But I flashed the TWRP 2.7.1.0 image that dhacker posted last night and I haven't gotten any black screens yet, even after booting into recovery several times just to test it.
Thanks for the quick reply. Question for you.
If I flash TWRP 2.7.1.0, does that overwrite CWM or will I have two recovery options?
It will overwrite CWM. Stick with whichever recovery you're most comfortable with. I prefer TWRP but some people like CWM more.
And my last question....
Where do I get TWRP 2.7.1.0? Can you send me a link?
And thanks for all the great information. Appreciate the help.

Hello guys,
I have a p5113 tablet that i have been having trouble with. I have tried flashing like 5 different roms and they all boot loop. I think its because I am using an old recovery (Device Specific TWRP 3.0.0-0) the problem is only the old recoveries are working for me. When i flash the latest common TWRP (3.0.3-0) Wiping gets stuck at updating partition details, it wont install any roms it stays at "detected filesystem ext4", and if I try to reset the tablet through TWRP menu it wont do anything. When I use the old recoveries it flashes and wipes fine. When i flash stock rom through odin, the system works fine. I have tried different versions of the latest twrp but to no avail. Thank you in advance for your help.
EDIT: I finally have a custom rom working on this tablet, it is Dhollmen stock 4.2.2 with GT-P5110_PhilZ-Touch-Recovery_6.59.2. recovery, device specific TWRP 3.0.0-0 would give me error 7. Im very happy but I would like to get Marshmallow on this tablet if anyone can help with that.
Install the 3.0.3-0 common TWRP, then try to format data (Wipe ->Format Data-> type yes). Reboot recovery once and then perform a wipe of all partitions (Wipe->Advanced Wipe-> select everything). If you get stuck at "updating partition details..." just wait. It could take as long as five minutes some times to get unstuck.
This is the link for the thread of Slim6, the mm rom I recommend by Andi:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/galaxy-tab-2-unified/rom-slim6-t3414798/page1
And this is an aosp mm rom also by Andi, try it if above fails
http://builds.unlegacy-android.org/aosp-6.0
Flash both with TWRP 3.0.3-0
If problems continue, post the recovery log (you can find it after reboot at /cache/recovery/ )

have you used the twrp on the http://andi34.github.io/ website? and roms compiled before 3/22/16 dont flash with common twrp when I updated twrp I had downloaded the zip and went into twrp to flash it I havent used a pc at all to install twrp and root . so I just put the zip on my sd card and it updated it did you update twrp with odin?
Thank you for your reply,
Yes I used the recoveries from Android Andi, and yes I have installed recoveries in zip form through recovery and Odin. Unfortunately neither have worked. I did use the latest recoveries when I tried to install the newer roms but it just gets stuck, I can't even make nandroid backups it also gets stuck with the newer recoveries.
Edit:
@ john99ap Sorry i just got home, I tried what you said but it just got stuck at both wipes, I waited 10 mins but a no-go. I found the logs, I couldn't paste them in here because it exceeded character length so I put it in pastebin. I didn't know which log to use so I am giving you the ones that I think are more relevant

I can't find anything in these logs
I need the log in which you try to install the zip file.
Try this:
-Install TWRP 3.0.3-0 (if it's not already there)
-Reboot and delete all recovery logs you can find
-Install the zip without doing anything else before or after so that the log is as clean as possible
-Post any log you find
PS: you could upload logs in your reply by hitting the button with a stapler on the bottom left corner
Thanks for your reply, sorry about the old logs, here are the new ones like you requested. Hopefully you find something in these new ones. Thanks again for all your help BTW I don't have any staples in my advanced reply so I had to use Pastebin again sorry. I think its because of my low post count.
pastebin/UcntGLTZ
pastebin/Fq8V7WUf
PS: Not even the reboot button works on 3.0.3-0.
Sorry but I can't find anything in these logs either. Maybe it's my fault since I 'm not an expert
At your first post you said device specific twrp gives you error 7. This is caused by a safety check in which your recovery checks if your device is compatible with the rom. In your case, it must be a mistake of the recovery (I had the same issue with my p3110 device specific twrp). So you could just remove the safety check.
Here's how to do it:
- Go to the zip you want to install and find the file /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
-Edit it with a text editor and remove the first line (it begins with asserts and ends at the first semicolon)
-Install the zip
Good luck!

Awe thanks anyways dude, I really appreciate you trying. One last thing, on Andi's website he say that device specific 3.0.0-0 recovery should work to flash the latest roms. If anyone can confirm this maybe I can get the new roms working on it. Thanks again for all your help john99ap :good:
