CWM Recovery

OK so we know the bionics bootstrap recovery doesn't work. I was messing around with Rom manager and flashed the bionics recovery and was successful. Recovery version 5.0.2.5. Then I booted into recovery from Rom manager and performed a successful backup! Gonna hold out on flashing the backup right now but I'm hoping someone that knows a lot more then me will look into this also and see what they think about it and can we possibly use everything without fearing a bricked device .

i successfully created a backup using the bionic bootstrap recovery, but im leery of trying to do a restore without having an sbf handy

Well I got brave and clicked the restore button using the bionic bootstrap recovery. I have 20+ days left to return the phone if anything went wrong. I backed up using the recovery, then clicked restore. Everything restored perfectly. I did not choose wipe data though, as I didn't think it would matter. Just thought I would add that bit of information. Hope this helps guys.

I just used CWM 5.0.2.5 to restore the system backup I made before updating, and indeed it worked fine. I'm back down to 55.11.16 android 2.3.5 (from 55.13.16 - 2.3.6) with seemingly no ill effects. IIRC, I made this system image with the bionic bootstrap recovery app.

Im still on 55.11.16 android 2.3.5 also, I know using Rom manager to make a backup took a lot longer then what I was used to on my OG. Just went through a restore with no seemingly ill effects. Has anyone tried flashing a zip yet? Just glad we seemingly have a recovery that is working.

my vivid will be here in the next day or 2. once i have that, i will risk the Atrix2 and start working on a rom.

Oh no Pirate your switching over to the HTC Vivid? I have been looking at the reviews on that device and it looks as thick as my A2 with the defender otterbox. I'm going to kick my cat if people start abandoning ship on the A2, bummer!
Awesome work on getting CWM to backup and restore. I would love to see some custom roms being dumped onto this device.
Nice! Recovery loads up smoothly on rom manager. This could get interesting...

If your bootloader is not unlocked be very careful as to what you flash!
Try a theme or something that does not affect kernals,
Just my thoughts

Thanks for the heads up!!

I'm unable to reapply the patch up to 55.13.15
Code:
contents of partition "boot" didn't match MTD:boot:8388608:9651a551679347926bb7589bb4b57d8dea357cb4:8388608:b56beaeb976b10b86cdbd38e87024ab16fe1197f
I've supposedly restored the boot partition with cwm, oh well.
This is probably to be expected. I'm guessing I can only get the stock boot partition back with a proper fxz flash to stock...
edit: I don't think cwm is even saving a boot image. I don't see one in any of my backups.
Makes me wonder what it's doing when I restore boot

Just because I'm willing to try things doesn't mean I'm willing to knowingly brick my phone.
Thanks PG!!

Oddly enough it was the Bionic recovery installed from Mod Manager is what I had installed when I bricked my phone.

No. I built several zip files to flash and cwm nor the bionic bootstrap worked.
I think we may have to wait for the official cwm release, with our device in it.

Could you please explain how to do that. I am familiar with flashing using a recovery such as CWM or TWRP. Can that be done that way or do I need to use an RUU on the computer?
Does the bootloader get relocked?

What do you want to do? Go to a Sense ROM? Just go to the Android Development Section and choose one you like and flash it through recovery. Simple as that.

I didn't want to take any chances with a 3rd party rom that just so happens to have sense built in, I wanted the original OEM software. I was having troubles because I was having a hard time finding the correct RUU file to flash. Look at these file names and try and decipher them:
RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US_1.85.502.3_R2_Radio_0.17.32.09.12_10.86.32.08L_release_262092_signed.exe
Or
RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US-1.73.502.2_2FE6772699D8596307CC997452BB8D25.exe
BUT NONE OF THOSE WORKED!
But I found this: htc_one_x_RUU_2.20.502.7_att_us_08022012.exe. and it worked. At least this file name has AT&T in it...

The stock pre-rooted ROMs are all posted in Development as well. You could have just flashed one of those from recovery, instead of having to relock/re-unlock the bootloader and mess with RUUs.

Nope. I mean, not this time I couldn't. What you said is 100% true, I "could" of done that, if I was able to access the External SD card within recovery, which I could NOT do. I could not mount it on the computer, nor could I access it within recovery. I kept getting access denied.

[Q] Switching ROM Help

Hello this will be my first post, although I have been a forum lurker, I have been doing it for awhile. Now my problem is that I want to switch ROM's but i have had problems in the past, I successfully rooted and unlocked the Bootloader with Xfactor exploit. My first time flashing a rom on the hox, I did something wrong and found out that when I did my nandroid backup it failed (Yes I know i'm ashamed I made such a nooby mistake). Luckily I had a friend who knew his way around phones a little better, and flashed it to Nocturnal ROM, It's nice and all but I have had my eyes on Paranoid Android. This time I know for sure I have a nandroid backup and I have a copy on my computer, but I want to make sure there is nothing else wrong if I try. Can I get a line of steps to sort of follow? I did flash ROM's on my HTC Inspire, but it just isn't the same case her obviously. I know you have to seperate the boot.img from the ROM files but that is where my last ROM flash screwed me over.

Try using viperxl Rom , its awesome. If you use twrp there is no need to flash img as twrp does it auto for ya

Which HBoot are you? If you are on 1.14 you need to flash the boot image either via command prompt of flashgui.

Fastboot is easier in my opinion.. Download PA on your phone.. Plug it in and COPY rom to your computer. Extract rom, drag and drop boot.Img inside your adb/fastboot folder. Enter Fastboot on phone. If on windows 7, right click on adb folder and choose "open command prompt here"
Command is fastboot flash boot boot.Img
Success. In bootloader, choose recovery. Flash entire PA zip, flash gapps.
Profit!

Fast boot is also more reliable. A few times I flashed kernel thru flash GUI and it didn't take. Had to fast boot it.

If Viper has made it so you don't have to flash a boot.IMG they have made a pretty big breakthrough and I'm sure that would of been news, just saying. Anyways on topic, is there any other precautions I should take before trying to flash it?

?? It's true, no need to flash boot.img separate with Viper or CleanRom. Just go into twrp, wipe everything and do a factory reset INSIDE twrp and then flash. Follow Aroma Installer and choose your options.
Those are the only "precautions" I'd say. Obviously ensure you have a backup on your phone to go boot from in case there's an issue. That would be the best precaution to take.

I think you guys are mistaken a little with hboot 1.14 it just doesn't change your kernel when you fkasha new Rom so of course if your going from the non jb viper to clean Rom you won't have a problem since its still a sense kernel but going from aosp to sense is a different story if you were to go from aosp to viper either viper you would have to flash the boot img and same with viper jb to a non jb sense Rom....do you see how that works?it just doesnr change your kernel and if your going to a similar Rom you won't have a problem with it it'll just stay on that kernel since it works with that Rom

Ics version of Viperxl will flash the kernel for you automatically.. 2.4.0
Jellybean version 3.0.0 does NOT flash it for you, it has to be done via fastboot or flashgui app. It is an alpha version, turge will include this is further builds but he's working on ironing out the wrinkles...
A few tips for 1.14 hboots.........
If you UPGRADE a rom, you usually won't have to flash boot.Img separate as it will most likely use the same kernel as the previous build, but it's always best to ask before flashing just in case they modify the kernel
If you switch from aosp to sense, or vice versa you WILL have to flash it separate. No matter what.
Or you can boot into Linux and downgrade your hboot but that's not for the faint of heart
Personally, I'd flash kernels through fastboot as you can pretty much guarantee it will stick and be good to go

I have a question, so I'm pretty new to android scene with kernals and roms but I have a basic sense on how everything goes now. I tried the new CM10.1 nightly with JB4.2 and it was great but still unstable for a daily driver. I switched to cleanrom and everythings fine so far but I had some problems with my SD becoming unmountable but I ended up just reformatting it which I don't know if it was a smart idea or not. Luckily, nothing bad happened yet and everything seems to be working fine. I have CleanRom 5.1 and Element 3.2, underclocked and undervolted. Realized that I didn't need this much battery so I'm planning on checking out Viper. (13 hrs and I still have 75% haha)
Problem is, since I switched from an aosp back to a sense based rom I want to ensure everythings fine. I want to flash boot since I don't remember doing it once just to make sure viper installs nice and clean. How would I go about doing this? I pretty much know how to flash it in cmd etc, I just need to know where to get the actual boot.img file and which folder should I place it in. Thanks. Better safe than sorry.
As a side note, between switching roms I did a complete wipe. Just didn't flash boot.img. Oh and I have hboot 1.09 and am using TWRP 2.3 Recovery.
thanks again

You good to go bro! Hboot versions 1.09 have no bounds. You can flash roms, kernels, splash screens, radios etc. There is no need for fastboot whatsoever as long as your on 1.09! :thumbup:
Don't worry about formatting your SD.. I do it every Sunday night to keep my phone on a diet LOL.
I always install roms clean, so I wipe everything in twrp and never do a titanium backup or restore to ensure there's no bugs being caused by me.

Hey I thought I would stop by to say that i successfully flashed paranoid android, one problem the keyboard keeps crashing. What are the solutions for this? A simple cache clear just isn't doing it.
Edit: Scratch that alot of things are crashing. help?
Super mega edit: I learned that i had the incorrect gapps downloaded I flashed the correct ones and it is still happening so that is out of the question

Sounds like there could be a few problems so were gonna go with the most popular ones lol..
1. Sounds like you didn't wipe everything in twrp before you flashed. Make your you always wipe cache, dalvick, factory reset, and system. Then flash Rom followed by gapps.. then reboot
2. Have you restored from a titanium backup? If so, make sure next time its ONLY user apps.. if you restore system apps and data, think of your system settings from one Rom clashing with the system files from your new Rom. They won't play nice together. Only backup and restore user apps+data
3. If the above steps were taken correctly, I would delete the Rom.zip from phone. Maybe download using a different browser. Chrome browser is notorious for corrupting roms.. you could have had a bad download

graffixnyc - so if I understand you correctly (not asking for spoon feeding) I need to root/twrp recovery on 4.2.2, put the file you created for us (thank you) into the TWRP backups folder and restore it from there correct? Just checking.

You don't need to be rooted really. Just flash TWRP and do a back up (just your boot image so it's a quick back up) just so it creates the backup directory structure on your sd card. Boot into android and just put the folder that you unzip from the file in the OP in the same folder /sdcard/0/twrp/backup/HT?????/ folder (you'll see a similar time stamped one that you just made) plop the unzipped folder into there and then reboot back into twrp and restore.
Or you can just flash CWM and then flash that zip like any other zip

Does anyone have the radio.img from the 4.3 dump? Would love to give that a whirl over here in the states, see if anything improves.

[REQUEST] Stock Recovery

Hi there, I'm trying to get OTAs while still being rooted, obviously that can't be done without the stock recovery, my internet connection is too slow and has a limited download capacity(and it's shared) so I can't download the fastboot images and get the recovery from there, and I wasn't able to find it anywhere else, thanks.

OTA do not require stock recovery.I updated my phone in twrp.Just be sure just uncheck update cm recovery in developer options

Really? I thought OTA zips can't be flashed through a custom recovery, and I'd like to update my phone without the hassle of trying to find a flashable zip file.

You have to remember this phone is primarily done by a company that has no issues with rooting CM. Also I am quite sure finding the update zip will not be that much of a hassle. Also not sure if you know this but OnePlus One has put out a AOSP rom of there own. How man phone companies do you know that tells you how to root and puts out a rom.... :good:

Finding update.zip is difficult.Its stored in cache folder(not visible),which gets deleted once device is updated
