[Q] Recovery ClockWorkMod v3.1.0.0

Hello, I saw here : http://mirrorbrain.cyanogenmod.com/cm/recoveries/
that the recovery clockworkmod v3.1.0.0 is arrived ! But on the Nexus S, the recovery official is the 3.0.2.4 and the recovery custom v3.0.2.5 (thx)
But, I like have the update to recovery, so I wanna know if there are the recovery 3.1.0.0 for the Nexus S or if a person can modified the recovery 3.1.0.0 in order to it work on the NS ???
Thanx

No idea where those 3.1.0.0 come from. The latest version in the source repository is 3.0.2.8.
However, looking over the commits, there seems no reason for you to upgrade, since you already have 3.0.2.5, which removes the menu entries for hard bricking your phone (format bootloader, radio, recovery).

How you knows that the last recovery clockworkmod is the 3.0.2.8 ?
It's bizar because there are recoveries 3.1.0.0 .... ?

You can look at the git repository commit log:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery/commits/gingerbread
The version is in the Androik.mk file line 29:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery/blob/gingerbread/Android.mk
It says 3.0.2.8.

If this was even a genuine clockworkmod why would you want it ?
i dont see any point in rushing to get the updates before they are supported through rom manager ,, unless it adds many extra features you need!!

Okey. Thx for your posts

[HELP]Problem with ClockWorkMod 6.0.3.2 (Touch) on HTC One SV

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.

Installed this and works great. No more flickering..
However, when i try to flash int2ext, i am getting unable to mount volume ./external_sd.. Any fix to this issue. I am sure it is an recovery issue and since you mentioned it as "added ext_sd" support, i thought it would solve this mounting issue.
Any update on this from would be of great help.. Thanks in advance.

tried the same and installed 0.8 first and then 0.9.....now there is no flickering and a nice interface....thanks

thanks a lot...

I'm affraid I have to disappoint you, I stopped further development of this recovery for the HTC Desire SV. The issue with HTC is the s-on functionality, which prevents modification of the system apps, so I bought a Moto G 2nd gen.

[POLL] CWM v/s PhilZ-Touch v/s TWRP

Hello folks,
Since a long time now...we all are using mostly these three recoveries:
1)Clockworkmod(CWM) Recovery (by @Koush)
2)PhilZ-Touch Recovery (by @Phil3759)
3)TWRP Recovery (by TeamWin)
...for getting our ROM flashing and other jobs done.
This thread is meant to compare these three recoveries in terms of it's global usage. It's just like a survey.
So...everybody is requested to vote on the poll for their most used recovery. Thanks
Just a few words before you vote:
You are welcomed to post the reason for liking and using the recovery you voted for. But please don't post something like: "I have only Advanced version (without any GUI and Touch) of PhilZ-Touch Recovery for my device, so I like TWRP", "Touch doesn't work in my TWRP, so I like CWM", "I have the latest version of CWM but not of PhilZ-Touch Recovery for my device, So I vote for CWM". These reasons are because your device is not officially supported by the developer of the recovery. Vote here only if you are using/used the officially supported build of the recovery.
Recovery is a choice. So, everybody is gonna like different recovery for their different aspects/advantages. Just vote on the Poll and leave a post so that we can know that which of these recoveries are mostly used by users and why. Multiple options are enabled in the poll but please try to vote in only one option...for the recovery you use the most.
Please NOTE: This thread is no way meant to insult any of the developer(s) of above recoveries. This thread is just to know the popularity of these recoveries among the users...can be rather called a 'survey'.

Vanilla CWM is no match for Philz Advanced edition - way more features and fast backup speed if exfat modules have been incorporated. TWRP comes a close second with its file manager and terminal, and is also very quick

I respect your opinion.
But, Are you sure? I hope Vanilla=Stock.
Can you just tell me a feature that's more in vanilla cwm (than philz-touch)?
I do agree that it's code is very neat (really) and the UI is simple...but when it comes to features...TWRP and PhilZ-Touch wins (Acc. to me).
However, cwm has started addition of new features like- Swipe-Touch, Menu color's changing, etc nowadays.

Vanilla (stock) Cwm is no match for Philz = Philz is waaay superior :thumbup: Sorry if my post was confusing to you
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app

I wouldnt say either is superior to the other. They all have their own lil niches and ppl like each for whatever reason.
They are all good recoveries and choice is good.

Ofcourse, that's what I said in first post.

My personal rank:
1. PhilZ Touch
2. TWRP
3. Carliv Touch
4. CWM
I'm using MTK6589.

TWRP because PhilZ errors out on CM-11 update
I just installed TWRP on my P3113 because PhilZ-Touch 6.53.6 could not update CM-11 to the 20140810 nightly & the recovery log says that the file could not be found after logging lots of errors.
PhilZ was looking in as: /sdcard/0/cmupdater/cm-11-20140810-NIGHTLY-p3110.zip
whereas the file was in: /storage/emulated/0/cmupdater
Interesting in that the 1st CM-11 was installed by PhilZ by using PhilZ to do a fresh install.......
PhilZ looks to be quite nice but something need to be changed in the location checking for the CM-11's version; don't know if other versions has a change of naming directories for the Tab 2 7 P3113/P3110.
Will be staying with TWRP for now; kinda like the PhilZ tho.

For my opinion, PhylZ can will be the better Recovery because if dev make compatibility theme and add TWRP options supports to PhylZ, it will make a full Recovery :good:

I super like philz one touch 'clean to install new rom'

I just use them but here's my take:
CWM - Older and more known. Works when all others may fail.
Philz - Almost the same as CWM but has more features - including touch for some devices when CWM doesn't have it - and little extra features like cleaning for new ROM which automatically does what you need.
TWRP - IMO it's prettier and has very good features - but the support on devices is less than the older CWM.
So currently I use PhilZ, but using AROMA for GAPPS seems like TWRP would have worked - failed on PhilZ. Found workarounds.
As stated, everyone has reasons for their choices and preferences. Really, I didn't see that much of a pull to go TWRP (used on other devices) since I had alternatives, and I didn't need to go CWM because - IMO - PhilZ is the same with added features.

I have only used TWRP, stock recovery and CF-Auto-Root custom recovery that flashes SuperSU.

It was fun helping Phil port his recovery to other devices, but it is now deprecated, and the dev no longer active. TWRP is the way forward now.

Philz is the best, always
Hello folks Philz is my favourite and the best recovery always. Maybe u for not know, after the release of TWRP I had contacted Koushik Koush Dutta to involve the special features of TWRP in the next version of CWM. But he was busy working in Cyanogen so he appointed Philip who then developed the CWM Advanced edition Philz Touch.
Now let me say why should u must use Philz or if not possible then CWM touch. Recovery refers to a mode on an Android device to recover and save your device during any emergency. By chance of the touch screen of it phone gets damaged then u can use non touch facility in CWM or Philz.
So if possible use CWM and Philz, and if it's not available for urgent device then contact me on : [email protected]
I will help u out.
Thank You...

i like: "They are all good recoveries and choice is good"

I have only used TWRP for the time being, but it seems to be the only recovery I will ever need.
Feature-packed, simple to use and just plain awesome!

in my opinion, twrp is better as it offers more options and it has an interface built from scratch.
