[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.

[Q] Cannot updade TWRP

Two questions actually. I have a tf300t, unlocked, currently running TWRP 2.6.3.0 and an old CM. Tried to flash a new 4.4.2 ROM, but it failed in TWRP. I read this is caused by having an old TWRP, so I'm trying to update it.
First, twrp's site has the newest twrp for the tf300t at 2.6.3.0. However, the ROM's page says to flash the 2.6.3.2 TWRP which doesn't exist on TWRP's site. Why does it not exist?
Second, I downloaded the linked TWRP file from the ROM's page, but it's a zip. When I try to flash it using fastboot and bootloader, fastboot acts like everything succeeded is fine but the tablet never installs anything. Fastboot reboot does nothing. However, if I try to flash a .blob, it works and the tablet gets the progress bar and it flashes. What should I do to get TWRP updated so I can flash a new ROM?
Thanks!

You flash the twrp 3.6.3.2 zip in your existing recovery not fastboot install it. Then reboot to android. (Required). Now go back into recovery.

Because TeamWin has not released a TWRP working for KitKat ROMs for our device yet. The one available in the OmniROM thread is scanno's own, unofficial build.

unable to downgrade TWRP

I have ran into a problem and came here for help. I was on Android 5.1.1 and I wanted to try omni and a slimsaber build of omni so I tried to flash with 2.8.7.0 and could not get it to boot, tried for days. So I wanted to try the recommended recovery, 2.8.6.0 and tried through fastboot, flashify and toolkits. And I am unable to change recovery. Fastboot flash results in a loop to the OnePlus Android logo but flashing 2.8.7.0 is a quick fix for that but it's the only recovery I can flash. I have never seen a phone not take a fastboot partiton flash. I have flashed back to stock.. Flashed OOS you name it I tried it. I know others have had this issue but never seen a fix posted. Anyone?

I have a .zip that can be flashed on TWRP v2.8.7.0, so as to get TWRP v2.8.6.0
I'll upload it if you want me to. Thank me later!
~noob (you gotta start from somewhere)

Download the img and when are you on the twrp, change zip to img and will appear the img and it will be possible apply it. Its really simple.

To change TWRP version, to upgrade or downgrade, you just have to download the Flashify app from PlayStore and let it do the job in about 10 seconds, without any issue :good:

Did anything work? I'm stuck with the same problem, except on 3.0.2.0 and downgrading out of the question I can't even make any other recovery work!!!
On the OnePlus One, was trying to flash Jgcaap's MM build.

There is no downgrading or upgrading like matters. You can flash any version of twrp via twrp, FIRST GO TO YOUR TWRP AND FLASH 2.8.6 OR 3.0.2 . BOTH HAS FLASH ANY ROMS WITHOUT PROBLEMS.

I already tried. -.- Wouldn't ask if I didn't run out of options.
The flash doesn't work, instead my recovery disappears and I reboot to system directly. Facing problems gives you experience, man :| Not a n00b here.
I found a typical kinda work around by trying this and that. Gonna create another thread to ask, now.

Rooting on NMF26U after TWRP install

Alright I've done some searching with no luck. Just flashed TWRP and have attempted to install supersu via twrp several times with no luck. Everything appears to work from TWRP but it doesn't actually do anything. I thought it might be because I didn't have 'allow 3rd party apps' checked but that wasn't the issue.
Haven't tried with fastboot because I read it interferes with TWRP somehow.. Has anyone rooted 7.1.1 not using TWRP or have any suggestions of what could be going wrong? Appreciate it.

It should be as simple as flashing with twrp and that's it. Do you have twrp RC1 and SU 2.79 SR 2? I've seen a lot of people trying to use older versions of SU because the original post in that thread hasn't been updated. The newest version is 2.79 SR2

Just download the SU 2.79 SR2 zip and flash in TWRP. Make sure you're using TWRP RC1.

Have you flashed this the way TWRP suggests:
first flash twrp via fast boot s you are using twrp but have not really fully installed
Then flash Twrp from TWRP
then flash SuperSU = latest - make sure you are using TWRP RC1
I had no problems flashing TWRP or ROOT following this process....I have also successfully backed up and restored several roms without any issues.
good luck

Yeah, are you using the ( can't remember the designation) or the RC build of twrp. Get the RC version. Also, don't restore backups from the ( pre RC version) with twrp RC 1*** ..

Flashing Procedures

Coming over from Galaxy S5. Am used to installing TWRP with Odin, then flashing ROM's, Gapps, Magisk zips through TWRP. Now I'm reading about adb, fastboot, sideload, etc. Is this the only way or is the old way still acceptable. Thanks for any input.

You can use TWRP. Most of the rom threads were created before there was a viable TWRP version (Sept-21).
But you can't flash OOS install zips. Read the OP posts (multiple) in the 8T TWRP thread.

Thanks...I've read most of the TWRP thread and it looks like I can't flash ROMs, Gapps, or Magisk zips without sideloading them? If that's the case, do I need TWRP at all?

I've done lots of testing in TWRP and I've only ever sideloaded a rom once. Also, TWRP does a lot more than just flash files.

I've been using TWRP for years, and CWM before that. I just wanted to know if I can use it to flash zips or will I have to sideload everything.

Yes, you can flash zips.
