The Recovery Battle: WCX vs Twrp vs CWM

What recovery do you guys prefer?
I've seen a lot of Vivids with WCX these days.
Post your experience with each one!

Stock CWM ftw

CWM still has a lot of issues. It's been causing quite a few hard bricks. Anyone that still has it, I would highly suggest switching to WCX recovery. I have yet to try TWRP but from what I've heard from all the devs, it still has a few kinks. I wouldn't recommend anything other than WCX at the moment.
I don't really see it as whats "preferred". You don't want something on your device that can potentially cause a hard brick. A recovery is something you don't use very often, so it's best to go with the one that just works.

Nice answer, right now I'm on the stock RUU ICS rom with an unlocked bootloader and I want to flash the WCX recovery, I just have to put the wcxrecovery.img in the microSD root, enter in Hboot, select recovery and then flash it with "fastboot flash recovery wcxrecovery.exe"?
Do I have to make a backup of something after doing this?
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Actually, just put the wcxrecovery on your computer where you have adb and fastboot set up. If you don't know where that is, just download the wcxjb root zip from the guide in my signature and unzip it to your desktop. Enter hboot on your phone and select fastboot. Shift + right click on your computer inside the folder you just unzipped and select open a command window here. THEN, type in the command "fastboot flash recovery wcxrecovery.img" and you're good to go.

Crap I moved back to linux after I s-off'ed, is there anyway I can use fastboot without having to dig out my aging Pentium 4?

I know it's possible, but I've never tried it. The best tip I've picked up from the guide was this
- Tip 3: On Linux, remember to run fastboot under sudo

If you have any idea what that means, it may be of help to you.

Stock CWM. Never used anything else, never had problems, never plan to use anything else.

Just download and install the Android SDK for linux, what distribution are you using?
I suppose you're using Ubuntu or some .deb based distribution, this tutorial may serve for you:
Running something on "sudo" is giving superuser attributes to the processes and services that a program or whatever you are running needs to have to function properly. Yes it's important when you flash with fastboot.
If you can flash on a laptop will be better for you, a friend of mine bricked his galaxy sII when he was flashing and there was an electricity short.

I use the recovery-beta2 recovery from thecubed. I tried WCX but I couldn't get any ROM's to flash with it... nothing but bootloops for some strange reason (yes I fastboot flashed the boot.img first people). I reflashed thecubed's recovery right after having issues and flashing ROM's worked again. I'm sticking with what works and I've had zero issues with thecubed's recovery after using for several months.

I know I sound redundant, but does anyone have a link to the latest WCX recovery?

You have to download from WildChild's website.... It's included in his ROM zip. You have to have 10 posts on his site before you can download anything so be prepared to "earn" the download.

Did you use the recovery un-installer to get rid of CWM before you tried the WCX recovery? I remember some people having issues trying to use WCX over one of the previous CWMs without un-installing it first.

Actually your incorrect,its available freely from the rooting flashing thread on here...as far as earning something....dont like participation dont use my work either way tomorrows another day and life goes on now doesnt it....theres no entitilement to [email protected] "earned" comment....

Some people just throw stuff out like they know what's going on... Wow get facts right first bro

Y'know if CWM loops, it's because your rom of choice had a useless ext4 performance tuning script in it that changed some of the mount options of /cache.
If you have CWM and find that after flashing a ROM that does weird things to your Vivid, just reboot to fastboot, then issue "fastboot erase cache" then boot to recovery and format /cache.
CWM hasn't caused any hard bricks, it's ROM developers that aren't properly checking their 'init.d tweaks' and updater-scripts. Now that we have s-off, a bad tweak or updater-script can and WILL make your phone hard to fix.

just used TWRP on my Sprint Gnex and love the interface! I used CWM on my old Epic 4G and it worked great too. To me, seeing all the options on that screen is easier....seems stable.

Great point but how would the average Joe know that about a rom before a flash? I'd love to be able to know that and avoid bricking altogether (but wouldn't we all). any tips?

I don't mind participation... I just find it hard to participate in a forum where I can't download anything. Kind of hard to comment on something that you can't download IMO.

Not sure if this was directed at me but I'll assume it is. WC closed all of his dev threads on XDA (Vivid forum at least) which is why I assumed it wasn't here anymore (yes I searched before replying). Not sure that I've ever seen dev related content stuck in a [GUIDE] thread (maybe a link to the thread that has it) so not sure why this was the place chosen and probably why I missed it. Apparently I'm not the only one since I've seen multiple people asking who can't find it. I appreciate you keeping me honest though "bro".

WCX all the way, ROM's, Recovery, & Kernel. Now, I'm not trying to say that CWM doesn't work, I used it alot when I was rooting & flashing my Aria... but I've had nothing but 100% success using WCX Recovery & ROM's since before I started beta testing for him (along with all the other dedicated members).
I've never used TWRP before, & all I think about when I see that word is Big Booty Shaking!!! ;-)

WCX! I have to say that EVERYTHING that he and his team put out is top notch!

What ROM should I choose?

Hello gents and ladies
I have been using the LQB version of the Serbian official Jellybean update since it went out on Sammobile. Though I am experiencing some unpleasant things which I wish to get rid of.
I use this phone for basic things such as listening to music, browsing, texting and calling but I was negatively surprised that this firmware has lots of issues. At first I had problems sending and receiving messages, then the phone started acting weird when I tried to multitask (switching from the music list to the message box) then problems with the camera that has big issues with video recording and also video playback (video playback is a general issue, not a camera specific one). I have also had problems that lead the phone acting however he liked and freezing for long periods of time.
I just wanted to ask: is there anyone here that has the time and kindness to point me a ROM that is ready for daily use and to hand me a completely noobish tutorial on how to install the ROM?
I would also like to specify that I have installed the LQB firmware accordingly - reseted the phone, restored to factory settings and setting the render 2d thing from the developer options.
Thank you very much and I would really appreciate the effort of an useful reply.

Just take look in the Development Section, there's now a lot of ROMs to choose from... You can try Pure Vanilla, JellyMod, HarshJelly or LightJB... they are all good :good:
Or wait for about a week and give my ROM a try

And as for any ROM, the installation is quite simple.
First things first: root your phone.
You can root it by flashing the zip file Shaaan provided in the Original Development forum. Flash it through temporary CWM ( also by Shaaan in that section )
We're getting fired up now.
You're now rooted.
Flash the ROM:
1. Put in sd card
2. Boot into recovery ( vol up + home + power )
3. Select: apply update from external sd
4. Flash temporary CWM
5. Select again: apply update from external sd
6. Search for your file
7. Flash it
To enhamce your performance flash a kernel.
I'd suggest Pure Vanilla with CoCoreE 7.0!

I do also have another question: I've lost my SD Card (phone was starting doing crazy stuff so I removed the SD Card and put it in my wallet but I can't seem to find it anymore now). Is there anyway I can root without the SD Card (Odin maybe) ?

As far as I know, I don't think you can do it without a sdcard... I have heard of Mobile Odin - but I don't think its compatible with SGSA....

SD cards are not that expensive.
But in CWM you can flash from internal storage too! So try that.

Thanks for the advice, but:
1. What exactly is the definition of CWM? I have seen it around here but I couldn't figure out what it is.
2. I would like to avoid doing experimental things since it's my only phone and I don't wanna brick it or do permanent damage to it.
Thank you!

CWM aka Clockworkmod Recovery. It's a custom recovery used to take nandroid backup, flashing roms, etc. Search for a thread in general section for more (it pinned up there so it's easy to find). There's another recovery which serves the same purpose as CWM which is TWRP (team win recovery project). You can use either one of those and the only difference, twrp is touch screen while cwm uses the keys on the your device to navigate. However, there's now a cwm touch which basically cwm but you can navigate by touch.
As long as you follow the steps correctly and take necessary precaution, you have lower chance to brick your device.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply, it really helped. So the CWM is the recovery mode? (The one that is similar to the download mode?)
I'll probably give it a shot, but I'll have to read the tutorial carefully.

CWM is a custom recovery image.
It allows you to flash .zip files which are not signed ( which is impossible in stock recovery ).
There is a tutorial somewhere in the Q&A or General section of the forum you should take a look

[Q] Remove CWM for TWRP issues

Hi friends
I am currently running my HTC ONE with a Venom Rom and been told I need TWRP to update to v4.1
Cannnot get TWRP to go over CWM :/
I have removed ROM Manager but still boots into CWM
I have installed GooManager and it asks if I want to install the open recovery script, does the 10 second count down, and then goes back to main screen, does not do anything else - I have removed it and reinstalled, still same issue
If I use Goo to boot in to Recovery it just freezes on the YES/NO screen and then says script is taking too long wait or cancel :/ Left it for ages to no avail
When I looked in ROM Manager it did state Twrp was the recovery but stil booted in to CWM - now I have removed ROM Manager as I read on here that might be the issue :/
I have also just checked for CWM APP, and that is NOT installed
Can anyone help or am I going to have to flash a STOCK ROM then go back to Venom?
Cheers guys

So basically, you want to install TWRP recovery replacing your current CWM recovery right? but can't make it happen since everytime you do, you ended up still having CWM?
Try flashing this file using CWM.

2- VERIFY MD5
3- (ironically) use 3 (as in three) command lines:
fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

[RECOVERY] CWM v6.0.4.8

I didn't see a vanilla CWMR thread and since I was able to fix sdcard I figured I'd share the image with everyone. USB OTG isn't fully working but everything else should be good to go. I'll add touch later too and post both. I'm not big on maintaining threads but if you want help I'm on irc and hangouts. Here's the link to the recovery.img:
http://www.oudhitsquad.com/android/HTC/m8/cwmr/recovery.img
I can make a zip later too and I think the link to my github is in my sig. There's some stuff you can check out. Bug report all you want.
Cheers.
Ignore this for a little while. simonsickle brought it to my attention internal isn't mounting properly...news at 11.
Ok, I verified this completely. Backup/restore from both internal and external work fine. I JUST performed these functions. I give this a green light.
EDIT AGAIN: Just verified USB OTG works fine too. I knew it was all working, but someone told me it wasn't...Sprint only since it uses the mmcblk# and not the emmc names. This will kill a VZW for sure. Keep calm and flash all the roms.

Alright, so over here you have your vanilla blended cwmr and swipe. These are the basic, generic, no frills recoveries with everything working just fine. I made zips too if you like that...cheers.

Does this also do differential backups rather than a full backup each time?
How is this working for everyone?

No. If you want that type of specialization try philz. It's really a great recovery with a lot of good features This is for those folks that like the simple life I should update the files though because I've merged with the M8 team already and there is more filesystem support in the new kernel. Hope that helps. Cheers!

The Philz recovery sux, so does the tarp out atm. M8 is in need of a good recovery

CWMR should update through ROM manager now that official nightlies have started. Simple, but stable. USB OTG support. Works for us.

A PhilZ Touch recovery for the Galaxy S5 Plus (G901F) Lollipop

Starting with a nice script by @Phil3759, I compiled a PhilZ Touch recovery for the Galaxy S5 Plus as this phone, by now, is widely spread over Europe. I took also some parts of the cwm from @Chenglu (Xiaolu). I didn't test all functionnalities, but, normally, this shouln't be very different from what is existing for Lollipop. A file is attached. Use ODIN or dd.
All credits are for these two guys, specially for @Phil3759 and many thanks to them.

You are right.
it is a first step and only a strict compilation of @Phil3759 sources. Before adding other properties, I need test reports upon what is working and what is not. Then the first job will consist in making recovery seeing the extSdCard. Moreover, if I compiled this recovery, it is mainly to try to add f2fs formatting in order to replace the ext4 filesystem.

good work, when you get the ext sdcard working I will start using it.
Is this able to use backups made by the older CWM we been using?

issues I found
with touch interface enabled and pressing the circle button, I often by mistake do 2 actions, it seems it repeats even if the repeat key option is disabled.
date/time is completely wrong. time zone is set correct but the time displayed is completely wrong, my local time is 16:37 4 may and its displaying 8:14 5 may.
setting brightness has no effect, always same brightness.
dim screen delay also doesnt work (screen never dims)
ok for now I having to revert to the basic cwm as my extsdcard is exfat.

I didn't try kitkat roms as I don't need them anymore. If bootloaders are not different it could work.
Touch interface is very sensitive. Try to lower the Scroll Sensitivity.
Time appears foolish. Just tick the Qualcomm Time Daemon and you get the right time
exfat is a real problem and I try to solve this question.

bootloader kitkat and lollipop are different

so what issues does different bootloader cause?
I was able to access the recovery fine with a kitkat rom installed.

Good news !
issues with bootloaders : mainly bootloops or phone freezes.
