How do i put a password or lock on recovery so someone cant get in and wipe data without my authorization....
Unless the app was written to allow password(which it isn't) it won't work.
Why would someone want to get into your phone and wipe data??
Just use screenlock so no one but you can access your phone

Just make a nandroid backup and save the image on your computer instead of SD card.
its becuz my friends android was stolen and he had a tra king on it but the thief wiped the fone so the locater app desapeared...I have that app and I don't want that to happen to me

There's a few tracking apps out there that lock the devices bootloader/recovery (can't remember which one gets locked) but I don't think they are free

Yea what app is it, I use cerberus and it is about the only option it doesn't allow. Also a password is a great way to prevent this anyway this coups be added? I use 4ext recovery this sounds like a great idea for the next version
actually cerberus has a flashable zip for rooted phones. go to there website and look under FAQs, download it then flash it via 4ext or cwm and viola its stuck in the system

Right they should put the option of making a password on recovery 4ext it'd be nice to know one can't wipe all of ur data if ur phone is lost or stolen that ur tracking app can't be wiped out

Very valid point about the wiping everything off the phone. Got me to thinking so I popped over to the 4EXT thread and asked about a password option. We'll see what madmaxx has to say.
Edit-->so he got right back and asked why since whoever would still havee access to the bootloader anyway... :/

well if you were that paranoid about it, you could chuck a ship hboot in there, so that they can't flash a new recovery. use misc_version to set your main version to over 9000, so that no one can flash a stock rom. set S-On once you have a custom rom set up how you like, etc.

Rooted my desire yesterday S-offed and everything was working fine. I attempted to flash a custom Rom and now all I recieve in the HTC screen. I have tryed installing several roms and nothing works. I can get into the recovery with no issues. Just I cannot get into any roms. Any Magix fixes I can try? Or should I just Fastboot and start over?
Edit. Fastboot doesnt work. But I can get into the CWM Recovery. Which is also the newest version.
And you always followed installation guides for all roms carefully (like sd card) and flashed version that corresponds with your hboot?

Yup Followed everything. I have done this all on my incredible 100 times. So I am aware of the steps to get Roms going.
Wiped all user data?

Cool. Personaly i like 4EXT Recovery and you can partition your sdcard with it to, you can get it in market or google 4EXT for thier own page. Some devs recommend that you use a recovery that is best with thier roms. So please read before flashing a rom and read other forums about it for more info. And you get into recovery by powering off your phone then you hold the volume down button + power button. Dont forget research n read

And i feel your despare.....what if you deinstall rommanager/Rom toolbox (its a crap piece of software anyway) and only reflash a recovery with the fastboot commands, then enter it and check if it works.....
Its a strange issue and the right guy (or girl) has to scroll by and see the problem. This might take time
what do you mean two recoveries? when you boot it goes to one and when you into boot recovery the other?

Nova launcher
Nova Launcher, Holo Locker then download the ICS Dialer, JB Messaging and JB Contacts app from appstore. That's about as close as you'll get without flashing, in all honesty nothing will go wrong, you've already rooted so I assume recovery is installed so you're 99% there.

Just follow the steps on the one click toolkit, all you need to do is unlock bootloader then install recovery and reboot and done. Just make sure you download the correct one (GSM or CDMA). I've flashed this device plenty of times in the 3 month I've had it with no problems at all, I've also messed about with my last two devices with no issues. And I'm only 17, I'm on an apprenticeship wage so I can't really afford a new device but it's really worth doing, if something goes wrong you can always depend on the people at XDA to help you out in recovering it.
I use MyOneV, its based on Sense Lite but I do prefer the Cyanogenmod based ROMs such as CM10 but I can't get enough of the Sense camera.

Installing apps of jb will not help... The smoothness....!!! The feel of using it will never come at any cost... And dont worry, i hav flashed roms approx. 50 times and nothing went wrong...
Recovery:- try twrp 2.4.4.0 and choose the correct one.... i.e. u r primoU or primoC...
Kernel:- flash dat seperately via fastboot..
Rom:- its up to you...!!!
P.S. please do not be on stock... Try a sense rom if u like it... But no stock... Its not deodexed so u cant even mod it freely...
R: Apps to make jelly bean without flashing rom
Flashing roms is easy once you flash the first one
I suggest you to flash CM 10 but since you want jb feel without it so here you go :
Apex launcher
Holo locker
Camera jb +
Clock jb+
Flash Google now for stock ROM if you want
Jelly bean status bar
Jb messenging app
ICS dialer
Install this much and you are good to go and I highly recommended you to flash Google now its the best feature of jb and flashing this also will not change your ROM or system but since you mentioned that you don't want to flash anything its your choice but its highly recommended
Yes I have flashed google now and am thinking about flashing a Rom. I have noticed google now has a horible amount of lag though.. and is there anyway I can flash a Rom without flashing a kernel as for that would require me to use a computer and right now my computer is down. Or can i flash the boot.IMG using just ny phone?
