I want to test something, and I have done it before on Skyrocket Galaxy, but forgot exactly how.
I think I used Odin to flashed a modified pit file, and I successfully bricked the SR.
I can't find a gnex pit file to test.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586807
The rom there doesn't have pit file. I can't seem to able to open the img files in there.
Do you guys have a PIT for me to play?
I think I add "1" in one of the partition address in the PIT for SR before.
Thanks
I found this.
I will test it soon.

You sound like you have experience.
I am going to brick it that way and unbrick it afterward.
I'm not sure how to brick the GN, but maybe you can try that format the whole internal flash memoryvia ADB, and unplug while you flashing this...

That didn't work for me last time for Skyrocket.
I could still go into Odin and flash again.
Need to go deeper into low level like pit or before odin.

You are coming from an HTC device, yes?
A bad radio flash on HTC devices will certainly brick your device.
That is not the case with Samsung devices though. I've seen some individuals with bad radio flashes, and fastboot still works fine to flash a new one.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know if if the Galaxy Nexus suffers from the same issue as the Samsung Moment, but with that phone, flashing a boot.png (on the GN it's the very first static, black and white 'Google' screen when the phone turns on) larger in size that the existing one, or having too many colors, etc would cause an instant perma-brick. I don't know if we're to the point with the GN where we can freely flash that sort of thing, but I know it worked (didn't work?) on the Moment.
The first post here has the list of guidelines for flashing boot.png images that were discovered trial-by-fire by Moment users.
So, are you guys saying it's next to impossible to brick the Galaxy Nexus if just flashing the basic stuff?

You have no idea how relieved that makes me.
I come from an HTC Nexus One and I never once flashed a radio on it, and I didn't wanna mess too much with bootloaders as an incorrect flashing of the two would acquire a brick.
I'm only on user-level (and flashing, of course) so I don't think I'll ever manage to brick it.

Better or worse depends on what you want I guess.
I use CWM 5.5.0.2 because it is extremely stable, and it is NON-touch. The touch-enabled CWM is NOT stable.
For me, having a touch-enabled recovery is silly -- I am in recovery to fix something or flash something, and I don't need a touch interface where I can accidentally touch the screen and it will do something I don't want. And I certainly do not want themes on my recovery. Hell, I don't even use themes on my ROMs...
From my point of view, the only benefits to using TWRP is the ability to decrypt data while in recovery (although I don't use encryption, so...) and compression. I can't comment on TWRP stability, as I have not used it long enough.

I did some research and TWRP looked good. I installed TWRP yesterday. I've made a backup and its very quick. I did not restore yet. I too have not had enough seat time to comment on reliability. .
I'm still confused whether or not I have to or should remove CWM apps or leave them installed? I paid for CWM touch. No biggie I spend more for a coffee at Starbucks.
Is it OK to leave both installed and to go back and forth between the two recoveries if needed? Is anyone keeping both available?
I understand the backups are not interchangeable.

Yes I would leave both back ups installed because you never know if twrp will mess up or clwmod but I highly doubt clwmod will. They are not interchangeable but clwmod can be flashed through rom manager in case your twrp fails and your not near your PC. I wouldn't use rom manager for nothing else but to flash clwmod its very unstable.

I'm using twrp and I have been looking for a thread like this and I'm glad its came about because lately I have had some zip files that will flash but doesn't get applied I'm using twrp but have always used clwm.
This is what I want to know and I'm hoping for a very experienced xda member to help me make my decision. I have problems making decisions when I don't have enough info or I'm not satisfied with the info I have read. I have scoured google and I have read as much as I can on the differences but there's not much on which is better. My last question is if I choose to go back to clockwmod and if I do it won't be touch is it better to flash a zip or can I count on rom manager to flash it because I won't use it to do anything else only because im a firm believer in if you can't flash manually then you shouldn't be flashing.

I have TWRP. I used to use CWM, but ever since getting my G4, that was what was only avail at the time. I really have to complaints on it though...other than the navigation from forlder to folder was easier on CWM.
Cwm is rock solid. Twrp has bugs(backup/restore especially) and lacks dev support.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Since OUDHS is based off CWM (IIRC), I'll have to say that. For the most part I've used CWM without problems anyway.
If you are using roms bssed off cyanogenmod... I say CWM but if your using TW roms go with TWRP

Wow. Didn't expect these comments. Here's my 2 cents. I started with cwm on my DX, then got touch cwm, then started to do aosp on all my phones really started with the gnex. Once I got my gnex ran aosp ever since. Have 3 s3,s as well. Twrp all the way. Never had issues and last checked it was faster. But then again. I haven't used cwm in years

I prefer TWRP, used to use CWM and it never failed me, so I will not complain, it's a preference. My bigger question would be, how would I move a file in recovery to another recovery if I wanted to have a few recovery options? Example, have the original backup on OUDHS and then switch to TWRP, how do you move that file? Sorry, not trying to hijack, but this thread seems like a good place for this kind of a question.
Had alot issues with twrp restoring nands, I went to cwm on my s3.
Twrp it points to backups that get put into the "0 "partition instead of the way it used to let u restore from external sd...in my opinion the multiple user partitions that now get created in custom recovery since jellbean is a huge headache. .. ive lost plenty of backups.. and no thanks to flashing cm10, downgrading to move all info back to internal storage is a train wreck ... I hate the way it is all set up now ..
Twrp benefit is its touch based and u can name your backups.
Cwm seems better but not as pretty.

Easiest way, save a backup with each recovery, that way, when the need arises to switch recoveries, you have it saved.

True, but it is an option, and when I needed it (due to a different recovery) I was in a jam, I had to wait til I got to my home computer. I have now uploaded all my recoveries to DropBox. I have a 32gb sd card, so space is of no real problem for me at this time.

I prefer TWRP. I've never had a problem with it, very reliable. In my experience, it is very well supported and updated frequently. Not to say CWM is bad, it always worked for me as well.

Did anyone else just have a message from T-Mobile pop on the screen about something to with an update?
Just curious because I just did twice, but each time it stated something about me running an unofficial version of android.
After several restarts it popped up again except this time I was able to grab a screen shot of it. I hope this is really it.

Nothing for T-Mobile T999 in my area yet. Make sure you guys mention your device model, carrier, and current build too please. These will all make a difference.
There has been no kernel source released yet though and from what I've seen recently they've been releasing that before or at the same time as the updates. Doesn't mean anything for sure but figured it'd be worth mentioning.

Nothing for me either, says its up to date for my T999, just flashed to NC2 to check :/

Oh, and if you get the update and want to pull it so you can share it here, this is what you do.
Let the update fully download, but when ready choose postpone. Next flash twrp via Odin, then reboot into recovery. Use the built in file manager to copy the update.zip to your sdcard. I think it will be in /data/fota or maybe in /cache. If not just look around for the fota folder.
Or if you choose, flash the supersu zip after booting recovery, then reboot, install a root browser and copy it that way.

Ok, so I'm not new to Samsungs and I'm not new to modding, but the Note 2 is different from any experience I've ever had. I've had a SGS2, SGS Blaze 4G, two different SGS3's (i747 and i9300), and now the i317.
So, here's the issue. I got the phone off Swappa and it was pre-rooted with a custom recovery already. So it really wasn't much to upgrade to TWRP 2.7 and flash CM11. All's good for the next two weeks. Enter stage left: busted USB cable.
I come home from work yesterday to find my dog chewed my charger. I have more at work, doesn't help me at home (45 minute commute). Naturally, seeing as how I haven't charged in a couple days, it died.
Got to work this morning, plugged it into the charger aaaannnddd nada. No charge. I figure, "I remember reading about this in the DN3 thread!" So I borrow the battery out of my coworker's N2 and he charges mine while I use his to flash. And my hunt for bootloaders begins.
I've flashed:
GN2_N7105_(4.3_MK5_permissive_kernel).zip (as suggested in the DN3 thread): no dice.
cwm-i317-ucucne5-modem.zip: again, no dice.
A couple others, I did have about 50 tabs open on my browser, and I've lost track of what I actively have installed.
With each one of those, I checked my Build Info with Android System Info, and it reports my bootloader is I317UCAMA4
I've even tried flashing a couple kernels, including AGNi_pureSTOCK-v4.2.4_N7105_4.4.2_AROMA-signed.zip and cwm-i317-ucucne5-kernel.zip (which coincidentally makes android.process.media and com.android.dialer crash consistently), and still nothing. This is the problem with a device that has a bunch of variations: information overload.
So, I ask the community for help.
What I want: TWRP / CM11 to function optimally and to charge while powered off.
What I need: the proper kernel and bootloader, preferably in a recovery-flashable format, but I'm not too shy to Odin if necessary.
Thanks in advance for your help
re: charging problems
I have two I317's. One has the 4.1.2 bootloader and one has the 4.4.2 bootloader.
4.1.2 bootloader- if I install a 4.4.2 rom, it turns the phone on if I plug in the charging cable. It won't stay off while charging. The charging works normally with 4.3 roms. I also tried this with the MJ4 (4.3?) bootloader.
4.4.2 bootloader- if I install a 4.3 rom and try to charge it with the phone turned off, it hangs on the empty battery charging symbol and cannot be turned on without a battery pull. The charging works normally with a 4.4.2 rom.
For my two phones and 4.4.2, the rom has to match the bootloader for charging to work properly.

I'll give it a shot. I tried the DN3v5, but was getting several FC's and some issues with LTE. No matter what I set my APN to, it would always revert to 3G preference.

Sounds appealing. I'll come back to it tomorrow, about to start homework now. College life stinks.
On this NE5, do I need the pit? And which portion in Odin do I push it to? I'm searching for that now, I know I saw it in a thread somewhere...

Well, oops. I flashed in the Bootloader slot. It seems to have took, Android System Info is reporting NE5 under Build Info. I wonder if I should re-flash under pda....
By the way, thanks for all your help, peoples. I plan on viewing every single thread over the course of the next few weeks (or months, depends on how my classes get) and writing a SGN2 Bible (kind of like what we did over at the Galaxy S Blaze forums). I cant say I'll read them all, but hopefully, I can sift through all the hundreds of pages of threads in a timely manner.

You can flash everything in PDA, including boot loaders. When you flash a single tar with the full firmware in PDA, it contains everything, even kernel and modem and etc.
The reason for all the slots is that some firmware distributions come with separate tar files for each part, and you can still flash them all together.
