Ive been using recovery 5.0.2.7 and I flashed new Recovery 6.0.1.4 threw rom manager today and it almost screwed my phone. I booted into 6.0.1.4 and it would not flash anything. I rebooted and my phone was stuck on boot loop. Luckily I made a backup on the old recovery. it took forever when i restored (30 mins stuck on restoring). and it didnt even say complete. I had to pull battery, powered back on and restore had actually completed (lucky) ....Has anybody flashed recovery 6.0.14 and experienced this issue?

Yea, It almost ruined my phone as well. I ended up having to restore to an older version. It wouldnt let me flash anything, constantly hung or restarted, and never actually told me that it finished, though when I rebooted it turned out that it did finish flashing, although much of it was messed up, almost like it only flashed certain parts of the rom.
I've had very similar experience with 6.0.1.4.
I'm glad I'm not alone, I thought it was just something I did wrong.

5.0.2.7 cache wipes and fix permissions do not work for ics hence the scripts. 6.0.1.2 worked great. i've had problems with 6.0.1.3 and eventually started using twrp. no regrets.
I'm using sk8's CWM 6.0.something touch recovery and everything is working.

I didn't flash 6.0.1.4 from ROM Manager (blackwing version), but I flashed it from CWM and I just got a boot loop while trying to install CM9 09-23 Nightly.
Did a battle pull, and tried to do stuff in CWM6 and it was super slow and nothing would flash. I couldn't even wipe caches or do a factory reset.
I ended up doing a Restore (which never finished) but did a battery pull and luckily I was able to boot into my previous ROM.
I never had any issues with 5.0.2.7 thanks to Darkside Super Wipe and Cache scripts, even flashing ICS and JB ROMs.

I had the same issue with 6.0.1.4 non-touch. But the touch version is working just fine.
Make sure you wipe dalvik cache and wipe partition before flash.
wow, I also had flashed the non-touch recovery and that's when I started getting all my problems.
I'm still using v5.0.26 and darkside superwipe, no issue at all roms
Twrp 2.2.2 is stable
another case of a product becoming a paid product while losing quality in the process.
Im currently running a Nandroid backup using 6.0.1.4 and its hella slow... like 20+ mins and still running, this is beyond bad. On 5.0.2.7 it ran in about 5mins.
Is the touch recovery better?
Edit: Now its at almost 40 mins... yeesh

I had the same exact problem with it yesterday. I was trying to restore my backup, so I tried to do a wipe/reset and it wouldn't do anything. So I just restored my backup anyway and it would always just stop at restoring secure.android. So I took out the battery and rebooted and my backup was restored. So I tried ROM manager to flash back to 5.0.2.7. But it constantly forced closed. So long story short, I'm now using twrp and I like it better.
Omg I thought I was the only one with this problem. Took me forever to get my phone working again. Had to Odin back to stock. 6.0.1.4 touch was working fine though (installed using Odin)

on 6.0.1.4 and 6.0.1.5, mine just hangs on "backing up .android_secure" and the progress bar never moves. I've waited up to 40 minutes with no progress. I've never completed a backup since I switched from 5.0.2.7. I'm going to switch to another recovery.
Hi guys, so I was using wicked ROM, whenever I tried to boot into recovery, it just rebooted back to system. Odin'ed back to stock, flashed twrp through goo manager app, but still no use. Any help greatly appreciated

What methods have you tried?
adb reboot recovery is the easiest way to get to recovery
Maybe try flashing CWM, seeing if that works, and then flashing TWRP (I've never flashed TWRP through Goo Manager so I don't know how that works)?
If you don't have adb set up, get quick boot from market and try recovery through that.
If that doesn't work, I honestly don't know. I'm assuming you've done the power off then volume up+home+power at the same time trick already.

With the goo app, I can boot directly into recovery, but my issue is that I get to the Recovery's splash screen, it hangs there for a second and immediately reboots back to system. I'm thinking to get the stock recovery back and try again I'm really not sure what the Hecks going on

I would highly recommend putting TWRP back on there. The CWM was more for testing... people have reported issues using CWM with certain ROMs. Glad you were able to get CWM on though.
Nothing wrong with CWM.

There are a number of ROMs that do not support CWM so that statement is false. FreeGS3 loses update functionality, for example.
Also, there have been complaints in the case of CWM touch of it being too easy to wipe your entire device.
Not to mention there is no Goo Manager functionality without TWRP as well.
Lots of benefits of TWRP versus CWM. I used CWM for years then had to switch to a modified TWRP for my MAXX and was more than happy when I found out the SGS3 used TWRP as well (although I wish we had the ROM slots like the MAXX though - that was actually cool)
The statement is not false. I think FreeGS3 hasn't been updated for 4.5 months? Maybe not the best example. And I still think you should use as few automated tools as possible where flashing is concerned (Goo/ROM Manager).
It can be easy to wipe the wrong partition in CWM, if you are careless or illiterate. In the 6 months that I've used it (nearly every day), I have never once wiped the wrong partition, or my entire device. Never had a backup that wouldn't restore.
I like some of what TWRP offers. But I still experience showstopping bugs with it on my device. At this time, the devs are unable to track down the cause of the problems.

Don't get me wrong, I've used CWM on many devices for years and even have a premium license for ROM Manager but I've seen a number of ROMs explicitly say not to use CWM, FreeGS3 was just the first that came to mind. I don't flash often because quite frankly, I have no problems with Wicked v8 and see no reason to switch to anything else.
And I am neither careless nor illiterate but I have accidentally borked things using CWM before in the past (it was a modified CWM Touch recovery) and I was not happy.
I think most of the complaints about CWM these days though come from CWM Touch, not regular CWM. Sorry TWRP has issues for you.
OK, so I'm getting a new issue, I changed to AOKP and I had problems with the ROM saying I needed to wipe data, I did, the issue persisted for few reboots, now apps won't install, and for some reason the /data folder still displays apps from my previous ROM ugh I don't know what's happening
Oh and for some reason the app exchange service kept force closing

Which recovery? Try erasing data, cache, and system three times each and reinstalling the ROM... If that doesn't work you might consider doing a back up of everything internally stored on your phone and then wiping the internal storage entirely and starting over.

I see a lot of people complaining about TWRP related issues with various versions of this recovery.
Is there any reason people don't talk about CWM around here? I've been using different versions of cwm touch and twrp ... And I'm honestly pretty happy with cwm.
Why does it appear that people avoid talking about cwm? ... If indeed it works as well as it seems to me that it does?
One reason is that a lot of people think it's better and recommend it to others. I used cwm on my old evo and was going to when I got my s3, but most people and roms were recommending twrp. I've been using it and have tried out cwm as well. For me, at least it hasn't been problematic, but I don't download them through the goo manager. As I feel like I have less control over what I'm getting (I don't even know what version I'm getting until after I download it). That, and I just don't trust the phone to download without errors even when on Wi-Fi.
Just my two cents.

I just actually switched to cwm a couple days ago because twrp had been giving me backup and restore problems.. everything twrp can do cwm does also, and it seems to be faster backing up and restoring also, but that might just be placebo... devs recommend twrp because that is what their Rom/kernel/mod was tested with... 99% of the time cwm will work just fine also

Actually, having used both, I think TWRP had been the better of the two because of the ease of naming your nandroids and the fact that backups in TWRP don't take up so much space as the CWM backups do. Have you seem the crazy Blobs folder in CWM? I like backing stuff up to the PC, but the CWM backups made that process extremely painful. I don't know what happened to make TWRP so unreliable recently, but I just noticed a newer version is out: 2.5.0.0

There's nothing bad about CWM, but is 2013 and you can't rename your nands which is very important(not necesary) in a phone which date as 1970. Also the touch version looks like a '90 recovery.
But if you want a issues free TWRP go back to 2.3.3.0.

If you update from goo manager, a pop up will tell you what version you are about to install beforehand. Also the webpage that it takes you to in order to start the auto download also states the name of the .IMG which also indicates version. I know what you mean about trusting downloads from the phone though. I personally think that is the reason a lot of people have issues with twrp. I've always updated to the latest twrp and flash almost daily, but have never had to switch versions because of bugs. All versions have ran perfect for me.

I've used both for quite a while. I used to only use cwm for the longest but decided to try out twrp because of those ridiculous blobs! What's with that? So I decided to try twrp and I've stayed because of all the little features like a warnings before you wipe things you shouldn't, option to flash more than one zip at once, option to clear cache and dalvik right after flashing, etc... Plus there are some pretty major features that get overlooked. Like the built in file browser. I installed miui once and it created a folder I could not delete and keep deleted. Every time I would reboot, it would come back. Twrp file browser deleted it and kept it deleted. The only thing I don't like about twrp is the system date and time being way off.
Edit: Lol. I've edited like 5 times because I keep wanting to add more info. Also, twrp doesn't take ages to fix permissions. As long as cwm takes, I can just do it manually

I've been on 2.4.0 and 2.4.4, and only had to do backups but haven't tried to restore yet, so after hearing all the war stories, I went back to 2.3.1.
UPDATE: I just upgraded from 2.3.1 to 2.5.0, performed wipes, a backup and a restore and all went perfectly smooth. The only issue was the time was 2 hours behind what it should have been for US central, so I selected 2 hours ahead and chose military time (my preference) and I'm happy.

I've tried CWM and Philz Touch, but I've become so accustomed to TWRP because that's the only recovery I used on my previous device and was the 1st I flashed on the S4.
TWRP 2.5.0.2
I'm on TWRP cause a lot of people were recommending it. Had Clockworkmod on my Xperia Play, It's good too. You can't really go wrong with either of those. But, I noticed with TWRP, it has a touch screen interface, it's a little clumsy in navigation and will take some getting used to, to browse directories, that's my only real complaint.
Clockworks free recovery, (i think they charge for their touchscreen version) is navigated usually by volume rocker, i prefer that than touch. I know i'm weird like that. =P

2.6.0.0 has had issues of which I don't know if they've been resolved yet. There is a TWRP thread which you can always check out.
If you use Goo Manager to install TWRP, 2.6.0.0 will be installed by default. Then if you are having issues, you'll have to use ODIN and install 2.5.0.2.

The only issue I seem with twrp 2.6.0.0
Is it takes an unusual amount of time for the recovery to boot up on the s4
Like 30 seconds..
And especially a long time on the gN2
Like a minute or so...

With TWRP 2.5.0.2, Recovery boot time is:
- 10s between vibrate & TeamWin screen
- 8s between TeamWin screen and Recovery screen
Total is approx. 18s
I use Quickboot to boot into Recovery:
- 6s between pressing Recovery and the vibrate alert.
Quickboot used to be quicker on my S3, which was about 2s instead of 6s..
Am I the only one who's on cwm? I've used twrp a lot and I switched over to cwm. At least for now.

Ok, I've tried several different roms and I always back up. I've used Oudhs, Clocworkmod and TWRP. No matter which one I back up with I never have any luck on restore. They all seem to restore ok but I get stuck in boot loops everytime. Factory reset doesn't help. Wiping caches don't help. This is just beginning to really drive me nuts. I don't really mind having to reinstall everything but jeez I just wish I knew what the deal was. I never had trouble on my Motorola Defy or my Galaxy S2 but I sure can't seem to get anywhere on the S4
It happens sometimes to me. When I get stuck after restoring nandroid, I get back into recovery and reflash the kernel and it boots the device. I am using philz recovery and its been working great.

Never used philz and never thought of just reflashing the kernel. I may try that though. Now to find the kernel. I should mention that I end up using Odin to reflash stock. Then I root and then custom recovery. That boots fine and for the most part all I'm ever doing is trying to restore a 4.4 rom I backed up.
Flashing a kernel worked. lol my phone doesn't think it's the stock kernel but it booted at least.
I do find this interesting. I would think when you restore a nandroid backup that it would restore the kernel that was with the rom you are restoring. I guess this isn't the case?
Using the latest clockwork has always worked for me.

I use ROM manager premium, as well.

I've had Rom Manager Premium since my Defy days. I'm a firm believer in it. I was just surprised I would have to reflash a kernel after restoring a rom.

I use OUDHs Touch recovery v1.0.3.3 in conjunction with Rom Manager and I have NEVER had that problem. Also, when I use Rom Manager to "Back Up Current Rom" I can NAME the backup file, and it goes into the recovery and uses the filename I have already typed in and it's a seamless operation. Even using restore via Rom Manager works seamlessly and it has NEVER balked on me.
The only time I had a problem was once using My Backup Pro and trying to do an on-line system backup. MMS, SMS, Call Log has always been absolutely perfect! No out of sequence messages, and all the pictures are restored correctly too!
Aloha and Good Luck!
BTW, I am on a Stock 4.2.2 with the latest M919UVUFNB4 (modem.bin) Flashed for the radio and it's reception qualities are better than it's ever been before!
