{full proof method of not getting bricked cause of battery}

as i have seen many threads stating that in the custom recovery one cannot charge the phone, so i thought why not use the stock recovery after flashing the rom!!
1. i flashed a custom rom in the custom recovery
2. after the first boot, i went to the hboot and flashed the stock recovery
3.restarted the phone and booted back to the custom rom, no reboots, no hangs what so ever, rom booted normally
4. switched my phone off from the bootloader to check if it works and voila it is charging !!!!
5.to flash a custom Rom just flash a custom recovery in the fastboot
i do know that you have to flash a recovery every time you flash a custom rom but till a proper fix is found it is better to do this than depend on your luck
Edit: (credits to cpv5 for this info)Make sure you don't go to recovery when you're on stock recovery as it will wipe everything on your phone & virtual sdcard and you will be back to setup screen again.

even better is that once you have done the OTA update to 1.28 you get the new Hboot which can boot properly so you never have to replace the stock recovery. just fastboot boot recovery.img if you need to change rom or nandroid

I dont think that the 1.28 Hboot has fixed the fastboot boot commands...

You can fastboot boot a recovery? not just a boot.img?

Very interesting, seems to be working for recoveries here as well (s-on unlocked hboot 0.94).
I'm really interested if this works properly for zImages as well. I thought PaulOBrein was working with htc for a solution for this "fastboot boot" though? Maybe some parts ain't working?

This is a great tip, thanks!
and is it just me, or does adb work when fastboot booting clockwork with the stock recovery flashed?!

I just add further note on your question here
See the edit part.

Thanks a ton ckpv5

Has a question here, how do we flash stock recovery in hboot? I only know the way of flashing stock recovery via fastboot with the command of "fastboot flash recovery [recovery name].img*
Is my way wrong or there is some other way?

Where do I get stock recovery from? Tempted to do this until cwm supports charging....

Because the stock recovery doesn't have menu like the CWM recovery, so once you choose recovery, the recovery process will run. Not like the CWM recovery, you need to choose which function to run.
So two things can happens when you go to recovery when you're on stock recovery:
1) the recovery will runs and wipe everything on your phone (I tested this)
2) the recovery will runs and there is error where you see the phone logo with red triangle, then you need to shutdown and restart to your current ROM.

What is the meaning of the error where you see the phone logo with red triangle

[Q] Cannot boot to recovery (on two completely separate phones).

I flashed CM10 onto my phone a couple weeks ago, everything went smoothly. Today, I reverted back to stock and locked the bootloader so that I could receive the stock JellyBean update. Well I download the update, reboot phone into fastboot, attempt to go into recovery and I get the red triangle !. I know this is an issue with the phone apparently not finding a recovery boot but why didn't my reverting to stock reinstall the stock recovery? Does anyone have any guides they suggest to get stock recovery back? (I've found a few but thought I would ask).
Now, this is understandable that my phone can't boot into recovery since I flashed CM recovery onto it and whatnot, but I attempted to boot into recovery on my girlfriends phone (same phone, NEVER BEEN UNLOCKED OR FLASHED) and it can't boot into recovery either... Is something going on here or am I just missing a huge piece of the puzzle? I don't really want to have to flash anything on my girlfriends phone to fix it, she's not into the tinkering and would rather not have her data reset. Any help would be appreciated.
And for the record, I did a search to figure this out but at the very least I can only find solutions for people who have flashed CM or similar and nothing pertaining to the problem my girlfriend's phone has.

Used this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1848566
It worked, I'm on stock ICS, but I didn't do ANYTHING after booting into ICS again and attempting to install JB and booting into recovery. Did I miss something? How do I "flash recovery"?

Unzip the factory image you get from developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Then use fastboot to flash the recovery.
EDIT: red triangle doesn't necessarily mean the recovery is broken. It's just the way it is. If you wish to flash a 3rd party ROM you'll need to flash a 3rd party recovery.

I think you are confusing a few things here. First off, the Android with the red triangle IS the stock recovery main screen. (If you want to flash the update manually, you need CWM -- go into fastboot mode and type: fastboot flash name-of-recovery.img, where name-of-recovery is the recovery that you downloaded and want to flash.) Second, you need the stock recovery for an update to install over-the-air, but you need a custom recovery if you want to flash it manually.

this happened. you installed stock recovery when you reverted, whats the surprise?
and you dont need to relock bootloader to successfully update through ota. seems to me know the op needs to refine his searching skills.

So in the context of my girlfriend's phone where nothing has been done to it in the 4 months she's had it, why would it be giving the recovery error? Also, does flashing the recovery wipe the phone?
It's funny too because I just got the JB OTA but I'd still like to get this figured out.

run the update manually (found on the Update link on efrants sig) through cwm, that should give you a more detailed description of whats going on.
flashing a recovery doesn't wipe the device. unlocking will, btw. its not an error, its the stock recovery!

Alright, I think I got it... so the android with the red ! triangle IS stock recovery? I just remember on my Nexus S being able to boot into recovery and load up a stock .zip update manually without any custom recovery mod. Is this not possible on the Galaxy Nexus then? So what does the stock recovery DO other than sit there and reboot after a minute?

Correct! As was mentioned by bk201doesntexist, hold power and press volume up to access the menu.

[Q] Auto power on after full charge - how to disable?

Two days ago I noticed that my Hox powers on itself after it´s full charged (powered down manually). Running ViperX 2.7.1 with stock kernel. Didn´t change anything. Don´t know why it powers on... is there any option in the viper rom for such a behaviour? Couldn´t find anything that would cause auto booting my device. Any ideas?

i think this is related to kernel and its modules, many people reported this before, and there is no option in viperx (as far as i know) that causes this.

It's due to clockworkmod.

Don't use clockworkmod.
i.e., stock recovery is fine, might be worth trying team win recovery project.

I´m happy with CWM and want to keep it. Haven´t had this problem in earlier versions of the viper rom. Or maybe it´s related to an app?

Nope. It's cwm.

You can always have stock recovery then just use fastboot to load the recovery without flashing it, I used to do this when cwm didn't allow offline charging.
fastboot boot recovery.IMG
This also allows you to use adb, also used before they fixed USB mounting.

Thanks for your replies! To use stock recovery I must remove/disable CWM, right? Don´t know what is meant with recory.img you mentioned above. Could you explain that more detailed? I´m familiar with CWM from the first time I rooted my device, so I have no idea what´s stock recovery

You would need to flash stock recovery, look about the forum's.
Recovery.IMG refers to the name / location to the recovery image.
If it was saved in a c://fastboot/stock/recovery.IMG
You would use
fastboot flash recovery /stock/recovery.IMG
Or to boot that image
fastboot boot /stock/recovery.IMG
Obviously these are just examples.

Damn it. Problem persists... using TWRP also powers on after charging. What´s causing this issue? Guess I have to life with this behaviour or switch to stock recovery.

[Q] Cant flash CWM

I'm trying to get cwm recovery on my htc ove v VM. I have unlocked boot loader and rooted successfully. When i fast boot the recovery image, it says sending writhing and done. When I reboot and try to boot cwm it just stays on the htc screen with the red letters, is this normal? I should think not. I'm sure this has happened to someone else I just need a solution. Any advice would be great.

Hi
CWM is not recommended for CDMA AFAIK
Use TWRP for CDMA instead

I got CWM flashed using the android ultimate tool found on this site. Before that nothing worked. The only minor thing is that you have to scroll through the cwm menus three times to get to where you can select with the power button, but then it works fine. I've made my nandroid backup. But haven't flashed a rom yet... kinda nervous about getting into that one, But if you guys have any suggestions about STABLE roms, that would be helpful as well. Thanks,

[Q] Red triangle alert

Hi. Good evening.
Since few months ago, I can't get into recovery any more. Each time I try doing so, there is a red alert triangle symbol in the middle of the screen, and the phone does nothing. So, I have to come back to the boot menu and select restart, to starting it normally to the ROM.
Last time I could enter into recovery was when I was updating it to Jellybean.
I had to update the bootloader and afterwards upload the kernel+ROM, from what I remember.
Since then, I get this red alert triangle alert.
I've read that it happens when you don't have any recovery installed, and you should flash a recovery. But I had mine (ClockwordMod) otherwise I wouldn't be able to install the custom ROM.
Anyway, do you have any clue regarding this subject and my particularities?
At this moment, this is what I have:
- HTC One X
- Android 4.1.1
- ROM: ViperX 3.5.5
- Bootloader 1.39
- Kernel 3.1.10
Cheers.

No, I haven't. I don't know if I would have issues by already having a recovery and flashing another one over.
Actually, I had also installed (from Googe Play) ROM Manager to try to flash TWRP (changing from CWM) from there. I got a message it was successfully installed but I still had got the red sign and then I stopped trying.

Rom manager is of no use, need s-off for that. Flash a custom recovery and it will override the existing one. No problem.
Flash it manually with fastboot commands :thumbup:

Flashed recovery manually over the existing one by that time.
Solved. Thank you.
