[Q] Both TWRP and CMW installed - HTC One X

Hi Guys
2 question i can't seem to find the answer to.
I have 2 recovery version on my HTC one X. Both TWRP and CWM.
How do i uninstall the TWRP recovery version?
Also i tried updating CWM through the ROM Manager and after update the version number ROM Manager says i have dosent match the version number when i boot to Recovery? (maybe a Third Recovery partition)?
Any Ideas how to fix this so i ony have CWM and so i can update via ROM Manager.
Thansk in advance.

You can't have 2 recoveries ! You can't use Rom manager on a s-on device. You flash the desired recovery via fastboot commands

How come rom manager says i have both installed? Als when updating via rom manager the version numbers dont match?

Ditch Rom manager ! It does not work, that's why they don't match. Rom manager can not flash a recovery for you.

Downgrading of CWM ?

Hi,
I have installed ClockworkMOD v3 recently. I heard that I cannot flash radio directly trough it, so I thought about downgrading to CWM v2.5. Can it be done? Is it like normal installing of CWM or there are some additional steps?
And yes, I have S-Offed my phone with AlphaRevX and rooted following this guide:

Just in case that it is needed to mention.
It isn't needed to flash an older version.
Go into ROM manager and hit Flash Recovery, it will be version 2.5.0.7, and then boot into it from the app.
Booting normally into recovery will enter whatever version you flashed, but if you boot from ROM manager it will be temporarily 2.5.0.7.

Wildfire S recovery error

NEED some help. I had TWRP loaded on my Htc Wildfire S. I tried to Flash CM 7.2 but it said FAILED. So I installed CWM through ROM manager. The problem is now I cant get into recovery. When I try to boot in recovery the phone starts up normally. I tried it a lot of times. Still no success. PLEASE help me.!!!
Install TWRP 2.2.0.0(not 2.3).....it works fine for CM7.2
The new recovery doesn't recognize old updater scripts....which is why dont used the new version
You can find it here

I want to use CWM. I found a lot of guides describing how to install custom rom through CWM. How can I remove the TWRP and have only CWM (I think I have both in my system)

If you flash a recovery.... It overwrites the previous one.... Just flash CWM via rom manager

[Q] Delete recovery (TWRP and CWM)

Hi guys!
I want to install CyanogenMod 11.0 on my HTC One X.
I had already installed TWRP (v. 2.4) and did not know how to uninstall it, so I installed the CWM over TWRP. Bad idea.
I installed CWM using ROM Manager, but it did not work very well. When I reboot into recovery I'm going to TWRP and not for CWM..
A mess!
So I wanted to erase both recoverys and install stock recovery, then install the correct recovery-6.0.4.5-endeavoru.img (The recovery .img for CyanogenMod 11.0).
Is that the correct way to proceed?
Is it possible to provide me a tutorial on how to delete the two recoverys and install the recovery sotck? Pls
Thanks guys!
You dont delete a recovery, just flash it via fastboot.
Ditch rommanager, it's useless !
Yes ROM Manager is useless.. but as seen here on Wiki: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/ClockworkMod_Recovery I thought it would work..
So you suggest to flash the "recovery-6.0.4.5-endeavoru.img" via fastboot?
And what about the other recoverys? Are automatically deleted?
Thanks Mr Hofs for support!
Yes via fastboot the old recovery gets completely overwritten by the new one.
Nice! Thanks!

Won't boot after flash cyanogenmod boot.img

Hi Guys,
I got into a bit trouble with my Hongkong version one x and hope someone can point me to the right direction.
I was trying to flash the cyanogenmod stable rom by following instructions provided on their website. I have unlocked my phone and have found that it's actually an s-off version as well.
The first step I took is to extract the boot.img from the installer zip and run fastboot flash boot boot.img from fastboot mode. This all went well. However, when I was trying to copy the zip file using the adb push YOURROMZIP.zip /sdcard/ command, I got the no device found error. And my phone is stuck at HTC logo.
With the guidance of Thant, I have tried Clockworkmod 5.8.2.7 recovery and Philz recovery, but I got the same error when I tried to ADB side load rom in both recoverys.
Now I am totaly stuck. Does anyone know the boot.img in cyanogenmod stable rom contain, Kernal I assume? Is there anyway that I can flash the kernal of my old rom so I can at least get in Android?

-----------------------
Problem solved, all the thanks go to Thant.
Flashed philz recovery 5.15.9, mount sd card, copy rom to sd card, flash again latest Philz and flash the rom.
---------------------
The photos are not available...also try in fastboot fastboot erase cache and try again to boot into recovery...just hold power button and volume -
And if command writing failed try another recovery and which hboot do you have?

You must to flash custom recovery TWRP 2.7 or from CM11 one x forum inside have recovery and then to go in recovery and flash the rom
Second when you connect the phon try command fastboot devices and see if your phone is attachen if you dont see your phone install the google drivers from one thread from @and313 again here in the thread and then try again many people report problem with fastboot after flashing the boot.img from CM11 and on all of them is problem with the drivers

I have managed to flashed CM 11 recovery. tried TWRP 2.7 but touch screen doesn't work.
Now the problem that I am facing is to copy the zip file to SD card.
Tried using the fastboot push command but return the error device is not found. My Hboot version is 1.73.
Do you mind posing a link to the driver? I am using the latest driver in HTC sync manager.

Try to flash latest Philz recovery it is for kitkat rom and tuch work and maybe in your case the SD card mounting. If not try to flash 5.15.9 there sd card mounting work 100% copy the rom and flash again latest fil and flash the CM11 rom

Hi Thant, will you be able to point me to the Google driver? I have flashed the latest Philz recovery but still couldn't side load ROM. When I check the device manager, the android phone is not recognized.

The flash was successful and I have entered the PhilZ recovery. Very nice interface.
Now back to fastboot, the screen shows FASTBOOT USB, which means it connected but when I run fastboot devices I got nothing, yet I can still flash any recovery I like. I am wondering if I can download the HongKong rom recovery anywhere so I can get into android and repeat the whole process.

[Q] TWRP doesn't replace CWM

I'm having some trouble with installing a new recovery. I want to have TWRP because I want to install a ROM that requires it. At the moment I have some old CWM but when I flash TWRP and reboot into recovery I still get into CWM.
So how do I replace CWM or at least boot into TWRP?

Try 4ext recovery, in my opinion i think its better. Also u cant flash recovery "flash zip from sdcard" u have to either use fastboot command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Or via PB99IMG method or using the 4ext app but u can only use the app once ur phone is booted.
