Twrp vs cwm - Nexus 7 General

I notice I cannot flash certain roms with twrp
Has anyone else noticed this?
I haven't tried cwm for this device is it better than twrp as of this writing?
Most noticeable I cannot flash mini or cm10
Maybe bad downloads to tablet?

I've only ever used CWM, never had an issue.

i enjoy twrp much more than cwm. anyways, anything thats flashable in twrp, is flashable in cwm. and vice versa. it could be bad downloads. it could also be that your recovery is outdated and needs to be updated.

You need to use TWRP 2.3.3.0 when installing CM 10,1 nightlies. Android 4,2 brought folder structure changes.
I just changed to TWRP yesterday and find it much more enjoyable than CWM.

I use twrp and have never had any problems with it, its so much better than cwm

Bad downloads to tablet were the culprit.

CWM touch?

Hello XDA,
I was wondering where I can get the CWM touch for our devices. I have searched the forums and could not locate a downloadable link.
If someone can post a link and they're experiences with this... is it just as stable as the traditional CWM recoveries included with most ROMs? Etc...
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

CWM touch is not yet available for Note.
If you watch this YouTube video you'll see the individual is using CWM touch on a galaxy note (int'l version)

I use CWM but I really don't know that much about it. What is it about CWM that you don't like, and what about Red Pill that you like so much?
My only previous experience was with StreakMod on a Dell Streak 5. I think it was just a modified CWM.

CWM has saved my ass countless number of times

Has anyone tried to flash CWM through ROM Manager?

Here is a screenshot that shows when you click Flash ClockworkMod Recovery it gives the option for a Google Nexus 7.
(Sorry it's an attachment, the picture was huge because I couldn't find a screenshot app that works on Jelly Bean, so I had to use my camera.)

Because it is built in. Press the POWER and DOWN VOLUME at the same time and hold until the screen pops. Needs to be the same time.

*FacePalm*. I should have known that.
But I was debating to myself whether or not to post to Q&A, but I chose General because I figured if flashing through ROM Manager actually works, people should know.
I will change the title now.
Yes I did. Just install and reboot into it from rom manager.

I use rom manager to install cwm and then upgrade to cwm touch as it informs you it's available, I paid the 2 bucks to be able to use touch. After cwm is installed I uninstall rom manager and use TKT to boot into recovery.
rom manager is made by ClockWorkMod, so it makes sense that you can flash CWM. Its been there ever since i used rom manager.thanks for the heads up though for ppl that didn't know.

No, I knew that. It's just that on new/unused devices flashing through ROM Manager sometimes doesn't work. Like on the Kindle Fire, if you flashed through ROM Manager CWM would be buggy as hell.

The kindle fire never had support thru rom manager. It would say it after you tried.
On the N7, koush officially supports it. Flash away, your golden over here

Anyone on TWRP?

Just got TWRP on my s3 and because of its ease of use I'm thinking about putting it on my friends i9000. She can sort of get around the Cwm I have on it now but I figure it would be much easier with TWRP.
Can it be installed/used with no issues on this device?
I would use goo manager to install.
The i9000 is on cm7

You need a kernel that supports it. If you upgrade to CM9 or 10, you can flas Devil kernel and activate TWRP.
You need a specific kernel to flash a recovery? I put TWRP recovery on my s3 without touching the kernel. Strange

Oh, I looked around and it seems that I'm wrong. You should be able to just install it like you wrote to do.
Were you able to put TWRP onto the i9000, if so how?
I have CM9.1 on mine and would really like to replace recovery with TWRP
I haven't had the i9000 with me this week. Download goo manager from the play store and try to install it through thay

[FIX] WIFI and VIBRATION for i717 roms

**DOES NOT WORK ON 10.1 BASED ROMS**
Alright guys here it is, a flash-able zip that you can flash in recovery to get wifi and vibration working on i717 ROMS
while in recovery before you flash the WiFi.zip file make sure you MOUNT system and then install. Once the WiFi.zip is flashed UNMOUNT system and reboot. Flash Wifi fix.zip last after you have already flashed the rom, gapps, radio ect... This fix should work for all Jelly Bean roms
### For this step i would use the computer. After downloading the ROM your going to flash, use 7zip file manager, right click on the downloaded rom zip move down to 7zip and open archive. delete boot.img and replace with the boot.img that is attached below. Close 7zip and move ROM to your sd card.
Also make sure you flash TeamWin Recovery for the sgh-i717 If you try flashing with TeamWin for our device it does not allow it because of the device name in build prop...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
steps that i have taken:
Flash openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1 sgh-i717 then reboot to recovery before starting on the steps below.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.wipe factory data reset
2.wipe system
3.flash darkside superwipe EXT4. (Thanks to TDJ for this wipe script)
4.flash i717 jelly bean rom of choice
5.flash GAPPS
6.flash T-Mobile radio (found over in the goodies thread)
7.flash Wifi fix.zip (DONT FORGET TO MOUNT SYSTEM BEFORE FLASHING THIS) other wise it will not work.
8.wipe cache and dalvik cache
9.Reboot- wifi and vibration should be fixed --
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for your work, looking forwards to trying the att roms.

No problem, if you guys have any issues pm me. Hopefully the instructions are clear enough to understand lol!
Also I can confirm this works for the following ROMs, "pacman all in one (I'm using that one currently) Aocp, and paranoid. So anything jelly bean should work.
I was trying to make a flash-able boot.img to make things easier but for some reason it would not work. The ROM will only boot when boot.IMG is manually inserted. Not sure why that is.

I can confirm it works, latest PA and it's probably a placebo effect but things are much smoother and the hspa+ speed seems more solid and stable now. I'll give some other roms a try, if they ever want to download.

Cool glad it worked for someone else.
I've been having issues downloading from xda also, I was also having trouble uploading the files to attach here. They kept timing out.

Should be interesting when the 717 gets the 4.2 bump for samsung, and we get left behind by tmoible. I think butter is still incomplete in 4.1.2 right?
I'm having trouble getting any of the att roms to boot, mind sharing some of your modified roms?

Also I think this is across the board but do you guys have image/video quality issues? Like if i watch a video in youtube i get a lot of off colors(blacks not actually black, blues look a little greyish, ect.) Even my wallpaper, 99% of images look terrible.
I've tried PAC man and now I'm on AOCP both image quality was fine.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Hmm i'll have to look in to the image quality thing, alot of things just look terrible.
How about slimbean? Anyne have any luck with that? I just keep getting a failed error.
I haven't noticed bad image quality either, Everything looks fine here. I really like aocp, but I like how paranoid supports spen, although GMD spen control in the play store takes care of that!

Will this work on any TW roms? Or is there an alternate fix for those?
Slimbean runs well. No crashes. Though I did notice my connection is a bit slow

For tw ROMs the only thing you should have to do is pull the boot.img and replace with one from a T-Mobile tw ROM.

I want to make sure I understand this correctly. If I want to flash a TW Rom I need to get the boot.img from an exsiting TW Rom or do I use the one provided in the OP? Also would it matter if the boot.img comes from an older version TW Rom?

Rooting tab 8.9

Hi, I have been trying to root my P7310 tab using the instructions and root files I found in several threads. My problem is that when I boot in recovery mode I don't get in the list of options the one that says 'apply update from SD card', I only get the option of updating from external storage or cache.
Anyone could help me with this?
Thank you,

Use the guide from here by nirogu325 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406137
It has all that you need. And when in recovery, it's not necessarily 'apply update from SD card'. Just choose the zip file that you have to flash to gain root. I suggest that you use TWRP recovery on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602188
Thanks for your help, I will try the instructions although they look a bit complicated for a near novice like me. My problem with the zip file is that when I am in recovery mode I cannot select any path leading to the SD Card root folder where the zip has been uploaded. It drives me nuts, it seems to work for everyone else but me!

The original gingerbread recovery had an option to flash zips. The ICS recovery did not. Rooting was way easier on GB because of this. The only way to root ICS is to install a custom recovery to flash a root.zip file.
Make sense, something to keep me busy next weekend...

Didn't know that. Never touched the original firmware that came with my tab. It was only when I upgraded to ICS via odin that I started tinkering with it.

Instructions from the guide are relatively easy to follow. Just read the whole lot. I think it would be better if you upgrade to ICS first if your still in Honeycomb.

You need to install a custom recovery with odin. Then you flash the zip file in the custom recovery.

Yes, the guide tells you that you need to flash custom recovery before you could flash any zip file.

Ok, I think I need some help. I cannot flash zip drives from the standard ICS recovery as I do not get the option of accessing the SD card (see photo attached) so I can't either root or flash CWMR zip. As suggested I have tried Odin but there are no instructions on how to flash a CWMR zip in the tread, only how to flash ROMs. I have tried to search with the PDA or BOOTLOADER buttons but I cannot load a zip file in Odin. I am really not sure what to do now?
can you help?
Thanks very much,

CyanogenMod instaled and unusable, I have installed GoogleApps separately but they do not show up anywhere. The browser does not work so I cannot try to access gooleplay. The PC does not recognise the tablet any more and I cannot transfer files. Well done me!
I suppose I could go back installing a stock ROM with Odiin, the problem is that the only post I have found with stock ROMs has links to Hotfiles.com which is no longer in service. Can anyone direct me to any other link where I could download a stock ROM for P7310?

Well yeah I didn't mention that you should do a full wipe first because I thought you already knew that
anyway, hopefully messing up with your tab won't be necessary, cuz stock ICS is the best, personally I use this tweaked one:
[ROM][ICS][STOCK][P7300/P7310][LQJ/LPV][Deodexed/Odexed] Final Build [14/1/14]
It is the best!!!:victory:
Cheers, what are the differences with the tweaked ROM you have?

Agree, I've tried the 10.1.3 and 10.2 CM versions before. But IMHO, overall performance is not on par with stock ICS.

It's a matter of preference, actually. In my case, I used the original firmware on the thread and tweaked it to my liking.
