[Q] Recovery Preference

This may be premature, but now that we are unlocked and liberated from stock recovery what is the best replacement out there? I have used both clockwork mod and TWRP with other devices but does one have an advantage over the other with the M? Voice your opinion to the community!!!

I prefer TWRP, and it seems to be the best option for this phone. Use version 2.3, as 2.4 is still in beta and a lot of people have had issues with if. CWM doesn't have as many options as TWRP.

What he said. And the cwm is pain in the ass to navigate with the volume buttons.
Hate the new backup system in cwm also.

I use both, one of my Ms has twrp and one has cwm. I prefer cwm because backups are faster IMO, but either works

where can i download 2.3?

I have yet to root the M yet. With my Inc2 I used twrp from day one that it was released. GNex I used 4ext which is also excellent.

There is a link in this thread:
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/6444-installing-a-custom-recovery/
The TWRP that's included in the Unlock/Recovery thread in this forum has a link to 2.4, which is pretty buggy.

I haven't used it, but other people report that's it unable to restore a backup and freezes at "Creating MD5" when creating a backup. I think there were some other ones mentioned, but I couldn't find them.

I've used it and it was pain in the ass. I didn't start flashing anything until I found a different recovery version.

Are you trolling? Nothing can be bricked, like I said backup, install and restore works just fine and if something goes wrong it will simply not work... Geez -.-' And I did test it already, I wouldst post here if I hadn't tested. I just don't have enough time because I'm working on my SuperShendu ROM.

If your partitions are screwed up then a brick will happen in minutes.
I don't think you should've posted until you got the general drift of the bugs.

Who told you that.??
for example, backing up a recovery image might back up a data image and it may be unrestoreable

Koush the maker of Clockwork Recovery, is also part of the CM team. Obviously they won't mention TWRP if they don't have to. So yes its fine.

how do you update twrp 2.6.3.3 cause i have 2.6.3.2

Go to teamw.in/projects and look for twrp and look in there download it for your phone model and install flashify from playstore and flash the downloaded zip and reboot and it will take care of it.

I am a complete Noob and first post. You may have already found this. But qbking77 had a post and video about this. He linked to cm 11 and cm 12. I am new here and can't post links. I'm not trying to siphon people from the site or make money. But if you go to http : // downloads.codefi.re/shelnutt2/g2/spr[/url]
His video about it can be found here: http : // qbking77.com/how-to-root/root-lg-g2-variants/[/url]

I wonder why none of these are being posted in the sprint development section. I understand that they are wip, but most of them are anyway.

I modified the patch to have install on the GPE ROM I was porting so have all the files and boot.img now.
Only problem is I hard bricked my G Pad when trying to covert to GPE. Won't turn on or get into download mode.
Oh well...thanks anyways but I don't need any more. Maybe someone else wants to rake over porting the GPE ROM to V500
