So what's the best Recovery now that we can use them normally? Clockworkmod still a good option or does everyone prefer TWRP?

Good question I was always a cwm man but I am trying twrp and it does the same thing and is easier and faster. I think everyone is going there.

Yeah I used to use CWM with my OG Droid and my Droid X but we had to use SS for the HD and Razr.
Well if it is easier and faster I guess I'll stick with TWRP

I think it just a matter of you been doing things one way for so long you dont want to fix it if its not broke lol. Its the same as SS

Yeah I much prefer TWRP, if only because it keeps your phone charging while you flash/backup/restore....

[curtdragon]

Not at all, I honestly was only asking because the recovery loader app has CWM as one of the options. I'm all for whatever is faster and best

is there a way to get ss to replace the stock recovery like twrp? Also a little off topic but is there a way to put things on the sd card while in the recovery?

Did you delete your roms slots?

So since Dan made the new root exploit for people who took the 4.1.2 OTA, it shouldn't be a problem unlocking the bootloader on 4.1.2, correct?

Would you please sharenew root exploit to ota 4.1.2? Please

Yep delete your ROM slots, and any other files that SS left behind. I noticed I freed a lot of space when I deleted the SS folder I fould in Root Explorer. Move the previous backups (if you made any in SS) to your external SD, move the TWRP folder to your external SD (or just delete it and reaccomplish backup, making sure you choose to save to backup to external SD).

I think this is getting too confused on what recovery to use, im bootloader unlocked with no slots (safe strapped) stock running and im just going to wait on what the recovery the devs are going to recommend to use when flashing the roms im will consider worth flashing after reading their reviews.

After restoring backup of a SS ROM, my gallery will no longer show thumbnails and screenshots will not save. I have gone through the gauntlet with wiping data and cache partition, but nothing has worked. This has also now been mentioned on XDA by another person. Any suggestions? Just un-install and re-install gallery?

edit: Another interesting tidbit, my ringtones are not showing up at all if I choose them under settings. However, they are still in the /system folder.

edit, again: Also interesting, I went into recovery to wipe cache and try to restore the saved backup of this very ROM, it failed. Tried the previous one, failed. Tried the one from way back when the phone was completely stock, failed. To me, this is saying that trying to restore a SS saved ROM will not work, and if it does, it won't last for long and things stop working. Luckily, FDR worked. I'm at work, so I can't try flashing a new ROM right now.

From what i read on your first reply on this thread... you got problems, everything went smooth on my end so far but here is something for you and everyone from moto site to think about; Unlocking your bootloader is not for the faint of heart. Unlocking your device and installing your own software might cause the device to stop working, disable important features and functionality, and even make the device unsafe to the point of causing you harm. Neither Motorola, nor your wireless carrier or retailer from whom you purchased the device, will be responsible for such damage, so please do not unlock or load any software unless you know what you are doing.
You have only yourself to blame. Once you get the unlock code, your device is no longer covered by the Motorola warranty; in other words, please don't blame us if things go wrong, even if they appear unrelated to unlocking the bootloader.

[RikRong]

Trust me, I know the risks of unlocking the bootloader, and I'm blaming nobody for the issues that have popped up. This is not my first rodeo with an unlocked bootloader. However, I do find it interesting how this phone is responding to the mods. The phone is working after FDR, but it's interesting that my restored ROM was working perfectly, decided to stop working perfectly, and then wouldn't restore at all. I restored cleanly, wiping everything. I simply am trying to find out if anyone else is having the same problems. It's a learning experience, and I'm sharing everything, the good and the bad. If you go through the thread on XDA, there are quite a few people that have had the same issues come up. I don't know why the Gallery stopped working, and I spent quite a while searching Google and trying all the solutions I came across.

If I've inconvenienced anyone else by posting my problems, I apologize.
