Root [Virgin Mobile] what cwm recovery is best

What cwm recovery works best for touchwiz roms on our phone ??

I would say philz touch recovery is the best. It's part cwm, and is what I use all the time.

I too recommend only Philz. Here is a direct link for our phone. You can used the MD5 version to ODIN or you can use the ZIP version to flash.

Yea on this device its Philz

Cwm actually has issues flashing certain Roms, its possible that they fixed it in a later build but still have seen it happen every now and again

Twrp I'm not very sure on

Thanks everyone the resin why I asked is because no matter what I do can get MOAR or Wicked sensation to install correctly even the fix I just keep getting force closing on apps the only touch wiz Roms that works for me are the Virgin ones I guess it might be the Knox bootloader but I don't know !!

My only guess would be if your using philz already it does sometimes have issues flashing older Roms like 4.1 Roms

I still don't know where it is but I've seen users mention a setting labeled as something like allow older updates or something of that nature that fixes it

If the Roms your speaking of are newer 4.3+ Roms and your using philz it could be one of 2 things
1. ROM might want ya to let it settle
2. More recent Roms for me I've had to not allow to settle

Example older versions of CM I used to have to install just the rom, boot the phone wait 10 minutes, install just gapps, boot, wait 10 min, then install fix or I used to get force closes and reboots

Newest CM I have to flash rom, gapps, fix all at once then boot or I get force closes

All and all tho some of it may be the rom itself, I've seen a few different Roms running into troubles lately either due to jumping from an older version to newer version ie 4.3-4.4

Or from going from single builds like sprint Ines to unified d2lte builds



Currently the most stable runable ones if you will are CM11 and LiquidSmooth, both 4.4 based
