You can install it from goo manager it's in the market, open goomanager press menu choose install openrecoveryscript it will do everything for you
someone on the team win website figured it out. you have to go into the twrp settings and uncheck the box for simulating. worked perfectly after that. sheesh, that only took two weeks.
Is there anything negative about updating your TWRP version? I'm on v2.2.2.0 Is there a possibility the update will mess with flashing ROMs?

Yeah, at one point clockworkmod didn't backup the WiMax RSA keys (doh!)
I'm using CWM now though, I used Amon RA's recovery on the OG EVO. So far so good.
Does the battery charge with fastboot off and the phone off now (ie is it a new version of cwm for the Evo 3d)?

Not sure, I'm trying to find a changelog for CWM, having a little trouble finding it.
EDIT: found this, but doesn't specify minor revisions.
http://gh-pages.clockworkmod.com/ROMManagerManifest/CHANGELOG.txt
Working good...
Did a full backup/restore to test.... also flashed 2 roms and 1 kernel...
I have CWM Recovery installed from Revolution.
I installed Clockwork Mod Rom Manager and before I try to update I wanted to see what thinks I have and what it's going to upgrade too.
But after poking through the other options it thinks I have NO Clockwork recovery installed.
U have to install the one from the Rom Manager App

the other day i tried restoring a back up via TWRP but it didnt work until i fastboot flashed boot.img...Alright so i updated my TWRP via goomanager app to the latest version (whatever is on there via goomanager) as in the TWRP forum discussions it was stated that previous versions were not working properly wihen restoring. So today i flashed a new ROM (NOS ROM) but that didnt work so i decided what better time than now to try restoring again, no dice didnt work and i had to fastboot flash the boot img for the restore file to take and boot up just fine again...ok peeps what am doing wrong??? again im fairly new at this flashing ROMS scene but i thought witht he TWRP update i would be good to go. Am i missing some settings ticks/options/checks? i saw a check box that said "recovery" i think in the restore or back up process dont remember which process. i tried going onto the TWRP discussion but it is locked down and states that there will no longer be any support for it...should i just switch to CWM?? thanks in advance to whom ever replies

What did you have checked while making the backup? data? recovery? cache? system? and did you rename the back up?
System, data and boot are checked...I didn't mess with the options just hit restore and let it do it's thing...should I change something or check the other 2 boxes (one of them being "recovery" forgot what the other option was)?

I may have misread but did you wipe everything before loading nos? I saw what was checked for backup but not about wiping. You should wipe everything-system, then cache, then delvik cache-not exactly in that order (make SURE there IS a backup just in case). Load the rom AND flash the correct image file with adb. Also, many roms when FIRST loading up sit a long time before they start up, not sure if nos does this or not-I have been jumpy about the time sitting with a few roms when waiting was all I needed to do. I have had different Viper versions on a few times and moving to another rom was quirky each time I did so, not sure why.
NOS did that to me too. Just wait....it will load into the setup wizard. I think being s-on, which I still am...twrp isn't able to back up and restore your roms boot.img. just a guess but I to failed to restore a backup when an install went awry. Makes sense to be being that you can't install a kernel from recovery either.

I looked at the install instructions for nos, if you are s-on you need to do one extra step. You have to extract the rom into a folder somewhere to get the image file, copy the image file from it. Flash that image file using adb on your pc and THEN install the rom from your phone with goomanager. Without the image file loaded, I don't think it would work. If you are s-off this step is not needed.

I believe it will, if it had the image from the get go. I believe that the back up has everything it needs. At least my back ups have never needed an image file. I decided I should try NOS myself and must say it would not go for me (S-off) it kept rebooting into recovery. I was going to try and also flash the boot image but have not done so yet.

Its the kernel in NOS. Flash NOS and then flash cpalmers kernel. Then reboot and do the setup and if you want to change to the zarboz kernel you need to delete system/bin/thermald or rename it to thermald_old.bak

I've flashed super charged hatka 320 (used that for a couple weeks) then switched over to viper...both using Flash GUI I tried using NOS but yes no dice loaded up but when I pull the unlock ring for whatever reason the splash screen comes up and it won't budge from there....and as for my original question haha TWRP did not work for me when restoring it tripped out like if it was missing the boot image (done that before so I'm familiar with that behavior haha)

I am s on, with twrp 2.1.8. I was trying to flash mean bean from cm10. I realize that I would have to flash the kernel separately but I could not flash the cm Rom either. I ended up having to restore my nandroid.Any ideas?

You have to update your TWRP. That version is so out of date no rom will install with it. The latest version is 2.4.4. Either download it from the teamwin site or install goo manager from the play store and let it update the recovery.

2.4.4.0 will only work if he's on the latest OTA full firmware including touch panel drivers

So the 2.3.1.0 version would be okay for me as far as being able to flash? I am not sure which one would be okay as far as what OTA I would have
Also video tuts show that I should fast boot with "fastboot flash boot boot.img". Since I am doing the recovery.img I should be able to instead type "fastboot flash boot recovery.img"?

If you have the latest OTA (software version 3.16) and newest firmware you need TWRP 2.4+. Otherwise 2.3.1.0. is fine. As for your second question, you are correct. I normally will rename the recovery file 'twrp', so I use the command 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img'.

I'm running s-off and latest twrp recovery. haven't flashed anything in a while, thought I'd update rom ( superjelly) and power menu option for reboot to recovery simply reboots phone. choosing to reboot into boot loader works but recovery is no longer listed there. phone has been rooted with custom recovery for a long time, flashed many roms... kind of out of the blue issue. think hboot version is 1.12...
Therr have been a few issues with the latest twrp, not like this from what ive read tho. Try flashing an earlier version. Ive been running 2.3.3.0 for quite some time with no issues at all. Worth a shot.

This is a bad recommendation if you are on the latest firmware. You won't be able to use this twrp version. Download quickboot from the app store and use this to enter recovery if you can't get into it the traditional method.

Yeah it basically says once you have root access you can use Goo Manger or Clockwork Mod to install the pre Loki'd recovery. Neither one of those 2 work though it just says it does and then takes me back to the stock recovery.

Install the all in one root and recovery tool for mdk...since you are already rooted you can skip that step...select the prep for recovery option...it will clean up and get rid of things that interfere with custom recovery and then select install either oudhs or twrp...these will allow you to flash updated cwm/twrp versions which I recommend to ensure proper flashing of newer roms...once one of these is installed you can always use rom manager or goo manager or the others to update...but I believe the prep for recovery step is crucial in having a functional custom recovery

Our devices are quirky... Some will do just fine just randomly flashing recovery...others just won't behave without going through the prep for recovery step...I know I flashed stock with Odin once before rooted again and had the same problems getting custom recovery setup...used the same steps to fix it then too...I would recommend these for anyone having issues with recovery install
Ok. So sorry for being rude
