Trouble installing TWRP after s-off - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I got my phone s-off, but now I am trying to install TWRP through goomanager and it isn't installing the recovery. I'm not sure I am missing a step? Such as super user? It's been awhile since I've installed a ROM on a phone... I'm a bit rusty. When I try and boot recovery after installing twrp, it shows a picture of a phone and a red triangle on the screen? Something isn't working...
Thanks!

Goo Manager requires root access to work. Try going to the TWRP website, find the recovery you want, download it to the root of your external SD card, rename it PJ75IMG.zip (make sure you don't have an extra .zip in the file name) and boot into the bootloader and follow the prompts.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the bootloader have to be unlocked to flash recovery through the bootloader or does S-off trump it being locked?
Once you get recovery loaded you can flash the superuser binary in recovery and you should be set.
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much

Did you select open recovery script ?? Also here's the website

Please help. Ran ota with custom recovery.

Problem solved. Thanks to everyone that responded. I really do appreciate it!!!!
What exactly did you flash? The Mainver error only relates to the kernel IIRC.
The only thing I tried to flash was the custom recovery after I accidentally ran the ota update with the custom recovery still on my phone. When I should've flashed back to the stock recovery before accepting the update. And now I can't get into custom recovery. When I try to reflash armon ra it won't take. I've lost root access even though I have superuser still on my phone.

how are you trying to reflash Amon Ra ? , what recovery do you boot into ? As long as your still unlocked you should be able to flash Amon Ra through Hboot it has nothing to do with root access at that point. Even odder that the OTA flashed through the custom recovery, thought it would error out and not take if it wasn't the stock recovery. Unless you ran Con's Stock rooted, but then you wouldn't have an issue with superuser or root access.
Should be able to flash stock recovery through fastboot relock and RUU then if you really are stuck. Otherwise , no reason you shouldn't be able to reflash Amon Ra and reroot through recovery.

I take it the phone can't boot up at all? Have your tried fastboot flashing the stock kernel?

I'm trying to flash it in hboot as ph98img. And when I go to recovery it seems to go to the stock recovery with the little phone and a green circle but shortly after it turns into the red triangle and phone symbol.
Try flashing the recovery in fastboot. Download the latest version of AmonRa here and extract the recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img. Take that file and place it in the same file directory you place the tools to unlock your bootloader (needs to be in the same directory as fastboot.exe).
Put your phone into bootloader and connect to PC and flash the recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img in fastboot using the command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img

It will boot and everything runs fine, I just can't get into custom recovery or install custom recovery. And my apps that need superuser permissions won't be allowed even though I still have superuser installed on the phone.

So you cannot flash the recovery through fastboot?

HELP! I think I bricked my Rezound

I’m extremely new to the Android community and I did do a lot of reading on how to unlock, install a recovery, and install ICS on my HTC Rezound. The problem I’m having is that I found an ICS ROM to install. I downloaded it, renamed it PH98IMG.zip, installed it onto my SD card through Clockworkmod Recovery, I then tried rebooting into the bootloader to get the zip file installed, but this is what happens in bootloader:
SD Checking…
Loading…[PH98DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading…[ph98diag.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading…[ph98img.zip]
And there’s a vertical progress bar on the right side of the screen that fills up, but then nothing happens after that. It goes back into the bootloader screen. Now my phone won’t startup at all, I get stuck at the HTC white startup screen. I can get into bootloader and Clockworkmod recovery, but nothing else works.
If anybody can please help me with step by step instructions I would really really really appreciate it. Thanks.
I should also mention that I followed a YouTube video on how to install ICS on my Rezound (I can't post a link of the video b/c XDA website won't let me).
The video had me unlock the bootloader, install CWM recovery, and install something called Ineffabilis-Deus-v1.0.1-Odex.zip. Everything up to this point worked just like the video (which is point 3:30 on the video). After that, nothing else worked.
I've ended up formatting the SD card from CWM recovery so now there's nothing on the SD card. Not even the PH98IMG.zip file. PLEASE PLEASE HELP!
If you still have ADB set up after you unlocked, here's whatchya do.
1. Unzip the P98 file.
2. Move the boot.img into your ADB directory.
3. Plug your phone into your computer.
4. Run CMD as administrator and type in the following commands
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Should work just fine after that. :good:
And I really hope you are at least using the modded CWM recovery from this post and elsewhere, you'll have issues if your phone fully drains otherwise:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27517554
Worry about reflashing recovery on its own after you get the ROM up and running, just be sure you keep the phone charged. And consider AmonRa or TWRP recovery.

My Rezound has the exact same screen when going to the bootloader. I tried so very hard to avoid this but it must be done, I have to ask for help. I have no idea how to fix this phone. When trying to boot it gets all the way to the 4GLTE screen and stops, forever.
This phone is rooted with an unlocked bootloader, S-On, using Hasoon2000's AIO. It was working fine up until I did something stupid and loaded Motioncoding's Beats audio installer. (In case you're wondering I did this in an attempt to have the Beat's audio function while using Pandora, unfortunately this stopped the stock music player from functioning with headphones, I'm and idiot, I know...)
The problem occurred once I tried to uninstall the beat's audio installer using Root Browser Lite and deleting the system files they specified in the instructions. Apparently I deleted one to many and upon restart this is where I ended up. I have tried numerous fixes but the problem I keep running into is I cannot get access to Android via a USB connection on my PC. I still have access to the bootloader and to Clockworkmod Recovery but that is it. If someone can explain to me how to fix this it would really make me feel better and I promise I will never try to do something this stupid again. Thanks.

Did you create a nandroid backup as recommended before trying any new mods? If not, reflash your rom in recovery/boot.img in fastboot, with only a system wipe. If so, restore your nandroid, if you don't boot then reflash a proper boot.img in fastboot.
Yeap snuzzo is spot on. I just wanted to add that it's not a big problem at all, not even something to stress about. We will help you get it fixed up. If you have the vertical loading var, there's a PH98IMG.zip file on the external sd card that you need to delete.
Since it was mentioned in the quote, make sure you aren't running the official clockwork mod recovery. Either run amon ra or fly halfs custom clockwork mod

[Q] [q] Unlocked Soff No TWRP?

Hey I have a problem:

Thanks Folks:good:

Have you tried to get there via hboot? DO you have TWRP on your phone? if you don't have TWRP get "goo manager" from the play store, you can put twrp on your phone that way, if you do have twrp boot into bootloader and try to go to recovery from there. Any rom you flash will give you root, as long as it's a custom rom

When you go to bootloader, and then select recovery, what is it doing?

Stock recovery, you need to reflash twrp. Go to Teamwin and download the update for twrp
go to my thread. follow every step. I guarantee this works even on the new hboot 2.09:

Install TWRP Failing Through GooManager

I just completed S-off sucesfully and installed goomanger > selected install openrecovery script. It downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-fireball.img. I than got a pop up saying recovery has been installed. I than selected reboot recovery and got a pop up saying, "by clicking yes, your phone will request root and reboot to recovery. I selected yes, it says "attempting to reboot recovery, if this fails you may want to perform the operation manually". Nothing happens after this, I just get taken back to the goomanger main menu. Am I missing something or does this not work?
Thanks for the help, as I am fairly new to android, just coming over from the iphone 5.

Did you root the phone after s-off? You will need to flash superuser after DirtyRacun. Once you have root installed, goo manager should be able to install the custom recovery.

Flash one or the other of the following (but only one):
1. SuperSU (XDA Thread)
2. SuperUser (website)
Installing SuperSU from the Google Play/Market should be easiest.
If that doesn't work, you may need to install the custom recovery via fastboot first.
Once a superuser package is installed, goomanager should work for you.

I installed SuperSU and as soon as I open it I get the following message "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem". What should I do?
Thanks
Could always flash the image manually through fastboot if you have the drivers/knowledge. Rename the recovery to recovery.img and put it in the same folder as the fastboot executable. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

There's an order of operations that need to be followed. 1) recovery 2) root or ROM.
You can't use an automated recovery installer unless you have root access, and you can't get root access until you flash the su binary or a ROM with su included (which requires a recovery... see the circle?). Thus, the automated installer is not an option for the very first recovery flash. Similarly, the superuser applications on Play require that you have an su binary already... they just manage access to that binary by other applications.
Follow the manual instructions to flash TWRP, they're really quite easy. If you performed S-OFF, you have the fastboot (and adb) binaries already.
Edit: I have updated the instructions in the TWRP post to reflect this. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Think I figured out, trying now. I think I downloaded the wrong recovery. Should have grabbed the fireball version.
Thanks for everyones help. I almost there. I just manually installed open recovery-tarp-2.4.1.0-inc.img and I got the following
sending recovery 93700kb)... OKAY
writing recover recovery ... OKAY
I than tried booting into the recover with the following command
fastboot boot recovery recovery-tarp-2.4.1.0-inc.img
I than got the message "cannot load 'recovery'
Anyone know where I should go from here?
Thanks

Follow the manual instructions more closely. You don't want to 'fastboot boot ...'
Also, recovery-tarp-2.4.1.0-inc.img is not the right recovery.
I've got it working. I realized I had the wrong recovery a few minutes later. Thanks for all your help.

Rooting and recovery problems

Hey all,
I got my HTC One yesterday, and this morning i went to root the phone. I followed the steps in Hansoon's AIO toolkit and successfully unlocked the bootloader then flashed the CWM recovery. Then, when attempting to install superuser, i could not get my phone in to recovery mode. Every single time i either select recovery mode from hboot, or attempt to boot in to recover from my PC via the AIO my phone would boot as normal, and not enter recovery.
I assume that my recovery flash did not work correctly, but i could be wrong. Does anybody have any advice?
