Hope somebody can help me with this. I want to root my HTC One X + (with the all in one root kit 2.3) and put the rom ViperX+ 1.0.3 on it. Can somebody confrim that the steps below are the right ones.
With all in one root kit V2.3.
1.install HTC Drivers
2.register at HTCdev
3.Get Token ID
4. Submit Token ID
5.Unlock bootloader
So far everything goes oke. But for the below steps I need help.
- Is this the moment to make a backup by creating a CWM image?
After that
- Do i need to Flash recovery TWRP International with the all in one root kit v2.3 or is it better to flash Venom mod of TWRP recovery with Venom Flasher?
- flash Elite kernel repacked (boot.img) for Viper with Venom Flasher (or is it better to flash it with the all in one tool kit)
- Boot in recovery (vol down + power)
- Full wipe
- Install Viper rom (zipfile)
-Reboot phone
Hope you guys can help me with this. Thanks!
a bit searching would have led you to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066390
at all, your steps are nearly fine: but at first you need a custom Recovery for creating any Backup (CWM Backup does just work with CWM recovery - at all those backups are generally referred as "nandroid"-Backups. But backups created with CWM are not compatible with TWRP and TWRP-Backups are not compatible with CWM)
For Viper ROM, the Viper modded TWRP is recommended, and the VenomFlasher tool is more easy than AIO-Toolkit for flashing Recovery (Venom modded TWRP 2.4.1.0) and Kernel
So do:
6. put ViperROM on your sdcard
7. flash recovery with Venom Flasher (in fastboot mode*)
8. boot into recovery, make backup (system, data and kernel, so you have your original kernel in case of ... you need to go back to stock)
9. flash kernel (in fastboot mode*)
10. go into recovery, do full wipe, and flash your ROM
Done.
* if you aren't in fastboot mode, Venom Flasher will take you there, so you just need your device switched on and connected to your computer with USB debugging activated in the developer options.
I want to try the new ROM myONEdx+ RC2.0 (JB | Sense 4+ Lite) , but the author wants Recommended recovery by neXUS PRIME JB TWRP Recovery for hboot 1.25.0002 (JB hboot). I used the first version of this ROM , where he wants to install recovery by NexuS Prime JB Fixed. So my question is i have to flash TWRP recovery over Recommended Recovery by neXUS PRIME and fixed by atis112 - neXusRecovery for hboot 1.25.0002 (JB hboot) ? etc - fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

First of all, Are you on JB HBoot? If yes then flash the TWRP Recovery by Nexus (It is recommended over the fixed recovery). Then flash the custom ROM.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img is correct command
TWRP Recovery for JB is recommended but you can use any recovery meant for JB that you like and comfortable with, not necessarily must use TWRP.
Thank's for quick response i'll tried later
I flashed with TWRP and everything is fine and working OK. I only forget that before starting flashing custom ROMs i made a backup with NexuS Recovery which is CWM recovery and when i decide to restore i cant do it with TWRP , but that's not a big problem

If that's your stock backup, keep it safe... when you need to restore it next time just reflash NexusRecovery and restore
Thanks in advance for your reply My next question will be can i restore CWM over TWRP , but now i find the idea of recovery and flashing.:good:
My HTC one m8 has root access. I was using twrp recovery and stock rom. I wanted to flash a custom rom (tried cyanogen and pan) but twrp never helped me in finding my zip file. Then I tried swapping my recovery from twrp to cwm but that never happened and it got stuck in bootloader mode and then I did factory reset :/. And now everytime I try going into recovery it takes me to the bootloader mode. now I am trying flashing a custom recovery but first turning s_off and I tried firewater but it doesn't work.
What should I do?
It still has root access but s_on and don't know about bootloader on/off and no recovery.

and does your device say unlocked at the top of your bootloader? if not follow this guild http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799796 , but use the twrp for you device carrier only
if you did it via recovery you should still be ok
go to your bootloader download this twrp img here http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m8/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-m8.img on your computer (for gsm) int. att (i'm guessing this is the device carrier you have)
ensure you have fastboot tools(adb tools installed)
put the .img in your folder that contains fastboot
open a cmd in that folder on your computer and make sure you put your phone in fastboot mode via your bootloader.
then type on your computer in cmd fastboot flash recovery (name of twrp you downloaded).img
then type fastboot erase cache
you now have twrp installed to get to it now select recovery from bootloader on your phone.
when installing custom roms in twrp you need to go to advanced wipe(select data,cache,delvik cache, and system then swipe the arrow bar beneath)
then press home and press install the go to the location on the sdcard where you put the rom.zip of the custom rom and select it. instalation will begin after completion reboot(done)
It says unlocked at the top but S On.
Shouldn't I turn s off before flashing recovery?

@Fahad khan lodhi
it won't matter either way.
but just so you know what s-off is
s-off turns security mode off so you can swap out boot splashes and such, if you s-off and super cid you can flash any carrier's firmware,
also allows you to flash a kernel in recovery on older devices(m8 doesn't need s-off to flash kernel)
Can't S-Off unless you can boot. Firewater only works if you can get into the OS and then only for some devices. You should reinstall TWRP and see if you can boot to it then put a rom on an external SD card or use adb to push a rom zip to the internal if you don't have an SD card. Make sure that you fastboot flash the boot.img of whatever rom you are trying due to being S-On. If all that fails, then you will need to find the same or newer RUU from HTC for your carrier to restore the phone to stock and start over.

It should still work with the firmware you have. It's recommended but not necessary. And flashing PA would certainly not update your firmware. Firmware in this instance is mostly focused on the radio/baseband version and the touch drivers. These are not included in any kind of custom rom for your phone (nor 99% of android custom roms for anything). Much more important if you were originally on 4.2.2 or 4.3 and trying to run the new Viper. The only way to update firmware while S-On is via RUU or OTA. If you were S-Off then you could flash just the firmware package that has the hboot and stock recovery files removed.
hi
I have an unlocked (S-Off) HTC One Max International with Twrp-2.6.3.0
can I install TWRP 2.8.0.1 over it or I have to uninstall old ver and install new Twrp?
should I lock (S-On) my device first?
is this process dangerous?
I want new Twrp to install custom rom
thanks in advanced
@ma3743
Just flash it over. Only 1 can be installed at the same time. It will just over write it.
Hi,
Currently I have NUT's dual recovery installed. Trying to install the latest TWRP 2.8 following TWRP's website, fails everytime. I know the Xperia recoveries are different from other devices.
I have a locked device. Is there a way to get the new recovery onto my Z2? Even from flashing from the current recovery maybe?
Regards,
B
No, custom kernel/recovery requires unlocked bootloader, you'll have to unlock or wait for nut to update dual recovery

But after flashing monxDified I had 2.8. When I wanted to use eXistenz, I went back to stock and flashed Dual recovery again
Flashing TWRP
Sorry to hijack the thread but I have a related question.
I'm running Doomlords CWM recovery and .402, unlocked and rooted. I'd like to update to TWRP. All of the guides I've found on flashing TWRP assume you don't already have a custom recovery. Do you suppose I could just install TWRP through TWRP Manager over the existing CWM? Would I need to flash a new kernel patched version of the stock ROM that supports TWRP?
Thanks in advance.
No issues so far running the teamwin recovery on LB.

MonxDified includes 2.8 with his rom if you must run 2.8 now find a rom with it included otherwise wait for Dual recovery to be updated.

If TWRP can be flashed from Recovery with a ROM, surely it must be able to flash TWRP on its own???

NO, Z2 doesn't have a separate recovery partition therefore, as I understand it, recovery needs to be flashed as part of the kernel.

But the kernel does not get flashed on a locked bootloader as far as I know???

Yes you are correct, looking into it further, with locked bootloader the recovery is actually located in /system/bin therefore some magic involved in booting recovery, but my point stands in that the recovery has to be modified from standard to be bootable from its non standard locale.
