Yeah this may sound stupid but here as far as I can get, I've unlocked the boot loader, I've flashed either recovery they both load fine.
When I tried to install SuperSu, letting TWRP do it when you exit, and that achieved me a fine fine brick, that it'd get stuck on HTC screen on boot forever, so I went back into bootloader and flashed complete stock again, locking the bootloader before hand ofc, so then I redid all the steps aside from flashing supersu and I get this error when flashing the latest CM10.1
Error executing updater binary in zip

No matter what I do I get that error, do I need to be rooted to install a custom room? Stupid question but yeah.
Hi m4r0v3r,
This thread should help you get there.

I followed this guide here to root my EVO 3D:

Then my friend who already had a rooted Galaxy S told me to get ROM Manager and it installed Clockwork Recovery. I didn't know you only needed one recovery since I'm noob at this and when I tried to install a Custom ROM with Clockwork, it just boots and I get the Sprint logo and nothing happens. I try to boot into TWRP and nothing also happens. I think having two recoverys is going a major issue with my phone and I'm unable to install any roms. Is there anyway to go back to just having the TWRP Recovery and get rid of the ClockWork/ROM Manager? Or will I have to reset everything and root again?
Huh... Sounds like the hboot 1.5 is giving you issues... Use image GUI app for 1.5 to flash right from normal android mode( everyday user mode) look the thread in themes and apps to get it installed. Let me know how it goes here. No link as I'm using the tapa app

You can't have 2 recoveries installed at the same time...if you initially had TWRP, when you flashed clockwork it would've over-written TWRP. You don't need to reset anything or re-root to get back to TWRP. You should just be able to flash TWRP again. Use the method from the thread you initially followed. Just the part about flashing TWRP is all you need to do. I've never tried it, but you could also try flashing it with the app flash gui image, or something to that nature. Joeykrim developed it and I've heard it works nice, here's where to find info about it, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192527. If your phone won't boot, the flash gui image app prob wouldn't be the best way. I would just boot your phone to fastboot, re-flash TWRP recovery, then flash a rom and try rebooting.
I don't have hboot 1.5, so I'm not up to date on the 'special' ways you need to flash, but I know that you need to boot into recovery from fastboot in order to flash a kernel, and I'm not sure if there's other steps you need to to take in the flashing process, so research that and make sure you're doing it correctly. If you don't boot to recovery from fastboot, the kernel won't flash and you'll be stuck in boot loops or something like that. Good luck.
Thank you guys! The flash image gui thing made the fix very seamless. I just flashed TWRP again and now it's showing up. Flashing synergy nitely now. Woot!
So heres the deal, i tried to flash miui and it doesnt work at all, i am the dummy who didnt do a nandroid back up, and now im stuck, evo 3d hboot 1.5, twrp 2.0,try to push adb, but its says device not found. i can boot into hboot and twrp but i cant get a rom to load so.. someone please help

Did you wiped everything before the flash ?
Sent From My RED 3Dimension
yeah i did wipe everything, and i did get roms to load, but everyrom that i try now gets to the actual rom and keeps giving me errors, like htc.bg process force close
did you follow the instructions on how to flash miui to a phone with hboot 1.5 or did you just do it blindly thinking it will work? if you didnt follow the instructions your kernel did not flash
plus you can always mount your sd-card in recovery to transfer a different ROM, zip, ect.......
I have tried a lot of different things. i have loaded into twrp pushed roms then fastboot load recovery then installing with twrp and i seem to get the same results with every different rom.

What radios are you on software? You should stick with a rom that is built off the latest updates. I have been waiting on a rom to drop built off the latest software update. Are you on the latest software? If you try running old roms built off 2.3.3 and your kernel and radios are the latest you will have issues no matter what you do.
i think i may have been trying flash it all wrong i dont really know what i did right this time but i got it loaded so making a nandroid back up right now thanks for all your guys help
So after rooting and taking the android 4.3 update, my phone worked just fine with root. Then I tried to install a custom recovery (TWRP, using the ADB method) and ever since then, the recovery is just gone. Whenever I try to boot into it, the phone boots into download mode with an error message saying, "Could not do normal boot". After that, I tried installing TWRP from the Goo Manager app. Nothing changes. I also can't find a stock restore for 4.3 or a downgrade to 4.2. Is there any way for me to get back stock recovery or a custom recovery?

First, you should have done more research. You can't install a custom recovery on 4.3 (or MJ7). The only thing available is a "questionable" root method. No custom ROMs and no Safestrap.
Second, once an update has been applied, there is no way of going back.
You should check this thread out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507217.
If that doesn't work, try this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507253.
Make sure you read ALL instructions first.
Good luck.

You can't install a custom recovery on 4.3/MJ7.
The only way to recover this is for you to flash the full-wipe MJ7 image that you'll find here in the development forum.
Then, consider reading before flashing. The I545 has a locked bootloader and can't support a custom recovery or custom kernels.

Thanks! Knowing this, I think I will just stick with root but no recovery...hopefully, something will change and allow me to unstick myself from this situation in the future.

This worked well when I had the same issue. I did lose root even with Survival Mode enabled on SuperSU, but otherwise no issues. Thank you.
I have a Wind AWS Amaze 4G. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. I then tried out various custom roms and the few that actually loaded didn't support wi-fi. Now trying to go back to the stock rom, every time I try to flash it in TWRP 2.6.3.0, I get install failed: File_getprop: failed to stat, error executing updater binary in zip, error flashing zip. This is getting very frustrating. It's like TWRP is only letting me flash unstable roms.
Stock.

You can try newer version of TWRP or another recovery, perhaps 4EXT?
Might also be necessary to do factory reset and format all partitions except sdcard--both internal and external if given the choice.
Going back to stock will put you back to s-on, I believe. There are stock-based rom's that will not put you back to s-on. Maybe you never got s-off. In which case, 4EXT will most likely let you successfully flash those other rom's by enabling TOOLS->ENABLE SMART FLASH.
Good luck finding what you want.
I tried with CWM, and the same happened. I was able to flash the Mobilicity (Dave) rom, and then got stuck at the HTC splash screen. When I rebooted, wiped, and tried to flash the same rom, it aborted and threw the same error codes!
I've completely wiped all partitions on the phone. I never had S-OFF. I thought that it wasn't necessary since I was able to unlock the bootloader.
I will try with 4EXT and report back. Thanks.
I was trying to remove FRP on an old company phone and have successfully done it, but I can't seem to flash a stock rom or anything. I have tried installing safestrap but to no avail and every time I reboot, no matter what I've flashed in odin, it goes back to the same screens like in image 8 of this guide https://www.samsungsfour.com/tutori...y-smartphone-using-combination-firmware.html#

Help?

Which rom did you try to flash from factory binary? Which factory binary rom you flash originally? I had same issue on a different phone and I had to keep flashing various stock roms til they stuck.
And why are you trying to install safe strap? The g950u cannot be rooted in certain bootloader revisions...but yes it is possible on a certain bootloader version...which stock roms? Need more info dude
