Hi!
I'm an unhappy owner of HTC Legend with Android 2.2 and HBoot 1.01.0000. I tried to root and S-OFF my device, but I can't do that. I spent a lot of time to find a solution of my problem.
How to root and S-OFF HTC Legend with HBoot 1.01.0000?
My English is not very good, but I understand everything I see.
Greetings.
1st you can't s-off hboot 1.01
Just goto htcdev website, register, and carefully follow ALL directions to unlock your bootloader for HTC legend, this is all you really need.
You will also need to read up about how to flash custom recovery and flash custom Rom.

I also try to root my Legend with HBoot 1.01.0000 so i thought it would be better to unite instead of starting a new thread.
I am facing the problem that the device is not recognized when i am in the bootloader (power button + volume down).
When the Android it boot up normally the devices is recognized.
Code:
adb devices
The same problem occur when i try to update HBoot to 1.02.
I tried this on my Windows 8 x64 PC, i did read more people have problems with Windows 8. Te be sure it isn't Windows 8 i did download a live cd of ubuntu 12.04lts and installed the ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8.
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot
After this i connect my Legend with android loaded. And the phone is recognized.
Code:
adb devices
When i go to the bootloader the phone is not recognized.
Anyone who could help me out?
Have you got debugging turned on on your phone? Have you got your drivers correctly installed? (check via device manager on windows 8 p.s, don't ask where or how cause I will never use windows 8!)
You may need android v1 drivers too, I dont know...
At the end of the day I reckon it's all down to win 8 issue.
What about the cable your using, it's not stuffed is it?

I am using a USB 2.0 port. And i HTC Sync 3.3.53
HTC BMP USB Driver 1.0.5375 (64-Bit)
HTC Driver Installer 4.1.0.001
If i have HTC Sync installed, the device is showing up in the device manager: Android USB Devices > My HTC
When i do not have HTC Sync installed, i see it also appear under device manager: ADB Bootloader > HTC Bootloader
Both give the same error: (Code 10) A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed.
When i update the driver (Android 1.0) i get the message: The best driver is already installed.
USB debugging is enabled.
Edit:
I think i found the problem, i used the USB 2.0 port from the front of the case, which also has USB 3.0.
Now i tried a 2.0 port directly on my motherboard and i see it coming up without a problem. I however did try that before without succes, i already did read about USB 3.0 problem.
It looks like i first need to update HBoot before i am able to get this token:
Code:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.007s]
finished. total time: 0.008s
When i download a HBOOT i get the message i first need to upgrade to at least: 3.15.405.3 but i am running 3.15.405.7
Now i am on my Macbook Pro.
Downloaded the Google Android SDK for mac, and copied it to my home folder.
I still get the damn error:
Code:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.007s]
finished. total time: 0.007s
When i change to bootloader and do:
Code:
adb devices
List of devices attached
nothing is showing up.
And when i boot up the HTC legend normally. And attach the USB cable (charge only)
And do:
Code:
adb devices
List of devices attached
HT06NNX00571 device
So this is exactly the same as what happend on my Windows 8 PC.
If I remember correctly you can't use adb from bootloader anyway, only fastboot.
I suggest using blay0s method by extracting the Rom.zip from the exe this is done by running the ruu, letting it extract its temp files, then do a harddrive search for Rom.zip you have to include hidden and system folders in the search it will be in a temp folder some where.
Copy the Rom.zip to another folder them rename it to LEGEIMG.ZIP I think it is, copy it to the root of the sdcard from your phone then turn on phone with vol down and power, the bootloader should find it and ask to install.

Still no luck. I found the howto of blay0s.
I have tried this versions:
PB7610000_Legend_Froyo_S_hboot_1.02.0000_R.exe
PB7610000_Legend_Froyo_S_hboot_1.02.0000_R2.exe
PB7611000_Legend_Froyo_S_hboot_1.02.0000_R.exe
It does not ask me to upgrade the bootloader Or as explained in post 74 it will upgrade automatically and ask to reboot.
Edit:
Finally it did ask me. Problem is the SD card needed to be FAT32 instead of FAT.

1. make a full nandroid backup
2.download the recovery image
3.turn off your phone and turn on by pressing the on button+the back key (to get into bootloader)
4.open a terminal from the folder which contains the recovery image.
5. type 'fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img'
6.type 'adb shell mount /sdcard'
7.type 'adb push cm-hero-recovery.img /sdcard/cm-hero-recovery.img'
8.type 'adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-hero-recovery.img'
now whenever you want to access the recovery console, you just have to switch your phone on+home key and u'll enter.
To install the rom,
9. download the radio and rom from modaco
10. plug in ur usb and mount sd card
11. copy radio into sd card and rename to update.zip.
12. switch off phone and enter recovery console
13.if you never upgraded the phn , then a wipe is necessary
14. then, select update.zip..
15. u repeat the steps from step9 onwards the same way to update the rom.
hope ie helped.
i mentioned nandroid backup as from step 1 itself.
just came to realise that maybe u have never accessed recovery image from pc.
well dont worry, u can ignore step one but be sure to make the backup after step 8 ..... before installing the new rom
cheers and good luck

As far as I can see, you opened the command-line in the system32 dir from youre PC?! You should open the commandline in the dir where the image-file is. Should look like C:\SDK\tools

You will need to install HTC sync cause it contains the drivers for you phone.
Okay so I have put HTC sync back on. My hero connects to the sync in normal mode as an android USB devices - My HTC . What I'm unsure of now is when I press 'on and back buttons to go into bootloader' should the hero still sync as My HTC or should it be syncing to a different driver. I have been going round in circles all day. I have also removed the android development software as before the hero was syncing as and adb device??
When going to the cdm I now get the error device not found. USB debugging is selected on my device.
I think I’m on the brink of giving up.
okay so now when I'm in the bootloader my device connects as a ADB Interface - HTC Bootloader.
BTW I'm on Vista and i selected the driver that was in x86 folder that I was advised to download. However still no device found

Yes if your device is recognised as adb ... it's good.
That's how it should be.
Try installing HTC sync before plugging ur phone, then enter bootloader on the phn, plug it in, and then perform the command from the prompt.
P.s try entering bootloader first and only afterwards u plug in ur phone
Try to get the latest driver HTC sync from HTC site. If that doesnt work, try downloading the latest sdk plus drivers. U can find it somewhere on the forum . I think that there is a link on the rooting guide by daysee
I'm a total noob at Android too but theunlockr.com was the easiest and fastest way for me to install the custom Modacco ROM. Check out their site; it'll show you step by step with videos :]
Hi,
the last days, I read a lot about flashing custom ROMs and wanted to do so with my HTC Legend. I'm not really new to flashing ROMs in general.I already flashed several other devices, but I'm stuck with unlocking the bootloader. My problem is, that the CMD is either reacting with "CommandError" or "waiting for device". I'm not able to get the token for unlocking the bootloader. Another problem is, that the SDK Manager won't start for me. So I just grabbed the 3 files out of the filesystem and tried it with them. Using HTCs recommended fastboot.exe doesn't change anything. I hope you can help me with a few details:
1. Do I have to install something else than HTC Sync? (I think, it already installed the driver, too)
2. Which connection mode should i choose, when connecting the legend? (recharging/hdd/htc sync/tethering)
3. Which version of the SDK should I use? Is it possible, that someone just gives me a zip with those 3 files?
I'm looking forward to your answers!
Regards
OdlG
SOLUTION:
The solution was a too old version. My phone had version 3.15.405.3.
First I updated to version 3.15.405.6 (found via google here at xda-dev).
Then I patched the new ROM I downloaded from htc-dev (step 0 at unlocking; must connect phone for that hint!) 3.30.0.0.
Then I could receive the token via CMD at a Windows 7 PC (Win8 PC still said "waiting for device", obviously because the driver wasn't installed correctly so the phone wasn't recognised in fastboot mode).
I followed the last steps rom htc-dev and now unlocked the bootloader

AW: Difficulties with unlocking the Bootloader
You should use charging mode and you have to activate usb debugging in settings
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the reply!
I already enbled USB Debugging, and now tried it in charging mode. I created a BAT-File with the following command:
cd C:\Android\
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
But it still says "waiting for device" Any suggestions?
Did you follow these instructions? especcially selecting "fastboot"?
http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions
if yes and it still didn't work i've no idea at the moment
I tried it once more:
I connected the phone, "fastboot usb" is written there. the cmd still writes "waiting for device". after a few seconds, the pc reports, that the usb device could not be recognised. then there is written "fastboot" instead of "fastboot usb", though the cable is still connected.
a few hours ago i also got a guide at htc dev, that i should install da RUU (what does it mean btw?). i downloaded the german vodafone version and tried to install it. I will try that once more, hopefully the unlock will be successful afterwards!
thanks for your advice!
EDIT:I'm using the following software btw.
Android SDK (adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219)
Java RE 7 Update 17
HTC Sync (3.3.X or something like that)
The RUU installer is starting the setup without problems. It's rebooting the phone o install version 3.30 (hboot1.02). But when the Phone starts in the bootloader mode and displays "RUU", the PC is unable to detect the USB device and the setup fails caused by missing usb connection
Can I somehow influence the detection of the phone in fastboot/bootloader mode?
Normally it should be enough to install the HTC USB Drivers...
You can grab the newest for example from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191279
The second what you need is an actual adb.exe, fastboot.exe, AdbWinApi.dll & AdbWinUsbApi.dll... grab it for example from here: http://d-h.st/RvD (Thanx to torxx (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3828647))
After u've installed the drivers and extracted the adb file do the folowing
Turn off your phone completly
Push Vol down & Power ...device will start
Navigate with vol+- to fastboot press power
connect with usb-cable (possible that windows will install drivers...wait till its complete)
now "fastboot usb" should be read in the display of your phone
open a shell (cmd)
navigate to your fastboot.exe
type: "fastboot oem get_identifier_token"
it seems, that my htc firmware is far too old (3.15.405.3). i installed all the stuff on my win7 laptop instead of win8 desktop pc and could install the RUU... at least untill the notification, that i needed to update the firmware first, and update hboot1.02 (3.30.0.0) afterwards. the big update is also 150MB, the small one only 5MB. i'll give it a try and report back here, if i am able to manage all the stuff^^
btw autoupdating via options doesn't work ("phone is up to date"). do i have to sign in via google to get a better result?
I managed to unlock the bootloader!

Already flashed CM10.1 It's not as smooth as on my Ainol Aurora 2 Tablet, but the Legend hasn't got the power by far. But if you have a look at the specs, it is amazing, how good it runs on the legend
Thanks for all the help! That was definately worth it^^ I only have minor problems with my SIM-card up to now.
Dears,
I wonder if you can help
I did the following steps successful.
unlocking bootloader
rooting
flashing cwm recovery
flashing cm10 (updated to CM11 successfully)
flashing gapps
but the phone stays S-on.
Now my computers does not recognize the phone.
In the windows device manager is a one listed under other devices.
But when i am looking for drivers automatically or manually the drivers cannot be found.
When I reboot my phone into bootloader mode then my computer recognize the phone and i have access via ADB or fastboot.exe
fastboot.exe -devices is listening my phone as FA3AAW905529
Maybe I need to S-off my device, but i dont know how.
I would like to have acces to folders on my phone.
Alternatively I installed Airdroide as a workaround.
P.S. Drivers are installed
Sincerely
Alex

Hi Everyone / Anyone,
Got this HTC ONE X+ (64GB) (Not AT&T as only has "HTC" logo on phone) phone from another user who i think spoil the
phone with Cyanogenmod as it keeps reboot and stuck in CYM screen with spining arrows.
Read some posts here and managed to reboot into recovery screen and get some data. It cannot charge properly,
so flash with latest TWRP v2.6.3.0 and now can fully charge to LED turns green.
Some of info of this phone are:
*** UNLOCKED ***
ENRC2B_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT : 1.72.0000
CPLD : None
MICROP : None
RADIO : 3.1204.171.33
eMMC-bootmode : disabled
CPU-bootmode : disabled
HW Secure boot : enabled
MODEM PATH : OFF
Jun 21 2013, 17:36:36
Run fastboot getvar all and some info are:
Version-main : 2.18.707.5
Platform : HBOOT-T30S
Modelid : PM3511000
Cidnum : HTC__044
Battery-status : good
dev-power : 91
partition-layout : None
commitno-bootloader : None
My problem now its seem the HBOOT is very new and not able to find suitable version of 2.18.707.5 image.
Tried run RUU from various sources (WWE, EUROPE,..) cannot flash into the phone. I do not know where
is the reliable ones now and not sure what's next? Have used Hansoon AIO kit and WinDroid, these are helpful
but my phone status does not allow the kit to execute fully.
Now the CYM screen is gone and only show HTC logo screen and cannot proceed to boot further. Of course it
seem the ROM (Custom or stock) are gone as previous user did not make any backup and spoil it.
Summary of what i can do with the phone now:
Reboot phone into recovery mode or Fastboot. Can link PC and phone show FastBoot USB. Can fastboot to phone for lock / unlock.
Observed feedback from TWRP there is no root folder as suggest to install SuperUSR but not sure is it successful.
HELP, Need advice and help to find and load back factory stock ROM or any version suitable for it.
Think it does not have a proper root loaded too.
Installing a custom ROM will be easy
Wipe all excluding the Internal Storage from TWRP
Just "adb push" the ROM file to the SDCARD once the installation is done
boot into fastboot
flash the kernel from the fastboot........
that should get ur phone booted refer to this tutorial for installing a custom ROM

in the link regarding "installing a custom ROM" instruction, it seem the phone status permit booting into the phone to "Enable USB Debuggin"
However my case now it will not boot into the normal phone interfaces, it will stuck at "HTC" logo screen and nothing happens afterwards.
I can not only access the Fastboot / Recovery / HBOOT screen of the phone. Any normal reboot will stuck in HTC screen.
also running "adb devices" does not detect the phone and report a serial no. It did run and show opening a port no. 50xx and end successfully.
please advice
i install the Android SDK and followed all instructions carefully but "adb devices" did not return any serial no. of the phone.
in fact the result return blank, nothing is listed.
NOTE the phone can only be connected via USB through recovery mode in Fastboot USB link.
Even when reboot the phone as normal while showing the stucked HTC screen logo, the usb link cannot be established.
please advice.
In CUSTOM Recovery the USB debugging is enabled by default...so that step of booting into phone and enabling the USB debugging doesn't matter...
the device won't get recognized if u had not installed the HTC drivers...
try installing the latest drivers from here
Install this and try
Code:
adb devices
And what are u planning on do install a custom ROM or Flash the Stock Nandroid backup from the thread I provided.....????
I can only help u knowing what u are trying to do.....

I am trying to get this phone to get to normal functional phone for any region.
Since i got this phone from previous owner, think without any proper ROM backup and got loop in cym logo so am trying to bring this phone "alive" again. It seem not getting anywhere or my procedure is wrong with lack of real ROM in sdcard. At least i managed to figure out somehow get the latest CWM or TWRP and let the phone charge fully. Previously it always show "low battery to flash" message when powered using [ POWER + VOL ] combination.
Not trying to do anything funny to this phone, rather to try my best revive it back to a fully functional phone as the original HTC ONE X+ 64GB International edition. Think this phone is a ASIA WWE edition as it bought locally and with the HTC printed silkscreen, not AT&T.
Sincerely hope u or anyone can help me. I will try to use the "adb device" command again, seem with this way to communicate and push ROM inside the phone, nothing else can get it pass the HTC logo screen now... I am puzzled using Fastboot seem communicating ok with the phone but not adb command.... Keep update....

Not trying to do anything funny to this phone, rather to try my best revive it back to a fully functional phone as the original HTC ONE X+ 64GB International edition. Think this phone is a ASIA WWE edition as it bought locally and with the HTC printed silkscreen, not AT&T.
Sincerely hope u or anyone can help me. I will try to use the "adb device" command again, seem with this way to communicate and push ROM inside the phone, nothing else can get it pass the HTC logo screen now... I am puzzled using Fastboot seem communicating ok with the phone but not adb command.... Keep update....

These are the latest HTC drivers can u try this and report whether ur device is recognized in adb recovery mode......
Please try by uninstalling the previous driver u had.........
BTW is it Windows 8.......????????
ok noted but how to uninstall the previous HTC drivers ?
by the way, i also noted that if left the phone to boot after power on, connecting it to PC will be detected but windows cannot install any drivers to it. it will be recognized as HTC MP DEVICE or something similar but with unknown drivers. This normal and ok?
Yesterday feedback in POWER + VOL mode, phone can be recognized as HTC device without USB driver device installation problem.
mine now using Win 7 Home Premium 64-Bit Ed. with latest service packs and updates. Have another PC running Win Vista Biz 32-Bit ed. but not using this one as slower and many software think will affect the phone n PC connection.
Earlier before your help, have found and load TWRP version 2.6.3.0 whereas now the version is 2.4.4.0, will earlier or this 2.4xx version be any difference and affect the connection with adb?
Later will try again the USB drivers and other set up and adb too, not free to do it now...
keep update....

From the control panel OFC
If u had installed HTC drivers u must be able to see it like this uninstall that...
O Haa haa )
Blunder me ! That's right ! Think bit exhaust after a few sleepless nights figuring out why and hows on this phone....
Now that u mentioned on HTC Driver, before u I have read post on recommended SDK Manager installation.
It is suggested to install SDK Manager with only "Android SDK Platform Tools" + "Google USB Driver" only.
did install these and later use your method to install with "USE AN EXISTING IDE" option of "installer_r22.3-windows.exe" (latest version)
But now did not see the SDK MANAGER program in Control Panel - Programs list... Should have uninstalled.
Think should uninstall the following:
[Windows Mobile Device Center], [Windows Mobile Device Center Driver Update]?
These 2 should be default software of windows or HTC Sync for sync with mobile / usb devices...
Also have installed "Universal Adb Driver" from other post too, think to uninstall this too...
Any recommendation?

SDK Manager wont show up on Control panel AFAIK....
it will be a zip file which u have to extract.....
in the extracted folder u will be able to see android-sdk-windows\platform-tools from where u have to open the cmd to execute the abd/fastboot commands
I have the setup of android-sdk-windows and the HTC drivers I pointed to....
It works flawlessly so i recommend to uninstall Universal Adb driver since that isn't helping ur phone recognized anyways.....
Install the Drivers I pointed to and try wether ur phone is getting recognized....:fingers-crossed:
Note : Alternately u can try this installer also which is a small package with the necessary adb and fastboot files......

these drivers can be there ...they are or the installation of bluetooth drivers for our phones I guess....
Just uninstall the Universal USB driver .....
If you have HTC Sync I beleive u must be having the HTC driver as I showed on the Screen shot.....
Anyways if u dont see that in the control panel install the one I gave.....U must be fine
ok these r my latest updates:
1) Uninstall HTC SYNC, HTC DRIVER, HTC BMP DRIVER, IPT INSTALLER (Internet Pass-Thru), Universal ADB Driver
2) Install latest Java JRE 7u51 (32 & 64 Bit), Java JDK 7u51 (32 & 64 Bit), detected no older java versions, reboot PC;
3) installer_r22.3-windows.exe (for SDK Manager), created C:\AndroidSDK for SDK Manager and Platform_tools, uninstall default SDK Manager in C:\Program files, Reboot PC;
4) Created Start SDK.bat and run from desktop successfully into directory C:\AndroidSDK\Platform_tools, reboot PC;
5) Install latest HTC Driver using provided link and downloaded with filename HTCDriver_4.10.0.001.msi , reboot PC
Next is to test the USB connection to phone, Q?
1) My phone cannot power on to normal JellyBean OS (as think no ROM);
2) Can only ON to POWER + VOL-DWN mode, to HBOOT > FastBoot, is this right way to test as given in the instruction of http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213910
2A) If need to let PC detect a working phone and install drivers, have another model [HTC ONE X], can connect USB to this working phone first to test drivers / USB?
Pause here before proceed as concern might spoil the flow of progress if taken wrong step before testing ADB command, please advice.

Absolutely Fine........
What I meant in While in TWRP connect ur phone to PC
double click on your Start SDK shortcut and in the CMD type
Code:
adb devices
Ur result must be like this
YES, it did show the device listed with serial no.
Now i into the [Recovery Installation] section and at the BACKUP part (pt. 15), now should i also tick Recovery + Cache to perform full backup of actual ROM? (this seem not applicable to me, is it?)
Hi HTC Guru's
i've get a HTC Desire X from a friend, for repair service. his phone starts only in fastboot. no chance to start android.
with fastboot i have unlocked the bootloader with htcdev.
but i cant install any recovery to install stock or custom rom. all what i do fails! i'm stuck at this problem
what can i do now? i cant disable or enable usb debugging, because there's no rom installed.
thanks a lot ...
I assume the startupscreen states S-ON and UNLOCKED.
Did you connect your phone to PC and are you flashing the recovery with the fastboot command (DOS command)? Are you sure the phone is recognized in Windows (if you are using Windows..)?

yes, i have tried installing TWRP via fastbooth. but nothing happens. the phone is recognized in windows. if i plugin the phone, in display i get "Fastboot USB". unlocking the bootloader was able, too.
What happens when you execute 'fastboot devices'? Nothing or a number?
If nothing: which OS do you have? If Windows 8 > try another computer with a lower version.
I'm on way to work. Can't look now. I mean, in display stands '0123456789 device' or something like that.
It's hboot from ICS. And I have the right version of twrp.
And of course I use Windows 8.i don't have windows 7 already.
Just to be sure, maybe I misunderstand your info: fastboot (from Google's Android SDK) is a DOS command, executed from a DOS box (phone connected USB). Are you executing the command that way?
If so, probably for sure that Windows 8 recognizing your phone is your problem if nothings happens. No laptop? Copy the fastboot.exe and your recovery-file and try to flash it on W7 or XP :silly: ("fastboot flash recovery yourtwrp-filename")
Yes, I do it with cmd at admin rights under win 8. I know the usage of cmd. I have successfully customized my HTC sensation and note 4 as well.
Can I run win7 in live mode or in a virtual machine?
So, if there is no respons on 'fastboot devices' it is probably a driverproblem. If that can be solved by a virtual W7? I don't know, don't think so. Anybody else?
"As you all may now, Microsoft pushed the new driver stack in Windows 8.1 so ALL (not only USB 3.0) devices must provide a BOS descriptor. Sony ADB and Fastboot doesn't, so Windows fails to enumerate the device which is reported in Device Manager as error code 43. This also may help if you have a USB drive or mouse and it stopped working after you upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1."
There is a trick to bypass this by replacing the USB-drivers with the USB.zip files (this link). I had a bit of trouble afterwards
Installing PDAnet seemed to work for me (tried most drivers to no avail on win8/ 8.1)
Is this the same on all USB ports? tried on a different machine yet?
Never tried on VM but I don't think it would work as it still uses the same resources (USB ports, etc.)
Fastboot runs. I have no driver issues. But I get some errors if I try to install twrp or roms. Without twrp, I can't install a rom. That's my problem. Not the drivers. But I understand, if Windows 8 works different in command line as Windows 7 does.
It can be possible.
I try pdanet driver, when I went home from work in round about 8 hours... So on, thanks for you help
Aha, an error. That was not clear to me - it differs from 'nothing happens'.
Did you select the right TWRP? HBoot 1.25=JB or HBoot 1.24=ICS. Look at this page
Oh sorry. I have told you wrong information. Hboot is 1.25. But I have the twrp for jelly bean tried to install. But an error occurred.
I'll take a look at your link later at night. Thanks.
here are the error i get in cmd console:
Code:
c:\Users\my_name\Desktop\htcbootloader>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (7868 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.268s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: image update error)
finished. total time: 1.379s
i still have searched google and this forum for this error, but without a solution.
here is a screenshot from bootloader menu.

Right mouse click on 'image update error', contextual search, gives me a lot of extra info. Could it be that you picked a wrong version? Is it called 'twrp-2.8.5.0-protou.img'?
Or else: try to install an old TWRP from this page.
I have tried 271 for jb hboot,which should be the right version.. But I can try the ones in your link...
