hey all,
well i unlocked my bootloader okay.. i used the android super toolbox (.bat file) and choose to flash a recovery.img i choose the Amonra option but it installed CWM recovery instead...and now I cannot get Amonra to succussfully flash, so that I can root. Any help?!
Reboot boot loader and use fast boot to flash amon ra. I think its called recovery.img and its in the tools folder of that tool. Put it in the folder you have adb and fasboot and then while in boot loader do fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

i did
fastboot flash recovery "nameofrecovery"
i even used the CleanFLASH tool and still no luck
Make sure you're in fast boot mode and you can see in the command prompt it sent it
So go to boot loader then click on fastboot

When you did "nameofrecovery" did you put. Img at the end? "Nameofrecovery.img"

Make sure you add .img to the end of the recovery file name. I forgot once and got an error.

This is kind of wrong... I'm assuming you've CD (changed directories) to the platform-tools in order to use fastboot. With that being the case, you'll want to specify the "path of the recovery" not the "name of the recovery" + .img of course.

CD/ Root (where i have all my adb stuff)
CD:/Root fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img ??
can i rename the file to simply amonra.img?

You are placing the recovery image in the same folder correct ? but yes that would be the correct path. I don't know why you would change name as long as you are typing it in correctly.
I always change the name to make it easier to type. Example: cwm-touch.img or recovery.img. I never leave it all crazy like "clockwork-vigor-5.5.1-recovery.img"

I got it! Go to system devices on your PC and make sure you have the drivers installed correctly. This happened to me with my nexus.

I just did it though ubuntu.... god i love linux lol thanks all for ur input
i did notice this on the hboot screen
Open DSP v10.6.0.7611.00.0919
maybe that was there before, but i just noticed it. anything in the name of S-Off!
What is the error you are getting?
The phone is in fastboot, yes? It says "fastboot usb"?
Are you using a folder named "Root" or do you just have your stuff all loose in root? I would keep it in a folder, name it whatever you like, android or something. Put everything you need in there, including the recovery zip file.
Open cmd prompt.
cd c:\android
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
That should do it. I've attached a pic of what I have in my folder which is all you need in there.
Hello!
so I just unlocked my boot loader for my Verizon Droid DNA, I am using this forum page and his software that the person created ( [email protected]'s HTC DROID DNA ALL IN ONE KIT. here is the link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000896 and my question is. when I select TWRP 2.4.0.0 in the software all comes up is the command prompt and no where on the forum or on the app tells me how to run the root for my DNA, if someone so kind to tell me what the command prompt to run the TWRP root in this app. also someone said that I need to run the perm root after I root the phone, is that correct if so what is the command script to run this as well.
THANKS!
So you haven't installed a custom recovery correct.

correct I see the TWRP in the recovery folder in the where the app is located. so far I just got my bootloader unlocked so I can root the phone. I also hear that clockworkmod recovery is a better root than TWRP but cant find a good forum walkthrough for clockworkmod.
Thanks!

I personally like twrp, but it really doesn't matter. I'd reccomend you try both and see which one you like. But anyway,
download a recovery to your computer.
Put your phone into fastboot and connect it to your computer
Open a command prompt where the recovery image file you downloaded is located(shift right click, open command prompt here)
Type "fastboot devices" to make sure your computer sees your phone
Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", but replace the recovery.img with whatever the file was named.
Now you should have a custom recovery. Which will allow you to install a superuser package so you can have root access on pure stock. And it also lets you flash custom kernels and roms.
If you had any issues just post what the issue is.

yes. I am in fastboot on my phone when I run the command. so what I did was I pulled the file TWRP out of the folder and put it in the same folder where Fastboot app is at and then rename from TWRP to Recovery.img and then ran the command and again and it was done in like 2 sec and all it said its finished. so I rebooted my phone and download Superuser and also tired to download an rooted app but still doesn't seem to work... and superuser is complaining there is no kernel....
What happens when you run superuser?
Maybe provide a screenshot.

I think that since you don't have a /system writeable kernel you'll need to flash it. Download the zip from here and flash it.

Or you can download the file from your phone. In the recovery it will appear in "downloads", and you should just be able to flash it from there.

I am assuming that you already have the adb setup.
Download the recovery and rename it to well recovery then put the "recovery" file on the adb folder
Next open up terminal type "cd" then space bar and drag and drop the folder that you put the recovery file into the terminal then hit enter
Turn off fastboot on your phone and turn on usb debugging and type this into the terminal ./adb devices
If your device shows up then type this ./adb reboot bootloader
then type this ./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
wait for it to flash then type ./fastboot reboot bootloader
Then go to the recovery then once you are in the custom recovery go down to developer options
Select Install su and superuser and wait for that to finish.
And boom your rooted and running
I have a mac also and thats what I did
If you find a way to S off on a mac let me know

I haven't used it for anything. I just wanted to be sure that I didn't need to put any type of file in the removable sd card. I followed all of the steps including finding the developer option under recovery. From there I selected install su and superuser. It went through the steps and then I rebooted the phone as the next step . However the phone is still not rooted. Btw I am using recovery 3.16. Should I try an earlier version?

Hello,
Since my tf201 was getting really slowly I was thinking of putting a custom rom on it, since those are faster(?) than the stock rom. I found out that androwook is a pretty decent custom rom so I wanted to install it, only 1 problem. I have 0 knowledge of this 'Rooting, flashing, fastbooting..." The instructions on how to install it is useless to me. I managed to unblock it by using the asus tool, but thats as far as I got. I have absolutely no idea what to do now, is there any guide on this forum for noobs instead of experts of how to root and install custom roms?
Thanks

If you don't rename it. Then the command should be look like this "fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf201-JB.blob"
Now you can flash the rom you like and enjoy it

When i go into recover the "teamwin" logo comes on, the it promps me to to a menu which seems as if it would work with touch screen... when it says install it will not allow enter any option its almost as if its frozen and the touch screen does not work.
After a lot of searching i think i figured out what it was you were trying to say to me. I did what you said using TWRP the picture shows what happened after i opened the cmd window and typed the command. TWRP freezes up when i go into recovery. Am i doing something wrong?
Replace nameofrecovery.img with the actual name of the file, more info here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277112
You may have the wrong twrp image installed to your phone, I can think of a good reason why it freezes on you. So when in recovery you can not press any option? If this is the case I would look for a new copy of twrp specific to your device, check md5sum, then flash it with fastboot
fastboot erase recovery

Yes it gets stuck in recovery... i cannot use the touchscreen at all...
i downloaded the newest twrp copy... i downloaded md5sum and i have no idea how to use that even after looking it up and searching through youtube. i have the new ".img" file on hand... i just need to find out how to erase the old one in order to install the new one and see if it works
here is the CMD screen
this is what happens when i open "minimal adb and fastboot" and type in the commands you sent me... the top one that says failed, is when the phone is in the fastboot usb screen... when it says waiting for device... the phone is just turned on
Being you are s-on (can confirm if you write down all info on phone when in bootloader mode) you probably don't have permission to erase recovery but you should be able to just overwrite it, so just
