I haven't tried the TWRP on GooManager, but others have confirmed that it works. You only have to be rooted.
Loki is used if you want to manually flash the recovery using the adb shell. You would download a "Loki-fied" version of the image, and put it and the Loki_flash program on your phone and run it in an adb shell.
If none of that makes sense, I would stick with the GooManager way.
Yep. Rooted then used goomanager to install twrp, was a breeze. Now just to wait for some nice roms

Yeah mine went in on 2nd attempt as goo manager crashed then it was all cake. Booted into recovery from Goo manager app and did a backup (lol 3gb) and booted right back up into stock rom and all is perfect. Like they said just waiting on ROMs.

I tried flashing CWM through RomManager without first being HTCDev unlocked. Duh!
But now it seems I have no recovery at all. If I try to reboot into recovery I just end up at the bootloader with no option for recovery. If I power off and then boot up with pwr+vol dn, I get to the bootloader with the recovery option, but if I select it I go to a screen that says:

I don't plan on installing custom ROMs so I'd like to just get back to the stock recovery.
Help appreciated.
If you're not going to flash ROMs why you even messing around with rom manager and CWM? Anyways go to development section and find the CWM thread. There you'll find a link for the stock recovery that you have to flash via terminal emulator.

I used CWM and RM on my OG EVO all the time so after rooting the LTE I kind of started doing it out of habit.
I've changed my mind on the LTE and want to stay rooted but stock.
I found the stock recovery image and tried installing it with fastboot but I can't without unlocking the bootloader through HTCDev.
Is there another way to install it?
Use terminal emulator
And do what with it?
flash ruu im pretty sure that gives u a stock recovery back?? correct me if im wrong
I'd like to avoid wiping the phone unless I absolutely have to. I just _finally_ got it how I want it.
Okay, I got it.
I found instructions on flashing recovery using flash_image. Though I couldn't install flash_image as described. I used ES File Explorer to copy flash_image from my sdcard to /system/bin and then changed the permissions to rwx r-x r-x.
Next I used Terminal Emulator and ran: flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
That worked.
FYI I just reinstalled the stock recovery myself but used the image and the process documented in the OP of the Clockwork Recovery thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675430
Doing it that way, I didn't need to download an additional program other than Terminal Emulator which I already had, and then the stock recovery image which is linked at the bottom of the OP. Easy peasy!
unroot before flash to Viperboy's stock recovery.img?

Sprint HTC One Stock 1.29 rom looking to OTA a couple times to 4.3. I am rooted, S-off, locked. Do I need to unroot before update? Or can I simply re flash to stock recovery then update. Can't seem to find a way to flash with twerp. Not sure why some Dev has not figured out how to flash the OTA from Twerp yet.
Has anyone tried to move the downloaded OTA to fastboot and flash it from there? Or terminal Emulator? I'm a rookie please don't be offended. It just seems like it should be possible. I don't know much and want to Leave it to the Pros! Thanks Hope to hear some responses on this. Patiently waiting to do it right. Thanks to all the developers. Have had a pleasant experience here!

Hi Blax,
You will probably want to go through adb here is a link to follow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601942 that is for installing cwm or you can install twrp which can be found in the developement thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1414
There are a number of good roms out there now which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523719
I did run cm9 for a bit but it had a quirky black screen when rotating that I didn't like. Two of my favorites are androwook and virtuous. If you get stuck there is lots of help in the dev forum, just make sure you search before you ask because chances are the question has been answered multiple times, I have learned from experience if it happens to you it has probably happened at least 10 other times All I can suggest is do a lot of reading first, chances are your questions will be answered before you ask....
Also if your doing any adb, it is best to have the file you are working with in the adb directory, this way you don't have to use any paths...
Thanks Gage_Hero does installing cwm have to be done through adb or can i just unlock and install TWRP recovery through goo manager since im already rooted but unlocked

I honestly can't say yes or no, I haven't used twrp, before you do, I would search the twrp thread and see if anyone has taken the path. Best to find out before you end up in a wreck If I am trying something new I always research it first and if you don't find a definitive answer, ask one of the twrp dev's they will tell you for sure if it is possible. I am not trying to scare you but I have seen people do things that they didn't check out first then have to go through alot of trouble to get back when they could have done a couple of extra steps and been up and running in minutes not days.

you install clockworkmod through adb.
You must have your tprime drivers on ur comp installed
As well as java dev kit (JDK) and Android sdk tools installed on ur computer.
I know no other way of doing it.
sources: I do it frequently on my rooted, unlocked, overclocked, waranty voided PRIME
Hope it helps
Ugh, frustrating. Sorry if there is a post on this, I did search but couldn't find anything.
Ok, so was looking to flash the CM10, feeling relatively comfortable with rooting and flashing roms on my Evo 3d GSM I figured I'd do the same with my TF201. I'm running Build 9.4.2.28-20120525 so I downloaded the Asus Unlocker. Ran it. Everything appeared fine. Then went to instal ROM Manager. I got a message saying that SU Access had been denied. Ok. Looked at my SuperUser app, everything looked fine, I set permissons to automatically allow rather than ask. Attempted to flash ClockworkMod Recovery through ROM Manager and had ROM Manager freeze. Had to force close it.
So I worried that something was up with either the unlock process (It said everything unlocked properly, even restarted the system first before doing any of this stuff) or the SU. So I uninstalled the SuperUser App and installed the SuperSU app to see if that made any difference. When I start up SuperSU I get a message that says "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?" I said yes and all I get is "Installation Failed!"
I'm really worried I've screwed my system right over. I am not sure what to do next.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Oh I forgot to mention that attempting to boot into recovery gets me the sad little dead android with the ! coming out of his chest... Ominous!
I believe the ASUS unlocking tool only unlocks the bootloader. It doesn't install root or a custom recovery. When I unlocked my Prime, I installed a custom recovery through fastboot, then installed a custom ROM through that recovery. There are various threads that explains the procedures to install custom recoveries and ROMs, and if you need further assistance, I'm sure many here will be glad to help.
~Azrael's Kiss~
Yeah looks like we're good now. Had to reinstall SU but it worked out fine int he end. Flashing CM10 now.
Wouldn't recommend Rom Manager for the prime, people have experience problems, use TWRP (i think thats right) from GooManager instead.

Its just from what i've heard - if it works ok for you then you might be fine with it - might be worth reading up on it.
I had problems with it then read up about other people having same issues to moved to the TWRP and have had no issues since.

Yeah, thanks for that. Seeing as the JB roms are still very much in development, it's likely best if I update the recovery manager to whatever is the most up to date so as to (hopefully) minimize any risk.
Man, things have come a long way from when I rooted my SE Xperia X10 on Eclaire!
Thanks for the advice guys.
Roach2010 posted he uses TWRP which I think is a pretty good endorsement.

Trwp is a great recovery. never had any issues using it. makes flashing roms easy n seamless. I use it on my prime & nexus 7. plus the ability to compress the nandroids to save space is great. also allows batch flashing which it'll flash the zips in the order you choose.
I have the HTC Rezound with the recently released O.T.A. ICS from Verizon. My objective is to root the phone and kill all of the B.S. bloatware that Verizon feels they must add to the phone. I have posted before to ask how to do this and everyone says root the phone and kill the apk files or alternatively Root the phone and download Rom Toolbox then kill it from there. I have gone through and followed the "[GUIDE] Super-noob guide to unlocking, rooting, and flashing Ziggys kernel" to the 'T' up until its time to load the Kernel. I do not want to change the Kernel so my qquestion is:
If i have gone through the process of rooting my phone it should be rooted at this point. However when I run Root Check Basic it tells me "Sorry this device does not have proper root access." I do not understand why. In order to get full root access am i going to have to continue with installing the Kernel.
Is there anybody who could help me. I am missing.

1. Wrong section. Please post things like this in the general or q&a sections, not flaming, just telling you for future references.
2. If your device has an unlocked bootloader, flash amon ra recovery or twrp and go to the dev menu and it will say something like give Su permissions or root or whatever, just click that.
3. Profit.
4. You're welcome.
To root you should download the latest version of SuperSU zip file, and flash it with anon RA recovery.

You do not need to root your phone to get rid of the bloatware, you can keep your phone stock unrooted and debloat it yourself and not have to worry about flashing anything. To disable go to menu>apps and after clicking an app you see the choice of disabling.
SuperSU not working
I don't know why i cant get this to work. I have flashed the amon recovery to my phone. Followed these steps:
1)Flash AmonRa Recovery.
2) Boot into AmonRa Recovery.
3) Scroll to and enter the Developer menu.
4) Scroll to install Su. DO NOT INSTALL THE ENG (Unguarded) one. Use the other one.
5) Confirm this, when it is finished, go ahead and reboot. You should be rooted.
Downloaded the SuperSU from google play and select install. after a few minutes it comes back and says the SU binert needs updated, I select continue. then after about a minute it says installation failed.

Flash in recovery. If you have already flashed a custom recovery(amon ra) then pull your battery, hold out for 3 seconds, insert battery, hold vol down and power at same time til bootloader boots, select recovery, select flash zip menu, select sdcard(assuming you placed flashed zip on external sdcard), select file, press power to confirm, reboot when done. Now you should be rooted.

thank you guys. really.
I want to root it, unlock it, install custom recovery, and start installing custom ROMs. So where do I begin in that aspect? I would like to start tonight so I don't start installing things and then start the process.
I've read that the bootloader can't be unlocked, but it can be bypassed. Is that correct? If so, what is the exact process to go about that?
I would assume if I'm unlocking the bootloader, it's a one shot including root. Yes?
Anyway, just help me out where to go. The only thing I've seen in the VZW sections is a sticky that tells you how to root the device. I wanted to get all three down, Root, Recovery and Bootloader.
this does all 3.....

You can download any app on google play that requires root. If it asks for root permissions and it works, then you have successfully rooted your phone. Or you can download this app to check for root: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en
