So right now i am using TWRP 2.5 for the htc one v (cdma) and wanted to switch to CWM touch but when i download it from ClockWorkMod's website it gives me a zip file (so i cant fastboot flash it) and when i install it through my recovery it loads it up once but then the next time i boot into recovery it's back to twrp. Can someone tell me why it's doing this and can help me get the CWM recovery to stick?

Have you tried downloading the twrp pg86img.zip & make sure it's named PG86IMG.zip then put it on the root of you're sdcard, boot into bootloader and update that way?
CM powered EVO 3D, enough said.

when the device either hangs on the htc logo or reboots while on the htc logo, it means there is an issue with the actual kernel/ramdisk.
when dealing with a custom recovery, they should always boot without any issues. the best suggestion off the top of my head is to make sure if you're on the CDMA version, use the shooter recovery and if you're on the GSM version, use the shooteru version of the custom recovery.
otherwise, as suggested above, reflash the confirmed correct custom recovery for your device. there are a few ways to flash the custom recovery although, being you used the htc unlock method, regular custom recovery mode will not have write access to the boot/kernel partition.
if you're interested in loading any ROMs which come with kernels or separately flashing a custom kernel, there are essentially two complete methods:
1) use my Flash Image GUI app from normal android mode to flash the kernel. then flash the ROM from custom recovery.
2) use fastboot boot c:\android\cwm-recovery.img . this will temporarily boot the custom recovery and htc unlock will grant it write access to the kernel/boot partition. this command is different than fastboot flash recovery c:\android\cwm-recovery.img. the fastboot boot will temporarily boot into the custom recovery while fastboot flash will permanently write it into the recovery partition.
hope all the extra details make sense and helps!
Ummm.....Just my 2 cents, but it sounds as though the most basic possible problem has been overlooked here. You need to go into menu>settings>power and uncheck the "fast boot" box or do a battery pull, then try to boot into your bootloader to access recovery. With your phone completely powered down (fast boot unchecked or after battery pull), hold volume down and press power. That will put you in your bootloader with an option to boot recovery from there.
ok i'm a noob i've used thr shooter and not the shooteru cwm img, now all works
ty guys
Hello everyone, i rooted my Evo 3d about 4-5 months ago via HTC unlock method and when i go into fastboot screen (holding down Vol - and Power when phone is off) it says S-ON and all that. (just so you guys have an idea where im coming from)
now the thing is every time i want to flash a ROM or kernel or even go into recovery i have to flash the recovery image via fastboot so i can THEN go into CWM.
The other day one of my friends showed me his EVO 3d and he had an updated CWM recovery that was touch screen based (with bigger options) and he could access it from the phone per-say without having to flash the image via fastboot like i have to everytime i want to update my ROM.
Where can i go about finding out how to update my CWM recovery or should i first UNROOT my phone then re-root it to install this new recovery? My primary concern is just being able to access the Recovery without the need of fastboot.
Im afraid to mess things up since i lost my warranty when i unlocked via HTC method.
I am sorry to say that. You can not downgrade your hboot version and forget s-off (for now) does not matter which c.recovery you use. If you dont want to boot in recovery with your pc , you can use GUI app. Sorry. MY friend

The cwm recovery can be booted without using fastboot too.
I think you always use "fastboot boot cwm.img" command to boot the recovery right?
But if you use "fastboot flash recovery cwm.img" you can always boot it without the use of fastboot.
And if you want to use the recovery like your friends 3d then download and flash this -> http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Or you can also flash TWRP 2.0 touch screen recovery from here -> http://teamw.in/project/twrp2
I prefer twrp 2.0 than clockworkmod as cwm is littlebit buggy.
NOTE: Even though you can boot recovery from your phone itself without using fastboot, you must boot recovery from fastboot for flashing kernels or ROMS with kernels different than your current one.
I had my Hero installed with Elelinux 7(gingerbread) and did not have a back up of my official ROM. Recently I moved to an RUU ROM (Build number 3.31.720.4), now i'm planning to move to CM7 but im not able to boot into the recovery mode. I have rooted my phone now but still not able to boot into recovery mode. When i boot in Hboot it says some files are missing. What all things do i need to do now Hboot, fastboot, S-OFF etc.,
I'm planning to install a OTA ROM hoping that will help me. Please advise?
The easiest way to fix this is to download and install rom manager, then flash "clockworkmod recovery" then simply click "reboot into recovery".
Hello Friends,
I have got twrp and cwm recovery installed in my phone.When i start my phone in recovery it runs in cwm recovery and when i reboot my phone iit runs twrp instead of my rom.I tried wiping the data through cwm recovery, but with no success.I have got stock jb installed on my phone. Please help.
You saying that phone cant boot ? Try to flash again the recovery you want (Flash the right recovery! For Hboot 1.24 flash ics, for 1.25 flash jb) then go to recovery) Or just flash the stock recovery ? You can find it in the forum.

Sounds to me like you flashed JB recovery on ICS hboot.

You installed twrp to boot partition, that's why it boots directly into twrp (using fastboot flash boot twrp.img) You need to flash TWRP to recovery partition (using fastboot flash recovery twrp.img). Then enter recovery, install ROM, and flash boot image to boot partition (fastboot flash boot boot.img).

thank you for your help.i flash boot boot.img file and twrp got replaced.but i have come up with a new problem now.my phone is s- on and its not accepting the rom which i downloaded from here(2.20.401.5_Deodexed). i thought because my phone is s-on it might accept the original jb rom(ROM_JB_STOCK_HTC_DESIRE_X_INDIA_HTC__038) but still even this version is not installing. so now my phone is not having any rom.what should i do???
So I just recently used sunshine in order to gain S-Off on my HTC One. I used adb and fastboot in order to flash twrp recovery onto it but it unfortunately won't load into recovery from the fastboot menu. It says at the top that it is entering recovery in pink like it should but then just sends me back to the Hboot menu. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I tried using the lastest twrp and twrp 2.7
Okay so i got TWRP installed but I can't flash a rom, they all just say that the zip file is corrupt???
Updating to the latest Twrp and doing the Error 7 fix worked perfectly! Sorry for the wasted time!
