Is there a stock boot.img file available? I stupidly flashed the twrp file over my boot instead of recovery and am having obvious issues now. I see the thread with a twrp backup of boot+ everything else, but I would need to flash with fastboot I'm guessing.
I was able to use a backup from another thread and restore in twrp. I get messages in the boot loader now about missing some gift files? Nothing seems impacted tho

I have a question I have not seen asked yet. Maybe someone here has more insight. My replacement 3vo came with hboot 1.5 so I unlocked using HTC's method and flashed TWRP. The nandroid I made after flashing was of the stock rom and stock kernel. Now, I have flashed MIUI and tiamat's kernel. That was a pain because recovery doesn't have permission to flash the boot partition unless you use fastboot to boot the recovery image. If I were to attempt to restore my nandroid, wouldn't it screw up the restoration due to the boot partition not being flashed?
What about when switching between an ASOP rom to Sense rom or vice versa?
Should all nandroids be restored from fastbooting a recovery image?

Just use fastboot if you have to do a nandroid you'll be ok!

Yeah, I had suspected that would be the case. I figured this would come up in the future and need to be addressed at some point. I may try to restore my sense nandroid to confirm it won't work unless you use fastboot.

From my experience i dont think u need to boot to recovery through fastboot to make a working/good nandroid backup... However when you want to restore a back up through nandroid you must boot to recovery from fastboot or else it wont wont. One thing i find strange is that i can flash the sengry nightly rom without fastboot through recovery and it works fine but i can not do it to any other roms..
Now, does booting recovery from the fastboot menu work the same as sending the commands through fastboot using pc?

Do you mean booting recovery through bootloader without using fastboot command (With the phone connected to a computer)? If yes, then it doesn't work the same... As booting to recovery with fastboot (phone connecting to computer using fastboot command) allow you to flash Roms/Custom Kernels to your boot partition and using bootloader to boot recovery without fastboot doesn't allow that. Hope this help..

Bump* I'm currently on unlocked hboot 1.5 I don't care which recovery to flash. I've been trying to flash team win VIA rebooting the phone and install manually but it keeps saying that "main version is older" I've tried quite a few files from searching over Google
If you unlocked your phone then the folder you needed to root has the recovery in it. CWM*.Img

Which folder
You could download rom manager and flash it with that.
We're comin from a pure power source.
I just flashed it via fastboot. It worked.
I am using TWRP 2.0 but I can't flash a new ROM. I currently have WARMTWOPOINTTHREE ROM backup, but I tried to flash a new ROM after wiping everything, and when it re-boots it just goes to the white HTC screen and then goes black and just repeats it self over and and over.
so i take the battery out and boot my back up from recovery. what do i need to do to be able to get back to installing whatever ROM i want.
i am a obviously a noob so whatever help anyone can provide will be appreciated.
i was trying to flash the ZR3D 1.2 ROM by the way.
If your phone is a gsm version try this rom:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1267131
I just installed it on my evo 3d and works smooth
no its CDMA
I would go to Cwm 4.0 for recovery had nothing but issues using the latest twrp . Worked fine for awhile then it didn't wipe right to causing weird issues . Funky things after the rom flashed .

need more info in regards to how you flashed your rom but at this point im willing to bet you have lost your Boot.IMG and also did you use GUI app from market i did this and that how i lost my Boot.IMG and if so you will have to go to your pc and exract the Boot.img from the rom you flashed and after you have exratced file go to that folder and scrooll down until you see the Boot.IMG file and you will have to copy and past it into the folder that you used when you first rooted you phone and go to the start menu and typ cmd and you will have connect your evo to usb and typ fastboot flash boot boot.img and this will it boot right up after you flash the boot.img file

Im with reaper24 on this one.
Twrp cause nothing but issues. like not backing up my data correctly and having to redownload the ROM.
Im currently using clockworkmod 4.0.1.4. Havent had any issues with it.
Also have you read everything on ZR3D thread?
QUOTE-
***SPECIAL NOTICE: This rom is not for everyone! Some users have been unable to get past the splash screen. Please be sure you have a backup ready before flashing this rom. We are aware and working on this issue.
Thank you for your patience. However, 1.6 has been confirmed booting on some devices that would not in prior versions.***

Download the factory image. Extract it using 7-zip or winrar. Inside is a zip file, extract that too. In there you'll find recovery.img. Flash that in fastboot, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.

if your trying to take the OTA then you probably wont be able too if you *had* twrp installed
i wasnt able to take OTA at all, it kept failing(on stock recovery) saying that the system partition was mounted as R/W and had to be remounted but no matter i tried i couldnt get it to remount
What i ended up doing was downloading the latest update from the google page
but the .bat script is broken so i needed to do
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
to the files inside the .img file inside the update
it took me two days to figure this out so hopefully i helped you out(if you needed it)
Thank you! This helped me with a completely unrelated issue! Why do google provide a broken installer?!?!?!
If anyone can help. i need to know how to make a copy of my phones stock recovery before flashing a custom recovery. so i can flash back to stock recovery in order to an OTA update.
Thanks

If you are rooted already with a stock recovery, skip to the second half of the next paragraph.
What you want to do is boot twrp instead of flashing it at first. You do this by using the command "fastboot boot recovery.img" where as "recovery.img" is the name you have assigned to your twrp recovery image. Once you have booted into twrp, reboot system. You will be prompted to root the device (assuming you are not already rooted), select yes. Now that you are rooted, download this app. In the app settings change the backup format to .img, and then backup your recovery. Now you will have a copy of your stock recovery. Now that you have that, go back and flash twrp using the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", whereas "recovery.img" refers to whatever you have named your twrp recovery image.
all of this is assuming that you have adb setup on your computer, and a good working knowledge of how to use it.
What if I'm already rooted with twrp recovery, is it still possible?

You still have stock recovery? If so, it sounded like you did fastboot boot TWRP (instead of fastboot flash TWRP).
In which case, you can just then use TWRP to backup the recovery partition. You don't need a seperate app or root to do this.
I flashed twrp using fastboot flash recovery twrp but I'm still using the stock rom, but since I flashed twrp that means my stock recovery img is gone right?

Yes, you can only have one recovery at a time. TWRP custom recovery overwrote the stock recovery. You can't back up what isn't there anymore.
But you can always return to stock by RUU, if needed.
