I erased the recovery partition with fastboot. Tablet now boots up and is useable. I have no recovery mode but I decided to leave good enough alone.
Currently on hboot 2.09. I unlocked my bootloader but I seem to be unable to gain root access. I tried using the Universal HTC Toolkit to flash TWRP and flash superuser but that didn't work. I flashed TWRP 6.00 from fastboot since I know that TWRP flashes SuperSU when you reboot from it. Long story short, I still don't have root access. I got an app to check if I had root access and it said I did not. I've gone back into recovery, but whenever I try to reboot from recovery my phone freezes and reboots correctly, but doesn't check for superSU.
Anyone have any idea? Or have a superSU or superuser zip that I could flash so I could gain root?
Not sure about that TWRP version you're using since the most recent version is 2.7.x. At any rate the most recent version of SuperSU can be found in the link below. Download the zip and flash in recovery.

Can I use the most recent TWRP even if I'm still on hboot 2.09?
double edit: Thanks for the help!
Yes. You can get it from the TWRP website.

I assume now that I'm rooted I can just use the TWRP app? I can't use fastboot commands on my work computer, unfortunately.
You can flash it using the bootloader method. No PC required.
Not sure what app you're referring to. Goo Manager?

Hello.
I had to revert to stock to recover from some bad flash using this procedure : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2641261
I would like to reinstall TWRP recovery so that it can be used to flash firmwares from zip files and also recover from my backup on my SD card. What is the correct way to do this? Which TWRP recovery should I use? Where should I download it from?
Thanks.

The twrp instructions are here:
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/214
The latest version available there is 2.7.1. I believe that there were some updates for "May devices".
There are 2.8 version in kuronsan's KK ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oma...rom-omate-truesmart-ironman-firmware-t2998434
The recovery image should be flashable as described on the twrp page.
(TWRP 2.8 adds MTP in recovery, which works much better for me.)
I've tried overwriting the recovery that comes with the latest stock from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2641261 with 2.7.0, 2.7.1 and 2.8 and I cannot enter recovery...
Edit : I've just flashed 2.6.3.0 and I was able to switch to recovery... knock on wood...
I have a doubt..
If I make a twrp backup of the stock ROM without any modifications.. Then when I restore the backup in future will I be able to get the OTA update of OOS??
Anyone?
Yes you should be OK for OTA updates with a stock non-rooted backup

Yes if backup is of non-rooted ROM and with original recovery (not with TWRP) then you will be fine.

By simply restoring your device from backup (Original ROM) and then install OTA updates by doing system update.

So instead of flashing TWRP recovery on your phone, you can simply boot your phone in TWRP by -
Code:
fastboot boot <twrp img>
And once your phone is booted in TWRP, you can create backup.
If you noticed we are giving fastboot command to boot in twrp only (not flashing TWRP on our phone).

Yeah.. But what's the difference.. I mean making backup by just booting twrp and using a flashed twrp.. As now twrp also supports OTA updates..

Difference is - with Flashed twrp your backup will have custom recovery as compare to booting twrp in which you will have original recovery in backup.
Yes, now twrp supports OTA updates. So you just have to download OTA's and flash through twrp. But, I still prefer to make backup of originial rom just in case I messed up something.

I hope this works.. This would make it easier to change roms.. And would Save data too.. As I don't have to download full OOS
I had twrp installed before, and i wanted to updae it. So i downloaded twrp app, downloaded twrp img file and try to flash it , and twrp app says flash webt fine. But when i reboot to recovery it keeps loading, like if it was a bootloop of TVE recovery... Idk what is happening, can someone help me?? Thanks!!
Heyyo, hmm is TWRP app installed as a system app? TWRP is able to do that from within TWRP recovery. Installing it from the Play store does not install it as a system app.
I do always prefer to install TWRP updates manually but that's just personal preference.
If you can't boot to recovery? You may need to flash TWRP via bootloader and a PC using...
fastboot flash twrp-3.2.1-2-x2.img
Good luck!
Oh, if you're rooted? I think you can use flashify app via play store to flash TWRP image to recovery... But tbh haven't tried it like that in a while but I imagine it still can work like that.
