Does anyone have a quick write up of how to do this? I have an HTC one and I have been running the Insert Coin roms, but now the new roms require TWRP and I dont want to end up with a bricked phone.

Easiest way is to install GooManager > Grant SuperUser access > Menu > Install OpenRecovery Script > Confirm > Wait for it to download & finish.

http://teamw.in/project/twrp2 > It's explained here, along with the other methods. Just click on the Get TWRP for Your Device box at the top right and put in HTC One, then make sure to pick the right one. The recoveries are different between manufacturers and the M7/M8, obviously.
Pretty hard to brick install recovery on these things.
I would suggest just using fastboot, fastest and safest method

That's my preferred way to do it too, but TWRP themselves have the app install as their preferred way on their site.
So does clockwork and 4ext but I prefer fastboot. Choice is for the user I guess

Indeed. Another reason to suggest the app as it is more friendly to the timid ones.
It really does pay to get familiar with both fastboot commands and adb though, if you plan to mod your phone. At least to make sure that the drivers are loaded in worst case scenarios.
As far as I understand it, CWM or TWRP run in temporary partitions and in the RAM, much like boot tools on a PC such as Pmagic.
I started off with CWM via Odin on the PC and have since managed everything from there. I tried out TWRP by using a flashable zip in CWM, rebooted the usual way via the gui, tried out TWRP, then flashed CWM back and everything is fine.
It seems to me there is no danger and you just flash it the way you would a custom firmware. Plus you can back up and restore your recovery using either CWM or TWRP. In my short experience with it so far, you don't need an app, just flash and be happy. But always remember to have a backup or the original zip in case you wish to go back.
And if somehow you do mess something up (I guess it happens sometimes), make sure you have the right md5 to reflash in Odin. Simple. Just never delete anything you could need again.

use terminal emulator and reflash your recovery with flash_image. you got a bad flash or a bad download of the recovery it sounds like.
there is a slim chance you aren't rooted correctly too, in which case it won't let you flash the recovery until you get permanent root. hopefully this isn't the case.
Pretty dumb question what's flash image n just incase how do I check. For a permanent root?

My advice is not to do ANYTHING until you are at a computer and have at least a half an hour available. This sounds like your first time flashing a ROM, take some time to look up key terms and such, your patience will reward you greatly. It is difficult to flash without a computer. Go to a friends house, a library, something and do it from there. To check if you have root, download the app root checker from the market. Then, after confirming root status, work from there and flash a new recovery by pushing it through ADB. Then, place the ROM on the sd card and flash it through your recovery, then Google Apps. If you follow everything I say, and it still doesn't work, come back to this thread or send me a PM and we will go from there. Look into guides before posting, not trying to be mean, but they are there for a reason.

1.Flash revision3 via odin following the guide in its thread. (This will give you root)
2.Follow the bootloader unlock process in adam's guide from its thread (this will unlock your bootloader and unless hes changed it flash twrp a custom rocovery.)
Now you need to reboot into recovery and make a back up. To do this you need to go into recovery (twrp or clockwork mod). You can get to recovery by powering off the phone and holding volume-up+home+power. Now go to backup and back up. If you have an external sd I would recommend selecting the option to backup to it.
After that select a rom you want. If you want stock rooted you dont have to flash anything. Look in your app drawer if you see an app called supersu or super user you're rooted. If you want another rom follow these steps to flash it.
1. Read rom thread for known bugs so you know what youre getting into.
2. Download rom. DO NOT UNZIP.
3. Check md5 sum.
4. Move to external or internal sd where you can find it.
5. Boot into recovery.
6. Select install.
7 navigate to rom file.
8. Swipe to install. If it has aroma follow instructions if not wait for it to do its thing

It seems like CWM is the preferred recovery among most flashers and ROM developers. But I could be mistaken. Somewhere on xda or elsewhere I read a comparison of the 2.
Personal preference I used to use cwm but once I made the switch to twrp I did not look back. However some roms like cm10 say you must use cwm.
I used cwn on my nexus and twrp on my note 2. It seems if its touchwiz they recommend twrp if its aosp sourced they recommened cwm

Sorry if this was addressed elsewhere, but I did try to seek it out first. I am stock rooted (Exynos abuse method) and I have added in the all apps in multiscreen modification. Two questions:
1. From what I can tell, I do not need to flash revision3 first (since I am stock VRALJB rooted), just run the casual exploit and then flash suckitverizon, correct?
2. Does the add apps to multiview mod conflict in any way with unlocking the bootloader or flashing a new ROM?
I think I know the answer to both (yes and no respectively), but I like to measure twice and cut once. Thanks
Im not exactly sure. But in all honesty it would probably just be best to odin flash to stock and start over.

1. just did everything yesterday. i rooted with the exynos exploit but couldn't get odin to flash suck it verizon, so i rooted with casual, unlocked the bootloader with odin, which also installed twrp. i then hooked it up to my computer, copied clean rom to the sd card, and installed. no need to install revision if you don't want to. go straight to beans/cm10/PA/cleanrom or whatever else you want.
summary - root, unlock bootloader, install whatever rom you want. no need to install roms then overwrite those roms
2. if the rom is TW based, you can make any app multiview. beans and cleanrom come with the modification there already afaik. cm1-/aosp roms don't have it, as it's part of touchwiz
Followed the advice to flash back to bone stock, then unlocked the bootloader and flashed cleanrom. Piece of cake as advertised. Only hiccup was getting Odin to recognize my phone...had to start it a second time, but that was it. Thanks for the help.
hey guys im trying to unlock my bootloader as we speak and i cant get it to work it says my adb server is out of date. killing...

Those sound extremely easy enough. I flashed the boot.img, but I misunderstood the instructions on the Flash Image GUI and I didn't have the modules.zip extracted so I had to boot the phone to unzip the file then install it.
Do you always have to do this with the DNA or if we get S-Off, will it be as simple as a Nexus device where it's just a zip you flash?

just thought i'd add something
you need s-off because verizon or htc stopped allowing the dna to unlock its bootloader from their htcdev site
once s-off you can flash any rom, kernel or recovery
you do not need to unlock your bootloader
the link i found was dead so here is cwm touch recovery that i use http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=17561816589933340240
I think every rom available is already rooted so thats taken care of
i just read some of the guides that are up and they are outdated, so ask anythting you need here and ill help
OK sorry about that I meant s-off. So I do moonshine flash cwm and then do I have to install super user?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
nope all the roms are pre rooted with SU or superSU
but in case im wrong and you find a rom without root you can flash SU or superSU from recovery
hit "thanks" plx
simplified steps are:
1. s-off
2. flash recovery through adb
3. put the rom or rom and kernel you want on the phone and flash it in the recovery
thats it. its a bit simpler than most phones i think, especially samsungs as i just found out.
Step 1. S-off via Moonshine.
Step 2. Flash a recovery. I think the absolute easiest way is using this toolkit. This toolkit couldn't get any easier to use.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219175
Step 3. Flash whatever ROM you choose. I personally love ViperDNA.
Does moonshining wipe your data?

Nope... but sometimes the moonshine process will have problems that are typically resolved by doing a factory wipe, in order to sucessfully do the process.
OK now I'm coming from a Samsung device so it was a lot harder than this. My question is if I have to wipe data before flashing a rom or a recovery? I would also like to know what the adb is.

once you have the recovery installed you can choose "factory reset/wipe data" from the cwm menu along with wipe cache, also dalvik cache in the advanced menu in cwm, i do this before i flash any rom
ADB is how you flash a recovery and some kernels
but you need this driver installed http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/?section=Requirement
you also need that driver installed for moonshine to work but after you install it you need to remove the htc sync manager part of it

here is a small adb and fastboot setup
once installed you can put the cwm recovery in the same folder as adb open a cmd window and from the directory that has adb and the cwm you type
"adb reboot bootloader" no quotes
then
"fastboot flash boot clockwork-touch,img"
now you have recovery
I realize these instructions assume some levels of knowledge so if you need more details ask
I have done all you said and now have a rooted dna! the only problem is every time I select reboot from the cwm it just reboots to the recovery and not the actual phone? Any Idea of whats going on here?
ah it sounds like you wiped your rom before you transferred a new one to your phone
did you do a backup of your stock rom?
this recovery isnt perfect i dont think you can mount the sd card in it to transfer files
if you have no backup and no rom package on your phone and you wiped your stock installed rom then ive actually never come into this situation
im sure it can be resolved easily, let me test some stuff on my phone ill get back to you in a bit.
in the meantime does anyone else have any suggestion for this?
maybe team win recovery can mount sd?

It seems as if I can sideload from cwm as well. And how could I install the twrp recovery if I cant boot into the desktop
I would like to either install a sense 5 rom like you suggested or cyanogen mod. Im not so sure how to flash the twrp recovery if im only in the cwm recovery.
you can hold power and vol down, once it reboots after about 10 sec you let go of power and keep holding vol down till you see the bootloader screen, you can flash the recovery using adb like you did to get cwm on
ok never mind I figured out how to get the twrp flashed. now I will try to sideload
I would like to skype but I didnt build my pc with a camcorder. I can still do sound though, tell me if your okay with that. Ok now when I try to sideload it tells me that it cant find the device? not sure what that is.
i was just going to skype for chatting with text so its not like post and wait and refresh, takes forever
in the recovery there is a setting you activate to sideload you are using that right?
Well I may have truly found out how to brick this phone. First what you want to do is unlock the bootloader, then flash a recovery. Next you want to gain SU on the phone and root. If your their and you want to brick your phone you will need to do the following steps.
1. Forget to create a restore
2. Flash the google nexus 4.3 to the phone
3. realize it in a boot loop
4. format data on the phone (yeah that's right...I wiped everything)
5. sit back and admire your work.
Any ideas?

There is a way to adb a rom file onto the phone using twrp as long as you can get into recovery and the pc recognizes the phone....if no recovery though I don't know.. would have to be able to get into fastboot and flash twrp.

When you reboot, what does it do? Just sit there on the HTC screen, not light up at all, or something else?
I only ask because I thought I borked mine today going from the OTA, to .12, to S-OFF, the accidentally making it ENG S-OFF, and then the screen not lighting up when I'd try to do anything.
But I was able to get the silver HTC screen to pop up and flash the 4.1.2 RUU to go to WWE 4.2.2.
