Lol you just thanksed my posts like a boss!

Quick question.

Anybody remember that when we (hboot 1.50 users) boot cwm 4.0.1.4.img recovery through fastboot , the red LED lit up. But if we boot twrp 2.0 it wont.

So will this recovery be able to write to boot partition even if we boot from fastboot, as the LED wont lit up and phone wont charge?

I m assuming that HTC made a fail safe , so that phone's battery wont die while flashing to boot partition.

P.S For those who dont know , any kernel.zip (not just boot.img but other kernel files also) can also be flashed through recovery if the recovery is booted from a PC .

I've been experiencing massive install issues with various roms. The symptoms are all kind of different post-flash which leads me to believe certain functions during the flash process are not working properly. For example I flashed Fresh and had mail and weather force close dialogue boxes on top of not being able to advance past the language option screen in setup. Rosie was missing from lockscreen and dalvik wipe and permission fix did nothing. Also Juicedefender started on my notification bar at first boot after 3x system wipe and dalvik and cache. Isn't that bizzare? Why would my application be present in the newly installed system? Other symptoms with installing roms include boot loop into recovery and system power off after initial boot animation. All very strange symptoms to me...kinda lost.
[HTC EVO 3D] kgreen66:
Custom kernals can be flashed this way? How about the radio update? Specifically Freeza's all in one? Sorry, I've been combing these threads trying to learn how and what to flash with my replacement HBOOT 1.5
[HTC EVO 3D] spookytay:
Did you wipe DATA also? Wiping Cache and Dalvik is fine if you're just updating the same ROM, but if you're switching to another different ROM, you need to wipe DATA, use a Superwipe etc to fix your problem. It will factory reset the phone in a sense, since you'll lose your setup and configurations for your apps.

EDIT: I just noticed you said you did a 3x system wipe, check your log window and see if there were any errors.
[HTC EVO 3D] Heaterz16:
Finally tried out this new recovery - its awesome!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] JJsax:
I'm very happy with the latest release. Great work Team Win as usual!
[HTC EVO 3D] xlxcrossing:
I assumed data wipe was covered in system or factory reset...in any case I did a full wipe according to the specifications of twrp 2. Last night i reflashed back to twrp 1.1 and low and behold both flash attempts worked perfectly after the first attempt. I also was successful in performing a recovery which also failed using twrp 2 (bootanimation froze) I also had many sideload errors with twrp 2 in which it couldn't install the kernel which didn't make sense since I booted from fastboot. In short although I prefer the amazing innovative quality that twrp 2 offers, I believe there to be some small kinks to work out with the wipe functions...I really don't feel it was cleanly wiping everything...I think it was installing the Rom data over the previous in most cases.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Just used HTC unlock on my replacement Evo 3D with 1.5 hboot and everything went smooth. But now when trying to install TWRP by the PG86IMG method I keep getting ERROR: MAIN VERSION IS OLDER. Any one have a modified version that will work for me? I see others getting that error when trying to unlock with HTC on version 2.17, but I'm on 2.08 an only getting it after unlock when trying to install a Recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! It really sucks not being able to flash or even root even though I'm unlocked!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
pull recovery.img from that zip, put into your tools folder (where fastboot.exe lives in your sdk), then plug in usb and "fastboot flash recovery nameofyourrecovery.img" then "fastboot boot nameofyourrecovery.img" = winning.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Thanks for replying!! I read the command before and didn't think it was fastboot boot recoveryname, will that install it so I can boot in to recovery without the PC after that?

EDIT: Was reading off my phone, on my pc now, and missed the first command you typed. Command Prompt Window scrolls a lot but just shows the same as if I just typed ADB, like its just showing a list of all the adb commands. What will it do or say if it correctly pushed the Recovery to my phone?

Also, what state should my phone be in? Should I boot up holding volume down down, then select fastboot before plugging it up to pc?

EDIT 2: Earlier when I tried it was if the pc wasnt communicating with my phone, I believe that it is now as I'm getting responses and errors that I was not getting before. After typing command to flash recovery, I get "error: cannot load twrp-shooter-2.0.0RC0.1" Any ideas?? The IMG I am using was downloaded from TWRP website and was the IMG file and not the ZIP file. Should I try pulling the IMG file from the ZIP file and placing that in my platform-tools folder? Thanks for the help!! Its killing me not having my device rooted!!!!!!!

EDIT 3: I am still getting the "cannot load error" with both the IMG file from TWRP's site and the IMG file that I pulled from the ZIP which I got from TWRP's site...

I'm not that familiar with ADB so this question may be dumb, but would files I already have on my sd card cause any issues? And with it saying it can not load the file is that on issue on the pc side or the phone side?
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
Not adb, fastboot. Find fastboot, defaults to android-sdk\tools. Then follow instructions above.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
What do you mean exactly? I pull up the Command Prompt Window by clicking on the Windows icon which opens the start menu, then in the bottom left there is a box to type in, there I type in "cmd", and it opens the black Command Prompt Window. Is that not right? Is it something different than from the command box that I used to do the HTC Unlock method?

I now see what my problem is. It is saying "device not found" when I type "adb reboot bootloader"

What state/screen should my phone be in for "adb reboot bootloader" to work? Or for it to recognize my phone at all for that matter...

I'm now wondering if I should uninstall HTC sync for this. I remember it having to be uninstalled for other times I rooted either my first Evo 3D or my Evo 4G

EDIT: Just thought of something, I may be an even bigger moron than I already appear to everyone reading this is already thinking :)

Well nevermind, I thought I had a thought of something stupid that I wasnt doing but that didnt work either...This is driving me crazy!!

EDIT: OK, with phone on homescreen, adb reboot bootloader works and puts my phone into Fastboot USB, but recovery still wont flash, still saying it cant load. I have the IMG file in my platfroms-tools folder and on the root of my sd card. Not sure what the issue is. I can obviously control my phone from my pc through adb, adb put me in to fastboot, just cant flash recovery

When typing "fastboot devices" it shows my phone, so I know the connection is there, just cant get Recovery
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
Put img in the SAME folder as where fastboot is. Usually not platform tools, just tools. You have usb debugging on right?
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
USB debugging is on , Fastboot is in my platform-tools folder, the IMG file is in that folder.

---------- Post added at 01:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 AM ----------

WOW I'm an idiot!! I got it to work. I wasnt typing .IMG after the recovery name!!! I knew it had to be something stupid small I was overlooking.

Everything up an running great! Can tether wifi to my ipod and iphone now which is awesome when I'm away from work or home. Titanium working great too.

ilDuce, THANK YOU so much for replying to me and trying to help me out. Cant believe I wasted hours trying to do that because I wasnt typing ".IMG" at the end of the file name, even though every guide says to do so!

Team TWRP, 2.0 is freaking awesome!! Glad I can finally try it out. I have used your Recovery since the day Revolutionary released root for us. In there guide I skipped the step to install Clockwork because I already had the first TWRP downloaded and ready to go! Thanks for all of you guys' hard work!!

NEXT DAY EDIT: Just thought I should say sorry for clogging the thread with my multiple posts due to my stupidity :-) I must say though that I now have a pretty good grasp in adb/fastboot due to my hours of going through every thing. So I'm taking that positive aspect away from that experience! :-D
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
Glad you got it. If I could count the number of times I went bat**** crazy when something didn't work, later to find out it was operator error... Well, I've been there a few rounds let's say. Thanks for the laugh btw :)

Master Duce to the rescue.
[HTC EVO 3D] KB112:
The project was scrapped as part of a Team Win project. That being said, one of the main devs behind this is continuing on. Project Phoenix will be released soon enough and is back wards compatible with TWRP.

Anyone else a little worried running this after seeing what happened to people using this recovery on the EVO 4g?

I've seen that as have others, hasn't stopped me. No reported issues on our devices.

Yeah, I am running it and can't believe how awesome it is - guess I will keep running it since no one else has ran into any issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] bballer71418:
Dear teamwin,

It really is unfortunate that this project didn't pan out like it could have. I, on a few seperate occasions, spoken with agrabren about the future plans for twrp and all the posiblities that were in store. I must give it up to everyone on the team though, your recovery truly has changed the way people think of recoveries (at least it did for me). I hope that toastcfh and the rest of the team works closely with koush to improve clockwork mod, it will be hard going back to something not so beautiful. At the end of the day it is just a phone but most people on these forums are probably just as addicted as I am and we all appreciate all the time everyone has put into this project. I'm glad to see the GUI open-sourced, now that the project is dead I'm glad you are letting everyone else take and improve on the hours of work the team has put out. I wish we could've seen a twrp 3.0 but teamwin still amazed me with the quality they put out even back to the og evo days. Thanks again, and I can't wait for what next is in store.

I dont know of a superior replacement yet. Any suggestions?
[HTC EVO 3D] ridleyj329:
currently using TWRP 2.0 and wondering if anyone knows how to get back to the stock recovery?
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the whole reason we root our phones is to be able to install a custom recovery, which will then allow us to install costom roms & kernels? In other words, won't going back to the stock recovery effectively unroot your phone? If it will, then is that what you're really wanting to do? If it is, then won't just flashing an RUU effectively get you back to that point?

Or is there something I'm misunderstanding about the concept of root, or what you're trying to do? Please forgive my ignorance but truly curious here..
[HTC EVO 3D] ridleyj329:
im trying to flash an ota so that i can be fully stock but locating a flashable pg86img is not the easiest thing to do. if i try to flash the ota as is it wont work with a custom recovery

You can't restore cwm backups with twrp.
[HTC EVO 3D] kenpen:
Thanks but I went into restore and only saw one backup and on cwm I had three.

Am I doing something wrong
[HTC EVO 3D] jbermi:
no, there is nothing wrong. BUT DO NOT RESTORE A BACKUP MADE WITH CWM USING TWRP...it will bork your phone bad. if you want those backups in twrp, you would need to flash cwm then restore the backup you want, then go back and flash twrp and then make a backup in twrp.
[HTC EVO 3D] grindnmosh:
Awesome interface and nand backups and restore is flawless
[HTC EVO 3D] Formhault:
I see this question has been asked three more times before, but left without an answer.

So, I'm gonna bump this again. Will it work on the GSM EVO 3D?!

I tried to flash the PG86IMG.zip via Bootloader, but I get a model ID failure or something (naturally, if the .zip was designed for CDMA ID).

Would it work on the GSM, anyway? Say, if we flash it via fastboot flash recovery.img...
[HTC EVO 3D] miguelfp1:
no, it won't
[HTC EVO 3D] Formhault:
Kay.

GOD ! WHY ! :(
[HTC EVO 3D] miguelfp1:
I've really got no idea, but it probably has to do with hardware differences :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] Formhault:
Do they differ that much?

Oh wait, the CDMA requires a differently built CPU, not only a small secondary signal processor like old phones used to have... DAMN ! :(
[HTC EVO 3D] aFoodStampBaby:
Is this good to go or is it still being worked on?
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
There are plenty of folks using it, but I don't think it's being supported any longer (I could be mistaken).
[HTC EVO 3D] smw6180:
Nope, they're not working on it anymore. I've never had any issues with it, some others have.
[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
Can the backups be renamed?

Also why would they not be working on this anymore is it because they find it to be working perfectly or did they just abandon it? I'm just curious cause so far its working perfect for me it wipes , installs , backs up and reinstalls backups flawlessly. I haven't had a single issue yet but I've only been using it for 4 days but I've been flashing non stop.

i rename via astro...or whatever your favorite file explorer is.

as the them not working on it... http://teamw.in/blog/15
[HTC EVO 3D] miguelfp1:
You can rename backups, but make sure to not use spaces or special characters (periods and underscores are fine)

as for development of TWRP, it was a decision by TeamWin to stop developing it.
[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
I'm having an issue using this recovery and bootmanager. The problem is that I can't see any files inside of the bootmanager folder on my sd card , so I can't recover my phone ROM if something goes wrong . I tried formatting the card and I still have the same problem. This doesn't happen using cwm so for now I'm going back to that. I would really rather use this recovery so if anyone knows a way to fix this, that would be great.

I have hboot 1.40 with a 16gb class 10 Samsung micro sd card.

TIA for any help.
[HTC EVO 3D] thisguyinoc:
This never happened before, but now when i try to install a file, as I navigate to the folder I have the files downloaded to, nothing shows up in the folder, not even "." or ".." to go back. I mounted the SD card and see the files in there, but can't see them in TWRP.

Thanks,
[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
This is the same thing that happened to me. It was working great for a little while then this happened. I even formatted the card and reflashed the recovery but it didn't fix the problem. I just flashed the cwm touch recovery and everything is working fine so far so I don't think it was a problem with my card.
[HTC EVO 3D] Heaterz16:
I am using this recovery with no issues at all - I love it!
[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
I love this recovery and besides the issues with bootmanager it worked great for me, but I want to be able to use that app and the cwm recovery is the next best thing for now.
[HTC EVO 3D] pitbulledEvo:
Wow they quit with development??

This is as far as I've seen the best recovery yet. Beats out amon, clockwork and 1 more that is fairly new. Can't remember the name? I figured if team win started off with such a great recovery, things would just keep getting added. Not that it needs it, but its fast, nice UI, wipes everything completely, unlock clockwork mod. I just came from the og evo 3 days ago. I'm used to amon recovery. I'm also use to DTapps2SD but I've read people saying you don't need it. You can always use more internal space and ram?? just my 2 cents. If Win is done, thanks for an awesome recovery fellas!!
[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
Why people continue to rage on this thread about a dead/abandoned recovery? No dev is reading this due to the obvious. Why keep bothering with this? Grow up kids. Move on. This is a dead thread.

[HTC EVO 3D] pitbulledEvo:
I was just concerned that they found a bug that I didn't hear about. As in a unfixable bug. I'm brand new to the 3vo forums, but I've been following development for the O.G 4g since I bought it on launch. So all I know is Amon, amon, amon recovery. Which doesn't seem to work on the 3vo?? So far I've heard Clockwork and TWRP as the go to recoveries. I thought TWRP was just developed recently, and they quit a month later. If you or anyone else reads this, Please feel free to suggest or give your opinion on 3D recoveries. As I said, Amon is all I heard about for the o.g 4g. Thanks in advance if anyone suggests recovery Info.
[HTC EVO 3D] miguelfp1:
TWRP 1.1.1 is the most stable of them, TWRP 2.0 works perfectly for some (like me), not as well for others

I personally prefer the 2.0 version, as backups and compressed backups are much, much faster than on 1.1
[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
I have had zero issues with TWRP v2.0.0 RC0.1. It can backup my partitions in less than 5 minutes. It can restore them as well. It flashes most, if not all, of the ROMs available here without issues. It runs my wiping scripts properly. I don't use any themes, so I can't comment on that. But, like I said, it works like a charm for me.

I, too, come from the EVO 4G world. And yes, I only used Amon RA recoveries back then because it did worked better than CWM. When TWRP was released, I no longer had my EVO 4G (I already had upgraded to the EVO 3D) so I can't comment on TWRP's performance on that phone.

As for the recoveries available for the EVO 3D, there's this one (TWRP), and CWM, and there's a version of ClockworkMod Touch floating somewhere but I haven't tested it, again, because TWRP suits my needs, even though it's no longer being developed.

This is all I know about recoveries for the EVO 3D and my experiences with this one. Also, check my signature for the configuration I'm currently using, and working well for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] pitbulledEvo:
Thanks Miguelfp1, and Docx! Pretty much all I needed to know was covered. I'm loving the faster processor in this over the O.G. I've been using TWRP now for 2 weeks, which is when I got the 3D as a replacement phone. "Brand new" as far as I can tell. I was worried about the refurbished horror stories, but if this is refurbished they did a great job. Thanks again for the help guys. Off to flashland again, until I have 2 or 3 roms I can backup, and use when I want a change haha.
[HTC EVO 3D] R32_Rocky:
I had been using TWRP2 for quite some time, and liked it a lot. But suddenly last week, I was no longer able to do any full restores. It would begin, but end rather quickly, and would show it only did the system files. Yet it didn't, cause rebooting it would stay on the HTC splash screen. This was with the 1.4 engineering h-boot, so it was not the typical improper recovery procedures need for the 1.5 h-boot.

The way TWRP2 was acting, it was like how some trial software goes beyond the trial period, and features start to become disabled.
