Can't you just fastboot erase recovery and fastboot flash recovery?
[HTC One S] nate51:
Took your suggestion and got an error when trying to delete recovery. BUT I flashed 2.3.0.0 and now I am in TWRP. But when I try to mount USB it told me on my PC I need to format the disk. I formatted in exFat format but I cannot find the ROM zip I placed on it after the format.

[SOLVED] I formatted the sd again on my PC after mounting USB. Got the ROM going again. I was only trying to go to 2.5.0.0 as the ROM I wanted to install was giving me Status 7 error which I read was solved with a newer version of TWRP or CWM.
[HTC One S] ipit:
Just reformat in windows fat32 and try again. I'm pretty sure TWRP doesn't suppoet exFat.

PS: I'm all for tools etc but for a simple task like this there's no point in using them as you can't actually see what's going on. flashing recovery is a 2 second job using command line.
[HTC One S] nate51:
I agree. I just got very comfortable with this tool kit as it does so much. But I agree it's taking away from the learning experience which puts me in situations like this.

Thanks for the help though.
[HTC One S] Monkeywoman:
On TWRP site the newest version of recovery is 2.6.1. I have version 2.4.4 installed. Is it recommended I upgrade? There have been so many updates to the recovery that I think I should upgrade.
[HTC One S] ipit:
Don't bother. In fact you should downgrade to 2.3.3.0 as it's the most stable version. The updated versions don't offer anything as well as the wipe menu being terrible.
[HTC One S] crnkoj:
does this recovery support ext4 formatted "sdcard" partition?

[HTC One S] eminembdg:
This recovery is absolutely stunning! And being able to flash it with the script from goo manager is awesome!

I can't get over how gorgeous this is
[HTC One S] agentc13:
I have been trying to work on a theme for this and it doesn't seem to want to apply.

To start off I basically took the 540x960 theme examples and modified them just to get a feel for how things work. I referenced both the theme from the TeamWin site and the TWRP github for this.

I have the fonts folder, the images folder, and the ui.xml in the zip (I did not use any compression when zipping it). I place it in /sdcard/TWRP/theme/ and it is still the same stock theme. Is there something simple that I am missing.
[HTC One S] Dees_Troy:
On dual storage devices, the theme needs to go on internal storage. So it needs to be in /emmc or whatever it's called on the One S instead of on your removable sdcard.
[HTC One S] Reevine:
The One S has no removable sdcard. All of it's storage is internal. So instead of ext-sd it has int-sd. I'm also having this issue. So it would still go in /emmc?
[HTC One S] agentc13:
I'm having trouble finding out how to put it there. :confused: Input from anyone that can help would be appreciated. ;)
[HTC One S] eyeballer:
This looks like a device specific bug affecting the One S and the ATT One X, we'll look into it.
[HTC One S] onlinechi:
Any chance you will have a version of this recovery for those of us with the s3 processor version of One S..i can help if you need like a copy of the stock cwm or something.
[HTC One S] eyeballer:
CWM won't really help, ask the developer that ported CWM for you if he or someone else is interested in porting TWRP. It'll probably be relatively straightforward. Have them drop by our IRC channel. Info is in the OP.
[HTC One S] lainemac:
best recovery out there.
[HTC One S] shaboogy2255:
does this recovery have aroma support
[HTC One S] he_stheone64:
That was necessary when lot`s of guys upgraded from 1.53 base to 1.78 (or 1.84), which brought a new Kernel. When you switch between different 1.78 or 1.84 ROM`s, it`s certainly not necessary anymore, since you already have a working boot.img. Dev`s still stick with that procedure, since they can`t know, from which ROM base users start. So this is to avoid a lot of guys posting in the threads, "my device does not boot".
[HTC One S] eminembdg:
I've flashed 3 different roms with TWRP without having to fast boot the boot.img separately! It works perfectly
[HTC One S] lainemac:
Yes sir.
[HTC One S] eminembdg:
Is there somewhere where TWRP themes are posted?

HTC One S running Zydroid!
[HTC One S] blackhartct:
Themes are device specific so we will have to wait for someone to make some. But I believe that they aren't working for the one s right now.
[HTC One S] Smokem_I:
Yeah I have a theme Ive been working on but unfortunately at this time I have no way to test it... Once the theme engine gets fixed for the One S Ill release it.
[HTC One S] Obsidian_:
The main things I like about this recovery is that it's faster than cwm, you can actually mount to usb storage, and you don't have to flash boot.img manually when you want to put in a rom with a new base, absolutely fantastic.

5stars and thanked, I can't wait until themes start coming out.
[HTC One S] eminembdg:
Yea its friggen great. And I'm such an old school user of cwm but this TWRP is awesome and out does it ten fold!

HTC One S running Zydroid!
[HTC One S] dajones89:
For some weird reason fastboot isn't working on my device could this be installed on the phone without a computer, I'm thinking of downloading a cwm through Rom manager and then renaming twrp to match?
[HTC One S] eminembdg:
I installed it by downloading goo manager then when in goo manager hit menu then choose " install open recovery script". That's it, done, TWRP is installed

HTC One S running Zydroid!
[HTC One S] Smokem_I:
Yes you can get the recovery from GooManager found in the Play Store. Thats actually the preferred method by most. I fastboot flashed the first release but updated via GooManager ;)
[HTC One S] dajones89:
Thanks for the replies, goo manager is working and I'm booted back onto leedroid supreme after having USB problems on miui :)
[HTC One S] onlinechi:
Problem is there is no CWM either for the s3! :-s
[HTC One S] ViViDboarder:
Download Goo Manager. You can install it from there just like how Rom Manager works for CWM.
[HTC One S] pushtostop:
Hi

I've tried to install trickroid and energy blue Rom using this recovery ,but I cant get it to install boot.IMG

I've read that twrp can flash boot with no need to fastboot.

So I've been leaving boot in zip and just flashing in recovery .

Am I missing something stupid

Just moved from arc , so still new to all things htc

Appreciate any help
[HTC One S] Smokem_I:
Most of the time TWRP will flash the boot.img. I could be wrong as I have not flashed TrickDroid in a while but the problem may be with Aroma installer. When I flashed Leedroid I had to flash the boot.img because it wouldn't flash through Aroma. You can try flashing the boot.img through fastboot.
[HTC One S] Habarug:
I have never been able to use this to flash boot properly. I've tried both sense, cm9, paranoid and latest miui sense thingy and everytime I've had to use fastboot. Not a major issue, though, as fastboot works fine :)
[HTC One S] pushtostop:
Thanks for replies

Ah well back to fastboot so,at least it can restore boot from backup so I only need to fastboot once and backup.
[HTC One S] fipsib:
if you need help flashing the boot.img via fastboot, I wrote a tutorial:

[HTC One S] fipsib:
Wouldn't say that just because it looks different than cwm, I actually like the look of it!
[HTC One S] sumasage:
Thanks for the recovery!

One question for the dev - What exactly is Wipe > System? what exactly is wip when i choose "system"?
[HTC One S] Habarug:
That's your rom :) Usually you don't need that as most updater scripts wipes system automaticly when flashing a new one ;)
[HTC One S] Hopie:
nice recovery :good:

is it possible, when i start a backup, rename this as the ROM name? now is only the date
[HTC One S] philliman:
Which one do I install via goo mamager? I don't see one labeled ville. Thx for the help and thx for the decent recovery!
[HTC One S] philliman:
Edit: I figured it out :p:banghead:
[HTC One S] eyeballer:
Instructions are on our website.. but.. menu-install open recoveryscript.
[HTC One S] jureca:
Do you have usb storage?, thanks
[HTC One S] ZeppeMan:
Can't find the new 2.2 recovery, not on the goo manager app and not on your website. Am I missing something here..?
[HTC One S] Orical:
Care to tell the rest of us, don't really want to brick the device considering none of the listed recoveries are labled Ville.
[HTC One S] eyeballer:
Sorry the website didn't update but it's up there now, but goo manager has been live since I posted the update.

Please read the OP and the instructions on the teamw.in website.
[HTC One S] jriv:
Are we able to apply themes with this recovery with the update? I never could get themes to work with other versions. Great recovery btw.
[HTC One S] ZeppeMan:
If I click it for download it gives me "file doesn't exist". On goo manager I only can find the old version (2.1.8).
[HTC One S] qzem:
@eyeballer

Hello,

What data would you need to know to get this recovery working on htc s one with snapdragon s3 version? I would gladly provide it to you :).

Cheers
[HTC One S] kaeruil:
I found it on goo manager, and it said it installed it, but upon checking it the version was still 2.1.8. Guess I'll have to do it manually when I get home from work.

Sent from my HTC Axiom S.
[HTC One S] Orical:
You have to go on goo manager, hit menu and select openrecoveryscript. It doesn't exist as an independant file but that's why I couldn't find it, it also doesn't show if you look for it directly or by searching twrp.

@ eyeballer I'm not trying to be a **** by saying this so excuse the direction but the op doesn't say anything about going into the menu and selecting openrecoveryscript, if it did there wouldnt be so many people lost trying to update it. Maybe someone can update the op and it would make telling people to "read the op" a valid statement.
[HTC One S] eyeballer:
Yep, you need to go to our website for the full instructions. This is because soon they will change and we don't want to have to update every thread - much easier for us to maintain our website.
[HTC One S] Pheroh:
Good work.

BTW, the direct link here http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/100 is still invalid...
[HTC One S] eyeballer:
fixed.

10char
[HTC One S] Orical:
No I get that but most people won't and I understand that making a general listing makes it easier to manage in consideration to the amount of devices supported but this isn't a theme or mod. I agree with you I just think people should be aware that installing the wrong one can brick your device so look for what they post even if its not here.

On another note, I was always a CWM user and was weary of using anything else. Since I took the time to try this out and actually use everything it offered I can honestly say its well put together with advanced functionality in mind it works great. It will be hard to compare against anything else.

Great work.
[HTC One S] encho:
My thoughts exactly. At first I hated the look, but grew to love it. Also having file browser, keyboard, batch jobs, etc are all amazing features! It is almost like a small rom, maybe you could put some games to play while flashing :p

2 things I've noticed though on the latest edition: long press doesn't work for me, and terminal doesn't output results of commands. But not big deal anyway, keep up the good work.
[HTC One S] Opentang:
Recovery locks up whenever I try to set the backup name, anyone else or am I alone on this one? Will re-install recovery through fastboot again and report back..
[HTC One S] Pheroh:
Works fine for me.
[HTC One S] Orical:
+1 everything works great here. The only problem I had with this recovery was the previous release had wipe rotation which I had never seen before so I went for it and all of my back-ups had been borked and couldn't restore anything. This version doesn't have that but good thing I also keep anything I back up on the puter other wise I'd have been out of luck.
[HTC One S] iheartn1:
Now that we can enable keyboards in recovery, the option to password lock recovery access would be awesome.
[HTC One S] qzem:
Any reply on this question? If someone could guide me, I will try to port this recovery on my htc one s by myself.

Thanks!
[HTC One S] eyeballer:
It would be best if one of you could stop by our IRC chan at some point. Or if you have any kernel/rom developers for your device and they're interested in helping, encourage them to stop by. Info is in the OP.
[HTC One S] iCaptivate:
Is it safe to flash a kernel through TWRP? Or is there a higher chance of failure than success?
[HTC One S] Opentang:
Found the issue ^^. Whenever setting a backup name that is identical to a previous backup name, recovery locks up.

Higher chance of failure. Fastboot is always the recommended method and is extremely easy.
[HTC One S] Orical:
I haven't had an issue with flashing kernels with this yet myself, maybe I'm just lucky so far.
[HTC One S] invasion2:
Me too. Though I have only flashed about 6 kernels/ROMs.
[HTC One S] Pheroh:
I can confirm this. If there is a name conflict, the recovery will just freeze.
[HTC One S] qzem:
I will do that after my summer brake is.over:)
[HTC One S] v3n3:
Had some BIG Problems with Radio using this.

Also for some reason the Virtuous Kernel doesnt work at all for me while using TWRP.

Moved back to CWM Touch :-/
[HTC One S] Orical:
Radio should only be done through fastboot, that's not something you should take chances with. In the past I was use too renaming the zip and puting it on the root of sd and rebooting into hboot and it would auto detect the radio image and install it that way (mytouch 4g days) but there was no question whether or not it was right.
[HTC One S] v3n3:
No, i didnt flash radio.

I was just constantly having problems wih everything after flashing this.
[HTC One S] philliman:
I get this whenever I try to check for 2.2.2 recovery. Any idea? Thx
[HTC One S] eyeballer:
Goo is currently down.. You can flash it manually by following instructions from our website.
[HTC One S] disiz:
This recovery seems good, but I'm a noob with this one then I've some questions.

I've already a recovery on my one S, CWM, can I flash twrp normally or should I delete CWM by some way to avoid some incompatibilities or other ? :)

I've flash one Custom ROM but still in stock kernel I guess, then it seem I won't have problems as some others users ?

And can you confirm we can charge phone even when it's off, because that precisely why I'm changin from CWM ? :)

Thanks
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
About to flash latest TWRP.
[HTC One S] Lodberg:
You can flash twrp normally even if you have cwm installed already - I just did it myself.
[HTC One S] dorezen:
so cwm and twrp can both exist on the phone without conflict?
[HTC One S] Habarug:
No, it will overwrite ;) I don't see any reason to switch to TWRP, though, it just is way better
[HTC One S] dorezen:
you mean cwm is way better? having to fastboot then load recovery is annoying for cwm but not a deal breaker since i'm already used to it.
[HTC One S] Habarug:
Wops, that was wrong, I meant no reason not to switch :P Just switch to TWRP, it mounts usb (which CWM didn't) and even though flashing boot doesn't work for me, it has a very convenient methode to reboot to bootloader ;)
[HTC One S] disiz:
OK thanks Habarug for your answers, I'm going to flash right now, and personally I'm switching because with CWM we can't charge phone when he's off, but it seem possible with this TWRP :)
[HTC One S] dr_rick13:
any ideas/reasons why the TWRP v2.2.0 does not have the wipe battery stats in the 'wipe' option? while someone else told me that option WAS available in v2.1.8... thanks

[HTC One S] Phantom Pt. II:
Going from a Sense rom to a AOSP based rom, I still need to flash boot.img in fastboot..?

Installed this recovery because I understood it would just flash without needing to flash using fastboot.
[HTC One S] Opentang:
Never hurts to flash boot.img via fastboot, results seem different for all users using recovery..
[HTC One S] Phantom Pt. II:
Yeah, just don't have the computer atm that often. Is this ever going to be fixed, or will we permanently have to keep using fastboot to flash the boot.img?
[HTC One S] Opentang:
I am hopeful that S-OFF will be achieved :-)
[HTC One S] invasion2:
Do you think you guys can implement a feature? I would like that when you backup, the ROM name will be the name of the backup, along with the date, like 4EXT. Thanks!
[HTC One S] invasion2:
Just realized in 2.2.0 you can set the backup name. Nevermind the request from me personally, this is good enough!
[HTC One S] TramainM:
Im using twrp 1.8 and everytime i hit the install button it freezes it just started happening and i have no rom installed right now and i cant flash anything

edit: Just flashed CWM and it seems to be doing the same thing is an a sd card problem?
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
I have to say, I resisted installing this for the longest time. As a cwr guy, it just looked weird. Finally, I took the plunge, installed via goo manager and wow... Just clearing cache and fixing permissions has this phone flying... It's almost like cwr doesn't work right on this phone... We know it can't flash boot.img but maybe it can't even do the basics right. Tweets to Koush go ignored... Thanks Team Win for supporting this device properly!
[HTC One S] Samugai:
Great work on this guys, looking to install it now but i have one question. Will my back ups from Titanium Backups still work? Not sure if this will affect TB at all but I wanted to be sure because I have apps from factory default uninstalled via TB. Thanks.

EDIT: Tried it anyways and got it all figured out.

[HTC One S] da900:
Just updated my One S to the latest 4.0.4 official. OTA updated hboot and radio. After that I flashed this recovery via fastboot (bootloader is unlocked, ofcause). But seems like twrp now can't flash boot images. I needed to flash boot.img via fastboot to make cm10 boot normally. Does anyone have the same problems? And is there a fix for this?
[HTC One S] eyeballer:
The fix is quite simple.. DON'T TAKE OTAS! Never EVER update your hboot unless you know exactly what the consequences are.

Seems HTC decided that we are not allowed to flash to /boot from recovery and so it's blocked with the new hboot. Until someone finds a way to downgrade or S-OFF you're pretty much stuck. You'll need to use our HTC Dumlock workaround, fastboot the boot.img or an app like flash image gui if it's supported for your device.
[HTC One S] frettfreak:
hey eyeballer, hoping you can help me out here. Been using twrp on this phone and others for quite a while. Also want to point out that i have been on this version since it came out and havent had any issues.

All the sudden today, i go to install a different rom and my one s got stuck on the main TWRP screen (the logo that flies up). Obviously cant do a battery pull so when i got home i just adb reboot system and no probelm. However, any time i go into recovery now the same thing happens and i have to adb reboot again. Even if i try to adb reboot recovery, still no dice.

THings i have tried already...

reinstall TWRP with goo manager

reinstall TWRP using fastboot

I am no expert by any stretch but i know my way around a command prompt. ANY help would really be appreciated. Thanks so much
[HTC One S] eyeballer:
Updated to v2.2.1 - various bugfixes and HTC Dumlock support now built in for latest hboots that don't support flashing to /boot.

Just install via goo manager or fastboot over the previous.
[HTC One S] frettfreak:
I was really hoping this fixed my issues above but no dice still (goo or fastboot)
[HTC One S] frettfreak:
just to make sure it wasnt my phone, cloworkmod installs and works as it should.

Any ideas? I would MUCH rather be using TWRP.
[HTC One S] xxquicksh0txx:
never has happened to me, redownload and flash it again. May have been a bad download?

Also, power + volume down for around 10 seconds should force reboot your phone from any state.
[HTC One S] Pheroh:
Just to be clear, do I need to use the dumlock for flashing new roms? or is it just optional? I've read on your website that it strains the boot partition and I am perfectly fine with flashing kernels via fastboot rather than risking anything. I already flash all my kernels in fastboot because I have HBOOT 1.13 and TWRP just cannot flash them anyway.
[HTC One S] frettfreak:
Have downloaded multiple times through all possible ways. :(

THANKS for the tip!! Didnt know that!!! thats awesome to know! :highfive:
[HTC One S] eyeballer:
You don't have to do anything. Fastboot works. Dumlock is just a way to flash everything in recovery at once. Also the strain on the boot partition is just a disclaimer, no worse than you flashing a bunch of roms to test them out anyway.
[HTC One S] Gaba90:
Flashing the new Radio via The Dumlock mode should work right ? Anyone tried yet ? Because if i Flash it normally the baseband wont change

edit: it doesnt work for me. any other way to get the radio flashed besides the supercid method?

this is weird flashing TWRP doesn't work with USB 3.0 ports

i hope things like this would get updated so it wont cause bricking

ok this is weird i thought TWRP would replace CWM but instead it replaced the CM10

if i let the phone boot i would go to TWRP if i hold the volume up it would go to CWM !?!?!

after flashing cm10 on TWRP it disappeared and only CWM is available after reboot

and now pressing volume up doesn't let me go to recovery at all

i have to go through cm10 first
