[Verizon HTC One (M7)] IceDragon59:
The Verizon variant of TWRP doesn't have GooManager support yet. You downloaded the wrong recovery. You need to download the image file in the OP, then fastboot flash it like it says.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 71CH:
Right. What I'm saying is when I try to fastboot flash TWRP in recovery the screen goes black.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] IceDragon59:
You're contradicting yourself. You can't fastboot flash anything while you're in recovery. You have to be in fastboot. TWRP is the new recovery.

Here's a detailed list of instructions:

Set up ADB.

Download this file to your computer.

Copy the file to your ADB folder.

Rename it to "recovery.img", no quotes.

Open a command prompt as Administrator.

Navigate to your ADB folder.

Plug your phone in.

Type this in the command prompt:

adb reboot bootloader

Now, type this:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

It's probably a good idea to run the fastboot flash command three times, to make sure it sticks.

Now, using the Volume keys and the Power button, navigate to Recovery.

Enjoy.

If this doesn't work, you don't have ADB set up properly, or there's something seriously wrong with your device. Failing that, it might be a PEBKAC.

Anyone have any idea why I keep getting this error? Or any way to troubleshoot it?

error: cannot load 'filename' : Unknown error

idk what else to do *sad face*
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
is your boot loader unlocked?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] K-OtiK:
I should've specified. Yeah I just did the new S-Off and I'm having a terrible time with recovery
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Rain__:
Can you explain where you are getting this error? Are you trying to flash the recovery? If so, copy the .img file into the same directory you are executing fastboot and then run the following command:

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7vzw.img
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] K-OtiK:
I believe I did that. I have all the files I believe I need on the desktop? Is that my problem?

That's exactly the command I used also
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
Ok this was written before the new s-off method, so I just have a silly question. Forgive me as it's been a while, I switched to Apple for a bit. I did the S-off successfully, so I am now unlocked and s-off, but I am not yet rooted, right?

So do I need to follow the root instructions and flash it in the recovery? Thanks in advance.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] K-OtiK:
You should have root, best idea is you should download a root checker from the Play Store to confirm
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] exzacklyright:
Why do people prefer TWRP over CWM?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Rain__:
This is correct.

Not sure then. If you "fastboot devices" does it list your device (long string of #'s and letters). I'd give it another shot. That specific error message suggests that you're not passing fastboot the correct path to the .img file. In the directory you are executing fastboot from, if you type:

dir openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7vzw.img

and hit enter, does it say "File not found" or stats about the file? (Note: I'm assuming you're on Windows, if you're on OS X or *nix, use "ls openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7vzw.img" instead)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
I am having the same exact error you are, and I have the files on my desktop too. I used the "minimal adb and fastboot" found on these forums, basically it just installs adb and fastboot, it doesn't install all the android sdk stuff, but I'm just learning how to do this all over again, I went to iPhones for a while so i'm REALLY rusty and basically a noob all over again. :/

I'm putting the phone in fastboot, and on my computer opening the "minimal adb and fastboot" and a black cmd box comes up and it's directed to the minimal adb and fastboot and I'm entering the command and getting the error message.

Should I not open the 'minimal adb and fastboot' and just open either the 'adb' or 'fastboot' on my computer? If that makes any sense?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Rain__:
So you're opening opening "minimal adb and fastboot", yet the .img file is on your desktop? Two things to try, both will work:

1.

fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\USERNAME\Desktop\openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7vzw.img

Where USERNAME is your Windows login name (Use tab completion to make things faster and to make sure you don't miss type); Everything is CaSe SenSitIvE).

2.

Locate where "minimal adb and fastboot" is installed to, find the "fastboot.exe" executable file. Copy the .img file into that same directory and use the command I posted above.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
You're awesome. Thanks!

If anyone else has my problem, I did option 1.

---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

One more question... when I do a backup of my stock there are several options in TWRP but only 3 are selected.

Selected:

Boot (16MB)

Data (1098MB)

System (1702MB)

Unselected:

Cache (12MB)

Recovery (15MB)

Should I select those 2 or no?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Rain__:
Cache and Recovery are not necessary. In fact, I'd recommend against it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jski711:
nevermind. figured it out. thanks!!!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] K-OtiK:
Sorry I was working on my buddies car, I'm done now.

I did the first one as well! I'm golden, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sheldor1967:
Thanks sooooo much! I was having the same problem! Fixed!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] calash:
For me TWRP was the first Touch based recovery for my previous devices. It also tied in very well with Goo.im for keeping my rom up to date. Since then I have grown accustom to the interface and now prefer it for navigation.

TWRP was also used as the backbone for Hashcode's Safestrap, allowing easy switching between several different Roms on the Droid 3. The large buttons made this function easy as well.

Both are very good and I do not think one is superior to the other outside of personal preference and development for the device in question.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jpradley:
Flash tells me that is has successfully installed the twrp recovery image.

But it isn't working. If I boot into recovery, I get the screen telling me that recovery is starting up, but after about ten seconds, the screen goes black and it starts all over again, repeatedly.

I can stop the looping by holding the volume-down button when the screen is black, then I can reboot into the bootloader and get back control of the phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Rain__:
Sounds like a corrupted download. Use the mirror link and make sure the MD5 checksum of the file you downloaded matches the MD5 checksum listed on the download page. (Google for an MD5 file checksum tool if you don't have one)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jpradley:
There was an md5 mismatch, but that was because I had downloaded

openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7.img

instead of I what I really needed, namely

openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7vzw.img

All's well now, thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] steddora:
Played with the idea for a bit, found IceDragons black themed one, love it.

Flashing was easy...

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery twrprecovery.img

fastboot reboot (testing a boot second nature since being an S2 Flashaholic)

finally, and adb reboot recover

Got me a nice backup and ready to flash some roms on this puppy.

Thanks guys!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] sanders539:
It's always a good practice to put any files you will use through adb and fast boot in the same folder/directory your adb and fast boot are in. It keeps everything together, less chance of losing files, and you don't have to type the full file path.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] exzacklyright:
Any idea why flashing /system/ is not including with (data,cache,dalvik)?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xenakis:
Select restore and select the backup you wish to rename. You'll see an option to rename the backup instead of restoring.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] steddora:
Quick "noob to twrp" question. The backup method in the recovery is the same as a nandroid right? If I restore it, I'll be exactly where I was when I performed the backup?

Sent from my One in Blue!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] lancasterv3:
yep just restore the backup and your good to go.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
Feel free to edit the name from your phone, CPU, whatever after the nandroid has been made.

just make sure you don't have any spaces, most people do this Andy_Bones, if they want a space instead of Andy Bones.

There are other things to watch out for I'm sure you can find on Google but that is a main one. Unless it's been fixed, I honestly don't know.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mlin:
Because that would leave you with no ROM installed. I think many updater scripts include a command to wipe system prior to flashing.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] winston856:
I couldn't find this question answered: Where are the nandroid backups located? I have two that I don't need anymore taking up space. I'm unable to find them anywhere I've looked. There's a TWRP folder that's basically empty and it's not under /data anywhere that I can find.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] calash:
Mine are under TWRP\BACKUPS

Had to dig a directory or two down from there.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] winston856:
The only file in that folder for me is a .twrps that's 1.24KB in size. That's where I thought they'd be but they don't exist. If I reboot into the recovery and select "restore" I can see the two nandroids there.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] replica9000:
Should be under /data/media
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] winston856:
Thanks for the help, I found out you can delete them in TWRP recovery itself so I did it there. They weren't under /data/media either :/

hey what are the commands to flash this recovery in adb in fast boot ?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jpradley:
You're a bit lazy in your searching, as the command has been cited may times

in this Forum

One the recovery is in the same directory as the fastboot comand, cd to that directory and type "fastboot recovery imagename.img"

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Flyhalf205:
Made a small update to TWRP. When you turn off phone or plug it into chage when off. For a few seconds it will show the percentage of the battery. This percentage will only be displayed for first few seconds only.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] aer0zer0:
i was one of the people who couldnt get TWRP to fklash for the life of me, kept going into bootloop back to HBOOT. The answer is to use flashify...IT works :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] coldconfession13:
Updates? And too support?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Flyhalf205:
This doesn't get updated as often as TWRP. Less people and less behind the scenes action going on... You can check the TWRP latest commits to their git. https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/commits/twrp2.7
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] coldconfession13:
I'll try to learn how to build it
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] d11dog11:
Does that mean you are going to try to port 2.6.3.2? If so, thanks. I think we will need it to flash 4.4 roms when they are built.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xx_bishop_xx:
Probably pretty pathetic; but, looking for some guidance. After flashing the TWRP recovery image, I flashed the ClockworkMOD Superuser in recovery. I've decided to install the ChainsDD Superuser from the market. Of course now I have both SU apps, and I was hoping to receive help on how to uninstall/remove the ClockworkMOD app that was flashed in recovery, if it's possible. Thank you.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
I understand his lazyness is bad, but no need for this. Rooting is crazy to some, when I switched from HTC to Samsung even after the HTC Eris, Inc1, Inc2, Rezound, and Inc4g all doing mod and theme and learning android the entire time, I found it strange, and wanted to make sure I did things correct as I didn't want to play around with "ODIN"

it's a UI based program, but in a sense it's like an RUU, it recovers your phone.. Sometimes questions get asked, and once you look back you realize how easy it would have been to search.

your command isn't right though. I don't so anyway, I apologize if I am wrong, but shouldn't it be

"fastboot [COLOR="Red"]flash[/COLOR] recovery recovery-name-of-file.img"

not

"fastboot recovery recovery-name-of-file.img"

if your way works just learned something new and an easier way to fastboot flash things.

but pretty sure you need the flash. :)

Not like this command could hurt his phone,

---------------------------------

unless of coarse he goofs and does say :

that I don't wish on anyone

fashboot flash [B][COLOR="Red"]boot[/COLOR][/B] [COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]recovery_[/COLOR]4.0.3.2.img

when it should be

fashboot flash [B][COLOR="Red"]boot[/COLOR][/B] [COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]boot_[/COLOR]4.0.3.2.img

or

fashboot flash [B][COLOR="Red"]recovery[/COLOR][/B] [COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]recovery_[/COLOR]4.0.3.2.img

you MUST be flashing to the correct spot.

Recovery, make sure is an actual recovery, people are nasty out there, MD5 check on flashes like this, and only flash from trusted members

same with boot

Anyone ever notice that on slim bean (that's what I'm using but it probably does the same thing on most 10.2 roms) when you hold the clear recent apps buttons it clears all apps and requires super user permission. What's the difference between just pressing the clear button and holding it? What's the permission for?

I never used Slim, but CM doesn't have the function (CM has the clear-all function on the right-up corner of Recent Apps screen).

Guys, i was follow a spanish s4 forum, cause' i got a problem with my S4.

I was looking for the best rom for S4, at what I found the Omega ROM. Excellent rom very stable and fast. Days passed and I was without service, could not call, and I can only do "emergency calls". I've tried everything, I've tried many ROMS both modified and original genuine Samsung, in my country and even my current carrier and get nothing, "Emergency calls only".

Important

* The IMEI of the box, the IMEI under the battery is the same when I press * # 06 #, therefore I have no IMEI problems.

** When I restart the phone, under the tab, and my operator name appears, only those 5 seconds I have signal, then the message "Emergency calls only"

Now I have this ROM *** Final Evolution (issued from HTCMania):

******* Android Version 4.2.2

******* Baseband Version: I9505VJUAMDE

******* Kernel Version: 3.4.55-Google-Edition ausdim @ dk # 13

******* State SELinux: Permissive (no idea what this is).

At this minute I get a gray screen with Yellow letters delivered me a description as shown in the attached image. Basically get:

PDA: I9505XXUBMGA

Phone: I9505VJUAMDE

CSC: I9505OXXBMG3

I've done everything to try to get my S4 subject so I'm willing to fix my problem

Does anyone have any idea what to do?

Do I have something wrong with the phone? Should be the same or equal semi stands for PDA, Phone and CSC?

I'm from Chile and sorry for the English caveman.

I will be grateful for your help!!

Thank you!

I'm running PAC-Man ROM and am thankful for the settings that allow me to use gestures (when the S Pen's button is held) but it's a huge pain to have to hold the button for these gestures. The button on the pen is too low on the pen for my liking when I'm trying to use it as a pointing device/extension of my hand.

A couple of ideas I have had:

-the input settings that I described earlier

-the Sidebar application. I would love it if I could access shortcuts through Sidebar that emulate the back and menu keys but unfortunately the only button that can be emulated is the home key! :(

-CM S Pen Add-on used in conjunction with Note Buddy. I like the idea here, but I'd like to know if there's a way to automatically activate the AOSP on-screen buttons when I detach the S-Pen, but Note Buddy doesn't seem to support any extensions. :(

Are there any other solutions you guys have come up with that allow me to use my Note in a practical way with ONLY the S-Pen? That means I don't want to have to take any fingers off of the pen or have to lift my other hand to press the menu and back buttons.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] djben75:

Are you referring to the "Expand desktop" option under Custom ROM Actions? That option has a red circle next to it for me, meaning that it is not supported by my ROM. :'(

Which rom are you on? Is it featured in your rom?

If so, you need to turn on expanded desktop and reboot. You might also need to make secure settings a device administrator.
