Hello,
I'm fairly new to Android modding and whatnot, and I managed to root my Verizon HTC One. However, I am looking to install stock android on it to make it a google play edition. I've read that I need a custom recovery like TWRP or something. Can someone point me into the right direction on how to get stock android on my verizon htc one? Thanks!

Just get on a custom recovery and then flash a ROM that is based on GPE, I think we have two available.

Android Stock and Google Play Edition are a bit different so you will have to do some research and decide what ROM you want to go with.
For our device we have 2 recovery options, TWRP and Clockwork. Both can be found in the Origional Android Development forum:

I am not going to say one is better than the other. I use TWRP, but mostly because I am use to it from other devices.
Download TWRP to the external sd , the download flashify from the Google play store, select flash recovery, then browse to the file you downloaded to the externalSD. Easy as pie

Not sure how you got flashify to work but the HTC one isn't supported. The dev told me he doesn't own the phone so it's not likely to ever work.

I just used flashify to install TWRP 2.6.3.3 less then a minute time.
Try this option. xda-developers - View Single Post - [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.6.3.3 touch recovery http://bit.ly/I2mP0P
Type: su
After that, cd to the location of the .img file: (i.e. if it was on the root of the sd card then...)
cd /sdcard/
Finally, flash the image to the recovery partition:
dd if=recovery-xxx.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p34
Here's the best place to start looking for answers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44905464
If coming from ios, realize there are a lot more people involved in the rom/themeing process so be more patient.
However, above all remember to search first. Probably 90% of whatever you are looking for has already been asked, so save yourself the heartache and try searching first.
After that, there are tons of people here to help you if the above tips don't work. Just understand that you have to put a little effort on your part first if you have an issue, that way it makes it easier for others to help troubleshoot.
Good luck and welcome to the community!

I followed the directions from a few posts above.
First, download android terminal emulator from play store.
Second, move the recovery file to the root of sdcard, noting the filename. (in my screenshot, the file is named the same as yours openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7vzw )
Open terminal emulator. In first window, type in "su" without quotations in the command line and hit enter. Wait for the popup to allow root access and allow it. On the returned command line, type in "cd /sdcard/" without quotations and hit enter. The returned command line should say something like "[email protected]:/sdcard"
Type the command "dd if=openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7vzw.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p34" without quotations and hit enter.
Should look something like this:

It is live and supported. Touch recovery will not happen from koush. He will not support mdpi devices, but I know someone else that will. And that will be coming shortly
I got it. Heck yeah touch recovery.
Already done backup
Seems a little glitchy. When using go back option sometimes just shows cwm emblem. Had to pull battery. I'm impatient. Think I waited long enough.

He was saying that to my comment about one in the works. But I do have a completely unsupported touch recovery by koush if people want it. It is sized in ldpi so its huge on the screen. My opinion it looks like crap.

I got the official cwm recovery. Flashed it through the clockworkmod app. It seemed glitchy at first, but after a couple of reboots everything is fine. I wish I had touch recovery can't wait to try that

yes, but it is oversized. He will not support it or anything else. I didn't know he actually posted it. I was just about to post the same version. Also, ADB is broken in recovery with that.

That's wierd. I am using that recovery and have flashed many many zips. Like at 10 a day. Can you do me a favor? Flash it again and try to repeat it. When it locks up again, run this command.

ive noticed when i try to reboot with adb it will reboot into recovery. If i wanted that I would of typed adb reboot recovery this a feature or a bug. Also when I turn on USB Mass Storage, it will corrupt what i send over, leading me back to adb. I basically use adb for everything but selecting the zip on recovery, no matter how good. Great work on it Jmz, its a pretty solid recovery, touch buttons work, and the kernel inside is also a great aosp kernel. Actually starts off overclocked, if im correct.

It is weird. I just wiped data and cache partition like I normally do when flashing rom's. Chose install zip and it said finding, then opening. I got it to installing once, but it would reboot stuck on splash screen. I need my phone pretty bad, so I loaded alquez on my sdcard and flashed it. Real comfy now
Not much experience, so should I do this via usb and computer or terminal emulator. TE says adb command not found

First...this should be in the Q&A or General thread.
Second, in either the Q&A or General thread I believe there was a thread not long ago about how to install CWM straight from the phone, so you might do a little searching to find that one. I don't have the link to it, but it wasn't long ago, so it shouldn't be hard to find.
Okay. If someone can move the thread to proper forums that would be awesome. Sorry about putting in wrong section.

I'm not sure I know what you want or need. Why don't you just download it from the play store?
yes it is much easier to go to the play store download rom manager and install it through the app its also a nice app to have as i still haven't found a way to rename backups other than using the app as the recovery names them wrong in the current version. Also when it comes to the Tough version IDK if you can do that with the free app i never tried never interested me i just figured its something more to go wrong.
You can't get touch with the free app...i had it somehow... i forget what aop it how I got it... but it was touch... that's what I want...I go back and fourth just cause you can name your backups with twrp... ...thanks for trying...
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
if you want touch what about TWRP? its touch and can be installed free with goomanager? the only other way I know of to install custom recovery i think is with ADB
Download the .IMG file

I assume you used fastboot to get S off? all you have to do is go into fast boot and type fastboot flash recovery "name of file.img"
make sure your device shows up when typing fastboot devices
as someone who is new to fastboot and all that, flashify is without a doubt the easiest way.
1. download the img
2. send it to device (or download staright from your phone)
3. flashify, then browse to the file
4. flash.
BAM. less than 30 seconds as said above. did this yesterday.
