After S off and all those goodies now I am trying to figure out how to add a Twrp or something so I can start roming

Hey it's pretty tricky I just started with this phone to I ended up using the command prompt on the computer through fastboot if you need more just let me know I know a lot of the responses I got were very very vague

Very easy now,get Flashify from the play store ,put your image in it and flash twrp. Less than 30 seconds.

People need to start searching the existing threads for questions already asked. This particular one is covered in about four different threads all explain how to do it very well.

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.

[RECOVERY] Official rom manager support for A510C

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.
Also would like to note jmz has his roms on there as do i. Its a good, central location now

Point taken. Hosting Roms like my team does makes it a lot easier. Just a build.prop line away. Probably won't use it unless asked though

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.
adb pull /tmp/recovery.log
And post that file here.

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.

[Q] Custom Recovery Help

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:

Issue backing up and restoring....

I updated to the new cwm the other day and attempted to download and install vanir 4.3. The Backup froze midway so I restarted the phone. It Still operates on my cm11 rom but I can't back up or re store anything. I'm not quite sure what to do Now, with my galaxy s4 i could Just Odin back to stock and start from scratch. Is there anything like that I can do to fix this?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Try to reflash the new recovery. If it still dosent work, flash back to the old recovery version and see if it works. Remember to do " fastboot erase cache " each time before fastboot flashing a recovery.
And yes you can "start over" like odin so to speak, its caled an ruu.
Yea so further testing and fix attempts have failed... When I run fastboot commands such as fastboot format system or anything to erase the cache it Just says failed every time. When I go in to the recovery it can't mount the system or anything. And now it is Just sticking at the HTC screen. Pretty sure it soft bricked (Thanks clock work mod). How would I go about this ruu?

Bottom of second post. You want the 2.10.605.1 signed ruu.
What do I do with that once I get it? It's listed there but it's the only one with No directions Lol....
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You need adb and fastboot setup on your pc. Put the zip file in the same folder with adb.exe and fastboot.exe. Rename it to something easy like ruu.zip. Then open a cmd prompt to where the files are located. Connect the phone and boot into the bootloader (hboot). Type in the cmd window
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Then do
Code:
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
It may fail and say something about flushing if so run the second cmd again. Once it shows done in the cmd window, type
Code:
fastboot reboot
You should then be complete stock JB. Do the initial setup and it will prompt you to take the KK ota.
Will i Still be s-off and unlocked once i finish this? Before the Ota of course
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes you will still be s-off and unlocked even after the ota. Remember that the ruu wipes all your data, so make sure to back up your sdcard contents to your pc, such as pics, downloads, backups, etc.

I'm unable to back anything up because I can't get the phone to boot past the HTC screen with the red text. It can't mount system, data, or cache. The only thing I can do is boot into fastboot or the CWM recovery that bricked my phone to begin with. Also, I'm attempting to download RUU from the link you posted, on a 20mbps connection but it says 4 hours to download. Do you know of any mirrors I could try? I can't seem to find any through google.
Not that i know of. I will make one, but its gonna take 20 or so to upload to the server.

Sorry to hear that. Download LG Flash tool 2014. (Find instructions on xda on how to use it... Super easy)
Enter this link followed by your imei at the end of the link with no spaces.(youll find it on your phones box)
smg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=
The link will look like an error message, but will include another link to your most current firmware kdz format, enter it, it will start the download.
Put the phone in download mode.
Take the kdz file put it in LG Flash tool 2014 and follow the on screen instructions. It should take 5 min.
