Titanium backup saying I'm not rooted...

...but I am. I unlocked bootloader and rooted a few days ago, now I flash jmz's CM9 on CWM and it took fine. I DL TB and it tells me I'm not rooted. Whhaaa? Furthermore, I go to flash boot.img in fastboot and I get this:
c:\fastboot>fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (3426 KB)...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: -0.000s
Coming from the Optimus V I've never had to deal with flashing boot.img separately. What am I missing here?

Check the superuser app, maybe you have denied the root access by mistake. Other root apps are working fine?
For now we can not S-Off HTC One V thus this does not allow to flash the kernel (boot.img) using CWM and we need to do it via fastboot. However I have no idea why it does not allow to flash the boot.img

After rooting, SuperSU was installed, then when I flashed from stock to CM9, I noticed it was replaced by Superuser. I didn't deny by mistake... it wouldn't even allow me the chance to, when I tried to open TB it simply stated I wasn't rooted and that Superuser denied it. I went back into recovery and restored, then used TB just fine on stock. For fun, I went into fastboot and tried to flash TWRP recovery and I still couldn't flash anything. Super weird... I had no problems doing it before when unlocking, installing CWM, and rooting.

Hey rad, thanks, I'll try that out. Is it really a big deal if I don't flash that separate boot.img in fastboot after flashing that CM9 build through CWM if my phone seems to be acting fine? I'm still kind've confused as to why I can't flash anything in fastboot all of the sudden.
UPDATE: WORKED... thank you so much. I'm stoked right now!

Oh, ha, yeah, THAT little thing. Well hmm then, guess I'll have to figure that one out. Have any idea why I'm not able to flash it?

Flash failing tried everything.

Hi all,
I hope someone can help as I am at my wits and sanity's end.
I am trying to install twrp into my phone to make a factory backup before rooting. I have unlocked the boot loader via htcdev all OK, I have followed the guide online to install twrp but it just will not work, I have tried various methods and every one of them failed. ADB and fastboot are installed OK, when I type "fastboot devices" it shows the phone and serial number, HTC sync is installed and updated, SDK is installed, everything the guide said to do I have done but it just won't flash. Error when I try to flash twrp every time. It is the latest version etc (I think) the twrp image is in the adb/fastboot folder and the cmd was opened from the folder.
I really don't know what I am doing wrong, can anyone please advise?
Thanks in advance
Gary Nixon

are you in bootloader or download mode, you have to be in download mode, what command are you typing to flash recovery.
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img

Yep download mode black screen and that command

i have installed java SE development kit 7 and java 8 update 66 as per the guide
Do i need an SD card in the phone for this as i just saw this mentioned but it wasnt on the guide i was using?

hmmm, not sure on that one, put one in and see

I think i may know the problem - S-ON - would this prevent anything being flashed?

Have you tried re-downloading TWRP to make sure it isn't a corrupted download?

no, if your bootloader is unlocked you don't need to be s-off to flash recovery. Are you flashing the correct twrp for your phone

its cool i got it to work, next question how do i get the custom rom zip file into the phone

download it, connect tehphone to pc, move the rom zip to either extsd or internal sd, boot to recovery select the zip and flash.don't forget to make a backup, and to wipe dalvik cache, cache, system,and data,under advanced wipe. nothing else then install the rom
what was causing the problem before, that you couldn't get recovery to flash, just curious

tbh i actually used the m9 toolkit by Squabbi - did it in 5 minutes
donation on the way

Problems updating TWRP

I tried to update my TWRP because the touch screen in Aroma installers isnt working. The update failed and now I don't have a recovery. What should I do?

Not nearly enough detail for any of us to help.
What is your current version TWRP?
What TWRP version did you try to update to?
How did you try to update it (fastboot, app, etc)?
Any specific error messages on failure?
Current software and firmware versions?
Hboot number?
Do a fastboot getvar all, and post the output being sure to delete IMEI and serial number)
Bootloader unlocked?

If You have root, try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager

I have a sprint htc one m8 rooted, running Marshmallow Google play edition. I tried to flash the 3 most recent updates and it gave me an error saying I might already have it installed or something went wrong. At the moment I don't have a recovery because the app deleted it. So when I try to go into recovery it never starts and I have to restart the phone. I tried flashing them via fastboot and it says it was successful but it didn't actually work.

You try to install recovery by fastboot?

Yea it was successful but when I try to reboot into recovery in never does.

Try fastboot erase cache, and fastboot flash TWRP again. This alone clears up a lot of issues with TWRP not flashing properly.
What version TWRP did you try?
Difficult to help, since you failed to provide hardly any of the info I requested.

Or use RUU, and try again.

Try to wipe cache again, and install TWRP 3.0.0.0. The version 3.0.0.1 is really new, so maybe there are some issues.

I believe it is another issue...

I've tried with all the images below:
twrp-2.7.0.1-m8
twrp-2.7.0.2-m8
twrp-2.8.5.0-m8
and the problem is the same... after upload the recover image, I select RECOVERY in my phone but nothing happen

You might want to give HTC-fastboot.exe a try. I've had troubles flashing the recovery as well with the standard ADB toolset.
You should be ablo to find the HTC fastboot utility somewhere around here

Pretty sure TWRMP version 2.7 are known to cause problems with Android 5 or later; and not booting into recovery is the known result. TWRP 2.8.5 might be okay, but I'm not sure. I'd try 2.8.7 or (as I already mentioned) 3.0.0.0.

I tried almost everything, now I will try via Linux.
because via adb I did not get hit "device not found" (tried all drives and nothing happened) only via fastboot I got connection. I believe I first need to remove the S-ON.

"I tried everything" doesn't tell us what you actually did or did not do.

Doesn't matter, since fastboot is what you need for installing TWRP.

Why do you think that? Folks always jump to the conclusion that s-off is the magical answer to all their problems. S-off doesn't have any bearing on the ability to install custom recovery, or whether you can connect to adb or not.
Waste $25 is you want (as sunshine is the only working s-off method), but it won't solve your problem.

Yes, I tryed 2.8.7 and 3.0.0, but dosen't work. After select RECOVEY , the phone vibrates and nothing happens, forcing a physical reboot it gets stuck on the HTC home screen.

Do fastboot getvar all, and post the output (delete IMEI and serial number before posting) so we can see more info about the device.
Something else is going on here.

Unlocked m8 root issues

What's going on.
Infinitytrinity here, New to the site but not New to android.
I'm having an issue with my unlocked Verizon HTC one m8 that I'm using on T-Mobile. I've already paid sunshine to s off me and unlock my bootloader, but I can't for the life of me get twrp or cwm to flash. Via recovery I get the signature verification error and via windroid toolkit it says it does it but even after clearing cache its not there. I'm at a loss in the moment.... Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks

Make sure you are using a recent version TWRP (newest is 3.0.2-0). Older TWRP versions won't work on newer firmware, and CWM for this device hasn't been updated in ages.
You've confirmed on the bootloader screen it says UNLOCKED?

Ya positive....
Tried it and got a can't find recovery partition error....
I have a hunch....if I throw it at approximately 88 Miles an hour maybe we can go back and slap the guy who designed verizon's software lol

What are you trying to flash (file name, where you got it from) and how exactly (each step, in detail) are you trying to do this?
The fastboot method is most reliable. fastboot erase cache, and use the fastboot install method:
