Next time try to explain yourself a little bit better. You said you want and can't install recovery, as I saw you already had it installed but you cannot acces it, there's a difference.

Stuck in boot screen

I unlocked my bootloader, installed custom recovery and rooted my phone so that I can install custom ROMS.
However, when I install a custom rom phone does not boot. It will get stuck on the HTC logo screen. I tried Android Revolution, InsertCoin and SkyDragon roms with same result.
I also tried to flash boot.img via fastboot with no joy.
I have S-ON (I tried to turn S-off but that attempt failed as well)
Can somebody please help me before I bust this phone up?

I know this definitely happens with Android Revolution, but if you leave it alone for long enough, it will boot. I am running SkyDragon now, and it seems to work just fine. Even though I am S-Off'd, it should still work for you since you have an unlocked bootloader. Can you post a screenshot of your phone in bootloader mode?

It might be because of your firmware. Do you happen to be on Verizon?

You are right. I just found out that I was not waiting long enough for it to boot. However, everytime I restart the phone it takes almost 10 minutes for phone to boot but I shut it down and start, it would start.
Now, I dont cannot get root on SkyDragon. SuperSU says "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?" I would hit continue and hit "normal". I get "Installation Failed! Please reboot and try again" error message....Ugh this has been very frustrating...

I had the EXACT same thing happen. How I resolved the SuperSU problem: flash the SuperSU 1.94 zip in recovery. How I solved the slow as hell boot problem: go to Settings > Power and disable Fast Boot. Good luck!

Excellent! Flashing the SuperSU has resolved the root issue. Thank you!!
But the slow boot is still there even though I unchecked fast boot.

I had the same problem.. what fixed it for me was getting on my stock ROM and doing HTC's OTA update to 4.4.3. This updates your firmware and make it compatible with newer firmware ROMs (such as Android Revolution) To do the OTa if you don't know how I recommend restoring a stock nandroid , flash the stock recovery and you should be ggod to go.

I checked to see if there is an OTA update before I flashed a custom ROM and there was none. Can I just flash a stock rom with an updated firmware? If so where can I find the latest firmware?

Flash this file (unrar before) via odin, (i used 3.09).
Open Kingo Root, it should say already rooted. Click Root Again. it will install Super SU 2.02. Update binarywith Normal method.
Don't update Super SU via Google Play it will failed,
I rooted my phone yesterday.
Good Luck

So, did you make it ?

I've Rooted my Samsung Galaxy Grand Plus GT-I9060I (single sim)
Baseband: I9060IXXY0ANL6
Kernel: 3.10.17-255453
build number: KTU84P.I9060IXXU0AOA8
used the boot.img from this thread
ran kingo root
problems are:
disables the rotation sensor (cant want videos sideways)
on boot root triangle is shown(haven't tried root triangle go away yet (but disappears when you flash stock rom)
cant update SuperSu binary (manually, automatically, Superuser version fails too)
We still need CWM if anyone could help me I've setup Ubuntu (dual boot) and already made a custom rom with root using android kitchen but cannot flash it as need Recovery (odin cant execute the on flash scripts that the android kitchen compiles with the roms)

My sensor is not workng too, but i don0t care much about that. I haven't triangle, just red exclamation mark when device start to boot. Super Su can't update too. Everything else is OK. Device is rooted and i removed stupid apps. CWM still needed as you said.

You will do , you can NOT flash stock with TWRP , TWRP has only just been fixed to manage flashing linoOS
,.184 M had better battery imo

You are not bothering me.

You know perfectly what to do.

Or you can unroot ,flash back stock recovery and You can upgrade to M easily providing your phone has not been tampered with , meaning , you are not rooted no more and have stock recovery .
If you have above and you can factory reset in settings , then , simply download M firmware from asus.
Put on external SD .
It should read something like this
UL-WW-4.21.40.134-user.zip
Or .144 or .184 or .223-user.zip .
When downloaded and inserted into phone , open Asus file manager and edit the file and save > eg.
UL-WW-4.21.40.134-user.zip.zip
Eg , put an extra .zip on the end of file , save , then reboot phone .
Side note , you may get ota to M , depending how you unlocked bootloader in LP
pps hit the thanks button for me unravelling your confusion in this thread
.com twaddle ppps ,
If you put ASUS fw 52.20.40.196 on ext sd same as above too , you can downgrade , upgrade go fishing and never brick .
Extra dimensional twaddle ...
Each time you downgrade or upgrade , your bootloader is re-locked
All info of this downgrade/upgrade process is in my signature and has been there for some time
Each time someone else is confused about updating I will refer them to this post
