Hey guys, i just bought this HTC One, and it had CWM pre-installed.
I have downloaded GooManager, and Installed Recovery via "Install Open Recovery Script" inside the app.
However each time I boot into Recovery I keep getting CWM. What am i missing here? Please help! Thank you!
CWM pre-installed? Was it pre-owned as well? Don't flash through GooManager, I read that there is a compatibility issue with the new TWRP. Just download the TWRP img file, go into fastboot then plug in your USB cable. It should now say Fastboot USB. Type :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery xxxxxxxxx.img
<--- xxxxx is the file name of the TWRP image. You can just rename the file to twrp.img for easier typing
Then type :
Code:
fastboot erase cache
That's it

Hello Folks,
I'm still stuck with my nexus one since I don't care that much about phones.
I've seen that jelly bean roms have made a significant progress. Thus I decided to give it a shot.
I started with installing adb and fastboot. :good: After that I rooted the nexus one :good: I've used this how to:
c2med blog, can't post links...
Next, I ran blackrose. :good: I saved the rom on the micro sd. Having done all the preperations I wanted to flash the JB rom.
I started the phone in bootloader mode but - unfortunately - couldn't access the recovery mode (ext4). I only get the Android figure and an exclamation mark.
In the how-to it sais i should use fastboot to flash the recovery made by ext 4.
Problem # 1: Ext4 generated a .zip, not a .img file
Problem # 2: I connect the device in fastboot mode, navigate to the adb/fastboot folder and use ./fastboot devices. The phone is recognized and I see the serial number. Next I try "flash recovery...." but I only get "command not found". Now, I basically have no idea what to do.
Which recovery should I flash? And how?
I'm so looking forward to your answers.

What you get is the stock recovery.
Flash 4Ext recovery or Amon RA recovery ( fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img)
Among the several guides to install JB, I suggest you to look at the following post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804571
I just finished this morning the following process:
install RA recovery,
install Blackrose and resize partition,
install from SD card Evervolv-Perdo-3.2.0-Nightly-2013.01.13-passion.zip
install from SD card gapps-ev-jb-20120816.zip
I spent a lot of times reading and trying. I had an issue after installing Evervolv-perdo-3.1.0final-passion zip. That's why I switched to the Nightly (JB 4.2).
Once you are set install a2sd from within the terminal emulator on your N1.
In my opinion this is so far the best ROM I ever have had on my Nexus 1.:good:
I am impressed to the extend that I offer to my wife to do the same on her N1. She said no. No to unlock, no to root and of course no to custom ROM.
Good luck
Hi,
thanks for your reply. Thats basically what i did as well. But after using Blackrose i can't go into the recovery mode.
I used the same tutorial. The problem lies here:
"Note: some people have reported having problems getting into recovery at this point (if not move on to step 5). If that happens, luckily for you, 4ext put a recovery image in the downloads folder of your SD card and if you did what I said in step 2 you saved it. Try reflashing that recovery image using fastboot (remember the one that was in SD/Download/4EXT_Recovery_Touch/ and was named "recovery.img"). Put your phone into the bootloader by turning off your phone, turning it on again while holding the trackball down. To reflash the recovery open command prompt and cd to the location of the Android SDK tools. Then type in the following command (replacing "path" with the path to where the recovery image is located on your computer):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/recovery.img
If that does not solve your problems (inability to get into recovery) then I would recommend going back to the cyanogenmod wiki and installing Amon_Ra's recovery. Then you can use it to flash your installation zip."
It seems like I am unable to understand what I am supposed to do. Could somebody give me a step by step advice? I would prefer using some other recovery.img than mine...

It happened to me. I just re-flashed Amon RA recovery from the fastboot mode. Maybe somewhere you missed a step?

In other words open your folder android-sdk-windows installed on the root of your C: hd. Click on the folder platform-tools and download Amon RA recovery in this folder. Left click anywhere on a blank area of this folder then press the key Shift (keyboard) and right click your mouse. In the drop down menu select Open command window. In the CMD, to be sure that the N1 is recognized by the pc (meaning the right drivers are installed) type ADB devices and press enter. You should see a string of numbers like HT9C......
Type adb reboot bootloader and press enter. You are in the fastboot mode ( and mood if I may say so) and the phone shows that it is in the bootloader. You can check again that N1 is recognized by the pc by typing fastboot devices. Same string appears.
Type fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img.
After the installation is completed boot in recovery, select Flash zip from sdcard, select the ROM you have dropped on the card. When the installation is completed go back to Flash zip from sdcard ( you are still in recovery mode) and select the gapps you have dropped on the sdcard.
Go back to Reboot system now. You are then out of the recovery and it takes some times for the N1 to boot to this beautiful JB

As c2med posted in his guide, sometimes, people lose their recovery when they repartition using Black Rose. Hence, its always best to have Amon-RA or 4EXT flashable .img file in your PC so that incase you lose recovery, you can always flash it back.
Once you are in bootloader ( also called FASTBOOT mode) you can flash your recovery.
Then reboot into recovery from FASTBOOT (Shutdown and then restart using the recovery combination)
Once you are in recovery, follow the steps in c2med's guide (wipe cache/dalvik/etc - except sd-card ofcourse) and flash your ROM from sd card.
Then reboot into JayBee
In the screenshot you type:
$ ./fastboot devices
then you type:
$ flash recovery ......../recovery.img
Command not found.... Sure, flash it's not a command...
You need to type fastboot command first!
$ ./fastboot flash recovery ......../recovery.img

Thank You! That's what I figuered out last night. Of course I also tried "fastboot flash" but forgot the "./". That was the key. Now the JB ROM works like a charm.
New Problem:
I can't install google apps. In fact I don't really need them. I only use a few apps and found the .apk files with google. Unfortunately the "official" Google apps like chrome don't work.
Plus, I wanted to install the camera (laggy in the evervolv - rom) and keyboard from here.

When you're in recovery, select "Flash zip from SD card" and then select "Toggle signature verification" to disable signature verification, and then "Choose zip from SD card" and navigate to the zip file that you want to flash.

I assume that you have mini-sdk.
Download the twrp recovery for your phone and rename it recovery and place it in the fastboot folder.
Now put your phone on fastboot mode ( power + vol down ---> fastboot )
now open command line in the fastboot folder by holding shift and right click
then type
fastboot flash recovery recover.img(name of the recovery)
fastboot erase cache
You are done.

It does not recognize because you must not have debugging enabled.
enable it
Download the latest TWRP
put the image file on the same folder as your fastboot/adb
Rename TWRP recovery to "recovery.img"
Use these commands:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
you can get flashify from the play store. links below.

Hello,
I recently bought a moto g 2014 XT1068 Dual Sim, and I've already updated to 5.0.2.
I really wanted to get it rooted, and as I've seen, it is only possible by first unlocking the BL.
I wanted to ask if there is a safe method to to that, since my device is Dual Sim, and I dont know if the methods provided in the forum work
I'm aware that the warranty will probably be voided (I'm from europe and bought it here also), but honestly I just want the root access.
Please just tell me, if possible, if there is any safe method to unlock the BL and after that, to root my Dual SIM.
Thank you for your patience,
maximuns

is this working on lollipop 5.0.2?
I´ve got the XT1068 dual sim too and I rooted it with this method:
1) Unlock bootloader on the Motorola homepage following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/wip-unlock-bootloader-moto-g-2nd-gen-t2875728
Minimal ADB and Fastboot does the job.Unlocking BL will erase your userdata.
2) Now you have two options:
a) Flash TWRP 2.8.5.0: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-8-2-0-touch-recovery-t2979149 (I used 2.8.5.0, 2.8.6.0 surely will work too)
b) Or just boot into it, the way I did : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/guide-root-moto-g-2014-flash-custom-t2955243
Command for flashing (TWRP will replace your stock recovery):
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot [B]flash[/B] openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-titan.img
(You can rename the file for instance in recovery.img, then the command will be fastboot flash recovery.img)
Reboot into TWRP recovery,flash latest superSU (earlier versions will cause bootloops): http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip (it should be placed in internal or external storage) via the Install menu.
Wipe cache and dalvik.
Command for booting into TWRP ( TWRP will not be flashed on your phone, it´s just temporary.As described in the linked thread above the recovery.img-file has to resist in the adb and fastbot folder):
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot[B] boot[/B] openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-titan.img
Your phone will restart in temporary custom recovery.
Flash the latest superSU: http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip from TWRP (it should be placed in internal or external storage) via the Install menu.
Wipe cache and dalvik,reboot phone and you´re done.

ok i've done it ahah
I just cant boot the recovery.img, it says 'No such file or directory', help???
Did you enter the path and file name correctly?
Check it again.
The recovery file has to be inside the Minimal Adb and Fastboot folder. Paste it there, open the folder, press Shift and do a right click inside the folder. From the menu choose "open a command window here".
Now enter the above adb commands.
Like Lars wrote the path must be correct. If you installed Adb and Fastboot in the root of C: the path should be " C:\Minimal Adb and Fastboot."
Just one thing,if you are annoyed by the bootloader unlocked warning screen just flash (before or after superSU) this logo.bin:https://mega.co.nz/#!cc1AGa6Y!6ctYLqVYWyfhPBU5rF1TX_r9jjF68cP3qcknAWU2DjE
That replaces the warning screen with the stock bootlogo.

Thanks, got it and working flawlessly. Just a question, when I want to flash anything I can repeat the process again (Boot into twrp) with no need to flash it?
Yes you can do it but why don't you want to flash the custom recovery?
If you don´t want to flash roms,kernels etc. all the time,there is no need to flash a custom recovery. You can flash anything like superSU,logo.bin etc. by booting into TWRP, also backup/restore works this way on the Moto G. You can´t do this with a Nexus 7, it won´t boot into TWRP.
Some people want to change as less as possible as long they stay stock.When it comes to custom roms and kernels flashing the custom recovery is the better choice for sure.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ROOTING:
After flashing TWRP 3.0.2, use the SuperSU 2.46 flashable zip, do NOT use latest version or will result in a bootloop. Good Luck and have fun with rooting.
REQUIREMENTS
1- Unlocked Bootloader (search on google if you dont know how to unlock)
2- Drivers and Adb/Fastboot commands knowledge
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New TWRP bugfix update! Now you can flash stock rom on TWRP without bricking! Download Page updated!
Bugs:
1- adb shell command needs to be sent before system partition is mounted or it will give an error, after doing adb shell you can mount system and do all the modifications you need.
2- You cant flash any img on twrp it gives an error, im trying to fix.
3- Backups do work, but everytime twrp restarts, the serial number folder seems to change (which means that on /TWRP/BACKUPS/serialnumber/backupsinside/ changes every reboot so you have to go get the backup inside the old serialnumber folder and put on the new serialnumber folder).
Im leaving an unsecured boot image because system does not boot android if anything seems changed. So please if system does not boot after flashing twrp/rooting, flash the unsecured boot img on fastboot
Steps to Install TWRP and root
1. Download and extrct the files: https : // drive. google . com/file/d/0BxzG5iupOOSKNTdlRC1Wd0VmTlk/view
2. Power off the tablet.
3. Enter fastboot mode by pressing the power button while holding down Vol -
4. Open up command prompt and navigate to the directory where fastboot.exe is located.
5. Pass the following commands:
fastboot flash boot unsecuredboot.img
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
6. Reboot into recovery (TWRP) and install SuperSU v2.46.zip ---
Continuation 6. Step by Step of Step 6 since people seem to have been running into issues with it:
After rebooting to TWRP and having SuperSU.zip in the tablet storage. Go on Install tab and press the supersu file and install/flash it then reboot the device.
I have was trying to flash the TWRP recovery in my phone (Redmi 4a), but the recovery always got replaced after every reboot with the STOCK recovery.
I am now going to show how to flash this, beside the command line technique......(Although, some command line is necessary).....
1. Set adb and fastboot files in your Windows pc, fine
2. Now download the required twrp on to your pc and place it in adb-fastboot's folder.... or techies could path to that ****....
3. Enter bootloader with.....
adb reboot bootloader4. Now boot to twrp using......
fastboot boot recovery.img(I have named that twrp file as recovery)
5. Download super su zip, move it in phone, root your device....... reboot your device.......Now the second phase of process comes
6. Install twrp app in your phone, open it, copy the twrp image file to phone, tap on flash recovery
7. Select your twrp recovery in the phone and boom....... you have done it...... reboot to recovery by adb reboot recovery
I FORGOT TO MENTION, you should have your device unlocked, and I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MISHAP and FOR THE STATE TO PLAY CRICKET WITH YOUR PHONE...... I am honest ....... IT WORKED FOR ME......
any tester n confirmed worked ?
No reason to do all those, you can flash recovery directly from fastboot with one command. The command:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
just boot to that recovery one time. This is good for testing a recovery or use it for one time without install it.
If you want to flash a recovery you just need to use:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Also for both commands isn't necessary to rename the recovery file or to put it adb folder, or root the device. Just need to specify the path and filename in place of "recovery.img". For e.g:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery C:\Phone\Recoveries\twrp_3.2.1.img
