How do I send SuperSU to the /sdcard/ folder? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I'm trying to root my Sprint M7. I've succeeded in doing the following.
1. Unlocked the boot loader
2. Installed CW Touch recovery
Now I think the next step is to go into Fastboot/Recovery and install the SuperSU zip from /sd_card/
That's the step I'm having problems with. How do I get the SuperSU zip onto the /sd_card/ folder? When I plug in my phone I just get HTC Sync manager popping up and I can't browse the phone's directory because Sync Manager says the phone is not connected.
Running Win 7 64.
Thanks

uninstall htc sync (but don't touch the drivers)
boot your phone in CWM
Code:
adb push supersu.zip /sdcard
then flash supersu.zip using CWM
or easy way
flash latest twrp recovery for sprint version instead of CWM
boot in recovery and exit, you'll be prompted to root the phone before leaving twrp, select yes.

[Q] Uninstall Clockworkmod

Guys any suggestion on how to uninstall CWM, want to give a try on roms using 4ext.
Lol. Its funny cuz i was thinking the exact same thing this morning.
However, its really simple. just go here. Go down to Download section and download 4ext Revocery Updater. Put that on your phone. install the application thru a file browser. Then open the application and press Online install | upgrade and it will ask for u to connect to 4ext servers. Click Do not display again and then press yes. Install the latest version. This will come in the form of a zip file and put that back on your computer.
Extract the recovery.img (dont rename it for simplicity sake) from the zip folder into ur sdk/platform-tools. Then open the Command Prompt and navigate to the platform-tools folder or alternatively just click shift right click and "open command window here" from within the platform-tools folder. Now power into bootloader and clock fastboot. It shoulds say fastboot USB. Now type into the cmd from your computer
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and hit enter. Then ure recovery should be flashed. Boot into recovery and u should have 4ext touch reovery

Download 4EXT Updater. Download latest version of 4ext and the phone flashes it for you. Keep in mind that 4ext does not replace cwm, it just copies over it. You backups are still in the cwm folder.

Once installed and in a future want to use the CWM just uninstall 4ext or have to do something special

Yes i did flash 4ext recovery and works like a charm. However, its just copied over cwm. I also dont think its possible to uninstall something once its flashed to your phone. its like when u flash something in the ROMs or other things like Mods from the recovery. U cannot remove it (at least from my basic understanding lol). Cuz whenever u wanna flash something in cwm it always says
Are you sure you want to flash this
-no

Once its flashed "over the top", CWM is removed and 4EXT takes its place. Basically anything you flash on top of something else removes what was there before in that exact place. For example if you were sitting on a chair and I came and replaced you, you wouldn't be on that chair anymore, would you?
That is just a precaution because you can go wrong with flashing the wrong thing, and you can't un flash

Lol very nice metaphor!
I did this the other day and it worked fine. Just install the 4EXT app and install from there.
I installed the app and installed the recovery from there, everything working fine.

Downloaded the 4ext recovery, installed it on phone, did the online install, upgraded and installed 4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.5_RC9, extracted recovery image from this file put it in the android folder with the following files adb (application file), AdbWinApi.dll, boot (image file), Fastboot (application file), Unlock_code file. Connected the phone to the computer in bootloader, went to fastboot and connected it to the computer which than showed fastboot usb, went into cmd and typed fastboot flash recovery recvoery.img in the android folder with the above mentioned files with the recovery image file. Now for the past 20 minutes it is stuck at sending recovery <5466 kd>.....
Please help??? dont know what I am doing wrong???
there is other way to Flash recovery by avoiding overwriting files...I used this many time to switch between 4EXT Touch >> CWM >> TWRP...
Right click on command prompt and select 'RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR'...
Give a path of fastboot drivers... (mine is C:/android/adb) depend on ua adb driver location...
type command...
fastboot erase recovery
it will erase ua recovery (It will erase ua recovery only and only if u run command prompt as administrator)
put ua desired recovery in adb folder where u installed adb and fastboot drivers (rename it to recovery for more connivance )
type this command now...
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
it will send ua recovery to system and ua done...
Thanks but right now I am stuck at sending recovery, so if I remove cwm and than flash 4ext as you have suggested and I again get stuck on sending than I won't have any recovery...

So you are saying that after flashing 4ext, you cant boot into recovery???
Cuz i find that kinda funny considering the fact that 'flashing' means you overwrite and replace. Since 4ext is built from CWM I dont see how it wudnt be compatible. Plus our device is fully supported.
It's not that I can not boot into recovery...I cannot flash the 4ext recovery, it gets stuck at sending recovery for ages and than I have to unplug the USB and reboot the phone...

[Q] TWRP Recovery shows a different sdcard than when connected to my PC

I'm trying to follow this to root my stock ROM on my HTC One (Sprint):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173870
I unlocked my boot loader and I can boot into TWRP recovery. My problem is, I cannot find the Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip file when I'm in TWRP recovery. I downloaded that file from http://androidsu.com/superuser/ from my phone and I can see it in the Download folder but when I'm int TWRP recovery, I see a totally different list of subfolders under /sdcard:
audio
GPU
mms
TWRP
video
weather
In the YouTube video, after clicking on Install in TWRP recovery, the Download folder shows up but not in my phone. And when I connect my phone to my PC (Windows Vista Home Premium), I don't see any of the directories above under /sdcard but I see the Download and the Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip file.
I can't seem to find a solution.
From that link, on page 25, Radikaal posted a similar problem but no one has responded:
Im getting "different" sdcards when connected to computer and when in recovery, so when i connect to computer i can put in files but they won't show in recovery, only files that i put in like 2-3 days ago. Anyone got an idea why this is happening and how to fix it?
I also tried CWM (Classic and Touch) and CWM2 but all of them seem to just shut down my phone when I try to boot in recovery. At least TWRP can boot in recovery.
I've backed up all my app and data with Titanium Backup Pro which requires root so I really need to root my phone so I can restore all my apps and data from my old EVO 4G to my new HTC One.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I figured out what I was doing wrong - I was using the wrong TWRP recovery file. Apparently, there is a separate file for HTC One on Sprint USA (which is what I have).
The file I was using before was openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7.img but the one for Sprint USA is openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7wls.img (note the extra 'wls'). Once I flashed the correct recovery file and booted into recovery, it listed my Download folder and I was able to install the SuperUser image successfully. My stock ROM is now rooted.
To see if you device/carrier combination also requires a different recovery file:
Go to teamw.in/project/twrp2
Click on "Get TWRP for your device" (in the upper right corner)
Enter your phone model
For HTC One Sprint USA, the download link is:
teamw.in/project/twrp2/171
Then click on the link called "Download the newest .img file from here". Even though that link is under the "Download - ADB / Terminal method" section, you can use the same file for the Fastboot method.

Root for HTC Butterfly S and Desire 600?

Anyone have any idea if there are root methods out for either of these phones yet? I have been looking around but have yet to find any threads about rooting either of the phones.
Bump... Anyone?
Bump... No one knows?
Ill be trying a couple things. Like making a custom recovery.

Would a MotorChopper method work?
For root, I think you have to get HTCdev unlock from the HTCdev site, then flash a recovery (cwmtouch) from the dev thread and then flash supersu cwm flashable zip after booting into cwm recovery. Details in butterfly forum. No s-off method available though....

Could it be possible to add to the HTC Butterfly s a googly play rom 4.2?

Help Needed Please

Hi, I know this is going to sound so stupid but I need help ASAP.
I was fooling around with installing different ROM's for my HTC One, I tried the Google Edition for a while and decided it wasn't for me as I lost the TV remote. I then tried to re-flash the Android Revolution HD 12 I had on before and it wouldn't flash. I thought a wipe would work but now I've succeeded in ending up with a TWRP recovery that works fine but no software whatsoever to flash or boot to. The phone says 'No OS Installed'
Every time I turn off the phone it also says that it doesn't appear to be rooted, do I want to install supersu? The phone says 'unlocked' with CID 11111111
I have totally fallen into the idiot trap, too much confidence and ambition, zero skill and talent.

You should be able to use this toolkit to install SU and also to sideload a rom zip from your PC to the phone to reinstall your ROM of choice. Sounds like you wiped your data partition entirely. Since you have S-off and Super CID you should have no problems loading another rom. Just have to use one of the creative ways to get it on the phone (sideload, USB-OTG adapter, etc.)

Well the easiest way to do a sideload is using the All in One tool. Do you have access to any other PC that have Windows 7 or XP? I don't have a win 8 system to try to assist with compatibility mode with the one.exe tool.
If no other PC options are available then we will have to go the long way which will involve installing ADB like in this guide: (Under Installation section - It has 5 steps for installing ADB)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427008
Once ADB is installed we can use these steps from the sideload guide that I posted:
Make Sure HTC Drivers are installed and ADB is already working
1. Reboot into TWRP
2. in TWRP, Hit advanced and find Sideload
3. Swipe to start Sideload
4. Open a CMD Prompt window and Change Directories to where your adb.exe is
5. type adb devices and it should show your device connected and say sideload
6. Your ZIP file should already be in your adb folder - See Example Below
7. You are now ready to push the zip.....
8. type adb sideload nameofzip.zip <------------See Example Below
9. Wait until it says 100% and reboot back into recovery to flash the ROM
10. If hitting power does not make the screen come one, type adb reboot recovery
11. if adb reboot recovery does not work, hold power and volume down until it reboots to fastboot then go to recovery

[Guide] How to recover Soft-Brick from OTA & custom recovery

I know this one has been answered a few times in pieces, and somewhat understandable manner. However, I wanted to decrypt this for everyone to be able to understand how to do it and to overcome this particular issue.
Issue: You have a custom recovery installed and your LG G2 prompts you to install the new OTA (i.e. KitKat update). You then accidentally/unknowing of consequences accept the update. Your phone restarts and keeps going to the custom recovery which you had installed, instead of booting to the update. You endlessly try to boot to your phone, but it just keeps going back to your custom recovery.
Things to do ahead:
1. Have LG G2 drivers installed on computer you will be using. You can get those from the LG website easily by searching LG G2.
2. Obtain ADB and fastboot files from HERE
3. Obtain working TWRP vs 2.7.0 from HERE if you don't have the TWRP recovery installed (i.e. if you're using CWM or Philz recovery).
Recovery Procedure:
1. If you have TWRP recovery installed, proceed from step 9
2. If you have CWM or Philz recovery installed, follow these next steps.
3. When inside CWM/Philz recovery, click on option to install zip.
4. Have your phone connected to a computer which has the LG G2 drivers installed, found on LG's site. Make sure to install drivers without phone connected to computer first. After installing, restart computer, and then plug phone to computer USB port.
5. Now that you have the phone plugged to comp, and that the comp has recognized your phone, open up CMD and navigate to the folder where you have your ADB file located and workable TWRP recovery zip file.
6. Once there, click on install using sideload on your phone's custom recovery which should be located inside the install zip option.
7. Then type in CMD on computer this: ADB sideload TWRP-file-name.zip
Note. Replace TWRP-file-name.zip with whatever the TWRP zip file on your computer is named to the letter.
8. Your phone will install TWRP recovery at this point. Once it finishes, restart your phone by rebooting recovery (should be an option somewhere there in the main level of the recovery)
9. TWRP should boot now. Once inside TWRP, click on Advance
10. Then click on Terminal Command
11. Next click on Select
Note: Do not navigate to any other folder. Just click on Select. You'll know what I mean once your in Terminal Command.
11. Type this command in the space provided in your phone (NOT in CMD) which should be now in Terminal Command mode exactly to the last letter. I'm not kidding; don't miss a character or replace a number. You risk nuking your phone. Double check your typing.
Type this: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
Note: You should note that there is a space between dd and if=/dev, and another space between /zero and of=/dev
12. Once the command finishes running, about 30 seconds or less, restart phone. And voila. Your phone should boot back to your pre-selecting update with OTA mode.
In my case, I wiped everything and tried restoring one of my nandroids. That did not help me boot my phone. However, when I did the above mentioned steps, my phone booted to my backed up state which I installed prior.
Hopefully you don't end up being a victim of this. But if you are, now you can confidently bring yourself back :good:
Good luck and share your progress. Thanks!

I repeated this three times, and no luck... any suggestions?
I did it a tad differently. I am running Windows 7.
First I downloaded these universal drivers so my phone was recognized under Device Manager, went to my adb directory with command prompt and typed the following:
