I have installed cm recovery and not twrp..why?

bgcngm said:
I don't know why. You should know what you have done. Read and follow instructions and everything will be fine.

After an update to last cm, cm recovery overwrite twrp. Is there a way to have twrp again?

bgcngm said:
That is probably because you enabled an option in Developer options, namely "Update Cyanogen recovery". Again, read instructions and you will know how to flash TWRP.

Could you explain me how to do step by step, because if it's too complicated, I will remain on cm recovery.

This is offtopic. Google the instruction, there are a lot of sites available which can help, I am sure XDA has a dedicated thread. If you do not like to read search on YouTube.
This is what I found after searching 5 seconds. http://www.androidbeat.com/2015/12/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-cm-13-android-device/
Now please back to topic!

Cmon man, like, there's a whole guide of flashing TWRP out there. Even in this Mi5 forum.
You should really put an effort to read and search before you start asking retorical question in a wrong thread....

You have to install TWRP, we have guide on how to do that in this section. Then just wipe stuff and flash this zip (+gapps).

Well you're in a development thread asking for recovery installation instructions for a lot of devices people wouldn't help at all in this section!

You will have to go to the HTCDEV.com site and unlock your bootloader in order to root now that you have the ICS update.

If you just want to root your stock ROM, then you can simply flash su-3.0.7.zip from recovery mode instead of flashing a custom, rooted ROM.

[Q] How to gain root access and possibly some sort of method to unlocking 4.3

Hey guys, so I need help in gaining root access on my phone.
I followed this guys guide to getting to rooting ( under 10 posts, but yeah I followed a youtuber by the name of Qbking77 ), and it was good!,,, Until I used 2 root checkers and they said I don't actually have root access!
Right now I have twrp installed, an unlocked bootloader, and a phone sim locked to sprint and my main goal is to unlock it for a canadian carrier and root it to run custom roms.
I'm even willing to fork out some coffee money if someone can help me out here!
Feel free to ask me questions if you need to know more about my phone, and thanks in advance guys !

Yeah, I did everything as posted in the video that I used, and he flashed it with twrp (sorry if I get the terminology wrong lol)
You may just need to go into the SuperSU/superuser app and update the binaries

Open your app drawer and find the supersu/superuser app and select it to open the app
It will tell you if the binaries need to be updated

There is an app in the themes section but I don't think it's working on 4.3 as of yet.
There is a thread in Q&A I believe has a solution for 4.3 users

Help with magisk

Please close.
H4X0R46 said:
Hello! So I saw the thread for magisk, read it, and am a bit confused on how it works or what it does. I understand that it installs into your boot partition and can potentially make any mod systemless, but I'm confused on how it works for the most part, could someone explain in short what it is? Like I said, I read through the thread already, but still not sure. Thanks guys!

I would follow Magisk's official Installation Instructions. Let me know if you have any questions after reading through it.

I've read it well, but I don't know where to get boot.img for my device.
Is there a video explanation about this subject?

According to the instructions:
If your device has boot ramdisk, get a copy of the boot.img (or init_boot.img if exists).
If your device does NOT have boot ramdisk, get a copy of the recovery.img.
You should be able to extract the file you need from official firmware packages or your custom ROM zip.

I'm trying to figure out how to find stock firmware for your device now.
