As above, is there any good tips or useful tips that I should know before rooting and unlocking this device? I mean things such as not doing a factory reset in the bootloader as that can cause a brick
Thanks

i also want to know that
EDIT:
Is a good idea make a sticky thread where we can see what we should't do....to prevent brick the device while nvflash isn't available on jb bootloaders
Is there anything that can't be done in TWRP that can be done in CWM?
cwm can't do any backup in my device (search in this forum)

Thanks for the reply. Do they both have the exact same functions? Can TWRP read the SD card?

From my recent experience with unlocking my Tf300T:
1. Read all directions slowly and multiple times.
2. Only method to flash TWRP was putting recovery.blob in C:\android\platform-tools no other method would work. All i would get was soft
brick. You don't need all the one step tools, videos. etc. While these might be helpful to some, once I put blob in correct folder and pushed via ADB it was simple.
3. Once you unlock you can not go back and you loose your warranty.
4. Root has to come in your ROM. Currently there is not root method for us.
Good luck and have fun. May I suggest Energy Rom. I love it.
+1 for TWRP.
CWM wouldn't work properly on my tab. It wouldn't flash zips or make backups properly. I'm not putting CWM down by any means because I use it on my phone and it works flawlessly. It just didn't work the way it should for me on my TF300T.
Thanks for the help but I thought you had to put TWRP.blob in the root of the SD card?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
No you don't put it on SD card. It needs to go in the sdk platform tools folder on your c drive

You put in on the root of the SD card if you're using terminal emulator on the tablet don't you?

You must.....
Unlock the bootloader
Reboot into the bootloader - power plus vol down
In the bootloader select the USB icon while having your tablet connected to a PC that can do adb
Flash twrp using fastboot per instructions on the twrp site.
You now have recovery for flashing other zip files, like the superuser zip to get root.

Thank you for the assistance. I don't suppose there are any guides for TWRP on this forum or is it relatively straight forward?

As long as you put the blob in the right folder and flash it correctly it should take you less than 5 min to get recovery. Then toy just have to wait until your first ROM is downloaded to flash it. Just follow directions on Twrp site. Quicker way to get cmd line in sdk-platform tools is, while in that file, right click on empty white space and hold ctrl. Will open adb in correct directory and make it stupid simple.

I found this:
You will need fastboot for this method. Download the above file, check the md5, rename to twrp.blob and put the file in the same directory as your fastboot.exe (unless you have /platform-tools in PATH then you can flash from anywhere). Turn off your device and boot to fastboot (power on while holding volume down, then select the usb icon and hit volume up to confirm). The device will now be in fastboot mode. Plug the device into your computer. Run the following command via the command line:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
Which does help but I'm not sure where on my PC I have to enter the command line?

open the terminal and go to fastboot file using cd command (windows)...exemple cd:\fastboot
when you are in that place run
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
So do I just need to type those two commands on terminal? Is there anything else I need to download besides the TWRP file? I appreciate the help, thanks.

You have. When you rooted your phone. Remember....just put your
"android-sdk-4windows" in your windows path to make this easier to remember from now on. Then you can take your "recovery.img" & place it in your windows root directory. [ C:\ ] (easier to find & delete once you've used it).
Plug in your phone, bring up a command window (cmd in the start command for windows) & type 'cd\' at the cmd line to take you back to the 'path'. There you type...
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery 'filename'.img
fastboot reboot
It'll tell you what it's doing and you'll see when you're done. NOOO problems.
Easy way. Download ROM manager via Play. Open it. It might ask you on 1st boot to flash CWM recovery. If it does let it flash it for you. Otherwise use the flash CWM option in the app. It does it all for you.

Then again......like Agent said....there IS the easy way. LOL
Are you backing up from ROM manager or from Recovery? If you are working from ROM Manager make sure that any spaces beteween the letters of named files are filled in with underscores. Such as CM9_Taco_Salad_on_a_Stick_Edition. If you can't get it to work from recovery you got problems and definitely need to reflash from ROM Manager.

Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
if you want to go thru exact steps for cwm we can, but you need adb/fastboot working on your pc, and knowing how to use them. I won't have time tonite for a tutorial on that, but plenty of info out there.
also on phone make sure under settings/power fastboot is unchecked. if you are going to use fastboot to flash cwm you need usb debugging check under settings/dev options
easier way is to flash twrp recovery
their thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677670
mainly just download goo mananger from play store
open it
tap on menu, mine is the 3 dots
tap on Install OpenRecoveryScript
follow directions
with twrp you can flash radios and most roms without flashing kernel thru fastboot
always have a nandroid and sdcard bu before doing these things
Yes, I've done that already uh sing hassoons tool kit. Probably just stick with reg cwm. Not on recovery much anyways. Have used cwm for a couple years. I tried the twrp rec. For a few minutes.

Hi I have used the tool kit, but some of the recoveries there don't work. I found this file online after searching and it does work with my HTC One S. This is touch recovery, pretty good, actually.
You can just flash the .img file through:
a) adb command(fastboot), might be faster for you.
or
b) you can put this file(extract it first) into the "data" folder of the tool kit, but you will have to edit bat file to be able to integrate your new .img file with the UI. I did this way.
This is the link where I got the above recovery. http://www.modaco.com/topic/353006-...ch-recovery-for-the-htc-one-s-stock-download/
This link also have stock .img you might need in the future. I tried both the recovery and stock files, they both worked well.
See if this will help you out.
So I have root access and my phone has that Motorola warning that your phones bootloader is unlocked I downloaded cwm but don't know how to flash it. I get stuck on the command promt part and can't get to the part that it asks you to find where you saved android adj tools? I'm really confused? Is there any videos on what commands to put in the command promt?

Hi. Forgive me if I am in the wrong section. I want to door my Rogers one x. I went to the Rogers one x compilation and could not find the right one. My firmware is 3.17.631.2. Can I use the root method listed for 3.18? I do not want to mess things up. I previously used Hassoons toolkit to unlock the boot loader. Now when I use it to install tarp, I do not think it recognizes my phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Think you.

All you need to do is go to htcdev and unlock your bootloader there, then you can flash TWRP 2.6, and flash a custom ROM, smooth sailing!

I know you were able to install TWRP using Goo Manager. But the proper way to install using your PC, would be using fastboot, with the command:
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
Where "filename" is the actual name of the recovery .img file.
Another thing to note, you don't need to unzip the recovery zip file.

I bought a Nexus 5 from someone and everything was working fine. I brought it home to flash another ROM and when I downloaded the zip file and booted into recovery, Team Win 2.6.3.1, I erased everything like I normally would but didn't realize this recovery wiped everything, the ROM on the root of the drive and the OS. So now I have a phone with no OS. I tried downloading the ROM to my laptop and mounting the phone over USB but it's not working. Any suggestions guys?

If you used the tool you should have adb on your pc. Find which folder adb.exe is. Download any rom zip file and put it in that folder. Open a command window in that folder, shift right click on it and a pop up window will open where you can open the command window.
In the command window use adb push your rom.zip /sdcard/download. That should put the rom onto your device. You can then flash it in your recovery

I've tried this but it seems without the phone being mounted nothing is pushing to it.

Thanks buddy. I was able to flash the stock image from Google. I'm surprised none of the ADB push commands or sideload would work. Now I'm unrooted but that's fixable.
