This looks like a great tool, many thanks.
I am currently on TWRP 2.6.1 that was bundled with Maximus10HD during the hboot 2.16 upgrade.
My main gripe about this recovery is that you are no longer able to transfer files to the internal memory whilst in recovery mode, which is a real pain for obvious reasons if your phone won't boot. However I'm unaware if this is an hboot 2.16 limitation or just the recovery I am using.
Do either of the other two recoveries you have included allow file transfer with ADB sideloading, ie as per hboot 2.15?

Unfortunately no none of the recovers for 2.16 are able to mount in recovery but they all can have Rom pushed by adb
Also I would highly recommend a usb otg cable works great no matter the recovery

I was using, actually tried, recovery switchers called a b and c, with three recoveries in each, but have never succeeded to change recovery from recovery. I had a same tought - great tool. But in vain. Now i have it. Thanksalot @Flashalot

Noob question. I've been putting off upgrading my ROM because of the mount USB storage issue with the new firmwares. How do I go about accessing my USB storage with an OTG cable?

Well if your talking about recovery then if in twrp go to mounts and mount it same as philz but if it's your ROM then I think you should take it up to the developer who made it may I ask what ROM you are on

Flashing the Sense ROMs like TrickDroid or zenROM+ doesn't work in TWRP versions above 2.3.3.0.
Don't ask me why, but it doesn't work. You can temporarily flash it in an older recovery

Aah ok thanks! Didnt know that this was a well known problem with twrp v2.5+, because i didnt find such an error on google. Could u tell which recovery i should use? CWM or better lower twrp version? Is a twrp version lower than 2.3 buggy or fine?

TWRP 2.3.3.0 is the beat IMO. It works fine for me and is very stable.

Ah, that explains the issue I've been having recently. Thanks for the help! I reverted to 2.3.3 and was able to get viper to flash again. I haven't noticed any difference between 2.3.3 and 2.5 on this device. Are there any downsides to keeping 2.3.3 for the foreseeable future?

On the TWRP website, search for Ville and you'll find all the previous versions (not the goo.im app link)
oh lol yea found it thanks, think im blind sometimes..
Yes!! Back in action
Awesome! So glad I stumbled onto this thread. The Google searches were all coming up with nothing until this one. I was using 2.6.1.0 when I initially had this issue then upgraded to 2.6.3.0 hoping that would resolve but nothing. Rolled back to 2.3.3.0 and now I'm good to go :good:
Just FYI, to anyone else that comes after me this fix worked for me and I'm using a T-Mo Galaxy S2 so this fix is not device-specific.
The issue I'm running into is that I can't figure out how to revert to 2.3.3.0. I'm using 2.6.0.0 and in the cmd prompt I type "fastboot erase cache" and then "fastboot flash recovery xxxxxx.zip". But when I do that I'm forever stuck in fastboot until I flash 2.6.0.0 again. It's like my HOX+ is married to that version and can't use anything else. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Fasboot flashing needs to be .img not .zip
extract your 2.33 zip so that you can flash the .img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (typing the name of recovery.img)
or download the img file from twrp website
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2
click on the "get twrp for your device" on the right and follow the links to the version you want for your particular brand of phone.

Thanks for the reply, tivo. My mistake on the .zip. I meant .img. I made sure to download the correct version, but still have the same issue. I just get stuck on the white HTC development screen. So, I can get into bootloader and TWRP (2.6.0.0 only), but can't flash ROMs. I'm just stuck with no OS and can't seem to find a work-around. My bootloader says Tampered and Unlocked/S-On. I did, however, use an unlock guide for the One X by accident, instead of the X+. That is the only thing I can think that would cause my troubles...

sorry how to revert back? I have TWRP 2.5.0.0
Edit:Nevermind I found out, but that wasn't the case for me I'm trying to flash liquid jb v2.37 and after I downgraded twrp ,I've still got an error (error 7)...
How do i get 2.3.3 when the goo.im page only goes back to 2.5 for my device? Also is this solution still relevant for flashing an AOKP 4.4 kit kat nightly rom on the Sprint HTC One (m7wls/m7spr)

If you just search [ville] on the TWRP website, it should have the One S recovery you need. It doesn't matter if you have the T-Mobile of the International version.

On the TWRP site, look for the "Get TWRP for your device" button in the upper right hand corner. Then that should bring up the search function:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This tool will allow you remove the Tampered flag from your bootloader. It will also allow you to easily Lock and Unlock your Bootloader directly from recovery.
No root required since it is run in recovery, however you still must be S-OFF.
Before using this tool you need to be sure you are using the latest version of recovery as the M7 U/UL TWRP requires at least version 2.6.3.3 for this package to work. The current downloads for both CWM and TWRP can found below:
The latest M7 U/UL TWRP can be downloaded HERE.
The latest M7 U/UL CWM can be downloaded HERE.
***[UPDATE] - It seems that the latest TWRP 2.6.3.3 has been pulled due to some minor issues. If your TWRP version doesn't work please use CWM for now until a updated TWRP release is made.
This will work for Verizon and Sprint as well, however they have different versions of these recoveries, so please make sure you are using the correct recovery for your device.
Saying this again in case you missed it: YOU MUST BE S-OFF!
To use the tool simply copy the zip file to your phone and then boot to your custom recovery and choose install. Then browse to where you copied the file and select it. The aroma installer will begin. Follow the steps outlined in the pictures below and choose the options you want to run.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now you can just keep this file on your phone and Lock and Unlock at anytime without a PC and without losing data.
***Credits***
S-trace for originally discovering the location of the lock status flag. See this thread.
scotty1223 for his ADB shell commands. Threads HERE and HERE. Scotty was also very helpful to me in understanding some of the default values.
Just to be clear I did not just copy and paste scotty1223's commands into a aroma installer. The echo command can be problematic in aroma, so I developed original code for all four commands. The end result is the same in that the data in the partitions is changed as needed.

Demo and Troubleshooting

***Troubleshooting***
If the installer stays on this screen fore more than a few seconds, then it means you need to delete/format cache. This can be done within both recoveries. You may need to reboot recovery after clearing cache and begin the installer again. This seems to happen more on CWM than TWRP.
If the installer runs but your bootloader doesn't change, it is proably one of these things:
You are not S-Off
You do not have the latest version of recovery (I recommend TWRP)

On older recoveries, the worst that could happen is that it may not work. It won't hurt to try.
The reason you need an updated recovery is because on TWRP before version 2.6.3.3 the partition wasn't writable so the actions didn't work. Older CWM should be ok but I only tested the latest.

Hi crushalot, I just noticed TWRP version 2.6.3.3 was pulled and back to 2.6.3.0, just FYI
Awesome that this can be done fron recovery, let alone in an Aroma install! Looks good! :good:
But I am having trouble seeing the use for me personally? Is this so that Ican lock my botloader and download Official OTAs (if thats required)? Or is this just something in case I have to send it off for service?

Yeah, seems like it was pulled because the charging while in recovery doesn't work correctly.
It still works for everything else. Not sure if they will just re-release 2.6.3.3 when fixed or make a new version.
I will update the link and info in the OP.

Also sometimes a locked bootloader is needed for promotions like the 25 GB of Google Drive space.
There can be a variety of reasons one might need to toggle it.
Looking and unlocking won't wipe data? Like a typical htcdev unlock does?

No, my tool doesn't wipe data during a lock or unlock.
It directly modifies the partitions that conatin the bootloader status, without touching /data or /system
This is the first of many guides I will be posting and keeping up with.
It will be utilized for Q&A FAQ and HOW TO so we can keep the development thread for development purposes.
Post your questions and Myself or other knowledgeable users of Sac23 ROMS will answer as quickly as possible.
So ......
For starters HOW TO INSTALL a ROM by SAC23
PRE REQUISITE ... YOU MUST BE ON THE 5.0 BOOTLOADER TO RUN THIS ROM
If you need to flash back to a previous stock bootloader
Mini-bootloaders - TWRP or Philz recovery already embedded:
Firmware_Only_Odin_Flashable_ Images_For_4.4.. And_5.0_Roms
Full bootloaders:
4.4.4 - G900PVPU1ANK4_G900PSPT1ANK4_SPR.zip
4.4.2 - [LINK][ROM][ODIN][TAR]SM-G900P NE5 (NE5 Modem/Kernel/ROM - Stock)
Installing with TWRP (View All Supported Devices>>> Find TWRP for your device):
Philz can be used and I will post instructions for it later
This assumes that you ALREADY have TWRP Recovery installed on your phone and you know how to use it.
TWRP Recovery by Ktoonsez: 01.13.2015: http://goo.gl/LgBsuk
Download the ROM of choice...move it onto the EXT SD CARD.
VERY IMPORTANT>>> Move all music, pics, important data from internal storage to the ext SD card and/or to your pc, etc. because during this process, the internal will be completely erased.
Recommended Method to Flash SACS Custom ROMS using TWRP

HAVE PATIENTS
When the Home Screen appears and it is obvious that the install has completed, allow the phone to settle for another 10 minutes BEFORE you begin setting up your personal preferences and accounts.
If everything seems normal, set your phone up and profit.
After setting up your personal info and you are now ready, the first thing you should always do after flashing any ROM is to go to settings, system updates, and refresh/update your PRL & PROFILE then reboot the phone. Second thing is go to settings, more networks, mobile networks, network mode, and select LTE/CDMA.

Im a little confused. So I have to flash 4.4.4 stock firmware if I'm on 4.4.2, then NKD stock firmware, and then I can flash this? I just want to make sure I'm reading this right.[emoji12]
Super stoked to try this out! Sacs, you do AMAZING WORK!!!!!!

Because Manu11 didn't update his thread about the toolkit. I decided to post this to help Mi 4i users that got into trouble with TWRP unable to flash dh.harald's CM12.1
FEATURES
-Root (MIUI only, CM users can enable Root in Developer Options) Working on MIUI7 (thanks to @ss.suryakant95 for testing this out)
-TWRP Recovery
-Stock Recovery (just in case)
-EFS (IMEI) Backup and Restore

DOWNLOAD
(Some users had problems unzipping this ZIP with WinRAR, consider using free alternatives such as 7-zip)
MAIN URL: Click here to download (Please use this download, but if in any case you can't extract, you may use the mirror I provided.)
MIRROR: Click here to download.
HOW-TO
1. Enable Developer Options (Tap MIUI version 7 times in About Phone), and then in Developer Options, enable USB debugging.
2. Have you downloaded the ZIP? No? Download it, now.
3. Extract the downloaded ZIP wherever you like, keep in mind that all files must be kept together.
4. Connect your phone to the PC.
5. Run the Start.bat file.
ATTENTION: Please do a ROOT (I'll assume you're still in MIUI) before you flash TWRP, or you may be brought back into stock recovery. (Thanks to @omerjerk for testing this)
---
UPDATE: This toolkit's TWRP is deprecated (download the newest version here), but if you don't want to hassle with downloading another fastboot driver, you can still download dh.harald's recovery .img file, and copy your downloaded recovery to the extracted toolkit folder, then change dh.harald's recovery filename into twrp.img (UNTESTED)
I'll repack this toolkit with dh.harald's newest TWRP whenever possible.
---
This toolkit is made by magdag, all credits goes to him.

I can't speak for magdag, the dev. So, this is literally the version that is usable for flashing TWRP.
I don't expect any official support for TWRP. And I prefer CWM, if there's one.

Backup everything (all partitions) except the first in the list.
You may want to use the compression.
The backup should be somewhere between 3.5GB and 5.5GB depending on the options and the data.
You could install ROM Manager (from Koushik Dutta) from the Play Store.
Choose the TWRP as recovery and Unknown Device as device.
Then you can use this to backup with TWRP and it will choose the right options for you.

Just Google it. Seriously. Or go to MIUI Forums and see the options you got there, there should be plenty of MIUI Fastboot ROM since 6.5.6

Both root and twrp
I've MiUi 6.6.10 on my device.
I used this toolkit to flash twrp but I'm not able to do so.
Whenever I select the 2 option, it flashes the recovery successfully. But, when I boot to recovery again using adb reboot recovery, I get the stock recovery and not twrp.
What I'm doing wrong ?
P.S. I haven't rooted the phone yet.

It worked after root.
I think it should be added in the main post that root is required.
Hi
Not able to restore stock recovery with the toolkit. I've tried to flash stock.img manually in fastboot., but not able to get into stock recovery even fastboot show succeeded.

I am at work at the moment, so you wil have to wait until tonight.
For those who are having a hard time flashing TWRP using a PC, I just wanna share it to you guys! I have tested this myself on my Mi-4c
Note: This will not might not work if you are using stable/dev rom version 6.14 or higher due to locked bootloader. Please unlock your bootloader first
Requirements:
Mi-4c device
Full Developer ROM pack for our phone ( make sure you install GApps too)
TWRP image (TWRP 2.8.7.1 with English and Chinese V2 & V3)
TWRP Recovery 2.8.7.0 Dev ROM (Most Stable)
Flashify App
**And of course, courage and common sense
Disclaimer: Don't blame me if you brick your device, do it at your own risk.
1. Download a developer ROM from the official download page: Click Here or use this Developer ROM [/B]Note: This method might not work if you are using dev rom version 6.14 or higher due to locked bootloader. Please unlock your bootloader first[/B]
2. Flash the Developer ROM from the updater app and install GApps of course. Now, you should have root access on your phone.
3. Download the flashable TWRP zip from the original thread or below - Original TWRP Thread --- Thanks to 油炸包子-
TWRP Recovery 2.8.7.0 Dev ROM (Most stable especially for touch issues)
TWRP V2 Dev ROM Only
TWRP V3 Dev ROM or Stable
4. Open the TWRP .zip or .7z file you downloaded using an Archiver app or ES Explorer and you will find a recovery.img inside.
4.1 Extract the recovery.img to the root of your SDCard (you can rename it to anything you like just make sure the extension stays as .img)

5.2 Launch the Security app and provide root permission to Flashify.
6. After providing root permission to flashify, launch the app again and select Recovery image from the Flash tab, choose the extracted ".img" file that you have extracted to your SDCard then flash.
7. There should be a success "Flash complete" message then select "Reboot now" to reboot your phone.
Congratulations!! You should now have TWRP after reboot.
*****Access TWRP by powering the phone off, turn it back on by holding the power together with the volume up (+) button and it should take you to the TWRP screen if a few sec.*****
Want to update to TWRP V3? Follow the steps below:
Do this if you have the previous version (TWRP V2) installed, else, follow the steps above to get V3 directly.
Should you wish to update to the latest TWRP from the original thread: http://en.miui.com/thread-169401-1-1.html
1. Download the latest TWRP from your mobile: -
TWRP V3 Dev ROM or Stable
2. Extract the ".img" file, depends which ROM you're on if Developer or Stable.
3. Save it to the root of your SDCard
4. Boot your phone to recovery (Power & Volume (+) Up
5. Once on TWRP screen, select Install, from there you will need to select "Install Image" lower right, navigate to the root of your SDCard and select the ".img" you have previously extracted (TWRP V3), select "recovery" not boot, then Slide to Flash the new version.
Congrats! You have successfully updated your TWRP to V3.

It shouldn't be like that, but that's how it is right now. I'm not sure if there's any fix available, but I guess an updated version of the recovery will be released soon, that has this problem fixed..

Same here. Tested and working. I am on Mokee rom now.
Thanks for the guide but I found something wierd happening. After succesfully flashing twrp and rebooting it goes in twrp when I restart after that and try to go in recovery with volume up +power it takes me to stock recovery? Any ideas??:/
So version 3 works without any touch problems?

I'm using the v3 linked in this thread and the touch problem still exists. I have to wait 2-3 minutes before it works.
I tested the 2.8.7.0 version from miui.com and touch screen worked immediately. I'm not sure if it was just lucky or not, because I only tested it once. Maybe worth trying it and see how it works?
It'd weird because the one I have some times freezes and some times doesn't

Just reflash TWRP then reboot to TWRP, it should ask you if you want to either use it as read only or allow modification, select allow modification. Hope that helps.
Yes with the modded version on xiaomi.eu the touch works!
