What is TWRP Recovery?

I'm only familiar with ClockwordMod. I see on some ROM pages that you don't need to use the boot.img if you have TWRP recovery. What is it and where do I get it? Thanks.

It is team win recovery project . I believe you can be able to get online if you do a search . It is based on aosp recovery and has standard recovery options plus a few of their own options . Hope this helps and answers your questions. Just search team win recovery project and you can download from their site I believe.

It's in the dev section, you should at least look there 1st or search

What I really like about TWRP is that you could mount the sdcard; something you can't do with CWM.
Also some people reported that if your battery dies on you while on CWM, your phone might not charge at all and you will have a dead phone.

You can either
1- download the recovery.img and use fastboot to flash.
2- Easier just to use Goo Manager, Hit the menu button (or 3 dots) and choose
"Flash OpenRecovery"

CWM for some reason can not write to certain partitions, boot.img is one.
The boot.img is in the ROM and TWRP will flash it.
In case you want to use CWM, just extract the boot.img from the ROM file you download. Put it where fastboot can see it (usually where fastboot.exe is).
Run command
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
After that is done boot into recovery and flash ROM

[Q] I hope I didn't brick my phone

I'm new to android and really hope I didn't pooch my phone.
I tried installing Jelly Bean and now can't do much of anything. I can get into bootloader and load up team windows recovery (not sure what to do in there)
When I am in fastboot and try through a command prompt adb devices doesn't list the HTC One X (Rogers, Canada)
I really am not sure what to do. I have downloaded a ton of stuff nothing seems to make a difference (HTC drivers, img and zip files..) I think it boils down to getting some direction on what troubleshooting to do with the exact files I would need to use.

flash a rom in recovery ofcourse.
adb doesnt work in hboot only fastboot. your phone is fine. you need to copy the rom zips to your sdcard. then go to install inside recovery. you can mount your sdcard inside recovery also so you can copy stuff. you should still be able to reboot the system normal and have it boot fine. unlocking and flashing recovery doesnt wipe your phone.

[ATTENTION] IF your on HBOOT 1.14 (firmware 2.20) first flash boot.img then flash ROM

Especially for people who rooted their phones recently using X-Factor root exploit
"If you have the newer HBOOT 1.14 (you probably do if coming from stock 2.20), boot.img's will have to be flashed separately via fastboot. Extract the boot.img from you ROM zip of choice and put it in the same directory as fastboot. Reboot your device into boot loader and run "'fastboot flash boot boot.img' (no quotes)
You can then flash the ROM" - thanks to

"if you are flashing similar ROMs ( having same kernel ).. there is no need to flash boot.img separately. But say if you wanna switch from sense to aosp you must do that as they have different kernels.
Again if you are just upgrading from older version to newer version of same ROM and if there are no kernel changes no need to flash it" (thanks kancherlapraneeth)

Can i please get some need some help
I'm currently on paranoid android 2.51 jb ROM. I did the root exploit since I was stuck on 2.20
And before I flashed paranoid android I made a twrp backup of stock sense.
Ok this is what I need help on because I was on 2.20 I had to flash the boot.img along with the custom ROM to get it working, now what I need to know is if I restore my twrp backup do I need to flash the boot.img so I can go back to stock? If so how can I get the boot.img from my backup that I made? I copied backup to my computer to look for the boot.img but there's nothing there
I wanted to post here before I make a new thread

TWRP restore does not boot
I used TWRP 2.3.1 to back up the rooted stock rom on my AT&T One X firmware 2.20. I then proceeded to flash Viper X 2.6.0 but the phone was stuck in boot loop even after I flashed the boot.img in the Viper zip file. I was able to get back into TWRP and run the restore. However, the phone continues to be in a boot loop even after the restore.
Did I miss any steps in the restore process for TWRP?

ViperX isn't for you phone. Your lucky you can get back into twrp. You need to flash your boot.img backup in fastboot.

For people trying to flash the style backup and can't find the boot.img you should be able to fastboot boot.emmc.win just as a normal boot.img.

I think I know what my problem was. I flashed the rom first THEN the boot.img. Which caused it to get stuck at the boot animation and I would have to go to the boot loader and flash the boo.img.

Ya same issue here too. My mistake was i flashed the boot.img after I flashed the rom. So now I'm rooting and flashing again and see if flashing boot.img the first time works.

I feel so stupid now. I kept doing fastboot boot boot.img. Not fastboot flash boot boot.img. No wonder it always stuck in the boot animation screen all the time. So I flash the boot img then i flash the rom from recovery? What do I wipe in TWRP?

[Q] Fresh Start

Hi all, I just wanted to start by saying that xda is the shizz and has helped me through thick n thin. Anywho, I have a custom Rom and am trying to go to a different Rom. ViperX to be specific. I've tried before, but with little success. Extracted boot.img, fastboot flash boot boot.img in the command, put the Rom on my sd and installed via TWRP. Problem is, is that it never boots, only the HTC boot screen with the red writing. Anyone have any suggestions on what I need to do? I'm still S-on, but from what I understand, that doesn't matter if you fastboot the boot.img via command prompt. I also have Hboot 1.14.
Thanks.

Because you are S-ON with hboot 1.14 you ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS need to fastboot flash boot boot.img from the rom you are flashing.
That being said, Sounds like you are on TWRP 2.4.x please confirm.
If so, fastboot flash twrp 2.3.x.x
then fastboot erase cache
then wipe cache, dalvik, system, factory reset

No problem you have the correct ROM, if you had flashed wrong one it would have not worked correctly. Depending on the ROM sometimes it will show XL instead of X.

One xl is the proper model name, code named Evita, not to be confused with the real HTC One X international quad core version.
So in other words, nothing is wrong. This is normal. If you flashed the wrong rom you would know as you would now have a paperweight

Except for ViperXL (and old builds of CleanROM, which may also happen with future builds if/when scrosler gets AROMA back in there) which is intended to flash the boot.img in AROMA.
Although, it doesn't always work for some folks, so they have had to flash boot.img manually. So yes, if at all in doubt (and you have a boot loop) flash boot.img manually.

[Q] Reboot loop after JmzM4 custom kernel

Hello,
I recently unlocked my bootloader and installed the CWM recovery to install custom kernels for overclocking (my htc one mini is not rooted). So I went for the JmzM4_Kernel-09-4-13. And since I installed it I am in a F$%&/&%$ reboot loop. I already wiped the cache and dalvik cache twice but it doesn't help. I searched already for answers on google but I didn't find what needed, so I landed here.
Hope somebody can help me to get out of this reboot loop and get a normal smartphone again
Thank you for your attention
Here are the bootloader specs:
***Tampered***
***unlocked***
M4_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.21.0000

Did you flash the boot.img using flashboot from the kernel zip? also are you using jelly bean 4.2.2? because that's what it was built for.
Also there are no options to over clock using this kernel...

Thank you for your reply :good:
Yes I did flash the boot.img with flashboot, but I have android 4.3 and sense 5.5 on it. Is that maybe the problem?
A friend of me said that if I flash an incompatible kernel on my device, it would be dead. Is that true? I don't think so because I still have acess to the bootloader and CWM recovery .

shouldn't brick your phone, but your gonna need to flash a kernel compatible with 4.3. There isn't one in this forum, but if you ask one of the rom devs on here really nicely they may provide a compatible kernel from one of their rom releases. Else your gonna have to re flash your rom..

there are NO 4.3 kernels as of yet. I'm saying you need ask a dev to make you one,but I doubt they'll do it unless you ask really really nicely. Your most likely going to have to flash a whole rom..
AND NO HTC ONE AND HTC ONE MINI A VERY DIFFERENT. DO NOT USE ANY KERNEL UNLESS IT'S MADE FOR THE ONE MINI. OR YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE.

Personally I would only recommend the one I am currently using, as I haven't tried any others except WWE Stock 4.2.2 by trigger, which is the base of what I'm using, which is Magio R3 with the JMZ Kernel. I used the guide below which worked without problems. BUT BEFORE YOU DO MAYBE MAKE A POST ABOUT CHANGING FROM 4.3 TO 4.2.2 JUST BECAUSE I AM NO EXPERT, AND I'M UNSURE IF THERE COULD BE ISSUES WITH THIS? THOUGH I THINK IT SHOULD BE FINE.
Else stick with the 4.3 Stock ROM by Trigger though this is untested by me. Also skip the kernel installation if using the 4.3 ROM.
THE GUIDE:
Ecstacy42 said:
Don't do it if you don't feel comfortable.
1. Unlock your bootloader here. Select "All Other Supported Models" and follow the instructions.
2. Download the Rom, Kernel, and a recovery, verify the MD5 checksums, and then copy the rom and kernel zips to your internal SD card. I'd recommend one of the WWE versions as they don't have a lot of the AT&T bloat.
3. Boot into the bootloader (it says how in the guide showing you how to unlock your bootloader)
4. Select fastboot, plug your phone into your computer.
5. Type "fastboot devices" to make sure it's connected, then type "fastboot flash recovery whateverrecoveryyouused.img".
6. Boot into recovery. Make a backup. Then wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache.
7. Reboot into fastboot, then type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" using the boot.img from the Rom you downloaded.
8. Reboot into recovery and install the rom zip using TWRP/ClockworkMod.
9. Reboot into fastboot and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" using the boot.img from the kernel.
10. Reboot into recovery and flash the kernal zip.
11. Start up your phone, if you flashed a DeOdexed Rom it'll take a little while to boot up.
I'm not sure if you have to flash the boot.img from the rom, then flash it, then flash the boot.img from the kernel and then flash it, but it's best to follow the directions and avoid potentially causing problems.

ok thank you,
but when I have the rom for my htc one mini, how do I place it in the main storage ( as a zip ). It can boot properly and reboots before my computer can detect it.
And is this Magio r3 rom compatible with the htc on mini? On the website it is shown that it is for htc one XL. And it also says that the recovery has to be the TWRP recovery and I have the CWM recovery.
Thank you for your answer. :good:

Everything you need is here on the XDA, "HTC One mini" section. ONLY USE ROMS WHICH ARE SPECIFICALLY FOR THE "ONE MINI". NO OTHER. EVER.
Just use this one it's 4.3 stock. You flash it as a ZIP from either CWM or TWRP.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2575766
And read the OP!
Also once this is working. DON'T FLASH YOUR PHONE EVER AGAIN. YOU CLEARLY HAVEN'T READ UP ENOUGH AND DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR PHONE. No offense but do you really want a $500 paper weight?

But how do I flash the odex rom?
I already tried to flash the whole zip file with fastboot, but the file is too big. the cmd says Failed(remote:data lenght is too large).
So how do I bring this rom to recovery from my computer?
Thank you for your answer.

But How do I flash my rom.zip? I cannot flash it from fastboot because it shows an error message in the cmd : Failed(remote: data length is too high). How do I get this $%&%&## file on my recovery or how do I flash it directly from my computer. I already searched the web on how do I do this. But no detailed or specific answer to my problem.
Please explain it to me step by step again :good:

You need to "push" the zip to your internal memory. Put your zip in your ADB fastboot folder on your computer. Then use command "adb push romname.zip /mnt/sdcard/". Then install the zip from cwm or twrp recovery. And flash the boot.img from zip with ADB fastboot...

I tried adb push but the cmd didn't reconize it. It says (from german, I try to translate it) : the order adb push is either wrong writen or it couldn't be found. So how do I use or reactivate adb push ? or maybe there is another way to push the file in the htc ( for example with a program ).
Thanks in advance

Does the command "ADB devices" without the "" show your device listed?
