When I download the recovery from my phone it downloads as a txt file. Do I rename it to recovery.img and push it that way.

Glad you got it working. To answer the question about .txt on the phone, others have reported that using a different browser works for downloading the .img file correctly. I think they used Dolphin browser from the market.

I tried method 2 and method 3 above without success. Trying to go from 2.5.0.1 to 3.0.0.5. Attempts to boot into recovery and then reboots again and boots normally. Suggestions?

Try the ADB method?

don't flash the 3.0.0.5, you don't need it for GB. the reason I think people have been having so much trouble is that the recovery is overclocked, so some phones can't handle it. same thing goes for the GB rom, if it loops and hangs etc., just flash a capped 691 kernel after the rom and gapps, it *should* work.
OK NOW - TO ALL FUTURE POSTS - PLEASE DON'T, LOL.
AOSP MADE THIS RECOVERY AND IS CONSTANTLY UPDATING IT
3.0.0.5 CAN BE FOUND IN THE 2.3 GINGERBREAD THREAD
INSTALL METHODS CAN BE FOUND ON THE THREAD "READ ME" WIKI,
DIFFERENT VERSIONS CAN BE FOUND ON ROMREPO.INFO

ok Koush did, I know, but the version we are using is tweaked by him.
would you correct me if I said he made his rom, because technincally google MADE it, but he did in fact tweak it,build it,compile it, for the hero.
@aiwetir - 768

Method III worked fine for me. Just follow instructions carefully, and don't forget to do "su" first (lets terminal use root privileges).
I'm curious why RomManager doesn't update the version number. I know I'm using 3.0.0.5 because of the new orange text, but RomManager still shows 2.5.0.1
Anyone?

[Q] Rooting on a Mac

Hey,
I just did the 2.20 root method posted about a week ago, and I got to the white screen without a problem. I did the htc-dev stuff, and that worked too. I pressed Yes and unlocked my bootloader (or so I thought). I flashed TWRP recovery. However, I couldn't do anything else. My phone runs normally, but I checked and it is not rooted. I realize that the new 2.20 method is a temporary root, and I checked in its thread, and was pointed to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952426. That isn't for Mac, and I wasn't able to find any way to root a 2.20 HOX, install SU, install a ROM, etc.
I installed a rom and all that on my old phone, a Motorola Atrix, without too many problems, so I'm not completely illiterate. Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thanks!

no, because i don't know how to do it. should i flash it using fastboot (while the phone is in white screen)? if so, what file do I flash? I got a SU zip, but I'm not sure what to do with it. But I can confirm that I've installed twrp correctly, because I can go to twrp from the white screen by using the volume up/volume down buttons and the power button and going to Recovery.
Thanks for your help

reboot in recovery/twrp. install your su.zip (don't know where you got your su.zip and what it contains whether it has both the su binaries and Superuser apk ). Reboot. if you don't have Superuser apk download it from the market (chainfire version). Voila.

Okay, a couple more questions. Where should I get the su zip? I googled it and found a directory of a bunch of different versions of SU, but it hadnt been updated since like July. Also, what command do I use to install the su.zip?
./fastboot.OSX flash recovery su.zip doesn't work. I'm just now realizing that I should download it to phone memory and install in recovery from there.

1. you told me you had an su.zip !! anyway: http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip
2. I said reboot in twrp/recovery (do not flash su.zip in fastboot) and hit the install menu, select the su.zip and swipe to flash
3. go back to main menu and hit reboot and then system
4. download SuperSu.apk from chainfire in the Market
5. open it, it'll probably ask you if you want to update the binaries, go ahead and do so.
You should be good to go.

Yeah, I had it, but I wasn't sure if I had the right one. I did and its all straight now. I was able to install su via twrp and everything worked. I now have root access. One last question (and I realize I've asked a lot of you guys, and I do really appreciate all your help), do I need to take any special steps or precautions when installing custom roms? On my atrix I just saved them to memory and then installed via cwm

[Q] TWRP No OS installed

So apparently I messed something up and wiped my internal storage and get stuck at the HTC boot screen. TWRP is telling me I have no OS installed and i cant find the right files. I have the boost mobile version K2_CL. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be awesome!

The reason why i asked, the TWRP posted here on xda is not for boost, k2u and k2ul only.
There are other partitions, thats maybe the reason why you deleted your system.
So first, use a recovery that works for boost, look here.

Not really, Boost-Disable-WP.zip is not a rom, its a kernel patch.
You only get the recovery from there.
Try this link for rom, but i didn't tested it myself.
If it don't boot try to use this kernel.
Flash recovery in fastboot, then boot into recovery and install the rom from sd card. If you are s-on you need to flash boot.img also with fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
If this won't work, you need to find someone who gives you a backup for your phone.

[Q] HTC One & Mini not recognized on pc in fastboot

Hi All
Now a proud owner of HTC One mini (uk) but am having issues trying to unlock bootloader, root and install custom rom.
for some reason my PC will not recognize my mini in fastboot mode . i have re installed the usb drivers and even tried to connect my wifes HTC one which i have previously rooted ...but it will not connect to either of the two.
I would be grateful if the community could offer a solution or advice, Thanks
oh forgot to say pc running windows 8.1
Edit: I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 on the portal. it has ADB,FASTBOOT and DRIVERS needed . Not tried it myself as reverted to windows 7 however, many users confirming that it works on win 8 & 8.1.
I hope this helps, any thanks is given to the developer "Snoop05" as i am just posting the link.
cheers

Search around to see if you can find a updated version? Let me explain to you how I did it. First, I unlocked my bootloader. Second, I downloaded the twrp and magiorom r3. Third hold shift and right click on the flashboot folder that you downloaded from htcdev and click on the open command window here. Rename you twrp to recovery. If your twrp file says img on it then try recovery.img, if not then type recovery. And on the cmd type flashboot flash recovery.img. Then you go back to bootloader and go to recovery and follow all the steps on the magiorom link. Don't forget to thank me. And btw, I didn't have to download any of those adb files. You root your phone when you have twrp. It'll ask you if you want to root. Say yes!!!!

Endless bootloop?

Hey guys just got my nexus yesterday and rooted today...my issue/question is after I flashed the lastest build I seem to be stuck in an endless bootloop I really need my phone so any help would be awesome. I've tried mounting the usb via CWM but that seems to not work at all. Does anyone else know a way I could get my phone to load or push a different file to flash? I'll probablly post this in Q&A or General as well but I thought I'd give it a shot here first!
Thanks in advance.:good:

How does one go about flashing TWRP though? I can't get my phone to mount USB storage in CWM nor can I get it boot to just download or transfer TWRP to it? Thanks for the quick reply btw

Copy file into the folder where you have fastboot.exe
Run cmd. Cd to that folder
Put phone in fastboot and connect to PC
"fastboot flash recovery (whatever the name of the recovery is).img" enter this in cmd.

Ummm... TWRP is a custom recovery LIKE CWM. Install it via Fastboot .
1. Boot into Bootloader
2. fastboot flash recovery namehere.img (in cmd)
3. Boot Into recovery
THEN follow the above instructions.
