Hey guys. Im trying to root this thing and i have followed these steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439 and I used odin to flash the VRALEC Bootchain and then the TWRP recovery. odin said everything went fine. now when I try to boot into recovery it goes to the generic recovery mode. its not the TWRP recovery. from here i cannot flash the SUPERSU + unlocked bootloader. everytime i try i get a signature verification failure. can i try to flash TWRP or CWM? will it mess anything up since ive already flashed TWRP once? What should I do? Thank you
If u r rooted I suggest downloading GooManager from the play store. Open the app click the menu button and choose install openrecoveryscript. This Will install TWRP automatically. After that choose reboot recovery in GooManager. Remember you must be rooted and GooManager must have root.

Also if you aren't on VRBMF1 just go to the stickies and grab the flashable zip.

Sadly I am on VRBMF1 I've really only flashed the VRALEC Bootchain so i dont think I am rooted yet. I think flashing the SUPERSU is what actually roots. I just checked with a root checker ap and I'm not rooted yet.

but the problem is, I cant flash it. everytime I try I get a "Signature Verification Failed" I think TWRP didn't flash correctly. So I'm wondering if its safe to just try to use odin to try to flash CWM recovery over the TWRP

Okay so the weirdest thing. After I flashed CWM over TWRP I booted into recovery and TWRP started. I flashed the SUPERSU but it didn't ask me to disable recovery flash. Everything seems to be running alright. I have root access now but will not disabling recovery flash turn out to bite me when I try to flash a rom?
What is recovery flash? Is that a CWM thing? If you are using TWRP then TWRP doesn't have that option. You will be fine. Also can u hit the "thanks" button so I know I helped you

Hello all. I recently updated and everything went fine my phone booted after the update and I ran 10.2/4.3 for about a week. I then rebooted my phone but it hangs / freezes on the screen with the Samsung Galaxy Siii logo and cid the cyanogenmod guy. I rebooted several times with the same result. I had been wanting to try out the dirty unicorns rom so I installed that, it boots fine, runs fine but as soon as I try to reboot I get stuck on the cid screen, I have to format my memory on the phone and reinstall a rom. For some reason twrp is not able to wipe all the memory that is why I had to format it. If I reboot I have to go through the process again. Has any one seen this before?
Got to Odin, Odin, Odin.....Oweee Oh.

I am not sure what you mean. I am not trying to flash a tar/samsung rom, witch is what odin is for, correct? . I have been running CM for about a year. I am flashing zip roms.
on my phone I lost root permissions after I rebooted from clockworkmod. while trying to reboot clockworkmod said from rebooting stock recovery may be installed and root permissions may be lost. I disagreed to both. Rom manager still says I have clockworkmod installed. How do I get root back? Can I just CF auto root again?

thanks so much! Seems to have worked
I rooted on HTC ONE SV
Moonshine s-off
k2cl
Boost mobile
everything was fine till i installed a apk to control system settings then it went into boot loop
i've "adb flashed boot.img from a boost rom and sideloaded it threw CMWrecovery.
It's been flashing system for an hour and a half.
is there a boot, recovery and rom that will fix this problem, even if its stock.
all keep seeing is the recovery and boot.img
i want to put everything back the way it was stock or not
WHAT SHOULD I DID I'M AT A LOSS !!!
Please Help, Thanks in advance
@angelus9151
You can't flash a boot.img via sideload and you can't flash a boot.img via adb. Has to be with fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Your boot.img is most likely fine, you just need to restore your system partition. Did you make a backup of your device using your custom recovery? If so, then you need to restore using that backup. Otherwise, I can provide a link to either my TWRP backup (not CWM compatible), an RUU, or my deodexed Rom. Your choice. First, if you already have a backup made up, then apply it. Otherwise, let me know.

Sorry about that yah i took the boot.img out of the (K2CLCconversionN) Rom and flashed it via fast boot "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
My only problem now is finding a rom that will work with data on the K2CL Boost one.
Thanks
@angelus9151
Download, and run this on your windows computer. Your device will need to be plugged in via usb to your computer also.

Just a pointer from someone who used to use CWM if you flash twrp recovery its a lot cleaner, with more options than CWM. since your going back stock I would recommend flashing twrp recovery in place of CWM

I had TWRP on before CWM but even when i would load that it would still bootloop thats why i used CWM. Just one question if i want to root it again without a system control app this time will i be able to use this exe file to restore it if it happens again. it took me a year before i tried it because the first time there was no roms and i bootlooped that HTC one SV and had to fork over $300.00 bucks for a new one but i figured that i would root it because of busybox.
Again Thanks...Your a life saver if this works.I'll let you know when i'm done

Its an ruu, an ruu is about as legit as you are going to get when it comes to restoring your phone. So yes, it will work . If your phone bootlooped when you flashed twrp in the past then my guess is that you either used the wrong fastboot commands and wrote it to another partition by accident, or you used a TWRP that was not presumably built for your phone and thus used another TWRP designed for another device.

If you are about to do something to your phone, make sure you know exactly what you are doing, why you are doing it, how it works, why it works, should I make a mistake what are my escape routes, and if all else fails - plan B. If none of these are set to mind then I recommend you do absolutely nothing to your phone until you actually understand its method.

In lamen terms, if you cannot stand in front of a class and teach them the concept behind the madness then you yourself probably shouldn't be dancing on thin ice either because you may sink and drown
Dont hesitate to ask a question on here before proceeding further if there is something you do not fully understand.

Thank you for everything. This is forth phone I've rooted a phone. First three where easy : evo 4g, galaxy 3s, galaxy prevail. But this was tricky not as many rims out there for it. Again thank you. Now that I fixed it I'm going root it again just no system tweaking apps for me
Hi, So i just bought this device and I've looked all over the internet to root my htc one sv on BOOST mobile. I unlocked the bootloader but then must have been following the wrong guide and flashed a wrong recovery or something. I can boot just not into recovery, it gets stuck "entering recovery". Does anyone know a recent and more updated way to root this device?! Thank you so much in advance!

My Nexus S have been messed up for a while now cos Google apps would never work on it, so I decided to factory reset and wipe my Nexus S clean, then root it to install a new rom. I factory reset, wipe, and rooted it but when I went to install rom manager to install a new rom, I can't install anything from the market. I've download the rom manager apk and placed it in a file but I can't access it since there is no app to browse files on the device.
Also I can't get service on the phone for some reason and airplane mode keeps turning on itself.

Follow the steps above to get a working recovery running. Then Flash a Custom Rom by "install zip from SD Card".
Important: Flash the correct GAPPS right after flashing the Rom. If there`re still Problems, try to fix permissions in recoverys Options
Thanks everyone I managed to install a new rom (Illusion) and everything is working fine.
