HTC one x question about twrp

Hello. I am new to the HTC one x coming previously from an HTC inspire. I am with att. I followed the directions and unlocked the bootloader. I have been reading and noticed S-Off is still being worked on. I'm Confused on what my next step is to load a custom ROM. Sorry I know this has probably been answered but I'm still confused. Can I do the next set of steps without a computer and just do it from my phone? I downloaded an app called recovery manager not sure of that will help me out. Thanks for any help you guys can provide. I'm on 2.20 and 4.0.4 thanks again.

I think at that time after unlock of the bootloader you will need to install a recovery software the one we use is TWRP i would stick with 2.2.0.0 and install it thought goomanager that is avaliable though the play store.
Instructions : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677447

To use goomanager I need to be rooted though right?I don't think I'm rooted. Farthest I have gotten so far is unlocking the bootloader. And I'm not sure what to do after that. I'm not sure if I can do the rest from my phone (which I hope I can). Thanks ks for your help.

Do you absolutely have to flash SuperSU to flash ROMs? Can you just go right from TWRP and flash a rooted ROM and be considered as "rooted"?
Thanks

You can just flash a custom ROM, which will have SuperSU or SU cooked in. Only need to flash SuperSU if you want to stay on stock ROM and have root.

you made your situation sound different. the steps i take is use my token, flash recovery, then flash a rom or supersu depending if i want a custom rom or keep using stock.

Can't Flash ROMs? MOTO noob

I have had 3 lovely sessions with rsd and can't seem to successfully flash a ROM. I've mounted the system prior and I haven't mounted. My BL has been unlocked and I'm used to the CWM recovery. Any suggestions? Newest Verizon ota. Rooting with the Batman utility. Thanks in advance.

The first thing you need to do is unlock the boot loader.

Secondly, install TWRP, I find it much easier to use than CWM.

Put the ROM and gapps on your external SD. Boot into TWRP. Back up the stock rom. Wipe data. Then install the new ROM. Then install gapps.

I am sure there is much more detailed threads on how to do this, but that is the quick answer.

Just as the instructions state:
Install: TWRP custom recovery is recommended
1. Reboot to TWRP custom recovery
2. Wipe/Factory reset if coming from another ROM
3. Flash ROM
4. Reboot
5. Enjoy, First boot will take 5 to 10 minutes
You may want to flash a sense ROM first and get a lock on GPS, some people have had an issue with GPS on GPE ROM, however I didn't have this issue, but I did come from a Sense ROM.
You are already on Sense ROM, so just do a lock on GPS, make sure it works, then go ahead, flash custom recovery TWRP, download the ROM of choice, reboot to recovery, wipe, flash ROM.

Thank you. So just to make sure I am on sense stock and from here just install twrp and wipe and flash rom? Do I need to worry about installing a different firmware?

You don't need root to install custom recovery.. Just S-OFF.
have you looked at the TWRP thread?
You need to know how to use adb and fastboot
Reboot to fastboot
Put custom twrp.img in adb folder
Run cmd:
Fastboot flash recovery nameoffile.img
A little research goes along way..
Google and searching is your friend.

That link doesn't have anything to do with flashing custom ROMs via fastboot.
That link discusses installing TWRP and then using TWRP to install the ROM.
Let me clarify my previous response. Custom ROM .zip files can't be flashed via fastboot but you can the system.img from the ROM zip and then use fastboot to flash the system.img.

Alright, but my main question is how can I install TWRP on a Sony Xperia M C1905? I've searched the guy's post that says that I can't flash it via fastboot or flashtool but I don't get it how will I get TWRP to run using the FOTAkernel method without any pre-installed recovery.
I've not tested it with the official TWRP app yet but I have tried it with rashr with no success.
Oh, and if I use fastboot to flash "system.img" from a ROM, will the device run with the new firmware or do I need to do extra things besides that?
(I have an unlocked bootloader, android version 4.3 and rooted firmware.)

If the device is already rooted, you should be able to flash a copy of TWRP for your device via the Flashify app.
Things weren't that complicated in the days of 4.3, you shouldn't have any special conditions to worry with.

I've tested flashify and when I pressed on flash TWRP, it did nothing.
I tried to select the file manually and it told me that I'm not able to flash recoveries because it could not find the recovery partition.
One more question: that guy said that I'm not able to flash TWRP using the stock ROM.
How is it going to work?

Here is the TWRP page for your device here at XDA. Read the first three posts, it explains things.

I tried doing it within the app but it said that an error occurred.
Is it because I've installed on internal storage?
I've also tried it with rashr and it said that it completed but the phone rebooted back to normal.
Also, should I flash TWRP to the BOOT partition?
EDIT
Thank you for helping me! I flashed TWRP on the boot partition and it worked!
I didn't care about the firmware because I was going to flash a new one anyway.
