I did the following steps to install recovery. Feel free to do this at your own risk.
My thanks to AndroidHero, Vertigo and Shingers5 for Touch recovery and rooting zip files.
1) Unlock Bootloader (if it locked goto htcdev.com site and follow all steps)
2) Download .zip file and Extract recovery_for_1.28.img from the .zip
3) Copy recovery_for_1.28.img to the same folder as fastboot.exe
4) Select usb debugging (settings>develope option)
5) Connect phone with usb cable to pc and select charge only
6) Goto android-sdk folder and then into platform-tools
7) Shift & Right Click and select open command window here
8) type 'adb reboot bootloader' <enter> (without quotes)
9) In the command window type fastboot flash recovery recovery_for_1.28.img
10) type Exit and disconnect phone
11) reboot the phone.
This recovery is touch recovery and seems to be in its crude form but functional.
If you want to root your phone then do the following,
search for this file CWM-SuperSU-v0.88 and copy to the root directory of your phone and flash using zip from sd card option. You will find this file on the last line.
Goto android-sdk folder and then into platform-tools
Shift & Right Click and select open command window here
type adb reboot-bootloader <enter>
Select fastboot
Select Recovery (Using vol down)
Select install zip from sdcard
Select install from zip file
Scroll down to the place where you copied your CWM-SuperSU-v0.88 file and select it
It will do the root
reboot
Download root checker app from play store and check if you are rooted.
This worked for me. Your comment will be highly appreciated, and do not forget to click my Thanks Meter.

((Section 1
1. Make a new folder on desktop called 'Downgrade'
2. Download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...5&d=1339391278
3. Make a new folder in 'Downgrade' called 'Downgrade Kit'
4. Extract the download into 'Downgrade Kit'
5. Now you should have a folder called 'Downgrade' on your desktop, inside that should be another folder called 'Downgrade Kit', inside that there should be a folder called 'files' and a program called 'runme.cmd'.
6. Make a new folder inside 'Downgrade' called 'RUU'
7. Download this and save it to folder 'RUU': http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0af...308_signed.exe
8. Connect phone to computer, and choose ‘Charge Only’ not ‘Disk Drive’. Enable USB Debugging, and disable Fastboot (If you don’t know how to, ask Dr. Google)
9. Open runme.cmd, it will ask questions! Answer according to your phone not mine! The questions are (If I can remember) i) Do you have root? I answered n. ii) Have you unlocked through htcdev.com? I answered no. iii) Do you want to create a goldcard? I answered y
10. After it successfully completes (if it doesn’t post below) run the RUU in the RUU folder (Remember it erases all data so if you need to, backup everything) , it will take around 10 mins. BE PATIENT!
11. After it installs check if your HBOOT has been downgraded! It should be 1.13.0000!

1. Go to (revolutionary.io) and scroll down to hit ‘Downloads for Windows’ (But keep the website open)
2. Download and extract the .zip to a folder
3.Fill in the boxes for the beta key (on the revolutionary website)
You should fill it out like this
Your Operating System: Windows/Linux (Depending on yours)
Your Device: HTC Incredible S
HBOOT Version: 1.13.0000
Serial Number: (Your serial number)
4. Copy and paste that beta key into a notepad file and save it to the desktop! Beware copy and recheck if it matches

6. Run revolutionary.exe
7. When it asks you to input beta key, do it!
8. When it asks you whether you want to flash Clockwork Mod Recovery, type y
9. Once it is done, the cmd will close
10. Confirm that you have S – Off in the bootloader!
11. So far so good!
12. Reboot into bootloader if you are not and then open up recovery, it should go to Clockwork Mod Recovery
13. While phone is in Clockwork Mod, connect phone to computer
14. Select Mounts and Storage by using the volume buttons to move and power to select.
15. Then select mount sdcard (the sd card directory should pop up on your computer screen)
16. Download the root .zip file and save it to your computer (do NOT extract it) (http://d-h.st/yzV)
17. Copy the root .zip file to the root of your sdcard and wait for it to transfer (not in any folders, just on the sd card itself).

I tried to follow this guide 2-3 times but whenever i run runme.cmd it asks me if i my phone is rooted. I say y and then it gets stuck at "Downgrading". If i disconnect USB, it asks about the gold card but it doesn't get downgraded.

Hey guys
I want to flash my Firmeware after i unlocked my Bootloader and rooted my phone. What are the steps to do so on MAC computers?
I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone few days ago by the following steps on my Mac sucessfully:
http://htconeroot.com/htc-one-root/how-to-root-htc-one-windowsmaclinux/
Step 1. First, go to Settings->Developer options and make sure USB debugging is checked ON.
Step 2. Connect a micro-USB cable from your HTC One to your computer.
Step 3. Download HTCOneRoot.zip and unzip to HTCOneRoot directory. This zip file contains everything you need to root your HTC One!
Step 4. Open a command prompt/terminal on your computer and type:
cd Downloads
cd HTCOneRoot
chmod 755 *
./adb-mac backup -apk -all -f backup.ab
Step 5. Go to your phone and choose “Backup up my data”. This will back up all of your app and app data.
Step 6. Once app backup is done, go to Settings->Power and make sure Fast boot is checked OFF.
Step 7. Turn off your HTC One. Then hold down Volume Down and Power buttons together for about 3-5 seconds until you see bootloader menu.
-Hit the Power button to enter Fastboot mode
-Connect micro-USB cable from your HTC One to your computer.
Step 8. Type the following in your command prompt/terminal:
./fastboot-mac oem get_identifier_token
Step 9. Copy the identifier token you get exactly as shown below (or see video tutorial).
Step 10. Go to HTCDev.com and log-in. If you don’t have an account, register then log-in.
Click on “Unlock Bootloader” then “Get Started”.
Step 11. Choose “All Other Supported Models” then click on “Begin Unlock Bootloader”.
Step 12. Choose “Yes”.
Step 13. Make sure check boxes are checked ON and click on “Proceed to Unlock Instructions”.
Step 14. Scroll all the way to the bottom and click on “Proceed to Step 5″.
Step 15. Scroll all the way to the bottom and click on “Proceed to Step 8″.
Step 16. Scroll all the way to the bottom and paste your token you copied over earlier. Make sure there’s no white spaces or INFO (if using MAC/Linux).
Step 17. Hit “Submit” and if you copied and pasted the token correctly, you should get a success message.
Step 18. Check your e-mail and you should have received Unlock_code.bin file from HTC.com.
Step 19. Download and copy the Unlock_code.bin file to the HTCOneRoot folder.
Step 20. Next type in command prompt/terminal:
./fastboot-mac flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
Step 21. Go to your phone and choose “Yes” using Volume Up button then hit the Power button. Your HTC One will reboot in about 5 seconds.
Step 22. Once rebooted, your HTC One should be completely wiped and you should get Welcome message just like the day you got your phone. Sign in through the setup process then copy the CWM-SuperSU-v1.30.zip file in HTCOneRoot folder to anywhere on your HTC One’s internal storage.
Step 23. Power off your phone then re-boot into bootloader menu to fastboot mode like you did in Step 7.
Step 24. Type the following to install recovery:
For HTC One M7 (AT&T/T-Mobile/International/Unlocked/Developer)
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7.img
Then Type:
./fastboot-mac erase cache
Step 25. Choose “Bootloader” and hit the Power button.
Step 26. Choose “Recovery” and hit the Power button.
Step 27. Once in TWRP recovery, choose “Install”.
Step 28. Choose the file CWM-SuperSU-v1.30.zip.
Step 29. Swipe to flash this file. This will root your HTC One by installing SuperSU superuser app and SU binaries.
Step 30. Choose “Reboot System” to reboot.
Step 31. Once rebooted, you will find “SuperSU” app in your app drawer. Congratulations! You’ve successfully rooted your HTC One! You can verify full root by installing a rooted app like Titanium Backup app.
My question:
How do I now flash a new Firmware on it? I know I have to relock my bootloader and then i can flash the firmware.
But what are the concrete steps in terminal and on the phone to relock and flash firmeware and for expample Revoultion HD on it?
Here I found the firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182823
I would be grateful for any help

You would download the Mini-SDK folder which has fastboot and adb files inside and place it on the desktop. You would then open up a terminal window and navigate to that folder "cd /Users/yourusername/Desktop/nameoftheSDKfolder and then you would type fastboot and/or commands just as you would on Windows. I think the command for locking the bootloader is fastboot oem lock.
This is how you setup fastboot and ADB on your Mac: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917237
Read the guide carefully and it will be a piece of cake. Download the "android.zip" file attached in the thread and place the folder on Desktop, do not download the big Android-SDK file (the guide will instruct you to do that anyway).
This is a step by step guide to root Nexus 5
PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP of your files on your internal storage.
Unlocking bootloader will ERASE EVERYTHING.
Download the file below
http://d-h.st/YGm
Step1: go to Settings->About Phone > hit the “Build Number” until you get “You are now a developer”.
Step2: go to Settings->“Developer options and turn ON “USB debugging” .
Step3: Connect the device to computer.
Step4: For Windows,we need to install drivers.
Right click on My computer and select Manage and select Device Manager
you should see something like nexus 5,
now double click on that and select update drivers..
choose Browse my computer for device software > let me pick from a list > select install from disk >set path to usb_driver file in
extracted folder.
Now you should see something like Android ADB Interface..(do it again if you dont see this)
Step5: Next, open command prompt(win+r > cmd) and type: cd downloads ( or wherever you have downloaded the file to )
cd Nexus5
adb devices
you should get : 'list of devices attached'
some code and " device"
if you don't get this and instead get offline,then check USB debugging is enabled or not and reconnect the device and install drivers again
in device manager(step4)
Step6: Turn off your Nexus 5.Then hold down Volume Down and Power buttons together for 3 seconds until you see the bootloader menu.
Step7: Connect the cable again and open Device Manager and install drivers again( step 4)
This is because you connected the device in another mode and hence pc recognizes it as a new device
Step8: . Go to command prompt and type: fastboot oem unlock
Step9: Go to your Nexus 5 screen and use Volume buttons to select “Yes” and hit the Power button. This WILL ERASE EVERYTHING
and unlock the bootloader.
Step10: Your phone reboots and you get the welcome screen like the day you unboxed it..
Step11: Now log in with a account and connect it to computer and copy the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip file to internal storage.
Step12: Power off your Nexus 5. Then hold Volume Down and Power buttons together until you see the bootloader menu then connect
USB cable from Nexus 5 to your computer.
Step13: Go to command prompt and type: fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-hammerhead.img (for TWRP)
OR
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.4-hammerhead.img (for CWM)
Step14: Next, use Volume buttons on your Nexus 5 and choose “Recovery mode” and hit the Power button.
Step15: Once in CWM or TWRP recovery, choose “Install zip from sdcard” or “Install”. (choose “choose zip from sdcard” for CWM.)
Step16: Browse your internal storage and find the file UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip. Install this file to root your Nexus 5.
Now your Nexus 5 is ROOTED.
Step17: Next, choose “reboot” from main menu of CWM or TWRP recovery.
:good:Your NEXUS 5 is now ROOTED:good:

Can you share what sort of error messages you are getting? Screenshots, copy and paste, something? It'll give us a good starting point.

Is your bootloader unlocked?
If so....
you need to put a copy of twrp in the adb/fastboot folder on your pc
Copy these files provided below on to your sdcard
1. twrp
2.SuperSU,
3. opengapps,
4. ROM/ROMs
to avoid mistakes name TWRPXXXXXXXXX TO recovery.img and SUPERSUXXXXXXX TO Supersu.zip
1. Activate developer settings by entering the about section and tapping build number 7 times.
2. Enter your developer settings and MAKE sure you have 'Allow OEM unlock' and 'USB Debugging' enabled.
4. download Minimal ADB and Fastboot and install it....Y ....Y .Y ...... ( yes yes yes )http://www.devfiles.co/download/P4Yv....4.1_setup.exe
5. Once the Command window is linked to the folder adb connect your device via USB and allow the connection.
This is hardest step for most.
Adb will be installed c:/minimal adb and fastboot
Open command prompt
Type " CD.." Without quotes till you are in C:/ directory
Once you are in C:/ directory you type "dir" without quotes
There will be a folder named Minimal adb and fastboot
Now type
"CD Minimal adb and fastboot" without quotes
You are now in the adb folder
6. On the command window type 'adb reboot bootloader' and the device should reboot with the fastboot options on the upper left of the phone screen
7. Once again on the command window type 'fastboot oem unlock' and the command window should say OKAY and complete the action.
8. To Confirm that the device is unlocked type 'fastboot getvar unlock' and the window should respond with 'Unlock: YES'
9. Now download the latest available TWRP and drop it into c:/minimal adb and fastboot
10. On your Command Window type 'fastboot flash recovery "NAME OF TWRP FILE" if you get the error ' cannot load recovery' you need to add .img to the end of the filename (name of twrp in this case will be recovery.img to make things easy)
11. Once the process completes you will see 'target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (32968 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.088s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time:'
THE FAILED UNKNOWN COMMAND NOTICE CAN BE IGNORED
12. Once the process completes the device may not let you enter recovery from the traditional method using the buttons on the back of the phone so the easiest method is to, on your command window, type
'fastboot boot recovery.img' and the device should respond within just a few seconds and reboot into TWRP.
13. Once the device reboots, enter twrp
THIS IS WHERE IT GEETS CONFUSING
* this will boot twrp on the phone itself, YOU WILLL NOW FLASH TWRP onto your device from sdcard
In TWRP hit Install > Images... (bottom right corner) > select recovery.img on ext sdcard > select "recovery" > swipe.
This time you are flashing it onto your device. You only entered it before
Power off
To enter twrp you will
1. Press power and volume down
2. While holding volume down release power and press power again
3. Select yess >power button
4. Select yes > power button
NOW that you have custom recovery installed and you are in TWRP(custom recovery)
Say goodbye to your LG recovery....
Select BACKUP
Make a backup of everything ....save it to sdcard.
NEXT ...
Select WIPE....WIPE EVERYTHING......GOODBYE LG ROM. We backed it up step before
Flash the ROM you put on your sdcard (press install .....select sdcard....install ROM you downloaded)
Press back
Flash open gapps (press install .....select sdcard....install gapps you downloaded)
Press back
Flash Supersu (press install .....select sdcard....install ROM you downloaded
14. Once the process completes successfully, wipe cache to be safe and reboot your device.
YOUR DEVICE WILL NOW LOOP FROM FLASHING SUPERSU
ROM INSTALATION WILL TAKE 5-10 min
15. Resetup your device and restore your data if necessary and install a root checker from Google Play to confirm root!
Enjoy!
After typing fastboot oem unlock
Nothing working... In command it showing some error like cant find or such a things...... Cant do anything.. Tried.. Is there any other solutions...

Can you copy and paste the error to here on xda or post a screenshot? It would help if we knew exactly what it was doing.
Kudos to you for documenting a comprehensive and clear procedure for rooting this device... regardless if the advice was used.

The h811 Has an unlocked bootloader.
Go into settings, then developer settings and enable bootloader unlock.
Then follow any guide for rooting a Nexus 5x.

Is your bootloader unlocked?
If so....
you need to put a copy of twrp in the adb/fastboot folder on your pc
Copy these files provided below on to your sdcard
1. twrp
2.SuperSU,
3. opengapps,
4. ROM/ROMs
to avoid mistakes name TWRPXXXXXXXXX TO recovery.img and SUPERSUXXXXXXX TO Supersu.zip
1. Activate developer settings by entering the about section and tapping build number 7 times.
2. Enter your developer settings and MAKE sure you have 'Allow OEM unlock' and 'USB Debugging' enabled.
4. download Minimal ADB and Fastboot and install it....Y ....Y .Y ...... ( yes yes yes )http://www.devfiles.co/download/P4Yv....4.1_setup.exe
5. Once the Command window is linked to the folder adb connect your device via USB and allow the connection.
This is hardest step for most.
Adb will be installed c:/minimal adb and fastboot
Open command prompt
Type " CD.." Without quotes till you are in C:/ directory
Once you are in C:/ directory you type "dir" without quotes
There will be a folder named Minimal adb and fastboot
Now type
The link is down so I have been looking up the latest versions of everything. So far I have found:
*
"CD Minimal adb and fastboot" without quotes
You are now in the adb folder
6. On the command window type 'adb reboot bootloader' and the device should reboot with the fastboot options on the upper left of the phone screen
7. Once again on the command window type 'fastboot oem unlock' and the command window should say OKAY and complete the action.
8. To Confirm that the device is unlocked type 'fastboot getvar unlock' and the window should respond with 'Unlock: YES'
9. Now download the latest available TWRP and drop it into c:/minimal adb and fastboot
10. On your Command Window type 'fastboot flash recovery "NAME OF TWRP FILE" if you get the error ' cannot load recovery' you need to add .img to the end of the filename (name of twrp in this case will be recovery.img to make things easy)
11. Once the process completes you will see 'target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (32968 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.088s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time:'
THE FAILED UNKNOWN COMMAND NOTICE CAN BE IGNORED
12. Once the process completes the device may not let you enter recovery from the traditional method using the buttons on the back of the phone so the easiest method is to, on your command window, type
'fastboot boot recovery.img' and the device should respond within just a few seconds and reboot into TWRP.
13. Once the device reboots, enter twrp

The link is down so I have been looking up the latest stuff. So far I have:
* SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815
* twrp-3.0.2-0-h811
* open_gapps-arm-6.0-stock-20180401
* I also have found: open_gapps-arm-8.0-stock-20180401
Which one should I use Open-Gapps 6.0 or Open-Gapps 8.0
My phone is h81120x with 6.0.
I want to get my phone up to rooted, custom rom, with 8.0
* adb and fastboot
Use Open-Gapps 6.0 for Marshmallow
To regain root is easy.
Make sure you backup the phone just in case.
Copy root of you choice to external SD
Locate you TWRP and boot to bootloader.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
In bootloader
Code:
fastboot boot
Press space once at the end, drag and drop TWRP file, and press Enter
Install root of your choice in TWRP
That's it
Thanks so much... Working for me after a full day trying... Thanks
