[Q] can't install TWRP

Hello to all,
I tried to install TWRP on a bootloader unlocked stock HTC one, HBoot 1.44, S-On, CWS_001, version 1.26.502.10
and it just won't let me install TWRP. I keep trying to install and it keeps not letting me go into recovery and coming back to the OS.
Just wanted to backup my system before installing the latest 4.3 RUU (somewhat I don't get the OTA - living outside the US doesn't show that I have any update for the OS, and I don't want to loose all my data)
Any thoughts?

I've done this in addition to trying via emulator, flash app and Goo Manager and I cannot get TWRP to flash. I'm unlocked, S-off and Rooted Hboot 1.55 Sprint. Can anyone please help me? Trying to find what the problem could be. I backed up as a precaution with Titanium but.. I really want TWRP. I am not a total NOOB but I'm certainly only good at following instructions and I'm not under the complete understanding to figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

[Q] HTC One Brick?

Hi guys. Was just trying to install a 4.4 custom rom on my HTC One using CWM. I got into rrecovery mode and started trying to install the rom but it came up with an error saying it had aborted. I realised I hadn't made a backup so I thought I best do it in case anything goes wrong. I tried doing that and rebooting the phone. Now the HTC logo flashes on screen before flashing off and then the phone puts me back in recovery. Have I bricked this phone? If anyone can help me I can answer any more necessary questions.

You need TWRP 2.6.3.3 (or later) for 4.4 roms, also if you are using a GPE rom, then you need to be s-off.
Download from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 don't use a download manager, it will fail; download normally and check MD5 to make sure file is not corrupt,
go to bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, and flash it:
fastboot flash openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and install the ROM again.

Sorry I'm just panicking an awful lot. I'm a bit calmer now though so I'll crack on. I've got TWRP back up and I've tried to install the ROM but it keeps saying failed. Is therre any way to make my phone available to transfer to so I can try a different ROM?
EDIT: It seems I did make a backup with TWRP, I'm assuming that wouldn't show up on CWM? That seems to be working so I'll count myself lucky. I would very much like to get stock android 4.4 though so do you know of any detailed guides for getting that with TWRP on HTC one?
By the way THANK YOU SO MUCH for everything. I completely panicked and I would never have figured any of this out without your help. Thank you.

Unfortunately, TWRP and CWM backups aren't interchangeable but you can always flash back the proper recovery for the backup, and restore.

[SOLVED] E: Can't mount /cache/

I'm sorry to do this, but I don't know where to start. Here's what I did to get to where I'm at:
- previously running SlimBean flashed using TWRP
- Downloaded ROM Manager and it recommended installing CWM Recovery
- Followed prompts
- It installed CWM 6.0.4.8
- Booted back into ROM and used ROM Manager to attempt to flash SlimKat 4.4.2 build 6
- CWM wiped dalvik but then got hung up
- Now it keeps saying Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
I'm completely stuck. Can't figure out what to do next. Please help!!!

Have you tryed reflashing the recovery to rule out a faulty install of cwm?
I should say, have you tried reflashing cwm *through Fastboot* to rule out a faulty cwm install?

Use TWRP recovery, preferred is 2.6.3.3 although there are newer versions, enter recovery, wipe - format data, basically for some reason, fastboot erase cache wipes the cache into an un-readable format.
note: this will also erase your internal storage too, so if theres anything important you want on there, make sure you back it up first using the adb pull command.

Use the command "fastboot devices" from the bootloader with "fastbootUSB" highlighted. You can't use adb commands in the bootloader because adb is to interact with android, which is not running while in bootloader. Let me know if you get output with the "fastboot devices" command.
EDIT: I should specify, if you are trying to flash recovery from anywhere but the bootloader using fastboot commands (it sounds like you may be trying to flash recovery with adb commands), you are just doing it wrong. so lets get that sorted first.

you flash a custom recovery with fastboot commands not adb commands.

Got it!!! Thank you everyone for taking the time. I have a flight in a few hours and I was panicking!!!!
I grabbed universal drivers from here: download.clockworkmod.[com]/test/UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi (remove the brackets around .com)
Then my computer picked up the device and I was able to install TWRP. Clockworkmod recovery still doesn't work, no matter which version I tried. I'll stick with TWRP for now.
Thanks again!
EDIT: Well eff me, it wiped my internal storage. It must have done it after I flashed because that's where I grabbed the zip in the first place. That sucks...

did you format data inside twrp recovery, like I said above, that will erase your internal storage too, you will need to push a rom over to your internal storage now using adb and then flash it.

I didn't do so intentionally, but it's possible I did it without paying attention. I'm back to my system now so I'll just live with the loss. I flashed an existing ROM that I had in my Downloads folder once I was able to get into TWRP. It's just weird that folder is empty now.

So I'm guessing your stuck in the bootloader. This should be a fairly easy fix. I'm not available for Skype at the moment but as I say should be an easy fix.So lets get some prerequisite's out of the way first.
Do you have access to a pc with working adb/fastboot?
I see the bootloader is unlocked, is it running a custom recovery and if so which one (name and version please)

Once your up and running if you want to go back to stock you can use this Nandroid Backup http://www.htc1guru.com/2013/11/stock-backup-3-23-666-1/
Alternatively you could use it instead of the Rom in my other post but the push is a little more complicated. Where as once the device e is booting you can just drop the nandroid in the correct folder using MTP on your pc.

Your device has an Internal Sd card. But that stock zip I'd not a Rom, you can't flash it like a Rom. It a Nandroid Backup so it needs to be restored using TWRP.
You need to get TWRP to flash, try updating your your adb/fastboot. You can check your current version by typing
Code:
adb version
In the command window. Latest is 1.0.31 :good:

You don't need any of the tools you mentioned to root the m7. If the bootloader is unlocked just flash TWRP recovery with fastboot. Load into recovery then Reboot system. TWRP will then give you the option to root. Select yes.
Once it reboots launch the SuperSU app from your app draw to check binaries are upto date.
If binaries need updating again you will be prompted to select one of 2 options. Either should work fine but TWRP method is recommended.
That's it. Twrp can handle the entire rooting process for you

Ok well first of all you need an sdk on your pc. This is the software that allows you to manually flash things to your handset. Download one suitable for your pc os at the below link. And install it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
This will give you 2 command line protocol's "adb" and "fastboot"
Adb for use in recovery mode and while booted to Android (with usb debbugging enabled)
And fastboot for use only in the bootloader.
Once that's installed you can use fastboot to flash a custom recovery which can be used to root your stock Rom or flash custom roms as well as a whole host of other stuff.
Get the sdk setup boot the device to the bootloader and connect your usb cable and make sure the phone is in fastboot usb mode.
You should see and option for fastboot in the bootloader. If not but it says fastboot usb in red it's already in fastboot usb mode. Start your ask which will open a command window. And type this command
Code:
fastboot getvar all
This will give you a list of version information about your device. Which will show me which variant of m7 you have. We need to know this so you can know which files (Roms, Recovery) are safe for you to flash

Ok well first of all you need an sdk on your pc. This is the software that allows you to manually flash things to your handset. Download one suitable for your pc os at the below link. And install it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
This will give you 2 command line protocol's "adb" and "fastboot"
Adb for use in recovery mode and while booted to Android (with usb debbugging enabled)
And fastboot for use only in the bootloader.
Once that's installed you can use fastboot to flash a custom recovery which can be used to root your stock Rom or flash custom roms as well as a whole host of other stuff.
Get the ask setup boot the device to the bootloader and connect your usb cable and make sure the phone is in fastboot usb mode.
You should see and option for fastboot in the bootloader. If not but it says fastboot usb in red it's already in fastboot usb mode. Start your ask which will open a command window. And type this command
Code:
fastboot getvar all
This will give you a list of version information about your device. Which will show me which variant of m7 you have. We need to know this so you can know which files (Roms, Recovery) are safe for you to flash

next thing you need to do is flash TWRP Recovery.
Downloads here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
Download TWRP 2.8.5.0 And put the image file in your fastboot folder.
Connect fastboot usb in the bootloader the same as when you did the getvar all. Then flash it with fastboot
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m7.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
After it reboots select recovery from the bootloader menu and it will load TWRP. Then from the twrp menu choose Backup. And make a backup. Then reboot the device from twrp. You will get a notification asking if you want to install root. Select yes. The phone will reboot and will be rooted :good:

If you have used the link above to install adb and fastboot (minimal adb and fastboot) then your fastboot folder is the installation folder of "minimal adb and fastboot" most likely C:/programs/minimal adb and fastboot/save_your_recovery_here

I put the img in that folder..connected to usb started bootloader.flashed with those code ,rebooted then i selected recovery and loaded TWRP.i did choose backup and made a backup.after 100% backup it showed reboot below..i pressed on it and phone reboots...it never asked for installing root
Wot did i miss? Whole of process was done connecting usb.that really make the problem?

Boot in recovery again and from the main menu select "reboot" then "reboot to system" it should ask you for root, not sure if it should ask for root when rebooting from the backup menu. If it still doesn't work I'll explain you how to flash the required files.

It's possible that one of your previous attempts has left something on the device which make TWRP belive the device is rooted already.
Check in your app drawer. Do you have a super user or SuperSU app in there?

From twrp, not from fastboot.
Boot in twrp recovery, from the main menu select the "reboot" menu then reboot to system.
edit: like in the pictures posted above by danny :good:
If it doesn't work, download and save supersu2.46 at the root of your phone storage, reboot in twrp recovery. Select the "install" menu and then browse your phone storage to find supersu2.46.zip. select it and swipe the bottom slider to confirm you want to flash this file. Then reboot to the system and your phone is rooted.

So if there's no app and you don't get the notification. Use TWRP to install the supersu app from @alrays post. Just copy the zip to you phone storage then install it with the "Install" option in Twrp.
It does seem that Towel root or one of the other tools you tried has done something that is interfering with it. But flashing the zip manually should do the job :good:

Alternatively you could do a factory reset in Twrp. That will reset your system partition and then rebooting from twrp should give you the notification. Warning!!! If you try this DO NOT use "Format Data" this is not the same as Factory Reset it will wipe everything off your phone. It's a common mistake just wanted to warn you of it
