Install TWRP Failing Through GooManager - Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE

I just completed S-off sucesfully and installed goomanger > selected install openrecovery script. It downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-fireball.img. I than got a pop up saying recovery has been installed. I than selected reboot recovery and got a pop up saying, "by clicking yes, your phone will request root and reboot to recovery. I selected yes, it says "attempting to reboot recovery, if this fails you may want to perform the operation manually". Nothing happens after this, I just get taken back to the goomanger main menu. Am I missing something or does this not work?
Thanks for the help, as I am fairly new to android, just coming over from the iphone 5.

Did you root the phone after s-off? You will need to flash superuser after DirtyRacun. Once you have root installed, goo manager should be able to install the custom recovery.

Flash one or the other of the following (but only one):
1. SuperSU (XDA Thread)
2. SuperUser (website)
Installing SuperSU from the Google Play/Market should be easiest.
If that doesn't work, you may need to install the custom recovery via fastboot first.
Once a superuser package is installed, goomanager should work for you.

I installed SuperSU and as soon as I open it I get the following message "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem". What should I do?
Thanks

Could always flash the image manually through fastboot if you have the drivers/knowledge. Rename the recovery to recovery.img and put it in the same folder as the fastboot executable. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

There's an order of operations that need to be followed. 1) recovery 2) root or ROM.
You can't use an automated recovery installer unless you have root access, and you can't get root access until you flash the su binary or a ROM with su included (which requires a recovery... see the circle?). Thus, the automated installer is not an option for the very first recovery flash. Similarly, the superuser applications on Play require that you have an su binary already... they just manage access to that binary by other applications.
Follow the manual instructions to flash TWRP, they're really quite easy. If you performed S-OFF, you have the fastboot (and adb) binaries already.
Edit: I have updated the instructions in the TWRP post to reflect this. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Think I figured out, trying now. I think I downloaded the wrong recovery. Should have grabbed the fireball version.
Thanks for everyones help. I almost there. I just manually installed open recovery-tarp-2.4.1.0-inc.img and I got the following
sending recovery 93700kb)... OKAY
writing recover recovery ... OKAY
I than tried booting into the recover with the following command
fastboot boot recovery recovery-tarp-2.4.1.0-inc.img
I than got the message "cannot load 'recovery'
Anyone know where I should go from here?
Thanks

Follow the manual instructions more closely. You don't want to 'fastboot boot ...'
Also, recovery-tarp-2.4.1.0-inc.img is not the right recovery.

I've got it working. I realized I had the wrong recovery a few minutes later. Thanks for all your help.

Alright everyone,for those of you having issues to revolution on your Evo 3d and flooding the irc I figured id start this to compile everything.
Things I have noticed.
1. yes after the install your device to attempt a hands free activation,don't freak when is say checking for firmware update,it wont find anything!
2. You may have to do a battery pull after the initial flash/install. On Mine,the recovery did not install! Problem will be worked out im sure,this is a beta AND teamwin has their own recovery going on as well.
[ I have found the reason why the recovery is not installed is simply because clockwork is not support on the shooter yet.Do install a recovery use team wins recovery image and directions which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192077
Here is a simplistic break down on how to do this,I am not responsible for your actions!
Download the .img file found in the thread,make sure you also download the fastboot.exe and place it in the same folder as ADB for easy access. Once that is done,reboot while holding down your power + volume down button!
Fastboot menu will come up,the command you need it
fastboot flash recovery (location of file).img
For me it was fastboot flash recovery C:\Downloads\durka.img yes I renamed it durka because I dont like long names]
3. If you are having issues getting your serial number,connect it to ADB and do adb get-serialno
4. If you cannot get root,you will have to download busybox by stericson on the market. I had to manually sign into my gmail accounts so remember your passes!
[This is wrong,if you do not have root you need to have the teamwin recovery installed and you need to flash the superuser.zip file found on the forums. If you are having issues installing,make sure signature verification is unchecked,then once reboot install busybox]
All apps that I have that require root are working for me, just waiting on a deodexed rom. Even SetCPU is working,but I dont have the custom kernel installed,which could actually be easily doable now!
And I leave the thread to y'all
Well, I can probably help troubleshoot. Rooted and installed teamwin recovery first try. Doing a nandroid backup now.
I can also help people troubleshoot, I am also rooted and have teamwin recovery going!
N e 1 kno how to do this with a mac?
D3VO
Rooted and recoveried on first try. Doing my compressed NAND backup now. (I like the fact that it can be compressed...but it's slow as hell lol)
Yeah, I was a tad concerned at first about the hands-free activation notice, but everything was smooth like buttah... Thank god I remembered my passwords!
My issues:
First try: I got all the way to the part where the phone is taken to hboot and fastboot usb is selected. I was getting a red X for the driver not being installed bc I didn't have HTC Sync installed, so I cancelled revolutionary, rebooted my phone, installed htc sync on my pc, and tried again...
Now, after rebooting both my phone and the pc, I can't get past the initial "Acquiring Root" step.

yes, I flashed the SU package found here, and also tried the Busybox installer from the market.
besides that, everything's working great, already nandroided my stock setup and my WiMax partition while waiting for the ROMs to drop!

In the new sdk adb is in platform-tools folder, so here's what I did. I moved fastboot and twrp recovery to platform-tools folder, renamed the recovery image to recovery.img and pressed shift while right clicking on the platform-tools folder and choose open command prompt(or window) here. Then just type flasboot flash recovery recovery.img and press enter. Worked for me.
I see what you did...you have to type "fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryhere.img" and it will work. Make sure the recovery image is in the same folder as fastboot.

Did you unroot the temp root before installing Revolutionary? This might be the cause because attn1 from AlphaRev told me to unroot and factory reset to get rid of all the temp root stuff before running Revolutionary.

Reboot into Amon Ra recovery go to the developer menu and install su super user.

tried that
thanks for the prompt reply, I've tried that. I bought the superuser elite before i installed the rom, and I also ran the superuser patch fixer. It does not seem to match up. I fixed the permissions in recovery.
Superuser cannot update, it states that I am not rooted. Once the database is contacted it states there is a permissons error
Is there a way to switch from ra to clockwork?

Was this issue ever resolved, because I am going through the same thing...Unlocked, rooted, Amon-Ra recovery. And have installed su through recovery, and have uninstalled su, reinstalled it, uninstalled tb and reinstalled, and done the same with bb.
Terminal emulator gives me $ at prompt instead of #...what gives?
tmettler5 are you looking to check your phone if it is rooted?
Someone link OP a SU.zip, I had to do that as Amon RA's root didn't stick for me.
Once I flashed the superuser zip, never had an issue again.

TRY THIS
1)Make sure that htc sync is disabled and try this
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ky4ckwpdqzyw3x1 and put your unlock code.bin file in the tools folder.
Now follow the intructions when you run the program.
2)Install amon ra http://www.mediafire.com/?l9dgzvvsdku7g3c by downloading file and click save as to your android folder on the C drive that you used to unlock the bootloader. Next rename the file recovery. Next go to the HBOOT menu and fastboot usb open cmd and type commands push enter after every command.
cd..
cd..
cd android
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
NOTE THE RECOVERY BOOT USED IS AMON RA 3.14
3) reboot and very important to make a back up.
I think I got everything hope this helps.

On an assumption; If you are running the stock kernel. It is secured, meaning won't allow su in terminal. Either flash the stock unsecured kernel or try a custom rom.
@OP
Is this still a problem for you?
I am using the stock kernel that came with the leaked RUU. I am trying to install su using amon-ra 3.15. If I am reading correctly, if I install a custom rom, that should fix it, right?

Should. Alternatively you could invoke "adb shell" then an "su" command from a PC, if you have ADB setup properly.

[HOW-TO] Install a Custom Recovery and Root Device [RevOne/Moonshine]

Here is a simple, easy guide to install a custom recovery and root your device after achieving S-Off using the RevOne method.
**Moonshine installs all the SU/busybox binaries needed for root. So if you merely want a custom recovery you can follow this guide up to Step 7.**
Takes less than 5 minutes and is really easy. First, go to one of these threads and download either classic or touch CWM CWM Recovery or TWRP if you so prefer TWRP Recovery
Step 1. Rename recovery file recovery.img *Note: If using Win7 or 8 it hides known file extensions by default. Take care to not rename the file to "recovery.img.img"*
Step 2. Move file to your folder containing fastboot.exe on your computer
Step 3. Make sure phone is plugged in to USB port and USB debugging is turned on.
Step 4. Open a command prompt and type in: adb devices
Step 5. If device is listed type: adb reboot bootloader
Step 6. Using the command prompt, cd to the directory that has your fastboot.exe and recovery file *example: cd C:\sdk\
Step 7. Once in the bootloader type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Step 8. If everything goes as it should, the recovery should be installed. On the bootloader screen you are currently on navigate to and select the BOOTLOADER option. Once it takes you to the new screen, navigate to and select RECOVERY
Step 9. Once it boots into recovery, select reboot now. It will prompt you to root the device. Select Yes.
Step 10. Phone will reboot. You now have a custom recovery and are rooted. Go to the play store and download either SuperUser or SuperSU. I prefer SuperSU, but it is entirely up to you.

Enjoy!!
Really nice guide. Thanks for writing this. It's also exactly the same steps one would use for TWRP, if someone is wondering about that. Just use the TWRP file and rename to recovery.img.

I've done this a 100 times but for some reason I'm getting the error "error: cannot load 'recovery.img'".
What's going on?
I did the RevOne method yesterday.
Edit, it happened with both CWM and TWRP.
After the RevOne method, my phone says **UNLOCKED** and S-Off, however is it possible that I'm not Unlocked?
Edit 2, what's really weird is that last night, I used the "All-in-one Toolkit" to flash the TWRP recovery and it worked just fine. I'm actually in the TWRP recovery right now. And then once I rebooted from recovery, it did NOT ask me to root/install SU.

Do you use Win7 or 8? By default it hides known file extensions. So if you renamed it to "recovery.img" it might actually be "recovery.img.img".
Also I believe the all in one kit installs the SU binaries for you... I wouldn't know as I don't use one clicks or kits.

Can´t reach Recovery

Hi all. Before i start i want to say, i read a lot of threaths and comments before i started to booting recovery and i followed Tutorial that you can find somewhere here on XDA for MotoE.
I unlocked Bootloader correctly and everything was right. Then i downloaded latest version of TWRP and CWM if something will be wrong.
So i booted into bootloader, connected to PC (windows 8.1) and using adb i installed TWRP (by command window). After instalation was complete, i used comand: "fastboot reboot" to get my mobile start normally. Everything worked fine so i started last step. Turned off mobile, booted into bootloader(or maybe fastboot? idk...) and by volumebuttons i choosed "Recovery" . Then a black screen for a minute. After that mobile stuck on screen that i attached down below. So i tried this but with CWM (same process way). But nothing new... Someone said me i had to try "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" but again, nothing happend.
Can you help me guys?
The recovery isn't installed! Reinstall the recovery and follow correct steps!
I tried it one more time. I´m attaching image that is from command window showing that .img was booted ... Strange is, immediately after booting was completed, mobile restarted... and after i turned off mobile again, still i can´t reach recovery. Isn´t that problem in .img file? maybe it´s broken, isn´t it?
Tried once again
Ok last try didnt worked. So i complettly followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/general/guide-one-moto-e-beginners-guide-t2807891 STEP-BY STEP!
Command window screen attached, Fastboot screen attached.
After reboot, turn off i tried to open recovery and again that image that i posted in first coment. (android figure with words: no command)
By that guide i downloaded recovery from here: https://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/condor/
and i downloaded just "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-condor.img" as i have to do it (written in guide)
Well, your recovery is flashing fine from cmd but its not detected by your phone.
Try re-downloading the recovery and check md5 before flashing.
I'll look into it and see if the issue can be pinpointed.
Btw, you might need the flash the stock ROM back if nothing works.

Okay try this.
Flash CWM
If flashing fails or you get any error, then try booting into recovery.
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
If you boot into recovery, flash the SuperSU package.
Reboot and then flash the recovery.
See if it works.

Do not flash CWM, just boot into it by the command I posted above.
Then try and flash SuperSU, (if you get a root prompt from CWM, select NO.)
Reboot device.
Then again boot into fastboot and now flash recovery (twrp).

I said if flash is not successful, then boot into it. So you can't boot into recovery either.
Here's last resort, extract the stock recovery from stock ROM and flash it. Then we'll try flashing TWRP again.
If you don't have stock ROM, download it. as you might need it to recover.

(i had newest drivers i can update them)
LOL?
OK im in recovery i already flashed superSU...
What did i do?
As you said, i reinstalled all drivers...
then i downloaded same TWRP again (but with mirror source)
I downloaded attached md5 file ( still dont know what should i do with it )
moved recovery and .md5 files into minimal adb and fastboot (both files i renamed to "recovery")
turned off devices
started fastboot
connected to PC
started command window and entered command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
then i didnt wrote sommand "fastboot reboot" as i done before
i just unpluged usb and navigate to recovery button and launched it
and VUALA im in recovery
hurraaa
just installed superSU and then rebooted.
everything works (superSU too)
i have one more question...
i downloaded twrp manager from google play
first start: asked for root permission a allowed it
then message appeard:
"The only compatible version of busybox we support is Stericson. All other cause havoc on all operations in this app. Please click yes to install Stericson busybox"
what the heck is busybox?
+Should i download it or not?
Do not use TWRP Manager, ROM Manager, CWM Manager or any other of these Tools. They often do not really work good together with "exotic" fones. Why the heck do you need TWRP manager? You have TWRP installed
Anyway - Busybox you also can download and install from Playstore. Busybox is a collection of executable terminal commands helpful for any kind of script. There are a couple of rooted apps who will ask for busybox support - so don't hesitate to install busybox - but do it directly with busybox app from playstore.
After you have installed the binaries you can de-install the busybox-app. Because all necessary binaries then are copied into /system/bin/ folder and the app itself only will become active once a new version would be available (but this is not the case very often).
ok then
