[Q] TWRP update to 2.4 - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I am currently running TWRP 2.3.1.0 and would like to update it to the most current version. Is there a specific process that I have to go through in order to update it correctly, or can I just download if from Goomanager and install it without any additional steps?
Thanks

Goomanager should work fine assuming you're rooted

This is what I did.

I do mine via fastboot, it's pretty easy just run fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and just make sure the TWRP is in your fastboot folder and you replace recovery.img with the latest file name you downloaded. GooManger should be much easier if you don't wanna use fastboot.

Thanks to all the replies. I was able to update TWRP via Goo without a problem.

[Q]Can I flash recovery from the phone?

I used to flash recovery via terminal app on Nexus One, using command "flash_image". But it seems this command doesn't exist on Atrix 4G. Is it able to do this on Atrix 4G & how?
I think you have to use fastboot via USB from pc... Google it
However once you have CWM you can update via zip files within CWM

Thanks any way.
There is an app called MOTOA4 Bootstrap that can install a CWM Recovery shipped with the app. Maybe ROM Manager would also do (not tested yet). So it's possible to change recovery within Android system (rooted). What I'm looking for is just an command line utility to flash any recovery I want.

i think that is possible only with a recovery yet installed, to upgrade or something else

Anyone able to flash twrp directly from goo manager

Currently am bootloader unlocked .....
I just picked up a second HTC one and wanted to ask before I attempt again to flash twrp from goo manager app which is supoosed #1 preferred method on twrp website ,stating to open goomanager /menu and install open recovery script .
After I donwlaoded it I tried it once and manually rebooted although recovery booted into a dim blueish screen .
Had to go into hboot and factory reset
I thought that if goo manager has an available open recovery it should flash it from the device itself .
If this is known to be not working can anyone confirm and I will just use the fastboot adb method

Check the TWRP thread in the 'original android development' forum. Seems the method is different with this phone/s-on.

I unlocked the bootloader and flashed a cwm recovery. Downloaded goo.im and downloaded twrp through the app. I'm used to some sort of confirmation that a change has been made, but when I rebooted into recovery sure enough, I had twrp installed.

Flashing from goo manager only works if you flash a non-protected kernel first.
This one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255900
worked perfectly for me.
Otherwise, you have to use this method:

Recovery Flashable Recoveries

here are the latest cwm/twrp recoveries made by dhacker29 in recovery flashable format:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B-53iD-71B3iTWhzNVc0QkdJSkk&usp=sharing
they can't be flashed with stock recovery, can be flashed only with existing cwm/twrp. if you're unlocked but running stock recovery, they can be flashed with safestrap.
all thanks to dhacker29!

So instead of using rsd to go back to stock, we can flash this as we would a custom ROM?
I can't seem to update TWRP, trying to flash using my current version of TWRP.

Thank you very much
Edit: I just fastbooted in TWRP 2.6.3.2 but when in TWRP it shows 2.6.3.0 still. It said it updated though through fastboot.

no, these zips update your cwm/twrp recovery to the latest version. if you want to avoid using rsd, make a nandroid of your stock unmodified system.

i have no idea what the problem could be. i flashed the new twrp with cwm, rebooted recovery, and it shows 2.6.3.2.
you did extract the recovery.img from the zip before fastbooting, correct?
you know what, i downloaded the img file from DHackers Android Hosting. Let me download the ZIP file and flash it through TWRP.

heh, well you got the image straight from the source, shouldn't have any problems with it. the ones in the zip files are unmodified except for being renamed to generic "recovery.img" (so i don't have to modify the updater-scripts for each one).
actually, just realized that twrp for the x still shows as 2.6.3.0, i was thinking of the new razr m twrp which does show 2.6.3.2. you can tell it's updated by the haptic feedback though.

Thank you. I figured it was updated because of the new vibration under settings.
Been driving myself nuts. I fastbooted it through fastboot, mfastboot, and mxfastboot.
Went back to hashcodes 2.6.3.1 then back.
Thank you for confirming.
Edit: DHacker just confirmed on twitter that he forgot to update a script so it will show 2.6.3 but all is well.

So will the CWM work on a 4.4 VZW Dev Ed? If so, can I flash it with TWRP? I know theres a CWM on the forums, but someone said you should only use TWRP with 4.4.

Correct. But would you need CWM to flash CWM, or could you use TWRP to flash CWM and it would overwrite TWRP?

Won't matter. I used twrp to flash the new twrp. Or use twrp to flash cwm. Shouldn't matter.

I've never flashed a recovery through a recovery. I've only ever used ADB. You can do two things.
1) Extract the zip file to remove the recovery img
2) If the OP doesn't mind me posting this you can go to DHacker's files and get the CWM recovery img he has there.
On the rezound I could take a .IMG recovery and rename it to PH98IMG.img, boot into bootloader, and it would auto flash the recovery... Does this method not work on the moto X?

Lost recovery

I was updating my twrp recovery from 2.7.0.1 to 2.7.1.0 using flashify.
I noticed flashify was unable to begin downloading the recovery image, so I do loaded it from the Internet browser.
Now when I try to reboot into recovery, I get the download screen instead.
Can't manually boot into recovery either as I get an error message saying the same.
Can someone assist me here?

Do you have a supersu. If not download supersu and then try to install Goomanager from the play store.

Try extracting that TWRP zip you downloaded and get the Recovery.IMG file from it.
Then use Flashify's option to flash a recovery image. Find the one you extracted and you should be good. Course you can make sure your SuperSu is all set too like previously mentioned.

Did exactly that and got twrp back. But trying to install the latest version 2.7.1.0 and flashify just hangs.
Extracted the image file but it doesn't update to 2.7.1.0 and still on 2.7.0.1. Odd

I downloaded the latest and flashed with flashify with no problem.

TWRP 3.0 is up!

https://dl.twrp.me/angler/
So flash, much excite, such new. Wow.
Edit - I know I sound weird but I don't like dirty flashes. I always reboot into bootloader, fastboot erase recovery and then fastboot flash recovery twrp.img ( I rename it twrp.img for short) then boot into it. I have done this for years on BL unlocked devices and never had a problem flashing twrp. It's just ME, but I think it is fun typing the stuff, and it assures me that I have a clean state and am not dirty flashing anything! Also, on others phones I use RASHR instead of flashify. Once again, personal preference but have had better luck.
XDA Thread updated
And backs up with finger print
^ That's great news.
I tried flashed this but after trying to reboot into recovery got the broken android icon. Reflashed back to older version and it worked. Not sure if I had a corrupt come. Do you have to reboot the bootloader after flashing from fastboot for it to take? I just rebooted to system after flashing.

Just out of curiosity, did you use flashify? I know two other people that it borked the flash also. I recommend rashr. But I also flash via otg cable and usb drive. I'd say you most likely had a bork download. Delete the img, run trimmer, redownload it. And flash via rashr and reboot and respond if it fixed it. Good luck!

No problem dirty flashing here, but the process is a little different than it was on my previous phone where you would just flash it like a ROM...
You gotta:
"Download the latest TWRP image file (.img) from the download link and boot TWRP. Go to install and find and select the Images... button. Browse to the image that you downloaded and select it. Choose recovery and swipe to flash."
OP's method seems like the best bet though...

That's cause you're use to flashing zips people make flashable, i'm old school and use img's hahaha "LET'S MAKE FLASHING FUN!" Shutup Gytole...
Just out of curiosity has anyone tried flashing twrp as boot? I also have a thread in the tmobile G3 section and I almost wonder if thats why they bork their phone...lol
Just did it on my girlfriends G3 through twrp and was like, "they totally flashed it as boot...."
