How do I get my phone to stay permanently on TWRP? I've got it to flash and can run it fine. The problem is that everytime I reboot it goes back to RA revamped...It's annoying as ****. I've tried searching and can't find a solid answer.
s-on, rooted, know how to flash roms and everything through adb etc. why the hell won't it just stay on twrp?

Go download GooManager from make. Install open recovery inside of it. It will flash TWRP.
Or just download TWRP and put the recovery.img in your adb directory and execute "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" from fastboot and it's a done deal!

I did that. Worked fine but the next time I went to do anything in recovery it was RA again...does it every time I try to switch. Is there a specific order I need to do this in? Clean wipe/recovery/ROM/kernel?

No, not really any specific order at all... Sure you are using FLASH and not BOOT in the fastboot command?
If you are sure, then you must have a PHxxIMG.zip file on the SDcard of Amon Ra that is flashing itself on every boot or something, remove any PHxxIMG.zip files from the SD card and try again. Flashing a ROM does not replace the recovery image, so something else is doing it and I can't think of anything else that would cause that behavior.

I have my HTC EVO 3D, HBoot 1.5 Unlocked using HTC's Method, i would like to know what is the best method Flash the Kernel for "InfectedROM Eternity"... I tried flashing the boot.img after i already flashed the ROM but it kept going to the HTC logo over and over again without booting up.
Any suggestions??
Try flashing the boot.img before flashing the ROM.
Just do this place a copy of your recovery.img in your adb folder
Now while in hboot
use adb
fastboot boot recovery.img
Now wipe everything and flash rom
no need to snag boot img out works every time
Also yes you must wipe everything then adb reboot booloader then fastboot flash boot boot.img
other wise you will bootloop..

Just take your recovery your throw it in your adb folder
and
fastboot boot recovery.img
This works better and faster..
Yes if your gonna do it the boot way....
Make sure you wipe then
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then flash the rom in recovery...

this program basically pulls the kernel out of the rom and flashes it for you, all you have to do is boot into recovery and flash the rom and you're done.

Did you boot your recovery using fastboot? If not, that's the problem. Unless you boot recovery using fastboot, then your boot partition won't get flashed, thus meaning that your kernel doesn't get flashed. That means you'll bootloop. On your computer, open up a command prompt. Navigate to the folder that contains your recovery.img. Then do "adb reboot bootloader" (w/o the quotes). Then do "fastboot boot recovery.img" (or whatever the name of your recovery.img is...it may not be 'recovery.img'. If it's twrp2.img, or whatever, type that). That should boot your phone into recovery, and from there you'll be good. Your boot partition will be flashed. So try booting to recovery that way and then try restoring a nandroid. If that doesn't work, boot to recovery the way I said, and try flashing a rom from scratch, after a full wipe of course.

I've just unlocked my rezound and i'm trying to root via my mac. i downloaded the amonra recovery and put it in my android folder. i've got my phone rebooted and i'm in the fastboot usb menu. i have bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, and power down as options.
a little help?
maybe i'm just not meant to root my phone :-(
On mine the command was ./fastboot recovery recovery.img as long as you are in fastboot in the bootloader.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
Since you're in fastboot usb, make sure the recovery image is in the android tools folder containing fastboot.exe. The command is "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" without the quotes and recovery.img being the name of the image file you put in your android tools folder.

I would just flash a prerooted Rom thats what I did with mine installed the root user access from amonra didn't work for me. You gonna go with GB or ICS?

I would prefer ICS.
I would read up on BAMF ICS or Cleanrom ICS and follow the steps to flash as long as you are on the new firmware. There are others but those are the ones that I've tried I'm currently on BAMF.
BAMF looks more straightforward. waiting for a response on a question over there.
What did you need to know?
it *appears* that i'm ready to flash. there are two files that i've downloaded. one is a rom, the other a kernal. i'm trying to figure out which is which and what my next steps are.
here are the instructions, and i'm wondering how important the nandroid backup is, since i'm basically starting fresh.
Download rom file and PH98IMGnewfirmwarepeople.zip
Rename PH98IMGnewfirmwarepeople.zip to "PH98IMG.zip" without the quotes
Place both files on external SD card and reboot to recovery
Make a nandroid backup
Wipe data, cache, dalvic cache, and system
Flash the rom through the "Flash Zip Menu" in recovery
From main recovery screen, choose "Developer Menu"
Select "Reboot to Bootloader" from the developer menu
Phone will reboot to hboot, you may have to select bootloader from hboot screen
Bootloader will load the PH98IMG.zip, select "Yes" to update.
Rock on with your bad self and reboot system
The one with BAMF in the title is typically the Rom and the kernel would either be oldfirmwarepeople.zip or newfirmwarepeople.zip this file has to be renamed as PH98IMG.zip and place on the ext sd card. Then in amon-ra wipe everything and flash the rom zip then from the developer menu boot into bootloader and let it apply the kernel update then it will reboot then profit.
do you see any issues with following the directions above?

If you have s-off then I'm pretty sure that all you need to do is flash a recovery, then flash a rooted rom. Check the recovery in my sig.

Yeah, good point, sorry.
Put the recovery image in the same folder that you have adb in. Make sure usb debugging is turned on. The phone needs to be booted into android. Open the folder on your computer that has adb in it and hold shift while you right click, select open command prompt here, now type "adb push recovery.img /sdcard/" without the quotes. Now type "adb reboot bootloader", itll boot to hboot and you should be in fastboot usb, now type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" without the quotes.
Also, you,ll either have to change the name of the recovery to "recovery.img" or you can change the command i gave you, ie, fastboot flash recovery nameofyourrecovery.img
You now have your custom recovery back.
So I flashed cm 10.1 before achieving S-Off. Bootloader unlocked, rooted with TWRP installed. It sits on "quietly brilliant". I can get into fastboot and recovery, but cannot get any files onto my sd card. Can someone help me get back to a stock rooted rom so I can achieve S-Off properly? Or if it's easier, I'll go all the way to complete stock and start over. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You most likely need to fastboot flash the kernel (boot.img) so the ROM will boot. Just another reason to get S-off

Why can't you take out your sd card plug in the pc and place meanbean rom on there. Flash meanbean which will flash the kernel. Then flash stock rooted rom.

Would be better help if I knew more of what is going on. Were you trying to S-OFF with CM10.1 installed? Did you just flash CM10.1 while S-ON and can't get the phone to boot? But anywho... with what I know now:
If you still have the CM10.1 ROM on your phone:
take the boot.img out of the .zip and
fastboot flash boot boot.img
that will install the boot.img / kernel and should allow your phone to boot.
Then you can go back in TWRP and flash a stock ROM.
To flash a ROM in fastboot:
fastboot -w
to wipe you device
fastboot update ROM.zip
that will install your ROM in fastboot mode.
fastboot flash boot boot.img after too I assume.
Or you can even do so by using adb in TWRP:
adb shell
mount data
adb push d:\custom_rom.zip /data/
Wait until the push finishes and restart your device to recovery again with "adb reboot-bootloader"
mount data
mount /data /sdcard (mount the data folder into your sdcard folder)
find your ROM.zip
Confirm the flash by following the on-screen instructions
if no errors then reboot the device
Also, in TWRP with your phone plugged into the computer you should be able to mount the phone to get access to your storage on your computer. Not 100% sure why that would matter or why you need to get to your storage though. I'm pretty sure that's called USB-OTG.

Also another option.
If you're trying to get the .zip for the boot.img just download the version you need from the computer, open the .zip, pull the boot.img out and do the fastboot command to install the boot.img / kernel.
If you need or want to RUU then you should be able to:
fastboot oem lock
that will obviously relock your device
then you can fastboot oem rebootRUU
then fastboot flash zip RUU.zip (assuming you have your proper RUU already) when on the black HTC screen
after that completes fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then you'll be back to stock and should be able to boot the device, root, or whatever you please.
I think I covered every option. Lol.
Personally, I would just RUU again.
I've done this before with CM10 while trying to gain S-OFF and just RUU'd my device to see what would happen.
Keep in mind: anything can happen. I went into the process knowing there would be a possibility of a fail in which case I would smash the phone and pay $150 to asurion to get another device since I had the protection from Sprint.
