OK, what exactly did you try?

This is directly from the guide:

1.go to openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-jewel.img to download the file.
2.move the file into the android folder you created earlier when you unlocked your bootloader.
3.on your phone you should be in the bootloader menu screen, select the fastboot option. if you are not in the bootloader menu then power off the phone and then press and hold power+vol down.
4.on your computer press and hold shift while right clicking the android folder.
5.select open command window here option (windows 7)
6.enter command:

Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-jewel.img

Make sure when you type the code into the CMD window, it's exactly as shown above.
 
craps.... how do i open the cmd in ubuntu? i have made a folder named android on the desktop screen. i forget how the heck to get the cmd running.
 
I know. I just have a hard time remembering how to get terminal running in the folder i want. I got it now. just waiting for the RUU to download. Says 2 hours left. FML......

Edit- FINALLY... I'm getting a 2.5MB dl speed. might get this done tonite. :D
 
Awesome Sauce!!! :D

Go get your flash on!!!

Remember to downgrade your Touch Panel Firmware if you're on the latest, or AOSP roms will be borked. ;)
 
I downgraded to 3.15 firmware. Do I need to flash the tp zip listed with the 3.15 stuff or the one listed with the 3.16 stuff?

well if you are on the latest OTA before you rooted then you should downgrade the tp to the one that came with the 3.15 OTA.

the firmware the captn provides does not have the tp firmware...so you will have to manually downgrade it, by flashing the 3.15 version.
 
I did the dirty racun downgrade from 3.16 to 3.15 while getting my s-off. My new phone is hboot 2.09.

I dl'd the zip from the phone. Went into twrp and moved the file to root of internal storage. It wouldnt pick up when I rebooted into bootloader.

it needs to be on the sd card and not on the internal storage.
