Root I want to Root my phone, need help O_o

What I did to install the system update and then re-root.

  1. First, I restored my stock backup using TWRP.
  2. Reflash the stock recovery from firmware.zip from OTA_K2_CL_JB422_SENSE50_MR_Sprint_WWE_Boost_3.05.653.4-3.05.653.3_release_389326.zip with fastboot. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
  3. Rebooted my phone and simply checked for update and let it install. :)
  4. After that, I did a factory reset to make sure I have a clean update (optional).
  5. And finally I used fastboot to reflash TWRP. Now, I'm good to go with the latest software update. Thanks for the help. :)
 
Ok so I went through all the steps to unlock my bootloader, fastboof the twrp recovery, backup, and root. now after i rebooted into the system it asked me to update the SU binaries, i tried to do this from the play store and now my phone just keeps rebooting on me? any ideas?

It's actually really simple :)

You just need to install the twrp recovery found in this thread:
[Development] Unofficial TWRP - K2_CL - Android Forums

Using fastboot with the command

Code: 
fastboot flash recovery {name-of-recovery.img}

Where "{name-of-recovery.img}" is the name of the recovery file you downloaded

Once it's installed, simply boot into recovery and make a backup ( it's always good to have an untouched backup of your device ;) )

Once the backup completes, select reboot system and you should receive a prompt stating that you are not rooted and It will ask if you would like to install superuser. Select yes and that's it. You have root. :)

Im trying to do the above and I am at a loss to what I am doing wrong. I have worked on trying to root on and off for the past week. Sad I know. but this is my first HTC root and its kicking my butt. My bootloader is unlocked and that is it. Same as OP. Im trying to flash openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-k2_cl.img. I have put it on the SD and i also have it in the fastboot folder im working out of on my computer. I get either a "Syntax of the command is incorrect or caint find specified file. Im not asking anyone to hold my hand but any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Using fastboot with the command

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-k2_cl.img

You might have left out something at first, try that.
 
Well, about a year ago I managed to root my SV on 4.1.2. I had completely forgot that there was a update available. I went stock again, S-Off , but I had edited my build.prop and forgot to back it up. Anybody got a stock copy so I can get notified to update? On Boost

Its in the same folder as fastboot and ADB. Same directory and everything. I keep all the files in C:users\owner\android>
:confused:

When you run from the command prompt, are you in that directory? If not, you need to do:

cd C:\Users\Username\android\
 
Adb commands won't work while in fastboot. They work when the device is booted (or in recovery)

If fastboot devices is showing your serial, then the drivers are working.
 
i tried doing whats in this thread, but every time i try to boot into recovery it just stays on the screen saying entering recovery. Anything i can do to get past this?

There are about 10 different builds available by following that link. I assume you mean you tried the newest one on the list? Perhaps you could try 2.7.1.1? Or 2.8.0.0?
