Root installing TWRP issue

[buMitch333]

so i went throught the process of unlocking the bootloader through HTC dev and I am now trying to get TWRP as my recovery but while going through the command prompt i am getting an error. maybe i am missing a step somewhere I am not sure. this is what I am getting:

C:\Android>fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-jewel.img
sending 'recovery' (4 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.145s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: image error! (BootMagic check fail))
finished. total time: 0.200s

I am hboot 1.19 with s-on as well, so any suggestions are welcome!

thank you

Did you reboot into bootloader then select fastboot?

You can also install it via GooManager too. I believe this only requires that the bootloader be unlocked. I'm not certain. Install the app. Hit menu> Install OpenRecoveryScript. It'll find the newest TWRP and install it.

Rename recovery to recovery.IMG and then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.IMG


That will simplify the command a bit


Could also try redownloading it

yea i was in fastboot when i was running the command prompt and I also tried goomanager and both times I donloaded it but it did nothing after the download. I think I am going to try redownloading TWRP and flashing it through the command prompt again and rename it to something just recovery.

well did all of those things and of course it works! haha sorry for the unneccessary question it just seemed like it was a more complicated issue, but it wasn't thanks again!

Hello all,
I am having a similar issue with my Sprint HTC Evo 4G.....

C:\Users\Tim\Desktop\Root_HTC_EVO>fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-jewel.img
sending 'recovery' (7424 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.923s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: image update error)
finished. total time: 1.932s

I've tried everything mentioned above and still have had no luck. Also tried older TWRP revisions, removing and reinstalling HTC Sync.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!!
