Hi thanks for the reply man! There is a limited no of people with this problem but I found the answer. There is a modded recovery available for 2012 WFS and it solved everything!

Does this mean there is a need to distinguish between different variants of the WFS and the OP should integrate that distinction into the tool, perhaps at the level of choosing the device, or better in providing a second recovery? The WFS only has one in this tool.

correct me if i'm wrong but in the U.S there will always be different versions of the same phone due to carrier locks. In other countries there are less such issues. even so, there are some recoveries that aren't compatible with certain custom roms even if these recoveries are universally for that specific device, such as my DHD, there are some custom recoveries that can only be used to flash certain roms only. the OP just can't deal with such vast amount of data, there are too many phones with too many versions of recovery with too many different custom roms involved for one individual to handle. so we as users are here to help as much as we can to solve surface issues. if it's an error or bug or problem that needs OP to fix it inside the tool then it is up to OP.

I'm on your side. The variants I was talking about, however, mean hardware variants.
I'm not sure about it, but I appears there are indeed at least two for the WFS, the 2012 variant, and the "other", which I have.
But of course its up to the OP, we can only give hints and information on things we discover.

I can put a link to the thread, it wasn't easy to find I've been messing around for over a week now and I finally got to the 'root' of it!
Here's the link should someone else stumble upon this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1997465
NOTE THIS: the first recovery posted in the op doesn't work fully, it only gives you a visual and a couple of other functions after messing around with the volumes buttons. Go to the fifth page I think and you see another recovery CWM. That's the only one that'll work fully.

I have a Sprint HTC One M8 and Windows 7 x64. USB Debug is enabled, and Windows detects the phone, but WinDroid just says "Offline". Refreshing does not work.

Same issue with my Windows XP machine, but it seems there is a problem with the automatic download/install of the ADB drivers. After installing the ADB drivers manually, it detects fine.

Awesome! Thanks for the big update!
For the Desire C, TWRP recovery doesn't work properly and fails to flash both update zip's and ROMs from both internal storage and SD properly. With a different recovery (says Mujenji Touch v5.5.0.4 in recovery, seems to be CWM?), everything works just fine. As the tool seems to download recoveries from a server, maybe you could implement an option to choose (between) different recovery images?

HTC Evo 4g LTE Flashing TWRP never completes

Hey,

I'm having an issue where trying to flash TWRP, my phone goes into the bootloader and never leaves. Am I missing something that I should be doing at that point?

Thanks!

I can definitely upload a different recovery file, but it will still show up as TWRP in the toolkit until I can push a future update. Is there is any older build of TWRP that worked that I could upload for now?

If you are using the 'Flash TWRP' button, it should ask you if you want to reboot after it flashes the recovery. Are you using the latest version of the toolkit, v2.1?

    About
    The WinDroid Toolkit is a Windows program built in Visual Studio using the C# programming language that simplifies the rooting process for many Android devices.

If you find it helpful, give me a thanks and a donation if you can. If you find a bug or have a feature request, feel free to leave a reply. Thanks!

    FAQ, Troubleshooting and Guides!

    Frequently Asked Questions
    Which devices are supported in the toolkit?
    You can check out which devices are supported here.

    My device isn't listed!
    You can submit a request here. Please include all the information you can about the device.

    I submitted a request and my device hasn't been supported!
    It's likely that there wasn't enough information or resources to support the device. Usually this means that no custom recoveries have been built for the device, or there is no official way to unlock the bootloader or safely gain root.

    Can I post the toolkit in another forum/website?
    Yes, as long as you link back to this post, use my download link, and message me to let me know. This helps me keep track of the number of downloads.

    What operating systems can I use the toolkit with?
    The toolkit supports Windows 7 and up.

    Can you make a version for OSX or Linux?
    I'd love to, but I don't have the coding ability to do it on my own. Send me a message if you'd like to work on that with me.

    Can you add *feature specific to one device*?
    Unfortunately, because the toolkit supports so many devices, I can only include features that work with every Android phone. I may include a tab in the toolkit with device-specific features in the future.

    Can I check out the source code?
    You sure can! It's up on GitHub here.

    Troubleshooting
    The toolkit crashes when I try to open it!
    You probably have to update the .NET Framework on your computer to version 4.5. You can download it from here.
    Another issue could be that you have the toolkit in the same place as old versions of the toolkit, which could cause some conflicts. Try putting the toolkit file in a new folder. You can also try deleting the Data folder so it will build a new one. You will have to choose your device from the settings menu again so it can redownload the correct recoveries.

    The toolkit won't recognize my device!
    There are a few thing that could be wrong. First, check that USB Debugging is enabled in Developer Settings. Next, double check that you installed the ADB Drivers correctly. You can redownload the installer here. Next, try using a different USB port. ADB sometimes has issues with USB 3.0 ports. If none of these solutions work, you may have to download the ADB Drivers for your specific device. You can check out this support page from Google to find your specific manufacturer and download their drivers.

    I got an error when I tried to download TWRP/SuperSU/other file!
    It's likely that you are not connected to the internet or the internet connection was lost during the download. Please close the toolkit, check your internet connection and try again. It's also possible that Amazon S3, the hosting site for the toolkit files, is down. You can check the status of that here.

    WinDroid Universal Android Toolkit v2.0 Now Out!

    I'm happy to announce that the WinDroid Universal Android Toolkit v2.0 update is now out! It's a complete redesign, and fixes all of the downloading issues and errors that people have been facing.

    I'm sorry I haven't been around to address many of your issues recently. I'm currently a senior in high school, and with school, a job, college applications and extracurriculars, XDA fell to the bottom of my priority list. I finally found some time to crank out an update, so I hope you all enjoy it. :)

    As always, reply with any comments you have or issues you're facing, though I'd advise everyone to take advantage of the DevDB features to do this.

    Thanks! And yeah, I ran into a major last minute issue, so the release is probably gonna be postponed until later this week. At that point, I'll release the full toolkit and upload the project on GitHub. :fingers-crossed:
