No. Windows 8/8.1 is not a supported operating system for the Rezound.

Are you S-ON or S-OFF? What recovery do you have installed?

I'm S-ON and the phone came with amon ra 3.13 pre-installed (I bought it already rooted)... I was told that in order to use TWRP all I had to do was download it and it would become my new recovery?

no you have to fastboot flash it with a windows 7 computer since your s-on...and also the recovery depends on rom...if your on Ice cream sandwhich or lower you want amon ra 3.16 only.....if Jelly bean or higher you want TWRP or CWM latest

Although there are some possible ways to flash recovery and Roms when S-On and without a Win 7 or similar PC it is very risky... If anything goes wrong at all, you will need access to a Win 7/XP machine or could brick it. Honestly I would recommend not attempting further modification of your phone without access to a PC with working Linux, Mac, or PC Windows (7 or earlier) with working fastboot.

Flashing ROMs and everything works just fine in Windows 8.1, although you might need an update to your USB controller drivers. Most computers that ship with Windows 8.1 won't use the screwy generic ones, so you should be fine using your tablet.

Incorrect. Get the GooManager app, touch the menu button choose install OpenRecoveryScript. You can flash boot.img's and recovery.img's even if s-on while you're booted into a rom.

If your s off, my scripts may only function on jb/ICS ROMs. They are untested on kitkat, search android development for Lunar Tools.

This is why I said s off or twrp dumlock due to being s on and no PC access/no external sdcard. Need to flash boot.img. hope you still have your prior ROMs zip.
