There are many guides to flashing a custom recovery on your HTC device, but few use video. I felt that seeing it done would be a big confidence boost to those of you trying it for the first time.
Flashing a custom recovery is the second step in liberating your Jetstream from the limited out of the box capabilities it has. It gives you control over the various other partitions on your device, most notably the /boot and /system partitions.
The following is a link to my (Vimeo hosted) video guide on flashing a custom recovery.
★★★ vimeo.com/finniest/htcjetstream-flashrecovery ★★★
Hardware Requirements
- HTC Jetstream (Bootloader unlocked.)
- Micro USB to full USB cable
- A computer (I used Linux, but you can easily translate to Windows or Mac.)
Software Requirements
- fastboot (Downloadable from HTC Dev.)
- A custom recovery image (I used TWRP 2.4 from here and mirrored as an attachment.)
Remember that holding the power button and volume down button for a few seconds will power off your device. Doing the same from power off will launch the bootloader.
Happy flashing!
