Is it possible to flash TWRP without using adb/fastboot Recovery img method? topic

I no longer have access to any Windows 7 or XP machines, but would like to update my TWRP to the latest version: 2.8.1.1 (I believe I need to do that in order to flash any Lollipop ROM). I'm currently running 2.6.3 modified.

My notebook running Win 8.1 does not recognize the device in adb. Nor have any other Win 8.1 machines I've tried, despite having the HTC drivers downloaded on all of them.

So the question is - can I update TWRP on my Evita via any other method? All the guides I've read on installing custom recoveries involve adb/fastboot.

Is there some way to flash the latest TWRP version (in a zip file format?) directly from my current version of TWRP, like how I would flash a new ROM?

Thanks for any help.

[Q] Problems with adb/fastboot after updating to Android 5.0.1 topic

I recently updated to Android 5.0.1 on my M8 GPe and it seems to work just fine. Today I wanted to flash a custom recovery but I couldn't get any connection between the phone and the computer. When I enter fastboot I don't get "fastboot usb" as I usually do.
Do I need new drivers or something? I have both Windows 7 and OS X 10.10 so a solution for either is ok.
