I made a zip file named PK76IMG.zip which is flashable via hboot. This file contains a TeamWIN, TWRP recovery.img for the HTC One V primo (GSM).
Since the HTC One V primo (GSM) is shipped stock with an ICS bootloader, you do not need to upgrade your bootloader to run higher version of android however, an ENG-off hboot or bootloader could be useful for your phone.
What is Eng-off hboot
Hboot is the term HTC uses to refer to their android boot loaders which loads and boots either android or recovery. Meanwhile, an ENG-off boot loader gives you the opportunity to modify or flash certain partitions or .img file on the android device like the radio, recovery or even the boot loader itself which ordinarily, you would need root permission to perform some of these tasks within the android.
Also, with an ENG-off hboot, you have the opportunity to load both signed and unsigned versions of ROM on the phone; especially useful for breaked android devices.

TWRP, TeamWIN Recovery Project recovery is one of the most known custom recoveries available for android devices. It can be used to perform most activities of other custom recovery and very user friendly.
