help with twrp - Verizon HTC One (M7)

I just got my htc one last night,I have s off and it says it unlocked.my problem is when i go command prompt to install open recovery it shows that it wrote twrp then i click recovery it shows its booting into recovery but then it just restarts to the splash screen,Ive tried many times to get into recovery and just brings me back to htc screen phone boots fine.Ive tried to use goo manger to get into recovery which also shows entering recovery mode then it just starts up normal.So im not sure what the heck is going on.So info would be greatly apprecitaded.or should i use philz recovery does one work better then the other.I am also running 4.2.2 not sure if that matters or not

I'm also having this problem. I'm running android 4.3. I've tried TWRP and Clockwork Mod. I achieved S-Off and an unlocked bootloader with firewater.

Use Clock Work Mod. TWRP has been having issues with so many devices.

Did you do " fastboot erase cache " before flashing the recovery. I have used twrp since day one with out any issues. I hate cwm because of the super slow backups. Twrp finishes in 1/4 the time. Also twrp looks much better.

i havent tried that will give it a shot .I deleted sdk and trying to reinstall it but for some reason its not loading the page to dl it.So if anyone has a file for that would be cool,where is the fastboot erase cache at im not seeing it any were.back in the day when i had the thunderbolt I never had this much problems

fastboot erase cache is a command you enter in fastboot mode. Just like when you flash the recovery with fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_file.img
You dont need the whole sdk. I assume the drivers are still installed? All you need is this https://www.dropbox.com/s/ipa8tsjdmcacxul/miniadb.zip. Just extract the files to a folder named adb. Then put your recovery .img file in the adb folder too. Then open your cmd prompt to that folder and do the commands.

Did you use the VZW version of TWRP from here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2416431
No issues like mentioned before. I've heard philz works well but haven't tried it. You can even use an app called flashify to flash either. Fastboot is better and less risky, but I've used flashify and it works.

so i still have know idea what is going on with this.I dl the miniadb from drop box [thanks for that by the way] extracted to new folder called adb dropped and dragged file openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7 to the adb folder,held down shift and got into cmd typed in fastboot erase cache and hit enter it shows that it wrote it ,then I typed fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7 add the .img to the end hit enter and says every thing went ok.so I unplug cable hit power button went into recovery hit power button again.it shows that it is going into recovery then just goes to splash screen and boots normal.I have usb debug checked,S is off and says unlocked.So im stumped hopefully you will see what im doing wrong with my procedure..thanks again for the info you have have given me so far.

are their suppous to be spaces between fastboot flash recovery

That is the wrong recovery for this phone. Use this one http://flyhalf205.com/getdownload.php?file=recoveries/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.4-m7vzw.img from the post above by brholt6. Also make sure you do the fastboot erase cache command before flashing the recovery. And yes there should be spaces.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Then
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img

Dude you rock!!!! I know when i was using my s4 that the twrp worked best for that phone.Cant belive thats all it was.so just to make sure,I need to flash su then I should do backup of stock image just in case something goes wrong.So my next questions is do i nedd to do anything elese to flash kitkat rom on phone like flash differnt radio or anything?again thank you for your time and all the info you have provided.

Yes, flash su and then do a backup. If you use a kk rom you should flash kk 3.11.605.1 firmware.

Simple issue, cannot flash recovery.img file HTC One X

As title says, in last steps after unlocking device but won't let me flash "recovery.img" file
error: cannot load 'recovery.img': Unknown error is what it keeps showing me. Tried erasing cache already as well to no avail
Is the name of the recovery file recovery.img? Have you put the recovery.img file in your fastboot folder?
Make sure you enable extensions on filenames in windows before renaming a recovery to recovery.img because it will be named recovery.img.img !
Got that issue fixed but now when I try to boot the phone into recovery it just black screens me then normal boots back to the main screen. It's the latest version of cwm, but I couldn't get twrp to boot up either. So strange because I didn't really run into much trouble rooting my HTC One so I'm feeling really silly that I can't figure out what the issue here is. :'(

sorry for the late reply just got home from work not too long ago, tried that and it starts like its going to boot into recovery and stays on the HTC screen for about 20 seconds then, goes to black and reboots back normally again. Think I need to just reinstall clockwork recovery again?

How to restore Download Mode if all you have is Fastboot

This is for the people [myself earlier] who cannot boot into Android (bootloop or worse), have no download mode, no recovery and can only boot into Fastboot. Download the file below, I have included fastboot (for windows) and the appropriate files to flash, all you have to do is run the commands in order below, then boot into download mode.
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase aboot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash boot 6-boot.img
fastboot flash aboot 4-boot.img
fastboot flash recovery 10-recovery.img
fastboot flash laf 11-laf.img
fastboot reboot
It is best to use the CMD.exe file in the folder provided so you will already be running the commands from that folder without having to change directories. If you're on Linux then make sure you have Fastboot installed then run Terminal from the folder and run the same commands. This will restore the STOCK download mode and recovery partitions not TWRP or CWM.

How would one go about repairing a broken download mode when all I can do is boot into a broken recovery? I cannot issue any fastboot commands as the device is only recognized as an ADB Bridge device. Are there ADB equivalent commands to accomplish the same things as you have detailed here?

well you should never install any OTA with a custom recovery install. you should always keep at least one backup on your phone to restore to in these events. but i would try downloading a rom and installing via sideload before nuking any partitions. which is easy with TWRP. the sideload menu should be in Advanced then ADB Sideload and the command is adb sideload filename.zip and it will take awhile depending on the file size. make sure the file name is simple and it is placed in the folder you are running the sideload from.

Yes yes I know... it was a moment of weakness late at night and I didn't think before telling the girl to go ahead and upgrade. That being said... Part of the problem now is that the one backup she made just up and disappeared. The ADB sideload option just hangs and never actually does anything. The original Stock Rooted file I had still on the sd partition doesn't fix the issue when I flash it... it looks like it flashes ok but on the next boot it just drops me back into TWRP right where I began. And download mode is still borked.
So let's talk thermonuclear resolution on this motherlover.... where do I begin?

i would try to rename your rom to something simple, like rom.zip. there cannot be any spaces in the name and it does need to be in the same folder you run the command from like you seem to be doing.

did you try vol+ and power together? When a functioning rom is installed it asks to do a factory reset but it may get into fastboot if you nuked that partition. i haven't tried this yet but if you're in adb sideload in twrp maybe the command
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
might help

I'm screwed. I gave this a try and now all I get is a black screen. The phone will connect to my computer but I can't send any commands to it through the command prompt. When it connects to the computer it opens a bunch of different drives and says I need to format them. I can't get into download mode and when I try to send a command in the prompt it just says waiting for device. Any ideas?

Please help - stuck on non responding rom!!

Hi everyone,
So I'm kind of new to flashing ROMs but I pretty much got it and flashed a couple of them the last couple of weeks.
Today I flashed the GPE ROM and everything was going smooth, installed successfully but then, the device won't boot up - it just showed me black sceen.
After a few minutes of non responding I forced shut down and went into fastboot, then hit recovery. I have CWM custom recovery. The device showed me the boot animation of the GPE for some reason and then won't go into recovery but showed me "type password to decrypt storage" for some reason. I couldn't go into recovery no matter what I did. Then somehow the device rebooted as usual and now it's on and running but tons of bugs and force stopping apps. IM TRYING TO GO INTO CWM RECOVERY BUT WHENEVER I CHOOSE THAT OPTION IT SIMPLY REBOOTS AGAIN.
HOW CAN I GO INTO RECOVERY AGAIN AND RESTORE MY NANDROID BACKUP? OR DO ANYTHING IN ORDER TO GET A DIFFERENT ROM?
The PC IS NOT RECOGNIZING THE DEVICE, CANT TRANSFER FILES OR RUN FASTBOOT COMMANDS!
THANKS IN ADVANCE! PLEASE HELP!! THE PHONE IS NOT FUNCTIONAL NOW

1) Make sure you have fastboot connectivity. Connect the phone in fastboot mode, and type the command: fastboot devices
2) Place the desired recovery .img in the folder where you have fastboot.exe located. Usually, the most updated version of your recovery is best.
3) In Command Prompt, change directory to your fastboot folder. I have no idea where you setup that up. But it will be something like: cd foldername
4) fastboot erase cache
5) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Where recovery.img is the filename of your desired recovery.

[Q] Having trouble flashing new recovery

Really hope that I am in the right section.
I have been running the blisspop rom for a little while now. Wanted to give a new rom a shot. Went into recovery and wiped as usual and went to flash and got a "this package supports bootloader....." Realized that the new rom recommenced TWRP or Clockwork. So I went into fastboot and tried flashing both Clockwork and TWRP and after flashing and rebooting it hangs on the boot screen with "entering recovery" at the top.
Suggestions? Help?

Here download this one: Click Here
Boot your phone into bootloader,
Choose Fastboot and hook it up to the computer
Wait until it says Fastboot-USB
Open CMD in the window where you downloaded the file and copy this without the quotation marks: "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-m8.img"
Wait until it finishes, then just try going back into recovery

Try this:

Then flash again twrp recovery
Fastboot flash recovery twrp_recovery_name.img
Send with my M8 from Tuttoandroid
That didn't work either. Has anyone else tried to go from the philz recovery back to the other ones and had any issues?
Still trying to figure this out...maybe someone else has a suggestion. I can't RUU since I don't have S-Off, but there should't be an issue flashing a new recovery, I've never had this issue before.

Okay. Let's start over from the beginning.
Go here and download this. on your PC.
rename it to "recovery.img" (no quotes) and put it into your fastboot folder on your PC. (either fastboot or platform-tools depending on the ADB version you have)
Hook up to ADB/fastboot and enter the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
The img you are trying to flash has to be in your fastboot folder.
Also, make sure you have the proper drivers installed. You can confirm this by going to Device Manager on you PC (enter device manager into the search box in your start menu. If you see a yellow exclamation point over "My HTC" or "Android" you don't have the proper drivers).
If you get the yellow "!", and don't have the drivers, then you can get them by clicking this link.
Also, make sure that HTC Sync Manager is uninstalled from your computer. It does not play nice with ADB.

I appreciate the detailed instructions, and I went through and did it exactly like you suggested and I ended up with the same issue. I am able to flash the recovery, the issue is afterwards when I reboot the bootloader then try to go into the recovery it freezes on the htc logo screen with "entering recovery" at the top of the screen. I have been able to flash roms and everything with no issue, just for some reason I can't switch recoveries.

URGENT TWRP switch back to stock recovery after reboot

I used this https://dl.twrp.me/oneplus3/twrp-3.0.2-0-oneplus3.img.html recovery to flash but after reboot to system and then to recovery it shows the stock recovery. Any help ?
That's quite normal. If you flash a stock rom without reinstalling twrp before rebooting system, you will lose twrp because stock rom will install stock recovery too . So, you have to install TWRP from adb by Fastboot again.

Honestly its not that urgent to be honest before you flashed the stock rom you should of read up on what was going to happen. Being knowledgeable about what you are doing is your biggest asset. Also its not that big of a deal reflash TWRP as mentioned and going forward do some reading before making moves
Also make sure the right stuff is checked off in your settings so that the stock recovery does not come back
if u can still boot into ur OS just download flashify and flash twrp via flashify, u can download twrp via flashify too
this is normal it happens from time to time

No it's not the issue I haven't flashed stock rom. I m flashing twrp for first time. Don't know what's the issue but it got fixed after I did factory reset and flashed twrp again

did you follow these steps or did you just reboot directly into the OS
2. Flashing TWRP
Turn the phone off. Then boot it into fastboot mode by holding volume up + power.
Rename the recovery file that you downloaded above to recovery.img. *Make sure that you rename it to recovery.img NOT recovery.img.img* ,Make sure that this file is placed on the desktop.
Open a new command prompt on desktop and run the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once the flash has completed, Don't use the "Fastboot Reboot" Command Instead Unplug Your phone then Manually boot it into recovery by keeping Power + Volume Down button pressed.
In TWRP, select Reboot and then select System. Now your phone will boot into System and you have cleared Steps 2/3 . Grats.

Yes I did. Don't know why it didn't work first time. Everything fine after factory resetting again
