I have successfully unlocked the bootloader. I flashed the cwm recovery by fastboot with the proper command and the command executed fine. I also erased the cache with fastboot. But when I select recovery from the hboot menu it gets stuck on to screen with the HTC logo with following text in red "this build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside of htc without written permission". I cannot access the cwm menu.
I tried the twrp recovery too but no avail. The same screen comes up.
I searched a bit and found that some have faced the same issue with HTC ONE X and had their problem solved by flashing an interim unofficial cwm built for their device. But I can't find any such interim cwm recovery for HTC ONE V.
Please help.

fastboot flash recovery nameoftherecovery.img
In my case it was fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Nothing wrong on my side. This is not my first time.
And the commands executed without any error.
I even relocked the bootloader and unlocked it again. But, still the problem persists.

If you take a ruu and remove the Rom.zip and from that take the recovery.img and flash that, does the phone boot into the stock recovery?

hey everyone, i have an sim free desire HD that was rooted and s-off and has been running like that for a while. recently i tried to access clockwork mod to try and flash a new rom but when i did so the recovery does not load. Its just stuck on the htc splash screen, it doesnt even say quietly brilliant. The phone still works but i cannot access recovery. I tried the following procedure in fastboot to re flash the recovery
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recoveryCWM.img
fastboot reboot
after doing this it still has not worked. Any suggestions or a certain fix would be brilliant.
Thanks
You can put the PD98IMG.zip from my downgrade post to your SD card and reboot to bootloader, it will flash you the 1.32 stock ROM and you can start from a clean table.
use an older version of recovery

I had the same problem, with clockwork 3.0.0.6 ... I then flashed 3.0.0.5 (see the bottom of the Rom manager Menu that proposes you to use former recovery roms). I could solve my problem that way.
After a long string of flashing failures with this device, I'm needing to update the recovery.
Unfortunately after it let me downgrade the recovery, no matter what recovery I flash (CWM latest or TWM) for the HTC One X, the god damn older version is still there.
I've tried updating it through One X One Click and CWM itself. But I have no idea what's going wrong or what's needed to be done.
[Edit]
Okay, it seemed to install with no errors this time.
Now I just have to figure out why the heck it always displays "HTC quietly brilliant" forever.

so, which recovery did you install? which rom are you trying to install?
Recovery. Img is to be flashed through fastboot and not in recovery itself
Go in your fastboot folder
Open cmd there and give commands
Fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
Fastboot erase cache
And you're good to go :thumbup:

Hello,
I have the same problem;
I was on recovery CMW 6.0.4.4. I tried to update to 6.0.4.5 or philz. Fastboot says okay after install, but when I restart to recovery, recovery is still 6.0.4.4.
What I haven't done is erase cache. Could this be it? Cannot try for the moment because I'm at work.
Thanks

yes, it might be... try to flash again recovery and to erase cache after OKAY message...
I tried it again with fastboot and than erase cache : doesn't work
Than I copied the recovery zip file to sdcard and installed it through clockworkmod recovery 6.0.4.4. Everything installed ok but when I reboot recovery it is still 6.0.4.4?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
The zip is of no use, the recovery.img has to be flashed via fastboot (s-on devices have no other choice) try to flash a different recovery to check that works. Maybe the recovery is a bad download
I've found the solution.
It was a problem with my fastboot extension.
Thanks anyway
First of all, I'm running the RUU GPE edition rom for my HTC one M8, I love it. However I want xposed framework, and all of it's goodies too, otherwise imo I should have stuck with Sense version. There is one problem though. I can't seem to boot into recovery, at all. When I attempt to boot into recovery via ADB, or from the bootloader it just shows me the google logo for a while, and restarts back to android homescreen.
Could this be because I may have flashed the wrong recovery? Initially I flashed the "hammerhead" recovery from TWRP, whatever the hell that is(thought I was getting it specific for my HTC one), later once I noticed I did that I simply reflashed the correct recovery. Could this be why, if so, how can I fix that? Can I remove the recovery and reflash it?

No, flashing a recovery removes the old one, but you should do:
fastboot erase cache

I assumed flashing another recovery merely erased the old one. so I tried "fastboot erase cache", then "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-m8.img", to no avail, still unable to boot into my recovery by "adb reboot recovery", or any other method. I'm S-off, bootloader unlocked. When I was running sense I had s-off, custom recovery, root and twrp.
Any other ideas?

I have the ATT version.
All of this was fine, until I made the switch to GPE, which I was under the impression I actually downloaded the rooted version, seeing as how that is the one I selected. Sadly, no root, so I began the rooting method over, to no avail.
Well, apparently I got twrp on there.
I went ahead and got the HTC One all in one toolkit to see if somehow that might flash the recovery. Of course, the actual transfer of the recovery seemed to hang, and never finish. So I unplugged the phone, it said it failed. I attempted to manually boot into recovery using power and volume down. Of course, it didn't work. Attempted to flash the recovery again using the all in one toolkit. Same scenario, it hangs and fails. Once again, I manually tried to boot into recovery. This time, miraculously it works. What the hell? haha
Hi guys i flashed the 3.5.3 CM today but i decided to go back with 3.26 again, so i followed a guide that tells me to install stock recovery over twrp before i install the rom but after i fastboot flash the recovery i cannot go into the recovery anymore.
i tried to flashed the modified twrp and then boot to recovery but still wont open it.
the phone works and can go into fastboot still but it just wont access recovery
anyway to fix it? sorry if this has been discussed before. im on a mac for more info
TIA

Is your OS booting?
yea
Got the same problem here. Can boot into system and fastboot but if boot to recovery i get the oneplus logo and the bootloaderscreen and then i get a black screen where i should get my recovery. And if wanna Force shutdown my oneplus it freezes somehow. I tried everything to fix this with no result. Stock recovery doesnt work too.
Hi I just had the same problem, I have sent it back to Oneplus for repair. According to the ticket, I had a faulty motherboard, which has been replaced. If you can, do it. I only had to wait for a week before it was sent back.
Had the same problem last night. Following method nr 2 in thos thread solved it.

using fastboot to wipe the recovery partition then fastboot flashing modified twrp twice worked for me, i think the oneplus recovery image thats doing the rounds doesn't want to play nice lol
If youre phone boots in to system, download Flashify from play, flash recovery.img (you need to extract .img file). Go to recovery to check if it works. If not try other recovery.
after flashing the community build i cant boot my device in fastboot mode, it wont start the recovery or boot the system sucessfully.

If your device is unlocked, flash the recovery.img from fastboot.
You can download TWRP for oneplus 3 from their site.
Rename the downloaded recovery to recovery.img.
And open fastboot in the path of the recovery image.
Use the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Hopefully this helps

managed to fix it the other day, by flashing the modded twrp.. somehow that one worked after that i flashed the 3.26 plus the 3.26 modem ones because if i didnt, my touch screen wont work...
For me, I flashed the twrp from fastboot.
But still the 1+ logo shows when I try to boot in to recovery for 5 sec and shuts down with 2 dots of lights in the navigation button area
The normal boot is working fine. Did flash the recovery using apps like TWRP Manager, Flashify etc. It will show successfulll. But when I try to boot in to recovery, same result.
Please help
Hello everyone. I got a M8s from a friend wich is stuck in bootloader. The recovery didn't work at the begin, so I flashed twrp-recovery-2.8.6.0-m8s-qlul.img (flashing recovery using htc_fastboot.exe flash recovery theimagename.img) and it worked, then I tried to install a custom ROM Android_Pandora_Rom_1.2_(Discontinued).zip wich went all the steps fine until: Optimizing applications 8 of 204..then phone shat down to black screen. I booted back to bootloader, recovery, wiped and go for a new install, same issue.
After that, I was going to install lineage-13.0-20170715-UNOFFICIAL-m8qlul.zip where the developer of this rom recommends twrp-3.0.2-0-m8ql.img so I tried to flash it (flashing recovery using htc_fastboot.exe flash recovery theimagename.img), then tried to acces recovery, brings me back to bootloader so fast, rebooted bootloader, tried again, same problem. Tried the fasboot erase cache, no help.
The Hboot state is Unlocked and the S is ON. I tried some other recovery images, as stock_signed or 3.0.1, tried the one from M8 ToolKit but all failed and I still can't access recovery, everyting I do, it brings me back to bootloader. I did htc_fastboot boot recoveryfile.img wich works, but useless, the dd if= method to set the recovery permanent load did not work after reboot, /data and /system can't be mountet, it seems the "boot recovery" option is 99% readonly.
Any advice, any help please? It would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Hi McBad,
you could try the following. I also had some problems to access the recovery.
- Again bring the phone into fastboot, flash the 2.8 recovery and access it
- Do a wipe for factory reset, not just only cache
- after that try to flash the twrp-3.0.1-0-m8ql.img version, the other one worked for me neither
- the try to install the custom ROM LOS13
I hope this will help you.

It would be great if that would work, but flashing a recovery does not work. I flash it, success message, try to access it, vibrates and bootloader pops back instantly. That is the problem.
Sorry for double post, but can anyone help me with this? This is the second day I struggle to make it work. Any chance to make the hboot locked again? It didn't work with oem lock command. I would like to lock it so I can put an official zip on sdcard so the hboot to restore it to factory stock, some RUU. Or get it s-off so I can flash a rom from fastboot? The phone does not have any ROM on it, image crc results system 0x0, recovery 0x0. Please, help!
Have you tried sideloading twrp ?

Did you use HTC fastboot ?
Yes, I used htc_fastboot. Use sideloading? Like boot the img file directly? Tried that too.

Is there any way you could flash twrp 2.8 again? Once in that recovery you have sideloading option which you could use to transfer latest recovery onto your device. Are we talking about the same process?

You can't install lineage if you haven't upgraded your device with latest official update. I would try reinstaling twrp 2.8, do a wipe of cache, dalvik cache and system, Sideload CM 12; and see how it goes. As well, while in twrp I would try relocking bootloader but only after an unsuccessful attempt to flash said rom. I don't know what your experience with soft bricked devices is, but sometimes it takes a while, different usb cable or usb slot on your PC, correct files in adb folder, re-download of rom or recovery because it easily gets corrupted while downloading. And obviously a fully charged device. Let us know how it goes.
