Unable to update recovery

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

Flash Custom Recovery but Recovery is still Stock

So, I have the X9046 variant, and I've tried to use the TWRP recovery here.
I went into fastboot, did fastboot flash recovery <recoverynamehere>.img, with no errors. But, when I reboot into recovery it goes into the stock recovery.
I even did fastboot boot <recoverynamehere>.img, and it would just be stuck in fastboot, until I forced a reboot.
Any ideas?

I've used that before, and I've had the same problem.

No error during process ?
What are your build ?
stock or custom rom ?
Did you try to unlock bootloader ?

If you're running ColorOS, there might be a script that's part of ColorOS that restores the stock recovery. Not sure. (It's a common thing to see in most OEM firmware releases)

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
