Can't boot stock recovery - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Everytime I try to boot the stock recovery on my M8, it just hangs at the white htc screen forever and I have to reboot. I've got an unlocked bootloader, S-On, stock rom and rooted. please help!

Have you flashed a custom recovery, e.g. TWRP? If so, which version did you flash and what bootloader does your phone currently have, e.g. 3.16.0000?

Stuck at HTC Logo

Here is what I did
I unlocked the bootloader
I installed CWM
I used CWM to flash superuser
I flashed a ROM (latest MIUI to be specific)
S is also ON. I know it should be off, how can I turn it off at this point?
I can get into recovery, I can install ROMs but the phone will not boot past the HTC logo... help
got a rom to start but now the keyboard keeps crashing :-\
I am wondering if I can get s-off from here? I'm on bootloadeer .98 btw
So, there's two things you can do. You can go back to recovery and download a ROM that's not the current MIUI, which is really buggy. Then, follow my guide #6 in the directory for how to flash ROMs after doing the HTC unlock.
The problem I am having is that I have a custom Recovery installed with S-ON. I need to turn S-Off before I can do any of that. I followed your guide in 6 which links me to a post on installing the recovery, however those instructions state that S must be off. The only ROMs that work are those that resemble stock or install a boot.img in recovery

[Q] ViperOne won't boot

I've got the AT&T HTC One M8. Bootloader unlocked, rooted, S-off, TWRP recovery.
I'm trying to flash ViperOne M8 and done just about everything I can think of but without any luck. It completes install, but upon reboot, just shows the white screen with HTC logo and red text, and then reboots. At that point, I'm able to use ADB to get into recovery but can't boot into ROM.
I've been trying ViperOne 1.6.0, and currently downloading an older version to see if that'll work.
I tried Android Revolution HD and InsertCoin. Both worked fine, so I know I'm able to flash custom ROMs just fine, but not ViperOne. Any ideas?
Tried flashing .img with fastboot and .zip with TWRP, both cause boot loop.

Start from the first release and do the OTA Updates up to 1.6.0.

ZE551ML cannot access recovery after attempted install of TWRP

Hi Guys,
I have been give a Zenfone 2 which cannot reboot into stock recovery or any recovery, basically at the bootloader menu when you select recovery it reboots and goes back to the bootloader menu.
I've installed Rom Manager and it says both TWRP and CWM are installed.
So I believe this has multiple Recoverys and it basically cant use any, I have attempted to flash it back to stock but it wont again even let me into recovery that way.
I was rooted but I fully unrooted it to see if this would make a difference but it made no difference.
The bootloader says unknown and the screen is black on start with the Asus logo so would that suggest it has not got an unlocked bootloader either if so I believe the person who owns the phone tried to flash the untethered version of TWRP without having this unlocked ?
Any ideas how to get this back to stock and a recovery working ?
Thanks
Have you ever tried flashing stock fastboot?
I think the guide of "changing phone's SKU to WW version" can do the trick. Doing this can have official fastboot and recovery flashed on your phone.

How To Flash Custom Recovery for Androidone

So, I was attempting to root my phone(CanvasA1- 4GB) today running stock android marshmallow(6.0.1) , I successfully unlocked the boot loader in fastboot using adb, after which I flashed TWRP recovery, Which was successful but then, When I rebooted into recovery, I saw my old stock google's recovery running , I tried 2-3 more times flashing the recovery in fastboot but the probem was still the same :crying:. Then I came to know that we have to flash a special type of boot img of some 17.5mb approx, When I attempted to flash this "boot" image, I received an error saying file size too large, Hence I couldn't flash it, I am still running the stock recovery, With my bootloader unlocked, I need to root my phone, Please help someone, Thanks in advance .

Twrp flash successful, but cannot boot into it. Only stock recovery show up.

hello there. I have htc desire 816 that runs on android kitkat. I wanted to flash custom rom and followed all the procedures. I rooted my phone using kingoroot and also unlocked the bootloader from htcdev site. I downloaded the twrp image specifically for this phone and flashed it using the official twrp android app. it indicated that flash was successful. i tried to boot into recovery but i could not find twrp . I tried flashing twrp using fastboot but no difference. I even tried flashing cwm . they all indicate that flashing was successful but i couldn't boot into recovery. When I click on Hboot then recovery, it spits me back again to recovery option. Can you please tell me what's wrong here?
