4: I installed the ruu from dottat kitkat 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 and installed the ruu version of twrp 2.7.0.8 and 2.7.1.12 and still recovery does not load. This is after installing an ruu and wipes the phone completely.
5:I have tried everything that has been suggested including running the commands from a linux terminal.
If anybody knows how to fix this please help!

Educate me: what's an RUU version of TWRP, as opposed to any other kind?
Which precise filename(s) of TWRP are you trying, where are you getting them?

they are in zip format and can be downloaded from dottat thread in the developer section. you use the command fasboot flash zip "filename"

OK, thanks.
But what's wrong with the file format that most everyone uses for a recovery installation, which isn't a *zip file, but a *img file?

It is my understanding that img files can be flashed directly from fastboot or flashify etc. the zip file contains the image file and also a txt file and can only be flashed while your phone is in ruu mode "fastboot oem rebootRUU"
since there is 2 files that it why it is zipped. the txt file contained in there is the istructions that tell the rom update utility how to flash the enclosed recovery image file.

Then flash your recovery again and see what you have.

I have tried that command, it does not solve recovery not loading. Trust me I have tried every suggestion I can find on the internet and nothing solves this. I am hoping someone out there has knowledge of exaclty how the recovery partition works because at this point it would appear that the recovery partition on my phone is either not being written to or is corrupted.

When you flash the ruu mode twrp put a -w on the end of the command.

Is a sure sign that something isn't set up right for flashing to the device.
It will never work if that is the result in terminal.
Are you using Usb 2.0 and the original data cable that is meant for the device?
I think you probably never successfully flashed any recovery.
I would advise trying a cable meant for this device.

I am using the htc cable that came with the phone. I will double check that I am using USB 2.0 and try a different cable.
I also noticed wihen flashing with rom toolbox pro is says successful yet also says #error: cannot locate recovery partition
Is it possible my recovery partitiion is not there?
I just tried several cables including the the one from htc. I also made sure I was using a usb 2.0 port. I still get the failed(remote not allowed)
Thank you for the help btw.
Hi, I think I have figured this one out. I changed my phone from blue to red. Verizon only offers silver or blue. Anyway I thought I might have damaged my motherboard, So I bought a silver verizon htc one off ebay with a cracked screen. (easy fix). So I swapped the hardware from the silver to my red and with a new board in the red shell twrp does not load. However my old board wich twrp would not load on is now in the silver shell and twrp now loads. Bottom line the red shell is the problem.

Update. The red shell is 100% to blame for recovery software not loading. I did some more tinkering with two m7 motherboards and in a stock verizon silver shell twrp loads. Both board when in the red shell, twrp does not load.
If anyone out there was thinking of converting their blue or silver verizon m7 to a different color. Be warned that your recovery software will probably not load once you transfer the hardware over to the new shell.
I guess if I want a red htc one that twrp works on, I have to get a m8

Or just.... Paint it with a good quality modeling paint (like you buy for model cars, boats, etc). It is durable and lasts if you know how to coat it correctly.

Doesn't seem to me that you solved the initial problem, just found a work around for it. I have the same problem with my phone not accepting the stock recovery for what ever reason. It will, however, accept the TWRP recovery, but this doesn't do me any good wrt warranty returns. before I S-On and Lock it, I need to have the stock recovery installed.

Have you tried ruu? That should flash the stock recovery and everything else stock. Need to ruu when you s-on to ensure everything is okay before turning secure flag on.

I have RUU'd the following and in different orders:
5.28.605.2_NoBoot-IMG_firmware.zip
VZW.M7.5.28.605.2.PN0731IMG.zip
as well as "fastboot flash recovery 5.28.605.2_Stock_recovery.img"
all with a scattering of "fastboot erase cache".
The flash says it is successful, but when I boot to recovery, the screen graphics are garbage and when not garbage, it's the ! droid after the usual 15-20 sec blank screen. When I flash TWRP either via flash recovery or RUU that takes and works just fine. But this obviously isn't a "back to stock" set up.

Have you tried the 2.x.y.z signed ruu in santod's stock Rom/firmware thread? Unsigned ruus are good, but sometimes a signed, official ruu gets the job done that unofficial ones can't.

Is the signed one located here? I have not only because I have not read that one can go backwards, especially that far back. Can this be done successfully? What are the risks? Does the signed RUU contain all he necessary files to restart after the flash, are there any supporting flashes necessary (HBOOT, Recovery, Radios, etc.) Is this a viable solution or a shot in the dark which could brick the device?
Thanks for the on-going troubleshooting. I'm not trying to be a pain, just being careful since I am unfamiliar with the bootload/security features build into the system.

Hi everybody
I have a M8 GPE unlocked/un-rooted/s-on with stock 4.4.4 and today i said that I will not wait for the OTA to come, and decided to flash it myself.
When going to recovery i saw that there is no option to adb sideload a file, strange, so I booted in TWRP (not flashed) and tried to sideload from there. I could not make the ADB sideload work in TWRP also because of some errors, and I tried the install zip option. When flashing the OTA zip I got an error saying that the required version is *4.4.4* and that i had *4.4.2*. I know for sure that I had 4.4.4 because i got the update myself and apply it automatically from within android.
Trying to do a factory reset in TWRP in order to try again the OTA zip file, i wiped the system partition (my bad) and since then i am stucked in bootloader/recovery without any way to boot into OS.
I tried to reboot into RUU and flash RUU-HTC_One_M8_GPE_5.0.1-3.11.1700.5.zip, but i get the error (probably because i am s-on):
