Can't Flash TWRP Recovery

Self-admitted newb here. Been reading up on FAQs and instructions on how to Root my new device and am eager to learn more to eventually fully optimize. I was able to unlock, but when attempting to flash TWRP recovery, it'll just hang forever with this message:
"sending 'recovery' (11976 KB)...".
I confirmed checksums of files downloaded, USB Debugging is flagged, Fastboot is deselected, updated the HTC drivers on my PC, and my S/N is acknowledged with the 'fastboot devices' command. I even did a Factory Reset from bootload screen, as this is a new device with no data on it yet.
Any helpful suggestions on determining next steps would be greatly appreciated!

Agreed, and I was mistakenly attempting to flash twrp-2.8.6.1-m8.img initially . I'm sorry I failed to mention that in the original post and yes, I also did erase cache several times. Re-attempting to flash twrp-2.7.0.1-m8.img is when the 'sending recovery' hang issue comes up.

You have a very old software version. Since your device is S-Off, I suggest :
1. change the MID 0P6B12000 to 0P6B10000
Follow this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708581
2. run 4.16.401.10 RUU.exe - https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B17smFr95pleeTQ5U1NzNkZzM0U/edit?pli=1
RUU will flash your entire phone back to stock including recovery
(as your device is S-Off, no need to lock/relock bootloader)
3. Now you can install the latest TWRP recovery and do whatever you want to do

Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it. Will follow up on the points covered in your post and report back.

Ahh.. you need a rooted ROM to do that change of MID.
Without a custom recovery installed, you may not have a rooted ROM.
Reading back your problem ... the error is stuck at sending recovery, not enter recovery. This is possible if you don't have a proper fastboot/adb files.
Try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
then try to install TWRP recovery again

Correct, sorry if I wasn't being clear about that. I've Unlocked, but not yet rooted hence, the attempt to send TWRP. I haven't yet taken next steps though.

So I've tried using Minimal ADB tool as well. Now instead of hanging, I'm eliciting errors.
target reported max download size of 1830711296 bytes
sending 'recovery' (11976 KB)...
FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 5.023s
I'm running as Administrator in Windows 7, I can hear the PC recognize the phone when I plug it in the USB and I've also confirmed multiple times the 'fastboot devices' command recognizes my phone.
If this might be a USB related issue, how would I go about investigating in that direction? Not sure what is preventing me from simply flashing a TWRP recovery. Any thoughts on this are welcome, thank you.

*bumpity bump*
So I can see 'FASTBOOT USB' in bootloader mode, and the fastboot devices command returns my S/N, but still the adb devices command just returns the message 'list of devices' and nothing else. Attempting to flash TWRP recovery still fails. I've uninstalled all HTC stuff and manually updated the driver to 'MTP USB Device' via Device Manager per redpoint73's advice. Before I give up on this PC, are there any additional steps I can take? Any guidance from you guys would be appreciated, thanks!

First, you don't run adb command when on fastboot mode, only fastboot command will work.
Is the USB 3.0 on PC ? You need USB 2.0
Is your device properly working ?
I like to suggest to flash Dev Edition firmware to your device or simply run the Dev Edition RUU to bring the hboot/software version to the latest version before you try TWRP again.
You have MID/CID that match/fit a Dev Edition device except the software version no.

I guess what most on here would consider to be trivial are to me revelations. Thank you for your response and now I see my device S/N is recognized after running the adb devices command when the phone is running in 'normal' mode! Yes, it is properly working but sadly, all four USB ports on the PC are USB 3.0 I'll read up on your suggestions and reply with questions at that point before taking action. Again with the reading! :cyclops: My concerns here are if stock recovery would continue to work if I go down either of those paths and how the phone is supposed to respond if it's not responding when attempting to flash TWRP. Thanks again for your inputs, I appreciate it!

First .. you need to know your reason to install a TWRP. If you plan to install a custom ROM, it won't properly work because you have a very low version hboot as most custom ROMs require a hboot 3.19.0000
then .. there are other ways to achieve this (all because you have a S-Off device)
1. You can install TWRP using the external_sd (microSD) method but you can only use a lower version TWRP 2.7.x.x or better 2.8.1.0 (because you failed in fastboot method)
2. As I said earlier - install the latest firmware.zip but using the external_sd method too ... but your device may get stuck because your ROM is too low
3. The safest/fastest is install RUU but again you need a USB 2.0 (I'm not sure whether you can install RUU zip using the external_sd method).
4. Back to no. 2 - you can install the firmware.zip using the external_sd method (need to do it twice) then install TWRP again the external_sd method then you need to install a ROM or restore a backup meant for the newer hboot 3.19

The whole point of this exercise is to gain root so that yes, I can have the option of flashing a custom ROM. I noticed in the executable's file name you referenced model M8_UL_L50, but mine is M8_UL_CA. I also noticed its radio version differs from the one listed in my getvar all file. *edit* I've now realized this file is straight from HTC.
Since my current version is so old, is it still OK to run this to update to the latest version rather than updating to an intermediate version before updating to the latest version? Just wanted to confirm before taking any unnecessary action. Thank you again for your patience and the helpful information!

M8_UL - M8 with LTE
L50 - Android L 5.0
CA - US region
Radio version different because yours is old/lower version and this is newer/latest version and you're going to update hboot, radio and many more with this RUU. You need the update in order to install custom ROM as I mentioned before most custom ROMs work only on hboot 3.19.0000
You have S-Off device, you don't need intermediate version ... and most important RUU doesn't need intermediate version because RUU will wipe clean your device and replace all images with those come with it. (So make a backup of your important files to PC)

(solved)Help with update To android M

Today I received the android m update I download it and install stock recovery so I can install the update But every Time I do it gets to the half of the bar and then says install aborted I have tried factory reset and wipe cache nothing worked
I had twrp recovery before And every time I get any update I replace the twrp with stock recovery and it always worked for me until today
Any solution please?????

What did you use TWRP for, or better asked what did you change on your system? Has your system been rooted or the system.img been manipulated in any kind?

If it is rooted the OTA won't be installed as the system partition and thus it's md5 has been changed by mounting it r/w and flashing SuperSU. This is as google and HTC following this guidelines changed the OTA delivery to a block based system where the routine checks if the system has been untouched prior to installing it. You got to restore the untouched image of the system partition for your device. After this you could flash the stock recovery and install the OTA.

Most likely NO.
The above user(s) used TWRP backups to remove changes that were done by root.
Since you never rooted (from the sounds of it) you don't have the same problem.

Thanks redpoint73. So, what do you recommend me to do now? Because, the problem started with the android notification of the update and then the system crashed. Search for a ROM and try to install it?

First of all, you need to understand that ROM and RUU are two very different things.
Also, nobody can advise you the proper RUU is, without knowing some basic information. Namely, do fastboot getvar all, and post the output (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

Hey everyone,
I am trying to get my M8 to stock (been stuck at this for about 10 days now, tried everything). I am from India. There was some problem and I accidentally have a phone now with no OS and TWRP. I have installed stock recovery and plan to flash the ROM/RUU. Some details of my device:

I would really appreciate it if you could guide me how to get my phone to stock OS. The ROM that I should prefer etc. I have been going through a lot of forums and ended up being utterly confused.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Sorry, this is a pet peeve of mine, but I really wish folks would stop posting they "tried everything". This literally tells us nothing, and you should list specifically one-by-one (and in detail) what things you tried, and the results (again in detail) of each.
"Accidentally" appears to mean you unlocked the bootloader, then flashed an very old, obsolete version TWRP (which causes the main version to be blank) then decided it was a good idea to wipe the OS (system)? Again, you need to tell us exactly what steps you took to get to this point.
My next advice to you, is to only do things that are specifically instructed for you to do in your situation. Don't guess or do things without fully understanding them. As your present situation seems to indicate you don't have a very good understanding of what you are doing, and only making matter worse by proceeding with insufficient knowledge.

Your version (CID and MID) is rather obscure, so I'm not sure whether such RUU exists or not. If not, your best bet is to get TWRP back on the phone, and restore the stock nandroid 6.15.720.2 using the files and instructions on the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
Also, flashing stock recovery is not needed to RUU; and not helpful in your current situation (you'll probably need to go back to custom recovery TWRP).

Sorry about the shortened version, just though it might be too big and unnecessary. Okay here goes what happened. I moved the whatsapp media to my laptop (at this time the device was unrooted and running stock android M updated over OTA). After the move, the device was stuck at the splash screen with HTC logo. After this I gave the phone to a service centre (not official HTC) and asked them to NOT root and put stock OS and get the phone working. What they did was, rooted it and installed a custom ROM with TWRM recovery (which was very screwed up, as in the camera kept crashing and I couldn't even use that). So, I decided to get it back to stock ROM and sense UI.
So what I did was looked up some thread (not sure which one) and went ahead to do a wipe through recovery. Here I did the mistake of wiping everything and so the device doesn't have any OS at the moment. The phone is still getting stuck in HTC logo now (obviously as it doesn't have an OS). I have tried to do the following:
1. To flash the boot only using fastboot flash boot and fastboot flash zip commands. The version I tried was stock 3.35.720.1_recovery.img. This didnt seem to work.
2. Next tried to go to usb fastboot mode and tried to run the RUU_M8_UL_M60_SENSE70_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_6.12.1540.4.exe official one from the laptop. But it showed some mismatch of versions and aborted.
3. Then I read that stock could only be flashed on S-ON devices if we relock the bootloader. So used the fastboot oem relock command to relock bootloader and then tried both the above but didn't work.
4. Next saw somewhere that it is pretty impossible to flash on a locked S-ON device. So went to htcdev and got the bootloader unlocked again.
5. Downloaded a stock image 3.35.720.1 Stock Unrooted. Read that we need lower or same stock recovery to flash the same and so flashed the stock recovery of the same version. Next extracted the .win001 and .win002 files using the tar command and finally put them along with META_INF folder and boot.img files into a zip file. The image had the contents of the system folder and tried to flash this using fastboot and also through the stock option "Update from SD card". Got error "E: footer is wrong. E: update signature verification failed".
This is the status so far. I am not sure what I should be doing anymore. Hope this helps in understanding the situation. Sorry it's so long.
Please advice what I should do now. Currently, I have stock recovery installed and no OS. I just want to have the stock sense OS on the device.
Thanks for all your time.

1. Download the 6.15.720.2 RUU.zip : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66309774&postcount=20
2. relock the bootloader with command - fastboot oem lock
option 1 - if you have a microsd
1. rename the downloaded RUU.zip as to 0P6BIMG.zip
2. put it on root of your microsd not in any folder
3. on bootloader select hboot - it will scan the zip and ask you to update.
4. select volume up to update
5. once completed, delete the zip from microsd
option 2
1. Download htc_fastboot.exe : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8L4pkbzdlR3eTlJSjdKVEdHX1U/view
2. put both htc_fastboot.exe and the 0P6BIMG.zip in your fastboot folder
3. run below commands :
fastboot reboot-bootloader (reboot to bootloader to ensure the connection is good)
fastboot oem rebootRUU (put the device in RUU mode)
htc_fastboot flash zip 0P6BIMG.zip (to install RUU - read it is htc_fastboot not fastboot)
Once complete - fastboot reboot
run setup .. done

htc m8 decrypt storage issue

Hie everyone i am new here and i have an htc one m8 which is bootloader locked , s on and i dont have root access nor custom recovery installed .
All other tutorials i found here are more so related to those htc m8 devices with either bootloader unlocked or custom recovery installed and since the device is stuck on decrypt storage page i cant install an RUU firmware exe i downloaded and also i cant install a custom firmware too .
i found a tutorial on how to unlock bootloader and did got my token id from fastboot since it is the only thing working so far and am stuck with the stock recovery so i cannot get into adb mode.
when flashing the unlock code bin file in fastboot it says successfully and the warning page also appears which prompts me to choose to unlock bootloader or not . and after selecting unlock bootloader the device restarts into recovery mode i which i thought i have to factory reset for the bootloader process to be complete but still after factory reset the device boots straight to the decrypt storage page and when i reboot again into fastboot mode the bootloader is still locked like nothing happened . tried all methods to unlock bootloader and not factory reset in hope of getting better results but still its the same problem . so if there is another solution that might help me to unlock my bootloader or flash custom recovery or force it to install my RUU exe firmware without debugging i would greatly appreciate it

ok let me try it and update you with the results

hie when i type fastboot oem rebootRUU it reboots and boots into the system where it shows decrypt storage again . installed htc sync and uninstalled it leaving the drivers installed i dont know what is happening now , what should it display when it is in RUU MODE?

The RUU.exe from your first post?
That will not work for you. That RUU is for AT&T devices. The only way you would be able to flash that would be if you were S-Off and changed you CID to 11111111 (or AT&T's CID)
Take the RUU.zip (6.12.401.4 ~ the 401 being the important part, that is the identifier for your model) and rename the .zip to 0P6BIMG.zip (that's a zero, not the letter). The best way to do rename would be to place it onto your extSD so you can see the .zip extension (it is sometimes hidden on your PC) and use a file explorer so you don't accidentally rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip.zip
Boot to bootloader after this is renamed and on extSD (formatted to FAT32), and you should be prompted to flash it by pressing vol up. When the flash is finished, you'll be prompted to press power to reboot, and you are done.
Hope this helps

Yeah, you can also flash it in fastboot from PC. You'll probably get an "Error 90". That's the hboot pre-update and nothing to worry about. When you get it don't disconnect, just enter the flash command (fastboot flash zip "name of firmware".zip) a second time to reflash it.

sadly i guess i have got a bigger problem than i thought , so i tried with pc using these commands fastboot oem rebootRUU and the devices reboots straight into normal mode , and i did also the extsd tutorial you gave me and the device checks the file and prompts me if i want to continue bt after pressing the vol up button the device reboots again straight into normal mode where i am having the decrypt storage issue .if only i had that usb debugging screen prompt again i guess i would have had better odds since before it failed it actually went into RUU flash mode showing only the htc logo with black background
thank you for the quick response by the way

You can turn on usb debugging in settings > developer options, but it shouldn't be needed for fastboot commands.
Try flashing this firmware.zip first, then run the RUU.zip again.

tried that last firmware zip but just want to confirm if i did the correct procedure ......
i downloaded this file you linked me : M8_6.12.401.4_WWE_TWRP2870.zip renamed it to 0P6BIMG.zip , copied it to my sdcard and and rebooted into bootloader . i could see the checking progress bar but then it just doesnt give me the prompt screen for vol up to continue or vol down to cancel , its just saying press power to reboot.
then tried fastboot oem rebootRUU but the fone is just stubborn and reboots into normal mode again not in RUU mode so i cant flash the zip firmware with fastboot . Another thing i noticed is when i finish unlocking bootloader and gets the success message with continue to unlock bootloader screen and then phone reboots into recovery (stock recovery) there is a chain of errors like "cannot mount data , cannot mount emmc" too but when i repeat the bootloader unlock process again this time with an sdcard in device i get "no cw files in sdcard" message when it reboots into recovery but still the bootloader wont be unlocked despite of repeating the process several times. the phone is still brand new never opened and i think this is somehow software related for i was beginning to think that its hardware issue but an app cause this "device decrypt storage" after the phone rebooted
Any idea where i can get htc mtp device drivers as i have reinstalled my operating system and installed htc syn too but those are the only ones failling to install now am on 32bit windows os , the ones i have downloaded are not installing maybe if those install i might recieve an "allow usb debugging " screen as i did earlier on before the screen didnt want to show up again

do you have any idea what might cause device to reboot into os/normal mode when executing the fastboot reboot-bootloader same as fastboot oem rebootRUU the device quickly reboots and enter into normal mode and does not hold those command . also if have downloaded almost 17 unlockcode.bin files from htc dev i kept on requesting after the bootloader wont get unlocked , it shows unlockcode flashed successfully in command prompt but when device reboots the bootloader is still locked . i still love my htc m8 but it seems i am the only one in this enter forum who has this problem since other are successfully getting their devices fixed :crying::crying:

Can't get past loading screen after factory reset

Hi, my name is Quinn.
Cards on the table, I don't know anything about phones and very little about computers.
So I rooted my phone About two years back and my phone has been acting sluggish for a while so I decided to try putting it back in stock software and updating it to see if it would become quicker. When I tried to install the update there was a thing that said the startup wizard has stopped working so I was trying to delete it and did an advanced wipe on my phone for some reason. Now when I boot it up, it only brings me to the loading screen. The big thing for me is that the factory reset turned off usb debugging and I have no idea how to access my phone from my computer.
I can get to the recovery page, and my bootloader(I think) is unlocked.
Any help would be appreciated.

Let's walk this back for a second. If you had a car with some problems, would you just randomly open the hood, without knowing what you are doing, and start pulling stuff out, without knowing what it was, or what the effect would be? Because that is kinda what you did, by going into the TWRP "Advanced" wipe options.
What you did was not a factory reset. You probably wiped "system" which is the OS (operating system - Android), and therefore you have no OS to boot.
My constructive advise to you, in moving forward, is only do what other experienced users have directed you to do. Don't guess solutions, make things up, etc. Don't do anything unless you have a good understanding of what the result will be; or if you were instructed to do so by a knowledgeable person. Make sense?
Now let's get you back up and running. Doing so will take some steps, and take some time. You may (almost certainly) learns some things in the process.
Do you by any chance remember if you ever made a backup of the ROM using TWRP? You can check this by booting into TWRP, selecting RESTORE, and seeing if it identifies any available backups. However, if you wipe internal storage and/or the SD card; even if you had previously made a backup, it would be gone now.
On the bootloader screen (the white screen where you can select recovery) what does it say for OS number? If its blank, what does it say for hboot number and radio number?
On that same bootloader screen, it will indicate at the top whether the bootloader is UNLOCKED or RELOCKED (or LOCKED, but its probably not that one). Tell us which one.

This only affects adb commands. You will find fastboot commands will still work, when booted properly into bootloader-fastboot mode.
Also, if booted into TWRP, you should be able to access the phone's internal storage and SD card (if one is inserted) from your computer.

Describe step by step, what you did, and in as much detail as possible (files used - exact names, results of each step, any other observations).

My Bootloader is unlocked

I didn't get far at all with installing stock. I just had the intention. I tried to use some program to install the stock firmware, but my phone couldn't connect to my computer.

No, I did the factory reset, thinking that would undo my rooting, but it didn't. At this point it was still working and I thought that it was fine, but then I couldn't take pictures or anything so I installed major update from my phone and that's when the startup wizard wouldn't work. I then did the wipe and used a program I got from htc rom downloads from their support page. I thought it was a program that installed stock roms on your phone? But it couldn't connect and did nothing to my phone.

You mean an over-the-air (OTA) official update? I'm confused how that would even install. It normally will fail if the phone is rooted, and also won't install with TWRP on the phone.

You'll need to also issue fastboot command from your PC's command prompt (with phone connected, and booted to fastboot mode). To do that, you'll need to find where fastboot.exe is on the PC. You might find it at (where it is on my PC): C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Sync Manager\HTC Sync
After you find it, hovering the mouse cursor over the window (where fastboot.exe is located) do Shift + Right Mouse Click, and from the pulldown menu, select "Open command window here".
In the command window, type: fastboot getvar all
Then copy and paste the output, and post it (delete IMEI and serial number before posting). To copy in command prompt, right mouse click, select "Mark" then highlight the area you want to copy. Press Ctrl + C to copy. Then go to your forum post window, and Ctrl + V to paste. And remember again to delete IMEI and serial number before posting.

Well, I was also the one who rooted the phone, so I probably did it poorly somehow. Yeah the over the wifi one. The update failed the first time, but then I just tried again and it went though and that was the point where I got the startup wizard is not responding message that wouldn't let me pass.
Ok, give me a second to do that.

Another fastboot command. Enter the following:
fastboot oem lock
On the bootloader screen (after an auto reboot, I believe) you should see the bootloader say RELOCKED near the top.
Next go to the following page, and download the 4.25.654.18 RUU under where it says "Previous RUUs":https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
After you download the RUU, open it, and it should install the full stock factory image, Lollipop version. The phone should be running after that. And since you are connected to Sprint, you should soon get an update, which will bring you up to Marshmallow.
You can also RUU right to Marshmallow, but it takes more steps. You would have to flash MM firmware (more fastboot steps) before you can do the MM RUU. So that is why the LP RUU may be easier for your. But if you are interested in doing RUU right to MM (instead or LP RUU, then OTA update) then let me know, and I'll walk you through it.

I got it re-locked and everything, but my phone still wont connect to my computer. The Rom utility still says that it cannot connect.
View attachment 4009482
And I know that it's not just the USB because I already issued fastboot commands perfectly fine.
Does the phone still have to be in fastboot?

ShaferQ said:

Yes. Is that how you are trying to run the RUU? If so, try a different USB port, different cable, if possible. The RUU is much more finicky than fastboot commands.
If all fails, and you have an SD card, you can use the SD method of RUU (no PC needed): Go back to the thread, download the zip version of the RUU. Rename to 0P6BIMG.zip, put on the SD, then reboot to bootloader, it will detect the RUU and auto install it.

You are a freakin life saver, thank you so much for helping me. I really really appreciate it.

Black screen with red triangle is the stock recovery. So that is expected. Hold vol up, and press and release power button, to show the stock recovery menu options.

That message is expected when trying to flash custom recovery with a locked bootloader. TWRP is only going to flash if the bootloader is unlocked.
Since you are s-off, you can also try the following method to unlock the bootloader: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708571
However, I agree with the previous reply, given the random bugs and behavior, it is best to RUU to a full stock factory image. RUU will wipe the phone, but it sounds like you are trying to wipe user data, anyway. You have the Sprint version M8, and the correct RUUs are here (do not try RUU for any other M8 version! permanent damage is possible):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
You can try any of the RUUs there. But note that if you try the Marshmallow RUU, you will have to flash corresponding Marshmallow firmware.zip before the RUU will install properly (this is clearly indicated in red caps text on the linked thread).
I also agree with the previous response. The behavior is really suspicious (changes don't "stick", bootloader does not unlocked) and NAND failure is a real possibility, especially if the problems persist after RUU.

also i wanna mention that this phone came from china and i read abt this Region\carrier codes so maybe while someone trying to fix it change it to Sprint[US] (dk if that is possible) (i'm just guessing i dk if we could use this information)

Both HK and non-HK versions have the same model number 0P6B70000. The only different is in software/firmware.
Your OS number in getvar (3.30.651.2) leads me to believe it was originally non-HK (the "651" signifies this). But it's possible that the previous seller changed it from HK to non-HK (although I'd say that is unlikely).
Really since you are SuperCID, either RUUs will work (HK or non-HK). You can try 3.30.651.2, or the one you downloaded 4.25.651.14 is fine as well.

The .exe format RUU is probably the simplest method. PC is required.
Do not unzip or do anything special to the RUU. Connect the phone to PC, with phone in bootloader mode. You should be able to just double click the exe file, and it should launch the application, which just walks you through the installation.
Are you saying you double clicked the exe file, and nothing happened? Or that it fully installed, but the phone is in the same state?

No, that isn't possible. The Sprint version M8 is different from all other versions. Trying to flash Sprint version firmware/RUU to any other M8 version results in a radio brick (no SIM, no cell service).
We see on this forum a lot of folks with the Sprint version M8 which have been made s-off and SuperCID (by seller/vendor) to unlock them for use in other countries, and to appear "unbranded" (when they are in fact, far from it).

your Help is much appriciated

It did nothing bcuz phone was on bootloader menu but when i tried RUU while phone was booted , wizard moved on to the next step ,
wizard tried to flash RUU but it's stuck on waiting for bootloader , and instead of the phone boot into bootloader it just reboot into the same restore point as if nothing happened.
