[Q] TWRP Update path for One M8

Hello everyone and have a Merry Christmas,
I'm trying to update my TWRP recovery because I want to go 100% stock. I'm still running TWRP 2.7.0.2. The most recent version of TWRP is 2.8.3.0.
I downloaded the TWRP manager app from the Play store and easily selected the last available version of the recovery to install.
After downloading the .img file, I get a pop up that looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The pop up says: "Be sure that the listed path is correct for your device. An uncorrect check may result in bricking your device. You can't flash a recovery directly on Android on some devices. If you can't flash through Android, please choose a different method".
It looks like a "routine" alert, but nonetheless it sounds very alarming. How can I say if the listed path is the correct one for my device (HTC One M8 unbranded GSM international version)?
Thank you for helping.

why update twrp ? twrp is not stock ! and you can also fastboot flash it. oldskool way

Because the procedure to go stock requires some flashing and it was adviced to have the latest version running.
I'm not such an expert, I'm more the type who tries to read as much as possible before trying anything, and upgrading TWRP was a sort of "pre-step".
Also I'm not very keen to use fastboot: I got that it is great, but it is not very straightfoward for beginners.
The tool from the Play store seemed to do the job pretty good and easily.

What if I flash a custom recovery over a custom recovery? Is it possible to simply flash it and overwrite an already existing custom recovery?

there is no other way, the recovery will always overwrite the old one. its impossible to run 2 recoveries

[Bootlogo] Motorola: Powered by Lineage (N/A removed)

G'day people!
After discovering this Bootlogo for the original moto g, i felt the need for one on the Moto g4 plus since it's the phone I'm using. Basically its the regular moto logo but it's saying "Powered by Lineage" instead of the classic "Powered by Android"

I've not tested this method by myself and therefore not knowing whether it works or not. I'm pretty sure that it works but since I haven't tested it I can't be sure. If you end up using this method, please inform me of the result

Too much chinese characters and bloatwares.

Hey bro, u can easily remove bloatware if u have root
And about Chinese it has some app like temes in Chinese, but u can use it for daily purpose..

I've been using the ROM for a few hours, and I am totally in love with it. It's perfect for Le1s! The only problem I have is the Chinese apps. I'd love to use the global version rather than the Chinese version. Does anybody know the developer and can we have an English version of the ROM? Thanks!

xiaomitool. No more bootloops

Like many of you, I also had the problem that the phone had a bootloop after a flash. No matter what I tried, nothing worked. I found and tried this tool xiaomitool from Francesco. With this tool you can flash any rom without bootloop. Please save your data before
Thus tool does a flash completely automatically. You even didn't need TWRP pre-installed on your device

Hi,
First, I'd like to thank you for finding the tool and publishing it here.
It's a really handy Application.
After moving around in the app quite a bit, I couldn't find any way to install any custom roms.
All it offers - Miui Global/Beta, Chinese Official/Beta roms and some other tweaks (TWRP, SU etc.)
How to flash any other custom Rom..?
Am I missing something here..?
Please describe.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure where this OTA update could be used with custom recovery. even for the stock recovery it seems the whole recovery flash image is required

Thanks @koshikas , I've found a fastboot update
joyeuse_global_images_V12.0.3.0.QJZMIXM_20210419.0000.00_10.0_global_0801ff7d09.tgz
Will I lose all my data with it?

no

just know that fastboot and recovery update methods are not the same

Thanks @koshikas, I know. That's why I'll wait some more experienced people here. I'm afraid to loose some data in the operation. If you've a good link for a ultra safe backup & easy restore I'll love it

MiFlash has options to flash with & without wiping. You can backup with the built-in tool or try Alpha Backup on play store.
Your recovery is outdated and is the reason for the failed flash. Try orangefox or dungphp's TWRP/Pitchblack.
Finally you can force a download of the full rom and not just the update from the updater app. It's in the menu at the top right. If you don't see it tap the 'currently installed' text a bunch.
Or just click here to download
