Issues with flashing TWRP on S-Off GPE M8 - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Every time i flash the latest TWRP for the HTC One M8 GPE on the newest update 6.0.1 June security update, when flashed in fastboot, once it completes, it will automatically boot into twrp, i select the option to allow system modifications, and when i reboot into system it boots just fine, but when booting back into the bootloader, and into TWRP I'm greeted with this screen.
any help would be appreciated, i tried searching the forum, but had no luck finding anyone else with this issue

Because you use command
fastboot boot NameOfTWRP.img
To correctly install TWRP, use command
fastboot flash recovery NameOfTWRP.img

Thanks for the prompt reply!, I'll give it a try when i get home!

So i had success flashing TWRP properly, and can now boot into it, back up my OS etc, however, when i flash the latest version of chainfire root via TWRP i get a boot loop every time, I'm wiping the cache after preforming the flash, have any ideas what i might be doing wrong?

What version number SuperSU are you using exactly? A lot of times, folks use what they think is the "latest", but when asked what version number, we find out its not even close to current (which has the common result of bootloop).

Phone and TWRP won't start, stuck in bootloader

Tried to install 11/16 version of Project Nexus and vendor image via flashify but forgot that I needed to update TWRP to the latest version first to fix that it was asking me for an encryption password that I had never set.
Now i'm stuck in the bootloader. If I try to go to recovery, the TWRP splash screen displays but never loads further.
I attempted to use ADB to re-install but i get error: device '(null)' not found. I've tried several different drivers but can't get any to work.
Any ideas?

I renamed the recovery file for ease of use (as you can see in the screenshot). It appeared to work but now the TWRP splash screen doesn't show after reboot when I select recovery.

I wiped everything and tried to flash that, it flashed but after a restart I still can't open recovery.
[Resolved] I was able to flash the system image after wiping and boot the phone. Thank you for the help.
Reflash the twrp recovery 3.0.2.3 2 or 3 perhaps the adb installation don't work for me too i reflash and reflash when i reboot in twrp
Or try "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
And. "fastboot boot recovery.img

EXACT same situation. For me windows 10, won't recognize bootloader. Nexus 7 2012, it had 3.0.0 0, was trying to upgrade to 3.0.2.0, stupidly used FlashFire since bootloader not seen in Windows. Now can't boot into Recovery.

Win10 didn't work for me, too. On Ubuntu it was easy (or older Windows)
1st for repairing go back to firmware.

Can't install TWRP on Oneplus3

I'm having trouble installing TWRP on my Oneplus 3.
I can install it fine through Fastboot, it installs without problem.
But when I actually want to go to the recovery menu (by selecting it in the bootmenu), the screen flickers briefly and I'm returned to the bootmenu.
However, I have found a way to boot TWRP.
When I use the All in One Toolkit, there is the option "Flash TWRP AND Boot it".
This way I can get in TWRP, but as soon as I reboot, I'm having the same problem..
Has anyone experienced this before or know what to do?
Never experienced this problem. But are you sure that you use the correct version of TWRP for your ROM?
And did you try not to flash it via fastboot but just boot it? The command is
fastboot boot recovery twrp.img

M8s stuck in bootloader

Hello everyone. I got a M8s from a friend wich is stuck in bootloader. The recovery didn't work at the begin, so I flashed twrp-recovery-2.8.6.0-m8s-qlul.img (flashing recovery using htc_fastboot.exe flash recovery theimagename.img) and it worked, then I tried to install a custom ROM Android_Pandora_Rom_1.2_(Discontinued).zip wich went all the steps fine until: Optimizing applications 8 of 204..then phone shat down to black screen. I booted back to bootloader, recovery, wiped and go for a new install, same issue.
After that, I was going to install lineage-13.0-20170715-UNOFFICIAL-m8qlul.zip where the developer of this rom recommends twrp-3.0.2-0-m8ql.img so I tried to flash it (flashing recovery using htc_fastboot.exe flash recovery theimagename.img), then tried to acces recovery, brings me back to bootloader so fast, rebooted bootloader, tried again, same problem. Tried the fasboot erase cache, no help.
The Hboot state is Unlocked and the S is ON. I tried some other recovery images, as stock_signed or 3.0.1, tried the one from M8 ToolKit but all failed and I still can't access recovery, everyting I do, it brings me back to bootloader. I did htc_fastboot boot recoveryfile.img wich works, but useless, the dd if= method to set the recovery permanent load did not work after reboot, /data and /system can't be mountet, it seems the "boot recovery" option is 99% readonly.
Any advice, any help please? It would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Hi McBad,
you could try the following. I also had some problems to access the recovery.
- Again bring the phone into fastboot, flash the 2.8 recovery and access it
- Do a wipe for factory reset, not just only cache
- after that try to flash the twrp-3.0.1-0-m8ql.img version, the other one worked for me neither
- the try to install the custom ROM LOS13
I hope this will help you.

It would be great if that would work, but flashing a recovery does not work. I flash it, success message, try to access it, vibrates and bootloader pops back instantly. That is the problem.
Sorry for double post, but can anyone help me with this? This is the second day I struggle to make it work. Any chance to make the hboot locked again? It didn't work with oem lock command. I would like to lock it so I can put an official zip on sdcard so the hboot to restore it to factory stock, some RUU. Or get it s-off so I can flash a rom from fastboot? The phone does not have any ROM on it, image crc results system 0x0, recovery 0x0. Please, help!
Have you tried sideloading twrp ?

Did you use HTC fastboot ?
Yes, I used htc_fastboot. Use sideloading? Like boot the img file directly? Tried that too.

Is there any way you could flash twrp 2.8 again? Once in that recovery you have sideloading option which you could use to transfer latest recovery onto your device. Are we talking about the same process?

You can't install lineage if you haven't upgraded your device with latest official update. I would try reinstaling twrp 2.8, do a wipe of cache, dalvik cache and system, Sideload CM 12; and see how it goes. As well, while in twrp I would try relocking bootloader but only after an unsuccessful attempt to flash said rom. I don't know what your experience with soft bricked devices is, but sometimes it takes a while, different usb cable or usb slot on your PC, correct files in adb folder, re-download of rom or recovery because it easily gets corrupted while downloading. And obviously a fully charged device. Let us know how it goes.

Stock recovery automatically replace

Goodmorning, I've a strange problem with flashing recovery.
I used lastest fastboot
I've flashed the recovery (fastboot flash...) Then booted into it directly (fastboot boot recovery...) And obviously problems with mounting data.
The real problem is that when I reboot system , twrp is automatically erased and stock recovery is mounted.
I've tried everything, new recovery,new fastboot...
Please help me
That's standard with a lot of OEM ROMS on many different phones. You can flash magisk or SuperSU to preserve your flashed twrp.

That won't work, the no-verity-opt zip is needed to preserve twrp or it will always revert back to the stock one.
Go here

And DL the TWRP & no-verity-opt-encrypt 1.6
follow the directions starting with

- flash latest twrp https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomimimix2.html
- reboot to recovery with hardware keys (volume-up + power) immediately after flashing
That solved the problem for me.

Unable to boot into TWRP recovery (twrp-3.2.3-1 dumpling/OOS 9.0.3 Pie)

Hey Guys,
somehow, I seem to be too dumb to install TWRP to my new dumpling. I did the following:
- run the official updates (9.0.3 Pie)
- unlock the bootloader using adb
- successfully flash the latest TWRP recovery (twrp-3.2.3-1 dumpling from their HP)
So far, no problems at all. Then I booted directly into recovery, so it won't be overwritten again: I tried unplug + Power/Volume Down, command "fastboot reboot recovery" and selecting recovery from the menu. But everytime I end up with the beautiful stock recovery, I never even saw the TWRP interface.
Any suggestions ? Any help would be much appreciated!!
My only idea: The latest TWRP is from 08/2018, maybe its not compatible to Pie ?!

hi dude, to stay on TWRP you have to flash MAGISK, if not TWRP will always be overwritten by the StockRecovery!!
flash TWRP
reboot into TWRP
flash Magisk within TWRP
reboot system
happy flashing!

hi dude, sorry - now i got you
# after flashed TWRP unplug your device and reboot directly into the bootloader-mode (‘Volume Up’ + ‘Power’ button altogether) and navigate to 'Recovery' or
# fastboot boot 'recovery.img'
i recommend flashing twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.91_treble-op5_op5t.img : https://github.com/engstk/android_device_oneplus_cheeseburger/releases
SOLVED
I tried the 9.x recovery from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-8-0-8-1-t3729673
works like a charm!
I thougth, the official TWRP site would be the best source, but well... lesson learnt. Anyway, thanks for trying to help, nicorvienne
