[Q] Stuck in bootloader

I've been trying to flash an AT&T HTC One M8 with the GPe ROM found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706441
I've used this guide and everything went fine: http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-to/unlock-bootloader-root-your-htc-one-m8-0154444/
I was in the TWRP Recovery and wanted to format the internal sd card for a fresh start, so I formatted. Afterwards I was unable to get back into the recovery, for some reason I can't erase or format recovery using fastboot, erasing the cache and flashing the recovery image again only brings me to a flickering TeamWin screen, then tries to normally boot but nothing is there for it to boot into so it just sits in a boot loop.
I've tried Philz recovery as well. That works for a little bit but after 10-15 seconds the phone tries to boot normally again and I get stuck in the boot loop.
I tried running `fastboot oem rebootRUU`, that brought me to a black HTC screen and gave me the ability to use fastboot. In RUU mode, I erased the cache again and reflashed the recovery, then erased the cache again and rebooted to fastboot. Tried to boot into Recovery and was greeted with the flickering TeamWin logo and a boot loop.
Can anyone give me a hand here?

if you are able to go to RUU mode.. I would suggest you install the Google Play Edition RUU found here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708589
This should set you to the GPE that you were on.
If you want to go back to sense.. flash the AT&T 1.58 RUU that was posted in the ATT forum. (make sure you remove the tampered and relocked flag before you do that).

Doesn't the ruu post say that the flash will fail the first time and if you try it again it should go thru.

Yes, and I did try twice but got the same error both times (the error I got was different than in the example). I just realized I don't have S-Off, but am stuck in bootloader without any access to `adb`

You can also boot a recovery without actually flashing it. Once in boot loader try
flashboot boot recovery.img
Use the actual name of the recovery image instead of recovery.img.
Make sure the twrp or whatever recovery you are using is in the same folder.

How can I make my phone S-Off without any access to ADB though? I'm pretty much stuck in Bootloader/Fastboot

if you are able to do fastboot commands.. try using the firewater s-off http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/
you may not be to do this either since you said you don't have adb. Can't help you beyond here.. If you are able to get to RUU mode.. I would suggest trying flashing RUUs since they are most comprehensive.
Did you try flashing the sense RUU?

I used `flashboot boot` with TWRP and Philz and both are acting as if they were flashed and booted into; I'm still having the same flickering issues with TWRP and Philz works for a brief period, but for both of them, after 10-15 seconds they both try to boot normally and get stuck in a loop. If i can use adb long enough before it reboots maybe that'd help...
But why is the recovery rebooting after 10-15 seconds? is it because I'm S-On?

could be.. but you technically do not need to be s-off to flash a custom recovery. You only need to unlock your bootloader.
Have you tried fastboot flash boot.img?
of course. you need to get hold of a boot.img file first. I read somewhere once that If you are bootloader unlocked instead of S-Off, you also need to fastboot flash a boot.img after each time you flash a ROM from recovery.

Using Philz, I see that it can't mount or open anything in `/cache/`... I'm guessing that that's because I wiped the internal storage with TWRP initially. Is there anyway I can mount my phone and add the directories manually?
It really sounds like I need access to ADB but I can't run anything because nothing can mount the internal storage.

In the bootloader, what is next to OS-?
You tried 'fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.2-m8.img'?

I've tried that now. It looks as if it's trying to boot but then I just end up back in the bootloader. I'll try with a different image.
In the mean time: I had managed to get Philz CWM formatting the storage properly (with /system, /data, etc), and without any errors that it couldn't mount /cache/recovery (because I had managed to format /cache manually before it rebooted). It's still rebooting 10-15 seconds after booting into recovery, even in the middle of formatting...
I have done more exploring in between reboots and it doesn't look like there's an `/sdcard` directory that it can mount either

Try flashing the recovery using the htc one all-in-one toolkit. see if that helps. I'm pretty much out of ideas beyond this point.

UPDATE
As mentioned in my initial post, I wiped/formatted my internal memory so I have no internal file structure.
My attempts at booting into or flashing a recovery are failing after 10-15 seconds since they can't mount to anything in the internal memory.
I'm stuck in Bootloader and it seems like the only tool I can utilize is `fastboot`.
I'm currently looking for a way to restore a file structure to my internal memory.

You tried 'fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.2-m8.img'?

What about flashing the stock recovery and then trying a factory wipe?

Don't worry. You will get this even if you flash the stock recovery or the stock kernel via fastboot. Just reboot to recovery and it will be fine.

Reboot to recovery after flashing the twrp image. Then reboot your device from recovery.
If you reboot your phone from fastboot aftwr flashing twrp, it gets overwritten by stock recovery.

He is right. Flash twrp and boot into recovery, if you boot normally, it will patch back the recovery.

@Silesh.Nair is right. Even if you flash stock boot.img or recovery.img, you will get the error but just flash and reboot to recovery immediately(if you boot normally, stock rom will replace twrp with stock recovery). i do believe that Moto is just trying to scare us not to flash anything via fastboot

Okay folks, we are now Official Enjoy!

Hi ... the phone is bootloader unlocked and twrp installed and xposed is installed as well
now if there is an Android N update .... can i still update my phone and if no ... how do i update my phone
(supersu) is not installed

The recovery I posted before was for bl24 usa version ORRRREEEEEOOOOO ONNNNLLYYY. You need to get correct recovery_ramdisk.img and kernel.img for your device. First flash stock recovery_ramdisk in twrp as img. When you select the recovery img twrp will ask you where you want to install it. Select ramdisk recovery. If you rooted your device than you need kernel. You need to flash that in fastboot. Make sure your frp is unlocked. If you don't flash kernel your device won't reboot. To extract those img for your device. You need to download update.zip for your device. Google Huawei update extractor. Download that. Select update zip in application then update.app. Extract kernel.img and recovery_ramdisk.img.
To get update.zip for your device download Huawei firmware finder in play store. Download only update.zip
In Huawei update extractor you will get an error when trying to open update.zip. go to settings and unclick first box in settings and try open. You will see like 20 or 30 files.

Thnks bro

Perfect time to find this post. I am getting the OTA update notification but it won't install on TWRP. My strategy is to return to stock (unrooted and stock recovery) to get the OTA. Once I am on that, get TWRP and Resurrection Remix.

Think I just might flash both in fastboot. If I put the files in my folder with my adb, what would the commands be?
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img
fastboot flash kernel KERNEL.img

What state should the phone be in for this? TWRP recovery? Bootloader? Booted to Android?

My reboot options in TWRP are System, Power off, Recovery, and Bootloader.
Assuming Bootloader is the one I am to select?
Sorry for all the questions...i have never restored stock kernel or recovery. Just trying to get it back to stock to take the OTA so I can get back to TWRP and install Resurrection Remix.

Is frp and bootloader unlocked when rebooting to fastboot both are red?

Any working TWRP for EMUI Oreo 8.0?

"fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" doesn't work. Gives me an "FAILED (remote: partition length get error)" error while I tried to flash TWRP that I downloaded from "unlock bootloader" XDA page. I have unlocked my bootloader, but couldn't install TWRP and proceed further. Noob here. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
This is what I got:

number 2 is correct, as long as your twrp.img is correct oreo recovery.
number 3 has put twrp into your (boot) , this is possibly a bad move.

Im on oreo and am using this twrp on my L24 https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-lite/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3783447. I used the 0.3.img. I've used it to backup and then flashed magisk 16 with no problems.

Did you make the backup through TWRP or ADB? I'm using the same one and every time I go to make a back up it fails at system.img. Also do you know how to use decryption with it?

stuck on logo screen

Hold upppppppp.
Don't use Huawei p10 recovery. I tried it and it just got me stuck on the TWRP splash screen.
Just do "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk complete_twrp_ramdisk.img"
I use this and it works flawlessly.

I would advise not to flash SuperSU. Magisk is the way to go. And you don't give enough details so I (and other people) can't really help you.
You're flashing it through TWRP?

When I first installed the p10 recovery it did hang up on the splash screen for at least a minute. But, now when I enter recovery it hangs more like ten or fifteen seconds.
