Instructions are a bit wanky. You need to be in download mode for the instructions to work. Had similar issue.

I tried going into download mode and then doing "fastboot boot recovery.img" so that I could take a nandroid in it's current stock form before flashing the TWRP recovery. All i got was a "Start Downloading" Prompt and when I'd select it, the device kept saying "Under Flash" over and over again. Any idea of what to do or do I have to take the plunge and flash the boot with the recovery image?

you can't boot recovery
you need to flash TWRP 2.8.6.4 beta
Make a nandroid and save it to your pc
In TWRP Terminal use this command
Code:
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system /system
Reboot recovery and your ready to start flashing SuperSU / roms

8. How do I backup stock recovery prior to flashing TWRP?
You can't. The "fastboot boot" command appears to be disabled on the M9's ABOOT, so TWRP must be fastboot flashed over stock recovery. The firmware zip included in the OTA will include a usable stock recovery image. That can be extracted and flashed after stock system is restored so that the OTA can be applied.

You need to be in download mode to unlock the bootloader.
Follow this guide by KingInTheNorth to unlock your bootloader and root.
Just a small note: if you're on a 5.1 stock rom, you need to enable OEM unlock in developer options first.

As long as its not a verizon branded phone, you may be able to unlock it at www.htcdev.com/bootloader.I say may be because im not sure about a demo device, and whats different on that than a regular phone.

the difference is that i can not store any data in the phone. the app named "demo" keeps popping up automatically. and when it does my all data is gone like my contacts, messages, even the pictures.
in settings there are some option which i can not change, like i can not lock the phone or enter in the security section.
The phone is international version, i tried to unlock it from htcdev but for that u must be able to enter in FASTBOOT nd that OEM option in developer setting must be enabled. i am not able to enter any of those. No fastboot option in Settings. nd when i boot to Bootloader mode there is no option like fastboot. i hope this will make u understand what im trying to say! thannks

I dont know if its a demo thing, but general m9's dony even have the oem option in developer settings. There is no fastboot option to select in the bootloader, you just use a cmd prompt on your pc while in bootloader to type fastboot oem get_identifier token. Mabey i still dont understand.
In settings - display and gestures look for daydream and see if it gives you the option to shut it off. Or go to manage apps find daydream and see if you can disable it. I believe demo mode is part of daydream. Also may be called basic daydream. Also look for any other apps that say demo and try to disable them.

Not working Nexus 5X

I can't run Nexus 5X after flash stock firmware.
Phone restarts when is boot animation.
I have locked bootloader.
Please help

reboot to fastboot, use a computer with fastboot drivers and use the following commands...
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata
And NEVER uncheck that "allow unlocking" box

bootloader does not have to be unlocked for those commands.

Once you try the above suggestions, download the latest OTA and ADB sideload it. No unlocked bootloader required. The instructions on how to sideload are on the download page.

uhm, from what I remember from the Nexus 6 brick disaster due to locked bootloader + disabled OEM unlocking + fail OTA, people were claiming that they couldn't do those 2 commands either with a locked bootloader.

I haven't tested with the latest bootloaders, but I thought I recalled you couldn't do any write operations through the bootloader when it was locked.

Thank You
Thank you all for your answers, I will give tomorrow to repair. I will answer when I get it back and write what was the cause.
They gave me money for the phone, topic is closed.

Help ...Lost radio doing a firmware update.

I was trying to update my firmware and it flash successfully but on reboot my radio was grayed out with a slash through it.

Holy schnykies, since last Friday I did the same thing and have been around the world wide web and finally thanks to this thread I found an answer. At first the erase worked for a minute till I rebooted. Then after trial and error, I did the fastboot command then data wipe, then full system wipe did my data finally stick. I thank you guys for the much needed help

After getting my phone back up and working again, I tried to install some custom roms, Bad Boyz and viper 10 to be specific. Every time when I try to do a new rom I get limited service and and I'm only allowed to make emergency calls. Do you have any ideas? I never seemed to have this problem till I s-off ed my phone. When I go back to my stock rom using ruu my phone works. I can reinstall twrp and root without any problems. Its only when I install custom rom I have this issue.

When you flashed Viper10, did you choose the proper version in Aroma/TWRP? It'll ask if you are WWE, US Unlocked, Verizon, etc?

I'm using TWRP 3.0.2-6. I'm am aware of it asking you for your phone version that you speak of; from previous version of venom roms I used on another device. But now that you mention it, I don't remember it asking me when I installed viper10

Booting straight to bootloader

I was messing about... as you do!!
I think I corrupted the boot img and my phone boots straight to the bootloader menu, no s-off, i want to go back to stock anyway to get my phone on N firmware.
My question is, do i have to oem re lock before I apply the RUU or has this changed since I last done this? or do I do it after or not at all?
\cheers

If you extract the ROM.zip from the RUU.exe, you should be able to flash that via the SDcard method without relocking your bootloader first.

Or maybe your volume key is stucked?
Sounds stupid but that happened once to me

yeah ended up extracting them to the twrp folder although it started booting using that but it wouldnt accept my pin to decrypt, eventually got Lineage 14.1 running and then leedroid's rom and it decrypted fine.

HTC 10 cannot enter recovery mode; this build is for development purposes only

Hello there,
After unlocking my bootloader, flashed a new recovery twrp I tried to enter the recovery mode. It keeps showing a red message saying "This build is for development purposes only" and after a while reboots to bootloader menu without allowing me to enter recovery mode. Any guesses?
Thank you in advance!

Which recovery version did you flash? And what did you do to enter recovery mode?

Hello,
It's the twrp-3.0.2-2-pme.
When phone is off, I push the volume down and the power button to enter to download mode, after that boot to bootloader and to recovery. That is when an HTC logo appears with this strange red message and after a while it reboots to bootloader mode.

You may need to do the RUU for your exact model to get things right again.

This phone is new to you I assume since you stated that you've just unlocked the bootloader, but your CID is changed to SuperCID and that wouldn't be done without some previous modifications?
You have a Sprint device (according to your MID), so SuperCID is useless. You can only use Sprint firmware on a Sprint model.
What does it say next to "OS" in download mode? It should be x.xx.651.x
I would suggest you run the newest Sprint RUU. The RUU will wipe your phone, but since it's new to you that shouldn't matter. Plus unlocking the bootloader already wiped it.
Click on this link.
Scroll down to the "Manual System Update Instructions" and read them. The RUU download is at the end of the instruction.
After you've run the RUU, flash TWRP 3.1.1-0 again and it should work.
EDIT: I forgot to mention the red warning "This build is for development purposes only". That is nothing to worry about. You get it after you unlock the bootloader

I'll try to put the stock RUU again and flash directly the twrp, without unlocking the bootloader.

So, if I get it right, I put the stock RUU again and without unlocking the bootloader (as I previously did), I will flash directly the twrp. Right?

Once unlocked, the bootloader remains unlocked forever or until you give Android tools command to relock.
Running the Sprint RUU will most likely fixxxx it...
And yes, after you have it running right, boot to download mode and flash the newer TWRP that someone here recommended.
Then root with SuperSU or Magisk v14 and above, or install a custom rom from great choices here.

No. Leave the bootloader unlocked. You don't need to relock it, and it should remain unlocked after the RUU has run.
You can't flash TWRP with a locked bootloader

No need to be sorry.
Don't bother flashing TWRP first. When you run the RUU it will install the stock recovery and TWRP will get overwritten.
Run the RUU, then install TWRP after.

I'll send you a PM to ask for some info to check if your device is indeed a Sprint one. With SuperCID enabled (and s-off obviously), it's hard to tell what has been done to you phone.
