Hello, I just unlocked my bootloader on my Sprint HTC One M9. I then followed the directions for downloading the latest TWRP from the TWRP website without root (adb fastboot commands). Now when I boot to my recovery I can't swipe the screen to overwrite the original recovery and I'm stuck on the TWRP screen until it turns off. This is the second phone I've encountered this problem with. Any idea why TWRP isn't taking any touch input?
I rebooted the phone using "adb reboot" shut it off and waited till the next day. On the next day, I booted into recovery from the bootloader menu again expecting to see a stock recovery and wanting to try again, but to my surprise it booted into twrp again (didn't get overwritten?!) and the touch screen worked this time around. I have no idea what happened, but it's working for now.

My One X was working perfectly on Leedroid 5.1. I downloaded 6.2, put it on the SD card, held the power button and went to reboot into recovery, but it got stuck on the HTC ONE boot screen and wouldn't go any further. I thought it was a little odd but ignored it. Then I realised I needed to flash the boot.img anyway, so I turned the phone off then booted into bootloader, fastboot, flashed the boot.img. At the end of the process the phone was sent to recovery again, but again, the same thing happened, it wouldn't go past that screen.
I figured my recovery was corrupted, so I went back into bootloader and flashed CWM touch through fastboot.
Rebooted into recovery again, exact same problem. What gives?
Furthermore, every time I turn the phone off from that screen, it turns itself back on. I finally rectified that by turning it off, then holding vol- and powering down from bootloader.
What can I do?
EDIT: RESOLVED
fastboot erase cache fixed the whole thing!
I was on stock F240L20D, 4.4.2 Kitkat, rooted, PhilZ Touch 6 installed. I've tried some ROMs before but reverted back to this one. So, basically, I've been to the recovery several times, but only used the ADB method to access it, and I've made several backups too.
However, one thing that happened today has frustrated me completely. Long story short, I thought about making a backup again, although this time, I used the power keys to get to the recovery instead of the ADB method, backup completes successfully, nothing wrong just yet, but just as I tap on 'Reboot System Now', it boots back in to recovery.
I've tried everything, tried using all the ADB commands, even going through all the options in the recovery, but it always seems to boot back in to the recovery. Really can't figure out what's happening. Any help would be extremely appreciated.
UPDATE: So I've flashed a KDZ, the Lollipop one using the LG Flash Tool. It's taking a bit too long to start, currently stuck at the U+ Lte logo. I hope it gets fixed.
UPDATE 2: It says Android is upgrading, YES YES!!!!! This is so exciting, but I'm still not convinced.
With most of cwm version after 6.4.7, any time you use power + volume up to access the recovery, you will get the boot loop. Go here and down load the zip file from the first post. Flash the zip and you should be go to go.

Hi XDA-Fellows
1) thanks for all the help of this community so far
2) my problem: I had my HTC One M8 rooted, installed TWRP (I think in the end I had 2.7.8.0 as last version) and Cyanogenmod with a nightly build of around 18. March 2016 installed! THEN the big mistake happened. In advanced developers menu of cyanogenmod I activated the option that was called something like "on update of system also replace recovery software". That obviously was stupid.
Upon rebooting normally TWRP launched and installed the latest nightly. This time I see the white screen with HTC logo on it, red text in bottom, top part of the screen shows "ENTERING RECOVERY", 3 seconds later I see a black screen and every like 2 or 3 seconds it looks like the screen gets powered, it flashes darkgrey shortly (again, looks like it gets powered but instantly shuts off immediately).
This just can be stopped by pressing either P+U or P+D for like 10 seconds. Then again, white screen with HTC logo and ENTERING RECOVERY and the screen switch on/off-loop.
Is my device bricked? What can I do now?
Any help is appreciated.
Hi,
Can you enter to your bootloader ? So maybe you can just reflash it to see if it's going to work..

Yes I can enter bootloader. How should I go on from here on?
Well you just need to download the new TWRP from their web site https://dl.twrp.me/m8/ after that you put your device into bootloader and you plug your phone into your computer and download a toolkit from xda like htc one m8 toolkit and you follow the instructions..

Thanks. I will give it a try and give feedback.
It worked. I could enter bootloader, switched to FASTBOOT mode, installed ADB Drivers for windows and replaced recovery with latest TWRP! THanks a lot for your help! I thought I could throw away my M8
Well. It worked not completely. I was able to reboot my phone into the Cyanogenmod. But upon entering recovery mode (which I expected now to be TWRP) I get the same result again ... Screen off/on within seconds, repeating endlessly
I think you need to reflash the boot.img and the ROM completely. Because i don't know why do you have a black screen.
I activated root access for apps and tried ROM Manager first! It failed, then I used flashify which worked. Automatically downloaded latest TWRP (3.0.0.1) and flashed it, reboot into recovery. Everything works like a charm again! Thanks again for your help!
EDIT: I FIXED IT. I had to go back to an older version of TWRP[2.7xx] for it to work on my older firmware.
HTC One M8 AT&T running 4.4.2, unable to update because I haven't been on AT&T for quite a long time.
Yesterday I unlocked the bootloader on my M8 for the first time and attempted to install TWRP[EDIT: ver 3.0.2] so that I could root my phone. I have the proper SDK and ADB drivers installed, fastboot is working just fine. I used the following commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
From there I have tried both rebooting into fastboot[which is what the TWRP website says to do] and also going back into bootloader and booting into recovery without restarting the phone. Neither option has worked. When booting straight into recovery after flashing the recovery, my phone just says "loading recovery" in pink letters with the HTC logo on the screen and stays like that. HOWEVER, I've somehow managed to get screenshots while force restarting my phone during that, and it shows the right TWRP screen, I just can't see it. Any advice at all would be appreciated. I did search through other forum posts but I could not find my problem of the screen I cannot see.
I just upgraded my rooted and bootloader unlocked Robin to Nougat last night by installing the official upgrade files from the Razer Community forum. I've tried installing TWRP several times through fastboot, and each time I can get the phone into recovery, but the phone will never boot into the system. It hangs on the black "Nextbit by Robin" screen, and never goes past it. If I turn off the phone by holding down the power and volume down buttons, and then turn it back on, it still won't get past that screen. I can always get into TWRP, though, but no matter what I do, the phone won't boot. I've been using TWRP 3.1.0. Is there a different version that's required for Nougat?

My guess is you messed up the boot.img, or worse you corrupted some partition. If it's the boot.img, go get the latest factory image, unzip it, and move the file 'boot.Img' onto where your adb and fastboot files are located. Then go into fastboot on your Robin, and run this command on your PC:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
If you corrupted something, you basically need to go into fastboot and use the flash-all.bat in the already unzipped Robin_nougat_88 folder to bring your phone back bone stock.
Hope that helped
Had this issue with my phone at first, but eventually just fixed it anyway by flashing the decrypted boot.img.
I ended up fixing it the same way you did. No matter how many times I took it back to stock by flashing the files in the Robin_nougat_88 folder and then flashing TWRP, no matter which version of TWRP I used, it would never boot. I finally flashed TWRP, then booted back into recovery, wiped the phone, loaded and flashed the decrypted boot image and SuperSU, and then the phone booted fine. I should have just done that in the first place since it was always my intention to unencrpyt it and rooted it again, anyway.
