Have completed rumrunner root for htc one.
Have installed twrp through adb using command prompt.
Then when trying to reboot system it boots up in recovery.
Need help to find out how to get back on my phone.
Have found similar sites with information but not clear enough for me to understand
I'm able to access twrp so i would assume it's a mount of the sd card but i am not seeing that option anywhere
twrp v 2.6.3.0
I know it's late guys thanks for your help!
if you ever get this issue please understand that there are websites out there that are making you use "fastboot flash boot blah.img" which is making you flash recovery on top of your boot img. please understand that you have overwritten something that is necessary for your phone to work so just open a rom you are preparing to flash and unzip. Copy the boot.img from the unzipped folder and move it to your fastboot folder where your going to open command prompt.
after you open command prompt in the same folder as your adb/fastboot/ and such using shift right click
you then type in the command prompt "fastboot flash boot boot.img" that should flash the boot image back and you should be able to turn on your phone.... wow that took a lot of stress but figured it out in the end. JUST HAD TO GET A GRIP! now happy flashing thanks!

Either the tutorial was completely written wrong, or you read them wrong. There's no way of telling which happened, but the point is to be very careful with fastboot.
The command "fastboot flash boot file.img" doesn't flash recovery in your boot partition unless you mis-labeled your .img file and flashed the wrong file in the wrong place.
Most people modding their phones are going to be using fasboot to flash to boot, recovery, system, or bootloader. It's important to understand all of the places that fastboot can flash before you start pushing in .img files. Understanding fastboot commands can also help you possibly identify if someone made a typo in their guides.
Want to put in recovery? "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Want to put in a new kernel? "fastboot flash boot boot.img", and so on. Ensure that you've got files that are properly named and you won't ever have to worry about flashing the wrong thing in the wrong place.

Jjust understand what you're flashing, you can't 100% trust a tutorial..
If you do the command, fastboot flash boot boot.img, you BEST DAMN be sure that is a kernel/boot.img you are flashing and make sure your working is right, if you fastboot flash a boot.img to say recovery.img, you are screwed.
make sure the file is right my MD5, also make sure the tutorial is good, messing with ANYTHING in fastboot is dangerous.
Hey guys, I have been working on this for a while an I think I finally have the answer as to keep stock AS990 and have a custom recovery.
Please note I will not be responsible for bricked devices. If you don't understand something do some research before you start.
Lets get started.
To get roms to install, I had to use the whole guide found here then install a custom rom, create a TWRP backup, take the backup off the internal sd card then once I finished the steps below I put the backup back onto my internal sdcard and used TWRP. Now some of you may be asking "Why the heck did he do that for?". Well when I went to install a ROM, I could not mount the system partition so therefore I used this work around because I had made a backup before I found out the method below. If anyone has a fix for this please be sure to comment.
Download and extract the files here
First off you will need to be on Stock AS990 and rooted. If you have not done this please follow the guide located here to do that.
If you are on a rom that cannot be rooted, follow this guide and use the files found in the restore bullet point to downgrade then root. Backing up your build.prop should not be necessary in this case since you are doing a downgrade.
After you have done this, root and use flashify to install ls990 TWRP.
Reboot your device into recovery.
If all goes well, You should now be stuck in fastboot mode.
Flash the following files found in the folder you downloaded earlier.
Open the folder you extracted the files to earlier, hold shift, right click in a section of the folder where no files are then select "open command window here".
Type the following commands into the CMD window.
fastboot flash aboot aboot.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.bin
fastboot flash dbi dbi.bin
fastboot flash factory factory.bin
fastboot flash misc misc.bin
fastboot flash modem modem.bin
fastboot flash persist persist.bin
fastboot flash PrimaryGPT PrimaryGPT.bin
fastboot flash recovery recovery.bin
fastboot flash rct rct.bin
fastboot flash rpm rpm.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.bin
fastboot flash tz tz.bin
Pull the battery and turn back on and the rom should now boot back into your stock system.
Again use flashify to install ls990 TWRP.
Make a recovery of your current rom.
Flash the rom you backed up.
For me I have figured out how to get mms, data texting and calling on a custom rom with my carrier (Carolina West Wireless).
I installed Google Hangouts then used shortcut master lite to find the apn settings in hangouts which are not the same as using other methods.
If I left out anything please let me know thanks.
Well that's all for now.
Not sure who all to give credit to but this is a compilation of my work as well as all the guys who made the post above.
You may be able to use this method to root as well but have not tired that yet.
Ok so from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/how-to-upgrade-cn-version-to-ww-t3101556
I saw this : fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img - droidboot.img is fastboot, and if you somehow will flash corrupted image, you won't be able to boot to fastboot anymore. Thanks to sorg
Is there ANY way to fix that ? Mine is broken and I CAN NOT : root/update recovery/enter bootloader
Basically i am STUCK on the firmware I have and CAN NOT do anything on this phone other than factory reset it but thats just about it.
Search for flash_image. I used it to flash recovery from running system. I suppose it can be used to flash fastboot too.

The phone HAS RECOVERY does NOT HAVE BOOTLOADER
Read entire message. I wrote that this tool probably can be used to flash fastboot too.
You can also try "dd" command from busybox. Check sticky section in Zenfone General forum how to use it.

You shouldn't mess with stuff you don't understand
If you have recovery, can you get to recovery menu?
Droid on back with error underneath and where you have to hold power then up volume to get to recovery menu.
Ok, here is link to flash_image tool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902493
I used it to flash recovery on HTC Sensation, but it should work with fastboot on Zenfone too. The command should be "flash_image fastboot /path/to/droidboot.img"
I'm not sure if it will work, but you already have messed up fastboot so this shouldn't make it worse
The second option is "dd if=/path/to/droidboot.img of=/dev/block/by-name/fastboot" or "dd if=/path/to/droidboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3" as fastboot is the third partition. You can execute this even in terminal emulator on phone. Of course I haven't check it, but it's listed in general section to flash recovery (fastboot is just another partition, so it should work too).
About going to recovery maybe you can type " reboot recovery" in terminal emulator or from pc "adb reboot recovery". I'm not sure if it uses fastboot to boot into recovery but it's worth trying.

Hi.
I am on Multirom twrp recovery right now.
However i am not able to flash latest twrp recovery. When I flash it via fastboot, it directly goes to bootloader mode after successful flash message ,but cant enter recovery mode even when tried. when i try to flash other recovery like multirom one, it flashes correctly.
Please help!

Interesting. Does "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0-flo.img" work?
A sure way to fix it is to reflash the factory image and then TWRP.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
But if you wish to investigate it, please post the output of...
fastboot getvar all
fastboot oem gpt-info
and 'install' the following zip in twrp, find 'logs.tgz' in the root of internal storage and post it here.

The boot.img was missing, sorry.
Download Boot.img
For a correct PixelExperience flash, you must flash vendor_boot.img and boot.img, the recommended firmware is Miui 13.0.5 SKOEUXM
