Recovery died somehow after flashing official donut 1.6

Hi guys. I don't really know what happened here. I've flashed a few different versions of Cyanogen's builds onto my MT3G without any problems. Today I flashed the official 1.6 dev build of Donut before doing Cyanogen's 4.2.3.1 flash. Well, the 1.6 seemed to go smoothly, but after the reboot, the recovery would no longer load. It's now giving me a picture of the phone with an exclamation point when I try to load the recovery.
How can I fix this? Anyone? Please?

If you boot the 1.6 image it will install the HTC stock recovery. Booting back to recovery will show the /!\[] symbol. THIS IS NOT LOSING ROOT. You can still flash update.zip files from this recovery. Also, you can still flash a nicer (CM-1.4) recovery with fastboot, or flash_image inside the CM install once you get it installed.
thats what sounds like happen to me

How do I do anything though? I don't have the ability to do anything, it just sits there on that screen.
<edit> Also, I can't re-flash the recovery. I've tried, but it gives me the error:
Flash FAILED: The command could not be run
After figuring out how to install ADB and trying to fix it via that, it appears that I have somehow lost root. It's giving me Permission Denied or remote device not allow when I try to flash or use fastboot.

Got it fixed. Took me forever, but I made a goldcard and flashed with the stock ROM. Now I'm good to go again after installing CM recovery 1.4.

[Q] Recovery zip signature verification failing

I recently exchanged my Nexus One for another guy's N-1 which works on ATT 3G. I had done a nandroid backup of my phone, and used that same image to recover the "new" phone to exactly how it was before the switch. It failed first, but after I moved my BCDS folder to the new HTPXXX folder, it went through.
However, now when I try to flash a zip from recovery (Amon-RA 2.2.1), I always get the "Signature verification failed" error. I tried flashing newer radio, after verifying the MD5SUM. I tried flashing the 0.35.017 HBoot. Both of them failed. I am wondering if it's because of the mismatched nandroid recovery I did.
Any help would be greatly appreciated -- thanks!
Edit: Needless to say, after disabling signature verification, everything flashes correctly.

I doubt that it would be the ROM cause it shouldn't mater while your in recovery. So I would try reflashing your recovery through ROM manager, terminal or fastboot if your bootloader is unlocked.

Thank you, nice idea -- I never thought about reflashing the recovery. I'll try this tonight! Thanks.

Flash stock image

Similar problem in another thread I just posted to. I am having similar problems.
If after flashing stock then flash custom recovery to be able to go into recovery ?

Hello, I need to know what version of firmware you were, I think, will have to increase the bootloader to install again and there TWRP, flash any ROM

Make sure you're using TWRP 2.8.6
Do all your wipes, reboot again into recovery, go to mount and make sure system isn't checked, go to install and try to flash again.

Trying to get back to stock rom

Hello,
Tried rooting my phone with no prior experience. Worked, but eventually I got to where the phone wouldn't boot past splash screen (logo came up, then screen went black while backlight is on and didn't respond to stimuli until battery was removed). Possibly resulted from a build.prop file problem. Did get into boot though, so I fixed that problem by installing a cyanogen rom from a zip file using twrp recovery. I didn't want a custom mod though since I'm used to the look and feel of the 4.0.3 ICS I had, and the cyanogen doesn't seem to have google play so I can't even download anything (original purpose of rooting was to get incompatible apps by spoofing via build.prop file). Currently trying to get back to stock. Unfortunately I didn't make a nandroid backup of the system before the problem occurred, hence I have no backup to flash.
What I tried:
1. Use the official HTC 4.0.3 RUU .exe to upload to the phone. Unfortunately HTC Sync doesn't see this phone, even though I have the correct drivers installed.
2. Attempted to use twrp recovery to install the rom.zip extracted from the RUU directly, the same way I successfully installed the cyanogenmod rom. Failed, claiming it's unable to open zip. The .zip file was checked for integrity and returned by an archiver app.
3. Tried to use these commands from the cmd with phone connected to install the .zip from fastboot:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRuu
fastboot flash zip rom.zip (rom.zip being the functional file of the stock rom)
Failed, saying it's not allowed. Tried it with both locked and unlocked bootloader, no difference.
4. Unzipped the file and tried to flash the system.img file directly, but that failed with a "data length is too large" error.
5. My recovery being twrp 2.1.1, tried looking for altenatives. Can't find any links to download the WCX recovery, but I found several for newer twrp versions, including 2.3.1.0 and 2.6.3.0 which I tried downloading flashing. After flashing the phone got stuck at the cyanogenmod loading logo and wouldn't boot further, and the recovery itself didn't work, just showed the HTC splash, turned black, then booted again normally, getting stuck at the cyanogen logo. Same thing for the 2.6.3.0 version, so I reflashed the original 2.1.1, at which point I can get into recovery but the phone is still stuck at the cyanogenmod during normal boot. At this point I installed the original cyanogenmod .zip from recovery and now at least the phone boots up normally. Still need to get stock back somehow.
Out of ideas and exhausted from this. Any help would be appreciated. Perhaps anyone has a working stock 4.0.3 rom for the Vivid, nandroid backup, etc., or any other ideas. Thanks for reading.

Oh crap...
OK... First... Stock rom can be found in development... Most of the roms there are stock... Read the OP... It'll tell you...
Second... You should use TWRP 2.5.3.0 or something like that I forget...
Third... When you tried the ruu... Did you relock your bootloader...
Side note... Could you get your phone to show up with 'fastboot devices'

CM13(20151128) Broken recovery, Won't flash.

I use TWRP 2.8.7.1(which was flashed to the phone) and now after flashing this nightly version, the recovery gets stuck on the TWRP screen and flashes every 60 seconds, but never lets me use it.
I've searched through all the forums, but can't find anyone else with this problem. I just want to flash CM12.1 Snapshot, but I can't without the recovery working.
Everytime I flash the same recovery(TWRP2.8.7.1), the bootloader gives me the error "Mismatched partition size". I've tried "Fastboot boot TWRP2.8.7.1.img, but it sits stuck on the loading TWRP screen. I've cleared the cache, but still nothing.
The only recovery that I can get to work is CWM by booting the .img from the bootloader, but that still does nothing because none of the directories will mount, so I cant flash from the recovery.
I'm waiting on motorola to send me the stock files and just reflash stock and start from scratch, but I really want to save my data.
Does anybody have any clue as to what I'm doing wrong before I reset to stock?

If this recovery doesn't work, you may have to reflash the full stock rom

Nope.. didn't work. I had the 5.0 files from motorola that I flashed, and I'll update from there.
I really wish motorola would leave those files open to download instead of having to wait... sucks not having a phone, but I survived.

i have the same issue, any idea how to fix it ?
