Recovery is not booting - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got my first htc one exchanged and not when i try to go into recovery (CWM) after unlocking the bootloader it would just crash at the white htc screen with entering recovery in pink on top.
Tried erasing cache and reinstalling to TWRP but it doesn't work. The phone will just crash and reboot into the os.
EDIT:
Fixed it somehow, Don't even know what i did.

So you did a "fastboot erase cache" and then installed the new recovery? Have you disabled the fast boot option in the OS? I know there were issues with installing recoveries before with that set to on.

I don't know what I did, fastboot erase cache like 5 times before it finally worked.

It can take 4-5 reboots before the recovery is accessible.

what you probably did is when you boot into bootloader you think you where you supposed to be but when you try to erase cache or install recovery it does nothing. what you have toto is boot into bootloader then press power button to get into fastboot. if you see recovery listed in bootloader then you need to hit power. if in fastboot your on screen options should be----bootloader----reboot----reboot bootloader----power down

[Fixed] Can't get into recovery?

Using the boot menu, when I select "Recovery" CWM flashes briefly on the screen, then the phone instantly reboots. Tried TWRP also, and the same thing. Is there a way to fix this?
its done this before, but it would eventually work... right now I cant get it to "work"...
FIXED: fastboot erase cache

[Q] Can't boot into recovery or erase recovery (TRIED ERASING CACHE)

Hi I am trying to work through the process of rooting my HTC One.
I have some experience with android as I've rooted three different phones now, the One is the only one giving me trouble :/
So I got the bootloader unlocked via the HTC Dev method, and now I'm trying to get recovery to work. I've flashed CWM, CWMT, and TWRP, and no matter which I try I can't boot into recovery via "adb reboot recovery" or via the HBOOT menu. When I try the phone just goes through a regular reboot. I can't use ROM Manager to do it either naturally since I don't have root yet (need recovery to install SuperSU).
However ROM Manager does show I have CWM and TWRP installed (both? weird) so I tried to start over by doing "fastboot erase recovery" but it says
FAILED: (remote: not allowed)
I tried "fastboot erase cache" before and after flashing a recovery and nothing at all changes.
Any ideas? Could I have missed something really simple and stupid? I'm pulling all my hair out trying to figure this out.
I heard some people got it to work by flashing the recovery to the boot partition, but until I get assurance that isn't a terrible horrible idea (like it seems) I don't want to try that.
EDIT: yes, the "fast boot" option in the power menu is already disabled.
I had the same issue. Solved it by disabling the fast boot option within the OS. Under power options.
Worth a shot.

Thanks for the reply but that option is already disabled
I was facing the same problem, however, what I did was turn on fast boot under settings right after I flashed the recovery.
Then, I rebooted back into the bootloader and I now had ***TAMPERED*** at the top of my screen. I afterwards selected reboot into recovery and bam, I now had TWRP on my phone.

Just tried that, didn't work
Also why would you have TAMPERED at the top? Did you change anything else to get that like flash a different HBOOT or fastboot or something?
I'm about to throw this thing out the window -___-
SOLVED
Hallelujah, I got it!
I did nothing differently, but eventually it worked...very weird, but at least I got it! The final iteration to get it working was this:
1. Turn off fast boot option in power menu
2. Boot into bootloader via power menu, then power + vol down
3. go into fastboot
4. from a cmd window, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. fastboot erase cache
6. from the menu, boot into recovery
7. phone boots to the OS instead of recovery
8. boot back into the bootloader via power menu, power + vol down
9. TAMPERED shows up, boot into recovery and it works!
note that i never used adb reboot recovery or adb reboot bootloader, idk if that matters, but I did everything from the phone.
thanks for all your help!
For what it's worth, I use ROM Toolbox's Reboot to recovery option and it works. Though I can see where you'd need to boot to recovery from startup.

[CLOSED] Stuck in bootloop - Cant load a recovery

Hello,
I tried to flash Slim ROM on my TMo HTC One and I accidentally soft-bricked it.
First, I unlocked the bootloader, put the zip folder in storage and then went straight for flashing a ROM.
Since then, I am stuck in a bootloop even when I try to run recovery - I flashed TWRP.
Can anoyone help?

yes, this is pretty simple:
You can boot into your bootloader by pressing the power button for a long time and if the display turns off, press the volume down button and hope you jump into your bootloader.. try this out until you manage to get into your bootloader. If this doesn't work, you should hold your phone below a bright light so the sensor recognizes it.. then play around with your power button and volume buttons and you should be able to boot into your bootloader. Then connect your phone to the PC and use this fastbootcommand after you navigated to fastboot on your phone:
Code:
fastboot erase chache
Now you should be able to boot into your recovery..
If it helped, hit the thanksbutton or ask other questions by quoting my post so I get notified and I can answer
If you managed to enter the recovery, say it, I write further instructions... Because if I write it now and the steps above didn't work... I wrote it for no reason and yeah... just say it

thank you for your quick response, unfortunately, after erasing cache before and I still got stuck in bootloop (didnt work this time either).
Entering Recovery... appears on top of a screen and nothing happens for a long time before the phone reboots itself

I would simply reflash recovery (maybe a different one) to make sure it's not the file you have

ok.. in that case we have to do some other stuff..
Download the TWRP recovery, it's know to work better than CWM at it's current state, you can download the file for your HTC One here:
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 (credits to: http://teamw.in/ thanks for your awesome work!)
Then when you are in the fastboot mode, use this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "C:\pathToYourRecovery\recoveryname.img"
Then boot into recovery... and if this doesn't work too, try this command:
Code:
fastboot boot "C:\pathToYourRecovery\recoveryname.img"
If you were able to get into the recovery, or if you were not able, pls answer
!! :good: It worked and I got successfully booted the recovery, I think I was flashing a wrong version of twrp before

[Q] Dark screen after boot. Can't see home screen and app. Please help!!

I wanted to sell my nexus 6 so I decided to flash to stock rom. Everything seemed perfect until I realized I needed to wipe my data. I restarted in custom recovery and by mistake wiped all data. After that my phone will turn black/dark after booting into the home screen. I reinstalled the stock rom but same results. Even in safe mode. I know my phone is one because I can see the power menu after pressing the power button. Can anyone please help?

Recovery Refuses to Stick

Hoping I can get some help with the same issue.
I sent my 6P back in for a warranty repaid so I'm using this phone (XT1095) for now. I'd like to put LineageOS on it and root with Magisk BUT I'm having a ridiculous time getting TWRP to flash.
I certainly know how to flash images via fastboot and have done it for years but this is seriously pissing me off lol.
I got the code from Moto and unlocked the bootloader. I tried a simple "fastboot flash recovery _____.img", I've tried "fastboot boot _____.img".
At first, I was booting back into the system first but now I've tried it both ways. Regardless of what I do, after flashing the recovery, it boots into the system. The ONLY I can get this thing into recovery is if I boot into the system and just use "adb reboot recovery" but it's obviously the stock recovery because the phone keeps overwriting TWRP upon boot.
Just so we're clear:
1. Reboot into bootloader
2. Confirm bootloader unlocked
3. Fastboot flash recovery _____.img
4. Volume button to boot into recovery
Result = Boots into system
1. Reboot into bootloader
2. Confirm bootloader unlocked
3. Fastboot flash recovery _____.img
4. Fastboot reboot bootloader
5. Bootloader reboots
6. Volume button to boot into recovery
Result = Boots into system
1. Fastboot boot _____.img
Result = Boots into system
If it helps at all, upon flashing recovery I get this message 100% of the time "mismatched partition size", similar to the case on this thread: https://goo.gl/6Nm9cu
By dumb luck I found where someone used the "fastboot boot ____.img" with a pretty old version and it worked just fine. I'll root and such with that and upgrade the recovery later.

For clarification of step 4. I think recovery is the second or third option in bootloader. You are hitting volume down twice and then volume up correct
Volume up selects.
The mismatched partition size doesn't matter everyone gets that error.

You know what, I am so used to newer devices like N6 and 6P that I completely overlooked that the Volume Up button was the selector instead of the power button. It was rebooting into the system EVERY TIME because I was hitting the power button. Recovery installed successfully and running LineageOS with Magisk with Android Pay and Direct TV Now working just fine.
Thanks for your help and I'll be sure to actually READ from now on :laugh::laugh:
