Hi -
Thanks for any help in advance. I'm a bit of a rookie round here, I've rooted and flashed my past 3 HTC phones but taken the easy route every time.
But today, I've used ADB commands to flash the revone binary and unlock and get s-off on my HTC one m7. It took me several tries, but it eventually worked (or at least said successful). So my HBOOT 1.44 says UNLOCKED & S-OFF.
So onto the next step. fastboot flash recovery recoverytwrp.img
...
Another success!
So, I reboot into bootloader and prompt recovery boot like I'm about to get HAM on twrp and flash some superuser files. It shows me a developer screen full of red print saying that it's booting into recovery, and then after a while, it just rebooted back into system.
It does this every time. I reflashed the image, I flashed the stock image, I tried the hansoon tool. each time I can't actually get into the recovery.
So this is where I'm stuck. Why can't I get anywhere with this?
EDIT & ANSWER;

This.
Just do evrything again until you finish installing custom recoveries. Before rebooting, erase the cache with "fastboot erase cache"

Gave that all a shot all over again. Still can't boot into recovery
Is fast boot off?
Use the original cable your One came with, go into bootloader power/vol - then open a cmd window
Now connect the One with your computer, don't use a USB 3.0 connection, and a different one then before.
In bootloader choose fastboot, that should change to fastboot USB
In cmd window point to your fastboot directory where you also copied the recovery to, I would try CWM touch for now.
Type cd c:\fastboot (or what your toolfolder is called)
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
That installs the recovery, you can select it in bootloader abd boot into it.

Try, remaining unlocked, go back to s-on (you can always take s-off again) and check your recovery (enter and flashing) under s-on.

Is that something I can do with the revone binary? To be honest, I have no idea how to turn security back on. I can relock it and that may be about it.
I stumbled upon another thread, shares a common theme as my issue, but with a different twist. Using a superboot.img as a rooting method instead of flashing it via recovery. It somewhere says that the boot.img needs to be flashed as well, however I can't find a decent boot.img to flash. The superboot tool seems like unproven territory right now.
Here's the other thread, I've leafed through it and found no determinable answer for my particular issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39852757#post39852757
Do not apply revone to return s-on!
Use fastboot by "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3".
Be convinced that bootloader is unlocked before return to s-on.
Regarding your issue: I suspect that a certain code in HBOOT tries to install TAMPERED flag when sees custom recovery, but isn't able to do it correctly because s-off (bypassing security) and a certain mistake or exception conducts to reset phone.

Where do you think I go from here?
I've just skimmed through the posts and didn't see this mentioned
If you are still able to boot into the system, download either GooManager (for TWRP) or RomManager (for CWM) and use either of those apps to install recovery. Once done, you can use the app to boot into recovery instead of the fancy ADB commands or button presses.

So both that method through ADB shell and GooManager require root. Every rooting method requires recovery, so I don't have perm root yet.
You quoted me, but answered not to me.
Read a post #26 from my link above
Possible Solution
Hello I have the same problem and the solution was:
1. Settings - Energy- Fastboot uncheked
2. Flash Recovery usin one all-in-one-kit
3. Erase Cache 3 times
4. Unplug to PC, and load into system normal
5. Turn off phone - via stock menu NOT FORCE TO OFF pressing the off button
6. Wait 2 minutes, and boot into HBOOT - Power + Volume(-) pressing
7. Choose recovery
Ready.. May these work for you! Let me know

I have searched the forums, and I can not find the answer to my specific situation. Please forgive me if it is there somewhere. The story…….
- last working ROM was VIVO ICS official, RUU installed. (RUU_VIVO_ICS_35_S_HTC_WWE_4.10.405.1_Radio_20.74.30.0833U_3831.18.00.11_M_release_266013_signed.exe). HBOOT was changed to 2.02 S-ON, bootloader locked. I unlocked via HTCdev. Before this I had IceColdSandwich 8.1.1, ENG Hboot S-OFF. I had originally used the GB downgrade ROM to S-OFF, and restored IceCold backup after this.
- I wanted to be S-OFF again, and so tried installing this zip using CWM Recovery, following the advice of tpbklake:
vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip Version 1.1
(from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756500&page=1)
- now boot loop. I tried reinstalling other ROMs which I have successfully installed in the past (GB downgrade, stock ICS), and also restore various backups, but all result in boot loop (stuck on white HTC screen). Each time I would use CWM Recovery to clear dalvik, cache etc.
- I have now followed 'fix' instructions in that same thread, ie. :
1. Download the file lib.zip from here: http://bit.ly/PwK4BH
2. Unzip the lib.img and place it on your PC where you have fastboot.exe installed.
3. Boot into FASTBOOT USB mode and then enter the following command:
fastboot flash lib lib.img
4. Download the file format_lib_update.zip from here: http://bit.ly/RIpEUL
5. Copy it to your SD card.
6. Boot into recovery and then install format_lib_update.zip
7. While in recovery format the SYSTEM partition.
8. Then reinstall vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip
But at step 3 I get the following:

OK, so what is the state of your HBOOT? Are you still HBOOT 2.02.0002 UNLOCKED?
When you are using the an unlocked HTC HBOOT and you flash a custom ROM in CWM, you then manually have to extract the boot.img file from that ROM's zip file and flash it manually in FASTBOOT USB mode. If you don't do that, you will get a boot loop.
What you need to do if you can still get into CWM and the bootloader is still UNLOCKED is reflash that ROM again and then flash the boot.img file in FASTBOOT mode and you should be ok.

Well then you can always relock the bootloader and then run the 4.10.405.1 RUU like you did originally. Then you can unlock the bootloader since you already have the unlock_code.bin file.

Once you get back to that point, unlock the bootloader, install ClockworkMod and then flash su-3.0.7-efghi.zip to root the official ROM. Then you should be able to rerun the downgrade process to get back to S-OFF.

Thanks very much. The stock ICS RUU has now installed successfully. I guess when I originally tried to reinstall it, I had left out the 'RELOCK' step, which is why it failed.
So now I am back to the start (stock ICS + HBOOT 2.02 S-ON), and want to get S-OFF and install your ROM zip. ,What I originally intended to do to get S-OFF was:
1) Unlock the bootloader, flash CWM Recovery, flash SU
2) Run downgrade GB RUU
3) S-off with Revolutionary
4) Install Blackrose HBOOT
5) Install your vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip
But step 2) failed with an unknown error. (I then tried to install your zip, and the rest is the sad history.....).
So what caused step 2 to fail? Did I need to relock the bootloader first?
Many thanks for your help, tpbklake

One more thing, I would try flashing another ROM, i came from Niks Sense 4a rom, and the script worked with no issues.
Remember you will need to manually flash the boot.img of the rom as you are S-ON.

Open a command window and then type in the command:

If you get a # prompt then your ROM is rooted correctly and the script should run. If it doesn't then the ROM isn't properly rooted and the script will fail.
Hi guys,
I need your help, I have a Nexus One, with Cyanogenmod 7 and Clockwork recovery and decided to give ICS a try so I have been trying to install TexasIce and can't install the recovery.
First I installed Blackrose using the manual method, because the blackrose.exe will stop at "waiting for device".

fastboot boot go35.lol (checked and it is the right .lol for my previous HBOOT 0.35.0017)
then, at the big frozen X:

and the phone reboots to hboot and I can see the

MICROP-0b15
TOUCH.....
RADIO-5.12-00-00
Then choose Fastboot and confirm with the trackball, plug the USB cable and it shows FASTBOOT USB, and "fastboot devices" finds the phone.
The problem comes then when I try
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-passion.img
It shows:

And the phone is frozen, I have to remove the cable and battery.
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-passion.img also fails, and trying with RA recovery fails too.
¿What can I do?
If it helps, I have only been able to flash the new blackrose for jellybean found here.

The problem comes then when I try
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-passion.img
It shows:
sending 'recovery' (3058 KB).
FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 0.017s
And the phone is frozen, I have to remove the cable and battery.
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-passion.img also fails, and trying with RA recovery fails too.
¿What can I do?

When you try to change partition layout between HBOOTs, you need to format (a.k.a erase) all partitions except SD card before flashing a new recovery or custom ROM. Try this:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
Then flash new recovery then flash the custom ROM. And, BTW, don't use CWM because it could corrupt your SD card. Use either Amon_RA or 4EXT recovery.
Oh sorry I forgot to reply again!!
I finally managed to fix it. Somehow, the recovery and system got corrupted and won't boot. I could only boot to hboot or fastboot, and trying to flash anything would result on locking the phone. I could fix it by getting standard google image and putting it as PASSIMG.zip on the root of the SD so hboot restored the phone except blackrose hboot. Then the phone booted again and I could flash a recovery normally from fastboot
I'm trying to install TWRP recovery via CMD but I'm having problems. As of now, I've done the following:
Downloaded TWRP 2.5.0.0
Placed the file in the same folder used to unlock the phone that also contains fastboot
With the phone connected, i run the following command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7.img
In the prompt window, I received the following results "< waiting for device >" but i don't see anything progress thereafter on the phone or prompt window
I tried to reboot into recovery and now receive a red exclamation point within a triangle that's over a phone. See attached photo.
Thereafter, I have to force restart
Does anyone have any advice?
UPDATE
I was finally able to write the recovery on the phone. However, now when I try to boot into recovery, it fails to load recovery and boots as a normal restart.
UPDATE
I tried to reflash TWRP again. Following the reflash, I also deleted the cache using the following command
Code:
fastboot erase cache
I then reboot the bootloader using
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
This time around, after making an attempt to boot into recovery, I would get the message "Entering Recovery...". However, after a few seconds, the phone would turn off.
Thereafter, I tried to flash the OEM recovery using the steps above and I'm still have the same problem. Is my recovery partition corrupt?
I read that it helps to erase the recovery partition prior to flashing over an existing recovery. I tired the command
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
But I receive the following results
Code:
c:\Android>fastboot erase recovery
erasing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.001s
If erasing the recovery partition is good practice, how do I go about doing it?
I'm having the same problem.
I can successfully flash the TWRP 2.5.0.0 recovery ROM, but when I try to load into the recovery to flash a custom ROM, I see a flash of purple text on white background, then the screen goes black and boots normally.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ok... I had some issues when installing recovery so this is what I did...
Be advised that next steps are highly risky and that it might have worked for me but I take no responsibility if you break your device
After following almost all the instructions, I read that someone flashed the recovery to the boot partition. So I did that.
fastboot flash boot recovery.img
Now, after this, the device went to a constant bootloop and suddenly the recovery appeared.
Also, I erased the cache from fastboot with next command:
fastboot erase cache
I'm planning to post the procedure I've followed but I don't have much time lately.
Will try to do it as soon as possible.
Best regards.

You sir are my hero. Thank you!
I rebooted and went into Fastboot. Ran "fastboot erase cache". Then re-flashed the recovery image. Then ran the command "fastboot erase cache" again. Then restarted the bootloader, then went into the recovery and it worked.

Do you have the Sprint version? I have Sprint and I was running into the same issue. After searching everywhere for this issue, I came across this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40828046&postcount=240
Here's the link to the file you need: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7wls
I flashed this recovery img and it finally worked after all the other ones failed in the same way you described.
Hope it works for you!
Hello xda community, I'd like to start with saying all the work done on this forum for open-source, freeware, and general android tweaks is awesome! Thank you.
So awesome in fact that I got a little bit ahead of myself with my new "Sprint HTC One". I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2244060 to Unlock the bootloader, and root my phone. I then went a step further and wanted to flash a custom Rom. I followed this video, but strayed a little bit (whoops!). I went into twrp recovery, and flashed the "Beanstalk" super custom 4.3 (9/24/2013), along with smw6180_superwipe, and 4.3 gapps.
This actually was working for about 4 days, but now it won't connect to the mobile network even when toggling on and off airplane mode (A temp fix for the ROM). I went ahead and looked for solutions, namely to just get back to stock to see if the problem is bigger than just custom ROM. I relocked my bootloader, following http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WWNZpaQBh8&list=PLE395F615E026133D&index=11 Thus running into my current issue of Error 140 when trying to flash the RUU.
I'm asking anyone that could help, to offer suggestions on getting my phone back to stock. I would also like a couple suggestions for more stable ROM's (again, i knew what i getting into; ie disclaimers) that offer cool customization!
did you put the stock recovery back on before you locked the bootloader? Also are you super cid?

No i don't believe so, Well now its not even going into twrp recovery. It displays tampered relocked security warning, s-on, hboot 1.44.0000 and This is the only screen i have for fastboot and the bootloader
I've seen this issue before let me take a quick look I think your ok

twrp has to be renamed to recovery.zip try fastboot flash then type flash recovery then the name of the zip which is recovery.zip then fastboot reboot
I did that am getting error:cannot load recovery.
Also tried fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7wls.img
that resulted in this

try hassoons all in one toolbox
I got twrp back by unlocking my phone again. Should i proceed with the 3.04.651.2 firmwre? beanstalk is now hanging on splash screen.
The phone isn't being recognized on my computer it seems, it shows as m7wls under device manager, when in twrp 2.6.3. When in bootloader it shows as One device, but neither is accessible.
Also tried flashing the s-off firmware, but got 'error cannot load firmware.zip'
Any more help would be appreciated, almost thinking of taking it back to sprint, i have a protection plan. But i would like to avoid that, im currently going to buy an otg-usb cable as well.
Hi Everyone,
Don't know what I did wrong but at the moment i stucked with a bootloop. I was trying to flash a 4.4 Rom on a Cyanogenmod 4.2.2
Now I can enter in bootloader but not into the recovery. When I try to boot into recovery it simply tries to boot the phone.
Bootloader i unlocked (it says tampered) but S-ON.
Tried to fastboot the recovery of clockworkmod but still can't enter in it.
How I can restore the phone to its original factory image?
Thnaks
It's seems you are not the only one.
Enter bootloader and choose fastboot.
Then run a command prompt in your PC, cd to the fastboot folder and write fastboot flash recovery filename.img
I suggest you download and flash twrp 2.6.3.0
Then check if the recovery has been installed successfully.If yes, go into recovery and type in the command prompt in your PC the following:
Adb push filename.Rom /data/media/0
Filename.zip stands for the Rom you wanna flash. After its done you can flash that file with twrp

I think the cache just needs wiping with the command:

thanks guys,
as i said i already tried to flash the recovery with the fastboot flash command.
I tried CMW and TWRP... but still can't enter into the recovery.
I have to try the erase cache command....

Did you find a solution? I am in the same boat and it is actually quite annoying.

Sure! H-boot 1.54, s -On, I have tried both locked and unlocked (via fasboot oem lock and unlock). I originally tried CWM touch, then gave TWRP a try. No luck booting to either. I get success on the cmd with loading, but cannot get it into recovery. I select recovery from the fastboot menu and the phone vibrates, then a second later "Google" appears.
Version of recovery:
CWM 6.0.3.1 and and 6.0.4.3
TWRP: 2.6.6.3 m7

what is "******** Did you mean to fastboot format this partition?" how come I never get that
is your adb sdk newer or older than mine? I'm still using:
Code:
C:\ADB2>adb
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.29
Question, are you on GPE hboot (the black one) or normal (the white one)?

1- recommend updating adb sdk, mine isnt even the latest, i think latest is something like 1.0.3xx
2- don't know if this will work in GPE hboot, but try "fastboot boot <recovery>.img", it used to work on 1.44, but stopped on 1.54+, maybe on GPE it still works.

I think his recovery partition might be corrupt.. @mike1986. wrote an article about corrupt data partitions(http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.ch/2013/10/fix-data-htc-one.html) I think it was you who sent me that link.. well.. do you know if it is possible to use some of this commands? But we'd have to get into a state where we can use adb..
