[Q] Cannot boot custom recovery - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed a custom recovery (TWRP) on my HTC One after unlocking the bootloader. When I try to launch it, it goes the the white "loading recovery" screen for 10 seconds before the screen goes black. I tried "fastboot erase cache" to no effect.
I tried reinstalling TWRP installing CWM as well, which didn't fix things. What should I do next?
Sorry for the noob question, but I can't seem to find a resource for this.

I am not sure, but did you try redownloading the recovery and flashing it again... might be a bad download before...

Re-Download the rom, flash this and do an erase cache.
After try to boot

I tried redownloading the rom, which didn't work . Thanks for the help though. Any other ideas?

What ROM was it? Did you try to flash the boot.img instead of the ROM.zip? I didn't really understand your original post.
If you flash the Zip it should go through the whole Aroma installer, etc...

Yeah its buggy as hell sometimes, I think it helps to use the volume and power buttons to navigate through it.
If it crashes just force reboot to recovery and try again.

You don't need to flash boot.img after flashing ARHD. I'm using ARHD with a custom kernel and never flashed a boot.img once.
Where are you when trying to reboot?

Help please....boot looping

Ok guys,
Im not even new to flashing phones but no idea what the heck happened....
To cut a long story short I tried Renovate which was great but i couldn't change my keyboard so I figured I maybe selected something wrong in aroma. I reinstalled it over my current set up and chose a different set up and flashed. Done. Great. When i tried to reboot it would just boot loop into the recovery.
Now i searched and saw similar issues which were fixed by relocking, and then unlocking the BL which I did but now its even worse. I can't even get into the bootloader. I can leave the device and it bootloops into the recovery but it fails to mount anything so i cannot flash anything at all....
Anybody please can guide me in the right direction?
THanks
Did you back up before flashing the rom again? Do you have that backup on your sd card?

Hi there,
I can get into recovery fine again since I found the light trick which does indeed work. Unfortunately as mentioned it wouldn't mount anything like my sdcard etc. I have just tried to format it which worked so I am trying again to sideload to see if that works
as i stand now, the phone is clean with nothing. I can get into fastboot and recovery. CWM installed.Any other ideas please?
cant believe this happened literally from nothing....

I think the reason it is not reading your sd is because when you flashed 4.2.2 it moved the data to some other directory.

What recovery u using

need help with flashing android hd 62.0

hello there,
so earlier i was trying to flash my htc one m7 with android 62.0 but it seems it wasn't a success because now my phone is just stuck in a boot loop and i cant get into recovery mode anymore. Now its been awhile since i flashed a rom, i had android hd 31.0 before that so i thought id update it but its seems its gonna be a bit harder that that. my phone is showing s-on with hboot 1.55 and i used clockwork to flash the rom. now could i get some advice as to how i could get this android hd 62.0 to work on my htc? or should i just try to revert to what i used to but the problem is the old rom isn't on my phone anymore and i was never able to find the stock rom for my phone (rogers canada m7). any advice here ?
If you have an old CWM, try upgrading it first. With newer OSs, something in the Android install procedure has changed. You need a recovery that's at least as new as TWRP 2.6.3.3. To get back to recovery, try using the power+volume down button to get to fastboot mode, and use the computer for "fastboot erase recovery" and "fastboot erase cache". Then boot to recovery.

Do you need to wipe data? Did you wipe data within the ARHD installer? (For me, it doesn't ever work unless I do this. You can make a nandroid backup before if you want.)

Could be--is your phone the m7-ul, the international HTC One? If so, did you wipe cache and dalvik cache in recovery, and data inside the ARHD installer? If you've done all that, I'm about out of ideas...

Please help with endless boot loop animation.

My phone was unlocked and rooted but running the factory 5.1 ROM. I had a 5.1.1 update this morning but it erred during install. I removed the root using Kingo Root and that's when the endless boot looping began. It appears as if my phone now both locked and unrooted but won't complete the boot process.
I tried unlocking the phone again using Nexus Root Toolkit but it tries to boot the phone, so I can turn on USB Debugging maybe, which doesn't work so I can't find a way to unlock my phone at this point.
I tried flashing a factory image using Nexus Root Toolkit and get the below errors. Nothing changes after completion.
TWRP will not install, I assume because the phone is currently locked.
Can somebody please give me some options to try? I'll do whatever works. I don't mind stock rom, I don't mind a custom ROM. Anything that works is OK with me.
I would love to get TWRP on there if possible.
I think my first step should be to get the phone unlocked again but is there a way to do it with a phone that boot loops constantly?
Thanks.
Also, doing a wipe and reset in recovery didn't help at all.
If fastboot format userdata and cache doesn't fix it, there's nothing you can do.
This is the image I get when I try to unlock using Nexus Root Toolkit. Obviously the boot loop starts and I'm unable to complete the unlocking procedure.

Think what you will. But the answer is no.
I have two options in recovery; Wipe Cache Partition & Wipe Data/Factory Reset.
I've done both and it still boot loops.
So this phone needs to go in to the shop for service?

1) following incorrect and useless advice wastes time

fastboot format userdata and cache is your only option.
It appears that the boot loop is still present after fastboot formats.
There is nothing else I can try, correct?
If not, I'll take it in.
