Just as it says in the OP:
Make sure fastboot is unchecked in power options and turn phone completely off
Boot into HBOOT then Fastboot
From fastboot. Use command "fastboot erase cache"
From fastboot. Use command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

From your computer. (you are unlocked right?)
But since you're asking, (sorry no offense intended at ALL), have you familiarized yourself with the various guides for unlocking, custom firmware, rooting, flashing, etc.
I really recommend doing that before proceeding.
Also once you do flash the custom recovery, do a nandroid backup of your stock rom, in case you need it in the future.

no no, not s-off, just bootloader unlocked (using HTCdev), and since your already rooted and on a custom rom, you've obviously already done that.
You're good to flash the updated recovery as mentioned in the steps above.
Download the recovery img to your computer, and place it the same folder as your fastboot/adb commands are
then reboot your phone to bootloader
connect the phone to your PC, and on your phone it will read "FASTBOOT USB"
then on your PC run:
"fastboot erase cache"
"fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img"

yep, you need the sdk and also the drivers for your PC, a quick search through the forum or google will find you plenty of answers; there's also a toolkit here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
though I never use it myself, but it does contain the adb/fastboot commands in one of it's subfolders.

you should be fine, in the attached screenshot use the POWER button to enter FASTBOOT, once it says FASTBOOT where it now shows HBOOT, connect it to your PC.
it should then show as FASTBOOT USB (if it doesn't then you're missing the drivers on your PC, and have to reinstall them)
then just follow the steps on your PC:
"fastboot erase cache"
"fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img"
if any of those give you an error message (or any message), post them for us to see.

adb is not a windows program, you have to open a command prompt. go to the folder where adb is located, then SHIFT + RIGHT CLICK -> "Open command window here"
then you should be able to run adb or fastboot
check your device is connected with "adb devices" or "fastboot devices"

Sideload a custom recovery? What? Haha
Your phone has the updated touch drivers. That is why twrp won't work. Go to their thread. Redownload the newest version. Rename it TWRP.img. Make sure its in the same folder as your fastboot files. Hold shift and right click inside the folder. Select open command prompt here. Connect the phone while its in bootloader. "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img" "fastboot erase cache".
Good luck.

Soft bricked phone need help with side loading

I tried it install a new ROM and something went wrong. When it went wrong it went wrong. I lost all my backups and everything. I can get into TWRP right now. If I try and reboot with out going to TWRP I am just stuck at the white HTC screen. So I think the boot is messed up.
In searching looks like I will need to sideload via TWRP a new ROM to load. I can not find a good DIY for the sideload. I turn on sideloading and my PC sees my phone and loads it as a E drive. I an not get into my phone. I am searching through a lot of posts but with out luck. Just people saying they did it with out saying how.
Thank you for any help.

-> means your device is in fastboot
go ahead, as suggested

fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter recovery
then as suggested
Code:
adb push <name_of_file>.zip /sdcard/
and install from twrp
or use sideload, whatever makes you happy
sorry again guys
i'll bug out now
PS: "cannot load" = the filename is wrong!! that's all
Ok got home and I tried a different USB port. I did a sideload of a older version on the ROM that I knew was good and phone is back up and working. Thank you all! Thanks are given out!

[Q] Stuck on Cyanogenmod Simple Recovery

Hi,
I'm in desperate need of some help and am not sure what to do. My HTC One m7 got stuck in Cyanogenmod Simple Recovery after the latest update. It will keep rebooting back into Simple Recovery. Is there any way to get my phone back either to stock or to Cyanogenmod?
I always just left it on Cyanogenmod so I'm not very familiar with flashing or other programs. If anyone has any advice, could you please point me to the correct tutorials and downloads?
I am at a complete loss with how to get my phone to its original state.

You will have to flash CWM recovery in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB. You can get the recovery from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager find your phone then download the recovery.
In bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, flash CWM recovery (either rename the file CWM.img or type the whole name in place of CWM):
fastboot flash recovery CWM.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Thank you for replying.
So from what I'm understanding is that I will need to use ADB to sideload the recovery onto my phone, correct?
I'm not sure what the bootloader/FASTBOOT USB you refer to, I feel like I need it to be ELI5. My brain is melting when trying to read this.
P.S. I am STUCK in Cyanogenmod Simple Recovery. I am not able to power down the device or get to any other screen.

No, you can not load the recovery with sideload. Have ADB & Fastboot installed on your computer, place the recovery file in the same folder and connect your phone to the computer.
Open a command window in the folder where ADB & fastboot reside.
Type: adb reboot bootloader
When the screen on your phone shows the white bootloader screen in blue will be FASTBOOT USB
Type one line at a time waiting until the cmd screen states OK or something similiar:
fastboot flash recovery CWM.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Here is a guide on fastboot commands.

So I was able to get my device past the first prompt. I now see the white bootloader screen and it does say "FASTBOOT USB". I downloaded the latest TWRP and placed it in the same folder as ADB and Fastboot. I did the second command to flash it, however I keep getting the error "error: cannot open 'TWRP.img'. Any idea as to what I could be doing wrong?

Got it to work. Used adb to get into fastboot. Then opened up the CM installer and let it redownload cyanogenmod onto my phone.
Thanks for the help!

Manual OTA Update - NO ROOT

Here's how to sideload the update without ROOT.
EDIT: added a more precise description of every step
- Enter Bootloader (swipe top left-bottom right as soon as the LG logo pops up on boot)
- Unlock bootloader (fastboot oem unlock) and boot the watch normally once
- Turn off and re-enter bootloader
- Flash 5.0.1 Stock Recovery (fastboot flash recovery filename.img)
- Enter recovery and ADB sideload the update (tap the android, select install update from ADB and enter adb sideload filename.zip)
- Done!
If this was helpful to you, feel free to press the Thanks button :good:
Also, you might have to reinstall the ADB drivers since the device will be identified as Dory (LG G Watch) when sideload of 5.0.1 recovery is enabled. (LG's fault)

ok, so I unlocked the bootloader, flashed the 5.0.1 recovery, then booted to recovery, selected the adb sideload (the watch now says "Now send the package you want to apply to the device with "adb sideload <filename>"..."
however, in CMD, adb devices is not returning anything. there is no 'new devices connected' sound in windows when removing/replacing the watch from the cradle.
can someone please tell me what am I doing wrong?
EDIT:
nevermind, I did fastboot flash recovery... not adb boot recovery..
it's fine, uploading zip now.

Wait, what's the correct command for flashing recovery if it is not fastboot flash .img?

may I ask you for some help how did you download the 5.0.1 recovery? I am struggling with ezdownloader

I did fastboot flash recovery.img, and it looked like it was fine, but when I rebooted to recovery and started adb sideload, the pc did not recognise the device.
However, doing fastboot boot recovery.img, it booted straight to the recovery image and starting sideload was fine.
Can you list the correct steps (with commands) to do in order to flash it?
I'm not expert and I prefer to follow literally your steps.
Thx

I guess...don't use that ezdownloader (untick the option).
I also uploaded the img here.

Are you having problems downloading it through dev-host? Be careful as there are two download buttons on that page, one is legit and the other is adware and popups.
As b0gd4n said, there may be a tick box to uncheck.

But boot is kernel partition...How is that allowed? Can anyone else confirm that is what we are supposed to do? Can you boot into system fine afterwards?

Perfect. Thank you!
To everyone having trouble with the process, I edited the first post.
Please be careful if you don't know your way around ADB and Fastboot. While it's technically a safe procedure, there is always room for total screwup!

the first time, I did just those steps and when I got to start adb sideload, my pc will not recognise that any device was plugged in, therefore, unable to do any abd commands.
I needed to do fastboot boot recovery.img instead, and this booted me straight to the image. Now, when I started the sideload feature, the pc recognised the watch straight away, and was able to sideload the update.

I guess it didn't flash properly the first time. Issuing the boot command makes a lot of sense nonetheless, as it boots straight to the new recovery without even flashing it. I'm happy you worked it out in the end.
Would you not need to flash the recovery first and then boot from it? Or does the update also update the recovery?

The update patches it, but without updating prior you won't be able to sideload it in the first place. LG Really goofed up our watch.

Ah OK, Just waiting to finish work now and then gonna give it a go.
sideload problem
Thanks to all the contributors so far.
I installed the new recovery no problem. When I boot into recovery from bootloader menu and try to sideload the zip file, I get nothing other than, in Terminal, the adb command help listings, like I typed in the wrong command. Here is what I input
adb sideload 149e0c34d0ab10d3e356d6301915dcc04552d9db.signed-lenok-LWX48P-from-KNX01R.149e0c34.zip
I can type 'adb devices' and my device is listed, but for some reason I am having a problem with the sideload command. Any advice?
