[Q] HTC One will not boot into TWRP or CWM - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I recently got an HTC One from CSpire. I had no trouble unlocking the bootloader. When I try to go into a custom recovery so that I can root, I get the message "Entering Recovery...". However, this screen only lasts a few seconds then my phone boots up like normal, completely skipping the recovery. I've tried multiple versions of TWRP and CWM. Any ideas? I'm not that experienced with android devices. I haven't been able to root because of the recovery issue I am having. Please help!

what instructions are you using to flash the recovery ?
do you have the all in one kit ?

Reboot on fastboot with Power volume down.
Once you are in fastboot you enter the following command:
fastboot erase chache
After this you should be able to reboot in recovery without any problem
Good luck

Clearing the cache didnt work. I just tried again using TWRP 2.5.0.0. I know its not the latest, but the latest doesn't work either.
Also sometimes when I try to go into recovery, my device freezes on the "Entering Recovery..." screen.

I've tried a couple different all in ones. None of them work. And I can push the recovery to the phone no problem. Its when I actually try to go into Recovery from the boot menu that I have this issue.

Have you tried the following command in fastboot?, fastboot flash recovery (name of your recovery file).img
Make sure you have the right recovery file for your device, example: openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7.img

Yes. Multiple times. I've done everything I can find on the web so far. It's almost like the recovery isn't sticking (Not sure if thats possible.) Maybe I need to try and get S-Off?

SOLVED!! I had to use the Sprint Version of TWRP. It worked the first try!

Let me know if it works and how you done it that would be great thanks
Working with flyhalfs touch (CWM) version, everything is fine.
After flashing the recovery u should fastboot erase cache.
If u got no rom on SD u should connect an OTG before booting into recovery and flash zip from external sd.

erasing the cache solved the problem. thanks helmut!
Mine still not having it it's saying tampered and unlocked any ideas
Flash this
Then flash it from cmd with
Code:
fastboot flash recovery CWM_Touch_6.0.2.8_M7.img
Code:
fastboot erase cache
If there are still problems, rename CWM_Touch_6.0.2.8_M7.img to "recovery.img" and use the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
LG, Helmut

When you flash the recovery.img, was it successful and did you wipe the cache afterward?
Are you able to enter the bootloader then select Recovery, does it try to enter recovery then reboots?

Trys to go into recovery but just restarts i can't get into recovery at all
I get the screen saying unlocked and fast boot and so on you know the one with all the coloured text but won't do anything else
Try flashing a different recovery to the one you have installed.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
I seem to be having the exact same problem. Really starting to annoy me, I need to root my phone already haha!
Did you end up getting it to work?
Cheers!
same problem here....tried alle the recommended recoveries, but none worked for me.
When i flashed recovery it says all succeded, then i try to get into recovery, but it still reboots, htc logo appears, than for about 4-5 seconds the screen stays black and then there comes the t-mobile carrier logo and boot sound :/

according to the TWRP thread, it doesn't seem to be supported yet
I've got the same problem with the non working recovery. I now tried the CWM Touch AND Classic Recovery v6.0.3.0.
I tried to flash them with the All in One Tool by Hasoon 2000 and also manually with CMD commands (fastboot flash recovery & afterwards fastboot erase cache). It always said flash successful, but it's not able to boot into recovery.
I've got a Swiss HTC One Branded by Swisscom (which seems to use a vodafone CID: VODAP110).
My Build Number is 1.28.161.7 CL162357 release-keys
may that cause the problem?
I somehow got it to work. I didn't make any changes (that I can remember) but I tried it the next day again, booting into recovery with the HTC One (M7) All-In-One Toolkit V1.0, and it just worked!
Hopefully you guys can get it to work somehow too!
HA! I finally got it.
Just don't try to flash recovery as recovery, flash it as a boot img. CWM touch and TWRP was NOT working for me, but normal CWM does.
But it seems to be some issues with ADB, so please wait until i got my Guide ready

just to be sure:
you used "fastboot flash boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.0-m7.img" and it worked?

htc one not booting

So yesterday I decided to reinstall my ARHD 30 as many of my apps were crashing.So after installing without wiping the data it asked me that as root wasn't available would I like to root it?I selected yes and after rebooting it got stuck on HTC screen and then again rebooted to recovery.
So I installed the ROM again and this time selected no for the root option.So after rebooting it same thing happened but this time when it enters recovery the recovery screen just flashes and the same thing keeps happening.I can open the bootloader though. what is happening?I think I have deleted the recovery but I am not sure.I hope that my device isn't bricked.

maybe a bad download, download again, check MD5 sum, I also think you'll need to do a WIPE in the installer.

just download a recovery again, and flash it in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter RECOVERY
After the flash of recovery have you did an erase cache?
If not, try it:
Code:
fastboot erase cache

[Q] HTC One in a boot loop

Hello.
I was in the process of upgrading my HTC One from 4.2 and successfully unlocked the bootloader. But thereafter my phone just constantly reboots. It shows the HTC splash screen for about 10 seconds and the reboots again.
I am able to go into the fastboot screen (see screen shot). But when I select Recovery, the phone gors to the next screen - displays "Entering Recovery" - and nothing else happens thereafter.
Can anyone please help? Have looked at other such questions and tried but nothing has helped.
Thanks

I'm not sure you did ever flash a custom recovery!
1. Put your phone in fastboot from the bootloader meny. You already did this while rooting, so you got it already!
2. In your "SDK-tools" folder that you used while unlocking the device, put [nameofyourrecovery].img I recommend you to install TWRP 2.6.3.3, as it is the best one for flashing kitkat and lets you do this if you wish I cannot give you a link as I am a new member, but search google for TWRP 2.6.3.3 and you will find it. Make sure it is .img and not .zip!
3. While in fastboot, open a command prompt in the ADB folder.
4. To flash your custom recovery, type
fastboot flash recovery [nameofyourrecovery].img

You have an M7CDWG, twrp is for M7_U & M7_UL models, if i'm not mistaken. Start googling for M7CDWG, it's a completely different phone than the U / UL phones.
and you need to "fastboot erase cache" after flashing recovery

Not really, don't know much about your model. You'll need to find a ROM compatible with your device; if it doesnt specifically say it's for your device, then most likely it isn't!!
I think there's a Maximus HD ROM for your version, but i have no idea where.
Did you..
Aside from flashing a recovery and rooting your phone, did you make any other modifications or flash any other partitions?
If no, then wipe Dalvek cache from TWRP. Boot into TWRP and select Wipe. Select advanced. Select Dalvek and Cache. Wipe power down. then power on and see if it will boot.

i had a similar problem last week with a One, a friend bricked his One by flashing "???" Dont know exactly whar he has done.
The phone had boot loops all the time.
my solution was:
- connecting the phone with the usb cable to my pc.
- started the phone into fastboot usb mode
- started cmd at my notebook
- change to the directory which contains adb and fastboot
- execute: fastboot erase cache
- restarted the phone
the phone starts normally into ARHD 40.3
perhaps it works ...

[Solved][HELP] Flashng twrp recovery through adb and accessing stock recovery problem

Hey Guys,
I just decided to install Twrp 3.0.2-2 and root my XT1092,
I have been facing issue right after flashing twrp, i select Recovery option in bootloader. Which just shuts down my phone.
After that i try to access recovery by booting into fastboot mode which again gives me a shutdown.
Later i discovered i could access stock recovery when my device is booted into the official mm rom. "adb reboot recovery"
Please help me guys. I tried fxz'ing and retrying the whole process. with different methods to no avail.
i even tried just rooting by only booting recovery "fastboot boot recovery.img" which again gives me a blank screen.
Any help would be really appreciated.

So you put the phone in bootloader mode:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-2-victara.img
Then you use only the volume rocker to select recovery (not the power button).
If the phone boots into stock Android, TWRP will be overwritten with stock recovery (which is useless), in which case you'll have to repeat the above.
same issue
on Verizon. Bootloader unlocked with code from Moto. Trying to use Windroid to finish up twrp install and root. I got a message in bootloader about mismatched partition size. tried ADB commands and said it installed. still won't work. no idea what to do next. was thinking of relocking and starting over but I would rather not. any suggestions? Thanks!
I have tried that as well. Used the volume rocker buttons to select recovery. I end up with a blank screen.
Tried fastboot flash recovery.img and I even tried mfastboot flash recovery as well.
Device just doesn't go to recovery after flashed through fastboot and selecting recovery.

Is your bootloader unlocked? Maybe you should try reflashing the full stock firmware, and trying again.

Just popping in right quick, but your command is wrong.
It should be "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (no ") The 2nd recovery in that string is going to be the name of your recovery. If it is twrp.img, then use that. If it is Mondaysux, then it'll be mondaysux.img.

What version of TWRP are you using?
I'm assuming you're on OOS 4.0+ and are still encrypted? If so, use the latest unreleased official version.

I tried using an older version first as that was the one that the guide linked me to but after it didn't work I found that version you linked myself and tried it but I'm getting the same result
Also, the command to reboot to recovery is "fastboot reboot recovery"
Putting boot into anything is making the fastboot drivers think you are trying to flash a kernel (boot.img)
Edit: Also what root version (specifically) did you use?
Try using fastboot to wipe the recovery partition before flashing twrp again.
The commands are:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery [twrp file name].img
Then reboot to recovery

Why not use the volume keys from bootloader to go to recovery
And using system in f2fs format twrp takes time to reach main menu
So I suggest after flashing latest recovery as suggested by other members wait for 5 to 7 minutes

How long are you waiting while on the splash screen and how much of the phone's internal storage have you used? As mentioned above, TWRP will take longer to boot while you use the phone's default f2fs storage system. The more space you use on the phone, the longer it takes to boot.

Okay so going into recovery with the volume buttons instead actually worked and I feel really dumb, thanks you very much though
