[Q] Not able to flash recovery.img after S-OFF and firmware upgrade

Hi,
I S-OFF'ed my HTC One, and upgraded the firmware!! Now i have a problem flashing the recovery.
When I'm trying to flash the recovery I'm only getting:
c:\Android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (7422 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.188s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 1.223s
Any idea of why its giving me remote: not allowed?

Have you tried to change the cable or the usb port?
However, all the other command will work?

Hehe never mind, it was a total brainfreeze, when i used revone, i also locked the bootloader again so unlocking it again kinda helped hehe
Thanks for the reply anyways

Model ID PN0713000???????

Hi Im Noob, I unlocked my One a while back and found my modelid to be pn0713000. Ive searched and searched for others who have the same but havent found any. Im rooted running InsertCoin and recently tried to s-off my phone using revone, everything seems to have worked fine and my bootloader 1.44 says im s-off. But when I tried flashing the new firmware.zip I get a fail message saying this:
C:\adb>fastboot flash zip C:\adb\firmware.zip
sending 'zip' (26802 KB)... OKAY [ 2.817s]
writing 'zip'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 2.851s
any help finding out whats wrong will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance

You need to be in RUU mode to flash the firmware.
Once there if your firmware.zip file is in your ADB folder then the full pathname is not required ie 'fastboot flash zip firmware.zip'
There are links to 2 firmware flashing guides in my signature below, these will guide you through the process

Because your bootloader is locked.
You have to unlock, flash the stock recovery and after re-lock.
Now you can get ota update

Could be a bad download.
Try a different USB port...USB 2 work best.
Try a different PC.

So I checked again and I was wrong, I'm not S-Off...that was my other HTC ONE, I thought I'd done the same to this one.
But Now I'm having problems...I want to do a firmware update to fix Viper 7.0.1 issues with data/connectivity but it's still not letting me.
Will I be able to flash the updated firmware in the full version with S-On?
I've being running RumRunner all day on different computers and different usb ports...still no luck

Try Firewater for s-off.
Yes you can flash the Full Firmware while s-on but you will have to re-lock your bootloader to do so which means unlocking again and wiping your phone.

Put the firewater file in your adb/fastboot/platform tools folder, open a cmd window then copy and paste the commands on the firewater site.

had a communication error with RUU, restarting things, trying again

I had a similar problem, so I bought a MicroSD card and trying flashing the RUU that way and it worked on the first try.

RUU went through. Now maybe by some chance firewater will work...

Most likely it won't and you'll need to use the Sunshine exploit.

Firewater won't work. If you look at my thread from a couple days ago I had the exact same issues. Ruu in fastboot, unlock bootloader, install twrp 281, and run sunshine.
