[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

can't flash after 4.3

Updated clean to 4.3 with s-off, everytime I try to flash twrp from the bootloader it says
target reported max download size of 1526722560 bytes
sending 'recovery' (8432 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.108s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 1.139s
after that, I tried to unlock the bootloader with a new unlock code and it gives me the same error.
am I missing something obvious?

nvm, was just a lot more convoluted to figure out this time than in the past.

I can't flash anything anymore. Just says "bad" & aborts. I'm on latest firmware 3.22 hboot 1.55 cid-11111111 s-off Insertcoin 3.4-3. Tried different recoveries as well.
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium HD app

Help please!!!!! :(

Guys, I've gained s.off on 1.54 hboot, then I wanted to downgrade to 1.44 hboot with official firmware zip, but when I try to run the ruu it always gives me a 171 error!
I can enter only into bootloader, recovery is stock and I cannot flash a custom one, it says writing recovery.... failed (remote not allowed)
I cannot flash manually rom zip files
I cannot boot normally my phone because after HTC logo it stays black...
Help Please!!!

you are saying that you have gained S-off

relocked phone, how do I unlock it again?

I have an HTC Desire C
It was not able to boot, got stuck at the boot screen.
So I used fastboot, unlocked the bootloader, installed cwm recovery, and then accidentally relocked the phone. Now I can't unlock it again.
I get this when I try to unlock it again:
fastboot oem flash Unlock_code.bin
...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.009s]
finished. total time: 0.010s
I get this error when I try to boot into RUU mode and try to flash a zip:
sending 'zip' (250722 KB)...
OKAY [ 20.054s]
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 52.095s
I cant flash the stock recovery back cuz my bootloader isn't unlocked. What should I do now? Any help would be appreciated

Unable to Install TWRP from Fastboot Mode

Hello Guys im attempting to install TWRP 3.0.2 on my Moto X 2nd Gen 2014 with Android 6.0 Official but im getting an error in my command prompt. I have already attempt to request and an unlock code for unlocking the bootloader but motorolas site state my phone is not authorize for unlocking it. Does my phone need to have boot loader unlocked to be able to follow this step? Im pretty much attempting to install this recover to be able to root following this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/root-root-moto-x-2014-android-t3249105

Yes, the bootloader needs to be unlocked to install a custom recovery (which is stated prior to the first step in the thread you mentioned). At one time there was an"unofficial" bootloader unlock that you might look into.
