I've tried it, it says entering to Recovery then reboot again...maybe I flashed the wrong TWRP, perhaps you can help me find the right one. I have HTC ONE m7_ul

[Q] Problem Installing a Custom Recovery

I'm trying to install TWRP recovery via CMD but I'm having problems. As of now, I've done the following:
Downloaded TWRP 2.5.0.0
Placed the file in the same folder used to unlock the phone that also contains fastboot
With the phone connected, i run the following command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7.img
In the prompt window, I received the following results "< waiting for device >" but i don't see anything progress thereafter on the phone or prompt window
I tried to reboot into recovery and now receive a red exclamation point within a triangle that's over a phone. See attached photo.
Thereafter, I have to force restart
Does anyone have any advice?
UPDATE
I was finally able to write the recovery on the phone. However, now when I try to boot into recovery, it fails to load recovery and boots as a normal restart.
UPDATE
I tried to reflash TWRP again. Following the reflash, I also deleted the cache using the following command
Code:
fastboot erase cache
I then reboot the bootloader using
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
This time around, after making an attempt to boot into recovery, I would get the message "Entering Recovery...". However, after a few seconds, the phone would turn off.
Thereafter, I tried to flash the OEM recovery using the steps above and I'm still have the same problem. Is my recovery partition corrupt?
I read that it helps to erase the recovery partition prior to flashing over an existing recovery. I tired the command
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
But I receive the following results
Code:
c:\Android>fastboot erase recovery
erasing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.001s
If erasing the recovery partition is good practice, how do I go about doing it?
I'm having the same problem.
I can successfully flash the TWRP 2.5.0.0 recovery ROM, but when I try to load into the recovery to flash a custom ROM, I see a flash of purple text on white background, then the screen goes black and boots normally.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ok... I had some issues when installing recovery so this is what I did...
Be advised that next steps are highly risky and that it might have worked for me but I take no responsibility if you break your device
After following almost all the instructions, I read that someone flashed the recovery to the boot partition. So I did that.
fastboot flash boot recovery.img
Now, after this, the device went to a constant bootloop and suddenly the recovery appeared.
Also, I erased the cache from fastboot with next command:
fastboot erase cache
I'm planning to post the procedure I've followed but I don't have much time lately.
Will try to do it as soon as possible.
Best regards.

You sir are my hero. Thank you!
I rebooted and went into Fastboot. Ran "fastboot erase cache". Then re-flashed the recovery image. Then ran the command "fastboot erase cache" again. Then restarted the bootloader, then went into the recovery and it worked.

Do you have the Sprint version? I have Sprint and I was running into the same issue. After searching everywhere for this issue, I came across this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40828046&postcount=240
Here's the link to the file you need: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7wls
I flashed this recovery img and it finally worked after all the other ones failed in the same way you described.
Hope it works for you!

Boot loop & cant go into recovery

I installed revolution HD 10.3 today. And after installing some applications I did a reboot and now it's stuck in a boot loop.
I have tried to go into CWM recovery, but it only starts to load and reboots directly (Shows the background and version number of CWM). Have tried to flash the CWM recovery again in fastboot but the same result.
Even tried to flash the TWRP recovery, but the same result there. It shows the TWRP logo for 1 sec then it gets rebooted.
Someone have any idees on what I could try to fix this?
In fastboot mode, do these commands:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (*recovery.img* according to the name of the recovery you want to flash)
fastboot erase cache
That should work

[Q] Trouble while flashing KitKat - Recovery gone

Hi folks,
I have a problem. I tried to flash SinlessRom GE Kitkat 5.1. It flashed allright, but then I got in a boot loop. It boots, but when the set up starts, and I see the screen where to choose the language, then device boots again (and it becomes a bootloop).
I interrupted the boot loop using Vol-down and power, but my recovery wasn't working. When I chose recovery, it didn't entered recovery but booted again.
Then I tried to flash a new recovery, but now I doesn't enter a new bootloop, but get's stuck at the white HTC Screen with in pink "entering recovery..."
I tried to erase cache in fastboot modus, but it didn't help.
Do you guys can help me? Any suggestions?

try erasing the userdata using fastboot. I has a similar problem earlier this week and I remember using that command. Sometime when I enter recovery it just goes to normal boot (randomly), not sure if thats your problem but try entering recovery multiple times. If not...
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

1- are you s-on or s-off, 4.4 is not compatible (at least for now) with S-On devices!
2- you need to "fastboot erase cache" after flashing recovery; personally i do it before and after, but the important part is after
3- why are you recommending "fastboot erase userdata", just wondering.

+1, s-off is required. I only recommend erasing userdata because I had a very similar issue, erasing userdata and a fresh recovery seemed to do the trick after no luck with simply flashing a new recovery and wiping cache Just going off past experience.

Thanks all for the response.
This did the trick:
erase cache
flash twrp recovery (first I tried cwm)
erase cache
Then I managed to enter twrp recovery and flash a new rom.
Don't know why, but I'm happy again
Thanks for the help.
Cool.. hit the users's thanks button!

[Q] Can't enter recovery

Hey guys,
I've got a big problem with my recovery. But first things first: I got my One (M7) about two or three weeks ago, flashed TWRP 2.8.3.0 and rooted via flashing the SuperSU.zip.
Yesterday I finally had time to install CM11. So I wanted to enter the recovery, first via the Power-Off menu (have a XPosed Module that added a shortcut for it) then via the bootloader and then via ADB. The "Entering-Recovery..."-Screen appears, then disappears for 2 seconds and then reappers and the phone is stuck with it, nothing happens, TWRP doesn't start.
So I tried to reflash the recovery via ADB but it doesn't help.
Does anyone have an idea about how I get my recovery working again?
Greetings from germany
Edit: If it helps: I'm on stock rom with S-On on HBOOT 1.57
fastboot erase cache
Already tried that after installing TWRP. Shall I do that before installing?
Edit: I tried fastboot erase cache now pre- and past-flashing TWRP 2.8.4.0.... nothing's changed

Are you following these steps:
In bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Have you tried other version?
I believe you must use 2.8.0.0 and above for CM11.

When your recovery will not load like this the easy way to fix it is to reflash the current firmware on the phone again
this writes the stock recovery back to the phone and most times TWRP will work again after this

Yep, I already worked it out yesterday by flashing the stock recovery first via fastboot and then TWRP again.
But thanks anyway to everyone for contributing and trying to help

This is my biggest problem I cannot boot into recovery, it bootloops after 15 seconds I choose it in the fastboot menu. I even tried to (fastboot boot recovery. img) and it also bootloops.
I cannot boot into android also, I am in big trouble. Any ideas??

First are you sure you have flashed the recovery and then erased cache and rebooted before attempting to boot in recovery mode?
Have you checked the MD5 value of your recovery before flashing?
"fastboot boot recovery.img" was only available on hboot 1.44

I literally tried all of the recovery images I found for that device , I always check the md5 , and erase cache.
It looks like it is finishes flashing properly with no errors , but when I try to boot into recovery it bootloops.
Ok I found it no worries
If someone can help me find the ruu for vodap001 x. xx. 161.x would be my savior right now
