Cannot load 'Access' bootloader

I am new to rooting and unlocking my new HTC One. I have had great pleasure in doing the same to my galaxy nexus in the past but this one has got me beat.
I have unlocked the bootloader via the HTC site. I have the latest drivers installed and showing OK in the device manager.
I am trying to load a TWRP on my phone without any succes. I can see it listed in the HTC tool kit I have. Its listed as 'SH****** fastboot device. I click install recovery but nothing happens.
I have tried it through the CMD prompt also but get the error 'cannot load'
Can someone please help as I'm desperate to root and install a custom Rom on my phone.
Thanks in advance.

download the correct twrp for your device then put it on your fastboot folder and flash via cmd prompt (fastboot flash recovery [twrp file name].img)

Are you sure you have the right recovery .img file? What's the file size of the recovery? Should be around 8MB.

It should be its 8.43MB in size.
I got it from here.

you're forgetting ".img" in the file name, "DIR" on your computer and then use the full file name of the recovery, that's all
EDIT: I think it's called "openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7.img" (unless you saved it under a different name)
so fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7.img
EDIT 2: just saw you folder
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.6.3.0.img

Thanks for that,I've finally been able to install a recovery and also install my first ROM as well.
Thanks a lot

[Q] HTC One Brick?

Hi guys. Was just trying to install a 4.4 custom rom on my HTC One using CWM. I got into rrecovery mode and started trying to install the rom but it came up with an error saying it had aborted. I realised I hadn't made a backup so I thought I best do it in case anything goes wrong. I tried doing that and rebooting the phone. Now the HTC logo flashes on screen before flashing off and then the phone puts me back in recovery. Have I bricked this phone? If anyone can help me I can answer any more necessary questions.

You need TWRP 2.6.3.3 (or later) for 4.4 roms, also if you are using a GPE rom, then you need to be s-off.
Download from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 don't use a download manager, it will fail; download normally and check MD5 to make sure file is not corrupt,
go to bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, and flash it:
fastboot flash openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and install the ROM again.

wherever you put it, didnt you unlock your phone using "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin"? that would be the folder (often referred to the adb sdk)

Sorry I'm just panicking an awful lot. I'm a bit calmer now though so I'll crack on. I've got TWRP back up and I've tried to install the ROM but it keeps saying failed. Is therre any way to make my phone available to transfer to so I can try a different ROM?
EDIT: It seems I did make a backup with TWRP, I'm assuming that wouldn't show up on CWM? That seems to be working so I'll count myself lucky. I would very much like to get stock android 4.4 though so do you know of any detailed guides for getting that with TWRP on HTC one?
By the way THANK YOU SO MUCH for everything. I completely panicked and I would never have figured any of this out without your help. Thank you.

Unfortunately, TWRP and CWM backups aren't interchangeable but you can always flash back the proper recovery for the backup, and restore.

[Q] No OS, Sideload not working, RUU toolkit can't find device....Stuck!

I had a ton of problems with my CM11, It would crash everytime I tried to download something and playstore would crash. I tried restoring a few backups I made before Gapps ect...but it kept reverting back to the same problem.
I didn't make a stock backup and was pretty much stuck. I planned to do a wipe, and sideload Viperrom so I could at least activate my phone since it is Sense based.
That didn't work, so I downloaded the RUU toolkit, and it keeps saying device not found, even though it is showing up on Windows, clearly it's connected. Drivers are installed, though Squibbys toolkit. Adb sideload won't work and Squibbies can't find device. I can't access the CMD panel on my Winodows computer because I'm staying in a hotel for a trip and they have it blocked, and all I have with me is my Macbook.
Is there a way to download Viperone or Viperrom, and load it onto my phone with my mac? Twrp is running and working fine, I just need an .img on my internal storage so I can install it.
I hate these stupid phones

This ruu is for dev edition. From what I see on post #3 you have the sprint variant recovery (WLS). Unless you have made an error downloading the wrong recovery, I assume your phone is a WLS variant and the dev RUU can't be used on your phone as all M7_U/M7_UL roms.
Like SaHiLzZ said, post your fastboot getvar all before proceeding any further.
Open a terminal windows
Change directory to your adb/fastboot folder i.e:
Code:
cd [COLOR="Red"]desktop/some_folder[/COLOR] [COLOR="Orange"]<---- replace red characters to match your fastboot
folder path[/COLOR]
then
Code:
fastboot-mac getvar all
or
./fastboot-mac getvar all
post the output except IMEI and serialno

I'm not sure what I should or shouldn't post about the details of my phone, I pulled the getvar

plug your phone to your mac via usb and reboot it in recovery mode.
make sure your rom .zip is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are
ADB PUSH the rom on your phone:
Code:
/.adb-mac push name_of_file.zip /sdcard/
then in recovery install the rom.
don't forget to use a WLS rom or you can use a guru reset rom to go back to stock. http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_sprint_3-04-651-2-zip/

OR lock your bootloader and flash this http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_..._NV_SPCS_4.38_003_release_335355_signed_2.exe

I Decided i wanted to try and root my at&t htc one m7 and its not working out to awesome.. I unlocked bootloader, installed twrp recovery and then installed SuperSU. but when i check root it says i do not have root access. when i click on superSU, it says it does not have the binary, im not sure what that means. i searched a bunch but couldn't find the solution to my problem, just people with a similar issue. any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!!
my main goal is to root and turn my phone into a google play edition htc one, still keep the beats and to be able to use hot-spot.

Double post are a no-no. You need to close or delete the other post and stick to one post.
What TWRP version are you using? Which version of SuperSU?
Are you trying to make your phone a Google Play version phone if so then you will need to S-OFF so you can make the appropriate changes.
Could you also post your fastboot getvar all except for imei and serialno?

You need to update both your SuperSU and TWRP. Depending on which rom you want to flash some users have had success with TWRP 2.6.3.3 but the some newer ROM require 2.8.X.X.

Download the files from my previous post. The SuperSU file place in the Download folder on your phone. The TWRP file place in your adb & fastboot folder on your PC. After that is complete boot the phone into bootloader/FASTBOOT USB and enter each line one at a time:

So I'm guessing your stuck in the bootloader. This should be a fairly easy fix. I'm not available for Skype at the moment but as I say should be an easy fix.So lets get some prerequisite's out of the way first.
Do you have access to a pc with working adb/fastboot?
I see the bootloader is unlocked, is it running a custom recovery and if so which one (name and version please)

Once your up and running if you want to go back to stock you can use this Nandroid Backup http://www.htc1guru.com/2013/11/stock-backup-3-23-666-1/
Alternatively you could use it instead of the Rom in my other post but the push is a little more complicated. Where as once the device e is booting you can just drop the nandroid in the correct folder using MTP on your pc.

Your device has an Internal Sd card. But that stock zip I'd not a Rom, you can't flash it like a Rom. It a Nandroid Backup so it needs to be restored using TWRP.
You need to get TWRP to flash, try updating your your adb/fastboot. You can check your current version by typing
Code:
adb version
In the command window. Latest is 1.0.31 :good:

to flash twrp boot in bootloader/fastboot usb mode and flash trwp recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then boot in recovery and use adb push like the others suggested before:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard
and then install the rom, reboot and youre done.
