Custom Recovery help - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I used the CM app and Windows to unlock, and root my ATT One. I've tried several times to use Flashify to flash TWRP./ It will load and get me to the TWRP main menu, but it freezes and I have to hold volume down and power to get to recovery to reboot. Am I stuck with CWM?

Did you do
fastboot erase cache
?

[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...

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

Thanks, I will take a look at it since I still only can install TWRP 2.6.3.3 and enter it, other versions won't start and 2.6.3.3 gives me an error every time I want to install a custom rom -.-
Edit: Doesn't work

[Q] Mismatched partition size (recovery) when flashing stock 5.0.1 recovery

I am trying to back out everything I've done to the phone and start fresh with 5.1. I had rooted, decrypted, and installed TWRP. To undo this, I did a factory reset, downloaded the shamu-lrx22c factory image from google, and used adb/fastboot to put it all back the way I found it. These are the commands I used :
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-shamu-moto-apq8084-71.05.img
fastboot flash radio radio-shamu-d4.0-9625-02.55.04.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
It appeared to all work. Now when I try to get back into recovery, the phone sits at the android with the red triangle and !. The bootloader logs state "Mismatched partition size (recovery)."
Did I do a bad thing somewhere along the way? Thanks in advance.
Try flashing the recovery again. I think if I was you I would also fastboot -w to format the userdata and cache since you already did a factory reset or use google's images by using "fastboot flash userdata userdata.img", "fastboot erase cache" and then "fastboot flash cache cache.img".
Also, check the md5 of the image you downloaded to make sure it was not corrupt.

I used fastboot -w to format the userdata/cache. And I also tried the three fastboot commands you listed. They all seem to work, but the reflashing of the recovery still throws the same error.
MD5 checksum of the whole zip is the same. I re-extracted the recovery.img file just to be sure and it still throws the same error.

Thats normal though isn't it? With Stock recovery you have to press Volume up and power to get into the recovery menu from that screen

Sadly, that doesn't do anything. Pressed repeatedly, held down for a while, nothing. up until the point where it reboots from the power button being held long enough.

I have the same problem here but maybe i have found a solution for it:
what i did was i left the 5.1 bootloader.img and took all the other stuff from a 5.0 factory image such as: radio.img, system.img..... fastbooted everything and i was with a 5.0 LP stock out of the box, then i have rooted it, installed twrp with f2fs support and voila i'm now good to go
hope this will help you out

When you see the android with the red triangle and !, you need to hold the power button, and while you are holding it down, press volume up. Pushing them both together, or one after the other, or holding them down together or whatever else won't work.

Help! Am I screwed?

Nexus 6 - I unlocked and installed twrp recovery deleted oem files but then relocked and now phone is flashing the twrp recovery splash screen and it goes no further. What the hell do I do now? I can do fastboot but can't unlock in fastboot because it says to allow enable unlock in Developer options.
Does android boot?
I am at the bootloader, from there if I start it simply goes to the twrp recovery splash screen just flashing every couple of seconds and I'm stuck there.

Use "fastboot reboot" from bootloader. Same?
What about "fastboot reboot recovery"?
fastboot reboot does the same, fastboot reboot recovery does nothing
You cannot get Into recovery at all? No way?
If I hit recovery from bootloader the twrp recovery splash just flashes
OK. Yep I think you're screwed
Can you use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/fix-fix-qhusbbulk-cm12-t3059518 in order to flash factory images using RSD Lite?
