You dont get it. I know that the RUU flash the stock recovery , I just ask I can flash RUU while having TWRP installed.

yeah sure you can.
you just need to be S-Off if RUU is a downgrade, and you may need to downgrade separately first.

If you make S-OFF there is no need the flash the boot.img from recovery, you just need to flash the zip again.

I am S OFF, UNLOCKED.
When I boot into bootloader and into fastbootmode, as soon as i connect the cable to my phone, the fastboot USB mode freezez... No keys work that time...I have to press and hold power button for a few seconds in order to reboot the phone. This happen always with me.
I wanted to backup my Stock recovery by booting into custom recovery using this command fastboot boot name_of_your_custom_recovery.img . It sends the recovery and everything is okay on the PC, but nothing happens on the phone.
But I did flash the unlock.bin via fastboot, that way it works....I am not getting what the problem is.
I need to backup my STOCK RECOVERY (HTC CID_J15) before flashing CWM.
ANy help would be appreciated.

Not sure about your fastboot issue, but just an FYI if you have upgraded your firmware and now have hboot 1.54 you can no longer use the command
Code:
fastboot boot name_of_your_custom_recovery.img
to boot to a non installed recovery. That can only be done with the older 1.44 hboot.
Since you have s-off, if you can get fastboot working, you should be able to flash hboot 1.44 if you the need the ability to boot a non installed recovery.

Could go a few different routes. First there are tons of users who posted the stock recovery on XDA and other sites. Also it could be pulled from the RUU if you device has one or one of the posted nandroid backups. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39588860)
This site has the original retail dump which has the stock recovery:
http://www.modaco.com/topic/361407-htc-one-retail-release-dump/
You have s-off, so you can downgrade back to hboot 1.44 and boot a custom recovery. Just flash the stock 1.44 hboot from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316726
When finished you can leave hboot 1.44 or flash back up to 1.54.
Lastly if you have root you can look around (Will have to search) for how to pull the recovery.img like a system dump.
Best of luck.

No there are differences for some of the different models and carriers. You will have to match your CID to one of the nandroids or find the proper RUU.
The stock recovery was updated in 2.24 I think, but I am not positive since I didn't ever use it.
It will only take a few minutes to flash the hboot to 1.44 so that you can boot a recovery and take a backup for yourself. I would recommend that method.

Um, not sure where your getting that but just flashing stock hboots will not brick your phone. I have switched my hboot around between like 4 different versions 10+ times to test some things after the firmware upgrades.
Even the modified one are no problem.
Oh well. Good luck.

[Q] HELP: Messed up my kernel and boot.img

I know, two very bad mistakes. I was excited. First thing I did wrong was install a GE kernel when I should have installed a sense one..then I used fast boot to write TWRP to my boot image by accident instead of recovery. I tried to update RUU using fastboot, but I keep getting errors. I cant mount my internal storage, can't side load either.
Whenever I reboot, I boot into TWRP instead of system now. I probably have to restore, but not being able to RUU or side load, I dont know what to do. Please help!

Just boot into fastboot and flash a new boot.img which matches your ROM
Thanks! But where do I get a boot.img file? I tried looking but couldn't find one. I could just find ZIP ROMs and RUUs

Is this the boot.img that I should flash:
hboot_signedbyaa.img
Also, after that, should I RUU?

Yes. You also should flash stock recovery before you flash the RUU, just to make sure everything goes right.

The RUU flashes the stock recovery so you don't need this. You don't even need the boot.img if you're going to flash an RUU. Just connect the phone in fastboot mode and then run the RUU. So long as you're S-OFF it should run fine
Your phone doesn't need a kernel to boot to recovery or fastboot, recovery has its own kernel built in... Just goto fastboot and flash a new boot.img

Hboot_signedbyaa.img isn't a boot.img it's a hboot

Hi mate, in your signature I red OS 2.24.4018 / HBoot 1.54.0000 and now "tadaaaa" S-OFF and so on.
How did you do that? I've damaged my brain and gnawn down my nails but nothing works ....
Have you installed the 1.54.0000 on top of the 1.44.0000 (unlocked + S-OFF) and your HBOOT is still unlocked and S-OFF?
Or are u using the black&beauty ONE?
Then ou are a lucky man I guess.
God bless you.
I was S-OFF on 1.44 and then did the OTA so I kept S-OFF - sorry to get your hopes up!

[Q] Is it possible to root without installing a custom recovery?

I've got a GPE One and I just want it rooted without a custom recovery so that I can still get OTA updates. Is this possible?

On hboot 1.44 it was, but you're likely on a higher version already, so what you can do is flash recovery, root, and reflash stock recovery. That way you'll still get OTAs once you relock your bootloader (assuming that you're s-on, otherwise no need to relock)

you can flash your stock recovery the same way you flash a custom recovery. The only thing you need is to find the stock recovery you need. Check what is your main-ver # and download the ruu.zip or ota.zip that match your main-ver and extract the zip to find the recovery.zip file. Then move it to your adb/fastboot folder and open a cmd prompt from that folder.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.zip
fastboot reboot
you can also copy/paste the output of this command:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
minus EMEI and SN and maybe we'll be able to link you the stock recovery you'll need to flash after you have rooted your device.

boot.img is the kernel, not the system.
have you tried the fastboot flash command with a valid boot.img (not revcovery)?
or if you were trying to flash recovery and not boot.img have you tried again using the right command?
sounds like it should be easier to fix than go back to stock with ruu....
Surely flashing a Rom in recovery would fix that?

im s-on so im not sure if that's gonna make any difference
and my biggest problem is the signature verification (in recovery and boot-loader )
You cab disable signature verification in cwm. And as you are s on you can only flash newer versions or RUU not old ones. Flashing a Rom any Rom would flash the boot image and should be all good

The ruu is probably encrypted, so you can't open it. Find someone with the same firmware and ask them to make a backup of their boot partition, you can then flash the boot image backup in fastboot.
