Hello.
I was in the process of upgrading my HTC One from 4.2 and successfully unlocked the bootloader. But thereafter my phone just constantly reboots. It shows the HTC splash screen for about 10 seconds and the reboots again.
I am able to go into the fastboot screen (see screen shot). But when I select Recovery, the phone gors to the next screen - displays "Entering Recovery" - and nothing else happens thereafter.
Can anyone please help? Have looked at other such questions and tried but nothing has helped.
Thanks

I'm not sure you did ever flash a custom recovery!
1. Put your phone in fastboot from the bootloader meny. You already did this while rooting, so you got it already!
2. In your "SDK-tools" folder that you used while unlocking the device, put [nameofyourrecovery].img I recommend you to install TWRP 2.6.3.3, as it is the best one for flashing kitkat and lets you do this if you wish I cannot give you a link as I am a new member, but search google for TWRP 2.6.3.3 and you will find it. Make sure it is .img and not .zip!
3. While in fastboot, open a command prompt in the ADB folder.
4. To flash your custom recovery, type
fastboot flash recovery [nameofyourrecovery].img

Does not help. Used 2.6.3.3, the flash process went fine, then Recovery displays "Entering Recovery" - and then again bot loop.

You have an M7CDWG, twrp is for M7_U & M7_UL models, if i'm not mistaken. Start googling for M7CDWG, it's a completely different phone than the U / UL phones.
and you need to "fastboot erase cache" after flashing recovery

Not really, don't know much about your model. You'll need to find a ROM compatible with your device; if it doesnt specifically say it's for your device, then most likely it isn't!!
I think there's a Maximus HD ROM for your version, but i have no idea where.
Did you..
Aside from flashing a recovery and rooting your phone, did you make any other modifications or flash any other partitions?
If no, then wipe Dalvek cache from TWRP. Boot into TWRP and select Wipe. Select advanced. Select Dalvek and Cache. Wipe power down. then power on and see if it will boot.

i had a similar problem last week with a One, a friend bricked his One by flashing "???" Dont know exactly whar he has done.
The phone had boot loops all the time.
my solution was:
- connecting the phone with the usb cable to my pc.
- started the phone into fastboot usb mode
- started cmd at my notebook
- change to the directory which contains adb and fastboot
- execute: fastboot erase cache
- restarted the phone
the phone starts normally into ARHD 40.3
perhaps it works ...

Working with flyhalfs touch (CWM) version, everything is fine.
After flashing the recovery u should fastboot erase cache.
If u got no rom on SD u should connect an OTG before booting into recovery and flash zip from external sd.

Mine still not having it it's saying tampered and unlocked any ideas
Flash this
Then flash it from cmd with
Code:
fastboot flash recovery CWM_Touch_6.0.2.8_M7.img
Code:
fastboot erase cache
If there are still problems, rename CWM_Touch_6.0.2.8_M7.img to "recovery.img" and use the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

When you flash the recovery.img, was it successful and did you wipe the cache afterward?
Are you able to enter the bootloader then select Recovery, does it try to enter recovery then reboots?

Trys to go into recovery but just restarts i can't get into recovery at all
I get the screen saying unlocked and fast boot and so on you know the one with all the coloured text but won't do anything else
Try flashing a different recovery to the one you have installed.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
I seem to be having the exact same problem. Really starting to annoy me, I need to root my phone already haha!
Did you end up getting it to work?
Cheers!
same problem here....tried alle the recommended recoveries, but none worked for me.
When i flashed recovery it says all succeded, then i try to get into recovery, but it still reboots, htc logo appears, than for about 4-5 seconds the screen stays black and then there comes the t-mobile carrier logo and boot sound :/

according to the TWRP thread, it doesn't seem to be supported yet
I've got the same problem with the non working recovery. I now tried the CWM Touch AND Classic Recovery v6.0.3.0.
I tried to flash them with the All in One Tool by Hasoon 2000 and also manually with CMD commands (fastboot flash recovery & afterwards fastboot erase cache). It always said flash successful, but it's not able to boot into recovery.
I've got a Swiss HTC One Branded by Swisscom (which seems to use a vodafone CID: VODAP110).
My Build Number is 1.28.161.7 CL162357 release-keys
may that cause the problem?
I somehow got it to work. I didn't make any changes (that I can remember) but I tried it the next day again, booting into recovery with the HTC One (M7) All-In-One Toolkit V1.0, and it just worked!
Hopefully you guys can get it to work somehow too!
HA! I finally got it.
Just don't try to flash recovery as recovery, flash it as a boot img. CWM touch and TWRP was NOT working for me, but normal CWM does.
But it seems to be some issues with ADB, so please wait until i got my Guide ready

just to be sure:
you used "fastboot flash boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.0-m7.img" and it worked?
I don't want to mess up my phone, because I can't backup my current boot.img...
I unlocked the bootloader on my HTC One and successfully flashed CWM recovery; however, when I try to boot into recovery the HTC splash screen comes up with "Entering Recovery" for a few seconds (as it should), then the screen goes black for a second and it boots into the ROM like normal without going into Recovery.
I've seen that the general fix for this is to clear the dalvik-cache, but I can't do that without root permission, and I can't install the superuser to get root without being able to boot into the Recovery.
I have developer options enabled with USB Debugging, Fastboot is turned OFF.
I have flashed to plain CWM, touch CWM, and TWRP, all with the same results.
fastboot erase cache had no effect

are you flashing recovery with adb-fastboot, what computer os are you using
are you usung the correct recovery image, for the sprint m7wls, (fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7wls)
use goo manager to flash the recovery and see
or you can use the all in one tool in the dev section

I am using the "fastboot flash recovery" command on Windows 7 64-bit (I have also tried on 32-bit).
You were right about the recovery file, I was using openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7.img, not m7wls. So for anyone who finds this thread later make sure it's the right recovery file for your build and carrier (not just phone model).
Hello. I recently got an HTC One from CSpire. I had no trouble unlocking the bootloader. When I try to go into a custom recovery so that I can root, I get the message "Entering Recovery...". However, this screen only lasts a few seconds then my phone boots up like normal, completely skipping the recovery. I've tried multiple versions of TWRP and CWM. Any ideas? I'm not that experienced with android devices. I haven't been able to root because of the recovery issue I am having. Please help!

what instructions are you using to flash the recovery ?
do you have the all in one kit ?
Reboot on fastboot with Power volume down.
Once you are in fastboot you enter the following command:
fastboot erase chache
After this you should be able to reboot in recovery without any problem
Good luck

Clearing the cache didnt work. I just tried again using TWRP 2.5.0.0. I know its not the latest, but the latest doesn't work either.
Also sometimes when I try to go into recovery, my device freezes on the "Entering Recovery..." screen.

I've tried a couple different all in ones. None of them work. And I can push the recovery to the phone no problem. Its when I actually try to go into Recovery from the boot menu that I have this issue.

Yes. Multiple times. I've done everything I can find on the web so far. It's almost like the recovery isn't sticking (Not sure if thats possible.) Maybe I need to try and get S-Off?
SOLVED!! I had to use the Sprint Version of TWRP. It worked the first try!

Just popping in right quick, but your command is wrong.
It should be "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (no ") The 2nd recovery in that string is going to be the name of your recovery. If it is twrp.img, then use that. If it is Mondaysux, then it'll be mondaysux.img.

What version of TWRP are you using?
I'm assuming you're on OOS 4.0+ and are still encrypted? If so, use the latest unreleased official version.

I tried using an older version first as that was the one that the guide linked me to but after it didn't work I found that version you linked myself and tried it but I'm getting the same result
Also, the command to reboot to recovery is "fastboot reboot recovery"
Putting boot into anything is making the fastboot drivers think you are trying to flash a kernel (boot.img)
Edit: Also what root version (specifically) did you use?
Try using fastboot to wipe the recovery partition before flashing twrp again.
The commands are:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery [twrp file name].img
Then reboot to recovery

Why not use the volume keys from bootloader to go to recovery
And using system in f2fs format twrp takes time to reach main menu
So I suggest after flashing latest recovery as suggested by other members wait for 5 to 7 minutes

How long are you waiting while on the splash screen and how much of the phone's internal storage have you used? As mentioned above, TWRP will take longer to boot while you use the phone's default f2fs storage system. The more space you use on the phone, the longer it takes to boot.

Hello,
I am new to this forum, but have done a bit of unlocking and installing custom roms on other phones (mostly OPO's, both my old one and friends). But this new OP 3T I just got is giving me some troubles I have not encountered before. I would LOVE to put this into the correct forum, but of course with my being new to this forum...rules...
I am following the standard install over on the TWRP site and on the OP3T, the install finishes and then I reboot and I get a screen that says:
"Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. If you don't want to see this screen, please lock your device by "fastboot oem lock" an erase userdata..."
I have never seen this before. Can someone give me a idea what could be going on here? Do I need to re-lock it? What did OP do to their phones!!?!
Oh and also, I am planning on installing LineageOS. Any reason I shouldn't?
Thanks!

Is nothing wrong with your device ..What you get is a warning that your bootloader is unlocked ...
You gonna get this every time you want to boot to your ROM or to twrp....
You can proceed further to install any ROM that you like...
I think you can find a guide on XDA forums to disable this warning if you want...

Ok I tried that and a new problem came up!! When I try to reboot into recovery, I do not get TWRP, but the stock recovery that was there originally! Unless they have completely changed the look of TWRP. I will try to upload a picture of it if that helps.
You can't get rid of the bootloader-unlocked warning without re-locking your bootloader, which you really should not do while you have a custom recovery installed.
Are you sure you've flashed TWRP and not just booted it it from a local file on your computer? Try using fastboot to wipe recovery first before flashing TWRP.

Right on that page (last paragraph of fastboot install method), you will see:
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.
I had a heck of a time with this myself (even reading the above). Even rebooting (after flash TWRP) to recovery (power+vol down), the TWRP install would still not "stick". Had to try multiple times. I also rooted with SuperSU 2.79 at some point in that process, which may or may not have helped TWRP to finally "stick".

Flash TWRP, reboot, press the volume down key before the phone boots, go into recovery, you should see TWRP flash screen, that usually works but I'm glad you got it going
