you can use adb to push a rom file to your phone.

download 2.6.3.3 from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
make sure MD5 is correct, otherwise it's a bad download
(don't use a download manager on that site, it will fail)
then in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img

I understood that I need to download twrp from the link you have shared but as i have told before that my usb connection is not shown on my pc when I connect my htc one to it how should a install the downloaded twrp on my phone without it being connected.
Can you be more specific about what I need to do because I am new to this process

get yourself ADB FASTBOOT from HERE, if you have no adb folder
get latest HTC Drivers from HERE, uninstall HTC SYNC and it's drivers and install it then restart your PC
then follow the earlier instructions

So basically the only thing working in fastboot
somehow i have managed to wipe everything off of my device so there is no rom installed what so ever...which means i am unable to turn on usb debugging to get adb working. I am also on 1.31 so the RUU method will not work. i am able to flash whatever recovery or Superuser i wish and root/unroot as i please.
the only solution i can think of would be to flash a signed stock zip using "fastboot update signedstock.zip" but the ones i found here -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368907 dont seem to work. i get errors like no "boot.img" or "does not contain android-info.txt"
any suggestions?

just a fyi you can use fastboot to flash a rom if you put it in the same folder as the platform tools folder of your sdk, All roms have a android-info.txt file that's how android knows how to flash what to the particular partition.
you can flash any zip file from fastboot as long as it has the android-info file
fastboot flash zip nameofzip.zip

Hello to all,
I tried to install TWRP on a bootloader unlocked stock HTC one, HBoot 1.44, S-On, CWS_001, version 1.26.502.10
and it just won't let me install TWRP. I keep trying to install and it keeps not letting me go into recovery and coming back to the OS.
Just wanted to backup my system before installing the latest 4.3 RUU (somewhat I don't get the OTA - living outside the US doesn't show that I have any update for the OS, and I don't want to loose all my data)
Any thoughts?

I've done this in addition to trying via emulator, flash app and Goo Manager and I cannot get TWRP to flash. I'm unlocked, S-off and Rooted Hboot 1.55 Sprint. Can anyone please help me? Trying to find what the problem could be. I backed up as a precaution with Titanium but.. I really want TWRP. I am not a total NOOB but I'm certainly only good at following instructions and I'm not under the complete understanding to figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

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.

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.

Hey there!
I have a really big problem!
in the beginning, i installed an old version of TWMP recovery, but when i wanted to install a new rom i couldn't and i read that you have to install a new version of the recovery so i did. After that i had two problems, the first one is that i have two recoveries in my device and don't ask me how cuz i don't know! But when i reboot my device it opens the old version of the recovery and when i reboot the recovery it opens the new one!!!
The main problem is that my laptop can't recognized my device any more but in the fastboot mode, so when i want to sideload any rom it says no device found.
I downloaded the last htc driver but nothing changed! HELP ME PLEAS.

First of all, very strange regarding recovery, so download twrp 2.6.3.3 then
fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then........
Try updating your adb and fastboot, you can only sideload or push a Rom to your phone using adb commands with the phone in recovery

2.6.3.3 is the most reliable and recommended version, as for the error, check the md5 and file size of the file you downloaded, sounds like a bad or incomplete download to me.

Thank you a lot man for your help! I really appreciate it. But I figure out the problem.
The problem was that I tried to install a new room via an old recovery, so I sideloaded an old version of CM and when it worked I put the new ROM via my computer and flashed the new recovery version "still not found by my pc" but I all ready have the new ROM in the sdcard!

No, Android 6.0.2 doesn't exist yet, probably next year :laugh:
If you are speaking about 5.0.2 then its the same process as before. Flash a custom recovery then flash the latest supersu zip from recovery

twrp 2.8.5.0.
Code:
any chance you know a nice guide for this, since im quite new at this :)
Download and install minimal adb and fastboot
Download and install latest HTC drivers
Unlock the bootloader if its not already done. Instructions here (this process will wipe everything on your phone, backup personal data first if needed)
download twrp 2.8.5.0 and save in the same folder where you have adb and fastboot on your computer
boot your phone in bootloader mode/fastboot usb
open a minmal adb command prompt, type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.5.0-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then boot in recovery mode (twrp)
with your phone in twrp main menu, you should see you phone storage mounted on your PC: My computer --> One.
Download latest supersu.zip and save it at the root of your phone storage
in twrp select 'install" browse /sdcard folder to find supersu.zip (should be at the bottom of the list.
select it and swipe to install
reboot phone, it snow rooted.
it worked like a charm
ty very much.. really appreciate it
