Hi -
Thanks for any help in advance. I'm a bit of a rookie round here, I've rooted and flashed my past 3 HTC phones but taken the easy route every time.
But today, I've used ADB commands to flash the revone binary and unlock and get s-off on my HTC one m7. It took me several tries, but it eventually worked (or at least said successful). So my HBOOT 1.44 says UNLOCKED & S-OFF.
So onto the next step. fastboot flash recovery recoverytwrp.img
...
Another success!
So, I reboot into bootloader and prompt recovery boot like I'm about to get HAM on twrp and flash some superuser files. It shows me a developer screen full of red print saying that it's booting into recovery, and then after a while, it just rebooted back into system.
It does this every time. I reflashed the image, I flashed the stock image, I tried the hansoon tool. each time I can't actually get into the recovery.
So this is where I'm stuck. Why can't I get anywhere with this?

This.
Just do evrything again until you finish installing custom recoveries. Before rebooting, erase the cache with "fastboot erase cache"

Gave that all a shot all over again. Still can't boot into recovery
Is fast boot off?
Use the original cable your One came with, go into bootloader power/vol - then open a cmd window
Now connect the One with your computer, don't use a USB 3.0 connection, and a different one then before.
In bootloader choose fastboot, that should change to fastboot USB
In cmd window point to your fastboot directory where you also copied the recovery to, I would try CWM touch for now.
Type cd c:\fastboot (or what your toolfolder is called)
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
That installs the recovery, you can select it in bootloader abd boot into it.

You mean the fastboot option under Power Settings is unticked when booted up normally?

Did you try various recovery (versions) ? May be , you just have corrupted recovery image.

Try, remaining unlocked, go back to s-on (you can always take s-off again) and check your recovery (enter and flashing) under s-on.

Is that something I can do with the revone binary? To be honest, I have no idea how to turn security back on. I can relock it and that may be about it.
I stumbled upon another thread, shares a common theme as my issue, but with a different twist. Using a superboot.img as a rooting method instead of flashing it via recovery. It somewhere says that the boot.img needs to be flashed as well, however I can't find a decent boot.img to flash. The superboot tool seems like unproven territory right now.
Here's the other thread, I've leafed through it and found no determinable answer for my particular issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39852757#post39852757
Do not apply revone to return s-on!
Use fastboot by "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3".
Be convinced that bootloader is unlocked before return to s-on.
Regarding your issue: I suspect that a certain code in HBOOT tries to install TAMPERED flag when sees custom recovery, but isn't able to do it correctly because s-off (bypassing security) and a certain mistake or exception conducts to reset phone.

Right now I've done all the above, I've got a *** TAMPERED *** and ***UNLOCKED*** and S-ON
I've been through 4 boots, 2 of them attempts to get to recovery. Now instead of recovery rebooting into system, it just shuts off now.
Where do you think I go from here?
I've just skimmed through the posts and didn't see this mentioned
If you are still able to boot into the system, download either GooManager (for TWRP) or RomManager (for CWM) and use either of those apps to install recovery. Once done, you can use the app to boot into recovery instead of the fancy ADB commands or button presses.

So both that method through ADB shell and GooManager require root. Every rooting method requires recovery, so I don't have perm root yet.
You quoted me, but answered not to me.
Read a post #26 from my link above
Possible Solution
Hello I have the same problem and the solution was:
1. Settings - Energy- Fastboot uncheked
2. Flash Recovery usin one all-in-one-kit
3. Erase Cache 3 times
4. Unplug to PC, and load into system normal
5. Turn off phone - via stock menu NOT FORCE TO OFF pressing the off button
6. Wait 2 minutes, and boot into HBOOT - Power + Volume(-) pressing
7. Choose recovery
Ready.. May these work for you! Let me know
Hi Everyone,
Don't know what I did wrong but at the moment i stucked with a bootloop. I was trying to flash a 4.4 Rom on a Cyanogenmod 4.2.2
Now I can enter in bootloader but not into the recovery. When I try to boot into recovery it simply tries to boot the phone.
Bootloader i unlocked (it says tampered) but S-ON.
Tried to fastboot the recovery of clockworkmod but still can't enter in it.
How I can restore the phone to its original factory image?
Thnaks
It's seems you are not the only one.
Enter bootloader and choose fastboot.
Then run a command prompt in your PC, cd to the fastboot folder and write fastboot flash recovery filename.img
I suggest you download and flash twrp 2.6.3.0
Then check if the recovery has been installed successfully.If yes, go into recovery and type in the command prompt in your PC the following:
Adb push filename.Rom /data/media/0
Filename.zip stands for the Rom you wanna flash. After its done you can flash that file with twrp

thanks guys,
as i said i already tried to flash the recovery with the fastboot flash command.
I tried CMW and TWRP... but still can't enter into the recovery.
I have to try the erase cache command....
will let you know!
Did you find a solution? I am in the same boat and it is actually quite annoying.

Sure! H-boot 1.54, s -On, I have tried both locked and unlocked (via fasboot oem lock and unlock). I originally tried CWM touch, then gave TWRP a try. No luck booting to either. I get success on the cmd with loading, but cannot get it into recovery. I select recovery from the fastboot menu and the phone vibrates, then a second later "Google" appears.
Version of recovery:
CWM 6.0.3.1 and and 6.0.4.3
TWRP: 2.6.6.3 m7

Here are a couple of options:
Try TWRP 2.6.3.3
Connect your PC to the phone while the phone is in Recovery (Black screen) then type: adb reboot recovery
Try a different computer or Linux
Save your files off of the phone;
-- Lock the bootloader
-- Flash stock firmware
-- Enter stock recovery and perform a factory reset
-- Reboot phone a couple of times
-- Unlock bootloader
-- Flash TWRP

Gremlins?? Sometimes the programs don't clean up after themselves and they leave corrupted files/bits. That is why you want to erase cache to make it clean. Glad you are back up!!!

The same command I was trying to execute, but is not working, fastboot doesnot go past writing 'recovery'... step, I waited for almost 1 hour to see if the command completes, but it never completes.

You need to restore your laf partition. I personally don't have experience doing this, but it looks like there are a couple threads detailing how to do it in fastboot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477595
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2779007
Instead of using the files included in those threads, downloaded the 39A bootstack zip from the resource thread and extract out the relevant files needed
Thanks for the reply.
I tried all of the following fastboot commands, using the 39a bootstack (ofc, one by one, waited for almost 15-20 min before cancelling the command):
Code:
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash laf laf.img
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -w
All the above commands stop at writing "****" ... section.
Basically the problem is that, the partitions are not getting modified by the fastboot in any way, something like a locked bootloader preventing fastboot from writing anything to the partitions.
I flashed the Android Wear 2.0 OTA update and now the watch won't boot. I get the "Device Software Can't Be Checked For Corruption" error and it's telling me to go to g.com/ABH.
It won't go into recovery mode, but will go into fastboot mode. I grabbed the stock images from here, and flashed the stock boot, system, and recovery imgs, but the error persists.

Am I screwed? Or is there something I could do to recover?
Thanks.
Did you unlock the bootloader?

Wait for about 10 seconds when the warning appears. The watch will continue it's boot after 10 secs.

I thought I had initially. I hadn't turned the watch on for a while, but decided to get it set up yesterday when I saw news of the 2.0 update hit. It originally had the first firmware on it and wouldn't update to 2.0 (adb would fail to find the watch).
So, I flashed MWF76 from the link in my earlier post. And that worked properly -- the watch booted normally, set up the apps, the right build number was showing, etc.
When that was done I tried to flash the 2.0 update again. And this time the watch was being recognized properly with adb. The flash procedure seemed to go without a hitch, but I got the g.co/ABH error on first boot.
And if you let the watch sit for 10 seconds, it only boots into Fastboot mode. You can't enter recovery. If you try to enter recovery with the vol-down+power button combo, you see recovery for a split second and then it goes right to fastboot.
At the moment it appears the bootloader is locked again.
Still experimenting. Hoping someone with more knowledge may be able to help.
Fastboot oem unlock reports that the bootloader is already unlocked.
Tried flashing all of the IMGs in MFW76 and these flash successfully:
boot
system
recovery
modem
asusfw
But when trying to flash these, the flash fails because it says the bootloader is locked. Trying fastboot oem unlock again reports the bootloader is unlocked, but still can not flash these...
devinfo
factory
misc
modemst1
modemst2
oem
splash
Tried fastboot flashing unlock_critical, and the watch shows part of a message, but I can't see if there's anything to do on...pressing the top or bottom buttons changes the color of the bg.
Go into bootloader, unlock bl, flash everything and then reboot back into bootloader and lock it.

Thanks for the help -- tried this and still no luck.
Since I can't get into recovery mode and use adb to try reflashing 2.0, would it be possible to create a flashable .ZIP file from the 2.0 update that can be flashed from Fastboot mode?

Here is the OTA flashable android wear 2.0 zip file
which you can flash in FASTBOOT.

That's the same file that's been shared repeatedly; it requires flashing in recovery mode using adb. If you try to flash this with fastboot, you get an error that says "update package xxx.zip has no andriod-info.txt"

Your right, this file is not fastboot compatible. (my error)
This is what I used and flashed when I upgraded to v2.0 Android Wear.
To flash this you need to use ADB SIDELOAD filename.zip.
OR if you can boot into twrp you can install it from there too.
Good luck, have a great day!

That's exactly what I had done initially and what ultimately bricked the watched. Can't boot into any recovery, unfortunately. Just boots directly to Fastboot mode.

I'd try to get the watch running 1.5 first via fastboot.
See my post in the other thread linked here, specifically my edits.
I did boot, recovery, then system, and did "fastboot format userdata" instead of "fastboot erase userdata"
I have the same issue. Zenwatch 3 just boots to Fastboot Mode after manual update to Android Wear 2.0 . I can`t enter recovery mode and try to reflash it.
Do you have any ideas, what should I do?

You need to flash stock kernel in fastboot before you can do anything else.
( FASTBOOT FLASH BOOT BOOT.IMG )
Here is the the link to the stock Android Wear 1.5 boot.img
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dudeyq9rjsrag2i/boot.img?dl=0
(The boot.img is the kernel)
If worse comes to worse, you need to flash full android wear stock 1.5 firmware to get your watch working.
Here are the full instructions how to go back to go back to stock android wear v1.5 firmware.
This link also contains the download link for the full android wear original stock v1.5 firmware:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenwatch-3/how-to/guide-how-to-revert-to-android-wear-1-5-t3635196
First simply try to flash the boot.img in fastboot and reboot the watch before flashing the stock 1.5 firmware.

Thank you for your reply, but it doesn`t help!
I have got the same issue as the topicstarter had. Flashing to the STOCK firmware doesn`t do anything. It stills shows Getting g.co/ABH Error on Boot and after 10 seconds it goes to Fastboot mode.

Your bootkoader is unlocked...
After using fastboot before reboot you need to lock the bootloadet by using.the command below.
FASTBOOT OEM LOCK
Then you can boot successfully ..
The error message you saw is normal if you have not locked your bootloader.
Good luck.. Have a great day.

Sorry but this doesn`t help.
My watches are booting only in Fastboot mode.
So i do next steps:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot format userdata
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot
After reboot, watches still boots straight in Fastboot mode.
Maybe I should flash something from AW 2.0 to repair the watch ?

You must have flashed the wrong boot.img (which is the kernel)
Make 100% sure that you are flashing the correct kernel and
don't issue the command "fastboot format userdata".
All you need is:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
then oem lock bootloader
What was the exact filename of the ziip file
which had the 3 IMG files in it?
Here is the link for the zip file which contains the correct IMG files in it:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tz9bg5fggpfn2q6/swift_partition_dump_part1_MWG68.zip?dl=1
unlock bootloader, flash the three img files, lock bootloader
and issue this fastboot command: " fastboot reboot "
Don't flash anything else and don't format anything...
Good luck, have a great day!
Misterjunky, thank you for your replies!
