[Q] No recovery working for HTC one - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have the International HTC One M7, and whenever i flash any recovery except for PhilZ it says successful on fastboot but when i go into recovery from bootloader it shows entering recovery... at top then the screen goes black for 2 seconds and then gets stuck at entering recovery indefinately. I cant use PhilZ mainly due to i keep getting errors (status 0) whenever i flash a rom. Any help ?
Thanks

you have to do all the commands
First get TWRP 2.6.3.3
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
If you have a Sprint or Verizon phone you need their custom recovery version

Thanks

What is it in TWRP 2.6.3.3 that not doing what you want?
Why are you changing recovery 3 times in the same day ?

Pretty strange ...your the first to have a problem with 2.6.3.3 flashing any of the current roms.
Whats the error you get when flashing 2.7.1.1 recovery ?

I have the same problem, I can only flash up to TWRP 2.6.3.3 older versions work, but other new versions dont work it keeps saying "entering recovery"... If try to flash Pliz some versions works other versions keep saying entering recovery, I need install multirom but cant install it or another version of TWRP up to 2.6.3.3
I try erasing cache from fastboot but it dont work, my hboot is 1.57 with s-off and unlocked

The same with me except for S-on and flashing 2.7.1.1 (or ANY other recovery) gives me the entering recovery words at the top in a bootloop until i am forced to fastboot 2.6.3.3 with the method above.

It depends on the ARHD version.
As far as i know you can flash the v31.6 with cwm. Or am i wrong?
@Karlzzzon: Which version do you want to flash? 31.6, 53 or 60?
You need to do
fastboot erase cache
That will allow you to get into recovery.

correct Arhd versions with android 4.4+ require twrp 2.6.3.3 not arhd 31.6
Same issue...
Hi guys,
I stupidly did exactly the same mistake as @Karlzzzon... I'm currently stuck with the HTC logo and have no access to the recovery.
I understood from your previous answers that I should have flashed with TWRP 2.6.3.3, which I'd like to do now. But how am I supposed to do that considering that I can't get to the recovery ?
Thanks in advance for your answers !

even if its possible to flash a recovery.zip directly from recovery, the usual way to flash it is from fastboot using a recovery.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img
fastboot erase cache
assuming your phone is a M7_UL or M7_U:
download twrp 2.6.3.3 from here (make sure MD5 match 72067aefb69541d40e8420d7aa46408d) and save it to your adb folder then:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
your rom.zip should still be there so just install it again
if not
adb push it to your /sdcard

Corrupted TWRP, red triangle when entering recovery

So I'm having a hard time here LOL.
I come from a soft brick and after some issues I got my m7_ul back to stock, which is great as it is alive again Now I want to flash a decent ROM, I have thought about ViperOne. However my TWRP 2.7.1.1 seems corrupted, I can't even enter it and I have had a couple of scary moments as the phone won't boot to system. Finally pressing the power button for like 30 seconds did the job and it booted to system. Stock ROM sucks but it is better than a brick haha.
My phone is international m7_ul, my HBOOT is 1.44 and I have Tampered and Unlocked labels, not sure what should I do exactly. Just want the basic strategy to get my custom ROM running and later on I will add a soundmod but that should be easier.

If you returned to stock you have re flash custom recovery

Suggest re-download, the re-flash TWRP, flash in fastboot fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery.img> and then fastboot erase cache, this should allow you to enter recovery.
wow that was fast thanks, problem solved, I'm now running TWRP 2.6.3.4
so now I just place the desired ROM flash it, wipe dalvik and cache, and voila, right? will try to find if viperone is compatible with m7ul, I had a problem with ARHD 71.1

Download the multirom recovery and the clean TWRP and place in your adb/fastboot folder.
Open a command window in your adb/fastboot folder
Boot into bootloader/FASTBOOT USB
Type the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.2-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_multirom_m7_20140926.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Try a different USB cable.

You may have to start over.
Copy all of your personal items off of the phone
Flash stock recovery
Boot into recovery and perform factory reset
Flash multi-rom recovery
Flash custom kernel
sorry, but it doesn't work .... just says "entering recovery..."

Does it say "entering recovery" on the stock or custom recovery?
Have you changed:
<> cables?
<> USB Ports?
<> Computer?
First try stock firmware with stock recovery & kernel
If fails, stock RUU for your phone

Are you using
Code:

after you flash the new recovery?
Edit :- never mind I see now majmoz already instructed you to erase cache.
Flashing a firmware.zip should get you back to stock recovery.

When you flashed the stock firmware (unmodified) did you boot into recovery and do a factory reset?
After factory reset did you reboot into recovery after it so that the wipe will take?
If flashing a pure stock firmware didn't work then you next option would be to try the RUU for your phone.

Can you try flash recovery again with fastboot erase cache. It doesn't matter if it does not take, but please post the full output from your command window. So I can see exactly what you get. Thanks

[Q] No Recoveries Working

I recently got an HTC One M7(ul) and have been trying to install a custom recovery to install KitKat or Lollipop. So far the only recovery that has worked has been Philz recovery and even then only up to version 6.25.0(All versions after that were 'unified' but don't work). All recoveries appear to install correctly in Fastboot but when booting recovery it hangs on the 'Entering Recovery' screen, flashes a black screen once and returns to 'Entering 'Recovery'. Is this a known problem or am I doing something really weird?

Are you flashing recovery with the correct procedure?
Code:

Then select recovery from the bootloader menu it should load fine

Its not the first time I came across this problem here on xda. 2.6.3.3 has always been the most Stable and reliable version. And for some reason works even with this problem.
2.6.3.3 should work fine with kitkat roms but I'm not sure about lollipop. Unfortunately this Is the only recovery that works in this situation and I'm not sure what causes this issue.
The weird thing is in most cases the recovery actually loads normally but the screen stays stuck on the "Entering recovery" screen. While it's stuck like that you can type "adb devices" it should give the normal output showing the device is in fact in recovery. But for now it means your kinda stuck with 2.6.3.3.

[Q] Help! im screwed...

Hi guys i got an htc one in placw of my samsung grand
I managed to unlock the bootloader using cmd and tried flashing a recovery. However after the flash when i try booting into recovery mode from bootloader, it first gives the entering recovery screen but then screen blacks out and then it reboots as normal.
Now htc just got a lollipop update and i want to update, but when it enters recovery, it blacks out and then reboots as normal due to the fail recovery
Before i tried flashing each and every reocvery and the same happened... Then i just left it at a version of cwm ( didnt work also) .
Now shall i flash stock recovery? What if that dosent work? Is there any way to do it without a pc or any other computer?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I tried RUU, turns out theres no file for my cid (HTC_039).
I also tried alternate methods, turns out i cant use Guru reset as i need functioning recovery, and i have S-ON so no Nand.

Did you use the correct version of the recovery you flashed? I mean are you sure it wasn't a Sprint or Verizon recovery?
Secondly did you fastboot erase cache after flashing recovery?. This is the no.1 reason for recovery bootloop. Flashing recovery should be done like so.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery "name-of-recovery".img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then select recovery from the bootloader for the first time load.

Yes there is one. 7.19.980.5 posted in the general section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944
see post #2.
If your phone is already on a 6.xx.980.x or 7.xx.980.x firmware you can flash it.

To find your firmware version it's best to use command
Code:
fastboot getvar all
this will show you a list of your devices version information.
You can post the list here if you need help but please remove your imei and serial number before posting for your own security.
There are 3 models of HTC One.
Sprint = m7_wls Downloads here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7wls
Verizion = m7_vzw Downloads here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7vzw
International = m7_ul or m7_u Downloads here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
There are also more model numbers for dual sim variants.
You must have the correct version of recovery depending on your model. The getvar info would be very helpful for me to make a recommendation :good:
