Hi.
I was trying to flash LiquidSmooth ROM, installed TWRP recovery, formatted /data and /cache to F2FS and installed the rom, an custom kernel by mourta and PA Gapps.
The phone stucked in LiquidSmooth bootlogo. I tried to boot in recovery unsuccessfully (my Vol - key is kinda broken), the command adb reboot recovery didn't work.
After many tries, I could flash the LG Stock rom, the Kdz program didn't finish the process and the phone rebooted, don't know why.
Tried many other times to flash.
To sum up, I could flash the original firmware, the phone is booting up normally and aparently is working properly, the problem is: I still can't go to recovery to restore my old rom. (The adb reboot recovery comand just reboot the phone). So, I can't root it or flash another custom recovery.
I wish you guys can help me. Sorry if I written something wrong or if the text is too long, I haven't finished my English course yet.
Which stock rom have you flashed? I've tried to use fastboot on a V10 rom couple of weeks ago and I coudn't do it. I think that it works just with V20 roms.

I'm using now V20A_00_4.1.2.EURO.
I could acess the recovery (original) but adb sideload doesn't work. It says: "Error: more than one device and emulator."
About fastboot, I've already tried to flash the recovery using this, but it just keep with one message, I guess is waiting phone, or something like that.

I didn't know that error more than one device and emulator. I can't help you on this error.
About Fastboot still waiting phone, that is phone driver's problem. Try to install P880 fastboot drivers and try again.

I figued out about the error: "Error: more than one device and emulator."
It's an incompatibility with Bluestacks, after close it, it works, but I had to turn off the phone and couldn't flash.
And about fastboot, I could acess this too (Didn't knew that I needed to be on Bootloader mode). But I can't flash the recovery, it says that my bootloader is locked (using fastboot reboot bootloader).
It isn't, or at least wasn't before it all happen. Using ADB command to reboot in bootloader mode (adb reboot oem-unlock I guess), I can flash the .img of clockwork mod and TWRP without error messages, but I still can't boot into it by adb reboot recovery.
Thanks for trying. Today I could acess Android original recovery by hardware keys and install another recovery and ROM.

I had a mostly-stock Nexus 7 running 4.1.1 - unlocked, rooted, TWRP installed, but no major /system changes. When the update came in, I figured "what the heck, I'll just see if it applies - worst case I lose root and my recovery console, but it's a nexus, it's easy to get those back". I applied the update, and it worked! It applied and rebooted, worked fine - but it did lose root and recovery as I expected.
So I tried to get recovery back. It won't come back. Here are the ways I tried:
Hold down VolUp+VolDown+Power to get to fastboot mode. Ran
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
(using a number of different copies of both clockwork and TWRP recovery). Each time, the screen went black, google logo came up, but then it booted to AndroidOS
Tried to do
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
The flash seemed to look like it did fine, but when I selected "Boot Recovery", it didn't. It booted Android OS
I can get into STOCK recovery using the normal method of selecting it from the menu just fine.
Stock recovery doesn't have ADB running. Fastboot mode doesn't have adb running. Fastboot doesn't have any command for rebooting into recovery apart from the method I mentioned (fastboot boot recovery.img). Booting into AndroidOS reflashes the recovery console with the stock console (I tried to race it running adb reboot recovery, but lost).
I tore my hair out for hours. Nothing I tried would let me boot into a custom recovery. I eventually backed everything up as best as I could using adb (Since luckily Android OS still worked), and reflashed to stock everything. PROBLEM IS STILL HERE! Then I decide to revert the bootloader from 3.41 to 3.34. SUCCESS. 3.34 booted to recovery without any problems at all.
Any idea what the heck is going on here? Anybody else seen this? All the threads I've seen with people having problems booting into recovery end with somebody suggesting "Just get app xyz that will reboot into recovery" - but that is NOT an option if A). you cannot get it to boot or B). you are not rooted/are running stock, because you can't be in AndroidOS and still have the custom recovery flashed UNTIL you are able to get into recovery to actually fix it.
Here's a video of me trying to flash recovery, since nobody will believe me that it doesn't work. Turn off the audio, the bell noise is obnoxious, sorry.

I brought up the same concerns when I did a manual flash to 4.1.2 and went through a mess eventually reverting to 4.1.1, using OTA rootkeeper than updating again because on bootloader 3.41 *NO* custom recoveries successfully boot.
how do you flash the old bootloader? if you don't mind me asking.
I have been on boot loader 3.41 for a few days and no issues with twrp. I have flashed a few things since and all is good? Sorry not sure why its not working for some.

I update to 4.1.2 using CWM, didn't lose root. Then changed back to TWRP 2.2.2.0 with bootloader 3.41, now I just updated to TWRP 2.2.3. Everything went smooth even though I'm android noobie.

Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-3.34-grouper.img
(or whatever the actual filename is). Then you do:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You should at that point see the correct version listed in fastboot

I think the issue comes from going back to stock recovery without a rooted AndroidOS. Either one by itself seems to be fine. If you still have the CWR or TWRP recovery already flashed, 3.41 can boot to that. If you have root in AndroidOS, you can always re-flash recovery from ROM Manager or something, and that will work fine. And you can boot to recovery from Android OS (so long as you have root).
If you have stock recovery and no root, your only option is fastboot. And that fastboot flash and boot commands do not work. They look like they work - but they don't. So if you already HAVE a custom recovery, it probably won't even break it.
If you really want to do a proper test / prove this, go back to stock recovery with 3.41. Turn the tablet off completely. Boot up holding the three buttons and go into recovery to see that it can go into the stock recovery console. Then reboot with the three buttons again (don't boot AndroidOS), and run the fastboot boot command to run a custom recovery. If that works, I'll eat my hat.
(well, really all that means is that the problem isn't occurring on all systems. Doesn't mean it's not happening to me and many others)
The problem might not be that 3.41 can't boot to recovery -it might just be that 3.41 can't FLASH or BOOT a recovery console through fastboot. Many people will never notice that because:
A). They already have a recovery console flashed, so it still works
B). They flash their recovery from ROM Manager, GooManager, or whatever
If you lose root, you no longer have B as an option. If you also lose your recovery console, you can't get root access back without fastboot, so you have to use fastboot.

Not sure you've got it right. At least on my N7. My first try was flashing the update.zip in another thread without updating my ROM at all. Running Paranoid Android (2.1799 then) and TWRP. Not sure when in the mix I updated TWRP though.
Thought it might have been a problem with the update.zip, so downloaded the full update.zip from google and tried installing bootloader*.img from that via fastboot.
No change. Reverted to 3.34 without any playing around with deleting files and all is good.

Found the solution to the the issue (sorta), I too went through all this trouble as you did in your OP.
I did not have to do anything other then straight up flash this version "recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.5.b8147-grouper.img" via fastboot and bam! recovery works. Link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32810167&postcount=228
Problem is with previous versions of 6.0.1.0 (Official) and TWRP 2.3.1
I still prefer TWRP, but hey This is better then the alternative (No recovery at all)
Now we need to figure out what changed between CWM 6.0.1.0 and 6.0.1.5 and get the other guys (TWRP) to fix their **** for us poor saps that seem to be a minority in the Nexus 7 world having this issue.
I would love to know what actually the fix is and why only some have these issues with older versions of CWM and TWRP.
Help please my phone won't go in recovery I am rooted every thing else works fine so I can'tput a Rom on or any mods aaaahhhh
Should be in Q&A
i have the same problem. i am trying to flash v6.0.3.0 now to see if this is the solution

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.

erasing the cache solved the problem. thanks helmut!
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"
LG, Helmut
Still nothing going to unroot and try again what's the best way to root cause the one I used is crap a link would be great thanks

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?

Try flashing a different recovery to the one you have installed.

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 :/

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

Hi
I have a HTC one m7 which went in Boot loop just like that. It was working perfectly some time back., just rebooted and won.t me back now. I had the latest stock OS 4.4 with sense 6 developer edition on it with no tamperig.
I tried many time wipe cache and factory reset. Nothing helped. Finally someone here suggested i do a unlock bootloader -> custom recovery -> custom rom -> s-off -> Load my Stock RUU.
Problem with above is i have done the unlock boot loader and install twrp recovery. But to do a s-off i need my device to read adb commands. As its in boot loop i cannot. Can i flash a custom binary which can run on S-on just to run those commands of firewater to make s-off.
I am stuck here. Please help to revive my device and reach me back to stock 4.4 sense 6 .
Also i came to know as i was on latest version if i flash a older RUU with S-On it can brick my device. True ?
And something else i noticed , i read some 4-5 thread in last two days complaining of HTC going in boot loop just like that.
HTC to blame ? Is this some issue with htc ???
Thanks

as mentioned in the previous post you made, you need to install a custom ROM first in order to boot back into your phone. You have unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP recovery. Now you need to sideload the ROM by adb sideload commands in order to boot the phone up again
Do not run an earlier RUU.zip as you will brick your phone. Firewater needs a working ROM, there are no ways to bypass this
Flash ARHD 81 or Insert Coin or Team Venom Rom
Step 1. Unlock Bootloader and Install TWRP 2.7.x.x recovery. Don't install Twrp v2.8.x.x, wont work with any roms.
Step 2. Boot to Recovery.
Step 3. Mount the system using twrp. I am assuming that you don't have custom rom on your phone storage.
Note that TWRP v2.7.x.x wont mount the phone storage. v2.7 and above always had issues. My recommendation is to install TWRP v2.8 for temporary purposes. Now mount the phone storage copy any rom you downloaded to the system.
Step 4. Assuming that you install TWRP v2.8 to copy rom files to phone storage. Boot to bootloader again and Install TWRP using fastboot. Command: "Fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-m7.img"
Step 5. Reboot to recovery. WIPE DATA, CACHE, DALVIK CACHE, SYSTEM > Install Rom.
Note do not wipe "internal storage." Otherwise you have to go back and start again with installing twrp v2.8, then copy rom...
Step 6: follow the steps.
IMO ARHD 81 is a stable rom, provides better battery life. If you like Sense then stick with this Rom, if you want Stock Android aka AOSP then try aospa legacy, CM, SlimKAT, AOSB and many more.
Moreover, i haven't found RUU for Sense 6 KK4.4.3, if you do please provide me a link as well.
As of yet there are no links for 4.4.3 RUU's. Haven't been released anywhere. He just needs a working ROM to get s off again. Nice step by step guide tho
Not able to copy my custom rom in phone.

Hi , i got stuck with a minor issue. I am with 2.8 TWRP was trying to mount the phone . i am using a mac os with the Android Revolution Rom downloaded in place. .
m7 gets mount i could see the phone in android fie transfer ( MTP utility for mac) . I selected the System and data and cache back in the twrp mount page. I can write and create some folders etc.
Issue is when i start to copy the Custom ROM file to the phone ( any folder) it says 'filexxx.zip not copy'. However i copied a small file (1mb). It was copied ok.
Any idea what is the issue with the file size restrictions?
I tried the adb sideload that also fails with saying device not found. Wanna avoid sideload, as sideload will execute also the zip after copying . I Want to change the recovery file as the recovery file need to changed to a twrp 2.7xx before installation starts. I hear that V2.8 is not compatible with lot of roms.

You are better using the 2.7.xx version of TWRP. Sounds like you could also be using out of date adb drivers. You can download the most up to date ones by downloading the latest Google sdk
Try fixing the above and sideloading again
No luck ! Fastboot mode also not getting detected now.

Hello i tried updating the drivers from the sdk itself. No luck . The device won't just get detect as adb device. Tried cache clear. factory reset , reboot pc and phone. And Loaded other twrp recovery images ( 2.8 and 2.7).
Today tried with a window machine also. I thought some issue with Mac + adb drivers. But with window also No luck.
Also one more issue, my phone fastboot has stopped detecting om pc and mac. Tried everything almost.
It was like just working some time back, i loaded twrp 2.7.x and booted to recovery for adb sideload.
Adb Sideload failed as mentioned above on this window machine also ... so i was like this adb is not working at all.
But then i thought of loading 2.8 twrp and see if mount (mtp) works, i can send the ROM to device this way. But for that when i booted to fastboot. Fastboot just stopped detecting in PC (window and mac)
I wonder can the Fastboot mode ( within Hboot bootloader) can go corrupt ?
I am sure drivers are there, usb cable is fine, usb port in HTC one is fine. It just show "fastboot ac" not "fastboot usb" . No activity in the device manager when i plug surprisingly !! (can't see Android phone there " . Afterall it was working ok when i loaded the recovery image of 2.7.1.
Also , can the recovery mess up with the fastboot mode ? i am still s-on and in boot loop.
-Thanks,

Sounds also like a driver issue
Try instling HTC sync to get the up to date HTC drivers and retry. Use different usb ports (2.0 preferably) and different cables. If it's saying fastboot ac then the phone is not being detected correctly, so it's a driver issue
You can also try manually installing the driver by searching for I think the Google naked driver
Not really sure what I'm doing wrong. Last rooted phone was a Nexus 5, and that was of course painless to root and flash ROMs to...
I'm using a Verizon XT1096 with 5.1 on T-Mobile.
So I was able to get the bootloader unlocked via Motorola's website, now that Verizon is allowing them to do so. No problems there. My problem now is that I can flash a recovery, but if it reboots, the recovery is gone. And I can't get any recoveries to flash anything. I can't push an apk, root zip, or even a ROM. Says Installation Aborted, with no other error codes. Even tried CWM and disabling Signature Checking, which gives me more info, saying that the footer is mismatched. Phone does say the bootloader is unlocked though so that shouldn't be it...
Honestly, I'd just like to get it on CM12 until I can get a Nexus 6P.. Can anyone tell me if I'm doing something wrong? Or is there just no way to root yet? I figured even the XT1095 CF-Auto-Root method would work for 5.1, but no dice..
Not sure what to do here. Please move my thread if need be. Don't post here much...
I followed the instructions on the TWRP website (link below) and it worked flawlessly. One thing you have to do is, after running the "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" command, make sure to manually scroll on the phone and reboot into recovery. Hope that helps...

There is a partition mismatch. So do this. Download supersu and place it in the phones memory. Boot to fastboot mode and then fastboot boot recovery.img rather than fastboot flash recovery.img. You will boot to twrp, install SuperSU then download twrp from the playstore and install thru the app. It works, that's how I did it. Also when booting to recovery from the fastboot menu choose recovery with the vol up key rather than power button.

I followed the instructions on the TWRP website (link below) and it worked flawlessly. One thing you have to do is, after running the "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" command, make sure to manually scroll on the phone and reboot into recovery. Hope that helps...

I thought I tried that but maybe not. I've read that some stock ROMs can and will overwrite the recovery upon booting, but I could be wrong. I'll look at that when I get home tonight.

Thank you, I'll try this tonight when I get home. This may solve it. I think I remember the bootloader spitting something out about a partition mismatch.. Will report back as soon as I try it.
So I went ahead and tried both your guys' methods.
Oraixearl, I figured your solution would work, but it actually didn't, to my surprise. It returned no results, as the root zip didn't end up doing anything.
RepeatUntilTheEnd's solution worked here. I guess I didn't try rebooting the phone after flashing the recovery, before going into it..
So here's what I did.
1.) Boot into bootloader
2.) Fastboot flash recovery [recovery.img]
3.) adb reboot bootloader
4.) Used keys on phone to go into recovery,
5.) Flashed root.zip
6.) Booted into OS, and ran root checker. Worked.
7.) To my surprise, TWRP stuck around, too.
Thank you guys!

Strange as it worked for me. I'm glad you got it sorted out tho. Cheers.
Hi guys.
I hope someone is still reading these forums and able to help me out.
I have this Z1 C6903 (if I remember the type correctly, it's the standard European version) and I once managed to install Carbon ROM 5.1 on there succesfully. It has TWRP for recovery. It's at 3.0.2
So I guess the bootloader is already unlocked, though I don't remember that.
Now I wanted to install Carbon ROM 6.1 and first tried tha standard reflashing from the Settings. Buit that failed. So I tried from TWRP. Failed again.
Then I did a full wipe and tried to flash the ROM. Failed again of course. So now I'm kind of stuck with a device that has only TWRP and no OS....
So then I read that TWRP has to be updated. I found TWRP 3.2.1 for Honami and loaded the img on my SDCard. I tried to flash it from TWRP, but somehow it returns an error....
I tried hooking it up to my pc. When in TWRP, I find the device when I type "adb devices". It returns the device. When I then type "adb reboot bootloader" the screen turns black and nothing else. "fastboot devices" returns "waiting for devices". Screen black.
Anyone got any suggestions here? I still have the recovery. So I should be able to get somewhere, but I'm at the end of my talent...
Thanks!

I have the same problem and I hope someone can help
same issue, cant update to 3.0.2 or any newer. 5.1.1, unlocked BL, rooted, dualrecovery 2.8.7
only difference, i dont have an sdcard plugged in, so im sideloading through ADB running from PC.
It gives an "ok" during installation - should be working. But reloading into recovery, its not there (just the old version).
The same thing happened previously to me...
Using Rashr might help. But u need to install the oldest version of twrp official 2.8.7-0 then only u can smoothly upgrade to new one 3.0.2-0 and upgrading again to the latest (i think) unofficial twrp 3.2.2-0 (if u wanna upgrade to Nougat or Oreo).
If the Rashr or TWRP Manager didn't work, try XZ Dual Recovery https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
But once u upgrade the twrp after tht... It won't be dual anymore...
Hope it might help...
(If anyone else got a simplest way... Pls share ya..)
Just an update. I was able to find a solution after I hadn't touched the device for several months now.
So I could only boot into recovery TWRP 3.0. The Fastboot procedure didn't work anymore for some strange reason. So volume up and connecting to the pc did give me the blue LED, but the "fastboot devices" command did nothing. Only when the device came into recovery by pressing volume down and on/off and then connecting to the pc gave a result on "adb devices".
Getting out of this was fairly simple in the end. Luckily I could still flash an older 6.0 ROM on the device with TWRP. After gapps I could then install the TWRP app from the Play Store and update TWRP to 3.2 after which I could finally install the ROM I liked.
Phew....
