[Q] Issue flashing TWRP 2.8 on my M8 - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I'm trying to update my TWRP on my phone in preparation for picking up the latest android revoltuion 30.1 ROM. Following info here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/225 I tried:
1) Using the app in the app store - my phone is rooted. It detects my previous install but when I try to install the newest one TWRP crashes out - appears to be a known issue according to their site.
2) Tried fastboot method. This 'appears' to work - shows sending info to the phone, says ok. But on the phone if I try to enter recovery I get stuck on the white HTC screen with 'entering recovery' at the top. I tried following Q13 on the FAQ (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228274) which asks me to fastboot erase cache. I did this. Same issue. The phone is mostly unresponsive - I have to hold vol up + power for a minute for it to hard reboot, which works fine.
The odd thing is that my TWRP claims I have version 2.8.4.0 installed. Why can't I get into Recovery?
Thanks!

First you are in the wrong forum, this is the M7 forum not, M8.

Does ARHD 30.1 really need the latest twrp? Just saying cause here in the M7 forum, we still use 2.6.3.3 to flash ARHD because some newer version of TWRP are buggy as hell. Make sure TWRP 2.8.4.0 is needed before updating it, a recovery is not something you want to be always up-to-date, it must be stable. Newer doesnt always = better.

fastboot is the most reliable and safe method to flash a recovery imo.

This FAQ is for the M7 but anyway should also do this (fastboot erase cache) on your M8.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Also check the MD5 of your recovery to be 100% sure it match the given value on the download page, if its not matching, you have a bad download.

Thanks so much for the reply - can't believe I posted in the wrong forum, sorry about that!
Awesome advice re: version - I tried an earlier version and it now works fine following your method. Thanks loads!

[Q] Broke my recovery image. :(

Hi there,
I've just installed CM 6.1.1 via Amon Ra's recovery. CyanogenMod is pretty damn good I must say. At any rate, I got interested in the ClockWork ROM manager app and decided to give it a try. Seemed to install OK from the first menu item but (foolishly foolish now it seems) I didn't do anything to remove Amon Ra's original recovery before installing via the menu.
At any rate, any of the options I choose from the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery to require a reboot into the recovery don't work. "Reboot into recovery" and "backup current ROM" reboot and intitally give me the regular Nexus One splash (with unlock icon) then go to a black screen. I can still get to the regular bootloader screen by holding the trackball and pressing power but going to HBOOT gives me a blackscreen on reboot too.
I've given the forums a pretty good trawl but haven't found any answers so far. I wondered about flashing back to a stock bootloader but haven't found any instructions that don't also require flashing back to the stock ROM also.
Can anyone tell me how to flash the bootloader properly/fully (with ClockWork) given the fact that I appear to have broken it. Any help would be greatly appreciated - I really like the idea of being able to use the ClockWork ROM manager!
Use fastboot to flash an SLCD compatible recovery.
Blackscreen means that the SLCD driver is missing and cannot correctly display the recovery.
The compatible recoveries are Amon_ra 1.9 alpha and above and only the latest clockworkmod recovery (which is only available through a certain menu in the ROM Manager app)
Wrong forum bud but here you go:
1) Download this
2) Reboot to bootloader (Open up a cmd window in your sdk/tools/ folder and type 'adb reboot bootloader')
3) Copy recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.0-passion.img to the tools folder.
4) Verify fastboot recognises your device: 'fastboot devices'
5) Issue command 'fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.0-passion.img'
6) Finally reboot using 'fastboot reboot'
You should then be able to use ROM manager just fine
Edit: Or follow the above post using the Rom manager gui.
Wrong forum! Doh! Apologies. Just noticed I'm now listed below this thread: "Thread DELETED/Locked??? >>>> This is DEVELOPMENT section not Q&A/General!!!! <<<<" Hope I don't get whacked with the ban hammer.
Thanks for the amazingly fast replies guys. Tried flashing the clockwork .img file (not using adb but linux-fastboot seems to work OK on my Ubuntu install) and rebooted from the bootloader with the HBOOT - recovery option and tried fasboot-linux reboot from terminal. Still getting a black screen. Same with reinstalling Clockwork recovery from the GUI. Hmmmm.
Incidentally, is there anyway to tell from the bootloader screen what recovery flashes are installed?

Oh wait, your HBOOT is black or your recovery? Try a direct "reboot recovery" command from your terminal to see if the recovery now works...
If it's only the hboot, you should be able to flash the 0.35 hboot which supports SLCD
or fastboot oem rebootRUU - if your device's bootloader is unlocked, else be aware that any fastboot command will unlock it, even if you don't apply the oem unlock.
Only clockwork 2.5.1.1 and above, our Amon 1.9 and above is compatible.
Open ROM Manager, and flash a newer version. The option is under All Clockwork Recoveries, at the bottom of the initial page...

Utter crap.
Righto so I've already flashed to the latest version of clockwork (from the GUI) which is where things started getting funky. When I get back to my laptop ill try rebooting into recovery instead of using hboot. And perhaps try flashing to hboot 3.5 if you guys think this might help. I do still get a blackscreen from using the reboot into recovery option from theROM manager GUI.
EDIT: Oh cool. Just read your post more carefully danger-rat. Went to 2.5.1.1 of clockwork and I'm all sorted when booting into recovery from the GUI. Not sure about hboot but I guess if its working from the GUI its all good. ') Thanks for the help people.
EDIT EDIT: I really should try things before posting, anyways hboot works good too now! Niiiiice.

[Q] Device not found!

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!

please help
i use TWRP v2.5.0.0
is there any way to update twrp? (latest roms require 2.6 twrp or higher???)
Download the 2.6.3.3 version of TWRP, rename the file to recovery, place the .img file in the folder on your PC where ADB is located and then flash in fastboot with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. After that command completes, run fastboot erase cache. Then you can copy the ARHD 81 .zip to your phone and flash away.
after that i have tried:
So now you probably have screwed your partitions flashing an incompatible rom and recovery to your phone. Flash a twrp version for Sprint variant and then format data and flash a Custom rom compatible with Sprint phones (M7WLS)
Sprint TWRP here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7wls
Sprint roms here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spri...ne/development
i have flashed sprint twrp and sprint roms:
Bad Boyz Sprint ONE ROM 4.4.2 Sense 6 v1.0
ROM] Eragon v53Stable&clean|Sense/Aosp/GPE mix, ROM for the HTC One
Sprint_Eragon_V_54.0.0.zip
ViperOne 7.0.1
and they all have same issue.
installation went well. on first boot rom went to lock screen. after unlocking only white screen occurs with green htc logo.
after that dialer app reports crushing
what to do next?
do i need to unlock sprint sim since i live in croatia (europe)?
thanks for help
You should RUU and get everything working the way it should again.
Then flash a rom from the Sprint section.

NOTE: Read the threads, the instructions I'm giving you are just for you to gauge the difficulty of this task, to see if you can do it. Don't follow my instructions! Read the threads!
Read this first.
Then get this firmware.zip and put it in your adb/fastboot folder
source
reboot into fastboot mode with:
adb reboot bootloader
unless you don't have ADB, which you probably don't because you dun goofed when you flashed an Int'l ROM. In which case just press and hold power + vol down and pray.
once you're in fastboot mode, check to see if your device is recognized (may have to do this as root user in linux):
fastboot devices
This should list your device. If nothing comes up, check back here.
Now we're gonna lock your bootloader because RUU fails on unlocked bootloaders (security reasons). Skip this if you're S-Off (you shouldn't be, that's for advanced users).
fastboot oem lock
Now you're gonna go into RUU mode, which lets you modify all partitions of the phone (because you won't be in one):
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Now, we're going to flash the stock image to all the partitions of your device. This is the step that will undo your mistake!
fastboot flash zip firmware_version.zip
NOTE: Change the name of firmware_version.zip to whatever you download from above. If you get an error saying "flush again immdeiately," flash again immediately; just put in the exact same command.
Done. Just finalize with this:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
And then unplug and redo your entire root/ROM process from there.
Hopefully this mini guide will give you an idea of whether you'll need further help. @BD619 is a great fellow to ask.
thank you. you are a life saver. my phone is alive

[Q] After flashing TWRP, XT1063 only boots to the unlocked warning screen

My apologies if this has already been posted. I've been looking all morning but haven't seen anyone with the same issue.
Unlock bootloader: no problem.
Flash TWRP: I downloaded from http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/275, and I got an error about partition size mismatch, but that's ok, right?
But when I try to enter recovery, all I get is the warning screen that my phone is unlocked. The drivers are certainly installed correctly, and fastboot is working fine. I just can't get into recovery to flash a ROM!
Restoring to 4.4.4 stock worked like a charm.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...dows-tool-moto-g-2014-xt1064-restore-t2957167

You can use Flashify to make a backup of your current recovery and to flash TWRP.img. should work like a charm.
But Flashify requires root, I see? The reason I'm trying to flash a custom recovery is so I can root in the first place.

You're right. Latest motorola driver and [TOOL]Minimal ADB and Fastboot will do the trick.
Sorry, I should have clarified that when flashing TWRP, I've already been using fastboot.exe from a command line (and administrator level), with the drivers correctly installed. That's how I was able to unlock in the first place.
I did try it with the version of Fastboot you linked to (what I have works peachy for my Nexus 7), still the same thing. I can't boot into recovery and only get stuck at the Motorola unlocked warning.

I'd done "fastboot devices" already to verify, and it returns the serial number, though as I said it's clearly working since I was able to unlock as well as flash recovery. I'm flashing "TWRP2801-titan-motog-2014.img" that I downloaded from the TWRP site, and fastboot gives the standard messages about size and success (and my phone gives the size mismatch error).
It's so strange to me. I've flashed a custom recovery dozens of times on both generations of my Nexus 7s, but I've never seen this.

Yeah......have to meditate about that problem....... is your battery low? Fastboot mode of the device gives me all sorts of problems if it detects low battery
I had been using fastboot at 100% (literally finished a full charge) and 84%, but thanks for the continued attempts at explanation.
Oh, did you check the md5 checksum of your download?
Ah, good thought! I rarely do, but I did just now...and they're the same. It's crazy, isn't it?

If you are willing to risk it, try a fresh download and try again. I've flashed TWRP more than 20 times by now and never recieved an error whatsoever. It basically the easiest thing to do.
Incase you are stuck again, don't reflash the entire stock rom. Just flash the recovery.img from the stock rom files.
OR
Try this:
HOW TO ROOT MOTO G 2014 with Temporary Custom Recovery
Cheers
I've flashed a custom recovery many a time and have helped people through it, though on Nexus 7s.
Now shall I compound the mystery? I didn't think yet to use ADB to make my phone reboot to recovery. I had assumed recovery wasn't working. So here we go, after booting into Android:
adb reboot devices: my phone's there.
adb reboot recovery: TWRP's working?! And now root is complete!
It doesn't make sense to me why I can't get into recovery from the bootloader, but I can get into it with the simple ADB command. But I appreciate all the help, thanks!

Try re download the zip (or try an other rom)maybe you just got an false download. i also had some trouble with my m7 back in the day.
But in your case now you are stuck with no os or bootloop, i give you as advice to follow an soft unbrick method it worked for me, or if you have an usb otg cable and usb or and usb otg thumbstick, put the rom on that usb and connect it to your phone and then try to flash it (if your using twrp you have an option to choose from wich storage you want to use)
Also a piece of advice, when flashing roms, kernels etc please have your phone charged above 50% (just in case).

Can you please post the output of
Code:
fastboot getvar all
please remove your imei and serial number.
Depending on which variant of the M7 you have you probably just need a different version of recovery to install a CM rom. I think they prefer TWRP 2.7.x.x. Post the getvar and we can see what you have. then I can give you a better informed instruction. :good:
P.s also check the md5 of the rom zip you downloaded. Use this tool www.winmd5.com the correct md5 should be listed with the link you downloaded the rom from
failed to mount /dev/block/blah blah blah = needs "block:by-name" support which twrp 2.6.3.3 doesn't have
everything explained here
So update your recovery
and do what danny said above so he can confirm you have the right rom/recovery for your device.

Your getvar looks fine this rom should work fine with your device. Download this version of TWRP https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358561860 (2.7.1.2). dropthe file in your fastboot folder and flash it with fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "name-of-recovery".img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Once thats done reflash the rom with the new version of TWRP. It should flash just fine :good:

There are a number of ways to return to stock software. You can simply flash a stock rom through twrp or use a stock nandroid. look for rom that match your version main. 7.19.401.22
I think there is even an lollipop 7.19.401.22 RUU for your device but I'm not sure if it will work with s-on though because it's a zip but it certainly wouldnt hurt to try it though. You will need to relock your bootloader and flash it with fastboot.
I'll edit this post with links when I find them unless some one beats me to it

Sorry I am at work so availability is scetchy. I found the ruu but it's for the older 7.19.401.2 lollipop, this won't work for you because your s-on. Downgrading firmware is only possible with s-off.
You can use this stock rom though http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/development/rom-100-pure-stock-5-0-2-7-19-401-2-t3044041 just flash it with twrp. The thread recommends TWRP 2.8.5.X no need to relock the bootloader or anything silly, just flash it like any other rom :good:
You'll notice that this rom is also for the older 7.19.401.2 so you will need to install the last OTA update to bring your rom in line with your firmware. Flash this recovery with the same method as twrp. (Stock recovery required for installing the OTA) http://sourceforge.net/projects/htcone/files/Recovery/STOCK/7.19.401.2_recovery.img/download reboot then just go to Settings>About>Check for updates.

Okay try this. Download the OTA but select the option "Install Later" connect your m7 to your pc and browse your storage. In the download folder on your phone you should find the OTA in zip format. Copy it to your pc.
Now open the OTA zip on your pc. Inside you'll find another zip called "firmware.zip" extract it then open it. Inside you'll find a recovery.img. extract the recovery file and flash it with fastboot. Now reboot to android and continue to install the OTA. :fingers-crossed:

Yes you will need to unlock the bootloader to flash the recovery, Dont forget to fastboot erase cache after flashing the recovery that is cruicial. You don't need to be relocked to install the OTA though.
When you select install now, the device should reboot to the Stock Recovery. At first the screen will just be black for a short while. Then you'll see an image of a phone with a Green ring and download arrow. If you hold Volume up and press the power button you will see the Stock Recovery and its progress in installing the OTA.
I'm not sure why your device was hanging on boot after installing the OTA. Maybe a bad recovery.img. that's why I say to get the recovery from the OTA file.
its still not working so i mite just install twrp and restore to cm12.1

Sorry I am at work so availability is scetchy. I found the ruu but it's for the older 7.19.401.2 lollipop, this won't work for you because your s-on. Downgrading firmware is only possible with s-off.
You can use this stock rom though http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/development/rom-100-pure-stock-5-0-2-7-19-401-2-t3044041 just flash it with twrp. The thread recommends TWRP 2.8.5.X no need to relock the bootloader or anything silly, just flash it like any other rom :good:
You'll notice that this rom is also for the older 7.19.401.2 so you will need to install the last OTA update to bring your rom in line with your firmware. Flash this recovery with the same method as twrp. (Stock recovery required for installing the OTA) http://sourceforge.net/projects/htcone/files/Recovery/STOCK/7.19.401.2_recovery.img/download reboot then just go to Settings>About>Check for updates.

Your still stuck with this? Try starting the process over, but do not relock your bootloader at any point.
Wipe system data and cache partitions with TWRP Advanced wipe
Flash the Rom with twrp as a clean install.
Reboot and download the OTA. Choose install later, then copy the OTA to your pc. Extract the Stock Recovery and flash it with fastboot. Reboot and install the OTA.
But do not relock your boot loader. Because when you unlock the bootloader, it wipes the device including the data/preload folder. If the preload folder is not intact the OTA will fail
