Trouble flashing TWRP - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody. I'm having some problems flashing TWRP after unlocking the bootloader.
First of all, after unlocking the BL, I have flashed back the stock logo using
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
Then I tried flashing TWRP.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Everything is successful, but booting to recovery from bootloader turns the phone off, and using
Code:
adb reboot recovery
brings about a 'dead android' screen with 'No command' written below it. I had to force reboot.
The phone itself works fine, and I was able to boot to TWRP, using the same .img file,
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
, and flash SU and whatever.
I don't really have a clue about what's going on here, can anybody point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance

Nevermind, solved using TWRP manager app, and flashing the recovery from Android. Still don't know why I wasn't able to flash recovery from fastboot.

I think you should use mfastboot instead of fastboot

Mfastboot? I am using Linux, I think that it's for Windows only. Anyway, I don't think the problem is on computer side, since the commands were successful both on the pc and the phone.

[Q] HELP after unrooting/S-off No boot

I was unrooting/locking bootloader/S-on'n in order to sell my One today. The process ran smoothly. I was preparing to use The RUU but I got an error that the version I am on is current. I should have ran it while I had S-off. I then flashed the firmware in fastboot using the fastboot oem rebootRUU and it flashed successfully. The phone will not boot past the HTC One logo screen nor can I access files through abd nor flash anything through fastboot. I can't even use any RUUs. I don't know what to do. Can someone please help me or direct me where I should look?

Flash the latest version of TWRP TWRP 2.6.3.0
easiest way in my opinion is through fastboot.
TWRP 2.6 - HTC One (Sprint USA) Download to your android SDK folder then open a comand prompt cd to your android sdk dir and type
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img (Change recoveryfilename.img to whatevery the recovery.img name is).

HTC stuck help

I have a friend who unlocked his phone rooted it installed viper and after install went to reboot and it just boots back into boot loader then when you reboot phone it brings up fastboot menu so I try to hit recovery and it just reboots back into fadtboot can't get into recovery so I use fastboot flash recovery to flash recovery back .. that works no problem but now there's nothing on the phone I tried to push files using adb to push a Rom back on the phone but it says device not found I have installed and uninstalled the drivers hundereds of times
How else can I get files on the phone without adb? Is it a Windows 7 issue? I'm stuck no phone

If your sure your drivers are working fine it should work. Adb only works in recovery though. You are using adb in the recovery, Not the bootloader?

You can't "pull" from fastboot. The protocol doesn't work like that sadly. What you can do though, is download a kernel from the forums here on xda and:
Flash recovery image to boot partition:
fastboot flash boot <recovery.img>
Battery pull (or reboot) and do a normal boot
It'll boot into recovery.
Backup recovery parition.
Reboot to fastboot
Flash kernel back:
fastboot flash boot <kernel boot.img>
Flash recovery to correct spot:
fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img>

Many thanks for that. It worked and now I have CWM recovery. And the first thing I did with it was ???? Make a backup and save that on my computer for just in case!!
Something like this
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p41 of=/mnt/media_rw/ext_sd/recovery.img
should do it.

Flash all bat doesn't work. Did you unzip the second folder and find actual system.img. Then fastboot flash system system.img.

Open command prompt. type fastboot flash system (drag and drop system img here)

Again don't even know if n6 can use NRT but if it helps it helps lol

Don't rely on the toolkits tho, I personally think you need to know and understand the manual flash and Woking with adb/fastboot, I only used it because I spent a good hour trying every other possible fix to flash system (on both windows & Ubuntu).
But again I'm glad it work

[Solved] Unable to boot into TWRP recovery?

Hello,
I recently flashed the latest TWRP beta for the OxygenOS 4.0.1 on my phone which has an unlocked bootloader. I managed to boot into recovery immediately after flashing the .img through my PC, so that's how I was able to install my SuperSU.
However, since I booted into the OS, anytime I'm trying to enter the TRWP recovery again, I'm stuck in the stock recovery which doesn't let me install anything. So the only way for me to boot into TWRP recovery is using my PC. Can anybody help me to fix that?
Thanks!
What command are you using to install TWRP to your bootpartition?
I think the correct one is something like:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery (file name).img

Thanks for your reply! Exactly. And after installing it, I used the command 'fastboot boot TWRP.img", and that brought me into TWRP recovery. But I could only get there this way and still had the stock recovery.

From what I understand, the command 'fastboot boot twrp.img' will boot the specified recovery once, but won't flash it to the device. So it has nothing to do with the recovery that is actually on your device. Perhaps something went wrong when you actually flashed twrp and it wasn't written at all.

Thanks for both your replies. Yes, I did. An indicator is also that every time I boot up my system it even warns me that the bootloader is unlocked.

Well, I flashed the twrp by booting into fastboot mode and then typing 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img'. I don't know what's wrong there, so maybe you could help me out?

Unfortunately then I don't know how to help Because that's exactly what I did and I got TWRP running without any problem. If you flash via 'fastboot flash recovery' command will it be on the device after you reboot for the first time?
i remember, once i couldn't boot into recovery either when i used fastboot command. Then I flash recovery using tool below and it worked for me.

Apparently, you were right. I just wiped my device (accidentaly ) and flashed TWRP again, basically did the same steps as before, but now it works. Seems like somehow the installation of TWRP just failed on the first try. Thanks for your help!
