You need to do a XDA search and look for some kernels and roms to put on a micro SD card and flash it

At this point I will suggest that you download a RUU and use that to restore your phone. Or you could flash a custom rom for the 32bit version of this phone, If the TWRP recovery is working. If the recovery is not working your only option would be the RUU. If you still have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

I am in the same boat!
I know I can NOT get into recovery TWRP. I know I am still unlocked. I am going to make sure I know which version I have. I know it was Boost Mobile. I have searched for correct RUU. Not sure if I can find a good one. To install the RUU I need to mount my SD. I can not find a way to mount. Since I am rooted I thought ES explorer will let me in. No Dice. RUU sources?
Reason for doing this: I want to flash a 5.1 rom. I was directed to update TWRP to fix the failed message I was receiving on flashing the ROM file. That is where I lost recovery altogether.

[Q] Looking for help. Cant boot phone, recovery nor use adb commands.

Hej guys. I really hope that you can help me with my problem
Have been trying for 2 days and looking at post but haven't been able to get it fixed.
Here goes.
I have been playing around with custom roms on my htc one for a while now.
Then when i was about to install a new custom rom, i first wiped my phone.
I properly wiped something that should not be wiped, because i ended up with no os and no custom rom zip file that i could install in twrp.
I then tryed sideloading revolutions, and it seemed to work because it ended up booting on the phone and i could select what programs too install with it... but halfway through it stoped and rebooted.
now i cant even get into recovery anymore, and booting the phone only gets it to htc briliant logo. Then it restarts and tryes going into recovery, but it cant, and ends up just restarting over and over again.
Tryed flashing cwm and twrp again, but still cant get into recovery.
adb dont fint my device, and i have tryed all drivers i could find.
Tryed using a RUU, but it fails. Properly because its not the right one, but cant fint one that fits.
Sooo... i think im in a real pickle right now.
my radio is :4a.14.3250.13
hboot: 1.44.0000
Thinking about going back with my phone, but with the warranty gone i dont know if they'll even look at it.
Hoping for some advise, or some ideas on what to do.

Well, im really just trying to get an os flashed back on the phone so i can boot it, either by another custom rom or a stock rom.
But since i cant use adb commands, how do i get a new rom on there?

So I'll try here first. I am having the same issue, I can't get the device to boot into recovery, no matter if I clear the cache, or flash either one of twrp or CWM.
I unlocked the bootloader, I think used the all in one toolkit to flash the recovery. When that didn't work, I erased the cache and manually flashed the recovery, and it said it pushed successfully.
I am at a loss, I have no idea what to try next, any help would be appreciated.
******Finally got it, I had to disable Fast Boot in the Power options in Settings******
How do you copy update.zip from external to internal SD?
Sorry if it's a total no-brainer, but how do I manually copy a recovery zip to the internal update.zip? Can I do this from my phone (which is stuck in a bootloop: see below)? Or do I have to use ADB with my computer?

My situation:
Using Open Recovery I tried to install CM7 with custom kernel on my XT720
It gave an error: "assert failed: write_raw_image... Status 7" As I was looking that up, my phone blackscreened. After a while I pulled the battery.
Then on startup it went into a bootloop after a picture of a broken screen saying "2ndboot kernel restart in progress." (Presumably the kernel wasn't properly applied?)
Trying to boot into bootloader says battery is too low.
Phone will only turn on when plugged into outlet.
What I think I need to do:
- Copy a good update from my external SD over the bad update.zip on the internal SD, and apply the update to reset the kernel, etc.
- Open Recovery could do this, if I could load it.
- I could load Openrecovery if I could get the bootloader to run,
- I could get the bootloader to run if my battery would charge

[Q] I managed to remove my os on my phone. Help please!

I want to start this off with that i really don't know anything about ROMs and flashing and stuff like that, so just hold that in mind. I am pretty sure that I have the international version of the HTC One since I live in Sweden.
Ok, so here is what happened: I rooted my phone bu using TWRP 2.6.3.3 and SuperSU 1.91. The reason i wanted to root my phone was to be able to use an app that you can only use if you have rooted your phone. When i rooted my phone and downloaded the app it said that i needed to uppdate my busybox so i downloaded a busybox installer from the appstore. When i tried to uppdate my busybox to the latest version it wouldnt work for some reason so i was going to re-root my phone with Superuser instead. However when I couldnt drag the Superuser folder into my sd card i started messing around in twerp recovery and being an idiot as i am i did a "Format data" in TWRP, when i did that obviusly everything got removed and now i don't have an os the only things i can do is booting into bootloader and TWRP otherwise my device is stuck on the HTC bootscreen. Also when i connect my phone to my computer nothing pops up so im guessing that my computer can't recognise it anymore.
I have using google but i couln't find anything. I will be monitoring this thread like a hawk so please help me.
Edit: Here is more information: I have S-on, it also says ***tampered*** and ***unlocked***
Edit2:If you need any more information for helping me please let me know and ill get it.
TL;DR: Rooted HTC One with SuperSU, Formatted data, no os, need help.

Don't panic mate, it's ok you didn't break anything.
Ok, so you can go into twrp. That's enough
All you have to do is installing a custom ROM and you will have your phone back.
Follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023 to install Android revolution HD 51 (4.4.2 android)
Since you can't access the internal SD from your computer, you will have to Sideload it. Don't worry nothing so difficult:

You are welcome! Last raccomandations, when you flash Android rev. remember to select the wipe option in Aroma installer.
Also at the end of the installation press on "wipe davilk cache"
If you encounter bootloop do a "fastboot erase cache".
Also, remember that the first boot after flashing it takes long time (even 10 mins) and it's seems stuck on the htc logo but it's not
Good luck!

[Q] Erased Nexus 6, How to Re-Flash OS?

Hi everyone! So right now, I am on vacation, and I was messing around with my Nexus 6 when I decided to lower my DPI as I read that that would raise my battery life. So I did so, but as I was rebooting, I got stuck in a bootloop, with a message that read: "Android is starting; starting apps..." and then the screen would go black and it would start all over, indefinitely. So then I went into TWRP recovery and went to erase, but I accidentally erased everything. How do I get the OS back on the phone? I have the .tar file for the OS from Google's website, and I have ADB installed and prepped on my laptop, but how to I do the flash? Thanks!

Mount as MTP in TWRP an transfer a ROM from your laptop. You may need to use fastboot and run:
fastboot format userdata
But just try to transfer a ROM first.

I'm sorry I didn't know you were trying to flash a factory image. I would recommend downloading a ROM from the development section, something close to stock, and use that to get up and running first. Then you can return to stock if that is what you are trying to do.

Help, please bricked after Marshmallow ota trying to gain root.

Unlocked
S-Off
Cid spcs-001
Hboot 3.19
Radio 1.09
Open dsp v 51.2.2
Os 6.20.651.3
I've run the firmware twice, but it boots into a boot loop in between installs. I've tried multiple versions of the new stock Rom. Only non-hk of course. Currently trying the download straight from HTC.
Any ideas?
Please, I'm desperate.
Sounds like you flashed the Full Firmware if you have a backup you should be able to restore it without any problem or you could run the latest RUU and start fresh.

I cannot get twrp back on it. I've tried to run adb devices and cannot see anything. I originally posted ROM, but I've actually been trying to install the RUU by renaming it and putting it on my sd. It looks like is installing it, then says press power to reboot. I do, and I get back to the boot loop from bad boyz Rom
TWRP is installed from fastboot/bootloader so you would type fastboot devices
Timeline:
Had Bad Boyz rom, wanted marshmallow
Unroot, back to stock ruu
Updated to marshmallow
Updated all apps and then wanted root back
Installed twrp. All good at this point
Installed supersu, got boot loop
Had bad boyz backup, twrp installed this backup
All working today, but wanted to get back to marshmallow
Tried to sd install ruu, and now I'm here.
I know I should've backed up when I first installed twrp, but sometimes I'm confident that I know what I'm doing, and this happens...
I would suggest running the RUU from your PC it is an .exe file as far as I know so renaming it most likely won't work.

I'm such a jackass. You're freaking awesome!
Now that I have twrp back on my machine, do you have any suggestions as to how I might go about getting marshmallow on it? I can't seem to make any of the RUUs install properly on top of this ROM.
I may have just answered my own question. I have to unroot again, don't I?
You could copy a MM rom to your phone and flash it from twrp

Cool, I'll try it that way. At least I know now that I can twrp the bad boyz if I can't make it work. Thank you! I'll let you know how it goes.
I have run the original RUU by formatting my sd in fat32 and renaming the RUU 0P6BIMG.ZIP many times, but I'm assuming that the new one won't run that way.

0P6BIMG_Sprint_HTC_One_M8_6.20.651.3_RUU.zip (get rid of everything after 0P6BIMG and you should be golden)
Make sure you install the latest version of SU, also, otherwise you'll boot loop. Obviously if you end up flashing a rooted ROM like Bad Boyz there is no reason to install SU.

Bricked it... EVA-L09

So I was an idiot, I've resigned myself to this fact because I've clearly done something wrong.
TWRP installed, rooted and booted.
Then I tried to flash a new ROM from here using TWRP and well... that's where things went tits up. Something in TWRP said in red about not being able to mount something. The loading screen was stuck and then it just bootlooped over and over again. I downloaded a stock ROM, wiped system and tried to flash but now it's stuck on the "your device is shifty" screen and I'm totally out of ideas...
Please refrain from pointing out what a moron I've been.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can save this wretched soul.
do you have access to bootloader with fastboot?
seeing a lot of threads like this around here. Don't want to offend you or anybody else but just that someone has said it: First thing you do after flashing TWRP is a backup :angel:
hope you get your things sorted though. Can your please provide a more detailed list of things you did? How did you try to flash the stock rom you downloaded? dload forced update? flashed in twrp? etc.

Yeah I realised I should have done that the second things started going wrong, I got cocky. And I tried to flash the stock with TWRP; downloaded it to my laptop, put it on the SD card and then in to the phone. Every process that the installation or wipe or any of the other actions performed by TWRP is followed by a line saying "Failed to mount '/ data' (Invalid argument)". I tried to follow the forced update of the stock but I couldn't seem to get that to work either ( this method stechguide.com/marshmallow-stock-rom-for-huawei-p9 ). After all that I can't think if there's anything else.

Ok, so a few things:
-The failed to mount /data message probably means that you have an old version of TWRP, check the thread again and make sure you use at least RC3 (newest one afaik).
-Original stock Huawei roms are not suitable for TWRP, to flash a stock rom you need a stock recovery which you can flash back the same way you flashed twrp (using fastboot, or SRK tools). Once you have stock recovery, you can force the update by putting the update file in a folder on your sdcard (internal or external) called "dload". Then you turn off the phone and start it by holding volume up, volume down and power.
-Alternatively you could use a custom rom, which you can find in the dev thread. Custom roms can and should be flashed in TWRP.

I keep pressing the up/down + power buttons but it keeps going to TWRP, as for the out of date version I have 3.0.0-0 but as lomunet suggested I'm downloading the srk tool. That's what I originally used to install TWRP in the first place. For the stock ROM to boot do I need to do anything to the file when it's downloaded (ie zipped or unzipped)? Nosing around a few other threads I noticed they mention something about making a file in the root of the file, and I hope you'll pardon my ignorance, but I have no idea how to do that. As for the custom ROM, I'll try that again when srk tools has finished downloading and I've reinstalled TWRP.

Ok so, I installed the latest TWRP (3.0.2-eva-modaco-rc3) and that went off without a hitch. Using the SRK tools that lomunet suggested I tried to sideload the stock ROM but the error message of " cannot read 'sideload\ROM.zip' " keeps popping up. I'm downloading a custom ROM (forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rom-huawei-p9-fromfuture-newworld-t3390820) as I type to see if that works flashing it through TWRP.

I'm downloading a custom ROM (forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rom-huawei-p9-fromfuture-newworld-t3390820) as I type to see if that works flashing it through TWRP.

Original stock Huawei roms are not suitable for TWRP, to flash a stock rom you need a stock recovery

you really need to flash stock recovery first to flash stock firmware. It won't work as long as you have TWRP installed you can use SRK tools to flash stock recovery.
If you are always stuck, jus download "DC Phoenix"(i don't know if i'm authorized to post the name ?), it's a paid app but it's worked for me. Just boot to fastboot mode, and flash your firmware with the app

Ahhhh right right right. So I need to remove TWRP first, then use SRK tools to flash the stock recovery?
... so, how do I remove TWRP?

Installing stock recovery will remove TWRP.
