Just flash the 4EXT recovery image in FASTBOOT USB mode using the command:
fastboot flash recovery [path to the recovery.img file]
It is best to just copy the recovery.img file to the directory where you run FASTBOOT.exe from.

What you have described is normal for the downgrade script. Just try running the RUU now.

[Q] Stuck on Cyanogenmod Simple Recovery

Hi,
I'm in desperate need of some help and am not sure what to do. My HTC One m7 got stuck in Cyanogenmod Simple Recovery after the latest update. It will keep rebooting back into Simple Recovery. Is there any way to get my phone back either to stock or to Cyanogenmod?
I always just left it on Cyanogenmod so I'm not very familiar with flashing or other programs. If anyone has any advice, could you please point me to the correct tutorials and downloads?
I am at a complete loss with how to get my phone to its original state.

Thank you for the response, however my biggest issue is getting out of simple recovery. How do I install a new recovery, such as TWRP or CWM at the simple recovery screen and how do I flash the latest cyanogenmod rom?

You will have to flash CWM recovery in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB. You can get the recovery from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager find your phone then download the recovery.
In bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, flash CWM recovery (either rename the file CWM.img or type the whole name in place of CWM):
fastboot flash recovery CWM.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Thank you for replying.
So from what I'm understanding is that I will need to use ADB to sideload the recovery onto my phone, correct?
I'm not sure what the bootloader/FASTBOOT USB you refer to, I feel like I need it to be ELI5. My brain is melting when trying to read this.
P.S. I am STUCK in Cyanogenmod Simple Recovery. I am not able to power down the device or get to any other screen.

No, you can not load the recovery with sideload. Have ADB & Fastboot installed on your computer, place the recovery file in the same folder and connect your phone to the computer.
Open a command window in the folder where ADB & fastboot reside.
Type: adb reboot bootloader
When the screen on your phone shows the white bootloader screen in blue will be FASTBOOT USB
Type one line at a time waiting until the cmd screen states OK or something similiar:
fastboot flash recovery CWM.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Here is a guide on fastboot commands.

So I was able to get my device past the first prompt. I now see the white bootloader screen and it does say "FASTBOOT USB". I downloaded the latest TWRP and placed it in the same folder as ADB and Fastboot. I did the second command to flash it, however I keep getting the error "error: cannot open 'TWRP.img'. Any idea as to what I could be doing wrong?

Got it to work. Used adb to get into fastboot. Then opened up the CM installer and let it redownload cyanogenmod onto my phone.
Thanks for the help!

[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!

Fortunately, it wasn't that bad. So the installation of TWRP failed somehow and I just reinstalled it. Thanks for your help!

Urgent help request from the devs!!

I tried to create a custom boot logo using logo builder 1.6
I followed all the steps as mentioned in the thread for creating a logo.
After renaming logo.bin to logo.img , the next step was given to flash this image using twrp.
So, after flashing I got stuck on boot logo (the loop is the starting venom logo as for the venom kernel )and I cannot access twrp recovery nor can I flash anything using SP flash tool via laptop.
Please help ASAP

Yes and allow for OEM Unlock. It's a windows 10 driver issue. I couldn't figure it out.
Luckily I was able to run in on a Linux computer. Fastboot worked fine and was able to unlock the bootloader!

How exactly did you root it? What were the steps if you don't mind sharing. I've only rooted one phone and I followed a step by step tutorial on YouTube.

The easiest way I've found is to download magisk manager and the stock boot img for your device.open magisk manager and click install-download zip only.. then move the zip file and your stock boot img to the root of internal storage. Eg/storage/emulated/0/. Go back to magisk manager and click install/select and patch file. Navigate to where you stored your stock boot img and select it. Magisk will automatically flash and repck img file and will save it in your downloads folder as magisk_patched.img. enable and debugging in Dev options and reboot to bootloader. /Adb reboot bootloader. Once your phone is in fastboot mode type /fastboot devices to be sure your computer can recognize your phone. Should come back as a serial number followed by the word fastboot. Then type
Fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
You should get a success prompt. If successful then reboot using
Fastboot reboot
Once your phone loads back up check magisk manager to verify that everything is installed, should be two green checks. Then use a root checker to verify root.....and that's it!

Also, you have to make sure your bootloader is unlocked in order to do this....its very easy for the bold n1 just enable oem unlock in Dev options and the reboot to bootloader and type fastboot flashing unlock. Select yes on the prompt on your phone and then continue your process.
