Issues flashing custom recovery

At&t HTC one, bootloader is already unlocked. As far as i can tell from CMD flashing recoveries completes successfully, as does clearing the cache but after rebooting the bootloader still does not list the phone as tampered and selecting recovery just boots the phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After the flash of the rom, clean the cache:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Now, you can boot into recovery.
P.s. Flash TWRP recovery, is better then CWM

Try flashing this one, do a 'fastboot erase cache' first...

As far as i can tell everything completed properly, but the bootloader still does not say the phone has been tampered with and choosing to boot into recovery in the bootloader just boots the phone.
EDIT: Link failed. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ug9gm1ve90hj1vg/Failed Flash.PNG

I'm having the same problem. No matter what I do, even if it looks successful, it's just booting into the ROM and not into recovery. I'm about to cry. And yes, I've ran "fastboot erase cache" about 10 times.

I know, i caught that, but still it says failed. Any other ideas?

I think you have operator specific version HBOOT, you need specific recovery.version.

Thats for the One x, wont there be problems from flashing that?
EDIT: Also attempted flashing a custom recovery though goo.im's app using the open recovery script but that also didnt work even though it threw a toast notification that it installed successfully.

I'm sorry for my carelessness, and wrong link.. you don't need to flash it!
I didn't find any specific recovery for at&t. My assumption most likely the wrong.

[Q] Recover P10 after mistaken Oreo update to P10+

Hi.
I wanted to upgrade to Oreo manually, but mistakenly downloaded files for P10 Plus VKY-L29C432. The Update was successful and I had a phone with P10+ firmware (DPI was way off).
After update I successfully flashed TWRP over stock recovery. Then I tried to flash the correct Oreo update for VTR-L29C432 but it did not work.
Now I am stuck in ERROR MODE.
Fastboot is working and bootloader is unlocked.
Flashing TWRP does not work.
Is there any way to recover P10 firmware?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/help/help-please-error-mode-recovery-t3757571
This guy successfully flashed recovery by flashing kernel.img first. But there is no kernel.img after extracting Oero`s update.app.

There is a kernel image in the update.app from the update.zip.

There is a kernel.img in P10+ update.app, but not in P10 (Oreo)

So nothing has helped so far.
Flashed kernel first then TWRP, but I cannot boot into it.
Is there a way I can flash all those IMGs from UPDATE.APP from bootloader?

Hi Cesedy, I'm in the exact same situation as you (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75791054&postcount=36) and am out of ideas. I even tried manually flashing the system.img via fastboot but not joy.
There must be a way of recovering the device, but I'm not sure where to go next...:crying:

Hi.
I am out of options as well.
But, there is a saying in this forum, that if bootloader is unlocked and fastboot is working, there is a way out.
Still waiting for it.
Anyway, I opened a thread in this forum too - https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-22218.html

Are we having the same problem?
Thread
I found the kernel.img in the update.app of the FULL-OTA of the oreo update but it was not helpful nor a solution!

The same.

Out of curiousity? does everybody get their previous version for fastboot oem get-build-number?
maybe we should update the bootloader?

Update and a suggestion from the manual updating thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75800881&postcount=40.

Aw, man, that is not good. Should never lock bootloader if phone is not working.

Yeah, desperation took over from brains. However no harm appears to have done as the bootloader is actually still unlocked (if the warning splash screen is to be believed).
I've now also managed to get back into fastboot after letting the battery drain completely.

That command is not for locking the bootloader, it is for finding the version. Pretty harmless but useful to find which version we have.

The funky Huawei Unbrick tool did the trick for me on this one. I know it is a pay option but for $50 seems to be worse it.
I was able to boot in the system again, Grockstar was able to get into erecovery so that was progress in both cases!

If anyone needs, can use my DC-Phoenix account, I don`t need it anymore.

You are trying to flash a TWRP with wrong command. Or, you need another version of TWRP. If u have installed Android 8.0+ you need to know the fastboot commands are different from Android 7.0. Try as I say, other TWRP and try to flash a stock image with HURupdate etc.

Use huawei update extractor, disable header check somewhere in options and get boot.img, kernel.img and ramdisk.img. flash these using fastboot. If norhing works try to flash twrp tk boot partition so it will start twrp, from there download nougat fw and flash it using hurupdater

[HELP] Can't root Razr i xt890

I am on the verge of giving up. I have tried everything I can. The phone is on 4.4.2
I tried towelroot, and that said the phone was unsupported. I tried TwerkyMyMoto, which did not work, after reading the thread apparaently it does not work in KitKat. I tried another one that I had faith in, closed the page so forgot what it was called, but the file that I got was "RAZRi_Root_Windows.zip" but after running it, I got the following...

EDIT: Seems like the site does not let me link to a picture, and when I use the sites image feature, it just shows an error. soooo... https:// imgur . com/ 0Gt68pX
There were also talks of ClockWorkMod, which when I tried to install with ROM Manager, and it said that it was unsupported.
My bootloader is unlocked. I don't know what to try! Please help.

i also cant root my device. tried installing TWRP without root, but without success. i tried all methods i could find for rooting - app based and fastboot based - nothing worked.
and help is really appreciated!

First you have to unlock the bootloader
and install TWRP and motoboot from fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then from TWRP you must mount the partition system and install RAZRiRoot2.zip
RAZRiRoot2.zip MD5: a60a6312f7ebac4ccc66f7503dbff089
TWRP-3.2.1-0-f2fs-Flashable.zip MD5: a95a8c0ce1a182af4d3c26f522b0db6c
motoboot.zip MD5: 4cc4f2c54914b939563cb3d37bbecb55
That's it

hey @sercari,
thanks for trying to help, but it seems the recovery cant be installed without rooting (at least it doesnt work for me), im not sure about motoboot. anyway, the question is how to root the phone?

Stock Pie on RETCN (XT1789-05) Z2 Force (Hybrid of RETCN Oreo, RETEU Oreo and RETEU Pie roms)

I will describe how I managed to flash PIE RETEU_9.0 version on Chinese RETCN XT1589-05 with stock Oreo. It is a triple hybrid ROM (better than just Hybrid ) In short I installed bootloader part from RETCN 8.0, baseband from RETEU 8.0 and system from RETEU 9.0. Detailed description below.
We will need to download 2 firmwares: RETEU_DS_8.0.0_OPXS27.109-34-21 and RETEU_DS_9.0_PPX29.159-24. Optionally download RETCN_8.0.0_OCX27.138-29-3
first enter to bootloader:
adb reboot bootloader
[OPTIONAL] we will flash flashall.bat included in RETCN_8.0 (I did that, because I've recovered from brick ), You can also skip this point or just flash bootloader part from RETCN_8.0:
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
Then flash Baseband part from RETEU_8.0. DO NOT FLASH baseband from RETEU 9.0. otherwise there is a risk that you will lost your radio/bt/wifi (at least on Sprint/Verizon version). I suspect it should work on retcn version, but I'm not going to try.
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
At the end we flash System part from RETEU_9.0
fastboot flash boot boot.img
flashing boot.img most propably will fail. Do not panic, this is normal. Solution is below.
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system_b system_other.img
fastboot flash oem oem.img
OPTIONAL: I have wiped oem partition in TWRP without impact on system, so you can skip this line if you want (but you must wipe also if you skip)
If flashing boot.img via fastboot fails, flash it through TWRP.
Boot to TWRP
fastboot boot twrp.img
Transfer boot.img to internal memory, select Install, select Install Image, and select boot.img from SD card. When asked, select boot.
At the end wipe user data (You can do it via TWRP)
fastboot -w
And reboot
fastboot reboot
Now You have fully working PIE on your XT1589-05 RETCN I haven't noticed any problems with the phone. Radio/baseband (wifi, bluetooth, calling and network) works flawlessly. What's more, on factory firmware during call network was drop from 4G / LTE+ to 2G / E, now it drops only to 3G / H. If You want, You can also skip flashing baseband part, but I've noticed, that baseband from RETEU_8.0 works better than from RETCN_8.0 (I've tried both) . It has less impact on battery and it won't drops to 2G during call (at least in Europe).

Lolinet moves fw for older devices to _obsolete_ directory.
BTW You can flash just RETEU or RETAPAC fw instead hybrid rom.
