sorry to answer you with more questions, but.....
what is the complete version of your recovery? 2.6.0.0? 2.6.3.3?
Why does it failed? any error message? What partitions did you backed-up and restored?
What is your adb version? you need 1.0.29 and above to use sideload
Code:
adb version
do you have installed your drivers to use fastboot and adb? What does it say in windows device manager when your phone is in bootloader? and in recovery?
What is your computer OS?
What is your bootloader version?

Hi, thanks for the help,
1. Version of recovery 2.6.3.0
2. The backup was successfully created, i still have it, but when im trying to recover it it does not give any error message the log I get above is:
[RESTORE STARTED]
It restores the boot, and data.
then, I see:
Wiping System
Formatting System using make_ext4fs function.
Restoring System...
and then I see a message Failed flashed at the top of the scree.
3. adb version is 1.0.31
4. My drivers worked perfectly tomorrow, thats when I rooted my m7,so today I thought of flashing a custom rom, I took a backup using twrp and just to be sure it was all backed up, I tried restoring it, however it failed with the same message,also today the drivers dont seem to be working after the failed restoration, the device manager shows it as a portable device today when connected in recovery, whereas was showing it as an android device yesterday.
When in fastboot mode, a message showing installing android 1.0 is flashed and the phone also shows connected to FASTBOOT USB, but the fastboot devices command returns nothing and so does the adb devices command.
5. I have a windows 8.1 system.
6.Bootloader Details are:
M7_U PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.57.0000
RADIO-4T.27.3218.14

well wait for tomorrow yeah i know, you meant yesterday...
First you will need to fix your drivers issue.
try this fix:
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
2) Q: I'm using Windows 7 what should I worry about
A: when you issue the command "fastboot boot CWM.img" (now only in CWM/TWRP restore method) there's a high chance drivers won't correctly install

}
follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone anyways​
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didnt install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:
Code:
C:\ADB3>[B]adb devices[/B]
List of devices attached
HTxxxxxxxxxx recovery
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if it doesn't works, try different usb ports, different cables even another computer (best would be a win 7 computer, not 8.1). make sure you are not using any usb hub, connect phone dirrectly to computer, usb 2.0 ports preferred.
then when your drivers will be fixed. flash twrp 2.6.3.3 (anyway almost all newer rom required at least 2.6.3.3), clear cache and boot in recovery. try to restore the backup again. if it still fail, you'll be able to push and flash a rom to your phone.
also post the output of ''fastboot getvar all'' except imei and serialno when your drivers issues are fixed.

Got it working, turns out the drivers were fine, you have to switch the HTC Sync Manager once and the drivers start working properly.
Thanks for your help.
Would be grateful if you can give a guide to choosing a rom to flash ( odexed or de-odexed)
Thanks !

There is no guide for choosing a rom here, because rom comparison threads aren't allowed. Rom preferences are always subjective, you will need to find one that fits what you need.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one#romList
always read the rom OP carefully before flashing. Some roms have specific requirements. (i.e using a specific recovery, or s-off requirement for GPE roms)
Hello,
I while ago I decided to root my HTC to get some extra stuff. I used a guide on youtube that seemed to be reasonably well made and followed everystep of the process. But before I could root it I had to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP recovery. I got the latest version and proceeded to the next step, where I encountered my problem. After flashing the recovery everything seemed to be well except that my phone wasn't actually rooted. I decided to redo some of the last steps. This is where things get a bit tricky. I have done this quite a while ago (maybe 3-4 months) and don't exactly remember the steps that I repeated but I think I've also flashed TWRP a second time, as well as some other steps. And when it came to the part where I needed to use the recovery I found out that the recovery doesn't work. I can't press anything on the screen, I can however press the lock button and lock the device but when the *slide to unlock* appears it stops working again. I was running out of time and decided to leave it for another time but time has passed and I never really got the time to tinker with it any more since university started and I'm more busy then ever. This has left me with no ability to root or even update my phone.
This brings me to today, when I restored my phone completely forgetting what has happened. It got back to Android 4.1 and I can't do anything about it.
I hope to sort this out and finally root the phone. But even getting rid of TWRP to the original recovery so I could just update my phone would be very helpfull.
Thank you very much.

Post a fastboot getvar all except remove the imei and serialno?

The goal is to get a working recovery, which ever one it would be I don't really care. I just want to be able to update the firmware.

you can flash twrp 2.6.3.3
download the file and save it in the same folder where you have installed minimal adb and fastboot
then open the command prompt and with the phone in bootloader/fastboot mode enter these commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
What do you want to achieve then? Custom rooted rom? stock rooted rom (latest version)? or you simply what to root the rom you currently have?

no just flash the rom from twrp recovery then you can root it if you want.
So aftter downloading the Android Revolution and wiping the data, I tried installing the ROM.
However it keeps booting into recovery mode. I have no idea how to fix this.
The phone tries to boot up normally, but fails to do so. It restarts and boots into recovery. (TWRP 2.5.0.0)
I have tried deleting installing a few times. Where I cleared both the cache and dalvik cache.
Still nothing. Is there any way to get another ROM onto my phone now? My computer doesn't recognize the device anymore.
After the installation it says complete, but shows an error: "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed"
after this it says: "installation was succesful!" and tells me to do 1 full system boot before flashing mods.:crying::crying:
"Update, I found out I used a rom designed for M8 and not M7.
If anyone could help me getting ADB to work and a rom I can flash and pretty much a tutorial. I would be super grateful
So I found a m7 rom. But when trying to push it using ADB it takes a really long time and ends in protocol error.

Here is one problem. You won't be able to flash any recent roms using twrp 2.5.0.0. Update your recovery first: https://dl.twrp.me/m7/
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
make sure you have the latest adb version (1.0.32) using the command:
Code:
adb version
If not update your android sdk-tools: https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other
Also make sure you have the latest htc drivers installed on your computer
With the latest twrp and drivers you'll be able to transfer a rom to your phone using MTP protocol when booted in twrp main menu (simply drag and drop your file from your computer to your phone storage).
If using newer roms (android 5.0.2) your phone must have a 7.xx.xxx.x firmware installed on it. Older firmware running new roms cam have issues. To determine your firmware version, use the command "fastboot getvar version-main" or "fastboot getvar all"
Finally pushed the files to the phone.
But after installing my phone still keeps entering recovery mode (twrp).

afaik, not with 2.5.0.0. If you can't see the device when in bootloader / fastboot usb mode then you have drivers issues. make sur eyou have latest htc drivers installed. If needed download htc sync. This will install htc sync and the latest drivers. Then uninstall htc sync (but don't uninstall the drivers). You don't want HTC sync on your computer because it will interfere with fastboot / adb connectivity.

My computer can see the device only in recovery. Everytime I'm in the bootloader/fastboot menu it dissapears from the device list in ADB.
Is it possible to flash the phone while in recovery?

you won't get any adb connectivity when booted in bootloader / fastboot usb mode. ADB only works from a booted rom with usb debug turned on or from a custom recovery. In bootloader you must use fastboot commands. To see if your phone is detected by your computer when in bootlaoder / fastboot usb mode, use the command "fastboot devices"
If your phone isn't listed with this command, please post a screenshot of your Windows devices manager with the phone connected and booted in bootloader / fastboot usb mode. Also need to know what is your bootloader version? 1.44/1.54/1.55/1.56/1.57 or 1.61 ? You can see this info when booted in bootloader mode

Please setup everything on this computer (HTC drivers + Android sdk tools (adb and fastboot), this will be much easier to work with Win7 because of your 1.44 hboot. Later, once your hboot will be updated, you'll be able to use your Win10 computer without any problem but for now better to work with Win7. Once you got everything installed on your win7 computer, boot the phone in bootloader / fastboot usb mode and use the command "fastboot devices" to see if your phone is detected. If yes then use "fastboot getvar all" command. take a screenshot of this command output and post it here (censor the IMEI number and the SERIALNO number before uploading your picture). Don't update the recovery for now.

My windows 7 computer keeps asking for a "android 1.0" driver, even though I installed the HTC one m7 driver package downloaded from HTC. I also tried installing HTC Sync, but it doesn't seem to help. Also it only shows "Android 1.0" while in fastboot so I assume this is the fastboot driver?
one more thing. I can't get it to show it's connected to ADB while in recovery.

Take it to Huawei customer service center. I lost one of my phones coz it had the same problem. Tried everything but couldn't revive it.
Took it to a shop to repair and he messed it up.
Connect to pc or laptop and open command prompt to adb folder and type fastboot devices if devices detected then we proceed http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/guide-flash-variant-version-firmware-t3506404.

If your PC does not make a sound when you connect your phone to it then you have to first install drivers.
I am sure that is the case here, your PC is not recognizing your phone.

So fastboot is working... Do you have an unlocked bootloader?
Fastboot screen is simple or with red error message?

Make a dload folder in SD card And copy update.app of the latest firmware to it.
Then, flash only recovery and boot of the latest firmware for your phone. (Extracted from update.app which you copied to SD)
After flashing above image files, type
Fastboot reboot
Quickly disconnect from pc and press and hold power + vol up + vol down until screen turns on. Let go of power but keep other two pressed for five, six sec more.
Lemme know how it works.
if stock wont work then try custom rom , install custom recovery and install custom rom .

Try the 15 seconds adb and fastboot driver if you haven't already

You mean minimal adb ? or can you provide a link?
Connect the phone in fastboot mode (LED = blue) and open the device manager. Do you see the phone under "Other Devices" or "Android" with an exclamation mark? Then you need an ADB/bootloader interface driver. Get this for example:
https://developer.sony.com/file/download/xperia-xz2-driver/
(Yes, XZ2! There is no official XA2 driver)
Unzip it somewhere and force install the driver:
Right click on the device manager entry from above, "Update driver", "Browse my computer...", "Let me pick...", "List/show all...", "Have disk...", browse to the folder from above, open the selected .inf file and install.
Fastboot should work now. At least that's how I got it to work on a new PC.
BTW, just use "fastboot devices" to check whether it works. If your device doesn't appear, you don't need to try other fastboot commands - it won't work.
I have this problem, when installing twrp to my Sony Xperia XA2 (H3123), I am trying to install several versions of Twrp, for example: twrp-3.2.2-0-pioneer.img, twrp-3.7.0_9-0 -pioneer.img, my Sony is on Android 9

I agree with faraway, if i remember correctly when i had this issue i didn't unlock the bootloader.
I typed a specific number in the phone dial app and it said that the bootloader is unlocked, however there is another step you need to take that i had overlooked, you need a bootloader unlock code.
The code is free, not like with chinese spyware huawai they want your money for the code...

What is your end goal? To flash a custom ROM like LineageOS? Then you can temporarily flash a recovery image to the boot partition:
fastboot flash boot <recovery_filename>.img
You don't really need TWRP for this, just use the latest official LOS Recovery:
https://download.lineageos.org/pioneer
Also see: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/pioneer/install
Or do you want to "permanently" install TWRP on an existing system? Then you need to directly boot into TWRP and install it from its GUI:
fastboot boot <twrp_filename>.img
See: https://twrp.me/sony/sonyxperiaxa2.html
I haven't tried the latter on the XA2 yet though and don't know how permanent that installation really is. It maybe gone after an OTA update.

Booting a temprary image did not work when i tried it, most likely because the bootloader wasn't unlock.

Independent from the bootloader status: you can't flash an image directly to the recovery partition on the XA2/Pioneer (like he tried, see screenshot) because such a dedicated partition doesn't exist on this and other A/B devices. Instead the recovery is built into the boot image.
That's why you have to use fastboot flash boot instead of recovery.

follow the next steps you mentioned use: fastboot flash boot recovery from LineageOS, and my phone went into a constant boot shutdown and restart, then this message appeared
and the bootloader is open
Shutdown the phone after flashing the recovery image (it doesn't seem like you did that). Then hold Volume Down + Power to boot into recovery.

I get that the recovery is only for a temporary boot, when i tried it, it didn't work but i can't remember what the error was.
