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.

Brick - No OS, Recovery and fastboot problems

Hey Guys, I was wondering if any of you could help me with this....
Background - My HTC One was having issues with the touchscreen, and I was going to hand it in to EE to get it repaired tomorrow. But *naturally* I need to restore it to stock settings first...
What did I do?
1) Installed a ZIP file with the stock recovery/ROM via an AROMA installer from TWRP
2) Tried to relock bootloader, succeeded, but somewhere something went wrong and my ROM got corrupted
3) managed to re-install TWRP via fastboot, but I couldn't get system to mount so I couldn't install any ROM at all
4) Used fastboot to try to wipe system and reformat it, didn't work
5) Managed to remove the tampered flag (still S-OFF at this point though) so my plan was to S-ON and then give it to HTC being all "durr it no werk" and get them to sort everything out on it
6) S-ON'd the phone, only to have the tampered flag appear at this point, so I can't hand it back in and protest my innocence anymore
7) Can no longer S-OFF, install any ROM because I get a remote: signature invalid error for any stock ROM or recovery that I try to install despite my CID being HTC__001 which is the same as the stock ROM I'm trying to push via fastboot
8) Can no longer get into TWRP either
Bottom line - phone is S-ON, bootloader is locked (and won't accept my Unlock_code.bin), tampered flag is on, fastboot won't let me install anything because of a file signature error, No operating system, no working recovery.
If you can help me in any way at all, I'd be eternally grateful!

Since you are now S-ON and LOCKED, you need to use signed RUU
for PN0710000 + HTC__001, try this one:
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-exe/
http://androidruu.com/getdownload.p...31.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe
remember to check MD5 of the download to make sure it's not corrupt
let me know how that goes
oh, and charge your battery

Huawei P9 flashing stock rom trough TWRP

Hey guys,
I have a EVA-L09 and got into a bootloop.
My phone has an unlocked bootloader and I can access fastboot and twrp.
I wanted to flash the full stock firmware on my phone, but everywhere I look I just find the method with the dload folder on my sdcard. I tried it several times, with "force flash" and it doesn't work.
Is there a place I can find flashable zips or IMG files?
EDIT:
I found the program Huawei Update extractor and got the following screen:

What do I need to extract to flash everything what came with the stock rom?

[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)

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?

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.

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.
