Sorry, this is likely a noob question. I am working to flash a new rom on my ATT HTC One (cant stand all the ATT BS). I was trying to get the Android_Revolution_HD-One_12.0 working. I have unlocked the phone, and flashed a custom recovery image (stock image linked here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752) The boot loader now shows unlocked and tampered. Next I attempted to enter the recovery mode, when I select it the phone appears to reboot then shows me a pic of a phone with the green circle of arrows on it for a few secs then pic of a phone with a red exclamation mark. After a few minutes the phone will then reboot and run normally.
I have tried:
1) 'fastboot erase cache' prior to entering recovery
2) adb reboot recovery command
3) GooManager to load TWRP, which it did, but it will not load a rom (says its starting then nothing happens) or reboot into recovery (nothing happens)
All of these result in nothing happening or the same phone with green circle, then phone with red exclamation... I have not been able to access the recovery menu... any other ideas, or am I missing something
Thanks

I think your trying to flash the stock recovery image. You need to flash either TWRP or CWM custom recoveries. GO to this link and at the bottom it will show the commands to install TWRP from fastboot. It will also give you the link for the newest version of twrp, which is 2.6.0.0 i believe,

Exactly as he said above. Download twrp (I stuck with 2.3.3.1 bc 2.5 was having problems flashing ROMs)
Put the twrp file in your folder that has fastbootand launch a CMD window (hold shift and right click, there will be an option to launch a CMD window)
Boot into the bootloader and then fastboot (be sure your phone says Fastboot USB)
on the command terminal type:
fastboot devices -- to make sure your device is being recognized (should say HTXXXXXXXXXXXXXX)
fastboot erase cache -- clears cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (recovery.img is the name of the twrp file you downloaded EXACTLY)
Worked like a Champ, thanks for the help. I loaded twrp and the rom installed without a hitch. This phone us definitely faster now that all of the att crappie is gone.

I've rooted and unlocked my MoPho as of now.
I've attempted to flash joker and romracer's recovery.
However, when I go to check to see how CWM is doing, I only get 4 options:
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
Both of the videos I have watched show other options such as backup's and such. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, and any help would be appreciated!
Which clockwork are you using?
I have used this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216143
and the
AIO root
The standard cwm (The one from market) gives me all the options.
However, when I try to flash jokers or romracers cwm recovery I just get the 4 basic options again.
Fastboot erase recovery and then use fasboot to install the new, one romracers or jokers your choice. If flashing CM9 id use Jokers.
That is the method I attempted to flash both of them with.
I still get the triangle with the arrow and the android by it that I have to press both the up and down volume buttons to show the recovery screen.

Thats the stock recovery.. You ARE unlocked correct? and you flashed it by putting phone into fastboot and with CMD pushing the new recovery?
Yes, I do believe I am unlocked.
Root check shows that I am rooted
Upon boot the phone says, "unlocked"
Yes, I am using the CMD prompt to attempt to flash, following qbking's video instructions.
Edit: Also, the CMD prompt says it has completed the recovery flash.
So you did all this below?
"moto-fastboot erase recovery
moto-fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img"
and it came back saying
"sending 'recovery' (4780 KB)... OKAY [ 0.490s]
writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 0.544s]"
If so id to redownload the recovery.img and try again..
That worked, at first.
Upon first boot up I was greeted with the right recovery module.
When I went restarted to flash my ROM I was brought back to the original Android Recovery.
Edit: Should I flash on first boot up or should I wait until I can get the recovery to stick?
You have to go into the files and rename the stock recovery to ".bak" to make the new one stick. If I can find the link again, I will post it , or you can Google it? I think that's how I found it to begin with.
Thanks, that worked!
I've tried everything I've found to get back to stock recover but I'm always greeted with red triangle. Only way to get to recovery back on line is to re-flash twrp. I've tried fastboot method, flasing new firmware, windroid toolkit... nothing works. I can't even flash CWM. So how do I get that damn leech out of my phone?
[edit]
Can't even flash twrp back on..so no recovery in this phone at the moment. Tried using goomanager, but it didn't do it either.
[/edit]
FIrst of all Which phone do you Have (Int) or At&t , now if you have a stock recovery backup then in that case you can just use fastboot to push the image or use "recovery tool " to push it to the boot partition.
In case you are looking for the int stock recovery for the International version of the HOX+

Stock recovery is not ment to do much , unless you have an official signed package to push. I feel you want to have a functional recovery like CWM , it can give it a go .

Problem is that I've tried flashing TWRP and CWM but neither works. Phone boots up ok otherwise, but recovery is gone. Recovery Tool and Goomanager tells that the recovery image flash was completed but it's not or then something else got effed up. fastboot mode works just fine as the hboot.
Tried using RUU, but that doesn't work either because it keeps telling me that the battery level is below 30% and its at 91%. I remember trying RUU few months ago and I ran into the same problem. Back then I tried resetting battery status but that didn't help.

The fastboot method doesn't work. It does say that the flash was successfull, but there's still no recovery.... and besides, when I had stock recovery months ago, I actually did install twrp with goomanager, not with fastboot.
What I have tried:
1. fastboot flash boot stock_recovery.img with fastboot erase cache (red triangle)
2. fastboot flash boot twrp_recovery.img with erase (phone turns off when entering recovery)
3. fastboot boot recovery.img and twrp_recovery.img (doesn't boot to recovery) (phone turns off when entering recovery)
4. Tried using RUU but that hasn't worked for me ever (always the battery level below 30% error)
5. tried fastboot flash recovery and then flash boot and then erase (and first boot, then recovery) (stock and custom kernels)
6. numerous other ways I cant even remember anymore.
If there only were a rom with all the needed img files, I'd try flash all (or flashing them one by one) but haven't found any.

U tried every possible incorrect things.....and didn't even read Llior's post......
To flash a kernel the fastboot command is
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
To flash a recovery the command is
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
instead of this u had tried to write the recovery file in boot partition...
and the
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
is to enter into the recovery without even having to install it on phone....
and I haven't checked it in HOX+ so better flash the boot.img(Kernel) and recovery.img(Recovery) using the mentioned commands above. and erase the cache....(which you seem to do correctly)...

ok i'll base my assumptions here on you using windows, and you don't have filename endings turned on.
i'm guessing you are renaming the files and adding in .img which is a bad idea, as .img is actually there but hidden. if i'm wrong, then try flashing the recovery with the PROPER file name without touching it.
so for CWMR it would be fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
for twrp it would be ; fastbootflash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-enrc2b.img

I haven't actually renamed anything (just in here to keep it short). And that 1. & 2. was miswritten. I haven't done fastboot flash boot recovery.img but fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
I have tried exactly that file you posted but it's a no go (also tried other twrp versions and come cwm's too as well as stock recovery image).
Ive tried it with All-in-one tool as well...The weird thing is that all fastboot flashes or with that allinone tool there are no errors ever, only successfull flashes.

Hey guys,
i've got the following problem: Unlocking the bootloader, installing TWRP and other ROMs went hassle free and worked flawless until recently.
Now, after having to reflash a clean OOS 2.2.0, it says the bootloader is locked again. TWRP is still installed. When trying to unlock the phone, it just boots to TWRP (which shortly prints an error message, but its too short to read) and shows that the bootloader is still locked in fastboot.
The problem is similar to this one:
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/opo-back-from-the-dead-story-of-a-brick.144155/
In that thread, a solution is pointed out -- namely, this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54251992
The script is for OPO only, so I'm left in the rain. Do you guys know any other way out of my misery?

I'll give it a try. Would you point me in the direction of where to find the recovery.img for that?
EDIT: Phew, did it. Your way worked. I can't even count anymore how often I wiped and reflashed the whole thing in the last 24 hours...
I have exactly the same problem. I have the stock recovery file. Can i just flash it with TWRP ? and stock recovery will be loaded? because i can't use fastboot to load i because its locked

Thanks man, you saved my life <3
My TF201 was fine with stock 4.1.1 installed. I didn't have to enter a password to open it. Pressing power button was enough to reach the home screen.
I decided to install Nougat so I followed the thread "from stock to nougat" step by step (which is a great threat btw) but, of course, something went wrong.
I need help with getting the device out of the current status, which is :
- Only TWRP 2.6.3.0 is installed. I press Down + Power but no '3 icons' appear anymore.
- When I enter TWRP I get asked for a password. I highly doubt that I've (ever) set a password but somehow the device is now encrypted (?) / password protected. I can bypass the password screen by simply clicking 'cancel' but still can't mount anything inside TWRP, not system or external sd card, nor can I unzip / flash a Rom.
Before TWRP (this morning) HairyBean recovery was installed, but I couldn't flash anything there either, it ended always in an "can't unzip" error.
The good news is when connected to Win10 I have a working fastboot and adb connection !
What should be the next step to solve this (and to reach Nougat) ? How can I get the 3 icons back ?
You have the wrong TWRP installed for Nougat v7.1, you have to be on TWRP 2.8.0.0 or higher. You should flash the highest version available to date. LATEST TWRP: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767150802
The BIG question is, what BOOTLOADER are you on? I think you have to be on bootloader version 10.6.1.27.1 to get the TWRP to work.

Last bootloader is from the HairyBean-Upgrade zip :
Upgrade+Hairybean+2.31+(4.2.1)+Bootloader+&+TWRP+( 2.5).zip
But again, I couldn't flash anything either. It all ended with "can't unzip" error.
Right now, I can't boot into fastboot. The device always boots into TWRP 2.6.3.0.
I did the steps on this page : [HOW-TO] Unbrick your Transformer Prime (or not) by Diamondback
- Type: "adb shell"
- You should see a "#" now
- Once you have that "#", please type: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 bs=100 count=1 and press [Enter]
- Now type: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=16 count=1 and press [Enter]
- Exit the shell and reboot your Prime via CWM
- It should not reboot to CWM automatically now. It either boots your ROM or is stuck at the splash screen. If it is stuck, boot to recovery and install any ROM you want.

No. But I can send "adb reboot bootloader", and then it comes up after reboot.
So I've tried 2-3 times to flash recovery with :
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-1-tf201t.img
but it always hangs at "writing 'recovery' ".
The device freezes.
Any suggestions what I should do now ?

Two questions before I totally brick my TF201 :
1) how to I wipe recovery partition ? (note: In fastboot mode, is it the third 'wipe data' icon ? does that wipe recovery, too ?)
2) the page says "THIS LINK IS FOR TF201 RUNNING JB BOOTLOADER ONLY! DO NOT USE IT IF YOU ARE NOT SURE WHAT YOU ARE RUNNING STOP NOW!".
How can I be sure what bootloader I'm on ?
(the text at the top of the page where the 3 icons are says :
HTML:
Key driver not found.. Booting OS
Android cardhU-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "WW_epad-10.6.1.27.1-20130711" A03
Starting Fastboot USB download protocol
WW_epad-10.6.1.27.1 - 20130771 A03 is the JB bootloader, same one I'm on. You just have to wipe the recovery partition using adb command;
fastboot erase recovery
Then
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery c:\TWRP.blob
Once you get the TWRP from the link working you can flash the new ROM using the TWRP recovery console.

I've tried many things, but right now when I try to enter recovery it says in red "unrecoverable bootloader error (0x0000000)"
fastboot erase system <- this end with an OK
fastboot erase recovery <- this doesn't end at all, command never ends
fastboot erase misc <- same as "erase recovery", doesn't end
flashing any blob, or any file doesn't end. Flashing blob says "sending.." and then doesn't continue, it is stuck there.
I also put the zip from inside the Asus blob zip onto an SD card, but since I don't have a recovery I can't start the process. -> unrecoverable bootloader error
So whatever I tried, it doesn't succeed. Either the tablet is stuck (the green RCK icon stops blinking) or it does nothing at all, for example after issuing a "fastboot flash recovery.." command, it just blinks the whole time and nothing happens.
The only successful commands are (so far) "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and "fastboot erase system".
Any suggestions are welcome..
Ok, good news, I have TWRP 3.1.0-1 installed.
I had the SD Card inside the tablet. the "unrecoverable bootloader error" was on screen.
The filename inside SD card is "EP201_SDUPDATE.zip".
So I did a Volume Down Button + Power button long press (as I did so many times before) and rebooted the tablet.. and somehow it recognized the zip file and started updating the system.
So, an Android robot appeared with a scroll-bar beneath it, and the the Android robot changed to a dead one with a red X on it.
After rebooting the tablet again I saw 4 icons, so that is the ICS bootloader, right ? at the top it says now "WW_epad-10.4.2.18-20121122" A03
Nevertheless I just flashed the latest TWRP through fastboot command.
Next I'll try to install a custom Rom.
But before that, do I need HairyBean recovery or bootloader first ?

Ok, good news, I have TWRP 3.1.0-1 installed.
I had the SD Card inside the tablet. the "unrecoverable bootloader error" was on screen.
The filename inside SD card is "EP201_SDUPDATE.zip".
So I did a Volume Down Button + Power button long press (as I did so many times before) and rebooted the tablet.. and somehow it recognized the zip file and started updating the system.
So, an Android robot appeared with a scroll-bar beneath it, and the the Android robot changed to a dead one with a red X on it.
After rebooting the tablet again I saw 4 icons, so that is the ICS bootloader, right ? at the top it says now "WW_epad-10.4.2.18-20121122" A03
Nevertheless I just flashed the latest TWRP through fastboot command.
Next I'll try to install a custom Rom.
But before that, do I need HairyBean recovery or bootloader first ?

You know need to install the JB bootloader but you're fine with TWRP,
The correct bootloader for the ROM is: WW_epad-10.6.1.27.1 - 20130771 A03

Hi all,
I appear to have done something wrong when flashing my device with boombox and flashing twrp. I seem not to be able to access recovery so I can update my boombox rom. I have tried button combinations, I have tried fastboot boot twrp.img in bootloader which just reboots my system, I have tried booting directly from home screen using adb which registers an error and I have tried re-flashing but unfortunately I cannot access recovery.
Any way I can get into recovery without erasing my data?

If you're rooted, give the reboot recovery app you installed after bootloader unlock root privileges.
If not then use the exact same PC ADB commands to boot to TWRP like during bootloader unlock.
I'm confused why you mention flashing TWRP after Boombox. Surely you didn't do that. You already had TWRP.
I am rooted, Recovery reboot just reboots the phone, I have tried to get into twrp by reinstalling but again does the same things just reboots the system after the corruption warning screen. I've also tried to install from the bootloader with the fastboot boot twrp.img command but it simply says waiting for device.
Sorry turns out I was flashing the wrong file from another tutorial, I was flashing 3.1.1 instead of 3.2.1

Then you didn't follow my bootloader unlock and root guide. I never mention that other TWRP, much less link to it.
You're going to have to load into Download mode and use fastboot commands, but you say you couldn't get past flashing TWRP.
Uninstall the LG Mobile Driver if you have them, then reinstall.
1st, reboot into OS, then open up Device Manager and change view to Show hidden devices. You should see a new category named 'ADB Interface' and underneath that 'Fastboot Interface (Google USB ID)'.
If not, you will also see 'ADB Device' for Other Devices category:
right click that to update driver software ---> Browse my computer for driver software ---> Let me pick from a list... ---> Show all Devices ---> Have Disk ---> Browse ---> C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LG Mobile Driver ---> 'lgandbus' ---> 'LGE ADB Mobile Interface'
Download adb/fastboot software, download Joan TWRP 3.2.1 img file and place it in adb/fastboot folder, then send your phone into Download mode:
Open up cmd and type the following after changing directory to Adb/fastboot folder: fastboot devices (see if your device is there), fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img or (whatever file is named).img, then fastboot boot TWRP.img or (whatever file is named).img
