Good Afternoon,
Everytime I tried to install a recovery I get, "Main Version is older!" and wont let me install it.
Im using the one i download from this page
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/98
my bootloader is unlocked.
How are you trying to install it?
Edit I looked at your pic you cannot install from hboot.
You have to fastboot flash
so use this?

It's not bricked, I think you need to reinstall a recovery. I recommend TWRP 2.5 instead of 2.6 because 2.5 has no bugs. Try to restore your nandroid backup (if you haven't any try one of these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324815 and choose your cid) and then flash SuperSU: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
PS: you can use the tool for installing custom recovery, only choose ''your own recovery'' and click on the recovery image

Dude if its saying not rooted you were supposed to flash the supersu.zip in twrp and then update it then you would have root privleges you flashed a rom without root the supersu didnt you? And it basically bricked it so hold vol down and power boot into h boot go to recovery it will boot you into twrp check to see if you do have that supersu.zip if you have it flash it and you dont have s-off look in that rom package and find the kernel (boot.img) flash it and wipe your dalvic cache and your cache and it should boot into that rom but if you dont have that supersu.zip you mite have to side load it then flash it
sent from my one x+ if i helped you out hit that thanks button

Turn your phone into fastboot mode (holding power and volume down when turning on) and plug it into your pc.
Extract the zip file and run ''Install Boot.img.bat'' and reboot

I had the same problem. I just downloaded the img file from the TWRP homepage and used dd to copy it into recovery.
You have to be rooted and have adb drivers installed to dd.
Install the latest version. As the previous version would hang at recovery sometimes.

Instructions to install:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095825
What version is it?
In the post title it says 1.5.0.0, but when I boot into recovery, it says CWM-based recovery v6.0.something.something
I want to flash a ROM, but would MUCH rather flash via ROM manager, rather than manually, and I need to know what version it is in order to use ROM manager.
Also, I don't have 10 posts, so I can't post in the actual thread yet.
Thanks in advance!

Did you unlock your phone bootloader? If not you cannot flash any custom rom. It'll soft-brick your phone.
For CWM v1.5.0.0 may be his build version.

So your phone bootloader is lock (as all new phone). If you want to flash custom rom please unlock it first, search for bootloader unlock for your phone model in forum.
Any help will be appreciated, i have the HTC One Max 803s.
The device has no OS in it, only can access TWRP v2.7.0.0.
I've downloaded ROMs such as NuSenseSIX, PACT6, CandyKat T6, in this HTC one max forum .. . tried flashing through TWRP with no luck and an error message as below:
"Error executing updater binary in zip ..."
"Error flashing zip ...."
Is there anything else i've missed? What is the problem?
Thanks.

Gonna take a wild guess your boot loader is locked.
Bootloader could be locked. Also, when you tried to change recovery, where you flashing via recovery or using ADB? You should be using ADB.
Solved. thanks guys for the advices, below is what was done:
- unlocked bootloader
- re-flashed new open recovery from the above suggested link
- flashed rom
Bought a stock HTC one M8 second hand the other day..
Still locked and doesn't appear to be tampered with at all. Worked fine for a couple of days but then got a notification saying I needed to restart the phone to install "lock screen updates". Pressed restart, now I'm stuck in a boot loop :/
I've looked up what to do and it appears that I need to flash the stock rom, I've unlocked the phone and am attempting to flash TWRP, it installs fine but when I boot into recovery it starts loading TWRP, with eh HTC logo with writing over it, it then returns to the boot loop, not getting into TWRP :/
Not sure why this is, please help!

My unlocked, S-OFF M8 did the same thing. I had to back down to TWRP 2.8.1.0 before I could boot into recovery. Tried them all starting with the newest but couldn't get them to flash correctly.
*** Found out I had to update my firmware prior to installing the newer version of TWRP.
You might need to revert back to older versions of TWRP to accomplish your goal.

Thanks I'll have a go now and let you know how it goes.
Just tried all the available versions of TWRP, they all went into a boot loop :/
Is it worth turning S off?
The only guide i've found for s-off says you need to do a WIPE with TWRP and then flash an "insertCoin ROM', would this be possible using fastboot?
Thankyou in advance

Sunshine (http://theroot.ninja/) is the best available S-OFF option available. But, you have to be running and have a 'near stock ROM' for it to work. I'm going to have to wait and let someone with a lot more experience than I have help you out. Good luck.

Did you fastboot twrp ? An you r sure your using the twrp for your phone?
Fastboot erase cache
Then install TWRP again by fastboot
