I unlocked the boot loader, then I rebooted my phone, then rebooted into recovery mode. Once I install either a custom rom, or supersu, even if it works to install, once i try to reboot, it only reboots to TWRP. Even when I reboot to system it still does that. Is my phone just bricked?

No its not bricked.. maybe soft bricked, but not bricked bricked how are you flashing recovery? are you using
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
or
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
2nd way is incorrect. Try
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot erase cache
then boot to twrp and flash rom and let me know what happens. Make sure you are using correct gsm twrp if you are on an att phone.
He probably followed these instructions here which direct you to flash twrp to boot instead of recovery just like you said above.
I don't know why he leaves it up there like that but seeing as it's the first link on Google when you search "root att HTC one m8" , he needs to change it cause I'm sure it's causing plenty of headaches.

I did
./fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
because I'm using mac. I didn't erase the cache though. Also on twrp, it says my phone has no os, and installing a custom rom failed to install.

Im stuck in a pickle. I tried to update to neutrino 2.8 but got caught in a boot loop. I followed instructions that worked last time and tried to repair my recovery and it wiped the recovery and all other system data, but fastboot wont reboot or install the recovery image it only wipes the and formats. help please
Your details are not that clear. Either you are not using fastbook incorrect, or you have somehow borked the bootloader/
If the latter, you can try using RSDlite to reflash the bootloader. See the threads on how to unlock your bootloder for these steps. This is as close to going back to square one as you can.
BTW, you might also say how you did this. If just using CWM to install zips it is really hard to screw up your recovery.
I am trying to use fastboot to flash a recovery But when i flash the recovery i get
error cannot load recovery
or
waiting on device
But it will sucessfully wipe and format, just not flash or for some reason reboot the phone
I have it figured out to the point where now i try to flash the recovery and it hangs at
Waiting for Device
I tried everything i can think of
reboot
Re-install drivers
re download file
I have a bit of a problem , i changed virus Twrp for the latest official twrp recovery. Now the phone boots in twrp recovery, when i choose to boot in recovery i get the virus recovery, so i have 2 recoverys on my phone it seems and offcourse android isnt booting . Dying for help here... !
Alright, flashed old boot.img back, rom _(Elegancia) is now booting again. Damn this trickier then i am used too.

Managed to flashed original ruu, unlock again etc.
In bootloader it says: re-locked and beneath a line with security warning. Should be like that after relock ?
Now i have no wifi or network, baseband not showing at settings/info
Relocked again, flashed ruu, wifi and network working so i did flash the right ruu :laugh:
problem solved !
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.

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.

you are doing it wrong....goomanager and recovery tool CANNOT simply flash onto our devices,
you NEED to do ; fastboot flash recovery <insert recovery name here .img>

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.

Yup... But anyway...decided to try that twrp one more time with all-in-one tool, flashed okay but this time the recovery worked and I was able to flash working rom and boot.img. Phone works now, but this was the last time I try to remove twrp.
Hello Friends,
I have got twrp and cwm recovery installed in my phone.When i start my phone in recovery it runs in cwm recovery and when i reboot my phone iit runs twrp instead of my rom.I tried wiping the data through cwm recovery, but with no success.I have got stock jb installed on my phone. Please help.
You saying that phone cant boot ? Try to flash again the recovery you want (Flash the right recovery! For Hboot 1.24 flash ics, for 1.25 flash jb) then go to recovery) Or just flash the stock recovery ? You can find it in the forum.

Sounds to me like you flashed JB recovery on ICS hboot.

You installed twrp to boot partition, that's why it boots directly into twrp (using fastboot flash boot twrp.img) You need to flash TWRP to recovery partition (using fastboot flash recovery twrp.img). Then enter recovery, install ROM, and flash boot image to boot partition (fastboot flash boot boot.img).

thank you for your help.i flash boot boot.img file and twrp got replaced.but i have come up with a new problem now.my phone is s- on and its not accepting the rom which i downloaded from here(2.20.401.5_Deodexed). i thought because my phone is s-on it might accept the original jb rom(ROM_JB_STOCK_HTC_DESIRE_X_INDIA_HTC__038) but still even this version is not installing. so now my phone is not having any rom.what should i do???
No matter how I try to flash the TWRP recovery image to the recovery partition, TWRP gets replaced by the crappy stock recovery!! This is absolutely maddening!
Specifically, it seems that no matter what method to use to flash the TWRP recovery, it gets overriden by the stock loader when the phone reboots.
My bootloader is UNLOCKED and I've installed a custom rom just fine by using the command fastboot boot twrp.img to boot into the twrp image. This is the only way I'm able to use TWRP at all.
I've tried:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Booting into TWRP, and flashing the image over the recovery partition
Flashify to flash the TWRP over the recovery partition from within the rom
Trying to flash cyangenmod's recovery from within the rom (was pretty desperate at this point..)
I've also tried many different versions of TWRP, I can boot into them just fine but none of them stick when I flash them to the recovery partition.
It always says it's successful when I try to flash it, I reboot into recovery, and it boots into the piece of crap EmUI stock recovery screen every time
Anyone have any pointers here? It's not the end of the world but it's pretty aggravating having a completely useless recovery if I'm not near a computer,.
Try using Flashify or Flashfire.
Sadly didn't work. It doesn't seem to matter how I flash the recovery, the bootloader replaces it with the stock recovery when it boots. I'll update the OP to clarify, but thank you
I am having same issue have you found a fix
Have you tried starting completely over? Like, downloading the official MM build (b331, C564D003) from Huawei (Assuming you're on L24)?
On the new, freshly installed ROM, make sure that USB Debugging is and enable OEM Unlock are on in the developer settings.
Then, try flashing this build of TWRP again.
Before rebooting, do a Cache/Dalvik Wipe.
Boot up into the stock rom, then use 'adb reboot recovery' to see what happens next. It should work...
Hi mate,
It'd be easier to help you if you could post a screenshot of your FASTBOOT screen. There will be a line that will say FRP=LOCKED/UNLOCKED something like this.
if it is locked,
you have to install stock rom & enable OEM unlock from setting.
Then relock the boot loader. Then again unlock the boot loader.
For myself, I unlocked my BL unofficially, & this problem occurred . I solved it this way...
Hope it helps.
Cheers!
