Hello all,
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I've got a AT&T M8. Last week I rooted it and converted it to a GPE M8. I am brand new to rooting, but found some videos on YouTube (Sakitech's videos). Everything worked perfectly, and in about 1.5 hours I had a GPE M8. The problem is that I cannot boot into TWRP in order to back-up the phone. When I try to boot into TWRP, I get this picture:

The phone then boots normally after a couple of minutes.
Any ideas of how I can get into TWRP?
Thanks.

I do believe that is the stock recovery image or image that is displayed when you dont have a recovery installed. Either way you didn't flash the TWRP recovery properly. Sorry, try again. Use the toolkit.
What I did with my M7 was download twrp on my PC and the transfer it to my ABD I had made with my various drivers and such. From there I put my phone into bootloader mode and then pressed the power button to get into fastboot. Plug in the data cable and then it will say fastbootusb. Then go to your folder on the PC and open up a command prompt window. CTL and right click of the mouse. Then I typed in "fastboot flash recover recovery.img". Make sure that you have renamed the twrp.img file to " recovery.img". That should get you into twrp recovery the next time you try. I hope I got that right for you.

Thanks for the responses.
I'm showing my newbie stripes here, but how do I flash the TWRP recovery again? Do I need to do anything special, or just go back to that particular step in the video that I used? Will it wipe my phone?
Also, quicksilver53, I apologize, but your post went way over my head. I'd need step by step directions for that.
Well, I installed TWRP again, and it seems to work now. I am currently making a backup. I discovered that installing TWRP does not wipe my phone. Phew ... didn't want to have to reinstall everything all.
Thanks for the responses.
Sorry for that. I'm happy you got it sorted out.

I have the HTC One X+ from ATT. The other day I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the device and have TWRC installed. I was trying to get cyanogenmod and placed the correct zip file for that and gapps on my phone but was having trouble getting my computer to recognize the phone when trying to flash boot.img. For some reason it wasnt going well and I tried to restore... and basically I am at the same point where the phone can start to boot but gets stuck at the htc one screen. I have already tried wiping and restoring and all of that. So at this point I installed the htc driver on my computer which I thought worked but my computer still isnt recognizing the phone in twrp. I have been trying to sideload any rom at this point but I cant do the ADB commands because my computer will not recognize the phone.
I would greatly appreciate your help!

Good evening everyone. I have a bit of a conundrum and I'm hoping the community can help. A buddy of mine recently gave me his HTC One (M7) to fix. According to him, he attempted to install the latest GPE rom for the phone (his is the Tmobile branded version) and it failed to install. Afterwards it would only bootloop on the HTC logo screen. I took a look at things and here's what I found:
When I first boot the device I see this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I can hold down the volume key on reboot and get into the bootloader. This is the screen:
Initially I couldn't even get into recovery. After a bit of futzing around (and installing the HTC drivers) I was able to use fastboot to push CWM touch 6.0.4.6 onto the device. After that, I was able to fully boot into the CWM environment and navigate around. However, when I try to do basically anything that touches the partitions, the device reboots. I grabbed a screenshot of the mounts and storage page:
The top option which you can't see says mount /system.
Initially I thought I could just copy a ROM.zip over to the device and flash it, however, when I attempt to mount the USB storage, it doesn't do anything. I also noticed two directories that I'd never seen before in CWM, the /firmware/mdm and /firmware/q6. It appears that somewhere along the line my buddy attempted to install a different radio or a rom he was using attempted to. In any case, I can mount up the various folders with no issue except for the two /firmware folders. I just get an error. Any time I attempt to format any of the other folders, the phone simply reboots.
I tried also to install a ROM.zip by sideloading with ADB, but the device isn't recognized by my computer when I do so. I've also attempted to flash TWRP recovery, but any time I try to boot into it, it just bootloops immediately.
I've spent days scouring these forums and google in general to no avail. I'm sure I'm missing something simple or misunderstanding some kind of direction, but at this point I'm so frazzled that I might end up chucking the phone out the window. The end goal here is to just end up with a working, booting phone in any way possible. Once I get it to that point I can handle the rest.
Thanks in advance.

the phone dosnt have an OS on it and its still on hboot 1.44 somehow.... but you can recover it with a otg cable and a flash drive. you cannot mount the One through recovery. but with an otg cable and a flash drive you can place flashable files on the flash drive and flash them through recovery to get the phone in a working state.
Edit:
this should do the trick. CLICK MEH! you will ahve to obtain S-off ofcourse. jsut put a stock ROM on it then use a s-off method then proceed to do GPE conversion.
Thanks for the idea. I've got an OTG cable on the way from Amazon right now, so I'll give it a shot when it gets here and report back.
My phone is an HTC One M8 running Android Revolution HD and TWRP Recovery. I recently downloaded Multirom thinking that I could hold multiple roms just by downloading the app. The app told me to reboot into Recovery mode to finish installation, and I rebooted into recovery. The only roms that were available to boot in was Internal so I just chose that. Turns out Internal will always get me stuck into the htcONE boot screen even after 1 day of waiting. If I try to go into bootloader mode and go into factory reset, it brings me back to the MultiROM menu everytime. I cannot even access the phone from the computer to edit the files. Please help, thanks!
@sangothemango
When you say when you try booting into bootloader do you mean your recovery as far as doing a factory reset?
Try power+volume-up till it goes dark and as soon as it goes dark just hold volume-down till the actual hboot/bootloader comes up.

If you can get the above example type of screen to come up than you can save your device. Hopefully your familiar with adb/fastboot cause that's what's going to fix it.
Unless you already have S-OFF ?
Yes I can get into that screen, but if I choose anything, it says going into recovery mode and then nothing happens.

I was really dumb and wanted to unroot so i decided to flash a stock_recovery.img to my Huawei LYO-L01. When prompted where to i selected boot without looking it up first :crying: Now when i open my phone i get a black screen that says
Android system recovery <3e>
LYO-L21C479B102
Reboot system now
apply update from ADB etc. etc.
I can still boot into TWRP and have a folder with some recovery files from when i rooted my phone.
How can i get my phone back into a bootable state?
I imagine i can just get a fresh boot img form extracting this update.app i see everyone taking about but i dont know where to get an update.app. Can someone point me towards a download?

I'm kinda desperate to get my phone working agian so any help is appreciated
Can you tell me what makes this problem complicated?
On a side note, what is the intended use of stock_recovery.img and stock.img and where am I meant to flash them?
ok i now see i WAS meant to run "flash recovery stock_revovery.img" or something to that effectin the console but i guess i have bigger fish to fry right now
oh wait i had a backup PANIC AVERTED
Appreciate anyone who can help! I was tooling around trying to unlock my AT&T locked SD1 but was basically unable to get it working. So I decided to undo everything with a factory reset and relock the bootloader...and that's when I bricked my device.
I am unable to go past the bootloader screen and unable to either Start the device or enter Recovery Mode.
Not sure how else to proceed.
So, is the bootloader currently locked?
Does fastboot flashing unlock work?

Unfortunately, no. Adb is no longer recognising the device and I'm stuck in boot select screen unable to even Start or enter Recovery Mode.
Bootloader is currently locked.
Not that it does a lot of good, but you can see fastboot?

This is what I see.
I think you are out of luck until the firehose programer for the DUO out. I got the same device like this. Maybe boot.img is broken for the device, or recovery partition got messed up. Basically the device have to restore from the ground up.
Sadly MSFT does not provide a restore solution other than the recovery image which the device have to enter the recovery mode at least.

What in the name of all things holy?! Man, I'm gonna have to look deep into this and figure it out. Problem is, I am not nearly as smart as that guy which is itself gonna be a huge challenge. That said, I do have all the patched imgs on my desktop...so perhaps there is a way back. IF I can figure out the process as laid out here.
Thanks for this pal at least it helps.
