Hey all,
I got my HTC One yesterday, and this morning i went to root the phone. I followed the steps in Hansoon's AIO toolkit and successfully unlocked the bootloader then flashed the CWM recovery. Then, when attempting to install superuser, i could not get my phone in to recovery mode. Every single time i either select recovery mode from hboot, or attempt to boot in to recover from my PC via the AIO my phone would boot as normal, and not enter recovery.
I assume that my recovery flash did not work correctly, but i could be wrong. Does anybody have any advice?

never mind, i solved my problem. I re-installed clockwork mod. Now for another question, how do i delete this thread? Thank you!
Hi, I did the update here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50341726&postcount=85
And removed twrp. Obviously with my lack of knowledge I
made a mistake. Now I have stock recovery and the nabi freezes on the boot logo.
Any chance someone could help with getting it booting again or getting twrp back on.

If Jellybean is installed, then I think this is what you need to install TWRP for JB onto the Nabi:

Once TWRP is on, your options for recovery are much wider.

Did you do everything else in thread or just that post? i.e. Did you update the bootloader too? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50356162&postcount=91
You will need TWRP one way or another. Use the ICS version if you didn't update the bootloader, and JB if you did.
Thanks for the help guys. I didn't realises until after that I needed to update the bootloader too, I'm guessing that's where my troubles start.
Just going to have a look at your links now, I know I could get twrp back on when it doest boot.
Thanks again.
Tried nabilab for ics and jb and both are no longer detecting my nabi.
When the nabi tries to boot the circle around the logo isnt even moving.
Still stuck with the Nabi, if anyone could help I'd really appreciate it. All I can do with it at the moment is boot to stock recovery.

So you installed the 2.2 ROM, but didn't update the bootloader. You have the stock recovery on it right now.
Can you get TWRP back on it?
Can you get into fastboot mode by pressing power and vol down?

Edited -
Yes put 2.2 on it but didn't update the boot loader. Tried to get twrp back on using nabilab buts the tablets no longer being detected .
Yes, I only have stock recovery. When I select fastboot protocol, I then get bootloader, continue, reboot-bootloader, reboot and power off.

OK now you need to put TWRP back on it with fastboot when it's in that state.
Look in the TWRP thread, I'm mobile right now, but basically you need to open a command prompt where fastboot is located and then
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Thanks so much for getting me out of this mess. Twrp is back on so I should be ok now with a bit of trial and error.
I had stuck on ASUS logo, after I do a lot of researches, a lot of trials and errors for 4 hours. I managed to fix them and I wanted to share how I did here.
Easiest way to root lollipop WW-12.2.2.27
use KingRoot from http://www.kingroot.net/down ,It is android app which will run exploit to root the device successfully.
Not Kingoroot Kingoroot was unable to root. Towelroot v1 works only on Kitkat, but not lollipop.
To boot into fastboot mode
adb reboot bootloader
OR turn off device, press and hold power and volume up, until asus logo appear, and stuck at asus logo, that is fastboot mode, to exit fastboot with buttons, press and hold vol down and power button.
To restore stock recovery and ROM after you install TWRP or CWM, or unbrick device
First, note that stock recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59055653&postcount=29, does not work for me (maybe everyone else as well).
I flashed it using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, when I try to boot into recovery using, vol down and power, then select enter recovery, it stucks at asus logo.
First you need to flash TWRP_2.8.7.0.img from http://quarx2k.ru/asus_padfone_s/recovery/
using fastboot flash recovery TWRP_2.8.7.0.img It will show that flashing FAILED (remote: can't flash unsigned image), it fact, it was succeeded, now you can go ahead and boot to recovery.
Note that this version of TWRP, and 2.8.6.0, and CWM cannot successfully flash stock zip ROM, it may show errors, or when you try to boot the device, it will stuck at ASUS logo. But now, we are going to need TWRP_2.8.7.0 to unlock bootloader.
Let's unlock bootloader
simply flash http://quarx2k.ru/asus_padfone_s/CrowLock_RC3.zip with TWRP
You can check bootloader status with fastboot oem device-info
Before unlock :
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
After unlock
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
Let's flash stock Kitkat Firmware
You have to unlock bootloader becuase, well it is complicated.
The only TWRP recovery that can successfully flash stock .zip firmware from ASUS is http://datbak.com/links/padfone_s/asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img
But this recovery has another bug, if you flash recovery and try to boot to recovery, you will get blank screen, but TWRP is indeed working, you touch the screen and it vibrates back. Anyway you have tofastboot flash recovery asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img because it will be needed later for upgrading Kitkat to Lollipop.
If you don't unlock bootloader, you will not be able to boot into recovery directly without flashing to recovery partition Now let's get into fastboot mode, and fastboot boot asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img, by booting into this recovery directly via fastboot without flashing it first, you will not get black screen bug of this recovery., if you boot to this recovery from recovery partition, you will get black screen as I told previously.
Now let's flash downgrade to 4.4.2 firmware from http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Mobile_Phone/PadFone_S/UL-ASUS_T00N-WW-99.99.99.0-user-wipedata.zip with TWRP 2.7.1.1.
This is for only WW SKU, not TW SKU. And all userdata will be wiped.
Browse all firmwares and there is TW SKU downgrade here : https://www.asus.com/Phone/PadFone_S_PF500KL/HelpDesk_Download/
Ok, now reboot to system, and yeah, it finally boots now.
The recovery is still TWRP, not stock one, let's upgrade to lollipop and restore stock recovery using TWRP. Simply place http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Mobile_Phone/PadFone_S/UL-ASUS_T00N-WW-12.2.2.27-user.zip to root of Internal Memory, unplug usb, press confirmation in notification to begin install lollipop. After device reboot, it will stay blank screen for 5 minutes, don't worry, it is updating to lollipop, after upgrade is done, it will reboot, and recovery will be restored to stock recovery now.
Bootloader is still unlocked.
Another method to root is
fastboot flash recovery asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img (recovery is restored to stock now remember)
then flash https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip?retrieve_file=1 with TWRP.
To lock bootloader again, boot into fastboot
then fastboot oem reset-dev_info
But I wouldn't recommend you to lock bootloader, you will lose ability to boot to TWRP recovery without replacing stock recovery, unless you are going to send your device to service center and claim warranty.

It wont, using files from this thread might brick the device.

Hi im a noob so ill get straight to the point.
You said "Note that this version of TWRP, and 2.8.6.0, and CWM cannot successfully flash stock zip ROM, it may show errors, or when you try to boot the device, it will stuck at ASUS logo."
I have two question as follow:
1. So can i use twrp to flash stock rom or not?
2. Because I'm still at Kit Kat, I dont need to unlock bootloader and flash Kit Kat firmware right?
3. If so, Can I follow the tutorial until flashing the TWRP? but which TWRP that I need to install?
4. All these tutorial to unbrick needs to be done before you brick your phone right? What should i do if i already brick my phone?
Kindly advise.

The only TWRP recovery that can successfully flash stock .zip firmware from ASUS is asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img
If you are bricked, but you can still access fastboot mode, then you can unbrick and reflash stock firmware to your phone
First of all, Thank you so much for this GUIDE
Here are my doubts, and hoping for confirmation from you. My Padfone S is running well on latest kitkat firmware, rooted with SuperSu and TWRP 2.7.1.1 installed. Now, I wished to upgrade to Lollipop firmware.
Can I use the TWRP 2.7.1.1 to clean install the lollipop firmware instead of the stock recovery because I wished to wipe date, cache as well as SYSTEM before flashing?
My concern is I afraid if wipe the SYSTEM then the TWRP 2.7.1.1 would not be able to flash the Lollipop firmware successfully. Do I need to unlock bootloader in my case?
If I can do so, then can I still use the Flashify to flash TWRP 2.7.1.1 on the lollipop firmware, or I must use "fastboot flash recovery TWRP_2.8.7.0.img" method.
Thanks in advance for your kindly reply.:laugh:
Bootlooped
When I am upgrading my SuperSU and it requires a reboot,it automatically boot looped itself.
What should I do?

Hi thank for your guidance on how restoring stock rom . Im having trouble detecting my phone when in fastboot mode, as you said to boot up into fastboot hold vol up and power and we will stuck at asus logo , but after i connect my pc and using adb cmd fastboot devices it didnt detect any devices and cant proceed to next step when i need to fastboot boot twrp 2.7.1.1
Currently im using twrp 2.8.7.0 , i want to use stockcrom because i need to use my padfone station (since any custom rom is not compatible with padfone station), any suggestions for this problem ? Thanks in advabce
Hi All,
I have unlocked my HTC M8 eye with the help of HTCDev site and installed TWRP from playstore. I restarted the phone and went into Fastboot mode and using adb installed TWRP image file for this phone (v2.8.0.3), before it I have saved SuperSU zip file on my local storage. From TWRP in recovery mode I installed SuperSU everything goes good and its shows Success. When I reboot I shows "Your device does not seems to be rooted? Install SuperSu now?" When I gave install now it shows error msg "Failed to copy su binary in to /system/bin/". I tried re-flashing it and tried to install some other versions of SuperSU but none worked. After this phone goes re-booting and stuck in HTC logo screen till I use shortcut keys to enter recovery mode. In Fastboot mode my laptop was able to detect my phone from command prompt and also my internal storage.
I believe I can get back my phone on working. Please help me, I really need my phone back .
If you can still get into recovery, then you can install a custom rom and go that route. Keep in mind, if you are just HTCdev unlocked and you flash a custom rom, you will have to use fastboot to flash the boot.img.
If that doesn't work, then you should be able to find the RUU for your phone and restore it to stock and redo the custom recovery and root. For future reference, just flash the SuperSU zip. TWRP doesn't normally detect that correctly and trying it's method often makes things worse, as you experienced.
