[Q] need help !!!!!! plz teams win recovery restore of stock rom not booting up

I tried to go back to stock using the team win recovery backup I made of stock Rom. The team win recovery restored the backup successfully but when booting up the HTC sign comes on with the red letters and then stays on a black screen for ages and dosnt boot the orgibial stock I restored.
my battrry was under 50% at the time also I did managed to flash a custom Rom after I am currently using mysense rd+ jv
My hboot is 1.25.0002
Any suggestion why the restore of my orgibal stock Rom isn't booting
?
You need to fastboot flash your stock boot.img
Inside your TWRP nandroid folder, you should find boot.emmc.win
Flash this file in fastboot mode with command
fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win
Thankyou for your help I will try it later

Yes you must flash boot.img in fastboot. S-ON devices aren't allowed to flash boot.img in recovery, no matter if you install or restore a rom.

Need help booting into TWRP

So I accidentally booted up my device after wiping my ROM (I was going to install CM) and now I can't get back into TWRP to even access my backup. When I hold vol up I go into Huawei's eRecovery, on vol down it goes into the bootloader. I can't seem to get into TWRP anymore and fastboot doesn't seem to have the option to boot into recovery like adb does.
Found the stock ROM that I needed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/repository-honor-5x-file-depot-t3328288
can you
Code:
fastboot boot (your twrp.img)
?

I'm not sure what I did but I got into TWRP but after wiping everything from fastboot (because I thought I would try to flash a ROM from there) so now I don't have my backup. Now I'm looking for a lollipop ROM (preferably stock) because I never got this to marshmallow and CM13 isn't flashing.
@BryanTheStrange
you should wipe first, then flash the ROM and GApps from TWRP.
I think you can restore to stock using dload folder method. There is a thread disscussing it.

[RECOVERY][ROOT][TWRP] Root and TWRP 3.2.1 for Maze Alpha X 6/64

Here the version of the recovery TWRP 3.2.1 for Maze Alpha X 6/64
Please test it and tell me if it works.
How to flash:
I Fastboot method (must unlock device) :
1- Reboot your phone in bootloader mode : adb reboot bootloader or phone off, press and hold at the same time POWER and Vol+ buttons
2- Connect your phone to your computer with adb/fastboot already installed
3- Unlock your bootloader : fastboot oem unlock (it will erase you data, only data)
4- Flash the recovery : fastboot flash recovery recovery_maze_alpha_X_twrp_321.img
II SPFlashTool method (no need to unlock device, but can not works for you) :
1- Download latest version of SPFlashTools.
2- Execute it and load the provided scatter (the recovery image must be in the same folder as the scatter and must be renamed to recovery.img) then press "Dowbload" button
3a- windows SPFlashTools users : phone off, press VOL+ and connect it to your PC (running SPFlashTool and waiting for phone connetion)
3b- linux SPFlashTools users : phone off and connected to PC , press VOL+ and POWER while your PC is running SPFlashTool (with sudo) and waiting for phone connetion.
If needed here my TWRP backup of Maze Alpha X
It contains all partitions except nvram and data.
Unzip it in your SDCARD in the folder /TWRP/BACKUPS and run TWRP to restore the partitions you need.
How to root:
1. Boot into TWRP and choose first "change language" and choose your language then press the "cancel" button while asking you for decryption password for data
2. In your PC download the Magisk-v15.4.zip and put it in your SDCARD (not internal storage!)
3. Install the Magisk-v15.4.zip from the SDCARD
4. reboot and install the MagiskManager apk
I have test it myself (with fastboot method) in a friend phone (MAZE ALPHA X 6/64) and it works great.

I have tested it on an Alpha Maze X 6/64, it works great.
Simply flash a recovery cannot brick any thing!
Even if the flashed recovery is bad (it is not the case of this TWRP), you can always boot Android.
You have to do correctly things and no worry.
Some infos :
1- Unlocking the bootloader will wipe the phone data (only user data, not the system)
2- Before flashing recovery you can first test it without flashing it : fastboot boot recovery.img
3- while testing it and if it works great, do immediately a full backup using the running TWRP, or at least boot, recovery and system, in an external SDCARD
4- If the test is OK you can now flash the recovery : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5- if for some reason something were wrong, you can always boot the recovery again (as in step 2) and restore your stock recovery (you have backup is step 3) or the whole rom
Version II don`t work, SPF tool needs a preloader, think from the original ROM

Thanks for Your answer.
But certainly no. I did all you wrote before but doing a backup. When I started recovery via fastboot it worked very well. So I thouhgt that there's no need to do a full backup. Then I flashed recovery and after restart it booted immediately into recovery. Now I'm not able to start android. So I think I need a stock rom for flashing my Alpha X with a complete stock rom . Afterwards I do Your way and do a full backup before flashing TWRP.

I am almost sure that you have flashed the recovery image in the boot partition !
You have do that fastboot flash boot recovery.img instead of fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
To have your phone working, just flash the attached boot.img : fastboot flash boot boot.alpha.x.img
@ dreambo
Do you have the preloader.....img from the Alpha X?

I am uploading the complete TWRP backup of Maze Alpha X (except nvram and data) just unzip it in your SDCARD under TWRP/BACKUPS folder, do a restore from TWRP and choose the partitions you want to restore.
@ dreambo
Thank you very much, but i need the preloader file for SP_flash Tool to flash TWRP, because SP_flash don`t flash recovery without this *.img file
Hope I can find it into the TWRP Image

It is not mine, it is the property of a friend : all I know it is a 6/64 one. Before restoring do a full backup of yours.
Try to restore only boot and system partitions and see if it works.
Have you try to flash the boot.img using TWRP ?
Try also this : fastboot boot boot.img
