I wanted to bring this in here, as I found a way to enable fastboot to flash recovery!
Quick device info update:
HBOOT-1.33.0010
Radio-3.22.26.17
Ok, first put the phone into fastboot mode. Then execute the command:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Wait for it to reboot in RUU mode. Then, when I execute fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.6.2R.img, I get the following:
sending 'recovery' (4568 KB)... OKAY [ 1.721s]
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 3.036s
So, is there a signed recovery we can launch?
As an update, booting recovery:
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY [ 1.647s]
booting...
hangs here

So I downloaded this Archive.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2064868
and I boot my device to fastboot...
now on my pc when i type:
fastboot flash recovery adsp.img
I get:
sending 'recovery' (6345 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.950s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: image error! (BootMagic check fail))
finished. total time: 0.998s

or if i try:

OKAY [ 0.949s]

What am I doing wrong? I have HBOOT-1.13 and viperones rom on my HTC One S
Im pretty sure you cant flash it through fastboot.
You need hboot 1.09 or lower and flash through recovery.
A friend brought a HTC One Mini in a very unusual situation to me. The phone bootloader is "Locked" and "S-ON". It only boots to fastboot usb mode only. The battery is still ok because I checked with a script that is used to charge in that mode when the battery is low; at least it still has about 3870mV, and the minimum is around 3680mV. The problem is that:
1. When I try to unlock so I can flash a custom TWRP recovery the unlock spalsh screen does not appear, although the unlock command says sucessful.
C:\fastboot-win>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.154s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...
(bootloader) unlock token check successfully
OKAY [ 0.006s]
finished. total time: 0.161s

2. I downloaded this stock file OTA_M4_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_hTC_Asia_HK_3.10.708.4-2.12.708.3_release_351634.zip because it matches the OS version showing on the fastboot screen on the phone. When I try to flash it from fastboot I get this error:
C:\fastboot-win>fastboot flash zip OTA_M4_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_hTC_Asia_HK_3.10.708.4-2.12.708.3_release_351634.zip

Can anyone please render any help? I can follow any instructions to the letter, just that I have never come across this kind of issue before.
Thanks in advance.
Hey guys,
I recently flashed HAVOC OS on my 1+7 Pro.
I got to TWRP by using the boot command, however now I cannot boot to TWRP. When using the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
I get the following error:
Code:
sending 'recovery' (31440 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.697s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: (recovery_b) No such partition)
finished. total time: 0.733s
Then when I try:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
I get the following error:
Code:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.698s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.728s
Is anyone able to help?
Why not try installing TWRP via magisk?? Its easier that way

Make sure you are using the latest TWRP img.
Never flash recovery. Always boot recovery and then install TWRP zip. Have you not read the instructions?
As others mentioned, easier way to recover TWRP is to flash a magisk patch boot.img and flash TWRP zip in magisk.
Thanks for the tips guys, all sorted!

From what I found on the internet, I guess you didn't turn on the setting `oem allow unlock' in developer settings.
But isn't there `rescue party' (a subsystem of androids recovery which shows two options: 1) Try again 2) Factory data reset)?
If it is, just press that Try again button, wait until it boots into rescue party again and then press the Try again button again. Do that 5-7 times in a row (depending on the phone). Your phone should detect that your current slot is unbootable and should boot into the unupdated slot.
You could also try to find the stock image (or whatever image you have currently installed) and flash it within recovery (there should be a button labeled like `update...' or `sideload...' or something). That should also work.
If nothing helps, you could also factory data reset and hope that it works now...
If that also doesn't work, you could research abit about edl (emergency donwload mode) and how to use it to reflash your device.
