[Recovery]Unlocked but cant get a recovery flashed?

Im kinda outta the know, but i see a few Rogers guys that cant root since the 1.94( i think) update but can unlock thru htcdev. Some of you guys are having trouble getting a flashed recovery to stick, so you cant get a rooted rom flashed. Well, there is a VERY simple solution for you guys.
You have your recovery.img in your adb/fastboot folder and your in your device bootloader.
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Ya ya, you tried that, But Wait!
Now
fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img
That WILL boot you into your custom recovery. Now u can nandroid and flash your rooted rom. Once booted up, go download goomanager and install recovery from there. That one WILL stick.
If you ever temporarily need to use the stock recovery, simply put the stockrecovery.img into your adb/fastboot folder and just do
fastboot boot stockrecovery.img
do whatever, after you reboot you will still have your custom recovery, since all you did was boot the stock recovery, not flash it. Also works vice versa
Added:
if you boot a cwm recovery at first steps, after installing recovery thru goomanager go make a new nandroid because twrp wont restore a cwm backup.
Hope this helps out a little:beer:

[Q] Bricked after trying to flash CM10

Hi Guys,
So I unlocked my phone's bootloader, flashed ClockworkMod Touch Recovery and then tried to flash CM10.... something went wrong and now my phone is stuck on the HTC Logo with the red text that says "This build is for development purposes only......".
I have tried just about everything I have read about, and I am still just as screwed. Have I permanently bricked my phone?
Thanks for your help.

First for the One XL it is suggested you use TWRP and not CWM
You can get it here from their website .
It tells you how to fastboot flash it.
If you did an OTA to 2.20 or your device came with 2.20 you probably need to flash the boot.img /kernel
So in your CM10 zip, extract the boot image.
and use fastboot to flash the boot img with the command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and that should help you out.
I also suggest reflashing the rom with TWRP just in case. Hope this helps.

Can adb see the phone?

This is the one xl correct, not the international on x?

If you can get anything on your screen, your phone isn't hard-bricked.
First, which phone do you have? ClockworkMod Touch Recovery does not work on the AT&T One X (One XL). If you tried flashing a ROM through it, it's not going to work and it's probably not booting up because the ROM is corrupted.
I would start with flashing a new recovery in adb. Use TWRP, because even the basic CWM is not supported for this phone and can cause issues.

Can you get into recovery? If so is the SD card mountable?
First time I flashed i had a similar issue where the SD couldn't mount. I ended up having to run the factory RUU after relocking the bootloader & then start again. I waited for a later nightly to come out. Also seems to go better if you flash a different rom first like viper.

Doesn't matter. He flashed the wrong recovery (not for our phone). There is not Touch CWM for our version.

i should really refresh pages before replying

fastboot flash rom

can i fastboot flash a rom or other zip? i've run into a problem after flashing a rom that wont boot and twrp wont mount data or my internal storage so i cant flash anything else. any help would be appretiated

I dont know how to do it, but have heard you can use the sideload feature of the twrp recovery to flash a rom. Or you could try flashing the new twrp recovery if your not on the new one. The new twrp 2.8.0.3 recovery was released on 9-30-14 last I checked its not updated on xda yet but you can get it on the twrp recovery web site which its on the link below, its the newest one on the bottom of the list.

worse case scenario, run the RUU, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then install ROM in recovery.

Honestly, you might as well apply the whole RUU and get yourself back to a working stock before putting another custom ROM back on. Follow the OP in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2873144

I tried every method possible and none worked, I recently cracked my screen so I just took this as a sign and went ahead and got it replaced with insurance. Thanks for all the suggestions

did your recovery constantly reboot into a white htc screen ?

Are you using the correct Vzw version of twrp or cwm?

[Q]Recovery doesnt work anymore and no OS installed (HTC One M8)

Yesterday i tired to install Miui 6 on my HTC One M8, so I did everything usual, backup, wipe, install... but it didnt work so i tried Philz recovery and the installation worked perfectly, but it was stuck in boot screen and MIUI didnt work. So i wanted to restore my backup, but to do this i needed TWRP. In Philz recovery i found no way to flash .img so i took a zipped version of twrp and i flashed it but i when i go into recovery it throws me back into the fastboot screen. I already tried to flash a recovery through hboot (0P6BIMG) but it says: wrong cid number, installation failed. Now my question is how can i get a recovery with s-on? PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!
edit: i cant do if through fastboot usb, cause i cant enable usb debugging

you need specific twrp recovery for your device and flash it in fastboot
You can have custom recovery with S-On

Download This file, install it somewhere and run Revert-2-CM.exe. Make sure you have fastboot drivers installed or it wont work.Disable any antivirus otherwise you'll get false alarms.The program should automatically boot your device to recovery.

im amazing
wow im so glad. i unzipped a rom and flashed each file one by one and it works its fixed!!
