[Q] Unable to access recovery with up to date CWM and/or TWRP - HTC One S

Hi.
I have previously had CM11 working very well on my HTC One S. To get the carrier unlock to work I had to revert to a stock ROM to apply the unlock code. Now, I am trying to go back to CM11 but facing difficulties.
I used an RUU (RUU_Ville_U_H3G_UK_1.78.771.5_Radio_0.16.31501S.19_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258982_signed) and that works fine but I lose root when doing it. I still have s-off and super CID.
Anyhow, if I flash TWRP recovery 2.4.1.0 I can get into recovery and flash SuperSu but cannot then flash CM11.
CWM will not let me flash CM Recovery and if I try a newer version of TWRP or any version of CWM Recovery my phone will go to the bootloader screen thereafter but when I select "Recovery" the phone just starts normally and I cannot get into Recovery at all.....
Please can someone give me some help / advice / pointers.
My head is spinning a bit so hopefully I'm missing something simple.
FYI Bootloader says:
*** UNLOCKED ***

Fastboot seems can't find PG58DIAG

I tried several method that call for install various *.zip from Recovery mode but none of them fixed the problem
Any help or suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
start fresh ...follow this guide...to the letter
PS: dont say adb is not working ..you can do everything from bootloader ..i suggest you to read the guide once/twice/thrice
Thank you very much ganeshp! Once I replace recovery to latest version 4EXT I was able to boot into stock ROM.
I take it from there

[Q] Stuck On Recovery And Phone Wont Boot

I had an unlocked bootloader and the following stats :
EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT- 1.14.0002
RADIO- 0.19as.32.09.11_2
OpenDSP- v29.1.0.45.0622
eMMC-boot
I tried to flash the clockwork recovery.. and the phone would not boot at all.. it is stuck at the original stock recovery screen. I have tried a couple of different methods. But i am not sure why none of them are working out. And another way i though of updating it was to flash all rom files using fastboot. but i cant seem to find a system image.
What should i do ?
Thank You
Is your bootloader still unlocked

im not sure why u choose CWM over TWRP. since CWM has issue with Evita. If you want to ask some people in xda-forum, they might able to solve your problem step by step and how to fix your phone.
my suggestion is to flash TWRP from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677447
im a noob, so i cant help you futher than that. hope that helps.
try running this command in fastboot "fastboot erase cache" also you can only flash recovery if you have unlocked bootloader. rohan32 cwm is pretty good but you can mount usb though so i would stick with twrp for now.

[Q] Please help! One XL constant loop with red writing

Hi all, I was trying to root my HTC One XL (UK if that makes a difference) and its current status is dire to say the least...
I had unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp on it before, however I stupidly did a factory reset before a rom was successfully flashed on (roms had installed on it before but some like ParanoidAndroid stuck in a boot loop and some the touch screen was unresponsive...
Currently the phone can only sit in the HTC boot screen with the red writing 'For development purposes...'
It can be booted into the stock recovery with these details

The problem here is that you've done ABSOLUTELY NO RESEARCH, and as a result have no idea what you're doing.
S-ON + Hboot 1.14 and above, requires that you "fastboot flash boot boot.img" where boot.img is extracted from the rom you're flashing for most ROMs. The ROM thread's OP will usually indicate otherwise. This can be avoided by attaining S-OFF
AOSP ROMs touchscreen won't work with 2.14 Hboot unless you downgrade the touchscreen firmware as an update to the touchscreen firmware was done on this hboot but Source has not yet been released. touchscreen downgrade/upgrade thread is a sticky in original Android development section.
People take the time to create guides and stickies just so you can ignore them. Thanks.

Stuck after unlock bootloader and CyanogenMod...

Hello,
I'm really hoping someone can help me out here... I just unlocked the bootloader on my Sensation using the Hasoon2000's AIO tooklit, which went fine.
I then flashed ClockworkMod Touch Recovery, again which seems to be working fine.
My mistake I think was when I formatted all partitions from within CWM and then installed the stable 9.1 CyanogenMod... now the phone won't boot beyond the swirly CyanogenMod boot animation. No reboot loop, just stuck on the boot animation.

I've tried re-locking the bootloader and flashing the only O2 stock rom I can find (RUU_Pyramid_O2_UK_1.34.206.1_Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_196476_signed.exe), but this results in errors. Maybe this is an older version of the rom that was on there?
I'm guessing the phone is locked to O2 uk because it has a CID O2*****
Not sure where to go from here... I've done a lot of searching, but can't see how to get over this.
Hopefully someone can help me.
Many thanks.

Hi,
Look HERE
Unlock your phone again,and follow this thread.
The key is to install 4EXT recovery,format all partitions except sd card,and enable "Smartflash" just before flashing the ROM.

S-ON means you'll have to manually flash the "boot.img" contained in the rom zip via fastboot (Fastboot flash boot boot.img) after you installed the rom via recovery.
