Imposible to flash a custom recovery!! - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have a really serious problem.
First, I unlock bootloader. Then I tried to flash TWRP recovery. But Its imposible, all drivers are OK, the flash done succesfully. But when i try to enter to recovery, the device was freeze (see the image).
Only i can flash TWRP ok if i flash before COLOR OS. With CM I cant, any ideas?

Can you boot to fastboot and flash a new recovery? try a different one.. maybe your TWRP download was corrupt...

I try with, 4 differents TWRP, with CWM and Philz. Only works Stock..

Try to reunlock your bootloader and then try to put a new recovery on.

I have the same problem he does, and I can confirm, locking and unlocking the bootloader doesnt do anything. I tried flashing several Stock images and the stock recovery and that didnt do the trick either

Did you try using toolboxes to flash the recovery via flashboot, or root and download rom manager to flash a recovery?

We cant root the device because its neccesary to have a custom recovery for this

Did you go into Developer Options and uncheck the 'update cm recovery' box?

I downloaded in HTCMania, spain forum.
Named: openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-bacon

Yup, unchecked the Box as well, I downloaded the Recovery from an XDA thread and from the official twrp page. Tried Philz as well, didnt work.

Flash root with Philz, then try using TWRP Manager from the Play Store to install TWRP.

This is the first I tried. Root and install TWRP Manager. And didnt work again.
And, I tried to flash Sensei Kernel, and OPO bricks. I had to flash all again by fastboot mode...
I will try with franco kernel

The same for me. I just bought Oneplus One, updated OTA to 38R and tried flash TWRP and CWM recovery by ToolBox or directly by fastboot, but the new recovery doesn't work. It is flashed successfully, but when I reboot into recovery, my phone freeze. I will try Philz recovery now.

Recovery and H-Boot

Hello, first of all I'm a super newbie on this A have a bunch of questions.
-I tried to root my HTC evo 3d 3 or 4 days ago and i did it without any issues. Then installed Cyanogen Mod 10.4 (jellybean) on my device. Now i want to update it to Cyanogen Mod 11. Does it woth it? or should I stay in my current version.
-I read the threat about Cyanogen Mod 11, it seems i need to install TWRP first, my current recovery mod is ClockworkMod v6.0.0.0. Is there anything else before i install TWRP or can I just downlaod it and then install like Clockwork?
My H-Boot is 1.49.9999

Did you flash your recovery via fastboot? Easiest way to flash TWRP 2.7 will be using "flashify" from the play store. it has got a built in feature to download the right recovery for your phone, and automatically flash it after download
May be you just read the (whole) thread about your suggested rom before installing it "blind"

Helo, its me again
I tried the flashify, i was just able to flash TWRP 2.7 on my phone. But i need 2.6.3.0 (or any other recovery with SELinux support)
but cant downlaod it via flashify. So i downloaded it manually and tried to flash by using cmd and fastboot. Then I just get the "too many links" error. Can't fix it, cant find a solution that works on me..

If that doesn't work its getting a little complicated. Means you have to install a <4.4 rom and install 4ext updater (installs 4ext recovery) from plystore and then you ca install >4.4.
Updating HBOOT will not help!

Have you tried flashing stock rom? Since you are already in fastboot mode, easy to give it a try.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img,
fastboot boot recovery.img ,
and copy the rom to the storage.
Just reboot into recovery and flash a ROM.

There's nothing to suggest that you've lost any data, just clean flash a ROM and boot it up.

Because your kernel overwrites the recovery with the one that' s within the kernel, because it is a kernel with recovery.
Flash only TWRP .img file via adb.
Go to TWRP' s official page and download the latest TWRP for your device.

Managed to Soft brick my S6

So, I a getting the Samsung boot logo after trying this http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-0-t3094423
I have a 920W8, this happened after flashing the modem and bootloader that it recommended. I have tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66351355&postcount=11733
I cant get into TWRP (I got into it once, automatically right after install), but I can get into Odin, but the stock firmware fails on the system.img install.
Nevermind, managed to flash up to 6.0.1, but now I can't get TWRP to stick without bricking it, so no XtreStoLite.
Try to flash twrp using Flashify app. It'll allow you to flash and then boot right into twrp and flash whatever rom you like. I had the same issue as you before and this did it for me.

No love unfortunately, even with flashify it just stalls at the boot screen. I can use Odin to reflash Chain-fire to fix, but I can't do anything beyond that?
