[Help] No recovery but black screen

HI,
When press power on phone shows "HTC " logo than goes to black screen,
I can go to hboot menu but whenever I press recovery option, black screen comes again and no recovery menu. I also try to install recovery via adb but result is same.
Code:
C:\Android\android-sdk\platfo
sending 'recovery' (3182 KB).
OKAY [ 2.391s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 2.844s]
finished. total time: 5.234s
This phone is unlock bootloader with htcdev and have hboot version 1.10.0000
Any tips or suggestion will be highly appreciated.
thanks

Seniors, need your help urgent ....

I would download adlx's recovery again and flash it via fastboot with this command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Maybe you used wrong recovery, size looks a bit small to me...

CWM flashing not possible

Hey guys,
my bootloader is unlocked - so far, so good. however though, when I want to flash cwm, I'm getting this result:
C:\xyz>fastboot flash recovery cwmrecovery.img
(bootloader) Variable not supported!
target reported max download size of 31457280 bytes
sending 'recovery' (6632 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.558s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.838s]
finished. total time: 2.397s
so it looks successful. But I still have the stock recovery. When I'm trying the rom manager from the playstore alternatively, I'm getting an error right aways after the cwm download (looks as if nothing happened in between). Error message is simply "An error occurred while flashing your recovery"
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

After you fastboot flash recovery, IMMEDIATELY reboot to recovery. Do not reboot to Android.
Take a backup. Then boot to Android... should stick.

Yeah, I learned that the hard way....

Weird! I had the similar issue as described above. I'm able to successfully flash the CWM flash to the SPH-710 for me. However, can't boot INITIALLY to the CWM boot; It's able to successfully go into normal boot; But Volume-UP, Center button Power button, just blinks the custom boot screen once then the screen becomes blank for some time.
Can't get out of the Stock ROM boot up to CWM;

Bricked my One S?

So I wanted to root my One S and install CWM.
What I did was use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604677 this tool, everything went fine. I used the TWRP recovery, it booted fine.
Tried to install CWM, found out my Hboot was too low (think it was 1.14.0.02).
Extracted the hboot.img from the CWM zip, installed it:
C:\Users\aSCO\Desktop\blabla\fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (5688 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.890s]
writing 'boot'...
OKAY [ 1.390s]
finished. total time: 2.280s
then fastboot reboot.
Now the ühone won't turn one, LED doesn't shine when connected to charger. From time to time it turns on, show the HTC screen (with text 'this is a developer version etc'), then turns back off.
Any hope there for me? What did I do wrong?
EDIT: I managed to get into fastboot, what's the best way to go on from here? The Hboot version number is still the same, is there another recommended boot.img that I could flash?
EDIT2: Managed to fix this, cannot find an option to delete the thread ...
CAN BE CLOSED.

bricked due to S3 vs. S4 CPU mixup?

I have an old HTC ONE S (z560e => S3 CPU as I now know).
1) I managed to unlock the boot loader (htcdev)
2) Probably managed to get root access (r3-ville-superboot was fast and error free)
3) However them "recovery install apps" (CWM, TWRP) still clamied they'd need root
access but "superuser or su are not to be found"; weird, considering success of 2)
4) hence I tried to flash twrp recovery manually via
Code:
fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp-3.0.0-0-ville.img
message was
Code:
sending 'recovery' (11896 KB)...
OKAY [ 2.078s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 3.845s]
finished. total time: 5.931s
And that's it. won't boot anymore. I apparently got the S4 version of twrp-3.0...
Holding in power button for ~10 secs has it very shortly flash the screen and turn on the oragne LED for ~4 secs, then it's black again.
Any idea what went wrong?
Any chance how to save that situation?

XT1039 softbricked, any help or suggestions appreciated

Hello,
Edit: Don't know how or why, but after a couple of more tries I was able to boot the recovery directly and flash the rom. So everything is working fine right now. Admin/mod, would you like to close this thread? Thank you
For some reason I wanted to flash a new rom on my XT1039. In the process I screwed up and got it softbricked. I already had a look at the thread started by alfread56 and although the situation seems quite similar, the offered solutions didn't work out for me.
Right now my phone doens't have any rom installed. Flashing twrp with fastboot suggest everything works allright (using a linux system by the way):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(bootloader) has-slot:recovery: not found
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (8314 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.295s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.303s]
finished. total time: 0.598s
After the reboot and holding the buttons for recovery mode I still get the stock recovery screen. When I select recovery in this menu, the phone shuts down. Because I know holding the recovery buttons on reboot takes some timing, I have redone the procedure of flashing twrp and holding the buttons numerous times. But it never went to the twrp recovery.
Then I tried to boot the twrp image directly with
$ fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.290s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.230s]
finished. total time: 0.520s
Here I made a mistake: I have also flashed the boot partition with the twrp image with fastboot flash boot recovery.img (don't know how much of problem this is).
Booting up the TWRP image works fine. Then I've wiped dalvik, cache, data, internal storage and after several runs also deleted system by accident, and factory reset. When trying to flash the lineage zip everything works out fine for about 1 second, then the screen flashes en the phone is back in the TWRP screen. Too quick for me to see what the output is, but I do see there are not red marked lines (no errors)
I have tried it with several different ROMS (al checked), with several versions of TWRP and with fastboot and mfastboot. Does anybody know a solution on how to get twrp recovery working on my phone, or why I can't flash a rom when I boot twrp directly? Any help is appreciated!
Thank you in advance.
