Put your phone into fastboot.
Download ClockWorkMod Recovery: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img
Flash clockwork mod recovery in fastboot with this command: fastboot flash recovery C:\where\ever\you\put\the\file.img
Then from fastboot select recovery.
Wipe data/factory reset
Install zip from sdcard: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/update-cm-7.1.0.1-NS-signed.zip
Do you have a custom recovery?
If yes, then download a Rom to your computer and either a) mount your to computer and transfer the Rom to your phone or b) push it to your phone with adb.
After that is done wipe everything (except sd card) and flash the Rom you just transferred to your sd card. Reboot and enjoy.
If you do not have a custom recovery then download one (search) and place it into the same folder on your computer as fastboot. Then plug your phone into the computer and boot to the bootloader. Run this command ( fastboot flash recovery insertname.Img ). After this do the steps I wrote above.
If you have any questions about the above steps then search you will find the answer. If you unlocked your bootloader than your computer obviously sees your phone and adb works well. If you can get your phone into the bootloader then I don't see any reason how your problem cannot be fixed. This leads me to believe your not quite putting forth the effort to search.
Check the stickies in this section and have fun.

How about instead of making a thread with no one helps me in capital letters and bumping it over and over again. You actually put info in your thread. Like what you did. Examples. Unlocked via fastboot with sdk flashed so and so recovery and so on
Or you could have just searched the forum/read another thread about how to fix a phone stuck at google logo because of user error.
Frankly you are lucky anybody even bothered to help you at all.
Rooting- error: cannot load "flashboot flash recovery r1-modaco-reco... .img"
I'm rooting my HTC One S the first time. And I was stupid and thought that HTC One X Clockworkmod flash would work.
Now I know how flashing and clockworkmod installing works but before that I accidentally flashed the One X command: "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.7-endeavoru.img" and now when I go to recovery it gives me a red text and nothing works.
I searched everywhere for a guide to remove it and did not found. So I thought I could flash it over with an One S flash, but then when I entered the command: "fastboot flash recovery r1-modaco-recovery-clockwork-touch-ville.img" It gave me this: "error: cannot load 'recovery r1-modaco-recovery-clockwork-touch-ville.img'. My phone is connected perfectly, when I type 'fastboot devices' it shows me my phone is there.
So I think this is not a big problem for developers. Can anyone tell me what to flash or do to get rid of the One X recovery? Otherwise I just have to live with a phone with unlocked Bootloader and no access to root
Do you have the IMG I the directory from which you are running fast boot?

Why don't you dl goo manager from market, open it and open menu and tap on Install OpenScriptRecovery and let it install twrp--although, I guess if you aren't rooted yet that won't work
Did you try fastbooting the cwmr from here--
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Did you check the md5 on the modaco recovery before flashing
At the red text did you try hitting vol+ or vol- not sure which one takes you to stock recovery. What does red text say--
Did you hard reboot with holding down vol- and power at same time then release pwr after screen goes off and continue to hold vol-
Not sure what is wrong, just giving some ideas--

Tyvm for your reply,
the cwmr for HTC One S does not exist any more on the page you gave me. There's only a blank page if you click on it
yes I did hard reboot and the red text says: This build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply my lead to legal action.
I tried the superboot from this site: htt p://w ww.m odaco.co m/to pic/352493-how-to-root-your-htc-one-s-for-windows-mac-and-linux/
This just brought up the recovery message again...
Then I tried flashing these files:h ttp://ww w.m odaco.c om/topic/353006-interim-clockworkmod-touch-recovery-for-the-htc-one-s-stock-download/
no help.
Any other ideas I should try?
However the flashing went through this time and there were no error, but the recovery is still f**ked.

I flashed the "openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-ville.img". Didnnt change anything :/
sorry to hear that, not sure what else to do, so you still have onex recovery?
even if you run an ruu, i think you still have to flash the stock recovery first. haven't read up on that much, as never needed to run one
Don't know if trying to flash the stock recovery will help. I have the original one at home, but not sure if that is what they still call stock recovery with new ota's having come out
If it cannot load it, you probably spelt the name wrong. rename the image file to recovery.img (make sure it isn't .img.img) and flash that. Make sure the file path is correct! (e.g fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\Me\Desktop\recovery.img)

no no, the flashing finished successfully. I entered "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-ville.img" and then it flashed without problems, but in the phone it didn't change a thing. If I enter recovery then there's the android icon with a white background and under it is the red text.
But keep guessing, maybe I really am doing something stupid wrong
When I go to Fastboot USB mode with my phone then I open the command prompt and firstly type "cd c:\CWM" (the folder where my flashing files are). Then secondly I type "fastboot devices" (just to be shure). And thirdly depending on what I am flashing I type "fastboot flash recovery name.img". I have tried "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-ville.img", "fastboot flash recovery r2-modaco-recovery-clockwork-touch-ville" and "fastboot flash recovery ville_recovery_signed". Every one of them finishes successfully but doesn't change anything in the phone. I already have recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.4-ville.zip and CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip in my phones directory to install root when I get into the recovery. In the C:\CWM folder in my computer are these files:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
fastboot.exe
(these where exctracted from fastboot.zip)
openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-ville.img
r2-modaco-recovery-clockwork-touch-ville.img
ville_recovery_signed.img
the text won't disappear with unlocked bootloader, so that's ok.
Try to boot into bootloader hit fastboot reboot bootloader and then choose recovery. It can take a while to boot into recovery.

fastboot ->reboot bootloader ->bootloader ->recovery. Absolutely no change, It took half a second to bring up the "HTC quietly brilliant" logo and about two seconds for the red text to appear under it. No buttons work after that and I just have to hold the power button down to shut it down.
And by bootloader is unlocked!
As stunner said above it can take a while to boot into recovery, how long have you waited?
Give it a few minutes... Also you could try flashing stock recovery, it is distributed in the all-in-one tool and also in paulobriens posts about superboot. Then run a RUU.
But my best to would be to try fastboot booting a custom recovery, "fastboot boot cwm.img".
If this is the thing where you go int recovery for a millisecond and then back to the 'red text' screen (you have to watch carefully to notice), you should try erasing your cache in fastboot mode.
fastboot erase cache

It's gotten a little confusing and some suggestions are being repeated. I wonder if the android icon you are describing is the stock recovery symbol. At that screen have you tried to press vol+ or maybe volume-. I forget which one takes you to stock recovery. May want to check on that.
Also, have you tried typing "fastboot boot recovery" to go straight to recovery, bypassing htc restrictions
Here is very early stock recovery--not sure if it is still considered "stock" with new versions out now--I did mention that earlier--
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yhrq0tia8512rj9/go28kc1NeP/ville_recovery_signed.img
I did have issues fastbooting recovery before. You can as mentioned try fastboot erase cache before fastbooting recovery. And change the name of your recovery to just recovery.img before you fastboot.
I assume you have nandroid backup on phone and copies of it and sdcard backup on pc.
I think when I had issues with recovery sticking it was my N1 and I typed "fastboot erase system" first, then fastbooted recovery. Then wiped all and restored nandroid. I am not sure we can do that on the 1s with no s-off. Someone else may know.
Can you access sdcard where you could reformat it fat32 thru a windows formatter program. Of course copy all to pc first. Sometimes sdcard formats help things you wouldn't expect it to.
Some folks have reported formatting works better thru phone on the 1s, maybe because it is an internal card. I did it once and think I had to redo it thru phone. But, if it gets recovery working, no big deal.
All these are suggestions and as the devs say--at your own risk--
I thought you said you said in first post, phone works, just no root capabilty. If that is true it should be fixable--I hope.

Okay I waited for 10 minutes, nothing happens. I've even tried to hold down all the button combinations(with the three buttons) for a few minutes.
I've tried flashing everything and fastboot boot just takes me directly to the recovery with the red text. I flashed both the recoveries in the all-in-one tool.
As I know absolutely nothing about RUU(only what the letters stand for) then I'd rather not do that because I read from some threads that RUU has quite a high chance to mess up your phone. Or if you direct me to a tutorial that u insure me that is 100% good then I could give it a go : D
[
I think I have made the same mistake of flash recovery, but I can not get into cwm recovery, I only appear for 1 second the recovery, then restarts and returns to the operating system. SD card, all changes are discarded when you restart the phone, which is also only if I try to install or remove some utility. Can not install any recovery, even if fastboot works well and looks real mind install the recovery but when I reboot, it returns to its previous behavior, with recovery not working. I tried to install the recovery in every way, from fastboot, from All in one with quickroot, but none of these operations has changed the state of the system.
Unfortunately you can not install a Stock RUU because the bootloader unlocked and the recovery is not the stock, and especially not when there is no tutorial to follow to bring this situation to the ONE S, to its original state
Hopefully someone will be able to find a solution to your and my problem.
One option you guys may need to entertain, if applicable, would be to exchange phones with Carrier. Worth a shot--
I have not heard of this exact issue, but most comments say if you can't boot to recovery you are bricked--
Has anyone tried "fastboot boot recovery" command in terminal window?
So, I went through the temp root/S-off routine with WeakSauce and Firewater. Then flashed TWRP over adb. Rebooted to TWRP which asked if I wanted to install SuperSU. I said yes. Rebooted again and came back up in TWRP. Cannot boot to system. Rebooting always takes me back to recovery. Help would be much appreciated!
Oh, and I can also boot to the bootloader, if that helps.
Can you load a rom to the internal memory or on the SD card and then flash and install a new rom?
Same Here

Hey man the same thing happened to me last night, i thought i bricked my phone. I personally dont think the adb method of getting twrp onto the phone is working right now. If someone knows what we are doing wrong plz let us know.
Here is how i fixed it:
1. Put phone into bootloader, put it on fastboot, plug it into computer. You will see it change to "fastboot usb"
2. Download and do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708686 . To do this go back to your console (terminal or cmd), navigate back to the folder with adb in it, and instead of running the adb commands just type in " fastboot flash boot M8VZWbootInsecure.img ". its easiest to put that boot img in the same folder as adb and fastboot. once that is done you just need to reboot the phone and you are golden.
3. Problem is, when you do this you can no longer get back to your recovery, you get a screen with a red triangle and exclamation mark. I thought I bricked my phone lol.
4. Doing a alternate soft reset will get the phone back to normal android ( hold down power and volume up for 10 secs)
5. to fix it complete use the flashboot method of copying over the recovery onto the phone as shown here http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/226 . This is essentially the same method as in step 2 its just copying over the twrp.img into the recovery section of the phone.
By doing this I was able to get TWRP to work and be able to boot normally to system. Hope this helps.
I think the command you run has something to do with it. "Fastboot flash boot nameofrecovery.img"
Almost certain the command has to be "fastboot flash nameofrecovery.img"

My understanding is that there's two ways of getting into a custom recovery in adb:
1: "fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img" this will flash over the previous recovery whatever that was. It will stick and you get into the new recovery either through hboot or a ROM's advanced power menu.
2: "fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img" this will boot into the recovery temporarily and allow you flash things. Once you reboot from that temp recovery it will boot using whatever kernel (or other .img file in this case) you have flashed into the boot partition.
The syntax for flashing is "fastboot flash <partition> <name-of-file-to-flash-to-that-partition>"
The syntax for booting an image is "fastboot boot <name-of-the-file-to-boot>"
It sounds like you mixed those 2 together and typed " fastboot flash boot nameofrecovery.img" so when you go to boot your phone now the only thing your phone sees to boot is the recovery. That's why your solution is twofold.
1: Flash the kernel to the boot partition: "fastboot flash boot nameofkernel.img" (sometimes these are just named "boot.img"). This will load the Kernel, modules, and ROM so that your phone will boot properly.
2: flash the recovery to the recovery partition: "fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img" This will permanently install your custom recovery so that you can go back into it next time you want to flash ROMs, make/restore backups, etc.
You should be good to go and will likely never make THAT mistake again. Ask me how I know...

I didn't use fastboot load TWRP, I used the adb method shown on TeamWin's project page for the Verizon M8:
***********
Download - ADB / Terminal method:
Download the newest .img file from here
Download the above file. Save it to the root of your /sdcard directly (internal memory only) and rename it to twrp.img
Launch terminal emulator or connect to your computer and open an adb shell, then type the following:
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43
Then reboot to complete installation.
***********
Thanks all for the other suggestions which I am about to attempt!
I had this happen to me on my Asus EeePad TF101. It seems that TWRP has a bug that prevents it from setting a "boot to system" flag on some devices, causing it to always boot to recovery.
The solution for the TF101 was to reinstall the stock boot image, which appears to align with the instructions already given. Good luck! I know the terrible feeling I had when this happened to my tablet...

Not only did that save my bacon, it had the added benefit of getting me the insecure kernel which I had forgotten about since going through the whole root/S-off/unlock bootloader/insecure kernel routine with my Droid DNA quite a while back.

The fastboot command to flash your recovery is:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
where "recovery.img" is the name of your recovery.img file on your host computer. Don't use "fastboot flash boot recovery.img", as I believe this will flash your boot partition, not the recovery partition.

if you flash to anything but the recovery partition your in some trouble.
same goes for anything like this, make sure you know what that .img is and you trust it. someone could have renamed an hboot to recovery and you end up flashing an hboot to your recovery partition because someone was careless with naming of files.
So I need help... I'm stuck in a bootloader loop. And every time I try to do this fix, terminal keeps telling me this:
error: cannot open 'M8VZWbootInsecure.img'
Any ideas?

This is incorrect.

additionally, since you can boot into TWRP, have you tried sideloading a rom?
(in TWRP, go to ADVANCED, click SIDELOAD... i think you need to swipe to activate... then from terminal: adb sideload nameofROM.zip)

Hi all,
Well I love my phone, just love it! BUT having bought it from China, like many I am stuck with the Chinese Model and firmware. Huawei Australia have assisted in unlocking the bootloader, now I am ready to root the phone. BUT, I have not had any luck sourcing a root method for it. Can someone please PLEASE help.
I am desperate as it keeps booting me out of Google Play Services, rendering my Huawei watch useless (ironic huh)
Any help would be appreciated. Email me if you like [email protected]

That sounds to easy, only question, how do I do that? Is there an instruction manual or guidance anywhere?
I have flashed other phones in the past but this one is stumping me.
I have looked for some of these methods only to be completing surveys that inundate me with spam and phone calls, only to be left without the downloads that I needed. Did I mention how much I love my phone?
Thanks again
Michael
Managed to root my phone.. even when I have updated the EMUI to B018, but there was an issue.. I tell you below
Step I follow from Chinese Forum below...
Preparation step :
1. download the tools from
https://www.mediafire.com/?9drsdo2f6hn4j34
2. Extract the content to your local. Note there are two folders :
- Folder 1 is for the tool that contains the TWRP recovery.img and the adb/fastboot tool,
- Folder 2 is for the original recovery
3. Copy the SuperSU zip to your phone (either in internal or external memory of your phone)
Installation step :
Step 0, unlock your bootloader (search around on how to do it)
1. Since I am using mac, somehow I don't need to install any driver, but if you using windows, install all the driver yourself
2. Enable the developer mode in your phone, and after that enable the usb debugging
3. Turn off your phone, and boot to fastboot (in off mode, connect the phone with your PC then press Volume Up and Power Button together)
4. Since now your phone has been connected to the PC, go to that Tool folder in respective of your OS, then overwrite the recovery with TWRP with fastboot command (install custom recovery) *note : for mac just add "./" in every command
- check the whether its connected : fastboot devices
- install TWRP : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. Restart your phone and boot to recovery
- restart : fastboot reboot
- after reboot, turn off your phone
- reboot to recovery : turn on your phone by holding Volume Down with Power button
- Now you are at TWRP
6. Install SuperSU (root)
- Install SuperSU zip that has already been copied to your phone using TWRP (use the Install mode)
7. Reboot the phone
- Use reboot function in twrp
8. Profit
Theoritically the above things works but I have some issues following the above :
- After step 4, after recovery being flashed with TWRP seems like my phone Boot Partition is being overwritten too
- So when I rebooted the phone, it boot to TWRP instead
- So I tried to re-flashed the recovery with the original EMUI rom recovery (go to the folder "2.P8Max_Official_Recovery(For_restoration)" to find the original recovery.img). Also note that in the this folder, the adb and fastboot is only for mac. The one for windows use it in the tools
- This is done by going to fastboot again, then do command : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- This time using the original recovery
- Now when I rebooted the phone, it goes to EMUI recovery, then I just clicked restart to system or something
- After this, everything fixed, and I have SuperSU install and phone rooted
You can follow the above, but do it at your own risk, I am not responsible if your phone brick hehehe..

I am so so sorry and a little embarrassed to ask this.
1. I am using the And it sees my phone
2. I am not sure how to fastboot.
3. Do I install the file "install this file with install zip from twrp" onto my device? (p8 max)
Again, I thank you.

I will try this when i get home. I am always confused by the process. I am to old for all of this
Michael
BTW you will get in a Bootloop if your dont know how to exit I would not root your phone!
Sadly, this does not work for me. I did everything you suggested and in the command window I get nothing
I know the risks ( I think)

Thanks so much for your concern, I know. But I love the phone but need to make it more Android (Google) friendly as it has Chinese firmware which keeps ending any relationship I have with google play services thus rendering the phone useless (almost)
You have been so helpful

I did all you suggested and I could not get it to I renamed the file and as you can see I did a command entry and can see my device which is in faboot and rescue mode (phone unlocked) then I type the command you suggested fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and I get this message
I just do not know what I am doing here

The recovery img file link did you downloaded it?
You must download it and but the recovery.img file in fastboot folder
Then rename it to recovery.img.
And open cmd orders from fastboot folder .
Just type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You must download the recovery file into the same folder that you ran your command and in your case "p8 max root". Make sure that the recovery filename is recovery.img instead of some other names.

Hello,
I have twice but now I am stuck on the Huawei logo and powered by Android screen. I can boot into Stock Bootload but no longer TWRP
even though I have reflashed recovery twice. Just chinese language and the EMUI screen with the three options
I think it's time to unroot and flash a new system and do it like i posted, then it will work!

Hello, i was on android 10 open beta 2 with root
But while upgrading i ran into some complications and now i am on OOS 10.0.1 but dont have root
I tried to install twrp but after pushing through adb the screen says "fastboot mode" and stays there. And after typing fastboot reboot the phone reboots into home screen
I also tried to patch boot image of oos 10.0.1 but it enters into fastboot loop

What happens when you're in fastboot and boot the twrp file?

Your description sounds a bit suspicious, like you aren't doing the right method. Or maybe you are not just using the right (precise) terminology. There is a lot of confusion by folks on how to boot/install TWRP properly on this device, so that is why I am pointing this out, and hope you can clarify more specifically so we can then help you.
You don't need to adb push the TWRP.img file to boot TWRP, and you don't "install" TWRP.img using fastboot either. You should be trying to fastboot boot twrp.img, with that img file on your computer.
You do need the Magisk zip on the phone (and adb push is one way); as well as the TWRP installer zip if you intend to install (not just boot) TWRP to the phone. The TWRP installer zip not completely necessary, if you want to just flash Magisk and achieve root (not have TWRP installed on the phone).
Also, are any error messages showing up on your command prompt on the computer, and if so what does it day exactly?
Might be best if you cut/paste your fastboot commands, or post a screenshot of your PC, so we can see exactly what commands you used, error messages, etc.

ok let me try to be as specific as possible.
First i put the "twrp-3.3.1-4-guacamole.img" file in the adb folder and "twrp-3.3.1-4-guacamole.zip" in the internal storage of my phone
Then i switched off my phone, pressed vol up and vol down and power button to enter fastboot mode
i connected my phone to my pc
opened cmd window in the adb folder
typed "fastboot devices" to check if connected
then "fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-4-guacamole.img"
on pressing enter , i get the 2 ok messages on cmd window and at that point my phones screen goes completely black with "Fastboot mode" written in the center
And stays there that way
now if i type "fastboot reboot" the phone reboots to the home screen
Hope i made it a bit clear
Sorry cant post screenshots at this moment, i am on vacation and dont have my laptop with me
You're using the wrong twrp image. You have to use the one for android q. Unofficial build of twrp for android q is available on the development section. Get that image, fastboot boot twrp.img and then install magisk 20. You don't need to install the twrp zip. You can just boot the image from fastboot whenever you need a custom recovery.
If you absolutely want the recovery, then you can flash it (remember to get the zip for android q) from magisk and then do direct install of magisk then reboot.

Good catch by the previous user, that you need to use an updated TWRP version.
Unofficial version -70 from the following thread is what you want (if you haven't found it already): https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...nt/recovery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t3931322
