[Q] HTC One (M7) can't flash recovery | "target reported max download size.."

Hey guys,

I'm not sure if I have soft bricked it or not, but I can't flash a recovery .img or a .zip file onto the device. I am trying to return to stock, I have a stock ROM that I downloaded from HTC1Guru.

I have tried fastboot method (with and without erasing cache) to no success, adb doesn't recognise it, even tried to rename the recovery image to recovery.img, doesn't work

fastboot getvar all:

(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.56.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 4A.23.3263.28
(bootloader) version-cpld: None
(bootloader) version-microp: None
(bootloader) version-main:
(bootloader) version-misc: PVT SHIP S-ON
(bootloader) meid: 00000000000000
(bootloader) product: m7_ul
(bootloader) platform: HBOOT-8064
(bootloader) modelid: PN0714000
(bootloader) cidnum: TELST001
(bootloader) battery-status: good
(bootloader) battery-voltage: 3853mV
(bootloader) partition-layout: Generic
(bootloader) security: on
(bootloader) build-mode: SHIP
(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT
(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: dirty-09ff2ded
(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11
(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0

The bootloader information is this;

*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***

M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.56.0000
RADIO-4A.23.3263.28
OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909
OS-
eMMC-boot 2048MB

This is the response I get with fastboot methods;

target reported max download size of 1496092672 bytes
sending 'recovery' (9434 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.287s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.726s]
finished. total time: 2.016s

Help! How can I fix this issue and get it back to stock? Thanks in advance for the help.

You said you tried renaming the recovery to recovery.img img is the extension name, just rename it recovery

I just renamed it to recovery. I didn't add the .img in the name

I have tried that recovery verison as well, since I know it works on the device. I get the same results

The recovery doesn't run, I can't boot into recovery

No, the ROM I have doesn't go through the initial setup, it simply stops responding. I have had other ROM's installed before.

did you erased cache after flashing the recovery?

Code:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

then boot in recovery

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img fastboot erase cache fastboot reboot-bootloader

I have tried that yes, same issue...

Next step will be to post the output of your fastboot getvar all (remove IMEI) and get a stock recovery and flash, and then try to get in the recovery.

If still not working, then get the firmware.zip matching your device's current main version, and flash it in RUU mode with a locked bootloader

I have posted a getvar

I have also tried to flash an RUU with limited success, it failed due to s-on, I have tried to get s-off, but ADB is not seeing the device.

Tried this

I tried this, after I do it I get "Active cmdline overflow!". What should I do?
