How did you fastboot flash it?

fastboot flash recovery *recovery image name*

^remove the stars and placeholder text and replace with the exact file name of your recovery. Make sure said file is IN your fastboot folder.

So I hit install recovery and in the next window,it says"device name:htc_m8wl-NOT SUPPORTED"

You have to do what the others are doing. They are using fast boot and adb. You cannot download the TWRP app. The original post is incorrect.

I don't recommend messing with TWRP.

I use the twrp app for a while now? Once I flashed twrp then I go download app. App is just a recovery manager. It pretty much just is a auto boot to recovery

Not sure what your problem is with TWRP, but it's running great -- just like it did on about every other phone I've owned.

I am glad that the terminal commands have been changed on the TWRP site because it was getting a lot of folks into deep doo-doo. I have yet to flash this, but I'd like to add that the suggestion on the TWRP site for using Goo Manager did not find the recovery for me either ("No compatible recovery found"). I hate to say it, but it gives me pause.

But to re-iterate what 1wolfmanpack said, it looks like right now, the only reliable way to install this is via the command he posted (well a little added by me):

Code:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery 'recovery'.img
fastboot reboot

where the portion in between the ' is the actual name of said recovery.

BTW, I really love using fastboot. Once it's setup and working, takes all the guess work out of the equation.

I hate to be a spelling Nazi, but . . . you're missing a 't' in 'bootloader'

Not to sound like a complete noon... But I'm new to HTC.I been with Sammy. And Odin for years.... What's the difference between ADB and fastboot.. I know adb is through terminal command...in your "adb folder" on your c drive... ( right click and shift) to open a command prompt... Guess I'm just confused what the difference between that and fast boot.. please educate me and not flame me.... Lol...

PSA for stock rom users

TWRP needs updated to not wipe /data/preload when user wipes data on stock rom. HTC is now preloading files used by the stock rom to this location and they are not regenerated once wiped.

Hi and welcome to HTC. HTC is actually following the standard Android utilities and not the proprietary ODIN. When a phone boots, it 1st runs the bootloader program. The bootloader is a low-level program that is responsible for early initialization of the phone. Once the bootloader is done with this early setup, it loads the next part of the boot process from the "boot" partition of the phone. That partition usually holds the "kernel" which is the core piece running your Android OS. The kernel boot process will then startup all the other pieces of Android. Now that you understand how the phone boots (the description is very simplistic - there are many more details I'm leaving out), we can go back to fastboot and adb.

1. fastboot
During the bootloader startup procedure, you can interrupt the bootloader (on the M8 you hold power+vol_down). Once interrupted, the bootloader menu shows up on the phone which allows you, among other things, to choose fastboot mode. Fastboot mode makes the bootloader listen to commands over the phone USB port. The program you need on the PC side to send commands to the bootloader in fastboot mode is the fastboot utility. With the fastboot utility, and depending on the bootloader type and capabilities, you can do many low-level operations on the phone, such as flash and format partitions.

2. adb
ADB, or Android-Debug-Bridge is a much higher level utility. During the kernel startup (way later than the bootloader) a background process called "adbd" (android debug bridge daemon) will be started. adbd will be running either when you are running a recovery or when running a full Android OS. adbd listens over USB (again, this is very simplistic, adbd listens to much more than just USB) and can accept commands. The PC counterpart for interacting with adbd is the adb utility. When using adb, you can interact with with the phone while Android (or recovery) is running. This allows you to do operations at a higher level such as debugging running applications/OS and copying files between your PC and your phone.

So to sum it up, fastboot is a utility used when the phone is in bootloader-fastboot mode. It allows you to do low-level operations such as flashing and formatting partitions. adb, is a utility that requires either a recovery or a full Android OS to be running and will allow you to interact with the phone at the operating system level and is usually used to do file system operations (move copy delete) on the phone.

Wow man... Thanks for your patience and time you took to write that... I really appreciate it... I'm at work right and can't really recall ask the files I have on my computer... But I do know for a fact I I have a adb file directory on my c: drive... And I also had a mini adb file as well... And if I recall right... It did have a fast boot file off some kind in that folder as well... Lol.. not sure right now off hand lol.. Thanks again...

TWRP is my current recovery. After downloading TWRP Manager via playstore when I select an option the toast pops up saying something about my device not being supported and app closes. Why? Because TWRP does not officially support my device or a bug?

Thanks

hit ThAnKs if I was helpful!!

Edit: Never mind.. I see it is a common issue. No biggie.

Cid you can see on bootloader. I only ask cause myself I didn't use s-off expoilt an I had to change mine back when I received phone so figured I would throw that out there. I believe you can Fastboot a command an get all information. I can't remember command off hand. I use app for backups an restore wipe . It's pretty much justa auto reboot an boot but it's convenient
