Hey Everybody,
I have been a silent person on XDA visiting as a guest but now in need of help!
I downloaded Lineage 14.1 for my M8 from here about 8 months ago, however time has come to move on to something else.
The issue is firstly I wish to update TWRP but every time I do a reboot to enter recovery I don't get that option anymore. Seems like it has disappeared. Can anyone advise me how I can get the latest version of TWRP back on my device please?

Not completely clear what you mean here. Are you booting to bootloader? You should have the option to enter recovery from there. But the choice to select boot recovery missing? If so, that would be strange. Don't think I've seen that before.

Or you can select to boot recovery, and it doesn't go to recovery (reboots, etc.)?

Can anyone advise me how I can get the latest version of TWRP back on my device please?
Flash latest TWRP with fastboot. Or if that fails, tell us if there is an error message, or other description of the issue.

I am trying to install TWRP (3.2.1-0-m8) on a HTC One M8 and here is the error message I get:
