YOU CANNOT USE Another device's recovery. "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-hammerhead.img" is for Nexus 5 and won't work on Nexus.
Try flashing another recovery WHICH IS for Maguro.
OR if you have toro or toroplus then flash the correct recovery for them.

Saving Data from locked, bricked device

Hey there,
as the title of the threat already indicates, my HTC One X got bricked.
As this usually happens when trying to flash some custom roms or recoverys, in my case it is the result of an official HTC update for android.
I can boot into Fastboot, and via cmd "fastboot devices" does show me the connected phone.
Now my approach for solving this matter was to flash the clockwork mod and then boot into recovery.
From there i wanted to pull data from the phone via adb commands.
The only problem is that my phone is locked. I cannot unlock it at the moment without wiping all data (which obviously would miss the whole data recovery point).
When i try tp flash the CWM in fastboot i get:
sending 'recovery' (8100 KB)...
FAILED (unknown status code)
finished. total time: 0.933s
I also tried to directly boot a recovery via fastboot boot recovery.img.
This resulted in
downloading 'boot.img'...
FAILED (unknown status code)
finished. total time: 0.933s
Well now I am seriously frustrated and dont know how to get my data.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Cheers
Josef

M8 wont start anymore

Hi there,
Today i was trying to unlock my phone and install a custom rom.
I started the phone in fastboot and has used these commands:
Code:
C:\Users\laptop\Desktop\ROOTEN\UBTv1.3.2>fastboot flash recovery recover.img
sending 'recovery' (14826 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.627s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.824s]
finished. total time: 3.452s
C:\Users\laptop\Desktop\ROOTEN\UBTv1.3.2>fastboot flash recovery recover.img
sending 'recovery' (14826 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.643s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.030s]
finished. total time: 2.674s
The File, was "twrp-2.8.7.0-m8.img" and renamed to "recover.img"
After this my phone didn't start android anymore and i've downloaded HTCDev Unlock and installed it at the phone. When that was ready i've reinstalled the trwp image file but with no good result.
After this i've downloaded and installed a older image file, version 2.7.1.0 and used also the command:
Code:
C:\Users\laptop\Desktop\ROOTEN\UBTv1.3.2>fastboot erase cache
erasing 'cache'...
OKAY [ 0.110s]
finished. total time: 0.111s
but the results are the same, I can't boot my M8 to android but also not in the recovery mode.
Can anyone give me some advise, to make my phone work again?

I don't now if the Fastboot option at Settings > Power is off.... and can't verify that.

Check md5 for the downloaded twrp-2.8.7.0-m8.img.

Mmm, that was a the size of the older file.... It was to show the command i've entered but not shows the right file info!
I've just used version "twrp-2.8.7.0-m8" and shows info below. Seems right.

After you installed twrp-2.8.7.0-m8.img can you boot to recovery ?
If you can, then restore 4.19.161.3 stock backup.
You can get the stock backup in my thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
If still can't boot to recovery, don't know much how to help you. One thing for sure, never use that 2.7.0.2 .. only 2.8.4.0 or 2.8.5.0 or 2.8.6.0 or 2.8.7.0
(you can try all of these to see whether you can boot to recovery after flashing them)

unlocked the bootloader
download the twrp recovery img (...ruu.lalleman.net/HTC_M8S%28QL_UL%29/Recovery/twrp-recovery-2.8.7.0-m8s-qlul/)
set phone on Fastboot USB
over the cmd bar (windows 10) i used fastboot and got this result:
C:\Android>fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-m8s-qlul.img

Stuck on TWRP after accidental factory reset

I was about to manually install the lineageOS update, but I accidentally swiped factory restore. Is there anyway I can get the update file online? I tried starting from the top by wiping everything and reinstalling the rom but it only boots me into TWRP. I also tried restoring backup files but is also boots me into TWRP. I am stuck.
PS: I tried the "fastboot continue" method but it boots me into TWRP.

reboot to fastboot mode. flash stock bootloader and recovery. reboot in stock recovery and then factory reset device and sideload firmware. alternatively you can flash raw firmware manually

Thank you for your response, Sir. I really appreciate it. Where do I get the stock bootloader and recovery, and how do I flash them? On the alternative method, do you mean I should install the stock rom? I'm sorry. I'm really not good at this; I'm just good at following tutorials. Is this what you're suggesting me to do? (XDA is now allowing me to write outside links. But here is the title of the tutorial from Asus Zentalk)
"[Experience Sharing] How to Relock Bootloader on ZenFone 2(ZE551ML ONLY)"
I have made a backup before I intalled the Lineage OS custom Rom. Can I use that instead of downloading new files, because the internet here is really bad. My problem is how I am going to install it. I tried restoring it but I keep on coming back to the TWRP.
Edit: I am now downloading the stock boot.img and recovery.img. I will be flashing them with ADB the ADB tool. Is this what you want to tell me? Then I will reboot in stock recovery, select factory reset and sideload firmware. I honestly don't get the "sideload firmware" part but can I use the one that I have backed up? How?

the backup you made you can flash only via twrp. if you have backup simply install it in twrp. but if still bootloops then you have to download firmware either from asus website or raw firmware from any other source. first try to flash backup in twrp. if you are unable to get into system them report back here. i will send you link to download raw firmware and instructions how to flash

I tried to flash the backup but still no luck. Yes, please. Thank you very much!
I'm currently downloading the "CleanSTOCK-MM.223-v3.8[STABLE][Z00A]-6 May". I hope this will fix the problem. Do you think this will work 100%? I am afraid that it will boot again to TWRP after installing another rom. Which do you think is more efficient, installing a new rom or installing raw firmware?

raw is definitely best option. are you able to mount data and cache partition in TWRP

The command prompt failed at steps 4,5, and 11. It only boots in a blinking screen with an android saying, "Error". Tried it again for the second time but still boots in same screen. I tried to manually boot up the phone without the commands and worked. Thank you very much!

hmm good to know device working again. strongly recommend you to perform a factory reset even device working perfectly.
