fastboot boot on 4.4.4 WORKED!

So here's my story.
My device is :
S-ON, 4.4.4 Droid stock, 3.29.161.9.
Yesterday i tried to get root while keeping stock rom for no tampered msg at bootloader.
I was following guide from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51383278&highlight=ota#post51383278
so with unlocked bootloader i tried to fastboot boot CWM recovery image.
and it hanged my phone as everyone reported for > 4.4.3 ..... so i gave up for this time.
Today i was in mood for flashing some custom rom and then rooting, but with TWRP(newest 2.8.3.0).
just for gigles i tried to fastboot boot newest twrp. only thing i did was renaming .img file to recovery.img.
guess what? it worked! so i got root, reboot and started enjoying not tampered stock
So now im sharing this lil'christmas story with you.
Of course if it's irrevelant or already found please delete this topic.
happy christmas nevertheless.!

i'm on 4.1.1 and can't install room with 4.4.4 cus it's request 3.28.401.6 firmware or above and when i do it and trying
fastboot boot recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

now using TWRP 2.8.3.0 the phone just doing reset and not going to recovery

Use older recovery. That one has new display drivers.
Merry Christmas to you too.

this is what i get when upgrading the firmware http://oi58.tinypic.com/e0jxqq.jpg
was using Stock Firmware + NoRedText Hboot from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/ota-3-28-401-6-t2899900
been trying the following recovery files:
openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-m8 - not working, screen stuck in fastboot
openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.0-m8 - going reset
* to be clear: this "no display" in the recovery thing happening only after i flash InsertCoin 5.0.6 http://insertcoin-roms.org/2014/12/...rol-market-ota-icon-packs-stable-performance/
(haven't flashed another room yet)
now i need do what i always do when this happen:
- fastboot oem rebootRUU
- fastboot flash zip 2.22.401.4-Firmware-noredtext
after that go back to recovery and restore the backup i made before.

not sure what your point is ? this thread is about booting the LATEST twrp on the LATEST firmware because older ones couldn't boot but could only be flashed.

2.flashed twrp recovery (by fastboot)
3.flashed su update(by twrp)
4.copied CM13 Rom file and gapps file into my sd card
5.Rebooted in recovery mode
6.wiped cache,dalvik cache,system,data,internal(eXcept micro sd)
7.Done format system
8.Installed cm13 and gapps
9.Rebooted
Result is got stucked at yu logo :crying:
OTHER METHODS TRIED:
After 9th step i wiped dalvik cache and cache and rebooted
and aslo tried by formating nothing is worked still i stuck at yu logo

No mm rom will work unless u first upgrade the default cyanogen software from cm11 to cm12.1 since the bootloader of cm11 is 32bit and cm12.1 is 64bit and all roms mostly are 64bit so they wont boot
So follow the above steps you mentioned the same way but first flash cm12.1 fastboot images and boot then you will be able to flash any rom

Hearty thanks for your reply ,cuz i spent more than 5 nights on this but couldnt make it ,now I got clarity about the problem I'll try to implement what you said but how can I update to 12.1 n after that how to root and install twrp or cwm and finally thanks thanks thanks a lot for ur reply

I tried with several KitKat roms
I also tried to install several ROMs, which are based on CM 11, but only 2/20 ROMs have worked.
Rest 18 are not working, and they get stuck up at the 2nd boot screen.
How can I resolve this problem?

1) download cyanogen os 12.1 fastboot images from here http://builds.cyngn.com/factory/tomato/cm-12.1-YOG4PAS3JM-tomato-signed-fastboot.zip
2) download flashing tools from here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B48lBYmwzkD5cVA1dVFvU0plTW8/view?usp=sharing
3) extract files of both zip files in single folder
4)connect your phone in fastboot mode and check all drivers are installed
5) now open flash-all.bat and let it run
6) if everything went fine then you are done (first boot may take 20 mins after flashing )
7) use this for more http://forum.xda-developers.com/yureka/development/windows-yuware2013266073-t3193757

help! not sure if i hard bricked my phone

Hi everyone i flashed kings marshmallow hydrogen os but i didnt like it so i reverted back to my blisspop via nandroid backup. Unfortunately I am know stuck at the oneplus boot screen with the oneplus logo in the middle and the powered by android logo at the bottom. I am unable to boot into twrp. I was able to boot into fastboot mode and managed to flash twrp recovery however the phone will not load into recovery and goes to the oneplus boot screen. I think i softbriked or hard bricked phone because i went from kings hydrogen os which is marshamllow based to my nandroid backup which is blisspop 5.1. IDK what to do know
Bottom line i can boot into fastboot mode. device manager on my pc recognizes phone as android device- marshall london bootlooder interface any suggestions?

If you can Boot to Fastboot you have a softbrick. Somewhere around here is a thread for the recovery tool with the qualcom drivers. Read carefully and maybe give it a try.

i did flash via fasboot after i flash it says sending recovery (okay) writing recovery (okay) than i reboot but. but when i try to reboot into recovery it does not reboot into RECOVERY it justs stuck at one plust boot screen.

Stucking 1+ logo is because having unsupported recovery from system... After you did restore did you got any error...
Get both recoveries and try command
fastboot boot recoveryname.img
One of them has to boot. Youre doing something wrong

First boot into twrp recovery and flash supersu zip. Then reboot into bootloader and
Use command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" in adb and fastboot tool for permanent flash.

Guess I made a mistake by flashing it first via flashtool. Then problem must be in drivers, bcs when i open powershell (win10), it says error null device or something like that. Can you give me a little guide how to make it work? Bcs i had zero problems while i was on oreo...
