Cannot Access Fastboot Mode lollipop (ver 5.02)

OK, we can close this one out. I did want to post my solution, just in case anyone else had a similar error.

Long Story a little bit shorter, on my HTC one M8, the error:

sending 'recovery' (11976 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... (bootloader) signature checking...
FAILsignature verify fail
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

Was due to a locked bootloader. Because, for some reason I can't see the bootloader on my phone, I could not see the lock status, so I was having to do EVERYTHING via ADB. The problem was, when unlocking the bootloader there is screen on the phone that asks you to confirm yes or no if you want to unlock it. I could not see that screen and the instructions I was reading left that out (It was a good assumption that if one was trying to unlock one would know to say YES. LOL). So, I was missing that step. When I found that step, even though I could not see it on screen, I just blindly pushed volume down and then power to select. At that point it unlocked and allowed me to flash twrp 3.0.

Still do not know WHY I can't see the bootloader screen. I wonder if for some reason the colors are off in my bootloader screen and all the words are the same color as the background or it is trying to redirect that output somewhere else.

but at this point I am going to live with it as trying to fix it is what got me in here in the first place.
 
Yep, that makes sense with the failed flash messages you were getting. Thanks for posting and glad you got it sorted.
 
I have also similar experience with flashing recover for my HTC One M9 Plus..I can not flash the recovery 2.8.7.0 or 3.0.0.0 and so on with *.img form..however I flash the recovery by inserting to sd card with *.zip form..
