Hi there, 

Sorry that you're getting an error message " Could not use history brush because the history state lacks a corresponding channel " while using the using the History brush tool. 

Which version of Photoshop are you using and what is the Windows version? Does the problem occurs while working on a particular file or file type? 

Would you mind checking the steps mentioned in this discussion https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop/could-not-use-history-brush-because-the-history-state-lacks... and let us know if that helps?

Thanks,

Akash

Why you trying to Paint into the Layer Mask on your shape layer with the History Brush? What is the Tutorial Step doing?
