I've read someone talking about it but never could figure out how it is done. I know I would need a stock img file that's recovery. That's about as far as I could figure out. I was afraid of bricking so I wasn't up to let's try this and see what happens. Anyone who has done this before out there that could tell how its done?
Download a recovery through rom manager, navigate to the download and copy the exact recovery name, then change stock recoverys name to match it, switch out the files. Boom.
Hello all I am still running the stock ROM except rooted with G2 Xposed installed. However I hate having the stock boot image on the ROM does anyone know where I can get a different boot image? Also how would I go about loading the boot image? I know in /system/media there is "bootanimation.zip" could I just get a boot zip file and replace or would I actually have to flash the boot?

Hi - I've read through almost every thread in this forum and, unless I am missing something - quite possible - I don't think that anybody has mentioned this problem.
I have a bootloader unlocked Boost Moto E4 and I can flash Squid's TWRP (I do get the "Image not signed or corrupt" message) and can boot from the bootloader after the flash into TWRP recovery. However, after I boot into the OS, the TWRP recovery gets overwritten with the stock recovery. Has anybody else bumped into this? Is there a step that I am missing somewhere to make TWRP permanent?
Thanks

Hmm - okay, after a little bit more work, I've managed to make it stick. I am not entirely sure which part of the process made it successful - or if I am duplicating things - but I used Magisk to generate a new boot.img, flashed that .img through twrp, installed the magisk .zip and now twrp "sticks" as my recovery. Nice that it allows me to boot with my system as r/w.

Your problem is the stock rom flashing the stock recovery when you reboot. If you flash twrp then reboot recovery once before booting the os, it should change a file in /system recovery-from-boot.p to recovery-from-boot.p.bak which will stop the stock recovery flash. You can also mount /system in twrp and use the file manager to change it manually.

after flashing recovery you have to root your device to make it
sticky. if you skip this step custom recovery will replaced on next boot *bingo*

Not true. You don't have to root to make twrp stick. I did just state how to do this.

than do this flash over default recovery and do reboot. twrp recovery removed from recovery partition on next boot.
also do this flash twrp and do allow modifications. your device ain't gonna boot. if you didn't flash no verity thing.
rooting will make it permanent. it's the same case in both marshmallow and nougat too as OP states his problem in first post.
it will permanent by doing this
fastboot erase recovery (remove default recovery from recovery partition)
than install custom recovery. it will be there no matter if your device is rooted or not.
Thanks for the replies, everybody. There is some good info in them - I have managed to "make it stick" but I'll definitely keep the advice here in mind when I need to redo things (as I am sure that I will at some point).

Whatever you do don't run "fastbootboot erase" anything unless you know for sure what by you're doing or you can screw up your partitions. I have flashed twrp many times with only running "fastboot flash recovery...", then flashing one of numerous zips to disable dmverity and forced encryption. As long as you have the option in twrp under " mount" that says "mount system read only" not checked and you may need to reboot twrp afterwards, twrp should stick. Flashing Magisk directly after the stock rom should also solve your problem and disable dmverity.
Hi,
I have the issue that my g4 plus won't boot at from boot loader. I have flashed the 8.1.0 stock ROM, but am unable to boot into the system. It just boots to the dead android no command screen. I have tried the other methods in other threads to no avail. I also tried ADB side loading but it didn't work either as it did not recognize the .zip. Does anyone have any solutions?

If you try to flash the 8.1.0 stock rom it needs to be extract from the zip. You cannot flash the zip like a custom rom. But that's explained in the instructions in the first post.
Please make this sure.

Why not simply ask in THAT thread? The users there and/or the thread starter would probably be better suited to answer that.
