So i was trying to flash a alpha build of 4.4 to my xt907. I wasn't able to flash it through twrp so i upgraded my recovery to a new version of CWM. I was able to flash it then but then grew tired of it due to missing features. so when I tried to restore neither CWM or TWRP could mount system/data/cache or anything else. So i went to fastboot to try to use Matt's utility to completely go back to stock. that wouldn't work either, I can't use fastboot to flash a new recovery due to a
"remote failure." Nothing I can think of works. please help. I can't do any backups or restores, reverting to stock or even wiping the phone. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

In this thread I got a great answer about how to fix a sizing problem with the data partition on my Razr M. You'll need this if you are running CMod, are encrypting, reformat your data partition with TWRP, and want to re-encrypt after the reformat.
There is only one silly problem. I am running CM 10.1, which is 4.2.2. I am also running TWRP 2.6. I can change versions of TWRP as easy as anything, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to return to stock recovery. I really do not want to RSD, since Motorola has been working on how to relock the bootloader, and I don't want to give them that chance. And, of course, if I do RSD back to 4.2.2 stock, I'll have no way to get root back.
What I'd love to do is just to get the 4.2.2 stock recovery image, and flash it with fastboot. But I cannot for the life of me find the 4.2.2 stock recovery image. I have Matt's 4.1.2 stock recovery image, and I actually tried it with his utility, but...yeah. Android with exclamation point. It did not end well.
So, here's the question: is there any way to flash the 4.2.2 stock recovery without RSDing back to stock? Where is that darn disc image?
Thanks!

In my goodies. Stock recov & a prerooted restore method!
Many thanks for the stock recovery. I installed it using Minimal Fastboot and ADB,
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
When I reboot into recovery, I get the green dead android. I re-flashed TWRP 2.6, no problem. What's the catch here?
The only thing I can think of: I did not flash the .zip file from TWRP, but extracted it, got the disc image, and then installed it through Minimal Fastboot and ADB. Is that going to make any difference?
Thanks!

Normally when you boot into stock recovery , you wont be presented with a nice menu. It's almost a hidden menu that you have to pull up...
When you go in and get the Triangle or whatever is there, you will have to press volume + and - and power button to get the menu to display.
Try a few combinations, volume + and - then power, or power then + and -, or all three at the same time. Eventually it will come up.

I was going to offer the xt897 stock recovery. It glides into action & has apply from cache. In goodies also.
Hello,
I've rooted my own note 3 and flashed Temaseks unofficial cm 12 rom. Everything works perfect so I decided to do the same thing for my father. It all went well, first I rooted his phone, then I flashed CWM and flashed cm 12 by temasek. The rom works fine but I forget to install the Gapps. So I tried to install Gapps but I got an error "Failure Status 6". I googled on that error and someone told it has to do something with CWM. I tried to flash a different version of CWM but now I can't reboot into recovery mode anymore. So I can't flash anything.
I flashed another version of CWM but this one also doesn't work. Whenever I try to boot the phone into recovery mode, the blue line shows up. Rebooting into recovery mode, but after a few secs, the phone just boots the normal way. Is there anyone that can help me to get CWM back to work? In the mean time I'll try to flash TWRP by Odin.
Thanks in advance!
So I flashed latest version of CWM: Buildversion; 6.13.0, CWM Base Version V6.0.4.7. I can reboot into recovery now but still can't install Google Apps due to failure status 6. On my own Phone I run a different version of CWM, but when I try to flash it, the phone won't boot into recovery mode anymore. It only boots into recovery when I flash this V6.0.4.7 . How can I get rid of this version and flash an older version of CWM?
You'll probably have to Odin back to stock and start over...

You mean If there is no other way to get the Google Apps on the phone, I have to go back to stock. I did make a backup with CWM on the while it was running custom firmware. Now I have 4 files on my comuter, 3.tar and 1.md5 . If I recover them, I will still have this not working CWM version on my phone right? Isn't there a easier way to delete CWM, can I flash TWRP over CWM and see if it will install these Gapps?
Yeah, you should be able to flash TWRP over it. TWRP is much better anyway, in my opinion. Once you get the recovery issue sorted, I really wouldn't't recommend trying to flash just the gapps. It would probably work, but it's also quite likely to cause some weird issues. It's always best to flash gapps immediately after flashing a ROM, without leaving recovery.
I would flash TWRP, wipe everything but your internal SD, re-flash the ROM, flash the gapps, and everything should be cherry.
Edit: here is the link to download TWRP.

I appreciate your effort, thank you. The recovery issue is solved. I flashed Chainfires Root script and that installed the stock recovery. However, when I tried to install and older CWM version I got back in the recovery reboot cycle. But once I installed the latest CWM it booted in recovery. So I flashed Chainfires Root once again and had the stock recovery back. From there on I tried to install TWRP but got the recovery boot cycle again. My phone is now running android 5.0.2 and I think that's the problem.... :S I'll try again to flash Chainfires Root script to get the stock recovery back. From there on I will try to flash the link you gave to me with Odin and hope that will fix it. Do you have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Your version of TWRP works so far. It reboots into RecoveryMode. Now I'll wipe and try to install Temaseks Cm 12 followed by Gapps! Thanks so far!
Okay, it's solved. Can't thank you enough for you help. Bless you!!
No problem. Glad you got it figured out!

Hey guys, I'm a longtime XDA browser but hardly ever post. I have the MXPE rooted with the newest TWRP build and has been running great since I got it. last night flashed the Deodexed 6.0 build from AICPs 5.1.1. I had some issues with the SD card being mounted as internal storage and erasing something so I tried to flash back to stock as my nandroids weren't seen as usable.
Long story short when I flashed back to stock, the recovery would never take. I've flashed the stock recovery and twrp to no avail. For some reason it wont actually stick. Everything else is back to stock but that. When I used the win toolkit and tried to flash twrp again it said something about the folder locations so I'm wondering if I messed something in the partitions.
Question is, have you guys ran into this issue or have any insight on where to go from here? I've looked around but I couldn't find a post that the same as this issue. As a side note, I can get into the bootloader just fine.
I appreciate any info that someone can provide.
Flash twrp. Reboot back to recovery from recovery. Reboot system.
Hopefully it's that easy. Stock os flashes stock recovery on boot. Rebooting recovery from recovery prevents that from happening.
From TWRP:
"Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot.... Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install."

Thanks for the info ffejy462. What happens when I try to flash TWRP and it doesnt stick? I know for a fact that I can boot into it temporarily with fastboot boot and the recovery file. Should I just flash it from there?

I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner. Flash recovery with fastboot. Boot into recovery. From reboot menu in recovery, select reboot recovery. Twrp will patch so recovery isn't lost again.
mxpe 6.0
That did it. thanks alot ffejy462!
I have erase the entire OS from the phone...
what can I do?
HELP me please...
if I flash TWRP the recovery works but all the other stuff desn't work...
have I to send in assistance the phone?:crying:
someone has a fullworking twrp backup ?
Just flash a stock rom back from fastboot, with the stock recovery.
Run fastboot and flash the system.app and the recovery.app from a stock rom, many tutorials are on the forum, for the several EMui versions.
I flash stock recovery but doesn't work
I have the same problem yume-smart has.
I tried to flash through fastboot any possible file extracted from every update.app available on internet.
No way! Of course we must have done something terribly wrong, our fault.
As far as I can see I must have broken 3rdmodem partition and someone suggested that also curver partition must be messed up.
Only thing working: Fastboot, TWRP recovery (if flashed from fastboot) and the Honor 7 is trying to download something through the USB if i do the three button dance to force update. But it hangs at 90%.
I fear I should try to find (if exists) a FULL FLASHABLE ROM like Nexus has or a TWRP Nandroid backup from someone willing to share.
Thanks for suggestions.

I tried to factory reset a custom ROM, got sent to TWRP then I can't reboot to system from there. Tried a clean install but to no avail. I've looked around on the internet and I think I have to reinstall stock ROM and then reinstall custom recovery and ROM, except if I were to install the stock ROM once again (with sp tools) I need my phone to be turned off, not in recovery mode. So how exactly should I proceed now?
EDIT: Managed to get rid of the TWRP bootloop by restoring from a stock nandroid I've found on the forums, coupled with flashing a stock recovery image using TWRP. Reunlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP all over again and then flashed custom ROM and Gapps. Everything running fine now.
Mods feel free to delete this post since it's solved itself, or leave it in case anyone needed help concerning the same issue, up to you.
