Download another version of mfastboot, or simply just fastboot, or try from scratch again!
I saw earlier your mfastboot folder has recovery.img, so cannot be a misplace error!
Still check again it is there! Otherwise, do what i wrote in first line!

[ROOT][DETAILED] MOTO E Rooting and Flashing Recovery 100% Working

TIP: if your moto e is currently rooted and you're using kitkat then I recommend you to install Lollipop on your phone.(it's awesome I tried it) follow this guide here: Here's How I Upgraded from Kitkat4.4 to Lollipop5.1 with working GravityBox (xposed)
"Many of moto E users, including me, is having the problem of getting stuck when flashing the recovery."

}
"So I decided to make a thread for explanation."
1. Bootloader must be unlocked. if not, Unlock the bootloader from here
(a). Download the CWM 6.0.4.9 recovery For MOTO E. this recovery is required temporary for flashing "SuperSU".
(b). So download UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.01.zip
(c). Download the latest TWRP Recovery TWRP 2.7.2.0 V2.2. this will be your new default recovery.
STEPS:-
1. Copy "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.01.zip" into the phone's SD card (could be internal memory)
2. Boot into bootloader (switch off the phone -> hold volume down+power button for 6 seconds -> release the buttons and wait for 1 second)
3.Connect USB to phone in bootloader menu.
4.Copy "cwm 6.0.4.9_recovery.img" (downloaded from step a) and "moto_e_twrp2.7.2.0_v2.2.img" (downloaded from step c) to "adb folder" in desktop.
5. First, we have to flash CWM recovery so that we can flash SuperSU. Enter in cmd
Code:
fastboot flash recovery cwm6. 0.4.9_recovery
it will give an error like "mismatched partition size(recovery)" but it's normal
Now press the volume down once(move to recovery) then volume up(to select) and wait till shows this
wait some more and there you are in CWM recovery.
6. Choose "install from sdcard" and select "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.01.zip" downloaded in (b) step.
[*NOTE*
>>CWM recovery itself has a rooting menu item, it'll be displayed when you want to reboot. It'll ask if it should root the device - but it won't work.So You should go the SuperSU way.]
>>When you select a CWM reboot after applying SuperSU, CWM displayed "root access may have been lost - fix?". Please select "No", it'll work fine]
7.After installation of SuperSU you can reboot the device. Since now we have rooted the device by flashing SuperSU,we can install the TWRP Touch recovery. repeat 2. and 3. step
8. Enter in cmd:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery moto_e_twrp2.7.2.0_v2.2.img
it will give same error as in step 5 but that's normal. Now you have successfully installed the TWRP recovery.
To go into recovery you have to select volume up button (instead of power button like in most HTC phones).
Bonus:To remove the unlocked bootloader message you see everytime you boot your moto e follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52692225&postcount=2

Well there is already a "How to root" thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2755336
Besides this is again a "how to" thread. Should be in general section. It has no development. So please report your thread and request to move it.
Also, 2 recoveries are not needed to root. Either of those 2 is enough.

CWM link is down, Please make a mirror and better upload it at a host which does not put bandwidth or download cap!
Recommendations would be Google Drive, Dev-Host, Mega etc.
Also For the CWM, where did you find a working version for moto E?
I'd like to visit the source!

None of the ways are working after OTA update to 4.4.4
After updating my Moto E to 4.4.4 today, I tried to root it. I tried both the ways (with TWRP and with CWM) but not together.
The results are disappointing.
When I used the "only boot with recovery" option (fastboot boot recovery....img), I got a frozen white screen with the Moto logo in the center the instant I issued the fastboot command. Nothing else happened.
When I used the "flash recovery" option (fastboot flash recovery recovery....img) and tried to load the recovery I just flashed, I got a small graphic in the center with "No Command" written at the bottom. Nothing else happened.
I'm still trying, will update if situation improves...
Update: Finally CWM worked. I started from the beginning, followed the steps and I now have root.
Warning:
1. CWM recovery itself has a rooting menu item, displayed when you want to reboot. It asks if it should root the device - but doesn't work. You should go the SuperSU way.
2. When you select a CWM reboot after applying SuperSU, CWM displayed "root access may have been lost - fix?". I selected "No" and it worked fine.

** boot ** means you are just using the recovery untill next boot, so to install recovery permanently you have to flash with ** flash** method.you can choose to flash the cwm recovery too (instead of twrp) )after rooting the phone.

[Q] Cant enter factory reset mode (devide turned off)

Got an LG G2 D802 which recently was stuck in fastboot only,no download mode not anything at all,
after many tries and errors i managed to boot to download mode and flash an apropriate version.
The thing is from that moment i cant seem to get in factory reset screen through Power Down + Power button as it used on the beginning i press the is im supposed and the phone just normaly boots,never get on factory reset or recovery,I can only enter the recovery via application from playstore called Reboot Recovery.
I can still factory reset from settings but i want to know why i cant enter with the other way and i think it a necessary function to have just in case.
How can i fix this in order to get in factory reset when the device is turned off?
How can i install twrp without autorec because this was the problem which bricked my phone?(download zip and install from current recovery?)which twrp do i need for the following device?
Any info on dorimanx kernel?
Android version 4.4.2
Build Number KOT49I.D80220h
kernel version 3.4.0
Model LG G2 D802

You're running 4.4.2 which is KitKat. KitKat Recovery is accessed by holding PWR + VOL DWN, then when the LG logo appears, switching to VOL DWN + VOL UP. You are trying the old method for Jellybean Recovery.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
BEFORE FOLLOWING THIS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE WORKING ADB DRIVERS INSTALLED AND CAN CONFIRM COMMUNICATION WITH YOUR PHONE VIA ADB COMMANDS!
You can install TWRP without autorec, which will result in keeping your KitKat bootloader. This method is also called BUMP. Follow my steps:
1. Download your KDZ from here. If you are already running Stock KitKat, no need.. just continue to step 2. I like to do everything from a clean/fresh installation that's all.
2. Root your stock KK with StumpROOT.
3. Download Bumped TWRP from here.
Extract the recovery.img file from the downloaded TWRP .rar archive.
4. Next we need your boot.img file currently on your phone. We can extract your boot.img to your sdcard by running the following command:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img
Once your boot.img is on your sdcard, move it to your computer via usb or adb, your choice.
5. Download Windows BUMP Tool.
6. Bump your boot.img file with the Windows BUMP Tool. This will result in a newly created bumped.img file. Delete your original boot.img and rename bumped.img to boot.img
7. Next we need to force your phone into fastboot mode (as much as that might scare you!), we can do that by running the following command via adb/shell.
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot
8. BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER, You should have 2 files on your computer: recovery.img, and your newly renamed boot.img (bumped with the Windows BUMP Tool). Next we need to reboot the phone in order to get into fastboot mode. So, REBOOT.
9. When your device reboots it will boot into fastboot as we nullified the boot partition. We now need to connect our device via adb and run the following commands,
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
These commands require your recovery.img and boot.img to be in the same folder as your fastboot.exe file.
(See the image below for an example)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Once successfully flashing your bumped recovery and bumped boot.img, run the following command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
.
That's it! You now installed TWRP without AutoRec, and kept your KitKat bootloader.

Dorimanx Kernel works great with a KK Bootloader, BUT YOU NEED TO HAVE A BUMPED VERSION OF THE DORIMANX KERNEL. All versions of Dorimanx above 9.1 are BUMPED.

I'll try your steps when i go home,
i've got installed the minimal adb driver which i found in my search for fixi g the fastboot problem of g2 i think this will be enough right?
for the twrp recovery cant i install it via sideload?from the recovery that it has now which is not twrp/cwm,its something else i dont know what but it has wipe cache install from cache install fro sideload

That should be okay. As long as you can use the fastboot command and fastboot.exe is present.

I have no idea, I've never used sideload before. I'm just giving you my solution to installing TWRP without AutoRec from the facts stated in your original post. We both have the D802 model and my methods above have worked flawlessly for me multiple times after reflashing a compatible KDZ. Good luck and take it slow.

[ROOT]How to get root Moto G 2015 With Android Marshmallow 6.0 (worked in XT1541)

:fingers-crossed:How to get root Moto G 2015 With Stock Android Marshmallow 6.0 (XT1541)​
Hi guys. Now I have a Moto G 2015 XT1541 with previously unlocked bootloader (following Motorola Guide described here, be careful unlocking bootloader wipes everything!) with recently installed Europe Retail Stock ROM MM 6.0, but i was having some issues trying to install TWRP 3.0 and SuperSU 2.65....until now.
With latest SuperSU you will get bootloop, and probably you need to reinstall the stock rom completely.........but... ....This method works fine!
Try it yourself on XT1540, XT1542, XT1543, XT1544 and XT14548 variants
So, I have used TWRP twrp-osprey-2.8.7-r7.img for the recovery and Super SU Beta 2.62 (BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip) to get root on my device.
Get TWRP recovery and ROOT
Step 0: enter to developer options (tap 7 times the build number) and select Allowing USB debubbing and Allow OEM unlock options
Step 1: install TWRP 2.8.7-r7 entering to bootloader mode
Turn off the device, press power and volume down and wait for two seconds. device will show bootloader mode in black screen, connect it to the pc through usb cable
Step 2: Paste twrp2.8.7-r7.img file into folder \Android\sdk\platform-tools and rename it to recovery.img (this requires previously installed Android SDK Tools, but you can do the same with MinimalADB
open cmd in windows, navigate to the platform-tools folder location and write this line:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Wait until ok message appears in cmd
TWRP will appear, and press reboot System. Enter bootloader mode again and type in CMD the following:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Wait until ok message appears in cmd. After that, press in bootloader mode the recovery option, you will enter to twrp and now new recovery becomes permanent, press Reboot system.
Step 3: copy BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip file into the device and after that, disconnect it from usb
Step 4: turn off the device, enter bootloader mode as stated in step 1, and select the recovery option with the volume up and down , press power button to enter to recovery and twrp will appear instead of original recovery.
Step 5: in twrp press install, select location of the Beta SuperSu File, select beta Super SU zip file and allow installation swipping to the right side and wait until it finish.
Step 5.1: after flash Super SU, wipe dalvik and cache through twrp, pressing the wipe dalvik/cache button located in left side.
Step 6: in twrp press button reboot now.
Wait a little while android rebuild the cache.
The device will enter to the home screen. check that super su app is installed
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Note: if twrp offers to you install SuperSu dont let it. That causes a bug.
Step 7: Install Root checker and check if you are root.
Thats all folks!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plus 1 - If something goes wrong you can reinstall Stock as described in this repair guides. Check here the firmware and here the reinstall instructions
Plus 2 - How to delete the Motorola annoying unlock bootloader message:
Step 0: connect the device to the pc, copy unlocked_logo.zip file into the device and after that, disconnect from usb
Step 1:
Turn off the device, press power and volume down and wait for two seconds. device will show bootloader mode in black screen
Step 2: In bootloader mode select with the volume up and down the recovery option, press power button to enter and twrp will appear
Step 3: in twrp press install, select location of the unlocked_logo.zip File, select that file and allow installation swipping to the right
Step 4: in twrp press reboot now. The device will boot without nagging window.

Excellent instructions. First time I saw detail to flash TWRP in a manner that does not revert back to stock recovery.
One recommendation, after the first boot to recovery, make a clean (pre-root, pre-cutom recovery) TWRP back up to your SD Card. If anything goes wrong, just flash this backup.

Man I wish read your advice last night before I used one of those automated programs to root (installed latest super su) and bootloop city. I figured I would make a backup right after rooting.
I recovered by installing a close to stock 5.11 rom with twrp but would like to get back to MM without starting from scratch.
Does anyone know of a Stock MM rom (not ASOP) that can be installed with twrp?

If you get that The phone is not allowed to unlocked The bootloader when i try, how can i unlocked it then

I've had it do that on a new flash and I just held the power down until it shut off and when I turned it back on it boots normally.

Thanks, did not understand why the latest version not started, I see that you can not install a more current than version 2.65.

Excellent instructions. First time I saw detail to flash TWRP in a manner that does not revert back to stock recovery.
One recommendation, after the first boot to recovery, make a clean (pre-root, pre-cutom recovery) TWRP back up to your SD Card. If anything goes wrong, just flash this backup.

Make sure you have a portable SD Card installed. Then simply boot TWRP, set back up location to SD Card, and make back up. If you never used TWRP, you may want to Google it and learn a little before your first attempt.

roouted my device, everything ok

Just to report, it worked on my XT1543 (dual sim, 1GB)

Couldn't get this to work on XT1541 with 24.44.1.osprey_reteu_reteu.en.EU reteu with the instructions mentioned in the first post.
I got things to work by using the latest SuperSU and forced it to install in system-less mode. This worked quite well.
1. First go to bootloader using power+volumedown or from PC:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
2. Then boot TWRP (3.0.0-r2 in my case worked fine):
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-osprey-3.0.0-r2.img
3. Now copy SuperSU to the phone:
Code:
adb push BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-20160228150503.zip /sdcard/
4. Next make sure SuperSU will install in system-less mode:
Code:
adb shell
echo SYSTEMLESS=true > /data/.supersu
5. Install SuperSU by pressing "Install" in TWRP, select BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-20160228150503.zip and swipe. After installing you should see in the log that it used system-less mode. Now you can "Clear Cache/Dalvik" as well.
6. Now reboot. It should show the "Warning Bootloader Unlocked" screen once, then reboot, then show it again and this time it should continue booting into Android.

Hi guys, for me I had NO problem flashing "BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip" using "twrp-osprey-3.0.0-r2.img" on MPI24.65-33.1 Build number XT1541 (+ Allow OEM unlock options)

TWRP for LENOVO Tab M10 FHD - TB-X606F?

Hello, Possessing two tablets of this brand, I was wondering if a custom recovery existed for this one, I can look everywhere on all the forums, Russian, English, etc ... But, I do not find.
If anyone can create one with this SOURCE CODE from the tablet that would be super nice.

I succeded to install twrp on my lenovo x606F.
1) extract recovery.img from a downloaded full firmware
2) download "Mediatek (MTK) Auto TWRP recovery porter by Team Hovatek" v. 1.6 and use it to create a twrp.img from your recovery
3) flash your twrp image by adb:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
4) then flash an empty vbmeta.img that you find on team hovatek site by this command (Method 3 - Flashing vbmeta https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-32719.html ):
fastboot --disable-verity flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
5) reboot in recovery. You will receive a message that your partition is encrypted. tap "cancel" and follow the steps indicated on this page (Method 3 - Patching fstab in /vendor partition using TWRP + Text editor https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-30160.html ). You have to backup on your microsd your two fstab.* files in /vendor/etc folder and then modify as indicated. Then, by twrp, overwite them on your original files.
6) reboot in android and flash your original recovery
7) reboot in your stock recovery and make a full data erase. YOU LOST ALL YOUR PERSONAL DATA.
8) reboot in android and reinstall twrp recovery
9) reboot in your full working twrp recovery and check if it is all ok.
When you boot in your twrp, your screen is black, so you have to push power button to light your screen. You can fix it
by checking all three option in magisk manager (keep encryption, keep verity and recovey mode) and reinstall magisk root.
I'm not responsable for any damage on your device. Sorry for my english

Are you sure? TWRP Recovery Porter says that vbmeta.img must be flashed BEFORE twrp image.

I made several attempts to install twrp. When I succeeded, I installed vbmeta.img after twrp. But, during my previous attempts, I had already installed vbmeta. So, it is possible that the right steps are to install it first.

So, did anyone else succeed with these steps?

Nope. I tried 3-4 times, no way. The only result is that my tab's clock becomes late 11k seconds after each reboot

Guys someone has a working twrp image for android 10?

I just rooted Lenovo M8 FHD TB-8705F (Android 9) using the Hovatek Method 3 guide:
flashed empty vbmeta
flashed boot.img created by Magisk

I tried the steps above with the TB-X606F on Android 10 (I used the lenovo recovery tool to rescue os and ended up with android 10) and I am unable to get it working. If I flash the generated twrp image and the vbmeta one (doesn't matter which order) and reboot recovery I get a black screen and no amount of pushing the power button gets the screen to turn on. I have not tried the boot.img file generated by Magisk yet. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Hi all,
I got my TB-X606F today and I'm having a hard time getting fastboot to work. I installed the official MTK driver from google and in my device manager its visible as Android ADB Interface
on my tablet I see the fastboot mode in the lower left corner.
fastboot devices shows nothing on cmd.
Any ideas?
OS Windows 10

I have the same problem and can't proceed rooting for this reason.
adb works fine. Device is shown, commands like reboot into fastboot mode works fine. But "fastboot devices" does not show an entry.
I've tried to (re-) install the drivers CDC, VCOM, ... several times. I'v tried the "Latest ADB Fastboot and USB Driver installer tool for Windows". Doesn't work.
In device manager, Android Bootloader Interface is shown with an error.

To fix this update your driver to Samsung's adb interfrance and it will work.

I got my TB-X606F rooted but struggle to install TWRP. I believe I'm on Android 10, the latest? I used [Hovatek] Mediatek Auto TWRP Recovery Porter V1.7a by Team Hovatek because I couldn't find version 1.6. I got the recovery.img directly from TB-X606F_S300007_200923_BMP.zip. I select Android 10 in the Android Version and output the TWRP recovery. Then I flashed and flashed the vbmeta (both the version from my zip file and the version from Hovatek. Then I flashed using multiple instructions. When I boot to recovery, it just gives the orange box screen then eventually fully boots to OS. Anything I'm forgetting?

I upgraded to Android 10. I installed again twrp by "Mediatek Auto TWRP Recovery Porter V1.7a". Android 10 version don't work well. "Pie Kernel 4.9.117" version works perfectly. The steps I follow are similar to my previous post. Insted of "forceencrypt" there is "forcefdeorfbe" in fstab.mt6765 file.
