Hi,
In order to update my phone to oxygenOS 2.2. I flashed oxygenOS 2.1.1 full rom and installed the OTA update for 2.2. Because of this the phone switched back to stock recovery. So I tried to install TWRP recovery through fastboot. The installation was successful but after reboot, it looks like the phone is keep switching back to stock recovery. I have tried this many times but same result everytime.
Note1: I did turned on the USB debugging before this.
Note2: Bootloader is unlocked.
Any help would be great. Thanks in advance!!
When TWRP asks you to modify system partition give it permission to do so at the start of booting to recovery

The problem is that I dont see TWRP even once after flashing it. After flashing when I reboot to recovery, it directly shows me default recovery. When I said its switching back to stock recovery, because the flashing of twrp was successful, I am assuming that it is switching back to stock recovery.

I also experienced this the first time. But I just ran fastboot flash recover openrecover-twrp-2.8.7.0.img one more time and then rebooted the phone and pressed volume down until it entered TWRP.

Did that many times, but it keeps getting entering in the default recovery.
What happens when you boot twrp with fastboot instead of flashing?
Also probably shouldn't flash an ota 2 versions different than the full. If that was the full version you already had, should have flashed 2.1.2 ota then the 2.2.0 ota.
I'm having the same issue. I was able to boot into TWRP once from Fastboot, flashed SuperSU it said it was successful, then I rebooted. Root was not available, and stock recovery was back.

Exactly as the title says ... after flashing this update, even if unlocked, you can no longer flash a custom recovery.
Fastboot will show a successful flash, e.g. :
mfastboot.exe flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-ghost.img
sending 'recovery' (9488 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.849s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.969s]

But when you try to boot recovery, it's stock recovery.
This makes any attempt to flash a rom, regain root, etc. impossible.
And you are booting straight to recovery after flashing via volume down and then volume up to select not the power button?

After you flash TWRP, at the command prompt type:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
I can't remember where I read it but some people said they had to do that to get the custom recovery to stick.
THEN unplug your device from your computer and reboot into recovery by scrolling down with the volume down button to highlight recovery and then hitting the volume up button to select recovery.
Ok, figured this out ...
(was able to back down to the original 4.4.4 w/rsd-lite and regain TWRP ... to develop this process)
So ... the following can be done to upgrade to this new version, and retain TWRP (plus you have the new recovery later on for 5.1 when it comes along ...)
First, the presumption here is you are unlocked. If you are not, none of this will work.
Also, you will need RSD-Lite installed and operational.
Download :
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u...RIZON_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26-3_cid2_1FF.xml.zip
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u...4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26-3/twrp-2.8.6.0-ghost.img
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22067374/GHOST_VERIZON_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26-3/servicefile.xml
Unpack the GHOST zip file, and overwrite the "servicefile.xml" in the unpacked folder w/the one you downloaded, then copy the twrp .img in there.
Fire up RSD-Lite, put your phone in fastboot, and apply this update by loading the servicefile.xml as the update.
It will update everything, installing the TWRP instead of the new stock recovery.
Note: you can delete the twrp line in servicefile.xml if you wish to retain your existing custom recovery.
When done, you should reboot, update, and be up and running with the new 4.4.4 and TWRP ... so easy path back to root via TWRP.

I think all that needs to happen is after you flash TWRP - you don't boot into recovery. Instead, reboot into bootloader mode. This has been a problem from the beginning for some people with their MX13's and not a new thing. I don't think it has anything to do with the update. Some people have to reboot into bootloader after flashing TWRP in order to get it to stick for some reason.
@_litz Please understand that @JulesJam is correct... the proper way to flash a recovery is as follows...
Start the phone to the Fastboot AP/Bootoader menu
using moto's fastboot (aka mfastboot) exectue the following...
mfastboot flash recovery RecoveryYouWishToFlash.img
mfastboot reboot-bootloader
Then use the volume/power keys to enter recovery.
Once in the recovery, it is safe to Reboot the phone normally.
that mfastboot reboot-bootloader step has been crucial for getting the newly flashed recovery (3rd party OR Stock!) to "stick" on the phone.
Flashing with RSDLite is over kill.
You'd think that would be the case, right?
Except those EXACT STEPS ... didn't work.
If you attempted to boot into recovery directly from the bootloader, it rebooted the phone, which booted the OS.

And you used volume up to enter recovery after flashing twrp? That is the most common problem I see.

That is because you are pressing the power button when you should be pressing the volume up button.
Yep ... ain't my first rodeo ....
It flat out refused to take recovery.
I had to back it back down to the old 4.4.4 version, reflash TWRP, then I simply applied the whole RSD package (sans recovery) to re-upgrade it to the new 4.4.4.
Worked like a charm.
(Plus it gave me a chance to extract the fxz from the moto manager app)

You needed to reboot into bootloader by typing fastboot reboot-bootloader after your flashed TWRP. THEN disconnect your phone from your computer and boot into recovery by using the volume down to highlight recovery and volume up to select recovery.
If you follow those instructions, you will flash TWRP fine. No need to go through that long drawn out process you came up with.
Probably should rename or delete this thread, since its fairly misleading.
Check in the /system partition for a file named recovery-from-boot.p or something similar. If that file is there it will reflash the stock recovery when you reboot, and I've seen it reflash when booting into recovery.
I just used the TWRP manager app from the Play store after reverting to stock recovery and installing the OTA. It worked perfectly the first time.

I'm curious as to what is different.. because the other day after flashing stock recovery back on my phone, taking the update to 212.166.3 KXA21.12-L1.26-3 which Verizon just pushed, I used those EXACT STEPS to put TWRP back on my phone and had no problems.
Beats me ... for me, it didn't work ...
So after I got things back onto the old 4.4.4 version, I put together the FXZ with the modified xml file, and simply re-updated, applying both the update, and TWRP, all in one go.
anyone else on old 4.4.4 can do the same thing if they wish, which was why I posted the links and the instructions.
not to bump this thread, but I had zero issues going from stock with 212.55.26 ota update installed and flashing twrp. it just worked like normal.
i would agree with @superkeest seems like this thread should get renamed.
I have the US version of the ZTE Axon 7 running the B29 build.
I recently unlocked the bootloader successfully, When I flashed the TWRP recovery via fastboot soon after, it worked perfectly. Phone booted properly and worked normally. When I tried to install the TWRP app in the OS, I was told to download the latest TWRP version from the website and flash it (even though I had the latest version already flashed from fastboot). I did that. Now I have no recovery menu at all. I have access to the bootloader menu, and I can boot into the phone. When I try to boot into recovery, all I get is a black screen. I tried to reflash the TWRP recovery img from fastboot like I did originally with no success this time. Fastboot recognizes the phone when I type devices, but when I type the fastboot command to flash recovery twrp.img, it says it can't load the file. I then downloaded the ZTE stock recovery img and tried to flash that with the same result. I assume the recovery partition is locked somehow now? What can I do to recover the recovery? Am I stupidly forgetting something trivial.
hello, this happened to me once on a Nexus 7, I did a clear cache/wipe and restore I think, I got it to work.
Not sure if this will solve your issue but you can give it a shot...
good luck
I would never flash a recovery from an app unless there was no other option. Use tennear/tenfar tool to flash twrp.

Thanks for your suggestion. I cant wipe/flash/ recover/or even reset to factory because I have no recovery menu at all. Unless there's a way to do that outside of the recovery boot menu.
At least it's not bricked.

I want to root my moto g4 plus(unlocked bootloader and twrp flashed). Anyone knows how to root moto g4 plus. And i also want to know that how to increase battery backup after rooting(is it a myth).
@ADITYA_KUMAR this has been asked and explained many times and once more.
- Take Backup
- get Elemental-X kernel (see development section and download correct one )
- flash with TWRP
- get latest SuperSU : SuperSU
- now you can follow same guide of MM from step 5 : Guide
Don't Forget to Take Backup..

What happens if you select Recovery from Bootloader ? Is it booting in Stock Recovery ?
In TWRP go to Backup and make backup of /system /data /boot.
If anything bad happens while flashing/Rooting then you can restore it.
The first time, you must open TWRP from the bootloader directly or the recovery gets overwritten.
For rooting, you can flash Magisk instead of flashing SuperSu. Other steps remain exactly the same.

This is your problem. You must open recovery from the bootloader menu the very first time. Or TWRP is overwritten with stock recovery. I don't know why that is. But that is how it is...

Reboot into bootloader.
Flash recovery - fastboot flash recovery twrp-xxx.img
Open recovery from bootloader menu (by using the volume and power buttons)
From there you can reboot and your recovery will work normally after this, most probably.

Try commands,

Then directly boot into recovery,
Then again boot into recovery through twrp itself (there is option for it in reboot) or try anything.
Thank you guys i successfully rooted my moto g4 plus(xt1643)
Hello, I have an issue with TWRP.
When I reboot to system the next time that I want to enter recovery the phone doesn't enter to recovery, but after flashing it, it does. It says "Without Commands" instead of enter to TWRP. I tried to enter in it on fastboot mode. I installed TWRP 3.2.1 with 3.0.1 Vache.
And yes I already have unlocked the bootloader, I'm on November 1st security patch without root.
What can I do?
Regards to everyone :laugh:
Are you sure that the command you used was fastboot flash recovery twrpxxx.img? Also kingroot pc sometimes tries to install a custom recovery, it got rid of my stock recovery like that.

I stupidly tried using franco's app to flash cleanKernel on my rooted phone on 9.0.11, it failed of course and now can't boot my phone. I'm able to fastboot boot twrp.img but I'm not sure what is needed next. I've downloaded the full 9.0.11 ota file thinking something in it (or all of it) needs to be flashed from twrp. Afraid to do anything at this point for fear of losing data. Any tips are appreciated.
I've downloaded mauronofrio's rom-stock-fastboot utility but see he says it will clear data. I'm assuming all the .bat files will do this. Any way to avoid clearing internal storage?

Hi, I have just got a OnePlus 6T and I am getting this same error even though I am using the twrp.img - when I run fastboot boot 'twrp.img' it sticks on the Fastboot Mode screen.
I have the .zip on the phone's internal storage along with Magisk ready to install but I can't get there.
I did manage to get into Recovery once in the last 3 hours but under Advanced the only 2 options I have are to reboot to fastloader of reboot to recovery which just takes me round in circles!
Have tried everything I can find/think of right now and am no further down the line
Any help guidance will be greatly recieved as nothing I can find on the threads here seem to help
Thanks

When I go into recovery I get to choose 1 of 3 languages, I choose English and then I just get the 2 options as above - thing is, the font, layout etc. make it look like stock recovery and nothing like TWRP I have used before, no TWRP logo etc. Nothing

Ok.. can you get into TWRP? Is so reflash the stock rom.. the once it has flashed do not reboot, go back to install and flash the lastest twrp .zip do not reboot, go back to install and flash/install magisk, once it installs then reboot to system... It will take a bit... Once it reboots check your Magisk manager you may need to reinstall it, reboot to TWRP and reflash it.. reboot to system band you should be good to go...
TWRP isn't there

Thanks and apologies if a two posts appear from me, I submitted one about 20 minutes ago and it isn't showing.
The issue is more than that, even when I try to flash the TWRP image it doesn't seem to take. The phone gets stuck on the 'Fastboot Mode' OnePlus flash screen and hangs there.
I have to hold the power and vol+ keys to get the device to restart and I then receive a message saying 'bootloader unlocked, data insecure etc.' and to press the power to stop the boot process. If I leave it the phone boots into OOS10.3.3.
If I press the power button I can get to recovery mode (albeit there is a password screen there which I have never seen on other devices I've had). I put my password in and choose English. I am then given the two options; reboot to fastboot or reboot to recovery. There is no advanced option to allow me to install TWRP or Magisk zips, as a matter of fact I don't get any TWRP at all, it looks like stock recovery.
Is the phone defaulting to stock recovery and not the TWRP image? That is what, in my very non-expert opinion seems to be happening. Is that possible and if so, any ideas how to fix?
I have completely flashed the phone so it is on stock OOS (10.3.3.) so can start afresh. It is a refurbed 'like new' so could that have anything to do with it?
Thanks for reading the long post - am wondering if there are some other tools I need use to change how it boots?
