[Q] Unable to get to TWRP Recovery

Hi
I am hoping someone can help me please?
My phone was already rooted and not really had any issue up until yesterday.
I have been trying to get a lollipop ROM onto my phone. In the process i decided that it would be wise to update my TWRP recovery to the latest using the play store TWRP app. Having done that, when i now try to get to recovery, the phone hangs on the 'Reovery Booting...' message.
How can I move forward from here? Am i able to flash the original version of the TWRP using odin again?
Thanks in advance
Manny

Yes, maybe the TWRP Manager detected one update (TWRP 2.8.5.0) and installed it but this version have bugs. It was deleted of the official page of TWRP too. Flash via ODIN the older version (TWRP 2.8.4.0) and all will be solved. Good luck :highfive:.

I used Nandroid manager to flash the img of twrp when I rooted my phone. Because Odin failed to flash it.

Moto X Play ROM problem

Hello everyone!
So i installed the CM12 rom for Moto X Play xt1562 version. Everything went fine until i did a factory reset. I first had a bootloop and could go inside the rom again. Then i did a factory reset and now i cant get pass TWRP..
I have been searching on the forum for clues why and how to solve my problem but cannot find anything.
Just to describe what message i get is :
" failed to mount /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system at/system: No such file or directory."
I have the "stock" rom aswell but the same message appear when i do this
I'm very happy if someone have the answare to my million dollar question!
Thanks in advance!

I'm confused. You flashed cm12, then it booted fine. You went back into twrp and did a factory reset? At this point you couldn't boot anymore. You then tried to flash your stock ROM with twrp?
I know there may be a language barrier, but I'm having trouble following. Are you trying to go back to stock to sell?

Had a hard time explaining this problem.
I worked it out and got it fixed by installing the newest version of TWRP but when i'm trying to install the latest "stock" version of Moto X (found in this forum, EU-Version) it just fails. So i have to install CM12 and dont have ny choice.
Thanks for the answare dictionary!
Off topic, is it possible to install another camera then stock Cm12?

You can't install the stock ROM by recovery. You have to extract the contents of the zip and use fastboot from your computer to flash. Glad you're at least up and running though.
Yes you can install Alternate cameras.

Just how are you trying to flash it? Are you unzipping the zip, and flashing each step individually, like posted in the linked thread?

Flash stock recovery I imagine it's checking the signature and failing when it sees twrp.
Oh and I've installed moto camera app and gallery they work great. Available as a flashable zip in the camera thread I posted. A user shared the link.

I flashed stock while I didn't flash the stock recovery over my twrp. Granted, on reboot I had the android lying down, but it flashed no problem. Just went and flashed twrp again and all was well.

I just flashed a TWRP .img to my Huawei Y3II (LUA-L02) but it only made my phone enter a boot loop.
I don't know how to fix it...
I'm guessing I'd need to go back to the 'stock recovery' but I don't know where to get the original .img file.
PLEASE HELP!!

If you are able to successfully root please contact

Wow
Wow thank you so much for sharing that TWRP. I did manage to get a recovery going and the phone now does not reboot over and over. But it still does not start, just stops at Huawei image. I think I may need the stock firmware, but it is difficult to find for LUA-L02.

You've to be on Stock recovery to be able to intall/flash official OTAs from motoroal. TWRP is a custom recovery which doesn't go well with these official OTAs.
Flash stock recovery first & then try to update:good:

Sorry but I don't have the recovery.img for XT1642, search the forums maybe you'll get something helpful or download the correct stock firmware for your device & flash the recovery.img from it

It's the same way you used to flash twrp recovery, in (m)fastboot mode use the command-
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
or
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Stuck in TWRP after pushed upgrade 28s

This morning I my phone pesented itself in TWRP.
Maybe this is because over the past days I repeatedly got notifications that a system upgrade wanted to install itself (I have a modified 26s X720 from Tora33).
I rejected those notifications.
Now I am stuck in TWRP and I cannot get around it. What I tried:
Reinstalling previous firmware (Tora33 26s) still on the phone
Restoring a TWRP backup from 6 months ago (TWRP didn't see it, maybe it's from a previous TWRP version, I now have v. 3.1)
Flash via fastbood factory image using Mauro's Tool All In One (error message "can't find file mke2fs.conf")
Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, system; then install Mauro_V2.2 cleansed 23s firmware which I transferred to the phone
Every time it boots up in TWRP.

Your bricked you never flash ota with twrp you should read before doing anything.
The only thing that can help is ofil.
I suggest you study well before trying it.

Oh boy. Thanks anyway. OTA flashed itself, couldn't stop it. Maybe I made it worse by trying to fix.
The bootloader is not locked according to the AIO tool. I can flash succesfully any firmware, only after flashing the phone will still boot in TWRP. It is strange it still boots in TWRP. Is there no simpler trick like flashing the standard recovery and then flashing OFW?
You mention Ofil; do you think the guide described here work?

Yes, that QFIL guide is for the x720.

In my opinion, the best way to return stock is to push update.zip into phones main folder, then install stock recovery, then in this one install update zip then check that OS is working. If it is, then go into twrp and wipe. Can't do it?
I'll mention myself;

If he was just going back stock that would work he flash 28s ota with twrp so this will not work.

No brick after OFW push 28s
The pushed (unvoluntary) update didn't brick my phone after all. This may be important for those that have modified stock ROMs with TWRP.
Not being able to restore OFW was a bug in Mauro's All-in-One tool which he fixed last night. After I could easily flash 20S or 26S stock from his repository. I would also recommend this as safest/easiest procedure. Afterwards you can just flash TWRP from the same tool and move from there.
By the way, immediately after flashing 20s the FW notified it wanted to update itself, again!
