[Q] After erasing the recovery with fastboot my LG p350 don't start

Hello,
I have followed a tutorial for solving the problem of "Fastboot mode started
udc_start()" from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131247 and something was go wrong.
I have done this steps in the sdk platform tools folder:
1- fastboot erase recovery
2- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ( here i've got an error)
3- fastboot reboot
Everyting was ok until I have tried to write the .img file on the phone. I've got an error that I don't have enough space. I think I have deleted the recovery file and now it's stuck, because it's not booting. The 4 leds from the bottom it's flashing continuously and the screen remains to the LG logo. I have tried to connect the phone to the PC but the device it's not recognized anymore. I get this message in the adb tool "Waiting for device"
I really appreciate if it's someone that can help me

I have a p500 and I had the exact same problem as you. But I was able to fix it after a lot of Googling.
Can you get to fastboot right now? If so, make sure that the recovery you downloaded is correctly named "recovery.img" and is placed in the same folder as adb.exe is located. After that, type:
Code:
fastboot devices
into ADB. If your device is listed then proceed and type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If nothing comes up when you ask it to list fastboot devices you need to delete all of the drivers associated with your p350, and then reinstall them using a toolkit or PDAnet. Then go back and try fastboot devices again.

No, I can't get to fastboot. I can't do anything with the command line. It remains to the logo screen

Can you pull the battery and then use the combination to get into Fastboot? If you can't get to fastboot, then the problem is beyond what I'm capable of doing.
Though, the problem may be that you completely deleted your recovery.

That is incorrect. The recovery does NOT have to be named recovery to use fastboot to flash it, although it does make life simpler

[Q] Fastboot mode absent in my phone?

Hey guys,
recently joined this place and its awesome. So many things you can learn...
Ok onto the issue - I was gifted a Micromax A092 a few days back. Qualcomm quad core processor, 1GB Ram, Jelly Bean 4.3.
Well after rooting it somehow (total nightmare - there are a couple of guys in another thread I have been posting in out here, who are still unsuccessfully trying to root theirs) and installing SuperSU and enabling USB debugging, I have hit a brick wall with fastboot mode. The Vol down + Power button combo gets me to the logo screen where it stays till I am forced to pull the battery out to reboot.
Phone does get detected under Device Manager while its stuck on the logo screen and I can install drivers to get it to show up as Android ADB Interface/Android ADB Composite Interface but fast boot refuses to detect it even though adb does when connected normally and executes all commands properly.
Well here's a list of things I have tried:
15 seconds ADB Installer - check
Minimal ADB and fastboot - check
Android SDK with google drivers and unnecessary packages - check
Universal naked drivers - check
Modding the inf files with my devices hardware id's - check
Pdanet+ driver installation method - check
Mobrobo/Mobogenie - check
Manual driver installation - check
Different USB cables - check
Few other random hacks - check
Later gave adb sideloading a shot hoping I could flash a custom recovery onto it via command prompt. No dice there either. Being unable to flash anything means I am still rocking "android system recovery 3e" as my recovery mode which in turn means the dreaded signature verification failed message trying to install 3rd party apps in recovery and sideload mode. I have also tried installing a couple of these custom recovery modes via .bat files but I guess its failing due to the same damn signature verification reason.
Now I know all phones don't ship with fastboot mode but given that this phone was released just a couple of months back and 2 year old inferior phones from Micromax have said feature gives me hope that maybe there indeed exists a way to flash it.
Also got this .dat file from somewhere for apparently flashing my phone with a stock ROM :
@ECHO off
adb reboot bootloader
echo for not erase modemst1 and modest2
rem fastboot flash partition gpt_both0.bin
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash sdi sdi.mbn
rem fastboot flash fsg fs_image.tar.gz.mbn.img
rem fastboot flash modemst1 dummy.bin
rem fastboot flash modemst2 dummy.bin
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
echo for not erase bt and wifi information
rem fastboot flash persist persist.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash usbmsc usbdisk.img
fastboot erase splash
fastboot flash splash splash.img
fastboot -S 256M flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -S 256M flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Seeing a lot of fastboot commands in there make me slightly optimistic if might have a fastboot mode after all?
So anyways what am I missing here? Or does the phone not have fastboot mode at all? Coupled with the fact that the asinine default recovery mode won't allow me to load custom apps via side load, what other options do I have? Is fastboot a prerequisite for flashing?
Really frustrated...a little help please guys...thanks.
PS: What is the difference between bootloader and fastboot mode? I can get my phone into bootloader mode via the necessary adb command but it's still stuck at the logo screen so don't know what to make of it.

[Help] Moto G 4G peregrine issues

Hello,
I have followed the tutorials to unlock the bootloader of my moto G 4G : the bootloader is unlocked and I have removed the message when starting the phone with this tutorial : forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/logo-remove-bootloader-unlocked-warning-t2794104
Anyway, I would like now to install a recovery CWM with this tutorial :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/recovery-unofficial-cwm-6-0-5-0-t2818161
But when I do so, I have the following message on the screen of my phone : "Mismatch partition size (recovery)"
And when I boot on the bootloader then select recovery but nothing appears, just a black screen.
The status code of my bootloader is : 3 and it says "Device is unlocked".
I can boot to CWM from the computer with : fastboot boot recovery.img
but when I type : fastboot flash recovery CWM-6.0.5.0-peregrine.img I get this error.
Can someone help me please ?
Thank you in advance.

instead, you could try this:

Hello Hello,
Thank you for answering.
The command : fastboot boot flash recovery CWM-6.0.5.0-peregrine.img doesn't work because there is too much arguments. It gives me that answer :
cannot load 'flash': No such file or directory
I retried the right command but still the same problem.
I also tried the small program given by this URL on linux : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/moto-g-4g-easyrecovery-toolkit-t2856710
My computer under Ubuntu fails to recognize the device. The device shown is empty.
I will try it on windows then come back here to tell you what happened.

I have the same issue with this program under linux or windows, it doesn't recognize my device. I have activated USB debug, tried under bootloader or with the phone normally started but nothing better.
only fastboot boot recovery.img works.

You have to flash the recovery with mfastboot from motorola when flashing partitions else you will get the size mismatched error.
Standard fastboot is only good for basic things such as getvar etc.
Always flash with mfastboot and it will not error out.
So the command will then be mfastboot flash recovery CWM-6.0.5.0-peregrine.img which should then work without issues

Hello, I have bought the phone less than one month ago.
It was directly on 4.4.4 after unpacking.
Have you tried renaming the CWM file? Maybe the "-" are a problem although I highly doubt it. Did you try re downloading the file? Running the command window as an administrator? Last resort, you could use TWRP, I'm running on this currently and haven't had any problems installing/flashing ROMs with it and imo prefer it over CWM.

I have tried both and they both have the same problem :/ CWM as well as TWRP...
Still no idea what happens.

same problem
I got the same problem using mac..
Impossible to install cwm or twrp also.. i cannot enter in the recovery mode any more
the boot loader is unlocked. I don't know whats going on

Is it normal when entering the bootloader to have the message :
"Device is UNLOCKED. Status code: 3 "
Is it the right status code ?
Thank you

Yes its normal if you have unlocked your bootloader
To get back to stock, download a stock Fw for your device model and region, you can find a link for one if you enter the moto g section of this site and head to moto 4g lte android development section (only section specifically for peregrine model) unpack the fw files into your fastboot directory (windows) reboot your phone to fastboot mode (where u saw the status code) then press control + shift + right click to launch a command prompt window here (from within fastboot directory in windows) then copy and paste these fastboot commands 1 by 1 pressing enter each time until compete.
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot

So you mean, it is compulsory to have stock ROM in order to install the recovery ?
Because my problem is not to return to stock, it is to install a proper recovery (CWM or TWRP) in order to boot on it without my computer.
Thanks for your help

No but I think your problem is you have corrupt the recovery partition size maybe through bad flash or something so ur unable now to flash a recovery as the partition size is for different device or damaged and flashing cwm will no longer work as the cwm image is too big or too small for the allocation assigned to it as the devices core partition table has changed (can happen when u flash something for the falcon when you have a peregrine), I would flash back to stock via that method to restore to stock partition sizes and then reroot and flash cwm again after, just a guess from my own understanding.

Guys I had the same trouble installing the recovery with the mismatched partition size message. This message is normal and the recovery is already installed on your device. The problem i had when selecting the recovery with the following black screen was that I used the Power Button instead of the up Button.
5) using volume down scroll to recovery and then use volume up to select

Hi,
The same boot loop error also I encountered , and here is how i solved it.
1. First U need to download this tool -> HONOR_6_and_6Plus_Multi-Tool
2. run the Honor6MultiTool.bat
3. it will ask to install universal ADB driver. follow the instruction and install
4. then 6th option will be UNBRICK, Enter ur choice: 6
5. Then u follow the instruction
After that the phone will boot.
If any problem will occur do comment below.
All The Best!!

DOWNLOAD stock firmware (update.app) extract from it Recovery.img system.img boot.img cache.img cust.img.and userdata.img. then turn your mobile in fastboot and connect to usb, open CMD in PC and write CD "path to adb.exe", when you are there, copy extracted files there too and write in CMD this lines:
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
