I've tried to install CM on a A700 following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984566
Problem is, I can't get CWM to install. More specifically, after flashing the recovery image, I issue the command "fastboot boot recovery.img", the console and tablet say the image is being downloaded and booted, but nothing happens. Even fastboot command are not accepted until the tablet is rebooted. Any idea how to proceed?
I also tried rebooting the tablet after flashing the recovery image and using ADB to boot into recovery, but apparently CWM is overwritten again.

I used version 6.0.2.3 and it worked.

Backstory: I tried to load Cyanogenmod on my phone; but first I had to load TWRP recovery in order to get to load it. This is where the issue came; I decided to go the easy route and attempted to install it through Flashify (an app on the Google Play store); upon restarting my phone; it was bricked. I went into EVERYTHING, when I tried to go into recovery it would just send me through the bootloop and then send me to AP Fastboot.
Confused, I called Motorola; and was notified and Flashify had removed my prevoius recovery and failed to but TWRP resulting in this.
Issue: So what I did is I got the CWM recovery specific for my phone (XT926) and went into ADB fastboot and typed "fastboot flash cwm.img", from my ADB folder of course. Then when I booted into recovery, nothing happened; it would just send me through the bootloop again. Please help.

Try another recovery / another version. Did the trick for me and you have nothing to lose
I have 2 XT925s. I bricked one to the point that I could boot to fastboot but could not even get into stock recovery. I was running stock 4.4.2.
I did the following.
I got the DROID_RAZR_HD_Utility_1.41. I used the TWRP 2.7.1.0 in that utility specifically for XT925.
I used fastboot to manually flash TWRP into the recovery partition.
DO NOT reboot past boot menu. Right after flashing, boot into recovery. That should give you TWRP.
I used TWRP to Install CM11 snapshot. I had to manually flash into the modem partition, the modem file also obtained from the above utility. You will need to flash in gapps for 4.4.2.
That recovered the bricked phone.
Of note, I was able to flash TWRP in the other phone. Backed it up. Transfered the backed up OEM ROM into the phone running CM. And get it to run stock ROM.
I now have one running CM11, and one running stock 4.4.2. I'm just comparing battery life. I've noticed CM11 has a smaller memory footprint than stock 4.4.2.
Cheers
did not work for me anywhere to be found stock 4.4.2 recovery img for 926?
Hi,
I hope this question wasn't asked before, I couldn't find a solution to my problem yet.
I tried using the toolbox to flash Philz and later TWRP recovery. the phone booted normaly and not to the custom recovery.
When I tried to boot to custom recovery the stock recovery loaded instead.
I even tried the command prompt method.
Eventually I used the command m=prompt method and immediately manually booted to recovery and the custom recovery (Philz this time) loaded. I though I was done, but right after I set up the phone as I like it and wanted to make a backup of it, the stock recovery loaded instead of the custom recovery.
any ideas?
what as I doing wrong?
Thanks
Unlock bootloader amd ise the fastboot commands to flash tje recovery permanently. Guides in the general section.
I see I need to elaborate
I will tell you what I did step by step.
1. Using the toolbox (V6), I unlocked the bootloader, the phone booted as if it was just got out of the store (all my data was erased)
2. Entered the gmail account and basically went through the entire initial setup process.
3. Booted to fastboot again and flashed TWRP recovery (using the toolbox).
4. The phone automatically booted normally (not to custom recovery)
5. I tried booting to custom recovery and I got the stock recovery instead
6. Booted to fastboot again and flashed Philz recovery this time (using the toolbox).
7. The phone automatically booted normally (not to custom recovery)
8. I tried booting to custom recovery and I got the stock recovery instead
9. I opened command prompt and used the "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" command, the recovery.img I got from the "philz_touch_6.59.2-bacon" zip file.
10. I immediately forced boot to recovery and got Philz
11. I set up my phone as I like it (app + settings)
12 tried booting to recovery again (from power off of course) and got the stock recovery again !!!!
Any ideas?
I tried again and partially succeeded
Hi,
I decided to do all using the command prompt.
This time I disabled the CM Recovery Protection (though I clearly remember doing so before but might have done it before unlocking the bootloader).
I tried flashing using "fastboot flash recovery" command TWRP recovery but when I tried booting to the recovery I got one vibration (the one supposed to be before the recovery loads) and after a few seconds (+1 logo on screen) I got another vibration and the system normally booted (not to recovery).
I did it again with Philz and it worked, I booted twice to recovery and it holds.
The only difference was that Philz recovery was named recovery.img and TWRP was named TWRP.img, I don;t think that matters.
I really wanted TWRP. don't know why it didn't work.
This question has been asked several times, see the FAQ thread:

I used adb to install TWRP onto my Nexus 5. Now it is in a bootloop, and TWRP does not seem to be able to mount anything. When it reboots it looks like it automatically goes to the TWRP where it says it is running OpenRecoveryScript but it is unable to mount anything. I tried a boot start to Recovery and it worked but when i tried a factory reset it says the same thing.
Any help would be great.

Try flashing TWRP with fastboot:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery name_of_your_TWRP_file.img
fastboot reboot
How did you solve that problem?
Ok.... So i unlocked my bootloader on a verizon pixel and installed magisk with a patch boot image. no problem
I just tried to install TWRP (3.2.2). I booted the image first, the flashed the TWRP zip in the booted image. Then TWRP would boot, but only TWRP would boot. it would never progress to booting up the rom.
So i found a thread that suggested flashing the magisk patched boot image.... that just made it worse. It would only boot to recovery... and NO FASTBOOT. I was able to get to the menu and use adb to side load the latest OTA. Now i can boot into the ROM and use the phone as usual
However, I still don't have fastboot in recovery mode. I don't think its drivers. I must have mucked up recovery. It gotta be related to the TWRP snafu. I can boot into the stock boot loader and my PC beeps and recognizes the phone, when i use the arrows to go to recovery, my pc loses the device. My PC just can't see the pixel in recovery mode.
Not sure how to proceed
Can I side load the factory image after removing the wipe tag (-w)? Do i need to factory reset?
Am an idiot.... fastboot works in bootloader.... please delete
I unlocked the bootloader through mi unlock tool. I flashed official twrp from their site, 3.3.1-0-violet.img but when I tried booting it into recovery, it got stuck at twrp logo. Then I learnt that it's necessary to wipe userdata using fastboot first so I did that. Then, when twrp started, it was unable to install/wipe/mount any partition. Tried installing magisk using sideload, did work but then device stopped booting.
Figured out a way on how to fix the mount issue, twrp working fine, but then I accidentally wiped /system. Now my device only opens in fastboot, even though I've tried installing, erasing and reinstalling that twrp recovery as well as a couple of others I found in pixel experience forums for my device.
I've got all the stuff needed to install pixel experience, fcrypto disabler, xiaomi latest firmware and the rom itself. Can anyone guide me on how to install it using fastboot?
Also whenever I try booting the recovery image straight from fastboot, it says that command failed, too many links.
I can't boot into recovery via vol up + power button, fastboot doesn't recognize command fastboot reboot recovery.
you need to install stock rom ,then flash twrp but newer unofficial twrp and orangefox twrp boots into recovery even if system partition is empty.
try installing unofficial twrp or orangefox.
orangefox is recommended .
