[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.

I got this problem when installing CWM too. I believed the problem is in this line:
fastboot flash recovery CWM-6.0.5.0-peregrine.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
instead, you could try this:
fastboot boot flash recovery CWM-6.0.5.0-peregrine.img
When I did this, it worked. Give it a try. You could also try this little program, I changed CWM to TWRP with it.

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

Have you tried going back to a stock 4.4.4 if you have ota'd to 4.4.4 you need 4.4.4 stock image.

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

Did you find any solutions for this ?
I'm still stuck
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
Back to stock

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.
Sent from my XT1039 using XDA Free mobile app
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

[HELP!] Asus Fonepad 7 fe170cg stuck at lollipop

3 days ago I got a lollipop ota update to my fe170cg. Everything is cool except rooting. I want to root this device like a used to do at kitkat.
But I couldn't find any solution to root this device. I also tried VampireFo's tethered CWM recovery but no luck with that it is not even flashing CWM because of the tigth locked asus lollipop bootloader. I also tried to downgrade to kitkat because of the lollipop recovery But I couldn't downgrade. Now I have no more chance to root this device. And no chance to downgrade to kitkat as well. So I decided to ask professionals like you. I really need help!!. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks from now for any response.

Hey there!
Not sure this will help you or not..for me it just doing good. Try use fastboot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
Then you need you flash the a stock firmware. UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.33-user
Download the appropriate firmware from Asus website. There are three .img files in the firmware zip file (fastboot.img, boot.img, splashscreen.img).
Copy all these three files to the extracted folder. Now type the following command in the command window one by one:
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash splashscreen splashscreen.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then you get your droidboot back.
user Temp CWM IntelAndroid-FBRL-05-16-2015-PTR to flash UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.33-user
so that you can downgrade to kitkat

Try to use H6 multitool ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/general/honor6-multi-tool-t2963060 ) and reinstal stock recovery. You have to start the program using Honor6MultiTool.bat file and folowing the instruction on the screen. The program will get the recovery file from net automaticaly. After that try to write using the steps from 2nd post or use the same H6 multitool with unbrick solution.
