[Q] How long does it usually take to flash 10MB stock recovery? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI there. I want to update the latest OTA for UK (bought my phone from amazon.co.uk)
So I downloaded Blur_Version.174.44.9.falcon_umts.Retail.en.GB kitkat version since I have 4.4 and extracted it and tried to install stock recovery over not working TWRP. So I did fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
This is what I see in windoze terminal:
Code:
>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (10240 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.375s]
writing 'recovery'...
This is what I see in fastboot:
Code:
cmd: getvar:partition-type:recovery
cmd: getvar:max-download-size
cmd: download:00a00000
cmd: flash:recovery
What could be wrong with not properly installing stock recovery?

Where can I get stock recovery for xt1032 bought from amazon.co.uk running kitkat?
I have no problem installing TWRP (which is buggy in my case and has not features of backing up or restoring).

It happens the same with Blur_Version.14.71.8.falcon_umts.Retail.en.GB jelly bean version.
Any ideas where I can get stock recovery for xt1032?
Found one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616399
However I get the same as with previous ones:
Code:
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (10240 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.378s]
writing 'recovery'...

Hmmm...no solution for your problem atm.
But you'll find the stock recovery in the zip you've downloaded.
So just extract recovery.img
....maybe something ist wrong with the partition.
If you want you can try to erase it:
fastboot erase recovery

If I erase partition, will fastboot flash recovery recovery.img recreate it? Or do I have to create it by hand before I try to flash new recovery?

I tried and it's the same. I can't flash stock recovery. It hangs at
Code:
writing 'recovery'...
So for me as I have rooted, unlocked bootloader and encrypted. The only solution for installing newst update that fixes loss of signal is to:
1) factory reset my phone -> loose encryption
2) try to install stock recovery afterwards?
or:
1) Follow this guide for installing stock recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47820707#post47820707
which will also have stock recovery or not? And do I have to factory reset before I perform this (due to my phone being encrypted) or not?
Doesn't factory reset needs working recovery?

With awesome user on @freenode, awesome user @utkanos helped me with ditching /data by making f2fs file system:
1) go to recover (in my case broken TWRP)
2) adb shell (from OS)
3) mkfs.f2fs /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata (from OS)
All done. Reboot and you are out of encryption and all user data and apps. Will try to flash stock recovery now.
edit1: tried to flash it with fastboot command but it hanged like in all previous attempts. So I installed OTA even thoug I had philz recovery. The effect was like that that it went to philz recovery and wrote about this signature is not ok.... I taped ignore and it did go to a ahalf of bar progress and then just rebooted and went into system. After couple of seconds it just rebooted and the procedure repeated itself.
edit2: Managed to flash it with mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
mfastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
FINALYY! And then it installed update properly 176.44.1.en.GB rooted, unlocked

[Q] Flashed the LPX13D image and now my recovery is gone.

Hi Guys,
Hoping you can help me with this.
I was originally running Slimkat 4.4.4 and had the latest TWRP installed.
I downloaded the file for LPX13D and extracted all of the files right down to the Flash-all.bat and the images for bootloader, radio, and the system.
I ran the Flash-all.bat, and it installed everything successfully. The device booted, and voila, I am on 5.0 now.
The problem now, is that when I reboot into recovery, I am instead met with the little android guy laying on his back, with a red triange/exclamation point in his chest.
No problem, I say to myself. I'll just flash TWRP manually.
So I go to the bootloader, and try the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (renamed to make it faster to type.)
It goes through the motions, and says it was successful.
But when I go to recovery, it's the same red triange guy still.
I tried pressing volume up, power+volume up, etc. No dice. After about 30 seconds, it reboots on it's own back to system.
When I connect it to the Nexus Root Toolkit, and click on Flash recovery, and then choose TWRP latest, I get a window that pops up that tells me :
______
File Dependency Download
Status: Stock Kernel: Not Present - Need to download (this is in red)
Then a button that says "Download + Update All File Dependencies"
So what's my best option here? Should I let the NRT update the dependencies?

Twrp is not optimized yet well like cwm is for andorid l
Recovery won't work AT ALL no matter what you do until you reflash a KK userdata.img, which also wipes all data in the process.
Lethargy said:
I flashed the new developer preview for 5 minutes or so then went to revert. Recovery wouldn't boot not matter what I flashed, until I flashed a KK userdata.img. So it seems like the new developer preview changes the internal storage/data partition more then the old one.

Well, Twrp worked until I rebooted and then tried going back to it. Then bam! back to the error dude with the triangle.
So, I flashed cwm again, and that one seems to be persisting after a reboot, so I guess I'm stuck with cwm for now....
I also flashed the boot.img and the supersu update to get root working, and it seems to be going well now.
Cwm tells me that I may have lost root immediately after flashing the supersu update, but when I reboot, root is actually working. What a weird bunch of crap to go through.

It isn't whether its persisting or not. TWRP just won't boot properly until you reflash a KK userdata.img. I don't know why CWM would even boot up, nor why anyone would want to really use it anyways.

Okay:
So I extract the userdata from a 4.4.4 stock image, yes? If not, can you point me in the direction of the correct userdata.img
I assume the correct order and syntax is:
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastbook flash recovery twrp.img
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
Select recovery
Wipe data/Factory reset, and then and reboot system.
Set up phone as normal.
Have I overlooked anything?

Yeah. Don't need to boot into recovery and wipe data since flashing a .img with fastboot while in bootloader erases it first then flashes. Just make sure you backup your stuff, including internal storage, off to a PC first if you have anything important.

Bricked shield Tablet, fastboot only works.

Going through some of the threads here got me as far as being able to use fastboot on my bricked Shield.
I would like to ask if anyone can give me some pointers what to try next.
The previous owner tried to flash Lineage OS onto the Tablet using CWM but this failed and he probably wiped some needed partition.
I tried to flash new partitions and this works but I can not start the Shield and it won't boot into CWM. The strange thing is that I tried flashing TWRP and even though that started it did not boot through. And after a simple Shield reboot the CWM logo popped upmagain.....:confused
I was convinced I could fix this but I am beginning to think that this Tablet is a goner...
Any thoughts would ne appreciated.
What happens if you download an original recovery image from Nvidia for your model, and flashboot flash all 5 (recovery, boot, system, userdata, blob)? Do you get any fastboot errors? If the partition structure is corrupted, you'll see some sort of error message.
If the blob is messed up sometimes TWRP won't start. I suggest getting a factory image and trying again, then giving it a long time to boot. Once mine took 20 minutes at the Nvidia screen.
I did try flashing the original image from Nvidia including the other 4 images. One of the first things I tried. I woyld like to get it back to factory default. This went without issues an no errors. I might not have given it enough tine to but but still CWM seems to be on.
Will give it another try and post a screenshot.

Here is a dump of the flash log. After flashing I reboot and the CWM logo pops up after a few minutes and gets stuck.

Think it is done for, after flashing TWRP numerous times it let me get to the start screen for TWRP it then hangs. When you reboot the Shield and want to go to the recovery again you get the dead android.
PS. I can sometimes get into TWRP but it fails on everything I do. Would there be a terminal solution for this? Like re-creating partitions?

Try to flash the attached file. Remember to unzip it first! Flash with:
"fastboot flash dtb tegra124-tn8-p1761-1270-a04-e-battery.dtb"
Flashed the battery file and did another flash of NVIDIA's recovery image and even-tough it says everything is flashed correctly when I reboot I get the CWM logo and nothing more. When I do get into TWRP and try to flash a ROM I get messages errors like attached.

Then my guess would be some problems with the internal storage which may not be repairable.
Using fastboot try the following
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot format cache
Fastboot format userdata
Make sure your tablet is in bootloader mode first though.

Can't enter TWRP

I wanted to flash the latest update of RR7 but when i tried to get into the recovery the phone would reboot and show the twrp starting screen and then it would reboot again and start normally. I figured something must have gone wrong and reflashed twrp from my pc, however the issue persists. Flashify doesn't work either. So aside from a clean install, is there a workaround?

Then something is really wrong with your internal memory. Because that boot command in the post above does not use TWRP installed on your phone, it's a "temporary" TWRP booted from your PC folder.
Even if you've never installed TWRP on your phone (still have stock recovery) you can still boot to TWRP for a one-time/one-off session by using those commands. Do whatever you want, like install SuperSu, and when you reboot, you'll still have stock recovery!

Root: Stuck at "Your device is booting now"

Hello! I tried to root my Honor 6x (BLN-L21, EMUI 5.0) following the instructions there:
cyberkey.in/how-to-root-honor-6x-100-working/
The bootloader was successfully unlocked.
But when I tried to flash TWRP the process failed and now my phone is stuck on boot :
"Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted [...] Your device is booting now."
I can get access to recovery and fastboot. I wiped the cache and tried a factory reset but nothing changed, my system won't start and I don't know what to do.
Please help!

The guide from "cyberkey.in/how-to-root-honor-6x-100-working/" is simply wrong when it comes to flashing the twrp recovery. If you really followed this guide completely then you flashed the recovery to the boot partition.
Use "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" to flash the recovery.
You will still have to flash the boot image to your boot partition then (fastboot flash boot boot.img).

Ok so basically I need to flash the boot image. However I don't know where to find the stock boot image. I downloaded the so-called "full version" of the stock firmware that I found here: boycracked.com/2017/07/20/official-huawei-honor-6x-bln-l21-berlin-l21-stock-rom-firmware/
However there was no boot.img file inside.
If you could direct me to the proper stock boot.img or send me one, that would greatly help. I had EMUI 5.0 with Nougat 7.0 I believe, phone version BLN-L21.

I recommend you to download firmware files only from the official honor website or by using the huawei firmware finder(https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146)
In this case try to use huawei firmware finder to get the right stock version for your phone. Download these two files: e.g. update.zip & update_full_BLN-L21_hw_eu.zip.
Export the following image files: recovery, system, boot and cust.
The try to flash them:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If flashing a partition via fastboot fails then it is usually because it's the wrong image or just not made for your phone.
Thank you guys, you saved my phone! I eventually managed to flash the files from Nougat update for European Honor 6X BLN-L21C432B360 that I found there: stechguide.com/honor-6x-b360-nougat-update/

Hello, could you be more specific about your problem? I'll be able to help you.
Brief Explanation:
From the screen on which you're stuck, press and hold power button for about 10 seconds to forcibly restart your device. when you see the same screen again, immediately press and hold volume up button(for about 3 seconds) to boot to eRecovery.
> Choose shut down option on eRecovery. press and hold vol down button and insert the charging cable to boot to fastboot.
> Press and hold power and volume up button to boot to recovery. (You could do this even from fastboot screen and the screen you're stuck at).

Cannot flash TWRP with latest OTA (5.4)?

I'm trying to obtain root on a Shield K1 that has the latest ota update (5.4).
I've unlocked the bootloader, but the latest TWRP just won't flash, says OK and writes to recovery, but same stock recovery stays there.
Do I need to use an older developer image, one that was released prior to the latest TWRP?
This is what the terminal is giving me:

finished. total time: 0.993s
Then, when I reboot to recovery, I get a dead robot with a little ? & "No command"
EDIT: OK, I fixed it, by using "fastboot boot twrp.img" and then installing lineage and then installing twrp
I didn't know that you could boot an image without installing it that's really good to know.
So that's a workaround.
I could just compile a new TWRP but that would take effort

You definitely don't need to do that. I have a K1 on 5.4, and TWRP works fine. Although I did already have TWRP installed before flashing 5.4. So not sure if that makes a difference.
Try fastboot erase cache, and flash a different TWRP build (like a build or 2 older such as 3.1.1-0).
I fixed this already
