[Q] Custom Recoveries - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someone point me to a procedure to install a custom recovery. I'm currently on the stock recovery, have downloaded a CWM .img file, but don't know how to "flash" it using the stock recovery. Or is that not the way it's done at all? Thanks for the assistance.

Hi,
[GUIDE] Nexus 5 - How to Unlock Bootloader, Install Custom Recovery and Root

You need to flash it in fastboot. Boot into the boot loader and, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. where recovery.img is the cwm image file

[A510] I need stock system.img

I need stock system.img in order to flash it via fastboot. I have deleted my recovery and now i have no rom installed so i need these files. Hope someone can uploaded them fast because i am running out of time.
As said by PM
Reboot in fastboot, and do
fastboot boot recovery.img
(using CWM or TWRP)
In recovery, you will be able to flash a ROM or restore a backup.

[Q] Can't flash recovery / no recovery

Hi,
So I flashed twrp using adb, and now when I try to boot into recovery mode it says: "No command."
I'm on stock 5.1 Lollipop N5 with unlocked bootloader.
How do I get twrp or some kind of recovery back on my phone?
Re-download the twrp recovery image. Then boot into the bootloader and:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img. Where twrp.img is the name of the twrp image file you downloaded.
On 5.1 I've had to boot into twrp, flash supersu, then flash twrp
fastboot boot twrp.img
Flash supersu in twrp, then,
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Z3 Dual [D6633] - Don't boot in to recovery

Hello guys, I don't have no more idea to fix it.
Today I unlocked my bootloader, all was Stock and no Root. I want try This Lineage OS 15 and is mandatory flash the TWRP to install the Rom.
OK, I unlocked my bootloader and downloaded TWRP Dual Version, extracted the img file from zip and flashed in fastboot mode like the tutorial says: fastboot flash FOTAKernel recovery.img
the flash was donne fine but I can't enter in recovery mode, I tryed in adb adb reboot recovery but isn't work too, anyone have an idea?
Attached some images to explain...
Sorry for my bad english.
Forget, xkeita give me a tip and I can now enter in recovery, I suppose that the Stock kernel don't boot it, just flashed the Kernel rom that I want to use and in sequence, flahsed the TWRP and it worked.
Sumary:
1. I extracted the Boot.img from ROM ZIP and flashed it with: fastboot flash boot boot.img
2. I Extracted the TWRP IMG and flashed it with: fastboot flash FOTAKernel recovery.img
reboot the phone, and turn on pressing vol key down ultil boot in TWRP.
Maybe this is usual to someone.
Thanks a lot @xkeita and @serajr for all the help and suport, I Learned a lot, thanks.
Moderators, can Lock this tread please....

How To Guide Xiaomi 12S Ultra TWRP(unofficial)

12S Ultra unofficial TWRP - link MEGA
Credit - UnofficialTWRP
They released TWRP under 12S Pro, but the code name is Thor which stands for 12S Ultra, and after flashing, I do confirm this is for 12S Ultra.
now they have a proper 12S Ultra section!
Download the image and rename as recovery.img for simplicity.
fastboot boot recovery.img (or full file name)
in TWRP, go to "Advanced" and "flash this twrp."
edit: the recovery image file is too large to be flashed directly via fastboot, so you need to boot first then flash using twrp!
edit2: backup and restore function may not be working properly on this version of twrp! I get boot loops everytime I do a full system backup and full restore after bricking the device, especially on the data partition. Clean installing rom then restoring data only still get boot loops. so use it with caution.
I suggest you to use 3rd party backup apps to do backups on apps and data, and stick to the flashing and other functions only for twrp.

No. You must type fastboot flash boot recovey. img

No I'm pretty sure it's:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
However my question was why the method outlined by @Nabicook vs this method. Is it because of the dual partition?

Because not only it is the method unofficialtwrp suggested, but also the size of the recovery img file is too large to be flashed via fastboot.
I already tried
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery_a recovery.img
and so on, but all failed.
only way to properly install this version of twrp is to boot first then let twrp to install itself to both a/b partitions.
Hi!

are you sure you did
fastboot boot (your recovery file name).img
it should automatically boot into twrp without touching anything from fastboot mode.
then install twrp through the advanced option in twrp

Still having issues:
After flashing twrp + magisk, reboot sends me into fastboot mode ..
As I get it, previously I've messed up with boot image, flashing recovery into that partition
So question is:
Do I need to reflash stock boot.img (need help with getting it, stock recovery rom is packed into .bin and I'm unable to extract boot image
Or can I simply reflash stock ROM (in recovery or fastboot mode?)
*my phone is unlocked already

yeah you can try flashing stock boot img, and if that doesnt work, you can download fastboot rom and flash stock rom using flash all without wiping data(there is .bat file that says something like install without formatting).
That will fix any kind of brick issues of xiaomi device, and you just redo the twrp part.
