I have a Indian Dual Sim Moto G .I followed the instructions to unlock the bootloader and worked. I tried to install a CWM recovery, got a "mismatched partition size" error, and I can't get into the recovery.Every time i select recovery option the bootloader unlocked warning error appears and then moto g reboots in normal mode.
Its already rooted.
I never tried getting into recovery before unlocking the moto g so i dont know whether installing the cwm ruined it or it was as it is from the beginning.
Edit:Btw i used this link to install the recovery http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_falcon

That error always appears when you flash a recovery or any other partition, you can ignore it
Now for the recovery loop, try to flash the recovery again with any of these:
CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563599
TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2561757
STOCK: inside any 4.4 or 4.3 ROM you'll find a "recovery.img" http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14
Mototool
Try mototool and try to flash recovery with this. Worked perfectly for me and i had no problems. You can find mototool in original Android development section.
Hi, actually the problem you're facing is user-side error.
1) mismatched error is common, you can ignore it (as said above). It's because the recovery you're installing isn't singed by Motorola; it's custom - as name suggest, thus "mismatching".
2) when you reboot your device without actually doing anything, the stock ROM overwrites your custom recovery with factory default one, therefore you should make sure to put all the required files and don't reboot unless you're done.
Hope it helps.
What About ADB?

What if you boot up fully, turn on USB debugging, and use adb from pc to boot to recovery
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Does that work?
I think you are pressing the power button to select the recovery... In Fastboot mode, use up button to select... If you press power button in Fastboot mode, your phone will reboot in to normal mode...

Download it and try flash it again... Download CWM recover img. download the correct version for your model...
Put it in the platform tools directory and put the phone in fastboot mode, connect the USB.. Then open command prompt inside the Platform tools folder..
check whether device is identified by the fastboot or not by using the command "fastboot devices" .. you wil get your device id if it connected.
Then use the beloww command to flash it...
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
once flashed, try open recovery from fastboot.. use Volme up button to select, not powerbutton...
Press Thanks if I helped you...

Removed all my Dropbox links because they disabled my account due to too much traffic, if you guys want them back please consider donating a buck or two for a Mediafire Pro account...I didn't develop this, just getting the word out that's it's officially available for the Nexus 7. You can either install the "normal" version or touch version from ROM Manager
UPDATE 11/16 new version posted by Koush 6.0.1.9
CWM Regular
CWM Touch
Here is the CWM ZIP by osm0sis:
Touch 6.0.1.9
Regualr 6.0.1.9
You NEED an unlocked bootloader in order to flash this check this thread on how-to unlock/root etc Nexus 7 Toolkit
If you just want to apply an OTA update and you haven't got it, you can do so by booting into CWM without installing it or having root.
first download and save OTA files from OTA 4.1.1 files and save to your /sdcard
then use
./adb reboot bootloader
./fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.9-grouper.img
select install zip from sdcard
toggle signature verification and make sure it's disabled
select the file you downloaded earlier and install
reboot and you will be updated
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you want to have CWM permantly installed, first make sure you have root...use Root Explorer or any other file manager with root access and go to /system and delete recovery-from-boot.p
now use
./adb reboot bootloader
./fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.9-grouper.img
./adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You now have CWM installed.
I'm not responsible if you brick your tablet, it blows up mid flash etc
Make sure you know how to use ADB and have the SDK installed, you need that in order to do all of the above steps
Also make sure you have the recovery files saved to /sdk/platform-tools and also fastboot.exe has to be there also
Any commands that start with ./ are for linux/osx...just remove those when using windows

If you already have CWM or another recovery installed and would like to replace it with 6.0.0.6 Touch, I have packaged this file as a flash able zip file.
Download the zip file from http://db.tt/t13uCIRV and flash in recovery. To test, go to advanced -> reboot recovery and CWM Touch 6.0.0.6 should load up.

It works as long as you're connected to a computer, so you can access recovery from bootloader you just need to be hooked to a computer.
I know right,,,almost seems like it is not doing it right but I have went back to a previous backup and it flashed fine!

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------
If you know how to use ADB you can always fastboot a recovery.img,,,,this thing is almost impossible to truly brick. IN order to get into fastboot just connect to your computer and run adb with these commands
adb reboot bootloader
once in fastboot mode write this
fastboot devices
that will tell you if your device is connected and reading in fastboot mode if it is you will see something like fastboot and some numbers next to it. If nothing you do not have the fastboot drivers installed.
then to fastboot flash a recovery.img write this
fastboot flash recovery r3-recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.0.4-nexus7-modaco.img (or whatever recovery.img you are using or have in your tools folder of you SDK location).
and in order to get right into CWM if you cant boot write this
fastboot boot r3-recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.0.4-nexus7-modaco.img
hope that helps

Did you install the ota after you rooted and installed the recovery? I soft bricked too and I think that was the reason why. Something about the ota overwrote the recovery partition. Best thing to do is download ROM manager and click the first option to flash cwm. Then click the next button to boot into recovery. Then just flash the zip I posted to upgrade to touch.
**edit** just tried to boot into recovery from the boot loader and got stuck at the Google screen too. Holding all three buttons rebooted and started up as normal. Maybe the boot loader boot into recovery is pointing to a different partition for some reason?
Booting into recovery from ROM manager works though. That's how I've been getting in.

I tried installing chainfire3d driver in jellybean( i didnt know then that it is not for JB). Now my nexus wont boot into os. it just stays at the unlocked bootloader logo.
1. I can get into recovery mode
2. I have wiped out the cache and factory reset
3. I dont have a update file in my phone.since nexus dont have an external sd card i cant put any file in it directly.
4. I have tried fastboot -it shows my serial ID and i am able to reboot my phone using it but whenever i try to flash recovery.img or update update.zip it shows "cannot load recovery.img" or "cannot update update.zip"
5. I have tried ADB - on using adb shell it shows "error:device not found"
6. on using Odin (not sure whether it is compatible with Nexus s) it detects my phone. when i tried to flash the stock fireware it fails and my device shows "verify image (radio) fail"
Plz help.Is my phone bricked???????
Ok I don't want to be insulting, but you really REALLY need to read on the whole process of Nexus S rooting and using it.
You don't have to use ODIN at all for something so simple. You simply need to reflash a ROM/your ROM.
Mount your SD from within Clockworkmod recovery and transfer a ROM. Then flash it. Done.
What polo says go to recovery- mount and formay- all the way down "mount sd card". Now your phone will be like a usb drive

Power OFF (That works fine)
Then the little green man and the android logo
Followed by USB Control INIT
USB Control INIT End

Conventional wisdom says download some files and fix via fastboot. However in fastbootI can't run ANY of the steps without running FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK. When I run it my phone asks if I really want to unlock the bootloader. when I choose YEs and hit power it just freezes there.
My next thought Boot to recovery and restore. A restore through recovery followed by a reboot leads me back to the original no boot or recovery img.
Okay I'll just sideload a working rom by mounting usb storage. Then I can flash it with CWM and be up and running.
but when I try to do mount the USB Storage I get "E:Unable to write to ums 1unfile (No such file or directory)"
Finally, Last ditch Effort, I'll load up ODIN and use that to put on a working recovery. there's forums all over the place explaining how to do that right? Well yes, but the links to the Tar file are all broken.
What next my friends? I'd really like to get this phone working.

what about just using adb? Can you find it when you type fastboot devices? If so there's a command in fastboot to reboot to recovery I think.
I on the other hand am screwed. I read in another forum that it hangs on unlock because the internal memory is fubar.

Thanks again anche sorry for wonge section....
No. Do NOT use tools like this.
OTA removes root and replaces recovery.
If you want a recovery Download cwm, philz or twrp and fastboot flash recovery image from your pc
If you click the link to the sticky roll-up in my signature, you will find a thread there in section 1 called "adb and fastboot, what is it?". Please read it. You will know everything you need to know

Fastboot flashing a recovery would take less time than it took for you to type out that post.
Thanks all.
I read and I understand that I have to send this commands:
Adb reboot and when device go to bootloader a send:
Fastboot flash recovery recovery. Img
Is it correct?

Multiple ways to get into the bootloader. Another is hold vol down whilst turning on your phone
Since I suggested you read my adb and fastboot thread, I added a new section about command prompt. It explains that you need to tell cmd where the recovery image is but otherwise correct.

Hi,
I installed recovery by fastboot on this way:
- adb reboot bootloader (and the phone was run in bootloader mode)
- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Now the recovery works perfectly. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so glad you took the time to read, understand and do. Now when you have other issues, the knowledge you just learnt will be invaluable.

previously i unlocked rooted my device running stock 5.0
I tried to flash cynogenmod 11s and didn't get installed showing error for" MD5 check"
I tried many times and now i m not able to get into twrp recovery which i installed . Instead its showing stock recovery.
I tried OEM lock to start the process from beginning after fastboot mode showing many times for the process, its stuck in the 'waiting for device' in nexus toolkit and in device , the screen isnt moving from fastboot mode unless i manually start it. after starting manually the bootloader haven't re-locked.
I tried reinstalling my ABDdrivers in pc and did all the process again but nothing worked.
wonder whether the nand memory is fried ???
Do this.... Boot the phone in fastboot mode.... Connect to your PC and confirm with fastboot devices if the same is recognized ....
If it is.... Check the current status of the bootloader of it being unlocked or not.... If it is unlocked .... Just flash the stock image

i jus tried it .
and also flashed the stock image , its in unlocked state only.
but i m not able to relock it or get into the twrp recovery which i installed
the phone always stops in the process before getting into recovery mode. after getting in the bootloader mode, the pc shows ' waiting for device ' and the phone stops the process waiting in the bootloader.

So you can normally boot ? If you can, the nand memory is fine. Can you reflash stock bootloader using TWRP ? Can you try "adb reboot recovery" to see whether it boots to recovery or not ?

i m not able to get into TWRP . every time i get into recovery , only stock recovery is facing me even after flashing TWRP many times. The phone isn't entering the recovery mode and its staying in bootloader whenever the command for entering TWRP is given.
Are you doing all this through a toolkit?

Wait. Let me get this straight, so when you flash TWRP, the stock recovery persist ? But you said the phone isn't entering recovery mode ? What command do you use to enter TWRP ?
Sorry if I asked too much, I wanted to help but your words kinda contradict each other.

If you are using a tool kit.... Sorry can't help.. Search a bit and find the command.....
P.S tool kits are dangerous

Stop now and go read a fastboot guide

First of all. Don't. Never. Ever use toolkits. 99% of questions here could be avoided if you had read fastboot guide instead of using toolkit...
