If you cant flash the original recovery because you are having some trouble with fastboot and accessing the bootloader, try the instructions I posted here:

Try adb shell
Then seperately on the next line, type "su"
If its not found after that, it may be that you dont have root?
If so, just try the "Other Method #1" posted on that thread too. Just note that it requires a full wipe of your device

In twrp can you select mount then mount usb storage? If so your computer should now see sd. If so format your sd card from your pc

[Root] RockMyMoto (Yes, even the first OTA)

This will void your warranty, like all root exploits. Use this at your own risk. Do not take OTAs on rooted devices unless you know what you are doing, as it may cause a bootloop or a soft brick.
RockMyMoto is designed for MotoXs that have recieved the Camera update, patching PwnMyMoto. If you are unsure of your firmware, try PwnMyMoto first.
First step is to install Cydia Impactor, by Saurik. http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/ This is required. You will also need adb installed and working, and be comfortable with the command line. Your phone must be on the same network as your PC.
Figure out the ip address of your phone:
adb shell getprop dhcp.wlan0.ipaddress
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
unzip RockMyMoto-{version}.zip and push the exploit and su to /sdcard/:
adb push su /sdcard/
adb push RockMyMoto.jar /sdcard/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Run Impactor and select "# start telnetd as system on port 2222", then hit start.
Once the process is complete, run telnet:
telnet {your phone's ipaddress} 2222
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Run the exploit through telnet
dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/RockMyMoto.jar RockMyMoto
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The exploit will tell you to use adb to reboot:
adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Run the exploit through telnet for the second time, it will reboot on it's own:
dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/RockMyMoto.jar RockMyMoto
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Run the exploit through telnet for the third time, it will not reboot:
dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/RockMyMoto.jar RockMyMoto
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Wait 0-60 seconds, for su to install, then install SuperSu from the market.
Enjoy!
Known issues:
If you have AP isolation mode enabled in your AP (aka WiFi router) you won't be able to connect to your phone via telnet, disable isolation.

Amazing! Trying now...

Doing this now. Wonderful job jcase.
Edit: It works.

OMG It worked like a charm! Thank you jcase!!!
one thing though
adb push RockMyMoto-1.0.zip /sdcard/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
should have been
adb push RockMyMoto.jar /sdcard/
which should have been extracted with su from the zip.

Okay. I have never rooted like this before. Adb = command prompt? Do I need the SDK? Or just the rockmymoto and the other program?

Also if anyone is not by a PC you can just type getprop and whatever command to get the info you need using terminal emulator. Just don't type adb shell before getprop. And just typing getprop in terminal emulator will list your whole build.prop or you can just type getprop ro.secure & hit enter & that will tell you whether your s-off or not by listing a 0 or a 1. That was just a example if you just want to find out just 1 line like jcase first command to get your ipaddress. You would just type getprop dhcp.wlan0.ipaddress & hit enter & terminal emulator will list your sensitive data if your not by a PC

Okay I finally got it!! Yay Root!

When I try the telnet action, I get an error that the 'link failed File exists'. If I try to proceed to the next step, same error. My router is an Asus router and I made sure Isolation was unchecked, and there was a setting for telnet (never used this before) and I tried both on and off for that one.
Anybody have a clue how I can get through this?
Thanks!

[CWM] 6.0.3.3 for HP Slate 7

I have successfully built ClockworkMod for our HP Slate 7. I have been successful in backup and restore to and from internal SD and external SD. This is confirmed working on 2800 series and 4600 series tablets.
Prerequisites
You must have root to install this.
- Download ROOT install tool http://www.sjroot.com
- After tablet is rooted, install SuperSU from the market and update the su binary
- Verify root access with Root Checker or equivilent
Updates
-Confirmed working on 2800 series by user Joshua11007! Thanks!
-Confirmed working on 4600 series by goodguy25. Thanks!
-Added download link to stock recovery
Install at your own risk. I or anyone else am not responsible for the damage caused to your tablet or breaking warranty.
Issues
If you go into key test the only way out is to reboot is to hold the power button until tablet resets, but i think this normal.
Install from Windows *** Updated installer
If your tablet isn't rooted, please root it first. You must also have ADB working in Windows. This installer will not work from Linux, but I will provide steps below to flash from linux too.
Download attached zip file and extract on Windows PC.
Follow back-up procedure below if you want to backup your factory recovery first. (This can be skipped but you won't have your factory recovery image anymore if you skip it).
Run the Batch file labeled "Install-CWM.bat"
Done! The script will automatically reboot the tablet into recovery when complete.
Install from Linux
Ensure tablet is rooted
Download attached file and unzip it
Code:
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/
Code:
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mtd/by-name/recovery
Code:
adb shell mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.p.old
Done! You have copied the recovery image to the internal SD, copied it to the recovery partition, and moved the factory recovery image so it doesn't over-write CWM the next time you reboot.
Backup Procedure
From your computer with ADB working
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mtd/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/factory-recovery.img
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/factory-recovery.img
You have copied the recovery partition to your internal SD and copied it to your computer.

I hope this goes without saying, but I am the only person that has tested this, so install at your own risk. I or anyone else am not responsible for the damage caused to your tablet or breaking warranty.

Just tested, I can confirm it works.
Most easy way to install on linux :
Use this rkflashkit

Also works across 4600 models. Just don't use key test as you'll trap yourself inside and have to power off manually.

Try taking the CWM .IMG file and flashing it via Flashify.
Sent from my Sero 7 Pro using Tapatalk

I looked through my batch script. I think I need to modify it because it's not executing as root. Use the steps I created for Linux except from Windows command prompt. That's all the batch file is doing.

Strange. Try rerooting, both issues are connected to root. It could be the SU binary as well, does SuperSU want you to update?

I deleted my rom file while doing a wipe. adb sees the device, so I ran from cmd and cd'd into the platform tools directory. Then ran:
Code:
C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools> adb push ROM.zip
But when I run that, I get the man pages or error:closed
At least it's good that adb sees my device after running adb devices. Is there something wrong with the way I'm trying to push the rom over?

You need to tell it what to push it. \sdcard\download. Or something along those lines

if you mean to say command prompt then yes thats the only way i tried apart from ext4_unpacker. Actually i tried to unpack cm13 system.img using ext4_unpacker and i was successful in it but when try to unpack Micromax Canvas5 E481 stock system.img using ext4_unpacker it does not respond and hangs.

Use This Terminal Emulator Code:
Code:su tar -c system/* >> sdcard/system.tar
This will copy all your /system folder to your SDcard with name System.tar
This will take some time to finish so be patient.
