Replace recovery - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello , i have flashed CWM Recovery. Now i want to replace that with TWRP. How to do that ? Help ??

2 ways:
- Download a TWRP flashable .zip. While in recovery, wipe cache. Then flash .zip. Then go to "advanced options" in CWM and choose "reboot recovery"
- Download a TWRP recovery.img, and flash it through fastboot. Make sure you have fastboot and adb drivers. Connect phone to pc in fastboot mode. Open a CMD window from where you have your adb and fastboot files, as well as the recovery.img file. In the cmd window type "fastboot flash recovery _______.img" Where the blank spot is, is where you would put the name of your recovery .img file.

Hi,
Third way (Rooted Moto G)
Download TWRP Manager from Google Play and do installation of recovery with...worked perfectly for me

Keep in mind that CWM nandroid backups and TWRP backups aren't interchangeable.

OK
Simply download the twrp and flash it using the instructions on the developer's thread.
It will replace automatically.

I can't see anything on recovery mode

it's empty i try to flash clockworkmod and original version
I can't root
The recovery is not sticking, which is pretty common with alot of us. Simply go into CWM and flash the latest recovery and then reboot. Your recovery will work then (atleast for that time)
a) use adb to flash the cwm recovery (fastboot flash recovery recoveryimagename.img)
b) start recovery on device
c) root via flashing superuser zip
d) reboot phone
e) download a file explorer capable of read and write operations (eg SuperManager)
f) start file explorer and set read/write enabled
g) rename install-recovery.sh (eg to install-recovery-old.sh) in /system/etc folder
h) flash cwm recovery again using adb (basically repeat a))
Now your recovery won't be deleted after a reboot.

TWRP from yannou's recovery

I want to use twrp and i already have yannou's recovery installed.Should i've to flash with twrp............ PLease provide detailed solution.
Download the ZIP from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911242
Extract the ZIP. Start phone in fastboot mode, run "Install TWRP.bat" (assuming you are on Windows; if on Linux/Mac, simply get the fastboot binary for your system and type "./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" in a terminal)
There is a simple way to install any recovery. Just download recovery installer from playstore and install recovery through it. Its working fine

Reboot your device into bootloader mode.
Download a recovery of your choice, and a tool called fastboot.
Put the *.img file of your recovery (preferably TWRP 2.7.1.0) in the same folder as fastboot.
Open cmd.exe in the folder, enter: fastboot flash recovery [filename].img
You're set.

If you'd like to use any custom ROM, device rooting becomes important!
Do as above, personally I prefer ClockWork Mod 6.0.4.7-falcon, but that's merely a particular that is not important.
Once in bootloader,
Hold left shift, right click on folder (or empty space inside the folder) were recovery.img (XXXX.img) is and create a .bat (batch file)
COPY COPY COPY COPY COPY COPY below
::Set our default parameters
@ECHO off
echo. This is a Full Restore and will completely
echo. wipe your phone to stock you will lose
echo. all files on the device
echo. ---------------------------------------------
pause
SET fastboot=fastboot.exe
%fastboot% flash recovery 6047falcon.img - RENAME
pause
COPY COPY COPY COPY COPY COPY above
copy this (ensure you have installed everything else ADB Driver & have fastboot.exe, AdbWinUsbApi.dll, AdbWinApi.dll in the folder)
Rename the above recovery to whatever yours is called,
Run batch file, mine always complains that partition size is a mismatch, nonetheless it works fluidly.

Ignore full restore text, this bat / script file will not wipe anything
Tried TWRP Recovery before My phone did not switch on, 2wice, justr flashed again, so much better than ClockWorkMod Recovery!
CWM works great. flashed with falcon image. then installed cyanogenmod snapshot for moto g. its not good, crashes and battery drain. switched to vanilla android with root.

[HOW TO] Flash a new recovery

Hello guys!
Here is a little (but useful) tutorial by me.
Lets start!
You will need a PC with ADB and fastboot drivers.
As I own a Pico,I installed HTC Android Phone USB drivers.
First recovery that I flashed was Yannous CWM recovery.
It was good but I found better one. Thats PhilZ CWM Touch 5 recovery. It is for advanced users.
Download this file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=913094&d=1329843100
Extract it on your desktop.
Next: Download the recovery you want. This is the link for PhilZ CWM that I use. http://d-h.st/jg9
Extract the recovery file and find recovery.img
Replace that recovery.img with the one in A310E folder.
Now connect your HTC Pico via USB and enter FASTBOOTmode.
Open the CMD founded in A310E folder
Write this in CMD----- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Make sure your recovery is named "recovery.img" (without punctations)
Wait until its over and reboot the bootloader.
Enter the recovery mode and flash this (no need of wiping,this will wipe all) http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2693524&d=1397802687
After that,flash desired ROM.

Oneplus 6 bricked or what?

I sucessfully unlocked bootloader, rooted and installed twrp. I was using my phone today and i try to boot to twrp to flash RenovateIce rom and my twrp shows some strange symbols all folders... also on my computer is the same... When i tried to boot to system it just boot up to twrp again.. I cant boot it to my system.. Help please ...
here is screenshot from my pc:
First, you must ask on the Q&A section.
Second your files appears like that because they are crypted ( the password on your phone is used to decrypt it), and as i know (i may be wrong but yes you lost your data) but you need to delete your internal storage now for it to be able to use it like it should, so in twrp delete your internal storage, install your rom via adb sideload, boot and set up your phone and reflash twrp ( via the cmd and then via the zip)
Did you install renovate? You could try to use an otg drive to remove renovate if that is messing your system. They probably have a rescue zip on their forum. You could also try to flash bluspark twrp if that could help you get into your data. Hope you get your data back, otherwise the full format should revive your phone. Read up before (if)you try my suggestions.
hi ,i have fff*cked my op6 many times and i faced this , now go to bootloader and flash twrp from pc cmd or terminal again , boot twrp now u can enter password , good for now u can install sys again or copy your files to another sd card or pc or u can delete data and install system again or just install u can try and learn from your mistake
sorry bad english
