Help with stock recovery - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just reflashed the moto g stock recovery using moto tool so that I can flash the official 4.4.3(I was using TWRP before).But the thing is that when I reboot to stock recovery,there is this dead android logo but no options like wipe,apply update etc.Shouldn't these options be present in the stock recovery or did I do something wrong?I cannot tell if the recovery is working or not.

I don't think the stock recovery is supposed to have these options anyway... I think it does all the work when you apply an update in the settings... It automatically reboots to recovery and installs to make sure that users don't do it themselves.

It has wipe data/apply update options. When you see the dead android, you have to press the vol up button for 10-15 secs then tap the power button to get into the recovery.

Moto G ClockWorkMod Problems

Hi everybody, I recently rooted and installed ClockWorkMod through ROM Manager on my Moto G. I was going to flash Cyanogenmod 11 but CWM didn't recognized root for some reason. So I unrooted the phone and kept CWM because I couldn't find the stock recovery. Yesterday I decided to try flashing Cyanogenmod again but I also wanted to reflash CWM because mines wouldn't dectect root so I plugged it into my PC, ran the 1-click installer for CWM and when I boot to recovery it boots into Fastboot instead and boots into Android 5 seconds later no matter what I select. Can anyone help me fix this problem?
Thanks

I flashed CWM through fastboot but still nothing. I held down power and volume down to get into recovery but instead it went into fastboot and when I select Recovery it boots into Android. BTW I'm on 4.4.2 GPe.
Did you try flashing supersu through cwm? That should root it

I've actually decided to factory reset and start from scratch but the phone keeps rebooting when i try to reset it. I guess that means new Moto G

You do know that when you make your selection when in recovery you use volume up to select, not power

Flash the stock recovery image first..... reboot back in bootloader and try to flash cwm then.
Use the classic cwm, not sone touch ones.

Yes, fastboot flash recovery.
However, i'd recommend full return to KK stock first or you may misplace your sdcard data so back that up to computer then return to stock. From there, flash recovery

I dont know that the official preview repartioning the device or not and what changes made on the configs because i dont try that.
Maybe you can try everythings from the begining, so flash the latest KitKat factory image and after upgrade your recovery. I think its a faster way if you dont have enough knowledge. No need flash radio etc.
Basically with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img should work after you cleared the recovery partition ( fastboot erase recovery )
If you want testing a recovery how it works without flash just type: fastboot boot recovery.img, after rebooting your phone, your device looks like before with no changes, if it working than you need flash and use it.

When the image of an Android with a red triangle appears:
While holding down the Power key, tap the Volume Up key.
That should get you back into the custom recovery that you just flashed

[Q] Moto E Not Booting up

I have Moto E 1st Gen. on Android 4.4.4
Then i installed CM12 and TWRP.
After installing CM12 device started restarting once in a day so i decided to go back to stock.
Yesterday i flashed stock 4.4.2 and device was working fine but there was update of 57mb around so downloaded and the device was restarted to install update and after installing updates, the device is not booting up and while charging the notification light beeps for once and nothing shows up on screen.
Even i tried pressing Power + Vol Down button for 120Sec. but still its not booting up or showing any booting menu.
Please Help.
Thanks in advance.
Which recocery did you have?
TWRP? You can't flash an OTA with a custom recovery, you need the stock.

So during the OTA you had the Stock Recovery again, or?
And you can't enter the fastbootmode?
If you cant enter fastbootmode, I don't really know what else you could do.

No Volume Buttons. Is flashing custom recovery from 12s impossible?

Hey Guys,
I want to flash twrp to my OnePlus One, but CyanogenOS12S won't let me without a hardware boot into recovery mode. My OnePlus' volume buttons do not work, thus i cannot do a hardware boot to recovery mode. When i boot into cyanogenOS and try a software reboot into recovery mode it defaults to Cyanogen's stock recovery. (And yes I have unchecked "update Cyanogen recovery" in developer options)
Is there any way for me to flash and access a custom recovery? I very much hope there is as I would like to have this phone rooted to perform nandroid backups and to attemot to fix the low mic volume issue when im not on speakerphone.
Appreciate any help!
Thanks,
Mrcalebw
easiest way is going to be fastboot flash a new recovery like twrp using fastboot. Just google. As of now you have stock cm recovery installed
Cannot leave the fastboot screen

Hey!
Thanks for the reply and help. I tried to do this, but once I
fastboot falsh recovery recovery.img' which is successful
then 'flashboot boot recovery.img' The fastboot screen lights up brighter and my oneplus disconnects from adb and my computer and i have to do a hard power off by holding the powerbutton.
And I'm back where i started without a custom recovery to boot into.

If your phone is rooted. I guess it would be. Then try this steps to reboot it to recovery
No need of pc.
1. Download TWRP manager from the play store
2. Open the app
3. Open menu in the app by touching the left top corner of the app.
4. Touch on the reboot option and then
5. Touch on the reboot to recovery and touch yes.

Hi,
Thanks for your help. The trouble is that i do not currently have root on my phone.
If its possible to get root, without having to boot into custom recovery that would be fantastic.
I'm beginning to feel like this might be a lost cause.
I'd love any suggestions though!

And how do i flash supersu zip from fastboot? Without having to temporarily boot into a custom recovery?
As far as I was aware you cant flash supersu unless you have a custom recovery installed, which i cannot install (original post issue)
If theres a command I'd be very grateful!

Did you tried any oneplus one tools?
You can cannect your phone as adb right? Then try this tool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/toolbox-oneplus-one-toolbox-t2808987
It may help. It has the option boot to fastboot and boot to recovery.

I have tried a couple of toolboxes. The trick there is that adb commands only send once the phone has booted and is on debugging mode. When full boot happens, the cyanogen stock recovery overwrites the custom recovery.
