Problem with TWRP - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys.
I installed via flashfi the TWRP on my nexus with android 5, original rom. My bootloader is unlocked.
However, when trying to enter the recovery mode, appears the initial screen of TWRP and simply back into the system. What might be happening? Its fix it? And is to return to the default recovery?
Regards,

Can you get into bootloader? How did you flash TWRP? Though fastboot or ROM Manager?

If you can get into bootloader maybe you can fastboot flash the recovery again then try to access it

Ahh yeah goo manager what was I meant. So you've manually flashed a recovery now, does it boot into the recovery ok?

I don't understand what you mean. Why are you trying to use adb?
Sent from my Evita
Woot! That worked! I'm still learning all about adb. I don't know ALL COMMANDS and why it would not recognize my device after each command that worked. Many thanks guys..many thanks

Because I could not access anything manually

Fastboot was working because you were in bootloader. Adb requires you to be booted into a ROM with usb debugging turned on.

Cant Flash Anything in Twrp

i cant flash anything in twrp everything i try to flash says failed. other than that twrp works fine. any ideas why?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Usually might have to reboot recovery in TWRP before flashing. Normally with Catalyst that is what it requires me to do and all works fine.

Is the TWRP ask you for password each time you boot into it?

In twrp from the home screen select reboot and then select recovery. This should reboot into recovery. Then try flash. What file are trying to flash?

First, restore back to stock, using any toolkit in development section
Then use that toolkit to install the recovery + superSU
Then download & install rom manager
Are you sure you do it right?
go to fastboot mode, then type
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
Besides, the latest twrp.img is 12.9 MB.

Were you careless with your fastboot commands? Did you flash a kernel/ something else to your recovery partition while you were flashing multiple files at once? I ask becasue I was updating my kernel this morning and noobed up. I flashed my recovery with my kernel.:victory:

Edit
Watching better I saw that my BL is unlocked still.. So I guess that I just have to reflash cwm @adb right ?

if you go to the android laying on its back, that's the stock recovery. all you have to do is flash a custom recovery, i recommend the twrp recovery, not cwm.
I'll second the recommendation for installing TWRP instead of CWM. It's a much nicer interface overall.
Are you rooted? If so you could install BootLoader from Play, press unlock, and then flash a custom recovery to restore your backup.
Use an app called "Flashify" to flash either recoveries mentioned. Super easy

Twrp disappears 5.0

I have unlocked boot loader, but when I flash twrp through command prompt it works that one time I boot into recovery from boot loader but afterwards it reverts back to stock recovery. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks! So what you suggest is to flash 2.8.1.0 flash the new beta of superuser, then flash the new version through flashify?

Thats what did it for me
If you delete /system/etc/recovery-from-boot.bak (or similar) the recovery should stick also when flashing via fastboot and using TWRP 2.8.1.0
