try using regular fastboot from the android sdk platform tools
and the latest TWRP build
and use this command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-xt1032.img
or
Code:
fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-xt1032.img
make sure to the recovery img file in the same folder where fastboot and adb files are

What bootloader do you have? 4.3 or 4.4?
I have a MotoG BoostMobile, and TWRP 2.6.3.3 would work only on 4.3, with 4.4 it freezes.
Make sure you go back to 4.3 bootloader and install, CMW 6.0.4.7. TWRP has touch issues..
Good luck!
hey mate no how I go to 4.3?? there Is no os In the phone

Get those 3 files, and rename mfastboot.zip to mfastboot.exe
Then set the phone to Download mode and in a command prompt (same dir as the 2 files) type: mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
Be sure to use only mfastboot and not fastboot. This will flash the Android 4.3 bootloader.
Then use fastboot to install CWM: fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-falcon.img
Reboot into recovery, and you should be able to use adb push or adb sideload to load a ROM of your choice (Preferably the latest CM11).
Good luck!
********** UPDATE ***************
I just tested CWM 6.0.4.7 and it does work with the 4.4 Bootloader!
So I don't think you need to revert to 4.3 bootloader if you are on 4.4 already!

Tablet on Boot loop

Help pls i just installed CWM on my Tablet using this code
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then when i was about to test it i accidentally entered this code
fastboot flash boot recovery.img but i was supposed to enter fastboot boot recovery.img
now i can boot to CWM but everytime i boot it goes straight to CWM not to the system
so i tried flashing the boot-root.img using this code again fastboot flash boot boot-root.img (the boot-root.img was provide by superPichu before)
and now my tablet keeps on rebooting =( i can still enter fastboot and CWM any help pls?
What rom was originally on the tablet? You'll have to procure the boot image from that rom and flash it. That or just reinstall the entire rom ...either from fastboot or from cwm. Your data should be intact.

phone booting into default recovery even after flashing twrp (xiaomi redmi note 4)

whenever i try to go into recovery mode, it takes me to the default one even after i flashed twrp. my bootloader is unlocked and i flashed twrp several times. even when i use the command prompt from fastboot mode it still takes me to the default recovery. any ideas to what's wrong?

This could be a solution or a workaround:
"Hello i just had a personal experience with my Asus zenfone selfie Z00T Stock recovery kept replacing TWRP. (Boot loader already unlocked)
This is how i got around it i downloaded the latest TWRP for my device and placed directly in minimal adb and fastboot app folder then i renamed it to recovery .
then i put my device in fastboot mode using the buttons on the phone and After i ran minimal adb and fastboot app as admin then i typed fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
once done i then i typed fastboot boot recovery.img. and my phone booted to twrp recovery then i selected reboot recovery directly on my phone and to finish reboot system (still in twrp) that's it.
(OEM commands to boot from fastboot to recovery do not work on some devices )
it only worked for me eventually because i downloaded the latest TWRP from the official TWRP website.
The idea is to flash the custom recovery and then booting from the custom recovery.img that you just used to flash (the one still on the pc) using minimal adb and fastboot app.
IT may not work on all devices as the commands may change from one device to another but the idea stays the same. (example for nexus fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot recovery.img)
I hope this will help some people out."
sill not booting into twrp

Okay, I was a bit too early with that. The next time I turned off the phone and tried booting to recovery (Vol up+pwr), I got booted into factory recovery (mi-recovery 3.0) :/

Try this:
when you are in fastboot mode type:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
This command will boot your phone to twrp. Install twrp .zip file (there are 2 options when installing .img or .zip)
after this go to ADB/Sideload - This is in Advanced section
Then swipe to start a sideload. Now on your pc type:
Code:
adb sideload recovery.zip
This worked for me. I hope this works for you too

Any way to install TWRP on mix 3?

I have Mix 3, unlocked bootloader. I made a flash of the latest TWRP 3.5 perseus for Mix 3 with the command:
fastboot flash revovery twrp.img
Later I used the command:
fastboot boot twrp.img
the phone is rebooting and there is only a black screen. When I restart it manually and enter recovery, there is only a stock version (MiRecovery)
I have exactly the same problem. It only works when I execute the command
fastboot flash revovery twrp.img
twice.
However it I try to install any custom ROM via TWRP it ends up in a bootloop...

Thanks for the hint, i was desperate, it wouldn't boot into twrp at all, even with "fastboot boot twrp.img". Now let's flash some custom rom hoping it won't bootloop...

How To Guide Xiaomi 12S Ultra TWRP(unofficial)

12S Ultra unofficial TWRP - link MEGA
Credit - UnofficialTWRP
They released TWRP under 12S Pro, but the code name is Thor which stands for 12S Ultra, and after flashing, I do confirm this is for 12S Ultra.
now they have a proper 12S Ultra section!
Download the image and rename as recovery.img for simplicity.
fastboot boot recovery.img (or full file name)
in TWRP, go to "Advanced" and "flash this twrp."
edit: the recovery image file is too large to be flashed directly via fastboot, so you need to boot first then flash using twrp!
edit2: backup and restore function may not be working properly on this version of twrp! I get boot loops everytime I do a full system backup and full restore after bricking the device, especially on the data partition. Clean installing rom then restoring data only still get boot loops. so use it with caution.
I suggest you to use 3rd party backup apps to do backups on apps and data, and stick to the flashing and other functions only for twrp.

No I'm pretty sure it's:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
However my question was why the method outlined by @Nabicook vs this method. Is it because of the dual partition?
GodKingKnight said:

Because not only it is the method unofficialtwrp suggested, but also the size of the recovery img file is too large to be flashed via fastboot.
I already tried
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery_a recovery.img
and so on, but all failed.
only way to properly install this version of twrp is to boot first then let twrp to install itself to both a/b partitions.
Hi!
I'm following your guide...and after uploading recovery nothing happens

What can I do?

are you sure you did
fastboot boot (your recovery file name).img
it should automatically boot into twrp without touching anything from fastboot mode.
then install twrp through the advanced option in twrp

Still having issues:
After flashing twrp + magisk, reboot sends me into fastboot mode ..
As I get it, previously I've messed up with boot image, flashing recovery into that partition
So question is:
Do I need to reflash stock boot.img (need help with getting it, stock recovery rom is packed into .bin and I'm unable to extract boot image
Or can I simply reflash stock ROM (in recovery or fastboot mode?)
*my phone is unlocked already

yeah you can try flashing stock boot img, and if that doesnt work, you can download fastboot rom and flash stock rom using flash all without wiping data(there is .bat file that says something like install without formatting).
That will fix any kind of brick issues of xiaomi device, and you just redo the twrp part.
