[Q] Problem with recovery - MOTO G LTE - 4.4.4 - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've just bought Moto G LTE and tried to get root. I've already unlocked bootloader, downloaded CWM 6.0.5.0 peregrine and tried to boot it with fastboot boot CWM-6.0.5.0-peregrine.img. Then it entered CWM but after few seconds screen went black and it didn't respond to anything and I needed to hold power button to reboot. The same thing is with last TWRP 2.7.1.0 - peregrine. I don't want to flash recovery until I can boot it in because I'm afraid something could go wrong. Within these few seconds in CWM before the screen got dark I flashed SuperSU so I have root. But I'd like to have working recovery.
Please, is there any guide to solve it?

When you flashing the recovery through fastboot its shows any warning message?
When flashing is done just make sure your recovery is working, by entering into the recovery...

I recently acquired a moto g here in india via flipkart that came preinstalled with android 4.4.4 and yes i have the same problem of not getting any recovery to work since all of them boot to a weird black screen with random white lines appearing haphazardly. In fact the closest i have come to getting a proper recovery is when i installed the twrp 2.7.1.1 although it too off started of as black screen with weird lines i left it that way till the screen turned off and once it did, i pressed the power button and voila the recovery had successfully loaded.
However touch and HW buttons weren't working but i definitely reached the padlocked screen of twrp. So i tried another thing i had read on the forums here @ xda that sometimes letting the screen go off in recovery once makes it work but even that didnt work. Now the thing is does the recovery work ? that is in its most essential function taking backups and installing zips yes it does so. But since both the above functions require the actual use of recovery itself which isnt possible so i used twrp app for android and installed it and used that to make backups and install zips; both of which worked. Now it goes without saying root access is must for using of this app and i got rooted using the modaco/paul o'brian superboot method and hence was able to use twrp app. Hope this provides everybody a better clarity on our situation and make the devs for recovery solve our problem. Good Luck.
P.S Downgrading to 4.4.2 wont help as it will give the black screen witnessed on trying to boot into recovery(I already tried that)

So. It must becoz of the incompatibility of the recoveries with the new boot loader/firmware or what ever ?
The bootloader version of all those with 4.4.4 is 41.13. So it must be the issue with recovery.
The root can also be acquired by flashing cwm recovery and installing supersu from playstore.

[Q] Can't sideload Android Lollipop

Hi all
So I have custom recovery twrp and I learned that having custom recovery means I have to sideload android L
So I installed the proper zip file and tried flashing it but it "fails executing updater binary in zip"
I have twrp 2.6 , I know there's 2.8 now so should I install latest recovery ? and how do I do so without erasing all data ? and lastly I can't find the 15 seconds driver installation for the nexus 5 in order to install a new custom recovery.
Plz help.
Edit : P.S : I'm not rooted
You can't apply the L OTA with custom recovery
15 second installer is ADB and fastboot, not drivers. Though youll find both in the adb and fastboot thread which is in general > sticky roll up
In fact all your answers are found in general > sticky roll up
I installed latest version of twrp and still failed to sideload android L zip file with same error message,now what ?

You need to have the stock recovery. Sideload it in that. It won't work in twrp

If I get stock recovery I won't need to side load at all then . Why won't it work on twrp ?

You're doing a really good job of reading.
Oh sorry,didn't get that 1st line. Ok, so if I'm going to get stock recovery anyway,shouldn't I just download the OTA update and it will get me back to stock recovery on it's own ?

You can flash the 5.0 factory image. But, you need to flash each image manually and don't flash userdata.img or use fastboot -w. Those will wipe your data.

How is this done?
Ok i seem to have solved my problem.
If you flashed SuperSU after flashing this ROM but still don't seem to have root or recovery - THIS IS WHAT WORKED FOR ME:
Open SuperSU app > Settings
Disable SuperSU > Re-Enable SuperSU
You should now have Root
Now after this i used AutoRec to install a working recovery, then I was able to enter recovery BUT it shows Security Error if i try to reboot after that. (so you can get into recovery once this way if you really need to.)
i had to dirty flash the rom again to be able to boot except it breaks the recovery again. At least i have root now, still no recovery
I also keep getting "Unfortunately, LGSmartCover has stopped".

The usual options in recovery screen are displayed, why isn't the OS updating?
FYI - My OPO is rooted and also has TWRP recovery installed. I also tried disabling the Update Cyanogen Recovery option but the same option.

You can't flash the OTA with TWRP recovery. You can either flash the stock recovery and then install the OTA, or you can download the full ROM zip and flash that with TWRP.
