I want to install TWRP on my Moto G but i am not 100% sure if or how it could brick my phone. I want to install this > http://teamw.in/devices/motorolamotog2013.html <. Can you tell me if it could cause a hard brick or could i repair it with in fastboot if something goes wrong?
I am using the XT1032 with Android 5.1, Bootloader unlocked and phone's rooted.
It's best to use the version of TWRP in Development section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-2-0-touch-recovery-t2980621
You cannot brick your phone; even if you flashed a recovery.img for a totally different phone. The fastboot command is:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Hey everyone, I rooted my Xoom MZ601 a while back using this method. I installed the Team EOS XOOM ROM and is updated to the latest nightly build. I want to return to stock following these instructions from thr MOTO Dev Site. The only thing is I can't even get into the Bootloader. I've tried doing it manually on the Xoom itself and also through ADB. It restarts and shows the "Dual Core" screen, then I get the "Starting Fastboot protocol support." message and that's as far as it goes. I have to do a hard-restart to get it back operational. Any ideas how I can fix this please?
Thanks
ADB is the wrong method for flashing back your image files.
You have to use fastboot. LOL it even says on it the website http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/
Instructions to Flash & Re-Lock Your Motorola XOOM:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
Please post all questions in the Q & A section. Thanks! Thread moved.

Ok thanks, I issued the commands within the folder that I extracted the files into, now it just says <waiting for device >. The Xoom isn't doing anything. It is set to USB Debugging mode and is connected directly to the motherboard USB's. Any ideas? Thanks

Sorry and thanks
No worries, I've done it thanks
You have to be in the bootloader. Since you're using TeamEOS rom hold down the power button, click on restart and goto bootloader. Then try them again.

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!
Yesterday I unlocked my bootloader on Moto G XT1033.After that I tried to flash CWM using mfastboot but after booting to recovery I get black screen with white/multi-colored lines and its gets stuck there.
However,I can still boot to my stock rom (Android 4.4.4) successfully.
I also tried flashing TWRP and Philz but i get the same problem everytime.Please help..

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

Thanks. The above command worked perfectly.
3 days ago I got a lollipop ota update to my fe170cg. Everything is cool except rooting. I want to root this device like a used to do at kitkat.
But I couldn't find any solution to root this device. I also tried VampireFo's tethered CWM recovery but no luck with that it is not even flashing CWM because of the tigth locked asus lollipop bootloader. I also tried to downgrade to kitkat because of the lollipop recovery But I couldn't downgrade. Now I have no more chance to root this device. And no chance to downgrade to kitkat as well. So I decided to ask professionals like you. I really need help!!. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks from now for any response.

Hey there!
Not sure this will help you or not..for me it just doing good. Try use fastboot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
Then you need you flash the a stock firmware. UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.33-user
Download the appropriate firmware from Asus website. There are three .img files in the firmware zip file (fastboot.img, boot.img, splashscreen.img).
Copy all these three files to the extracted folder. Now type the following command in the command window one by one:
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash splashscreen splashscreen.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then you get your droidboot back.
user Temp CWM IntelAndroid-FBRL-05-16-2015-PTR to flash UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.33-user
so that you can downgrade to kitkat

:good::good::good: Thank you so much dude..:highfive: :victory: Now it is working ..
I already have TWRP recovery installed on my Oneplus One. How do I update it? Do I just type fastboot flash recovery "xxxxx.img" and then fastboot erase cache? I believe I do not have to unlock my bootloader again since it is already unlocked, am I correct? I just want to update TWRP, not my ROM or anything else. Thanks in advance.

you do not have to unlock your bootloader again. you can use the fastboot method.
but there is also flashable zip you can flash in recovery to update TWRP (This method is easier in my opinion). you can get it from here
-->https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=19646
that link is from Temasek CM12.1 thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-cm11-temasek-build-t2870743
you can visit the thread for more info. be sure to take nandroid backup before flashing.

This method works without a PC.
1) Download the recovery image from TWRP website
2) Install Flashify from Play Store
3) Flash the recovery image through Flashify
And that's it and root access is definitely required.

All you need to do is flash the updated version the same way that you flashed when you first installed it, with fastboot. No you don't need to unlock the bootloader again unless you've previously locked it yourself.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img>
