The only TWRP I am able to flash is 2.8.7.0 and then some ROMs say use 2.8.6.0 and this is when the problems start. I can not flash it no matter what. Command line, fastboot,toolkit or flashify. Yes, I tried fastboot erase recovery also. What could be the problem? Fastboot OEM unlock info says its unlocked.
Use katinatez Philz recovery latest version
The materialized twrp works too. I was on the same boat 2.8.6.0 will not flash on my phone

I'm using an oooold Philz from probably last year and never have any problems flashing anything, so I've never changed it.
After you flash the recovery using fastboot command do you run fastboot reboot?

I just received my new nexus 5.
This is what i did:
1. enabled adb in settings.
2. booted in fastboot mode and launched the "fastboot oem unlock" command
3. rebooted end re-enabled adb settings
4. booted in fastboot mode with "reboot bootloader"
5. flashed latest CWM recovery with "flastboot flash recovery ..."
now my recovery is empty with a scary red triangle in the middle. If i reboot the phone all works normally.
I can even flash other recovery images through the fastboot mode but nothing changes.
What can i do now?
Thanks
Red triangle is stock recovery. You didn't flash other recovery.
Not sure what commands you're using for flashing but I wrote a detailed adb and fastboot thread which you can get to via my signature.

what command are you using to flash other recoveries?
i renamed the downloaded file as recovery.img then typed "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
it said transferring and flashing done

Download it again. In fact you should download TWRP not cwm. Also please read the thread I asked you to read.

So, i've tried with CWM, TWRP, with different cables, with different computers, it just seems that my recovery is not writable.
Have i received a faulty phone?
Now i'll try to flash stock recovery than again TWRP.
If it doesn't work i'll flash the whole factory image...
i dont have any other idea
Flashing stock recovery didn't work.
Flashing everything stock worked fine. I think something in the bootloader messed up
Backup everything then flash userdata.img with fastboot while in bootloader.

You didn't. You said "flashing everything stock worked fine" with no mention of "TWRP". ;]

Hey there guys. I have recently flashed CWM-touch-6.0.4.7-falcon.img im able to go into recovery when i flash it, on reboot i selected yes for the fix install stock recovery, when back to recovery and it has an android with an exclamation mark coming out of it with it saying 'no command' at the bottom. How do i fix this? Moto G 3G 1st gen
You can try:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
And then:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
After you flash the custom recovery boot into it right away and see if that works.

I did that and it was all success but same thing happened
Also i tried flashing stock recovery but still no luck
An Android with an exclamation with 'no command' means you are on the stock recovery. Did you try the latest TWRP?

Oh right ok. No i haven't used TWRP, i don't really like it. I tried CWM touch but i haven't tried normal CWM yet
You can also try philz recovery. Not sure why it won't stick after you flash but be sure go into recovery right after you finish flashing otherwise it will overwrite back to stock I believe.

I always go straight into recovery after i flash it but when i reboot it goes back to stock recovery :/
What message do you get after flashing the recovery? Previously I got 'partition size mismatch' indicating I flashed a recovery different from stock. Philz & TWRP worked fine for me.

I get a mismatch partition size (recovery) when i flash. I boot straight away to recovery, then say yes to disable flash stock recovery, reboot into recovery and stock recovery. I flashed the non touch CWM this time

Then sorry I'm not sure about the reason. May be you downloaded a wrong recovery or that recovery doesn't work with your bootloader. Just search the thread you downloaded this from to find any solution. Or if you don't like the TWRP try Philz touch as it is CWM based.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639583 .
Currently the only supported recovery for moto g is TWRP by h2o64.

I have flashed CWM-touch and normal CWM before until flashify came along and made my recovery screwed up
I suggest you try using mfastboot included here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567719065
NOTE: mfastboot erase recovery is not required. Simply use: mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I flashed philz recovery. Rebooted again and went into recovery and it worked, the recovery was still there
But one more thing on reboot of recovery it didn't ask if i wanted to fix root. Am i rooted already or not? :/
Are you on stock or a custom rom? Certain custom roms may have built in root access for everything else you will have to flash SuperSU.
Glad to see you got the recovery issue sorted. I'm with you I don't particularly like TWRP so I pretty much use Philz exclusively.
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>

So i tried using the TWRP app and flashed my recovery, but when i went to recovery it was still stock recovery. And then because i didnt know what i was doing i flashed TWRP using the app to my boot and now when i boot it just shows the mi logo.

You choose the wrong TWRP for flash to mi4c. Probably TWRP version for nougat rom flashed on lollipop rom.
Here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71120584&postcount=9 follow the steps & you'll be fine. Next time doesn't do anything stupid & read all the introductions before mess with your phone.

It can't be same if you flash xiaomi official rom using MiFlash. Looks like you are not flashed it properly. do it corrently .
Hi all, I have through fastboot flashed a TWRP recovery to my Xperia Z5. But, It doesn't work. When I try to boot into recovery I just get a black screen with a blue LED at the top. I have tried also using adb to reboot into recovery but still no luck. It just boots into the OS. Any idea? Cheers

Bootloader Unlocked?
TWRP flashed to recovery partition?
Did you try patched kernel?
Built in patched kernel has TWRP, no need to flash TWRP separately.
