TWRP not working - AT&T LG G3

Problem:TWRP does not work. I can flash TWRP but when I boot into recovery I get stuck at the TWRP loading screen. I have used LG flash tool to go back to stock and try flash again multiple times but the same thing happens. I used fastboot to install CM13 and I have the CM recovery installed and working, but that can't flash custom kernals as that's what I want to do.

can you tell me how you restored the stock recovery
I flashed twrp recovery but when I boot to recovery I get Boot certification verify, secure booting error!, cause boot verification failed. please help I want a recovery I do not care if it is stock or twrp. I think i flashed twrp while the bootloader was locked. So how to unlock it and fix this problem.
I forgot to mention after the error the notification led goes orange , blue repeatedly. The phone boots fine.

I didn't restore back to stock. But if TWRP does not work u can try cyanogen mods custom recovery. for some reason that worked fine for me, or u could look for a bumped recovery as there are many of them around for the D850.

[Q] Phone won't boot to system or recovery

So I tried to flash Magnolia X 1.0 coming from MIUI. After I wiped from MIUI and tried to install Magnolia I got an error. No big deal right? So I figured I would reboot recovery ( clockwork mod ) and try again, if it didn't work I could restore MIUI. When I hit reboot recovery I got stuck in a bootloop, from white htc screen to off. It just looks like it is trying to get to recovery but it is not loading it for some reason. So I decided to boot it into hboot and reflash the recovery, or possibly flash twrp. Now my problem is that the computer is not recognizing the phone, so none of my fastboot or adb commands do anything I just get <waiting for device>. Any ideas?
So right after I made the post I was able to get the drivers to reinstall and was able to re flash the recovery. Tried both CWM and TWRP and neither will boot. With TWRP I can get to the recovery splash screen but then it just goes black. Downloading the RUU now and I am going to try to flash that through the bootloader. Other than that I have no othe ideas...anyone else have any?
Got it...had to relock bootloader and run ruu then extract the stock recovery and flash it. Rebooted into recovery let it sit, then it rebooted back to the bootloader. Re-unlocked bootloader then flashed TWRP and it worked fine. Back up and running again.

Stuck in Fastboot

Okay so I tried to flash cyanogenmod 11 for the first time on this moto G (US). It bootlooped and I tired to reflash it again and it did the same. There was no way of returning to stock because I had not made a backup. So I tried to flash stock in the bootloader and that didn't work. I went into the recovery and it said 'cant mount /sdcard. So go back into the bootloader and format the sdcard and that doesn't work (which I returned to the recovery to see it not working). I go back and flash twrp thinking that recovery would have something to help me flash a new rom and now I don't even have a working recovery. It takes me straight back to the bootloader and every time I flash a recovery it says Mismatched partition size (recovery) and I am unable to boot into it.
I have no clue on what to do at this point and I need help.
also it says invalid "boot image header!" in red letters

Alright thankyou!
I got everything to work again but I still can't flash roms. They just bootloop :S
It could be too big recovery install with fastboot causes problem, every recovery cwm/twrp i tried to install with fastboot fails.

Twrp_MotoG_signed_010814_163615.zip
Download vocoderisms TWRP build, extract "recovery.img" from it.
After you have kitkat installed and working:
Option 1, use TWRP without install:
Boot to bootloader (adb reboot bootloader), boot twrp (fastboot boot recovery.img) and install rom from there.
Option 2, install TWRP (have not tested):
Upload twrp zip to phone (adb push Twrp_MotoG_signed_010814_163615.zip /sdcard/), boot to bootloader (adb reboot bootloader), boot twrp (fastboot boot recovery.img), install Twrp_MotoG_signed_010814_163615.zip.

You do know flashing stock again removes root, so it has to be rerooted again ?

Help, MMB29Q update wipes TWRP

Hi all,
Recently I updated my Nexus 5 from Lollipop to Marshmallow 6.0.1 (MMB29Q) - latest build.
everything stock works fine but, once I flash a customer recovery, in my case TWRP it stops working...I get either a startup loop or TWRP gets erased by stock recovery.
I tried various steps ...
flashed TWRP 2.8.7.1 - rebooted to boot loader was able to get into TWRP but, once I reboot system, everything works but TWRP is gone/erased and replaced by stock recovery?
Flash TWRP 2.8.7.1, then flash latest TWRP 3.0, reboot to boot loader and can get into TWRP but once i reboot into system, I am stuck on the initial boot loop.
I have to start from scratch of flashing system and boot etc to get past the loop and it still replaces TWRP with stock recovery.
I can always get into Fastboot but when I go to recovery it seems its being replaced by stock recovery.
anyone experiencing this issue? thanks for your help.
I guess I am doing something stupid but, not sure what...and thanks for your help
If you give more detail on the steps you are taking it will be easier for someone to help. Also, have you tried doing a factory reset when it bootloops?
thanks for the response..here are the details..
I had Lollipop with TWRP 2.8.7.1
yesterday, I downloaded latest build from android site...extracted all files....booted into bootloader and flashed all files..
rebooted - Marshmallow works perfectly...offcourse it not rooted yet or its locedback due to this flash
Scenario:1
So downloaded TWRP 2.8.7.1 and flashed it as recovery, no errors nothing...i rebooted to bootloader and went to recovery to confirm TWRP is there
I rebooted the system - TWRP gives option to root which I said yes so its rooted. I reboot system, this goes into bootloop - I wait for say 5-10 min in this loop mode and I see that adb can recognize the device but nothing else....its stuck in loop
when I force shut down by holding power button for few sec - and go back bootloader/recovery - TWRP is still there
***note*** I did factory wipe in TWRP but that did not fix above condition.
Scenario2:
exact same steps but after I flashed twrp2.8.7.1, I rebooted bootloader and flashed twrp 3.0 as well confirmed twrp 3.0 is flashed and rebooted system - phone start normally no issues - when I restart to bootloader - no TWRP exists, its replaced by stock recovery
Scenario 2, I tried couple of other ways and still the same thing happens - twrp 3.0 get erased.
not sure what I am doing wrong but TWRP doesn't stick
since this is my active device - i flash system.img and boot.img to get the phone to working condition
thanks for your help

Need help with recovery please...

I bought this phone so I can get access to a lot of different roms... I'm trying to install twrp as my recovery or cmw but when I flash it after unlocking the boot loader with cmw it doesn't stay installed and revert back to the original request and the twrp I get an error message in twrp about original recovery and then the phone goes into a boot loop. It has the latest OS version running with April Security fixes... please help
Flash twrp as it is a more versatile and widely supported recovery.
Flash twrp in fastboot mode. After flashing, use the power and volume buttons to boot directly to twrp, do not reboot the phone until after you have entered recovery.

did exactly what you said and im getting thr error / system to prevent the stock rom from replacing twrp...
whats happening
I recommend flashing the latest stock rom to make sure the phone boots properly.Then, I would flash twrp again.

phone wont enter recovery stuck on OPO logo

:crying:
phone wont enter recovery mode I dont know what to do i flashed N based rom it went into bootloop. I was on 3.0 TWRP. Flashed M based ROM, it worked. I decided to give N ROM another chance it didnt flash gave me some error
I tried to enter Recovery again now I just cant. it get stuck on OPO Logo. I can reboot normally and use the M ROM but I cant boot into recovery to flash anything.
Here's a list of stuff I tried and didnt work
1. Flashing Old versions of TWRP through fastboot and flashify and TWRP Manager
Ive tried these versions
twrp-2.7.0.0-bacon
twrp-2.8.0.0-bacon
twrp-2.8.5.0-bacon
twrp-2.8.6.0-bacon
twrp-3.1.0-0-bacon
I even checked to find that the bootloader is unlocked. I was really relieved cos i didnt wanna lose all my data.
2. I've tried Fastboot boot recovery command which gives "Failed (remote: DTB not found)". i googled and flashing older recovery was the only answer I found. which I already did. Any other ideas?
EDIT: I would like to add and clear the fact that the recovery flashes without errors but it just wont boot.
