Restore Android Stock's Recovery Mode

Hello! I've tried to root my phone (Moto G XT1541 Europe 1GB) but failed. I got an error when trying to flash the custom recovery. Unfortunately, it has overwritten the stock recovery and it didn't install. So, now I have a phone without recovery and I can't do a factory reset because of that (I think).
So, this is my question: how can I re install the default Android 6.0 recovery mode for my phone?
Also, my phone boots automatically on bootloader mode and I can't re-lock the bootloader because I can't flash anymore either; I got an error because the pre flash validation failed when trying to flash with adb fastboot, but this is minimal issues that doesn't really bother me, but they could be helpful and if someone knows how to get rid of them, I want to know!
I hope someone will help me!

The bootloader cannot be relocked in the Moto G 2015, the best you can do is hide the warning screen. Find the stock image and fastboot flash the recovery from there, or better yet, flash the entire image so you are in a known working state
If you are in Pre-Flash validation, you do not have the correct image for your device... I suggest you post in the "How to flash factory images" thread about returning to stock, if it is possible. You MUST factory default before flashing factory images, if you can't, try 'fastboot erase userdata' and try again.

Flash latest twrp via fastboot and reboot into recovery ,
don't reboot into system,
reboot into recovery manually, then you can enter twrp recovery and can flash supersu 2.62.3.
when you just reboot after flash twrp and reboot system erase custom recovery and save stock recovery, so don't enter fastboot reboot, enter fastboot reboot recovery after flash recovery via pc.
Rename twrp recovery as only twrp in fastboot folder in your pc , not as twrp.img,
But cmd as fastboot flash recovery twrp.img , then no errors ( are you unlocked bootloader ?)

Hey! Thank you! I've been able to flash the TWRP recovery and now I can do a factory reset (and also send sms, which I couldn't do anymore for some reason).
I still have the issue where the bootloader screen appears everytime I turn my phone on, and I still can't re lock my device because I can't flash anything either. I've recovered all of my data, so I think I'm going to stick with that for a moment but maybe I'll try what you said some day.
Again, really thank you for helping me!

Now I understand why my flashing TWRP did not take. I simply rebooted to system and still have stock recovery installed. I was successful booting twrp via fastboot and successfully flashed supersu 2.62.3. Is this step in listed in any faq? I must have missed it.
So after flashing TWRP, do you then power down device prior to manually booting to recovery?

Don't power down, already you are in fastboot mode, you can just enter recovery from that. I forget the reference, but i will search and post.

I get this from twrp official page
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.
In our phone press simultaneously volume down + power button to enter recovery.

Z3 Dual [D6633] - Don't boot in to recovery

Hello guys, I don't have no more idea to fix it.
Today I unlocked my bootloader, all was Stock and no Root. I want try This Lineage OS 15 and is mandatory flash the TWRP to install the Rom.
OK, I unlocked my bootloader and downloaded TWRP Dual Version, extracted the img file from zip and flashed in fastboot mode like the tutorial says: fastboot flash FOTAKernel recovery.img
the flash was donne fine but I can't enter in recovery mode, I tryed in adb adb reboot recovery but isn't work too, anyone have an idea?
Attached some images to explain...
Sorry for my bad english.

Forget, xkeita give me a tip and I can now enter in recovery, I suppose that the Stock kernel don't boot it, just flashed the Kernel rom that I want to use and in sequence, flahsed the TWRP and it worked.
Sumary:
1. I extracted the Boot.img from ROM ZIP and flashed it with: fastboot flash boot boot.img
2. I Extracted the TWRP IMG and flashed it with: fastboot flash FOTAKernel recovery.img
reboot the phone, and turn on pressing vol key down ultil boot in TWRP.
Maybe this is usual to someone.
Thanks a lot @xkeita and @serajr for all the help and suport, I Learned a lot, thanks.
Moderators, can Lock this tread please....

Can't install TWRP in Android 9

I was running stock OOS with Android 8.1 with the normal TWRP and Magisk working. When the OOS 9 got out, I installed the full OTA through TWRP (dirty flash) and everything went perfectly, with no problems whatsoever, but I lost TWRP and Magisk, of course.
Now in Android 9 I can't seem to reinstall TWRP (I'm trying with the latest bluespark): I can boot TWRP from fastboot and install Magisk, everything is fine, Magisk works great. However, when I try to install the TWRP zip (through the fastboot loaded TWRP), the phone freezes at the bootloader warning and doesn't boot (and I have to reinstall the full OTA zip to get the phone working again). Or, some other times, it reboots always to the recovery and never to the OS. Any ideas on how to solve this? Thanks in advance.

What version of bluespark are you using ?? v2

9.85v2

first fastboot boot twrp.img, the install twrp.zip , reboot recovery and then magisk..

I also tried to fastboot boot blu_spark twrp V2 IMG.... This ended in a black screen. I used the latest official twrp without a problem on pie.

Thanks! Did it in that exact order and now everything works. I was forgetting to reboot the recovery before installing Magisk.

don't flash magisk on the temporary TWRP

Cuz of kernel panic. When you boot into twrp after fastboot command - unplag your cable from pc when the command is done, then disable mtp, connect to pc and re-enable mtp.
Dont forget to click thanks
And yeah, use blu spark's TWRP, not official one

Came here from google.

This procedure didn't work for me, for some reason "fastboot boot twrp.img" was leading to black screen.
What worked for me was
1) Boot to fastboot
2) fastboot flash twrpXXX.img
3) Without rebooting, select recovery from fastboot's bootloader menu
4) If you are able to boot in twrp this time, then flash blu spark twrp.
5) Reboot
6) Try to reboot in recovery as usual
If all worked well, you should see twrp recovery.
Cheers.

i managed to flash twrp via fastboot, with command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and then i applied:
fastboot boot recovery
and it booted into twrp (yay), but when i try to reboot it into system (or poweroff, and on), it boots into twrp. succesfully managed to replace stock recovery, but now i cant go into system. i got backup of system, but i don't know how to boot into system now.
phone is Allview Viva H801
I don't know how i can get into fastboot now via twrp. Is there way to communicate with twrp via PC. because twrp terminal , closes keyboard when i press key 'b', which makes it impossible to type any command (to get into fastboot )
can i fix this via twrp as i cant go into bootloader
