Unable to boot into recovery (cold boot) Motorola Moto G 4G

Hi all,
I have successfully rooted and installed CM12 on my Motorola Moto G 4G. I was unable to get into recovery so I download ROM manager to boot into recovery and thats how I installed CM12.
CM12 is stuck in a boot loop so I want to install CM11 or go back to Stock but I cannot get into recovery now. If I boot up with power and vol down I am taken to a fastboot screen which has an option to goto recovery (second option down) but this simply boots back into the device.
I was using CMW but I installed TWRP and now this simply takes me to a blank screen (or it could be powered off).
Can anybody advise how I can boot into recovery? (I am still able to use fastboot commands).
Thanks!

Just find a working recovery image and flash it (TWRP 2.7.1 works for me), also make sure you are using the right controls in the fastboot menu, they're tricky

Use fastboot to reflash recovery. After a successful flash, use the button combo on the fastboot screen to boot into recovery.

[Q] device not booting into fastboot mode and recovery deleted accidently.

deleted my recovery​I have a croma crxt 1125 tablet, I was trying to flash a new recovery and accidently I uninstalled the stock one and now I have no recovery probably. I tried many apps but nothing happens. When trying to boot into recovery there is just the croma logo and the device shuts and reboots normally.
I tried aio flasher. It just sticks at flashing symbol. I did not boot into fast boot mode. The device is not booting in fast boot mode. When trying a dB commands
It just reboots into normal mode. I don't know what is happening.
Even in cmd it recognizes the device in adb but shows waiting for device in fast boot commands. How shall I boot my device into fast boot mode and how to flash a custom recovery. Please help anybody.

Download recovery image for your device and install Flashify app from playstore. You can install the recovery file from the flashify app.

Tried it! It says file flashed and asks me to reboot into recovery but nothing happens and same results. Maybe flashify requires recovery to flash images.

Please help! Want to upgrade to lollipop but with no recovery can't do it. Does anybody have idea what the problem is?

use android termimal to do so
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
place the recovery.img to root of your sdcard. do not place it inside any folder.

Phone stuck on boot screen and wont boot into custom recovery.

So here is the thing, i flashed LineageOS and rooted my device. When i tried to uninstall a substratum theme and i rebooted, the phone is stuck in the boot screen. I can get into bootloader mode. When i try to get into Custom Recovery mode, the Google logo comes up, and again it is stuck in the boot screen. I just need to get into recovery mode somehow ,so i can restore using the backup i have. Help Me.

Which recovery were you using? If it's not booting at all, I'd flash TWRP to the recovery partition with whatever tool you use.
If using SDK tools, 'fastboot flash recovery [custom recovery image file]' will do it from the command line.

OK i got inside twrp using adb and then restored my device. Its working fine. The problem now is i cant boot into recovery mode via bootloader mode. If i click the recovery mode it boots into OS.
So now im little scared to flash again to Lineage OS using bootloader mode. So what should i do to solve this problem and get into recovery mode without using ADB.

System is not booting after flashing TWRP

I have flashed TWRP 3.3.1 successfully . after that I rebooted into TWRP and it does not enter its recovery UI. After that, I tried to reboot the phone but it goes to recover screen again without entering recovery UI. I can't open my phone now. please help.
At the beginning, after flashing the twrp it was showing only TWRP screen not the options. then i rebooted the system and the phone rebooted without any issue (till now, phone was ok). then I again flashed the twrp but it remained the same. after that i tried different command from the Powershell. (fastboot boot twrp.img) and it showed downloading. after waiting for 5 min, I just closed the PowerShell and tried to reboot. from that time I cannot boot my phone anymore. then i again flashed the recovery but could not boot the phone. when i triy to boot the phone it only shows the recovery screen. I've attached the commands that I used to flash TWRP. Please help me to solve the problem.

Have you tried booting the recovery by pressing Power + Vol up?

Now since you are bootlooping we would need to install MIUI back again, to do this download the MiFlash Tool and the fastboot ROM for the latest MIUI, now copy it's file path and paste in MiFlash Tool, also make sure it detects your phone, now in the bottom right corner there would be an option like flash_everything_except_internal (similar to this) so that the internal storage isn't erased, now flash the ROM and let the phone boot up atleast once.
Once that's done use this TWRP (https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...unofficial-twrp-3-3-1-proper-t3933531/page4), it has a fix for the encryption bug and won't lead to a bootloop (the password/code/pattern asked in it is the same as the phone's), now you have TWRP installed and running

Thanks for your support. I followed the instruction and bootup the phone. But I'm afraid of flashing TWRP ?

It worked. I installed TWRP without any issue . Thanks again ?

TWRP 3.3.1 has bug, reinstall TWRP 3.2.3 and boot to recovery and then reboot to system.

I have now flashed TWRP. But my phone isn't booting into TWRP recovery and the power button and volume UP button is booting the phone into MIUI recovery. Also when booting into the system, it's asking for a password when I had no passwords on the device. Will MiFlash Tool help in this case??

The password is on the phone lock screen? In that case your device must have got encrypted, you might have to format all partitions and then flash with Mi Flash.Do have a try with MiFlash first, might help if it's not encrypted. Also make sure you used the right commands to flash the recovery, and use OrangeFox or Peter's.

When you flash TWRP, after it flashes, you then have to boot into recovery before you boot to any of your device's other modes, if you allow the device to boot into any other mode BEFORE booting to recovery, it will revert back to stock recovery. The very next thing you have to do after flashing TWRP is to boot immediately into recovery before you do anything else, then it will keep TWRP recovery.
Flash the TWRP recovery via fastboot, then type the command:
adb reboot recovery
Or
Flash TWRP via fastboot then disconnect the device and power the device off, then press and hold the correct button combination to boot into recovery.
