I'm having difficulty with recovery and super su. I have tried several twrp recovery versions on this site but after flashing it though fast boot recovery does not update. Only recovery works is ending name with test1 but when I'm in twrp recovery and flash super su phone goes in bootloop and stays on bootloader unlocked and warranty void message. Even I managed to put few ROMs on SD card but when i flash them recovery does not flash and finish process in two seconds. I have also used few versions of super su and have soft bricked my phone and now have flashed stock firmware few times via fast boot. Can you help me please to point which recovery version and super su will work? I have tried few threads stating worked but it did not work for me .Please help

1GB or 2GB doesn't matter, the process is the same, so there is something else going on...
Can you just boot the TWRP image? "fastboot boot recovery.img" (replace recovery.img with the latest TWRP image, r5 I think)
If that doesn't work, what is the status of your bootloader from the bootloader screen?
Thanks, I flashed the latest one r5 and it shows in fast boot it is written however when I'm going to recovery it does not bring recovery and only poor android photo comes up with nothing found like happens in stock recovery . Only r1 test recovery successfully load but it does not flash anything

But can you BOOT it? (not talking about flashing anything)
After you flash, ate you starting recovery immediately or rebooting first, because you can't reboot before starting it or it will be overwritten by stock.
I have restarted in boatloader and gone into twrp recovery r1 test version but after flashing super su it goes to boot loop

Also how can I start recovery after flashing it without restarting boatloader?

Are you using a compatible supersu zip for your phone? From where did you downloaded it?

Did you use the systemless method, where in the TWRP terminal you enter the echo command?

Latest recovery should be used (I think it was 3.0.2 r5). And you'll have to do the systemless install, unless you want bootloop. Also make a note of which recovery you flash/boot- Osprey is for Moto G 2015 and Merlin is for Moto G 2015 Turbo Edition.

Hey!
i got a problem .. it's been 4 hours and could not solve it!!
i tried to root my device today
unlocked boot-loader " Done "
but could not root " install Supersu "
when i flash a CWM recovery .. could not move anything into my phone!
i pressed at " Usb mount storage " nothing happened
flashed too many versions
tried to flash TWCP .. it does not work at all!! when i wrote the command " Flash ...... " it makes the device reboot
then black screen!!!
any help ? i need it so hard
Thank u
Good news .. Finally i could flash the TWRP!
but still could not flash rom!
i could not also mount USB storage
can any one explain this step : " Select supers " how could i select something if it is not into my phone and i can't mount!
FLASH "SUPERSU.MOTOG.ZIP"
1) Wait for screen to time out
2) Awaken device with the power button
3) Tap "Install"
4) Select "supersu.motog.zip"
5) Swipe to install
Which TWRP version did you use? I found that only version TWRP2631 works for me. As to the SuperSU thing. I was in TWRP and up popped a message that SuperSU wasn't install and did I want to install it? I replied "yes" and it did it for me.

Restore phone to stock firmware with guide here on xda so it boots properly. Then place supersu.zip on phone. Last flash cwm.
From cwm flash supersu.zip and voila stock firmware with root. This is exactly how I did it on my phone.

So, I have been talking with a friend for a while and finally decided to root my device. With help from him, we were able to get as far as flashing a recovery image. Sadly, everytime that I tried to boot into recovery, it just sat on the logo, and after a while, booted normally.
The device currently has root access (towelroot) and I can do everything root related, but I don't feel right now having a custom ROM.
Things we have tried:
TWRP Manager (For TWRP)
Flashify (TWRP, CWM)
Rom Installer (CWM)
CynogenMod - My device is obsolete apparently so it would not pick it up
ADB - Driver Issues (Yay Vista)
Yet everytime, the same issue. Any idea on what I could do now?
Device Info -
KitKat 4.4.2
Xt926 (CDMA)
Droid RAZR Maxx HD
Bootloader is unlocked
Do you already unlocked the bootloader?

Yes, the bootloader is unlocked.
The TWRP that works for our phone is not official, so it won't be in any of those apps. Get the TWRP app in the Original Development section of this forum and flash it via fastboot or sideload and flash via Flashify.

How you install custom kernel without TWRP?

Fastboot the img file of twrp then boot into recovery from the bootloader

Got the same problem - I flash the TWRP image with fastboot successfully but when I try to enter recovery, it either reboots or shows me the stock recovery. I'm on stog Android 6, trying to flash a different rom and kernel...
we are on the same boat @granets . when i boot to custom recovery it just boots directly to homescreen.
Have you tried the other kernel i linked above?

Left the boat earlier by downloading TWRP again (for a third time!!!) and it worked fine. Guess when downloading from their site, there is a high percent chance you will get a corrupted file. So far around 50% of all images I download don't work, and every time the problem is different. Maybe try that

Hey guys. I just want to know if anyone can confirm that the roms and recoveries for the first Nvidia Shield Tablet can work on the NEW Nvidia Shield Tablet? I heard the two tablets are basically the same except for the built in stylus so I'm hoping that the roms work for the NEW one...
Thx Guys
I'm not sure about the ROMs, but the official twrp works flawlessly. I couldn't actually get it to flash via fastboot but I did get it to boot into it via fastboot, then did a backup, then flashed root. After flashing root I downloaded flashfire by chainfire and used that to flash the twrp recovery. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the helpful info! I hope this helps others as well. I will try a custom rom on it when I pick it up. Good thing you told me that I can't flash twrp via fastboot... (would've gave me a headache at first ) No problem though I'll just have to boot it via fastboot, make a backup just in case, flash supersu, and then flash the twrp recovery onto the shield with a third party app like flashfire.
Thanks again

Could you maybe try to do a full backup using flashfire? I used twrp and later realized it doesn't backup the recovery or the kernel so even if I need to I can't return to full stock. Flashfire is still in beta but there is a thread here to sign up. It's the replacement to flashify if I remember right.

Hi,
I have a HTC Desire 816G dual sim. It was on a stock rom Android 4.4.2
I used Kingo Root to get root access.
I installed the TWRP App and downloaded the latest version of TWRP
I flashed it to recovery with the TWRP App.
I could not get into recovery mode. The phone always rebooted when I tried this.
I opened the TWRP App again and flashed the TWRP recovery to boot.
Since then the phone is stuck in a bootloop.
Please help me.

I couldn't unlock the bootloader. I tried using htcdev.com but the use of command "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" didn't work.
Then I tried using htc_bootloader_unlock.exe but it failed.
If the bootloader would have been unlocked I could have flashed TWRP using fastboot.

You can't flash TWRP with a locked bootloader, regardless of whether you use fastboot or an app to flash TWRP. Can't do it either way.
At this point, you need to:
Flash your stock recovery
Or
Flash your stock firmware
Then get your bootloader unlocked and then research whether you need to have S-on or S-off depending on exactly what modding you want to do.

I only used Kingo Root because the TWRP App required root access and TWRP App seemed to be the only way to get TWRP recovery

How can I flash my stock recovery or my stock firmware?
The phone is in a bootloop.
with a short vibration the display turns on showing a white screen with the green htc letters and "powered by android" in the bottom. after 18 seconds it turns off and after 3 seconds black screen it starts again with the short vibration.

Try connecting to PC while it is in bootloop and use adb to get to fastboot mode, then flash your stock recovery.
Or you can try to use dd command to push your recovery.img to your recovery partition. You have to know exactly which mmcblk0 your recovery partition is or you'll brick the device.

* The first thing you flash the wrong recovery . so your phone always rebooted .
* If that happens again try ringing on your phone . The whole problem is in the boot animation A-Splash .
* as this did not benefit the way to try to recover the stock rom recovery .
