Are you flashing a stock zip file or stock img file?

I would flash a custom recovery in ADB and then flash a stock rom image via the recovery.. if possible. That worked for me once when nothing else did.

Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

My computer recognises the phone only when it's on but black screen when I turn on download mode it doesn't see it and by the way how I get it to fastboot

Tried smart switch emergency initialization with sn of the phone?
If u need help with it I made step by step instructions, check threads created by me in my profile.

[Q] Moto G - TWRP/CWM Do Not Open in Bootmode

I've followed instructions to unlock my bootloader which is done. I'm not sure if - "Device is unlocked. Status Code 3:" is correct or not, but that is what I see.
After unlocking I flashed TWRP 2.6.3.0-xt1032.img and it flashed correctly according to adb (attached). When I reboot the phone into bootloader and select recovery the screen just goes blank. I also tried "recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.7-falcon.img", which seemed to flash OK in adb. The bootloader screen goes blank when I select recovery on the phone for CWM as well.
Both recovery flashes showed a similar result on the phone - this paste is for CWM
In Moto bootmode:
USB Connected
cmd: getvarartition-type:recovery
cmd: getvar:max-download-size
cmd: download:07b2000
cmd: flash:recovery
Mismatched partition zize (recovery)
The phone has stock Android 5.0.2 installed and still works, but I can't get any further than flashing the recovery image in adb. I did flash the logo.bin in adb and it seemed to flash correctly .
I'm running Windows 8.1, USB 3 ports.
Is there something I'm missing, or a different way to do the root? I'm stuck at this point, but luckily can run with the stock ROM for now.
I would appreciate any help I can get, Thanks
both recoveries you have used are seemingly outdated for lollipop bootloader. i would suggest you to try out the newly built TWRP (which is not yet publicly released) cant post URLs here yet but search for '[RECOVERY][falcon]TWRP 2.8.7.0 touch recovery [2015-06-24]' here in XDA

I tried and same result. After flashing with adb - disconnect USB , boot into bootloader, down to recovery, push power button and blank screen. Normal power up does the same thing as does factory. Ad I can confirm the version is 41.18.

these blank screens are quiet frustrating, can you get hold of the stock firmware for your model and flash back the stock recovery first and then try again with latest custom recoveries

I had problems last weekend after trying to go to CM12.1 after rooting and ending up in a bootloader loop. I ended up using a KitKat stock rom and mfastboot2 and typed in all of the lines - it worked. The phone then updated to 5.0.2 via auto update.
I don't have that stock from the network update, but found this one - XT1034_Retail_Canada_502_Stock_Untouched which contains 3 files, Meta-inf, system and boot.img. I don't see a recovery in the folder. I'm not really sure what to look for and how to do this.
Thanks

make sure you get exactly a stock ROM that is made for your model. trying firmware made for other models is surefire way of bricking you phone. usually the stock firmware images ending with '*.xml.zip' do have a 'recovery.img' in them.

Thanks again.
If I find a correct ROM (I do have a KitKat 4.4.4 version), do I flash back with adb, or with mfastbootv2?
The ROM I showed was from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-lollipop-rom-t3017510
I have also found a firmware link on this thread "http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/index-moto-g-falcon-factory-firmware-t3110795" that looks to be in the correct format. There are thorough instructions on how to flash the firmware, but I am not sure if this will fix my issue or not.
Would appreciate any advice on how to proceed.
Thanks
I finally understood your comment "...can you get hold of the stock firmware for your model and flash back the stock recovery first and then try again with latest custom recoveries". I got a copy of the stock firmware, extracted the recovery from it and flashed it via adb to the phone - ok. I then tried to get into phone fastboot recovery, but was faced with the blank screen again. I flashed twrp 2.8.7.0 and the same thing in fastboot recovery - blank screen. I also tried cwm 6.0.5.1 and the same thing, blank screen.
ADB sees the device and accepts the commands, but the Motorola fastboot recovery doesn't open any of the recoveries. Nothing else in the bootloader seems to work ie: Factory - blank screen.
Every one of the recovery files other than the stock recovery shows a pink colored error "Mismatched partition size (recovery).
Anybody have any ideas as to what I can do to get a recovery to work?
Is there a different way to root this phone?
@jjcdennis i think you should post this to one of the active threads, since nobody with experience (this is well beyond mine) has dropped in yet. i would highly recommend; http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-2-0-touch-recovery-t2980621

If you're installing stock rom you must have stock recovery. If you're installing newer version of current rom do a wipe data, wipe dalvik and wipe cache.

Bricked?

Hey everyone, so I usually know how to solve these situations, but this is different. I was trying to flash a rom so wiped everything from recovery and then realized that there is nothing on the sd card. I tried booting the phone but it is stuck at the google logo. Here is the problem: I am not able to get into bootloader/recovery mode and cant boot into the software. Does this mean the device is hard bricked?
Thannk You
ok so i am in recover/bootloader. when i am in twrp i can adb reboot to bootloader, but when i try to push a file it says device not found
No, it means u wiped everything and now need to sideload a new ROM, u will need a PC in order to do it, in twrp there is an advances section, in there is the adb sideload option, download the ROM and gapps to PC, and if u use windows use one of the toolkits to sideload the ROM u wanna flash, if Linux, use the terminal and type
adb sideload "name of ROM here".zip
Let it do its thing and ur all set, or u could just use the PC to dl the files then use a USB to transfers the ROM to the phone and flash it
PS, didn't see u can't get into recovery, have u tried long pressing power and volume, or whatever ur devices button combo is for recover?

Try holding down power, when it starts to reboot, switch to vol- and hold that till it boots to twrp, at worse u may need to use a PC and adb to boot to fastboot mode

oh ya I know I did it a ton of times too, but I wasnt able to get into bootloader mode. currently all is well and am flashing the rom

No FASTBOOT mode or RECOVERY mode

Today I tried to flash a new ROM and basically bricked my Z3. However, I was able to install a stock firmware and got the phone working perfectly again. Problem is, I want to install a new ROM (elsewhere in the forum) but I have lost my recovery mode and fastboot mode. Can anyone explain how I can get them back or install a new one? I tried flashing the TWRP recovery onto the phone but it keeps coming back with an error. My phone is not bootlocked and is rooted. I just want some kind of recovery options. Please help.
Thanks in advance :good:
To flash twrp you must have unlocked bootloader and if you want to flash on locked bootloder download nuts dual recovery.
For fastboot switch off the phone and hold vol up and plug in the usb voila if you see blue led.

Thanks to @AustinGarrick1818 who discovered that this TWRP originally started and developed for the Aristo 2, by @messi2050 and @armandop_, then later updated to the latest version by @tecknight, was able to be flash on the Phoenix 4 leading to the idea that any cv1 device is cable of a ROOT method/TWRP Recovery.
Pre-Requisites:
USB Debugging Enabled​
OEM Unlock Enabled​
ADB/Fastboot Device Drivers​
Your Phone/Brain​
Hey guys! Just a heads up, I'm not responsible for any bricked devices or broken devices. So flash at your own risk! This TWRP has the Oreo Kernel from the Aristo 2's Oreo Firmware release.

Latest Recovery by @tecknight Here --> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603906754​Latest USB Drivers --> https://www.lg.com/us/support/software-firmware-drivers​
Instructions:
1. Install the ADB Drivers from above. If you have them don't bother. Just move on. If you don't then make sure to install them somewhere easily accessible, as your gonna want to get to them easily.
2. Place the TWRP image in the ADB Folder for later use and plug your phone into your PC. Then press (Shift+Right Click) and select "Open Command Prompt Here".
3. After that type the next few lines of code:
Code:
adb devices
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
4. It should boot into fastboot mode. From there type:
Code:
fasboot devices
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
5. To prevent fastboot from encrypting cache and data type:
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
Code:
fastboot erase cache
6.Remember the Recovery image? Rename it to rec.img and flash it like this:

fastboot flash recovery rec.img
7. Now that you've flashed TWRP test it:
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
NOTE: Anytime you boot up your phone you will get a message saying that the bootloader is locked and you need to lock it. Don't do it. If you do then you phone will soft brick and get stuck in a bootloop. Just let it boot.
8. If you did everything right you should be brought to TWRP.
PLEASE LEAVE A THANKS! THANKS!
Downgrade?
Hey man thanks for pointing out that this will work with the all cv1 devices... I have the Aristo 2 on Metro... Is it possible to flash twrp while on the official Oreo firmware or do I have to downgrade to Nougat?
Last time I was on xda it was stated that you couldn't flash in fastboot while on official Oreo...

Yah, it's still like that unfortunately. But you can downgrade to Nougat with LG Uppercut. You should just flash the TWRP on Nougat firmware because it's not locked. So when you downgrade just follow these steps to get Oreo. Also don't install Tec's version of Oreo Firmware. Just jump to my other thread for my Custom Stock ROM. Tec's flashes Oreo Firmware with Oreo Stock Rooted. But mine just flashes the nesassary Oreo Boot and System. The links on my signature.
By the way for anyone wondering the LG Phoenix 4 can be Rooted this way to.

As long as your bootloader is unlocked it won't be a problem at least on the LG Phoenix 4 it can have TWRP with Oreo

Problem!!!
I do what you write in tutorial but my phone dont run on fastboot mode Please HELP!!!
Do we know anything about unbricking these phones? I've got a US Cellular K8+ (LG-X210ULM) that my wife accidentally bricked a while back while trying to flash TWRP (not this particular build, obviously). I think she said everything seemed fine and then on reboot...well, it just never turned on again. PC doesn't pick it up at all, no Qualcomm mode or anything. Based on that, I had assumed it was a lost cause that would take JTAG to bring back, and it may well be...
...but then I noticed something unusual the other day. For the hell of it, I decided to plug it into a charger and let it sit for a while. I got what I expected, which was nothing at all. Oh well. Anyway, I happened to be working with another X210 at the time but only had one battery handy, so I just popped the one out of the "dead" phone without unplugging it and went about with what I was doing. After about 5-10 minutes, something caught my eye - sure enough, the dead phone's screen was now on, displaying the "?" battery screen. I put the battery back into the phone and got unceremoniously dumped straight back to black nothingness. Oh well.
So yeah, the phone still doesn't seem to respond to anything when connected to the PC with no battery, so it's probably a no-go, but the fact that it still shows the no-battery screen tells me it's not quite *as* bricked as I thought it was at least. Any ideas? Are we lucky enough to do a boot-from-SD trick on this phone?

@NonStickAtom785 Any solution to start fastboot mode, the phone? Whenever I try to start it from CMD the phone restarts normally, there is no way to get into fastboot mode.
I already probe manually, with combination of buttons, and it does not work either, the model is the LX210HM

Have you tried installing the Aristo 2 firmware on your phone? In theory these phones have the same build and processors. Also in theory, but proven to work on some other cv1 devices (LG Phoenix 4), you should be able to flash Aristo 2 firmware and unlock your phone that way. I would also check your system.img to see if anything such as a security patch is in place to keep your phone from rebooting to the bootloader. You can backup the system.img manually and send me the img and I will look for anything that different from the Aristo 2 system.img.
Also by backing up the system.img and sending it to me, I can retrieve any "extra" carrier settings and add them to the cv1 img. I'm working on a full stock cv1 firmware img that will work on all the cv1 devices as a root strategy.
I have Lg K9 ( lmx210em ) and it's IMPOSSIBLE enter in fastboot mode, either with key combinations, either with adb command... The phone always boot in normalk mode !!!
Download mode and recowery mode work properly, but fastboot mode DID NOT !!!
urgent
i need the firmware the phoenix 4 please

Compatible Devices:
LG K8+
LG Aristo 2, 2+
LG K9
LG Phoenix 4
Thanks to @AustinGarrick1818 who discovered that this TWRP originally started and developed for the Aristo 2, by @messi2050 and @armandop_, then later updated to the latest version by @tecknight, was able to be flash on the Phoenix 4 leading to the idea that any cv1 device is cable of a ROOT method/TWRP Recovery.

I'm assuming this will not work on the LG Aristo 2 Verizon PrePaid LM-X210VPP ? Or am i wrong? I have one here in inventory that just needs a new LCD and Digitizer ($20) and I was thinking about fixing it and modding it but worried about Verizon and the bootloader being locked. Have not found a lot of info on this device just yet so debating whether or not to keep / fix or get rid of it.

Just created a whole EDL firmware for the Aristo 2 aka Phoenix 4. PM me for the links if you'd like a copy. I also found our prog_emmc_firehose_8917_ddr.mbn to flash with (it works)

The issue you describe appears to be caused by kernel incompatibilities between certain partitions of the phone.
The fact that TWRP does not have the screen glitching issue implies that the kernel embedded in the TWRP image you flashed IS compatible, but perhaps the kernel within your boot image is NOT.
My first question would be:
You mention that you rooted your phone from fastboot.
Did you:
1. patch the stock boot image on your phone or
2. flash a pre-rooted boot image to your boot partition or
3. Flash a pre rooted ROM to your phone
If you answered #2 or #3, then my secondary question would be:
Specifically which boot image or ROM did you flash to your phone ?

I did not get the edl package, but I really want it and of course his account is suspended.
Anybody have it ?
Also this method should be capable of working on your phone, as it is a cv1 device.
You may have to downgrade the firmware to Nougat before proceeding if the device is currently running Oreo.
If the device is currently running Oreo or later, you can downgrade the phone to Nougat using the LGUP utility
