[TWRP][BRICK] Motorola Moto G LTE 2013 Peregrine - Fail entering Recovery Mode

Hi everyone,
I had a big iussue with my phone (Motorola X10T39).
I installed LineageOS 14.1, and I recently updated it at the version 14.1-20180908.
All worked fine, but after the update I lost root privilege.
After that, I updated my TWRP recovery from the version 3.1.0-0 to the version 3.2.3-0, flashing the image(.img) in recovery mode.
The file I flashed was correct, and the phone still boot properly.
But when I turn on the phone in fastboot mode and try to select recovery I get error:
"Invalid boot image size! failed to validate recovery image Boot failed"
What can I do to fix it?
Thanks

Try these steps in order, stopping if a particular works.
- Ensure you installed the correct TWRP image for Peregrine, not for Falcon.
- Try entering fastboot mode manually, if you didn't already try to: Turn off the cell phone, then press and hold the Volume Down button for couple of seconds and while still holding Volume Down button press the Power button for a little bit and then release both buttons at the same time.
- If you updated TWRP with the Official TWRP app, try flashing it manually in fastboot mode: fastboot flash recovery TWRP image name, copied exactly. If you did flash it manually, try installing via the Official app.
- Make sure your downloads for both the Rom and TWRP image are not corrupted - re-download with md5 sum checks and re-flash with verification.
- Backup all your data (including on SD Card) and clean flash TWRP & the rom again (i.e., wipe System, cache, Dalvik cache and format/wipe Data - important).
- If issue persists, re-flash the previous version of the TWRP or rom, depending on which one is the culprit, and report to developer.

This thread is quite old (around 2 years old). But nevertheless, I am sharing my experience so that it may help someone facing similar problem. I have a Moto G 1st Gen Falcon which was running Lineage OS 14.1 based on Android 7.1.2. I was planning to update it to Android 10 based Unofficial Lineage OS. I downloaded latest TWRP zip to update existing TWRP. I rebooted into TWRP and flashed the zip. It installed perfectly. Then to check it attempted to reboot into recovery. But it instead went to fastboot mode with the error "Invalid boot image size! failed to validate recovery image Boot failed". I tried botting into recovery but was not working. I tried flashing through adb a different file but it was not working. Then what worked was booting into recovery using the command Fastboot boot recovery recovery.img. After that I was able to flash Android 10 and now everything is working perfectly.

Stuck in Bootloop! fastboot OK, can't load recovery (Failed flashes?)

Please Help- device stuck in bnoot
Current status:
Stuck in bootloop
Fastboot loads ok, can supposedly flash recovery_ramdisk & system
TWRP doesn't load after flashing recovery (or recovery_ramdisk with EMUI version) - I get "load failed" error screen
EMUI8 was probably not completely installed
Initial condition
Honor 6X w/ stock EMUI 5.1 (Nougat)
Traceback
Goal was to install LineageOS 15.01.
This is what I tried:
Unlocked bootloader (&wiped device)
EMUI8 was a pre-requisite, so followed this guide to upgrade
Ran script in guide, which loaded twrp followed by EMUI update screen (as expected)
EMUI update ran for a while, restarted (I think) at least once, but then showed failure screen
Tried rebooting- no system, stock recovery. (fastboot still loaded fine)
Couldn't install TWRP or use script anymore - after some research looked like this was because boot directories changed in Android 8 (recovery -> recovery_ramdisk)
Was able to install EMUI8 version of TWRP, but unable to flash rom or rerun update script (it used recovery2 partition, apparently changed to erecovery_ramdisk, which I couldn't flash to)
loading TWRP was unreliable, worked sometimes and didn't other times
Somewhere around here it seems like I deleted stock recovery (erecovery) while trying various workarounds
Tried installing ElementalOS
The included TWRP loaded, ROM Installation seemed to work but got error in the end (don't remember details)
rebooted device - can no longer boot to recovery ( Error screen: "Func no: 11 (recovery image) Error no: 2 (load failed!))
device stuck in bootloop and Flashing recovery_ramdisk/recovery has no effect!
can still enter fastboot without any problems
I'm hoping there's some way to recover to fix the recovery/system partitions so I can upgrade or at least revert to stock ROM!
Any help will be greatly appreciated

Well when bricked the first thing you should try to do is flash TWRP. Which isn't working now? Can you somehow re flash and boot into TWRP? What TWRP are you using. Please try this one and let me know if it boots.
https://mega.nz/#!a81EDZAR!2-9yPFh3reghkGcfSl3nRIJhHGkP8fqDsgUG66ewjkk
Another thing you could try is Dload method. It requires an SD Card. Extract the Update.zip you downloaded on your PC and now create a Folder called Dload in your SD Card and copy the contents of the extracted zip into the folder. Put SD Card in phone and Hold all three buttons i.e. Power and Volume Up & Down at the same time. Firmware should start flashing. Once it finishes, while device is booting, press and Hold Power and Volume Up to boot into eRecovery and Perform a Wipe Data/Factory Reset. The Wipe Cache and reboot. If this works, then lemme know and then I'll help you flash a Custom ROM.

Thanks for the reply
Unfortunately TWRP doesnt boot (tried flashing the image you posted, same error screen- image below)
Dload method- I can't boot into erecovery atm- not sure if it's wiped or just can't be reached.
Also- the EMUI8 update I downloaded contained 3 zips- update.zip, update_all_hw.zip, and update_data_public.zip. do I only need the update.zip? (I can't boot into erecovery anyway, so it's a moot point until I do)

Ok the SW you downloaded is NOT a Dload rom, plus you do not enter eRecovery to flash it. Use the "force" method by pressing and holding all three buttons on power up.
Download a rom from here :-
https://androidhost.ru/
Also instructions are in the zip.

Tried downloading a rom from androidhost.ru- it had the update folder structure described,
and I put the unzipped dload folder into microSD root like the instructions said.
But pressing vol up+down+power doesn't load any update screen for me.
It just goes to bootloop again.
Is there anything else I can try?
Thanks

Corrupt or blue light at top

No surprise i screwed something up.
If I run the msm tool boots up fine. If I flash twrp 3.2.2-0 I get corrupt msg when booting.
Tried the fastboot room, it runs through fine but when rebooting I get the blue light at the top and have to use the msm tool.
I used msm oreo yesterday then updated to pie (which I don't want) yesterday then msm back to stock Oreo to see if it would fix the issue, no same thing.
This started when I tried to flash lineage Oreo and blue spark twrp couple weeks ago which failed.
So just want to be able to be back on Oreo and able to flash twrp again.

Twrp is good until I try and boot up so I think I'll try and flash stock on both slots while in twrp then twrp again, maybe that'll fix the problem.

Have you tried using the downgrade package?
http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amaz...all_1808102118_downgrade_68586451f7334c4d.zip
boot into the OOS (Pie I would assume)as normal, then go to the OTA screen within setup. Select the local upgrade and point to the downgrade package that is mentioned above.
This will wipe the full phone (user data as well), please ensure you take a backup if there is something important on the phone.
Once you are on Oreo - settings ->check if the bootloader is unlocked -> copy the latest TWRP zip to the phone and keep the img on the pc-> reboot to fastboot -> run the fastboot command to flash twrp "fastboot boot twrp-x.x.img" -> you will reboot into TWRP -> from within TWRP flash the TWRP zip and that should allow you to have TWRP installed.

Thanks
Thanks cbarai that worked. I was on oreo so updated to pie then used the downgrade, it fixed the problem.

Error 18 when trying to flash custom roms with Twrp

Hey all,
I unlocked the bootloader, flashed the latest bootloader, radio and vendor from april factory image, to both the slots with fastboot, booted into the twrp 3.2.3-0 (also tried booting into 3.3.0 version) and tried to flash the latest official DU 13.1 rom but I get the Error 18 kDownloadPayloadPubkeyVerificationError at the STEP 2 every damned time! I did a factory reset before flashing, and tried to start all over again many times, flashing factory image with the flash all script, rebooting and then flashing the A/B slots again, but I get that error when I try to flash the rom zip every time. I really don't know how to solve, can someone help me please?
EDIT: thanks to this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3/development/twrp-3-2-3-0-pixel-3-t3861622/post79346061#post79346061 I solved by doing this:
- fastboot boot twrp-3.3.0.0.img
- advanced->Install Recovery Ramdisk and choose the 3.3.0.0 image
- reboot to recovery
- factory reset
- flash the zip
- done

back to stock firmware. stuck on bootloop

Hello,
i have a Huawei Honor 6X (BLN-L21):
Multitool picture while phone is connected via fastboot:
ibb.co/Ykk6DdP
I had LineageOS 14.1 installed on my phone but I was missing some of the EMUI features. I decided to go back to EMUI (EMUI5.0). Everything worked fine. After that I wanted to install Magisk with this tutorial: How to install Magisk (xda)
After flashing the zip with TWRP the phone wanted a password for decrypting. I entered my normal screen lock pin. After checking it was saying that the password ist correct but my files were corrupted. I had to click on "reset phone" which was starting something like "factory reset lowlevel" but the same issue appeared after that.
I decided to get the firmware BLN-L21C432B382 with the Firmware Finder and I am having trouble to install that. First I wiped with TWRP then installed stock recovery and stock erecovery but when I try to force install the stock firmware, the installation gets stuck at 5% and then skips all the way to 100% and restarts. After the reboot I can see the Honor boot animation but it restarts before the normal screen appears. I guess this is called a bootloop. Any suggestions about it?
PS: I already tried to use erecovery to download the right firmware but its telling me "getting package info failed"
