CWM no command

Hey there guys. I have recently flashed CWM-touch-6.0.4.7-falcon.img im able to go into recovery when i flash it, on reboot i selected yes for the fix install stock recovery, when back to recovery and it has an android with an exclamation mark coming out of it with it saying 'no command' at the bottom. How do i fix this? Moto G 3G 1st gen

You can try:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
And then:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
After you flash the custom recovery boot into it right away and see if that works.

I did that and it was all success but same thing happened

Also i tried flashing stock recovery but still no luck

An Android with an exclamation with 'no command' means you are on the stock recovery. Did you try the latest TWRP?

Oh right ok. No i haven't used TWRP, i don't really like it. I tried CWM touch but i haven't tried normal CWM yet

You can also try philz recovery. Not sure why it won't stick after you flash but be sure go into recovery right after you finish flashing otherwise it will overwrite back to stock I believe.

I always go straight into recovery after i flash it but when i reboot it goes back to stock recovery :/

What message do you get after flashing the recovery? Previously I got 'partition size mismatch' indicating I flashed a recovery different from stock. Philz & TWRP worked fine for me.

I forget, ill check it tomorrow as today i am a bit busy

I get a mismatch partition size (recovery) when i flash. I boot straight away to recovery, then say yes to disable flash stock recovery, reboot into recovery and stock recovery. I flashed the non touch CWM this time

Then sorry I'm not sure about the reason. May be you downloaded a wrong recovery or that recovery doesn't work with your bootloader. Just search the thread you downloaded this from to find any solution. Or if you don't like the TWRP try Philz touch as it is CWM based.

Currently the only supported recovery for moto g is TWRP by h2o64.

I have flashed CWM-touch and normal CWM before until flashify came along and made my recovery screwed up

I suggest you try using mfastboot included here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567719065
NOTE: mfastboot erase recovery is not required. Simply use: mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I flashed philz recovery. Rebooted again and went into recovery and it worked, the recovery was still there

But one more thing on reboot of recovery it didn't ask if i wanted to fix root. Am i rooted already or not? :/

Are you on stock or a custom rom? Certain custom roms may have built in root access for everything else you will have to flash SuperSU.
Glad to see you got the recovery issue sorted. I'm with you I don't particularly like TWRP so I pretty much use Philz exclusively.

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

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.

Can't exit bootloader after trying to reinstall TWRP on android 10

I updated to android 10 an hour ago, and placed my phone into the bootloader so I could re-flash TWRP. After I ran the command (fastboot flash boot C:\Users\USER\Downloads\twrp-3.3.1-4-guacamole.img), and tried rebooting, I couldn't leave the bootloader. I've tried using the buttons, trying to push the img to the phone and force it into TWRP, but nothing works. I think I didn't enable USB debugging when I entered the bootloader, but it was enabled before I updated.

It's a known issue, the commands aren't included in the bootloader for q yet. We need to wait for OnePlus to add them. To fix your problem, try fastboot booting the magisk patched boot.img for the 10 beta.

USB Debugging has nothing to do with fastboot.... Just flash stock boot img or a patched with twrp/magisk and boot your phone usually

First you don't flash the TWRP image.
That image is used as a fastboot boot. It is not to be flashed.
Normally, you would boot with that image and flash the TWRP zip to make it permanent.
Once TWRP is flashed, you need to also flash Magisk.
To get out of the situation you are in, you need a stock boot image to flash.
Once that is done, you can start over.
Read the instructions carefully before flashing images.

Just to clarify then, when I run fastboot flash boot TWRP, I use the zip? If not, what command am I using?!

The command is "fastboot boot recoveryfilaneme.img" using the .img file

No, no, no.
TWRP can only be flashed from either TWRP or Magisk.
On this device, you can only boot the image file. You can only flash the zip while running a booted TWRP or from the Magisk Manager.

Hope I can explain myself. You are using a command you shouldn't be using: fastboot FLASH boot, you shouldn't flash the image from fastboot, you need to use that image to boot into recovery and then flash recovery itself from INSIDE recovery, then you NEED to flash Magisk from inside recovery too.
The command is: fastboot boot recovery.img
Btw, you can't see the "modules" option in Magisk because I think you flashed stock boot.img. Try flashing Magisk patched boot img and then flash recovery in Magisk as it was said before.

Did you click all the 3 buttons at once?

This is not a command you will find in any guide for this device (at least not any guide that is correct)!
The command you used, flashed the image to over-write the boot partition, which is essentially the kernel. You no longer have a kernel, so of course the phone cannot properly boot to OS. This is also not the correct way to install TWRP, so therefore you have no TWRP installed on the phone, either.
Proper sequence to install TWRP would have been:
1) fastboot boot TWRP.img
This only "boots" into TWRP, but does not install it. I know the syntax here is confusing. "boot" versus "flash boot" do completely different things. In this case "boot" is the action. In the command you used "flash" is the action, and the "boot" partition is the location.
2) Flash TWRP installer zip
3) Flash Magisk
At this point, the easiest path is probably to do what was suggested in Reply #6 above (flash patched boot image, boot to OS, open Magisk and install TWRP from Magisk).

General [TWRP] Xiaomi 12

This TWRP works with Xiaomi 12
📌 [Shared] TWRP by skkk
⚡⚡A12/A13⚡⚡ ----------------------- BOOT VERSION Installation: Phone in fastboot mode Cmd: fastboot boot twrp.img or Power shell ./fastboot boot twrp.img then in Twrp go to Advanced -> flash current TWRP...
forum.xda-developers.com
Command to install:
1. boot your device in Fastboot mode
2. fastboot boot recovery_finename.img
This will temporary boot your device to TWRP
3. From TWRP go to Advanced and choose "Flash curent TWRP" - this will permanently install TWRP but will overwrite magisk scripts, so root will be lost.
4. Flash magisk from TWRP - this will fix root.

Thanks bro.

REC it's for direct flash the recovery with "fastboot flash recovery.img" (doesn't work for me)
BOOT it's for boot to the recovery "fastboot boot recovery.img" to flash permently go to advanced and "flash current twrp" (work great)

Hello. I have the latest TWRP installed on my Xiaomi 12. A friend of mine installed it. I would like to learn it, but the command "fasboot boot twrp.img" doesn't work for me. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but the phone still won't boot into TWRP. I'm using ADB minimal and I renamed the downloaded file to twrp.img and put it in ADB minimal, then I used the command mentioned above, but still nothing happens, the phone won't enter TWRP. Once it enters TWRP, I use the command: "flash current twrp", I already know the next procedure. I welcome help. Thanks

" I would like to learn it, but the command "fasboot boot twrp.img" doesn't work for me"
Check with"fastboot devices"CMD or "./fastboot devices"Powershell before
the phone must be in fastboot mode.
CMD=fastboot boot recovery twrp.img
Powershell=./fastboot boot recovery twrp.img
Then use the twrp
go to Advanced > Flash Current TWRP
The Twrp .img must be in the same folder as the command.
Possibly post the screenshot of the result of the command

Already said in the post above.
1/You wrote "fasboot" instead of fastboot.
2/Download SDK platform-tool extract the folder and put the twrp in it.
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
3/ use the command from the folder where the twrp is.

Hello, I already know it was successful. Thank you for your help. Best regards, Josef

fastboot flash recovery xxx.img is not correct.

A question: why the twrp version jumped from from 3.x directly to 5.x?

How To Guide Xiaomi 12S Ultra TWRP(unofficial)

12S Ultra unofficial TWRP - link MEGA
Credit - UnofficialTWRP
They released TWRP under 12S Pro, but the code name is Thor which stands for 12S Ultra, and after flashing, I do confirm this is for 12S Ultra.
now they have a proper 12S Ultra section!
Download the image and rename as recovery.img for simplicity.
fastboot boot recovery.img (or full file name)
in TWRP, go to "Advanced" and "flash this twrp."
edit: the recovery image file is too large to be flashed directly via fastboot, so you need to boot first then flash using twrp!
edit2: backup and restore function may not be working properly on this version of twrp! I get boot loops everytime I do a full system backup and full restore after bricking the device, especially on the data partition. Clean installing rom then restoring data only still get boot loops. so use it with caution.
I suggest you to use 3rd party backup apps to do backups on apps and data, and stick to the flashing and other functions only for twrp.

No I'm pretty sure it's:

However my question was why the method outlined by @Nabicook vs this method. Is it because of the dual partition?

Because not only it is the method unofficialtwrp suggested, but also the size of the recovery img file is too large to be flashed via fastboot.
I already tried
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery_a recovery.img
and so on, but all failed.
only way to properly install this version of twrp is to boot first then let twrp to install itself to both a/b partitions.

Hi!

rebooting into recovery through ADB or just using buttons...still sends me into fastboot mode
What can I do?

are you sure you did
fastboot boot (your recovery file name).img
it should automatically boot into twrp without touching anything from fastboot mode.
then install twrp through the advanced option in twrp

Still having issues:
After flashing twrp + magisk, reboot sends me into fastboot mode ..
As I get it, previously I've messed up with boot image, flashing recovery into that partition
So question is:
Do I need to reflash stock boot.img (need help with getting it, stock recovery rom is packed into .bin and I'm unable to extract boot image
Or can I simply reflash stock ROM (in recovery or fastboot mode?)
*my phone is unlocked already

yeah you can try flashing stock boot img, and if that doesnt work, you can download fastboot rom and flash stock rom using flash all without wiping data(there is .bat file that says something like install without formatting).
That will fix any kind of brick issues of xiaomi device, and you just redo the twrp part.
