After you run fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (or whatever the file is named.) you must immediately go into recovery from the fastboot menu, do not reboot the phone first or the first thing it will do is "repair" the recovery by reinstalling the stock recovery. Boot into TWRP immediately after flashing it and it will silently patch things to prevent that from happening in the future. After you do the flash, use the phone volume down button to scroll through the options until you see recovery, then use the volume up button to select the option. As stated previously the mismatched partition size error can be ignored.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] jingletard:
Thanks so much for this. I was getting MISMATCHED PARTITION SIZE errors when trying to flash any other version of TWRP on to my Unlocked Moto X 2014 version w/ Sunshine but this worked flawlessly. I got your latest version of TWRP from your site, flashed it, and it worked great. No more failed recovery flash errors!

I've come to realize, that as victara's TWRP gets updated, more and more issues pop up. For example, errors when installing Open GApps packages, something that does not happen in previous builds.

How did you flash the new TWRP image?
[X 2014 Original Android Development] Gus Ghanem:
Using fastboot in bootloader mode, over the previous version. I also tried flashing stock partition table, bootloader, and recovery, then reflashing TWRP 3.1, still the same. I wiped all 5 partitions, then tried to reboot recovery...
[X 2014 Original Android Development] RockyTV:
Try flashing the stock firmware, then flash recovery. I think you may have accidentally wiped the recovery partition.

[X 2014 Original Android Development] jonzey231:
See,

I've tried to do exactly this and I can't even get it to boot into the recovery using "fastboot boot _____.img". It just boots into the system every time. I know I'm doing it correctly because I do this on my 6P to flash Pixel Mods but this way I can still get OTA's.

This phone has had me scratching my head for three days trying to get a recovery to flash.

I just created a thread for this but maybe someone here can help me? Here's what I put in that thread:

Hoping I can get some help with the same issue.

I sent my 6P back in for a warranty repaid so I'm using this phone (XT1095) for now. I'd like to put LineageOS on it and root with Magisk BUT I'm having a ridiculous time getting TWRP to flash.

I certainly know how to flash images via fastboot and have done it for years but this is seriously pissing me off lol.

I got the code from Moto and unlocked the bootloader. I tried a simple "fastboot flash recovery _____.img", I've tried "fastboot boot _____.img".

At first, I was booting back into the system first but now I've tried it both ways. Regardless of what I do, after flashing the recovery, it boots into the system. The ONLY I can get this thing into recovery is if I boot into the system and just use "adb reboot recovery" but it's obviously the stock recovery because the phone keeps overwriting TWRP upon boot.

Just so we're clear:

1. Reboot into bootloader

2. Confirm bootloader unlocked

3. Fastboot flash recovery _____.img

4. Volume button to boot into recovery

Result = Boots into system

1. Reboot into bootloader

2. Confirm bootloader unlocked

3. Fastboot flash recovery _____.img

4. Fastboot reboot bootloader

5. Bootloader reboots

6. Volume button to boot into recovery

Result = Boots into system

1. Fastboot boot _____.img

Result = Boots into system

If it helps at all, upon flashing recovery I get this message 100% of the time "mismatched partition size", similar to the case on this thread: https://goo.gl/6Nm9cu​

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------

Just tried a 2.8.XX version and I'm finally able to get TWRP to boot. I can't for the life of me get a 3.X.X version to successfully flash or boot at all.

Thanks! haha
[X 2014 Original Android Development] Gus Ghanem:
I think there's a bug with the Reboot menu in 3.1.0-0, it only reboots to System no matter what you select (at least that's what happened after I wiped all partitions, then tried to reboot to recovery, or bootloader).
[X 2014 Original Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Do you know how to log errors that happen in TWRP? I had to revert back to an older version of TWRP because of the bugs in 3.1.0. I don't mind reflashing it if I can somehow pull recovery logs that can help the developers fix the issues.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] Gus Ghanem:
No, I've never bothered with logs, but last night I had a horrible time getting the phone back in working order, it turned out partitions were corrupted, which I was able to fix, then flashed Moto stock firmware. The phone is back to normal now, but I'm not sure I want to go through the headaches of custom ROMs anymore.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Get yourself a Nexus/Pixel dude.

My Nexus 6 is as old as our Moto X and it got 7.1.1. Google won't be doing 7.1.2 + for it but they will still provide monthly security updates for the rest of the year. The only other manufacturer that manages to keep a phone up to date for such long is Apple.

[X 2014 Original Android Development] KaaMyA:
What does this mean?

I'm worried!

By reading build attempts date... It's like 2-3 months between each one of them. No mention about all problems reported in older posts.

Are we reaching the limits of our device, or are we needing a customized TWRP for our device, as others already have?
[X 2014 Original Android Development] Gus Ghanem:
I'm guessing that without any updated source code from the OEM, it's becoming more difficult to make things work.

It seems to be taking a long time getting Oreo to be fully stable on this phone. I am starting to feel this phone is getting too old to keep supporting, but I can't find a new phone that's worth the full retail price, from the limited choices I have.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] KaaMyA:
You're right... I've the same problem...

I haven't been able to find a successor that could actually improve all features Moto X2 had, in the price range I bought it.

All I could find was by Xiaomi, but isn't the same.

I suppose this and Moto G (1) were the best phones Motorola had on their last Google days... So stable and trusted... And I can't find that feeling in any other brand these days.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] Summer Son:
The build attempt is being made, once the new version is developed. If it builds, you have it immediately for downloading, if not - the maintainer needs to tweak a code. May not be a big deal, though.

Regarding the successor of Moto X2 - I'm also starting to think about it. But before, first of all - is Oreo that much different from Nougat that you will really notice it in your day-to-day usage? At the end of the day, it's apps that we use and not the OS. Second, I believe we will still get a stable Oreo, maybe just later than others. But I'm also starting to look around. I think NOKIA 7 will be my choice - it's not overloaded with dual camera and 85" UHD screen, but it has a ZEISS optics instead, its (almost) exactly the same size - both body and screen (and even thinner, but there's a camera bump). It does not have a notification light, but come on, we have to learn to live without it. It has an IPS LCD, and after 2.5 years with AMOLED I'm starting to think it's not worse, and in the low light even better due to color accuracy. Recent NOKIAs have decent build quality (and I totally trust Foxconn). The only thing that is a deal breaker, so far - the unlocked bootloader. But, accordingly to the tweet of NOKIA CTO from the end of Oct, they will reconsider this policy and will unlock one device at a time. And there's a budget alternative - NOKIA 2, which I'm also tempted to try. Not significantly worse, but a good battery and LTPS screen, but significantly cheaper. Anyway, we still have time.
[X 2014 Original Android Development] RockyTV:
I too was thinking of a Nokia phone. I even considered OnePlus but their build quality (that inverted display issue) made me question them. Then Nokia announced their phones and I was attracted by their looks and supposed feel. The only problem I think I'd have is switching from a Snapdragon 801 to a 630, but I'm not sure if that's a problem at all since the 630 is newer.

Hi nerotix... I'm having the same issue of urs... i think it is a twrp bug... hopefully they fix it soon...

If u want a temporary fix do the following as i did each time u do a backup or changes thru twrp recovery:

download (root explorer) from play store and open it (its a paid app btw)

navigate to /data/media/0/

long press on twrp folder

click on (change owner)

change both Owner and Group from (0 - root) to (1023 - media_rw)

check on (Also set on all sub-folders and files)

hit OK

Now u will be able to access and make changes thru Windows....

[X 2014 Original Android Development] nerotix:
Download the above file into your platform-tools dir. Turn off your device. Turn on the device and keep holding volume down until a menu shows up. Plug the device into your computer. If you have the right drivers installed, run the following command via the command line:

fastboot boot recoveryfilename.img

adb push recoveryfilename.img /recovery.img

adb shell dd if=/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
[X 2014 Original Android Development] Noyamori:
Yes I already see that but I don't know what "platform-tools dir" means. ^^

EDIT : I have a new computer and I have only installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot for the moment so there is no platform-tools dir, Do you know how to proceed then ?
[X 2014 Original Android Development] nerotix:
It means the folder where ur ADB and fastboot is at.

[MENTION=912474]Dees_Troy[/MENTION], I found a new problem if you transfer a backup off of the phone and then they to put it back you get an error " cannot copy data.ext4.win000" so the only way that I found to get a backup back on the phone was to put it in a different folder and then use TWRP file explore and move it back to the right folder.

[X 2014 Original Android Development] Kallb123:
Well, I believe you can now just run fastboot flash instead of booting and running those commands.

But if you want to do it that way, it's probably an issue with drivers. Go into device manage while it's plugged in and booted into twrp, you shield be able to see it with an exclamation mark next to it. You should update driver, but select it manually as adb. Then you should be able to run commands :) it took me ages to figure that out :P
[X 2014 Original Android Development] crpalmer:
You should just be able to run

fastboot flash recovery nameoftherecovery.img

and then use the up/down volume keys to enter recovery from the bootloader menu on the phone. You don't need to do that set of three commands.

Root: Latest Chainfire SuperSU

Bootloader status: Unlocked*

TWRP: 2.8.3.0 from TWRP server flashed with adb.

Problem: When trying to do a backup in TWRP 2.8.3.0 on victara, the following error is given:

E:/ Unable to create folder: /data/media/0/TWRP

E:Failed to make backup folder
[X 2014 Original Android Development] revengineer:
I am having the same errno=13 problem with 2.8.3.0. As others pointed out v2.8.0.1 does not have this problem. Google searches did not turn up anything to resolve the issue. Has anyone successfully used this version to backup a Moto X 2014?

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------

One more question: How can I transfer the backups to my PC? For some reason I cannot pull the folder with "adb pull /data/media/0/TWRP" (object does not exist) or "adb pull /sdcard/TWRP" (folder empty). I can list the folder content in Root Explorer but not in Astro. The permissions are set to 777 for TWRP and subfolders. So there is something I am not understanding about these Moto X devices. Can anyone help?
[X 2014 Original Android Development] revengineer:
To reply to my second question: You need ROOT adb access to pull the backup. This is readily achieved using Chainfire's "adbd insecure". It's available for free in the XDA forums but there is a $1.85 version in the play store. If you go this route, please use the play store and buy the dev a beer.
