Can't Get Recovery To Open in fastboot - RESOLVED

spellin

After hours of messing around with abd commands and booting/rebooting, I finally took a shot with cf auto root and it worked. I have an XT1034, but used CF-Auto-Root-falconumts-falconreteu-xt1032. There is no specific version for xt1034. I'm rooted and now I move on to Cyanogenmod 12.1 and Gapps.

I did use the volume button for recovery, but the moto G intro screen kicked in followed by a red android laying on its back with an ! and "no command". Went nowhere from there.

Thanks to all that helped.
[Moto G Android Development] jneto3000:
That's normal. You then had to press some buttons (hold power for 1 sec then press volume up) I think that's the way, I don't remember well right now. Hás the tutorial on Motorola's website.

So, I don't see how you could not access custom recovery since your stock recovery was booting normally. The problem is when not even the stock recovery boots up.
[Moto G Android Development] samewaterbottle:
Can I update safely?

I have TWRP 2.8.6.0 and on top of that a GPE theme and AIK which changed my splash screen. How do I go about updating? Easiest method would be to use TWRP to flash the new recovery or Flashify? I think that should remove my custom splash screen but maintain my theme and AIK? Right?
[Moto G Android Development] z31s1g:
Right.

Or you repack the 287 recovery with a new splash and flash it. Updated, with custom splash, theme in place. All in one go.

Can't Get to Recovery - Fastboot - Solved

Believe me, I feel like an idiot.

I don't think in all the many threads I read that the correct sequence to get into recovery was listed. I finally found a the steps on a forum post and booted into recovery.

Steps:

- when phone is off hold volume down volume down then push power button with volume down for 3-5 seconds- fastboot opens

- then use volume down button to get to recovery on fastboot menu - push volume up to start recovery and you will see the Motorola splash screen followed by green Android laying down with an ! and "No Command"

- when Android is visible press and hold the Power Button for 2-5 seconds, while holding it, press and release the Volume Up button - recovery opens with options.

Duh...finally got it.

And today I used recovery to install Cyanogen 12.1 and gapps via OTG USB. I've learned a ton.

Thanks again for everyone's patient help.

[MENTION=6775522]jjcdennis[/MENTION] glad you got this sorted out. didnt sound like you had a show stopper problem in the first place. but this odd button fiddling drives everyone nuts
[Moto G Android Development] jjcdennis:
Someone mentioned the volume down and then volume up to select. This tweaked me and I searched it out and that lead to the solution. CM12.1 is running great. Thanks for your help.
[Moto G Android Development] samewaterbottle:
Won't I need the new theme file for 2.8.7 recovery? I think I wil. Thanks for the comment
[Moto G Android Development] z31s1g:
No you don't. You can either use 286 recovery and 286 theme to repack the 287 recovery.

Or you can update the theme first, and then repack.

The theme changes do not affect critical functions, so there's no problem running the new theme on the old recovery, or vice versa.

But in the end you should make sure to have recovery and theme updated.

[Moto G Android Development] h2o64:
It must work.

GPE is Google Play Edition. If you never converted your device to it choose the stock file.

I try and use TWRP-2.8.6.0-falcon_MULTI. img, but the multi (I beleave MultiROM) is not working, if its selected, just say multi is not implemented.

Does exist a new and themable MultiROM recovery?

Enviado desde mi MotoG Ferrari
[Moto G Android Development] h2o64:
No it won't

If you take a look at the other file, STOCK and GPE refers to the variant. So, MULTI refers to a "multi"variant build. However it has been reported that it doesn't work

Reboots when trying to wipe data :( latest 2.8.7.0 notheme stock

edit: fixed it by using repair tool in TWRP
[Moto G Android Development] desihu:
I am also stuck with the same problem, since yesterday on my XT1032, which was running smooth on CM ROM, till all went kaaboom!!

Had to do a stock write of 5.0.2, after which I have not been able to get the recovery to run TWRP or CWM or the Phils. Must have done almost 20-30 times on various PC's and OS's

AnY Ideas

Update: This is what happens when you do lot of flashing and are also growing old at the same time!!!

The correct steps to be followed as a below...

1. Re-Stock your XT10xx with the choice of your own... 4.4.4 or 5.0.2 or 5.1

2. Root - Run the CF root

3. Now run the TWRP img!!!
[Moto G Android Development] jjcdennis:
And when choosing the stock firmware consider the bootloader version you want on the phone. So if you are going to flash a Lollipop (5.0 or greater) ROM, make sure you flash a stock Lollipop (5.0 or greater) ROM .

I just reverted back to 4.4.4 and when I click on reboot on recovery it freezes, which make it only possible to turn off while pressing the power off button, any help?
[Moto G Android Development] apollo344:
Current State.

Hi guys, what is the current state of this recovery - the last time I flashed it, taking a backup caused my phone to forget my passcode - pattern or pin on stock lollipop.

So is the recovery currently working, backup and restore with stock lollipop?
[Moto G Android Development] h2o64:
Up to date and functional is the current state.
[Moto G Android Development] apollo344:
Brilliant - no more issues with backups or pass codes?
[Moto G Android Development] h2o64:
No more issues.
[Moto G Android Development] Lvsitano:
I used this recovery version today, and I found an issue. I was doing a backup to an external USB pendrive with USB cable, and after a while the recovery turned screen off to conserve power. When pressing the power button, there was a message to swipe to unlock, but screen was not responsive. I thought it was because it was under heavy usage while generating MD5 sum, so I waited it to finish, and again I could not unlock screen by swiping right or anything else. So I had to turn off phone to exit recovery.
[Moto G Android Development] granazis:
Yes,frient thats true as i met on my falcon xt1032, and ATM i solved this giving more timeout to be screen on e.g 10 or 30 minutes to be safe but, be sure the batt have enough power as an amount needed to also usb pendrive be powered, untill [MENTION=4792450]h2o64[/MENTION] is going to solve this problem.

Please confirm - this TWRP supports (Verizon) XT1028?

Hi there. I purchased a new (Verizon) XT1028 that was still running a rootable v4.4.2, so I've now got an unlocked bootloader (having sprung for Sunshine).

I want to confirm that this build of TWRP, for "All Variants", is my best option, and that the official build for the Falcon XT1032 is not compatible.

Thanks!

EDIT - I went ahead and flashed the latest via fastboot and all is well. The bootloader's message about "mismatched partition size" through me for a while, but I found [MENTION=4792450]h2o64[/MENTION]'s note that it's meaningless and sure enough, the recovery's in place and functional.

Issue while in TWRP recovery: there's an apparent scanning issue on the display - a horizontal ripple moving from bottom to top and starting over - anyone else seen this?
[Moto G Android Development] granazis:
The horizontal scanning line is also meaningless as i met this (but the line started from top to bottom )on my xt1032/2014 converted to gpe 5.1 amd i was runing the old 2.8.6.0 without any problem. So the only thing that remains is to make a backup of your rom and then restore it just to see that all well done. IMHO you are not going to have any problem. If somewhere i am wrong please correct me.

NOTE: now i am using the new 2.8.7.0 for gpe and this line never appeared,if you meet the problem refered above you try to do following what i did.

Best regards
[Moto G Android Development] bmeek:
weird display scanning resolved but sideload ROM flash fail...

Regarding the "horizontal scanning", it appears to be related to the bootloader version (or something that comes with it) relative to the corresponding ROM and Recovery versions. I found a pointer to a newer flashable bootloader from a XT1031 that is now working with my XT1028 and a lollipop ROM - no weird horizontal scanning to be seen anywhere!

One issue - I was unable to use this TWRP (stock no-theme build v2.8.7.0) to sideload the Temasek Unofficial CM12.1 ROM (which incidentally is way more than simply an "unofficial CM12.1 build" more of a CM12.1-based mashup with a good deal of optimizations). I got an error trying to sideload, but the same download flashed fine when I pushed to the moto g's "sdcard" and installed from within TWRP.
[Moto G Android Development] h2o64:
So... Two roms are problematic to flash : stock and teamasek.

Thanks for reporting

[Moto G Android Development] r25txe:
I think you can add Resurrection Remix 5.5.3 (5.1 Lollipop) to the list of problematic ROMs to flash.

I see the message unable to mount /system in the logs and it causes havoc with the /data partition, too. This is despite the output of script succeeded at the end.

I have just flashed Euphoria and did not see the same error message and am waiting for it to boot now as I type.
[Moto G Android Development] r25txe:
Euphoria installed but would not boot either, just like Resurrection.

I think I have this tracked down to a partition table issue, but I don't know why Stock 5.0.2 works with no issues.

What /system size is the recovery set to be compatible with? Does it allow for differing sized /system? I see it has option for 'Resize' under system options.

I am going to flash a partition table from a 4.4.4 Stock ROM and try that as I have read elsewhere that this fixed some issues with custom ROMs.

I am on bootloader 41.18, is there any known issues with this and the recovery?

It's been a while since I used windows, but I believe it's just fastboot flash recovery (and the recovery file name goes here). There are a lot of things you have to do first to do fastboot on windows, so I'd read up on how to setup ADB and fastboot on windows.
