[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knrast:
Hello!

I have been following :http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-play/general/untested-how-to-root-moto-x-play-t3211941

To try and root my Moto X Play phone.

Step 1.

I have successfully unlocked the bootloader, since then in fastboot mode it now says: Device is UNLOCKED. Status code 3

Perfect.

Step 2.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

So when I do this I get:

(bootloader) has-slot:recovery: not found

target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes

sending 'recovery' (8366 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.289s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 0.142s]

finished. total time: 0.436s

But NOTHING happens on my phone. Nothing flashes, nothing installs. Nothing happens.

So then I reset the phone as instructed, then eventually make my way back into recovery mode by holding power and vol down.

But I do not see the twrp recovery screen, just the regular old android fastboot screen. So twrp install unsuccessful.

And therefore I cannot proceed to step 3

Just in case anyone asks, here is the log from "fastboot getvar all" :
