Is it weird to have a teamwin bootloader with a working camera? I installed Honamiz ub and lb in the development thread. I realized I could boot into recovery when I pushed the power button. It's the teamwin bootloader. My camera does work. The teamwin bootloader is different from stock right?
I really want to play with it and install a custom romantic to test it, but I have a wedding to go to today. Don't wanna mess up my phone.

I think you have recovery and bootloader mixed up.
You can install a recovery without unlocking the bootloader

Thanks for clearing that up. Thought you couldn't load a custom recovery with a locked bootloader.

Hi, I have an S-ON Dev ed, I flashed TWRP 2.5.0.0 to the device via fastboot. Everything seemed to go just fine, but I can't boot into recovery at all! Everytime I go to bootloader and choose Recovery, it just reboots back to OS.
Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks.

Just tried and still doesn't work. Quick boot also off in Settings.
I don't know the fix for TWRP, but I had that exact problem on my Dev and switched to CWM Touch and it works great now.
Okay, I agree with everybody else. This is freaking weird too. I went home and used the same toolkit to boot into bootloader and "tampered" showed up right away. Chose Recovery and TWRP loaded perfectly fine. Weird.
Is there a method that has been released yet?
Unlock your bootloader, flash TWRP and then flash Supersu. Very simple to root a dev device.

Is there away to brute force root? I'd like to root before I unlock my boot loader, so I can back everything up before the wipe. :-\

You may be able to use SlapMyMoto. Not sure though.
Go to this thread and follow directions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2534850. Once you install the recovery, it will root your device for you.
If you have a Dev edition device why not unlock your boot loader first since it will wipe everything just get it over with. Flash your twrp and make your stock back up. Then let twrp install root. Done. If you are worried about losing anything from unlocking the bootloader then back it up to your PC. If you want a complete stock set up of your device then you have stock fast boot images for your Dev edition device and don't have to worry about that.
This post also might help has some links to tools you will need, some instructions, and video if needed.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48447283&postcount=150
Hey everyone
I've recently solved my OTA problem (seen here) but I soon discovered yet another problem.
When I tried to enter SuperSU, I received the following error shown below.
As mentioned before, I'm on 4.4.2 and I have NO desire whatsoever to unlock my bootloader all over again. Is there anyway to re-root my phone without unlocking my bootloader or will I need to do just that in order to re-root?
Thanks in advance
Anyone?
Please help :crying:

From what I know, and by the error displayed on the attached screenshot, you need to do the whole rutine all over again. I am pretty sure rooting can not be done if bootloader is locked, which might mean you have a stock recovery image as well - and since that is not keen to be rooted (as far as I know) you need to flash a custom recovery like twrp. I might be wrong in all this, I'm newish to all this.

Since you are S-ON you can not flash a custom recovery or root without unlocking your bootloader.

Well, for starters, my bootloader is unlocked (as mentioned before), thus we eliminate the bootloader unlocking dilemma. But it still doesn't tell me how can I re-root my device: you want to tell me that I have to do is to flash a custom recovery and install SuperSU again, and my phone will be rooted again?

yes you can flash your stock recovery again, might be a good idea to do a nandroid backup of your current config before flashing back the stock recovery.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

Will do! Thanks a bunch!!!
I need help with figuring how to solve my problem. Whenever I try to reboot it boots straight to hboot/fastboot. I can't update my system because of it. Can't unlock because it freezes at the screen where I choose to unlock or not. What should I do??
What have you done to your phone so far?
Have you unlocked your bootloader?
Have you installed TWRP Recovery?
Have you rooted your phone?
Have you flashed any new roms or kernels?
Can you still access your recovery? (TWRP or stock - stock is just black screen with a red triangle in the middle)
Please give a detailed description of the things you have done, the results of each of these things if any, and when your phone started rebooting straight to HBoot.
Also, is your phone the 32 bit US model, or the 64 bit Europian/Australian model?
There's still a chance your device's firmware is recoverable, but you probably shouldn't try anything until you get some advice from someone who has a lot of knowledge and a detailed description of how you ended up where you're at.
Good luck!
What have you done to your phone so far? I have unlocked it before, but end up re-locking it after failing to root it.
Have you unlocked your bootloader? I did and relocked it.
Have you installed TWRP Recovery? Couldn't and Can't
Have you rooted your phone? No
Have you flashed any new roms or kernels? No
Can you still access your recovery? (TWRP or stock - stock is just black screen with a red triangle in the middle) I can't enter recovery.
I have no .img files when entering hboot. I can't unlock because it freezes after choosing the unlock option. It shows entering recovery at the stop and a discalimer message at the botto and goes no where
How to fix the issue
The first thing is to do is to relock the boot loader by typing 'fastboot oem lock' and the appropriate RUU for your device and carrier and open the RUU and reflash the device and it will be good as new

You should not just lock the boot loader without first reinstalling the stock recovery! When you go to use the RUU if it doesn't see the stock recovery it's going to fail... First reinstall the stock recovery and then OEM lock then you can use the RUU!
P.S. I have no idea why you're replying to some post from 2014... This post was almost a year ago lmao...
You don't have to have stock recover I did it with TWRP Recovery and it put stock recovery for you

So i unlocked my moto and rooted it with magisk. I also flashed the twrp recovery. Now as i wanted to unroot the my moto, I unrooted from masgik uninstall option. But the twrp is still present in there. I think the stock recovery is override by the twrp. I need help as i wanted to be fully stock and lock the bootloader.
I think if i tried to lock bootloader now it will brick the moto as the stock recovery is not there. Help me guys.
