[Q] How does one "launch in to recovery" while with TWRP installed?

Before I unlocked and installed TWRP on my Moto X, I had the option to restart into recovery mode which gave me system write access. But now with TWRP, when I press launch to recovery, it just launches my custom recovery; TWRP. How do I reboot into recovery like before, or is it not required anymore once I've unlocked the bootloader?

Since you have TWRP installed you already have read write access.
Have you flashed SuperSU to gain root?

I don't even... What I'm getting from your post is that you unlocked your bootloader and flashed a custom recovery but don't understand why you did it nor what the benefits of each are. Go read up on unlocked bootloaders and what their benefits are. You'll get your answer a lot quicker that way.

i can't get out of TWRP recovery mode

Hello,
I'm a newcomer in this forum but I have already successfully unlocked bootloader and flash custom rom onto my OnePlus One.
Now I'm doing this for my friends Xperia Z as well but i'm stuck in recovery mode now.
This is what I've done so far:
- unlock bootloader
- flash twrp image file via fastboot
- after command "fastboot reboot" -> it boots into twrp recovery
- asks me if its okay to modificate system partition, i swipe okay
- want to reboot into system -> asks me if i want to flash supersu for root access, i swipe okay
- boots into twrp recovery -> want to reboot into system but i boot into twrp anyway
Edit: when power down the phone and restart -> boots into twrp recovery
Now I'm stuck in recovery mode. Please help me

Reflash the firmware with flashtool and try again.
do not install supersu when twrp ask for it .

Can't root LG-H811 20p because supersu soft bricks phone

So I connected my LG-H811 running stock ROM 20p to my PC successfully and ran adb and fastboot to transfer twrp and supersu over to the phone internal drive. So far so good. I couldn't get twrp to flash properly, so I simply did a temporary boot and got twrp to run without flashing it as a recovery. Then I used twrp to flash supersu (SuperSU-v1.94.zip). The problem is that when I try to reboot, it says the superSU binary is not installed. So I tried newer versions of supersu (SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip and SuperSU-v2.48.zip). Each time with these newer versions it soft bricked the phone again and required a full stock ROM restore. Specifically, it hangs either on the black LG screen or the white T-mobile screen, while the blue LED flashes on and off every few seconds. To unbrick it each time, I did a restore with stock ROM H811V20p_00_0913.kdz with LGUP. That got it working again with stock ROM, but no root. There must be a way to get superSU to install on 20p (and even get the twrp recovery to flash). I unlocked the bootloader, and it seems to load, so apparently that's not the issue. Thanks.

Thanks raptorddd, but that's exactly the problem. I did flash superSU using twrp, and it seemed to install fine. I expected that I would simply get root as you say, but that's not what happened. The first time with SuperSU v1.94 newly installed, the phone rebooted normally, and the superSU app showed up, but it didn't work because it said there was no binary installed. The newer versions of superSU simply soft-bricked the phone. So I need a way to get superSU to work and not soft-brick the phone. Is there a preferred version of superSU for LG-H811 ROM 20p, or some obscure setting that makes it work?

Thanks -- that's the the exact same version of superSU I used earlier (I even ran a diff, and the files are identical). After I flashed this version of superSU on the p20 stock ROM with twrp, it soft-bricked my phone. By that I mean it got to the boot page, and the blue LED pulsed on and off every few seconds, and it never got beyond that. When I flashed superSU v1.94, at least it booted afterward, but when I opened the superSU app, it didn't even give me the option to update binaries -- it just said the binary isn't installed, and so superSU can't run, it exited.
Maybe I'll try flashing an earlier stock ROM and see if that allows superSU to flash and run properly -- not sure which ones are compatible given the anti-rollback versioning.

OK so I finally got root. The key was to copy over this file to the phone's internal memory:
Imperium_Kernel_G4_H811_v4.8a.zip
Then:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-h811.img
Then in TWRP, flash the imperium kernel. After that everything worked with root, though I still can’t get the twrp recovery to flash properly. Having root is good enough for now though.
EDIT: just now got TWRP to flash using flashify, so everything works. On to unlocking...
can you please share what guide you used to unlock and root this phone? I'm having issues on finding it, im on the newest update

May I ask where you downloaded the Imperium_Kernel_G4_H811_v4.8a.zip
Did "fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-h811.img" work?
What version of SuperSu did you install? I am planning on using "SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip"

You can get the latest Imperium kernel (5.0 currently) from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/kernel-imperium-kernel-g4-v1-0-t3282915
Yes, fastboot boot from the twrp image was kind of a hack, but it worked. As for SuperSU, I tried v1.94 and SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip. Both soft-bricked the phone. Maybe the newest SuperSU will work, but I wouldn't count on it given that several previous versions didn't.

I need to flash twrp and root from 20p also. One question to clarify exactly what you did,
Did you originally try flashing TWRP from TWRP? You said you flashed root from TWRP but I want to verify if you tried flashing TWRP from TWRP like:
> adb reboot bootloader
> fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-h811.img
then in TWRP:
> install click on image tab.. then select twrp-3.0.2-0-h811.img recovery and flash it.
> reboot recovery (should reboot to TWRP you just flashed)
Just to be totally clear doing > fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-h811.img leaves your stock recovery intact and just loads TWRP temporarily.
Or did you actually flash TWRP from TWRP and it didn't flash properly?
Thanks!

Yes, just loads TWRP temporarily. Later I installed some apps that flashed the recovery successfully, either rashr or flashify (I don't remember which)
I hope you have all the files and pc is reading your phone in adb.
Keep the downloaded twrp file in your adb folder with dwonloaded name (Ex:1234twrp.img)
Copy the file and keep in phone internal storage with names recovery.img
adb reboot bootloader (wait for phone to boot in bootloader ofcourse)
fastboot boot 1234twrp.img (whatever your twrp img file name would be)
Now you are in twrp recovery page in the phone.
Tap Install > Images (bottom right) > select recovery.img >
Now you are in next screen where options to slect recovery or boot
Tap recovery and swipe you will see [image flash complete]
Now twrp is permeant. You can restart in recovery without PC. (Tested)
I have flashed more than 6 methods to install supersu. Keep trying and reply.

A Stock ROM and Bootloader that will leave bootloader unlocked?

As per another thread, I am having issues (bootloops at the android/moto logo screen) after replacing my Turbo screen. I am unlocked and rooted. I know this cause I was before I replaced the screen (used Sunshine) and had RR custom ROM installed. Still unlocked because I can get to the bootloader screen (Power + Vol Down) and it says "Phone is Unlocked. Status code: 3".
To try to at least get a booting phone: Is there ANY stock ROM and Bootloader that I can flash that will still keep my phone UNLOCKED? I don't want to re-lock it and then have it locked forever (which I think the latest stock updates does). I am thinking that if I can flash a stock bootloader and ROM, then I can reflash TWRP and custom ROM (and get rid of the bootloop).
I would assume that if I had put something together incorrectly then it wouldn't boot at all and I wouldn't be able to get to the bootloader screen.
Thanks for any info/advice.
P.S. I did try just reflashing TWRP but it still bootloops at the same point; and I can't get into recovery.
So, when you boot to bootloader (Phone off, then power and volume down button at the same time), and you then arrow up to "recovery" when you push the button to go there, what happens? Is TWRP not still installed or something? the only reason it wouldn't be installed is if you flashed stock firmware and wiped it out with stock recovery.
Use the hardware method
First of all, you have to turn off your phone.
Then, you need to press Volume Down button and hit power key.
Bootloader mode will be then displayed on your device.
From there, use volume up and down buttons in order to scroll up and down and power key to select.

________
If your Droid Turbo bootloader is unlocked, flashing stock firmware with bootloader won't lock it. The newest firmware is to PREVENT the bootloader from being unlocked by Sunshine. It won't lock it back.
However, with stock Marshmallow you will have to re-root with older SuperSu beta for initial root. Flashing with newer SuperSu causes bootloops. After you have initial root then you can update to newer SuperSu.
But first tell me what happens when you try the hardware method of getting to recovery.

also you can force the phone to boot to TWRP, even if you don't have TWRP installed on the phone...
fastboot boot recovery.img
Where "recovery.img" is your TWRP file on you PC.
if you named it TWRP.img, then the command would be
fastboot boot TWRP.img
If you need to force the phone to go to the bootloader, the commad is
adb reboot bootloader
and then from there
fastboot boot recovery.img
(where "recovery" is whatever you have named the TWRP file.)
It's basically "temporary" TWRP. It doesn't install TWRP, but makes your phone boot to TWRP from your bootloader screen. It uses the TWRP file (whatever you have named it) from your PC folder. You then will boot into TWRP, can install stuff, make a backup, whatever you want to do. From TWRP, you can even install TWRP!
But you can reinstall your custom ROM, or you can restore a backup -- whatever you want to do from the "temporary" TWRP.
I used this a couple of years ago to use TWRP to make a backup of STOCK Kitkat image. I was booted into TWRP but TWRP was not installed on the phone. The phone was still pure stock, so I could easily make a backup image.
Then I rooted the phone! And made another backup image. It was rooted stock, still with no TWRP installed.
And then last I actually installed TWRP, was rooted and made a backup of that. And posted all those images for people to use. But a lot of people forget that you can BOOT TO TWRP even if TWRP is not installed on the phone. And that "temporary" TWRP (one session) will still allow you to do anything you want.
It's a useful trick to know!

Cannot Flash any ROM from TWRP

I can boot my Moto E5 Play into recovery mode and get the TWRP menu. I click "Install" and choose a ROM which I adb pushed to my sdcard. The ROM appears to be flashed, but the phone does not re-boot. It stops on a blank black screen.I can only reboot into recovery and see the TWRP menu again. If I chose "Reboot System", I get a blank screen.
I have tried flashing the following ROMS with the same result:
lineage-17.1-20200715-UNOFFICIAL-RMX1931.zip
lineage-16.0-20200613-UNOFFICIAL-hannah.zip

Just wondering if you have unlocked the bootloader before trying to flash? Also I believe you need to decrypt the phone first as well.
Hello, I am facing a similar issue on a XT1944-3, the bootloader is unlocked and the only TWRP that installed and worked correctly for was from this thread TWRP (which does not support 64bit ROMS), I tried other for Hannah and James but fail to flash, with ADB and TWRP.
