Why can't I go into recovery whenever I do this step to install cm11/cm12 roms? I can boot into recovery fine in stock roms using either dual recovery or stock kernel flashed from zips. My fastboot command didn't return any error.

Hi, can anyone clarify this instruction, I have just finished unlocking bootloader and about to install custom recovery:
Install the build of TWRP using your method of choice, but you must actually flash TWRP to recovery. No fastboot booting it. We need it in recovery so that this build of TWRP will be flashed to your boot. This new build of TWRP has features in it to easily restore your original boot.

The statement means you have to flash(install) the custom recovery by using a command like:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Or by using a toolkit, however you can't just boot the recovery with a command like this:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img

thanks ..that really helped
I have installed recovery with command "fastboot flash boot recovery.img" so it means, that i think, that i have two recoveries in my device. One on boot and one on recovery side. i can open other recovery that exits in recovery side but i cannot flash any kernel in boot side. whenever i flash any kernel file on boot side and reboot my device the old recovery in boot comes up. please help.
You don't have two recoveries.. You have flash wrong file in wrong partition... Just extract boot.img from the ROM you have in the phone and flash that with fastboot "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Sent from my ATRIX HD using XDA Free mobile app
Device - XT1053
Was running OctOS 6.0.1 Release Build 2
Problem is it cannot boot into OS or into TWRP. I tried flashing twrp 2.8.7.0 again but I still can't boot into twrp (I can only see teamwin bootlogo). When I try to boot into system, my device boots up to the boot.img and just freezes(Does not bootloop).
Help would be very much appreciated!
I don't know if it will work, but have you tried erasing recovery before flashing it again? Or flashing stock recovery and flashing TWRP after it?
Try "fastboot erase recovery", and then flash it again. "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Ota upgraded to 2.0, now I lost twrp. Tried to flash it in fastboot. Says it works but no matter what it goes back to stock recovery. Any help?
After you flash TWRP. Type fastboot boot XXXXX.img Where XXXXX is the name of your TWRP image.
hey people,
I just tried to flash twrp on my z3c.
however I accidentally used something along the lines of
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
instead of
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
can I easily get back to the stock boot image?
the bootloader is unlocked and I can still access fastboot..
cheers!
You can try flash a correct kernel for your device and firmware
Let's call it by "kernel.img", so use the follow command: fastboot flash boot kernel.img
Then you can flash your recovery as you wish
