Updated clean to 4.3 with s-off, everytime I try to flash twrp from the bootloader it says
target reported max download size of 1526722560 bytes
sending 'recovery' (8432 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.108s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 1.139s
after that, I tried to unlock the bootloader with a new unlock code and it gives me the same error.
am I missing something obvious?
nvm, was just a lot more convoluted to figure out this time than in the past.
I can't flash anything anymore. Just says "bad" & aborts. I'm on latest firmware 3.22 hboot 1.55 cid-11111111 s-off Insertcoin 3.4-3. Tried different recoveries as well.

I rooted my phone a when I first got it from Verizon with pwnmoto. Once the camera update came out I thought I flashed recovery because I was able to update OTA perfectly fine. Now I cant update to 4.4. So I used fastboot to try to flash stock recovery and this keeps happening:
colins-air:Android Tools colinj22$ ./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(bootloader) Variable not supported!
target reported max download size of 805306368 bytes
sending 'recovery' (10240 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.798s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 1.848s
colins-air:Android Tools colinj22$
I cant figure it out! I have taken out that line in the text document but nothing.
PLEASE I BEG OF SOME HELP!
Thank you!
Best help I can offer is to change your title. It's very misleading and probably why everyone is ignoring it. TBH I only came in here to laugh at the people trolling you but the fact that's it's empty is just sad. The title you have looks like you posted in completely wrong forums

I have tried everything I have read on here and I cant seem to flash recovery. I used pwnmymoto to gain root when I first received my moto x. When the camera update came I thought I unrooted and flashed back to stock becasue I was able to get the OTA. Yesterday I could not install the OTA 4.4 because it gave me a error sign. I tried to flash recovery using fastboot but everytime now matter what I do this shows up:
colins-air:Android Tools colinj22$ ./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(bootloader) Variable not supported!

Can someone please help me. I am fairly new to fastboot and I am on a Mac and I have read everything in these threads and nothing seems to help. Can I erase everything and somehow start from scratch?
Thank you all!

try using a different fastboot besides the one you are using. also make sure you are trying to flash the right FW version. you can't downgrade FW so it needs to be the FW version that is currently on the device.
try the second link in the OP of this thread for a different fastboot

Flashing recovery requires a unlocked boot loader, you're obviously on Verizon and unless you have a DE moto you can't flash recovery due to your boot loader being locked

Hello Guys im attempting to install TWRP 3.0.2 on my Moto X 2nd Gen 2014 with Android 6.0 Official but im getting an error in my command prompt. I have already attempt to request and an unlock code for unlocking the bootloader but motorolas site state my phone is not authorize for unlocking it. Does my phone need to have boot loader unlocked to be able to follow this step? Im pretty much attempting to install this recover to be able to root following this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/root-root-moto-x-2014-android-t3249105

Yes, the bootloader needs to be unlocked to install a custom recovery (which is stated prior to the first step in the thread you mentioned). At one time there was an"unofficial" bootloader unlock that you might look into.
Hi all...I am looking for this amazon firmware for the xt1900-1. I have a corrupted phone and the bootloader can not be unlocked, my only choice afaik is to fastboot with the identical or newer firmware, and I have been unable to find either. Thanks in advance!
