Are you using the right version of TWRP? I'm not accusing you, just wondering as I've never seen this before.

Was the phone rooted before?
Also after you flash in ODIN is the phone rebooting to recovery?
If the flash is successful your phone should reboot right back into recovery. If it is not doing that then you are flashing the wrong file. In ODIN you need to use the .tar file, but the img file.
Also if you are downloading it from the TWRP website you need to extract the file from the zip. Do not flash the zip. The tar file is inside the zip.

After an ODIN flash of TWRP the phone should reboot to TWRP not to the firmware/rom.
You must have a bad download somewhere or you are using the wrong file.
The only other reason would be a locked bootloader, but the 910T comes unlocked.
Uncheck auto-reboot in odin, then pull the battery and boot into recovery after flashing.

Did he flash GB bootloaders as mentioned in instructions?
If he has ROM running I see no reason why he cant enter recovery mode. Tell him to try entering recovery mode using button combo
Not sure about bootloaders. His phone is working he just cant get to rec.mode?? The 3 button method does not work either. Is there a way to do a hard reset?

Any fix well require odin since recovery is unavailable.
He can either flash back to stock, or download bootlloaders and upgrade those. either way, odin.

Do you have to clear data and cache before installing? I remember bootlooping old phones because of that.

no need to wipe says instructions. i didnt and ive flashed both w/ no problems. also, u need to be on 890 for it to work
Calendar seems to be missing...can anyone confirm this, and how do we get this back?
Waited over an hour. I was on 890.. not sure what I did wrong. Maybe I had a faulty 890? Say it didn't flash 890 and I was on stock, where would that put me? Phone is still bootlooping.. when it first turns on, shows motorola symbol with dual core, is on for a few seconds then flashes back to black, you know like before the boot ani. The pulls up same screen.. any way to get back to stock?
Btw- thank you for responding so quickly.

Are you using hashcodes recovery or koush's?
If you're using hashcodes just restore a nandroid by booting into bp tools.
If you're using koush's then you're probably gonna have to rsd flash the xml. You could probably moto-fastboot just the system partition and be fine

Yeah sounds like your /system is pretty botched up. If you just usd rsd lite and flash the xml/sbf and then re-root then install either recovery(I recommend koush's going forward cause of roms) koush's will restore nandroid backups made on hashcodes recovery.
*if your nandroid is on your internal memory you're gonna have to copy it over to your actually sdcard.
Hopefully you made a nandroid haha

Power down. Press the 'm' button on the keyboard. While keeping it pressed it, power the phone up. You'll get a menu wiith bptools and ap fastboot, etc. Volume down navigates, volume up selescts. Go to ap fastboot. Then plug your d3 into your computer and let the drivers instal automatically, then click show devices in rsd and it should be there

Hello.
My friend has a brother with 7 years, and his brother blocked his phone, and now He doesn't know what is the password.
He has root and fastboot, but when I try to install recovery I can't.
I use the CMD (fastboot) (cellphone in fastboot mode)
fastboot flash recovery cwm.img
but failed
It showed this message : invalid inage size for partition recovery.
Please, what do I need to do ?
I'm helping him.
So I guess you're trying to wipe data, right?

Yes, I want to do wipe data/factory, but I'm unsuccessfully.
When I needed to use "fastboot/cmd" with my xt925 I was unsuccessfully too ...
Then I use a client "v8 flasher recovery", but it is other history xD
I don't understand Why "fastboot/cmd" never work with me.

I tryed with twrp and cwm.
Will be that something is missing ?
When I flashed CWM for the first time I had bricked my phone,re flashed it with RSD (I guess you are bootloader unlocked), downloaded the proper fastboot files for it and then flashed CWM with the same command as you, so I don't know anything that could be impending you from installing it.

Is there a proper way to install roms? Okay let me refrase that... I dont think ive flash twrp correctly because whenever i install a custom rom it doesnt boot. Ive wiped and full wipe before flashing and even tried flashing from internal sd to ext sd with no avail.*
I flashed twrp through Flashify.
I'm so excited we have root now! Im so thankful for you guys that put your time and effort for us!
Thanks devs!

Sent from my LG-H811 using XDA Free mobile app
not sure how you tried to install TWRP, but make sure you hit "recovery image" to flash TWRP and not "boot image" on flashify.
hope this helps.
I reflashed the recovery and the same result...
I tried flashing the same custom ROM twice in a row and went back to the main menu of the recovery then power off. i turned it back on and it booted into the ROM.
so i tried a different ROM the same way and its not working again...
I have no idea whats going on here. this is so weird
looks like the stock rooted rom is the only one the flashes flawlessly
Redownload the twrp file and flash it through flashify also are you just flashing the ROM and not doing wipes

Did you check md5 of the rom that keeps failing? Sounds like a bad download.
