Can't overwrite cyanogenmod recovery with TWRP - T-Mobile LG G4

Phone: h811
Current Rom: CM 6.0
I have successfully flashed twrp 3.0 using adb but when i reboot to recovery, i keep getting cyanogenmod recovery. Romtoolbox even says twrp is my current recovery. What's the deal? I want to make a backup using TWRP before I flash anything. How do I go back to TWRP?
Thanks!!!

Got it...I used flashify to flash the recovery and it worked. Not sure why ADB didn't flash properly...i'm sure it was user error! Thanks for the suggestion!!

[Q] Install TWRP over CWM

HEy Guys, i just wanted to Install the flashable zip of the newest TWRP over the current CWM. It said okay, but i still get the CWM Recovery. The App Rom Manager says that my current recovery is TWRP, but it isnt, i only get to CWM.
Im not into that stuff like adbfiles or fastboot mode, this is to hard for me to try.
Isnt there another option to get TWRP running?
thanks
Should not be flashing the phone if adb/ fastboot is too hard

Dude go 2 fastboot. Then flash the twrp file the same way u did when u first installed cwm after unlocking the bootloader(using command prompt). There might b a flashable zip directly, but I wud advise u use the fast boot method.
Dont flash. Use fastboot.
Put the recovery file in your SDK root on your computer and hook up your phone
Go to fastboot in bootloader
Then
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.zip
Another option is Flashify app on play store. Flash recovery with that without the adb hassle.
problem in recovery verion
hi guys..... my problem is ia install kikat 4.4 on old recovery version.and make factory reset.and now i cann't connect mobile on pc.how can i install another recovery version now...thanks to all

Flash a ROM via Fastboot

Hello,
I've got a HTC One which is having trouble. When I flash teh latest TWRP or CWM recovery it says ''Entering Recovery'' goes black screen then goes back to Entering Recovery''. But when I install the old version of TWRP it works??
Anyway... I've deleted everything via TRWP by mistake so I've no ROM installed. I'm trying to push the zip but no luck, so I'm wondering If I can flash a ROM via ''Fastboot'' instead of installing through ''Recovery''

You can't flash a rom from fastboot, only in recovery mode. The only thing you can flash in fastboot mode are RUU, Firmware and recovery.
What os the recovery version that was booting fine? What version of TWRP are you trying to install now? What rom do you want to flash? Do you have erased cache and rebooted the bootloaded after flashing the recovery?

Fresh root, recovery not booting

Finally decided to root my own device to find out that the recovery is not working when I try going into it on the bootloader mode. It is a rooted device and I've tried flashing the twrp recovery through the command prompt and also through the flashify app. It only works when I try booting in from the flashify app but doesn't work through the bootloader, when trying it through the bootloader i select the recovery and the phone turns off. Anyone have a clue of how I could try to make it work, I would appreciate any help. Thanks

Looks like a system error which can be solved only if you flash the factory image again
which command did yu use "fastboot flash recovery (twrp File name ).img
If it didn't work, flash cwm and then twrp 8.6.0. Maybe it'll work Or flash twrp img while ur in twrp itself. Or download advanced reboot if ur using stock rom.

Like flashing the full firmware? It should work, because something is wrong with ur recovery system.

I have the same problem. Flashed the stock firmware. Then flashed TWRP in fastboot, but whenever i select recovery from the fastboot menu, the phone just shuts off. Only way to get into recovery is by Flashify app too...

Can't boot to TWRP Recovery!

Today, I need to make a Nandroid backup, so I boot my phone to recovery, but it's stuck in a bootload with twrp lgo on the screen.
I tryed many ways to do that (use apps like Quickboot, ROM manager, and do it manual by press buttons ) but it's still freeze on twrp's logo screen.
But before, about a week ago, I maked a Nandroid backup and success without any errors.
My TWRP version is 3.00-0
Can you help to fix that? Pls
Tks for read.
I tryed to reinstall twrp by commands:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
and I get an error:
Code:
mismatched partition size
after the second command.
And still no luck :crying:
Tryed to update to newer twrp's vesion but still no luck. :crying:
Flash the 2.8.7.1. But before you do, flash the stock recovery img then flash TWRP 2.8.7.1 instead of the latest TWRP 3.0 . It bugs on our lil' Victara. Good luck hehe

You can find the IMG file in the Moto X 2014 lollipop/marshmallow firmware zips available on Mega. Be vary, you need to know exactly what device model you are using(mine is XT1092).
Also I just tried flashing Cyanogen recovery and then flashed TWRP 2.8.7.1 It worked too. I had the same problem day before yesterday with TWRP 3.0.

How to disable stock recovery

Hey guys,
I`m using x526. The other day I rooted the device with TWRP and flashed AOSP extended. But now I can`t seem to enter into TWRP. When I try to enter the recovery mode using the hard keys, it loads into the stock recovery. Even when using the option to boot into recovery in the AOSP extended restart option, it still boots into the stock recovery.So is there any way to remove/disable the stock recovery.Or even any other methods to enter TWRP?. I flashed the latest twrp (3.1.1) from the official site via ADB. Also AEX was pre-rooted with magisk

Twrp is already there, I can't just access it due to stock recovery. I flashed twrp twice and can enter the twrp just after flashing. If I exit twrp I can't access it again unless I reflash it

When you flash a new recovery the old one will be replaced. If you used the code fastboot boot recovery recovery.img the phone just boots to the recovery and not flash it. So please use the code fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
