Download the latest TWRP.zip from here and flash it via Cyanogen Recovery.
And if that doesn't work, you can flash the TWRP.img via fastboot,
then reboot,
it will directly boot into TWRP,
then from TWRP flash the ROM.zip and TWRP.zip without wiping anything.

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?

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

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.

.236 stock LP rom with Offical Twrp

Can I use the stock rom with the offical twrp?
If I can somebody could tell me how to boot the system because If I install twrp as a Kernel image It can t boot.
in order to use Official TWRP Recovery, you should unlock your Z1 to access the Recovery partition and after that you can do it.

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.
