Unlocked Bootloader Flashed TWRP But It is Not Booting Into Recovery

Hi!
I have a Verizon Dev Ed running 4.4 with an unlocked bootloader. I want to root using TWRP 2.6.3.1 and SuperSU. I can flash TWRP using mfastboot and then reboot into the bootloader, but when I try to reboot into recovery, it just does a normal boot. I followed the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2534850
and used twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img.
I have a Windows 7 PC. I tried to use adb to boot into recovery but adb doesn't seem to recognize my device when it is in bootloader mode. I suspect it is a driver problem, but I downloaded the most recent drivers from Motorola and that doesn't seem to help.
I have seen other people with this problem, too but none of the solutions that worked for others worked for me.
Help!!!! I need root!
Thanks!!!!

If you press the power button after flashing TWRP, it will do a normal reboot and TWRP will not be installed. Try installing TWRP again and go to select recovery by pressing the "Volume Down" button to highlight "Recovery" and then press the "Volume Up" button to select recovery.
I also followed this youtube video that helped me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw675ipX-ds

Thank you! I was hitting volume down and then power to try to reboot into recovery!

Bootloader unlocked but Recovery wont flash?

I have traied a few different recoveryies and fastboot and mfastboot, but I can not get any recovery to ACTUALLY flash to the phone.
It is a XT1053 running 4.4.4. Even when everything says it flashed fine, the recovery is still not there when i try to boot into it.
Any ideas?

Use the Vol+ button to select recovery, not power.

What @nhizzat has said, is the most common mistake.
Beyond that, you don't mention if your bootloader is unlocked or not. I'm guessing it is, otherwise you should get some kind of error from fastboot/mfastboot on your PC.
One other thing that some have run into is... after flashing a recovery, having to reboot into bootloader before trying to enter recovery.... For example...
Start the phone in Fastboot/BootLoader mode and connect it to your PC.
open command prompt file and change to the folder your recovery IMG file resides in.
type the following, pressing enter after each command, and wait for it to finish before going onto the next...
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot reboot-bootloader
Note: the recovery could be twrp.img, cwm.img, etc.
The device will reboot then display different BOOT OPTIONS
Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL to Recovery and VOL UP Key to select it.

My thread title says its Unlocked, I will try rebooting to the bootloader first then trying recovery. I did not try that. I have been rebooting to the OS then rebooting to Recovery,

that is your issue right there after you flash a custom recovery you need to boot into the recovery before letting your phones boot into the OS.
if your phone boots into the OS then the recovery will not stick and you will be back on the stock recovery.
so
1.boot into bootloader
2.flash Custom recovery of your choice
3. make sure the phone does not boot into OS it can reboot back into bootloader and it can reboot into recovery with no issues but if it boots into the Phone OS then you will be back on stock recovery.
hope this helps enjoy

Problems flashing TWRP on Dev Edition Moto X

I have a Dev Edition Moto X. I have recently unlocked the Bootloader. I have tried flashing TWRP recovery. Here are the commands I have used:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img​
It says it is successful, but when I when I try to go into recovery it loads into Stock recovery.
My guess is the write lock is still enabled, but I have not been able to find a way to disable the write lock when on 5.1
Any help would be awesome!

"fastboot reboot recovery" should be your last step

After I flash TWRP, I unplug the USB cable, and power it off. Then I boot back into bootloader mode and try to boot into Recovery and the phone powers off. If I boot back up into Android and run 'adb reboot recovery' it boots into stock recovery.
Thoughts?

adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then reboot into recovery.

You're doing it wrong is my thought. Use the fastboot (not adb) reboot recovery command immediately after flashing twrp. No one said anything about powering off and rebooting first.

Thanks, I was missing 'fastboot reboot-bootloader' then it worked! I know it must be something stupid simple I wasn't doing!
Thanks again!

Stock Recovery is reflashed when booting directly.
reboot-bootloader allows TWRP to patch the system not to do so.

I assume that twrp is not installed yet on your device and you've a unlocked bootloader. If that's the case go fastboot mode by turning your phone off and then pressing the power+volume down together. Then from your computer flash the latest twrp image ("fastboot flash recovery filename.img"). Then boot to recovery by pressing volume up+ power button and from the recovery flash lineage os. And don't forget to flash the required firmware before flashing lineage os.

[Help] Can't access to TWRP Recovery p9 Plus

Hi guys,
I know there are others threads about this thing but none of them helped me, I would like to install TWRP and root my phone.
I'm on a p9 Plus VIE-l09C432B386 and I want to install TWRP recovery from fastboot.
I've installed all drivers and 'adb devices' detects my phone. I unlock bootloader and FRP.
From cmd I run 'adb reboot bootloader' and 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img'.
I try with twrp-3.2.2-0-vienna.img and twrp-3.2.1-0-vienna.img and both were successfully flashed.
I type 'fastboot reboot' and hold Volume Up and Power but I can't enter on TWRP Recovery, only eRecovery. I tried with phone connected via USB at pc and with the phone disconnected.
The phone boot up and work flawlessly so I really don't know how to do.
What's wrong? I have to install an older version of TWRP? I have to run other commands or hold different combo of keys to access to recovery?
Please help me, thanx in advance

Flash twrp-3.1.1-1-vie.img.I advise you to flash it to recovery2 (not recovery) then just reboot and press vol up more then 3 secs
-fastboot flash recovery2 twrp-3.1.1-1-vie.img
-fastboot reboot

Hi, thanx for the help!
I try with your method but when the phone reboot it stuck on "your device has been unlocked and can't be touched" screen and doesn't boot up..what could be the problem?

I don't know.Try the factory reset or flash boot.img

UPDATE:
Finally I was able to install TWRP Recovery and now the phone boot up normally!
For everyone that has my same problem I install the twrp-3.1.1-1-vie.img as mrleja suggested me and I follow this guide. Maybe I was doing something wrong during the process, I don't know.
Huge thanx to @mrleja, you make my day man! Cheers!
