Just used NRT to flash the nougat factory image downloaded from image website. Everything worked great, phone is up and running. tried using NRT to flash just TWRP without root or anything else and it completes and I'm able to get into it once its done (sitting in fastboot, up to recovery, power button to enter). once I boot into android I power off and hold Vdown and power and get fastboot, go to recovery, press power, phone reboots and gives me android guy with red triangle... any idea what is going on?

I've read a lot of threads recently that say TWRP won't stick unless you root your phone. I've always rooted my phone after installing TWRP so I can't verify that this is true, but again, a lot of threads are saying that it's so.

you need to delete a recovery-from-boot file in system. or itll keep getting rid of twrp after a reboot.

This is assuming you are running a modified boot.img (unencrypted, etc), no?
yes the recovery from boot file. If you allow TWRP to write system partition it will rename this file to .bak.

Nice, a clear explanation that explains why so many dont have this issue. Like me. When I flash recovery I boot TWRP and delete a few keyboards... so yea I have mounted system writable.
I had the same issue. flashed TWRP several times, never could boot into recovery. rooting worked fine though. I went ahead and installed the TWRP installer/updater from the Google Play store and installed it from there. worked like a charm....

Like an idiot I wiped my System inside TWRP. Using TWRP 2.6.0.2
Earlier tonight my phone starting rebooting. I was inside GooManager and tapped reboot to recovery. When I did that, for some reason my phone lost root. Meaning when I went to reboot inside TWRP it stated that it looks as if my phone is not rooted. I rebooted anyway without installing SuperSU through TWRP. I was already rooted. Afterwards, it would boot up fine but kept constantly rebooting only after a minute or two.
I went back into TWRP and clicked through dalvik wipe and cache wipe. Still got reboots. I was planning on flashing CyanogenMod anyways so I thought I'd go on and wipe everything. I went in to advance wipe and check everything. As I swiped the slider to wipe I realized I checked System too, but it was too late.
Now my phone won't boot past the HTC logo with the red text underneath. I can boot into TWRP however so I hope all is not lost. I am currently at work so I have no way to try anything on the phone at the moment but was hoping for some advice on what to try later when I get home.
I'm thinking maybe I'll be able to use the "Mount" tab in TWRP to load a ROM on and flash and everything will be well again. Would I mistaken to think that? If not, I'll purchase an USB OTG cable and use a USB stick but I really need this up an running as quickly as possible.
Also, does anyone think it would be best just to go back to stock at this point (if I can) and start from scratch?
Much thanks for your help and advice,

So, oddly enough I did the same thing, How I managed to recover it so you can adb sideload a rom from TWRP and have access to a "working" phone again was to find your stock recovery.img, then flash it via fastboot, and then from the hboot menu, choose factory reset and let the stock recovery do it's thing, then reflash TWRP (I honestly like CWM doe) and adb sideload a rom (presumably what you were using before). It SHOULD fix your problem and you'll be able to mount files again.

By stock recovery.img you mean a stock HTC image? - or do you mean a recovery like TWRP or CWM?

K. Thanks. I have a feeling this is going to be a bit more complicated than I first thought...
I followed what you suggested and got the phone back up and working. Thanks again.
Not really sure what I'm doing wrong. Last rooted phone was a Nexus 5, and that was of course painless to root and flash ROMs to...
I'm using a Verizon XT1096 with 5.1 on T-Mobile.
So I was able to get the bootloader unlocked via Motorola's website, now that Verizon is allowing them to do so. No problems there. My problem now is that I can flash a recovery, but if it reboots, the recovery is gone. And I can't get any recoveries to flash anything. I can't push an apk, root zip, or even a ROM. Says Installation Aborted, with no other error codes. Even tried CWM and disabling Signature Checking, which gives me more info, saying that the footer is mismatched. Phone does say the bootloader is unlocked though so that shouldn't be it...
Honestly, I'd just like to get it on CM12 until I can get a Nexus 6P.. Can anyone tell me if I'm doing something wrong? Or is there just no way to root yet? I figured even the XT1095 CF-Auto-Root method would work for 5.1, but no dice..
Not sure what to do here. Please move my thread if need be. Don't post here much...
I followed the instructions on the TWRP website (link below) and it worked flawlessly. One thing you have to do is, after running the "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" command, make sure to manually scroll on the phone and reboot into recovery. Hope that helps...
https://twrp.me/devices/motorolamotox2014.html
There is a partition mismatch. So do this. Download supersu and place it in the phones memory. Boot to fastboot mode and then fastboot boot recovery.img rather than fastboot flash recovery.img. You will boot to twrp, install SuperSU then download twrp from the playstore and install thru the app. It works, that's how I did it. Also when booting to recovery from the fastboot menu choose recovery with the vol up key rather than power button.

I thought I tried that but maybe not. I've read that some stock ROMs can and will overwrite the recovery upon booting, but I could be wrong. I'll look at that when I get home tonight.

Thank you, I'll try this tonight when I get home. This may solve it. I think I remember the bootloader spitting something out about a partition mismatch.. Will report back as soon as I try it.
So I went ahead and tried both your guys' methods.
Oraixearl, I figured your solution would work, but it actually didn't, to my surprise. It returned no results, as the root zip didn't end up doing anything.
RepeatUntilTheEnd's solution worked here. I guess I didn't try rebooting the phone after flashing the recovery, before going into it..
So here's what I did.
1.) Boot into bootloader
2.) Fastboot flash recovery [recovery.img]
3.) adb reboot bootloader
4.) Used keys on phone to go into recovery,
5.) Flashed root.zip
6.) Booted into OS, and ran root checker. Worked.
7.) To my surprise, TWRP stuck around, too.
Thank you guys!

Strange as it worked for me. I'm glad you got it sorted out tho. Cheers.
I have been having an issue flashing TWRP. I have previously had TWRP on my Nexus 6, but I recently flashed the latest security update, and now for the life of me, I cannot get TWRP to flash.
I run fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-shamu.img, it says it ran OKAY, I reboot the phone, then use ADB reboot recovery but it always comes back to the stock recovery. I have done this a hundred times, and never had an issue. Anyone else seen this?

boot up first, remove some system apps to clear up some space, then flash again with fastboot.

I can't remove any system apps. I need to have root first, and I need TWRP to install root. Besides, TWRP goes on the recovery partition not the system partition.

yes. I think I figured out a way around it. my mistake was rebooting. Instead of rebooting from the bootloader, I just went to recovery mode directly from there and TWRP booted right up.

I think you have to rename stock recovery files or when you reboot it will reinstall stock recovery.

that is true, if the op is running stock android. or you can just delete that one file in /system/.
I have tried a number of times to install TWRP (unrooted) on my Nexus 6. I am following the instructions from here
https://twrp.me/devices/motorolanexus6.html
I am noting the warnings here
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.
Once I issue the fastboot reboot command before the Nexus 6 shows anything on the display I press power and vol down and get into TWRP. It seems to what it's supposed to do (presumably patch the stock ROM) and then I reboot to Android.
But the next time I boot to recovery I end up with stock recovery again. I have tried this a number of times and while I can get TWRP installed it always reverts to stock recovery after the next restart.
Is there something else I have missed here in the instructions? They seem fairly clear.
Not that I think it matters but I am running 7.1.1 (flashed with the OTA image since I was not getting OTA updates)
Thanks
Instead of using the fastboot command to reboot to recovery after you have flashed TWRP do it manually. Been a while but I believe that should work.
Dont use the fastboot reboot command, use the volume keys to enter twrp recovery after flashing twrp in fastboot mode
Once you are in twrp swipe to allow changes and if needed change twrp settings, after that reboot into rom.

I have done that several times. This is the screen I see when TWRP is loading for the first time.
Not sure if those red messages are fatal or not
When I am in TWRP I can reboot to recovery and it gets back to TWRP but if I reboot to system and then try to enter TWRP on a reboot (holding power and volume up/down it boots into the Fastboot and when I choose Recovery mode I send up with stock recovery again.
Am running 7.1.1 myself and flashed the latest TWRP 3.1.1-0
Were did you download the twrp img from? I download mine from https://dl.twrp.me/shamu/ Once i downloaaded it i rename it to recovery.img
I use cmd on laptop andhook up the phone, then run adb reboot bootloader followed by fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, then i use the volume keys to get into twrp, swipe to allow changes and make changes to settings. Then reboot into rom.

That is pretty much what I have been doing. The only difference is, the first time I did this (before I realised it wasn't working), I rebooted from adb and I did see the swipe to allow changes. But since then if I boot from abd or boot from the bootloader, I don't see the TWRP option to swipe to allow changes anymore.
I wonder if it's because the data is encrypted (standard on a N6?)
I checked the box to not show the swipe to allow modification. I have never decrypted my phone and twrp sticks. So not sure why yours isnt sticking.

Well the first time I did it I saw that message about allow modification and I agreed. Never seen it again.
The point of installing TWRP was to install a custom ROM. I wonder if I load the ROM image into the phone first, install TWRP and get into the first time, which I can, then install the ROM would that work?

After using fastboot to flash TWRP, use the volume and power buttons to boot into TWRP, and allow modifications, then make a backup and reboot system. Go back to recovery and if all is well, then flash your ROM. Make sure you've got your TWRP issue fixed first though.
The same thing keeps happening to me. I can't seem to make twrp stick. I'd really appreciate some help.
Depending on what your doing, typically you have to manually boot into recovery after flashing twrp (from fastboot), don't use fastboot reboot xxxx. Use the power/volume key combo to reboot. Then accept either system modification or flash a systemless root solution. This will enable custom recovery to "stick". Otherwise, stock android will overwrite recovery on boot.
The TWRP thread has discussions about this. Starting at post 1044 should help.

Is your device encrypted before you flash TWRP?
Yes it is encrypted.
Anyway, I tried all the various methods and combinations but ended up going back to stock recovery. What worked was flashing SU after TWRP.
I'm running pure nexus now and enjoying it.
Hi,
I'm having a bit of trouble. I had a brand new Redmi 4X, and I was advised to install TWRP, root it, and install the Xiaomi.eu rom until LineageOS is released. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP, managed to get into it once and now I can't do it again. When TWRP loaded it asked me for a password for decryption but it let me just skip it it seems (not sure if that is the problem) but now I can't boot normally, I can't boot into recovery, but fastboot seems to work okay. How do I go about fixing this?
I've tried reflashing TWRP but I still can't get to it, and I don't really know enough about this stuff to know where I've gone wrong.
UPDATE - I think this is to do with dm-verity and having the stock kernel installed. Now it's too late to undo what I've already done, so I hope to god that someone knows how to fix this.
UPDATE - Right, the problem is solved I think. I had to do an awful lot of googling, and I'm not entirely sure what it was specifically that fixed it. But I found a guide that taught me the fastboot command "fastboot boot twrp.img" which saved the day. Even when my phone wouldn't let me into recovery, it allowed me to flash a no-verity.zip which i think is what allowed me to boot, and it allowed me to flash superSU.zip and then the ROM I was aiming for. And now I've booted into the ROM successfully and hopefully I am rooted and all is well. Plus I can access TWRP as normal now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Can you boot into TWRP by pressing the buttons so that you boot directly to TWRP??
Have you tried Command Prompt to boot with commands in to recovery??
And if you get into TWRP you should have everything on the SDCard and then just
format all things except SDCard and then flash from SDCard everything
That is what I would try..and yes it ask for a password but just skip it to get to it
If you can get into TWRP to flash from SDCard then you good to go..if not
Google all the commands for CMD..and plug your phone to the PC and flash everything with the
commands.....
Let us know what is working and what not and what steps exectly you are doing
EDIT
Turn off your device > Press and hold “Power” and “Volume +” buttons at the same time.
After short vibration signal release the power button and wait for TWRP to start.
To boot in stock recovery open “Update” app.
In the setting select “Boot in recovery”.

Thanks for the reply. I can't get into TWRP. Even if I could get into TWRP how would I get files on the phone to flash them?
Is it possible to flash any rom from the pc directly and if it is will this possibly help? I think it's not booting because the kernel is still stock.
I'm not sure what you mean in the edit, how do I boot into stock recovery without being able to boot the phone (and when I have already flashed TWRP)?

Hii
I just have been reading about this bootloop
Go over here and read all of the 6 pages..will not take much time but could help you out much
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-4x/development/official-twrp-3-2-1-0-xiaomi-redmi-4x-t3718217
Hey, I have exactly the same problem. Latest stock rom, flashed twrp in fastboot and got into the boot loop. Nothing works. I can only enter fastboot. What exactly did you do then? What is this no-verity.zip? I can't find anything about it.
I had a problem
I unlocked bootloader then installed redwolf recovery and took a nandroid backup. After that i rebooted to system but stuck into bootloop, could not boot to recovery, could not boot into system, So the only thing worked was that i flashed fastboot rom with mi flasher. And syccessfully rebooted to system with bootloader locked and stock recovery. So, if anyone have same problem you can do the same. How do i install recovery safely again? Should i use TWRP only? Should i flash v3.1.0 with lazy flasher or v3.2 directly without lazy flasher? I don't want to stuck into bootloader again, have to get all data deleted.
