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.

I'm aware of that. I still have the stock Recovery.

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

Can't boot into recovery.

Hello,
So I have a P7 at B126. I tried rooting it with kingroot and tried to install TWRP. I got to the part where you have to use fastboot to flash the img and it fails so I gave up. Now I am trying to get into recovery and I can't. It just either goes to a black screen or a Boot failed screen.
Thanks in advance

Hi, I'm a little confused right now. Explain what you did so far a bit more detailed, so we could help you.. Which instruction were you are following? What was the exact error? Is your bootloader unlocked? Can you boot normally?

I can boot normally.
What I did was this.
I followed the guide to root my phone. Rooted it and then tried to install the TWRP custom recovery. It failed at the installing the recovery for some permission error. So I stopped trying to install it. Now I apparently don't have a recovery at all.
I also installed some root apps like SetCPU, Xposed(Which didn't work), SuperSU(Which didn't Work)
If I try to adb reboot recovery it just takes me to the boot failed screen with the android logo on it. If I try using the Power + Down button it just shows me the huawei ascent P7 screen and just go black.
Also when I go to the fastboot/rescure mode it says my bootloader is unlocked.
Thanks for the reply.

Ah okay. So, boot into the fastboot mode, put the recovery.img in the adb folder on your pc, run cmd and type 'cd c://..' (location of adb folder), then 'fastboot flash recovery [name of recovery.img]' (for example 'fastboot flash recovery recovery_twrp.img'). Now you should get a working recovery.
Are you sure you really got root access? Eventually due to this you got the permission error..

I do because adb has admin permissions but fastboot doesn't. I tried that with trying to flash twrp on my p7 but i get a failed error after like a second I the command. So I tried flashing a stock recovery and it throws the same error in fastboot.
When I type fastboot devices I get this
? fastboot
No id for my phone but adb sees it.

Ok, your pc does obviously not recognize the p7 in fastboot mode. Did you install the Hi Suite? Through this way you should get the correct drivers (maybe even update/reinstall). If this does not help, I think I can't help you, sorry. You may wait for more help or google what do when the device isn't recognized in fastboot.
Just flash the newest SuperSU.zip when you got a recovery.. That should fix problems with root apps/ the su binary.
Offtopic: I'm not sure if you noticed, but, you're running a pretty old firmware.. You may think about updating

Hi Suite installed and correct drivers are loaded(I hope) and yes thats why Im trying to get this fixed because it wont even let me update firmwares

Try on another pc.. You could also try flashify (look in Google play), but in case of a softbrick you have real problem. Do this on your own risk, most times nothing bad will happen, but it could!
I would recommend to flash the stock recovery, update up to B621 and then installing a custom recovery.

Hi mate.
1. Use your pc, Go shuame.com and download "rom flash program".
2. Enter fastboot&rescue mode and connect your phone and PC
3. The program will recognize your phone.
4. Download anyrom and flash by the program.
The process will not complete but you will have Shuame recovery.
But my case it didn't work properly
5. I downloaded CWM from here "pan.baidu.com/s/1dDq0qcT" password :bttc
Start this program with connect your phone and press nomber 1 and ENTER.
I don't exactly remember my phone was on fastboot & rescue mode or recovery mode.
But I could get recovery and did rom flash so it was fixed.
*****from: Godfrey Peligrino ---sorry i dont know how to post BUT, this guide helped me with my p7 L10 B619..just connect it to pc and let it boot over and over and when pc acknowledge you phone..click rom and just wait if not do it again..hope this will help you too..the writings is on chinese so just copy the english thumbnails before you proceed to download...(QUOTE) THANKS TO THE GUY WHO POST THIS....HE IS TOMODACHI5..

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.

How to solve custom recovery not installed after flash on all smartphones[Tutorial]

Hello . A few minutes ago, I had a problem with the TWRP flashing on my huawei p8 gra-ul00 phone .the adb has command's the twrp is complety flashed on my phone , but it did not come up on my phone(after pressing vol+ and power button's the phone will automatiocally go to huawei erecovery). But I took a little initiative and came up with a solution to this problem. I'm share this.
NOTICE : IF YOU HAVEN'T A USB DATA CABLE , PLEASE BUY IT , OTHERWISE CONTINUING THE STEPS WILL NOT SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM .
Before completing all the steps, connect the phone to the computer using data usb cable, then try to enter the recovery mode (for Huawei phones, hold the power button simultaneously with the volume down button for at least one minute.) If the phone Entered custom recovery, no need to do other steps.
1_First Of All , Unlock the bootloader , then reboot the phone
2_Download the custom recovery . IF YOU HAVE ISN'T A CUSTOM RECOVERY FOR YOUR PHONE , PLEASE SEND A COMMENT AND ENTER YOU PHONE MODEL AND A NAME OF THE CUSTOM RECOVERY YOU WANT TO USE TO IT. IM WILL SEND A REGUESTED CUSTOM RECOVERY FOR YOU IN LESS THAN A HOUR .
3_connect the phone to computer and Enable USB Debugging from Developer Options(go to settings>about phone , then 7 times tap on build number , then go back to settings and select developer options , search for "USB Debugging" Option and enable it.)
4_, install the adb and fastboot drivers(such as minimal adb and fastboot) then install the phone drivers . after installing drivers , reboot the computer , then open cmd and enter the command : adb reboot recovery
5_if a window showed on phone(such as allow usb debugging) , click on yes and retry the level 4 again
If you have any questions or problems , commend here.

Hy Bysoft!
I'm new in XDA but i alredy flash some devices with TWRP, it seems that something went wrong with the installation of twrp. Did you try to boot into bootloader (adb reboot bootloader) and then flash the TWRP image with fastboot (fastboot flash recovery twrp.img) and then type fastboot reboot?
I find that list of command: adb reboot etc.. in your device page of TWRP (https://twrp.me/huawei/huaweip8.html). In this site you find the TWRP image for your device, you have to use this image when you flash with fastboot (fastboot flash recovery twrp.img where twrp.img is the image that you downloaded in TWRP site).
