Hi,
I'm new to installing a custom ROM, so please be gentle.
What I've done so far: Enable developer mode, flashing is unlocked.
When I do fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img I get:
(bootloader) is-logical:recovery: not found
Sending 'recovery' (16356 KB) OKAY [ 0.637s]
Writing 'recovery' (bootloader) Image not signed
or corrupt
OKAY [ 0.145s]
When I then go into Recovery mode I get the "failed to load kernel" message.
I'd be grateful if someone could guide me through the steps to install ArrowOS.
Thanks.

Boot into recovery mode and tell me if you have the flashing_unlocked message on the bottom.
Image not signed or corrupt appear when bootloader is locked, maybe it's still locked?
Hi,
thanks for your reply.
I have it solved meanwhile. I started from scratch again, first installing stock ROM following this method, bootloader was still unlocked, then installing TWRP and ArrowOS image again, this time it worked.

I have tried everything I have read on here and I cant seem to flash recovery. I used pwnmymoto to gain root when I first received my moto x. When the camera update came I thought I unrooted and flashed back to stock becasue I was able to get the OTA. Yesterday I could not install the OTA 4.4 because it gave me a error sign. I tried to flash recovery using fastboot but everytime now matter what I do this shows up:
colins-air:Android Tools colinj22$ ./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(bootloader) Variable not supported!
target reported max download size of 805306368 bytes
sending 'recovery' (10240 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.798s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 1.848s
colins-air:Android Tools colinj22$
Can someone please help me. I am fairly new to fastboot and I am on a Mac and I have read everything in these threads and nothing seems to help. Can I erase everything and somehow start from scratch?
Thank you all!

try using a different fastboot besides the one you are using. also make sure you are trying to flash the right FW version. you can't downgrade FW so it needs to be the FW version that is currently on the device.
try the second link in the OP of this thread for a different fastboot

Flashing recovery requires a unlocked boot loader, you're obviously on Verizon and unless you have a DE moto you can't flash recovery due to your boot loader being locked

I've got a moto x '14 verizon XT1096. Tried to use fastboot to load twrp to eventually get to install Cm13. However, it threw this message:

Dumbass me thought it would be a good idea to unplug the device and simply try again. Well, what a bad decision. The phone now flashes the "no command" robot on it's back. yes, flashes. i can get back to fastboot, but after this i'm not sure what to do.
Thanks in advance. I'm fairly new at this, be easy on me.
Try this. This is my mini guide I wrote in another thread.
Well, at first I tried to flash twrp through fastboot but the original recovery override the twrp recovery.
So, what I did, instead of flashing, I just temporary booted into twrp.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp.img (and not fastboot flash recovery twrp.img)
Then phone booted into twrp, I flash supersu 2.46.
Then I easily downloaded twrp manager from google play and installed twrp recovery to my xt1096.
Have fun

Yes, the bootloader needs to be unlocked to install a custom recovery (which is stated prior to the first step in the thread you mentioned). At one time there was an"unofficial" bootloader unlock that you might look into.
Hello,
I can not flash a recovery on my P9 (EVA L09C432B399) to be able to root my P9. It is under 5.0.1 and android 7.
I tried a lot of TWRP.
Thank you for your help
Did you unlock bootloader, before trying to install twrp recovery ?
Yes it's unlock

It must be TWRP for EMUI 5.01
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/twrp-t3565703
There is an enhanced version here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rom-huawei-p9-magicrainbow-v4-t3759292
Btw, Fastboot reporting error or what is exactly the problem?

thank you, the 2 links recovery do not work on my P9.
So I unlocked the bootloader.
I do :
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery "the name of recovery.img"
as soon as i get the message okay, i reboot on the recovery and i still have the recovery stock installed.
The message after validating :

sending 'recovery' (25254 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.823s]

i tried it but still got the same error message on the phone:
Code:

In case this is still relavant to somebody:
I ran into the same issue while installing lineage recovery (prior to installing lineage os) on two units recently. I ignored the message and everything worked well from that point on.
After flashing recovery, do not reboot device. Select recovery from menu. The custom recovery you installed will show up. Install custom ROM from there.
This solution actually worked great! Thank you @morgessa!
Ignoring the message and navigating directly to Recovery was the solution!
