Hi all. Before i start i want to say, i read a lot of threaths and comments before i started to booting recovery and i followed Tutorial that you can find somewhere here on XDA for MotoE.
I unlocked Bootloader correctly and everything was right. Then i downloaded latest version of TWRP and CWM if something will be wrong.
So i booted into bootloader, connected to PC (windows 8.1) and using adb i installed TWRP (by command window). After instalation was complete, i used comand: "fastboot reboot" to get my mobile start normally. Everything worked fine so i started last step. Turned off mobile, booted into bootloader(or maybe fastboot? idk...) and by volumebuttons i choosed "Recovery" . Then a black screen for a minute. After that mobile stuck on screen that i attached down below. So i tried this but with CWM (same process way). But nothing new... Someone said me i had to try "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" but again, nothing happend.
Can you help me guys?
The recovery isn't installed! Reinstall the recovery and follow correct steps!
I tried it one more time. I´m attaching image that is from command window showing that .img was booted ... Strange is, immediately after booting was completed, mobile restarted... and after i turned off mobile again, still i can´t reach recovery. Isn´t that problem in .img file? maybe it´s broken, isn´t it?
Tried once again
Ok last try didnt worked. So i complettly followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/general/guide-one-moto-e-beginners-guide-t2807891 STEP-BY STEP!
Command window screen attached, Fastboot screen attached.
After reboot, turn off i tried to open recovery and again that image that i posted in first coment. (android figure with words: no command)
By that guide i downloaded recovery from here: https://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/condor/
and i downloaded just "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-condor.img" as i have to do it (written in guide)
Well, your recovery is flashing fine from cmd but its not detected by your phone.
Try re-downloading the recovery and check md5 before flashing.
I'll look into it and see if the issue can be pinpointed.
Btw, you might need the flash the stock ROM back if nothing works.

Okay try this.
Flash CWM
If flashing fails or you get any error, then try booting into recovery.
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
If you boot into recovery, flash the SuperSU package.
Reboot and then flash the recovery.
See if it works.

Do not flash CWM, just boot into it by the command I posted above.
Then try and flash SuperSU, (if you get a root prompt from CWM, select NO.)
Reboot device.
Then again boot into fastboot and now flash recovery (twrp).

I said if flash is not successful, then boot into it. So you can't boot into recovery either.
Here's last resort, extract the stock recovery from stock ROM and flash it. Then we'll try flashing TWRP again.
If you don't have stock ROM, download it. as you might need it to recover.

no i didnt, think you it will help? i mean if i can connect my mobile into pc without any problem in normal mode and in fastboot too... i will unninstal drivers, intall them again and them i will try unninstal motorola device manager and then again intall him.
(i had newest drivers i can update them)
LOL?
OK im in recovery i already flashed superSU...
What did i do?
As you said, i reinstalled all drivers...
then i downloaded same TWRP again (but with mirror source)
I downloaded attached md5 file ( still dont know what should i do with it )
moved recovery and .md5 files into minimal adb and fastboot (both files i renamed to "recovery")
turned off devices
started fastboot
connected to PC
started command window and entered command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
then i didnt wrote sommand "fastboot reboot" as i done before
i just unpluged usb and navigate to recovery button and launched it
and VUALA im in recovery
hurraaa
just installed superSU and then rebooted.
everything works (superSU too)
i have one more question...
i downloaded twrp manager from google play
first start: asked for root permission a allowed it
then message appeard:
"The only compatible version of busybox we support is Stericson. All other cause havoc on all operations in this app. Please click yes to install Stericson busybox"
what the heck is busybox?
+Should i download it or not?
Do not use TWRP Manager, ROM Manager, CWM Manager or any other of these Tools. They often do not really work good together with "exotic" fones. Why the heck do you need TWRP manager? You have TWRP installed
Anyway - Busybox you also can download and install from Playstore. Busybox is a collection of executable terminal commands helpful for any kind of script. There are a couple of rooted apps who will ask for busybox support - so don't hesitate to install busybox - but do it directly with busybox app from playstore.
After you have installed the binaries you can de-install the busybox-app. Because all necessary binaries then are copied into /system/bin/ folder and the app itself only will become active once a new version would be available (but this is not the case very often).
ok then

My recovery image seems to be messed up since I can't boot into it. My phone will boot but everytime it does ADW crashes over and over not allowing me to do anything. What can I do to go about getting the recovery fixed again and reflashing to try to smooth everything out?
*Edit*.I think I may have thought of a work around. I emailed my self the launcherpro.apk and installed it through gmail. Now I can access my phone. Now I just need to flash a working recovery..
I do appreciate your help though Riley.
You can try downloading ADW Launcher, putting it on your SD card and boot from recovery, then flash the launcher. It is a far shot, but if launcher is the only problem, maybe reflashing it will do the trick.
** EDIT ** My apologies. I misunderstood. I thought you were referring to a corrupted recovery image that you had made of your ROM!
You say you can't boot into recovery/ what's your phone do or say when trying to boo4 in recovery? You may have to push new recovery image via fastboot.

If you have USB debugging turned on you can flash Amon_RA via an adb shell using the flash_image tool - exactly the way the original Eris rooting process worked. With your phone looping, it will run very slowly, but will still succeed.
If you have the S-OFF bootloader installed, you can flash the recovery with fastboot.
I'll have an XDA admin move this thread to the Q&A forum.
Ok guys..I got launcher pro installed so I can actually access my phone now. I attempted to Flash a recovery with Rom Manager and it says it succeeds but it will never boot into it. I do have the bootloader with the "off". Is there a market app or something that can easily flash the recovery? I only ask because I am not at my PC with the android sdk stuff.

If you can't get to a PC to use adb, you could use a root shell in a terminal emulator to flash recovery using flash_image. That's kind of painful/tedious though - almost enough so to make it worth your while to just wait until you get back to your PC.
It is technically feasible to put together a flashable ROM to re-flash the recovery, but I'm not aware of anyone having done so for the Eris.
Oh ok..well I have RA Eris 1.6.2 recovery on my sd card. So I can just flash it via the termninal emulator, right?
** I tried to install via terminal and it says "header is the same, not flashing recovery". Do you think I could install the stock Eris recovery and reflash Amon's?
UPDATE!!: I got a recovery to flash..YAY..thanks guys

are you using "flash_image"? If so, where is it from? To my knowledge (the statically linked version from Amon_RA - /sbin/flash_image) is a pretty simplistic program - it performs no checks, and will let you flash total garbage to any named partition on your phone. (Which is why you should verify the md5 of the recovery image before you flash it, BTW; you can use the AFV app for that)
Did you get the message: Magic Value Mismatch:-.-.-.-.-.-?!
After flashing a new recovery it happens sometimes.
GREEN ZONE
Are you able to go to the recocery menu(power + vol up)? If not, go to BLUE ZONE. If yes, follow these steps
1. check whether you have copied your rom as "update.zip" to your SD card's root directory
2. Go to recovery menu and install update.zip
BLUE ZONE
You may did something wrong while flashing a new recovery. Here is the right method:
1. go back to fastboot mode(power+power+power+vol up) and type these commands on your PC
2. fastboot erase userdata
3. fastboot erase system
4. fastboot erase cache
5. fastboot erase linux
6. fastboot erase recovery
7. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (change path, if recovery.img is not in the same directory as fastboot.exe)
8. fastboot reboot
Are you able now to go to the recovery menu? If yes, go to GREEN ZONE and follow steps. If not, go to ORANGE ZONE.
ORANGE ZONE
Are able to unpack the update.zip and find the system.img and boot.img files? If not, then go to RED ZONE. If yes, copy these 2 files to the directory where the fastboot.exe is, run these commands:
1. fastboot erase recovery
2. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3. fastboot -w
4. fastboot erase linux
5. fastboot erase system
6. fastboot flash system system.img
7. fastboot flash linux boot.img
8. fastboot reboot
ROM is installed. Enjoy it!
RED ZONE
Make sure, that you copied the same recovery.img to fastboot folder, that you had flashed before to your tablet.
Type this command in recovery mode:
1. fastboot boot recovery.img
This command will run the recovery from your PC. After the recovery menu is booted, go to GREEN ZONE and enjoy your ROM!
If this was helpful to you, please do not hesitate to click on Thanks!

So you installed the recovery via fastboot. Did you manage to boot into recovery mode?
I had that issue, that I couldn't boot into recovery mod from my Folio, by pressing power+Up button. Thats why I added the RED ZONE method. Its like booting recovery from your PC. (fastboot boot recovery.img). All the times I wanna upgrade my current ROM, I have to do this step, because the power+up does not work, and the Folio skips booting in recovery and wanna do normal booting. However there is no Rom installed on machine, so I get the magic value mismatch message.
So try to boot recovery from your PC, but be sure you have copied to your fastboot folder the same recovery, that you flashed onto the tablet.
I hope it was helpful. If something is not clear, feel free to ask.
Hi there, thanks for the answer.

Are you able to wipe cache from recovery? And what else errors are listed?
One more thing, try to flash your boot.img and system.img via fastboot as written above.
If I follow this

and let it install cwm v 3, I get the cache error and cannot wipe or mount via recovery.
If I follow the ICS thread, and flash the new cwm v5 via fastboot, I don't get the cache error, but the rom simply won't start. If I open the package, there is a boot.img, but not a system.img, just a system folder...
I could try flashing boot.img, but I don't see how that could help

Well just to see it clear. So you are able to install Foliomod 1.4, so your Internal storage is not broken.
When I get home, I will check the system folder of ICS rom. There are some method to create system.img from an unpacked folder...
So, in CWM 5.5.0.4 you manage to install Zip from SD card, ROM and GAPPS as well, but the Rom does not boot?!
yup, that's exactly it.
Haven't tried installing Gapps since I can't even get the rom to boot.
I have a perfectly working tablet with foliomod 1.4, and I did get honeycomb to run but some apps crashed so I reverted back to foliomod.
with CWM CWM 5.5.0.4 everything seems to work great, except at reboot, nothing happens (somehow, I no longer even get the magic value mismatch)
------------------
PS. not sure if this is at all relevant, but I cannot fastboot from win7, I'm fastbooting in either ubuntu or xp via VirtualBox, and the device, when calling >fastboot devices shows up as ?????????? (ubuntu) and ? (xp)... :\

Hmmm strange. I ask it for you on developers forum. What you can still do, is to check the steps, that you did them correctly. In most of the cases users forget something, or do some steps incorrectly.
Try to erase userdata, cache, system, linux and recovery in fastboot. You mentioned you had problem with fastboot under Win7. Problem may occur, in case of not proper erasing.
Thanks, I'll give it another try tonight.
Fastboot in win7 is simply not seeing the device. It shows up in XP and Ubuntu, but as "??????" - not sure if that could be a symptom.
I'll post a reply as soon as I've tried, and let you know how it went.

For me it works perfectly on Win7. After Installing SDK and JDK the in the devicemanager it is shown as an Unknown device. Simply add the driver manually to it.
Download driver from attachment.
Copy it to SDK\USB_driver folder
That works for me. After its done, the Folio is shown as "Fastboot" in device manager. But connect the tablet in fastboot mode to your PC before you add driver manually to it.
Thanks for that.
Tried it, still not working in win7. It shows up correctly in device manager, but fastboot itself just doesn't want to see it...
I've attached a screenshot for you
EDIT: screenshot gets resized, but it shows device manager listing

Thanks stefannsv, tried it, still not showing...
But I can access fastboot on another platform, so I assume it's not an issue, I can just switch over to another OS to flash
no go, followed both this original post (tried all steps except orange, cause the rom I'm trying to install has a system folder, not a system.img)
Last method I tried was:
1) boot into fastboot
2) boot cwm-recovery-5.5.0.4.img directly from PC
3) wipe data/factory reset
4) wipe cache partition
5) install zip from SD card and chose the alpha 4 release
installing update...
then back to recovery, reboot and voilà... magic value mismatch again (it had disappeared for a while... )
Also, when booting into CWM 3.0.0.5, I get a series of "E: Can't mount/cache/recovery" type errors.. could this be related?
booting directly into recovery from PC doesn't alllow me to install any ROMS, not even foliomod 1.4 which works if using puppet13th's method
Alright, so i have an EVO 4g lte and i attempted to root it today. It didnt turn out very well to say the least... I unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP recovery.I then flashed superSU, and at the same time i flashed a custom rom and gapps zip. Then hit reboot. It has not booted up since.. It will just sit at the white HTC screen. i tried clearing cache and Dalvik cache, also did a factory reset. tried flashing cm10 rom onto the device as well as a rooted stock rom. nothing works! the farthest i have gotten was with the cm10 rom and it went to the cyanogenmod boot logo but was in bootloop still. I downloaded the ADT tool bundle but the phone wont show up on the device list. Can anyone help? im completely stumped.. Im fairly new to rooting and custom roms, but i have rooted multiple tablets and samsung galaxy phones and havent had any issues. this is my only phone also, i just gave my backup to my mother because her phone broke... please if anyone knows how to fix this let me know. when i boot into recovery mode it says Tampered and Unlocked at the top as well as S-On. I can also go into TWRP recovery with no problems. just cant use fastboot with my computer (windows 7 PC).
I am pretty sure i know what i did wrong, I flashed SuperSU to gain root at the same time i flashed the custom rom and gapps.. on all the other devices i would reboot after root and then flash the custom rom seperately.. but is there a way to correct my mistake?
Since you are s-on you have to fastboot flash the boot.img/kernel first and then flash CM and gapps
Any questions PM me
OK sorry to be a noob but how do I do that? I used cmd.exe while rooting but now it won't recognize my device. Much thanks for any help!!
Sent from my GT-P5110 using xda app

In recovery type adb devices
See if you get a reply
In fast boot USB menu on the phone, I typed fastboot devices on cmd and it came up blank.

Sounds like a driver issue
1.Uninstall everything HTC from your PC
2.Reboot your PC
3.Plug your phone in and it will load a bunch of drivers
4.Try the command again
If that does not work get the latest drivers from HERE use the ones dated 6/6/13
and don't forget the BMP drivers towards the bottom of post 1

yes they are talking now. fastboot devices and my phone shows up.
i tried fastboot flash boot.img but it wont recognize the command, i placed the boot.img file into the platform-tools folder inside my C drive. what am i doing wrong? its late at night and im frustrated so i know im screwing something up...
ok good BTW which version of twrp are you using? Let me know before you continue.
pull the boot.img from the rom zip and copy it to the folder you opened your cmd window from
then type fastboot boot boot.img
once it says successful press the power button to return to HBOOT and use the vol keys to navigate to recovery
Once there choose wipe and wipe cache/dalvik cahce/system/data or factory reset depending which version of twrp you are using
then flash CM and gapps
C:\Users\Corey>fastboot boot boot.img
cannot load 'boot.img': No error
thats what i typed in and thats what it said back to me. not quite sure what the problem is.
the boot.img is placed in the same folder as the fastboot application

same thing, cannot load unknown error. also i am using twrp 2.6.0.0
Ok lets try something different at least it will get you up and running
Get twrp v2.4.1.0 from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jewel
put it in the same folder you are using and we will downgrade your twrp for now
copy and paste this in the cmd window
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-jewel.img
then fastboot erase cache
ok got the twrp done succesfully as well as the wipe cache. whats next? i think i figured out what i was doing wrong, i hadnt opened the file directory. cd downloads, cd android files, etc.
should i try going into recovery now on the phone and flash a rom, or should we stay on fastboot and push the boot.img?
Easiest way to open a cmd window is to press shift and right click inside the folder and choose open cdm window here
That way you know you are in the correct folder.
Yeah go ahead and try to flash the boot.img again
[[ SOLVED ]]
I was trying to flash a rom and I did wrong.
The phone got stuck on the white HTC screen.
I'm trying to get it back, the problem is that when I connect to the pc is not recognized. I installed SDK Tools, adb, drivers and all.
All In One Toolkit run and try to flash the boot.img but it says "error: device not found"
I run adb commands but it says the same thing, "error: device not found"
I tried it with Venom Flasher but I can not solve.
I uninstalled and went back to install the drivers, but I still have the same result, I run out of options.
When I turn the phone enters fastboot, I can access the recovery, but the phone at this time does not rom, dead.
By mistake I went to lock the bootloader but today I unlock it again with the All In One Toolkit and the bin file, so do not understand why if the file could flasher to unlock the bootloader again, but when trying to flash the boot.img or execute commands like: adb devices, adb reboot bootloader throws the error "device not found"
I appreciate it can help me ...

ADB commands are only recognized in recovery or when system is running. re-unlock your bootloader first. you can reboot into bootloader by pressing and holding power & volume-down button. navigate using volume buttons and enter fastboot by pressing power button. Now you can flash boot.img with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" or using any One X+ compatible toolkit. If it doesn't work, try installing latest HTC sync on your computer to get latest drivers. you can uninstall htc sync later again, the drivers will remain installed.

Yeah, try doing that. I locked boot loader again but still had no results. What I did right now was "fastboot flash boot boot.img" says ok, but just gets stuck on the white screen. The phone right now has no information, nothing. I have in my pc folder with the rom that was installed (zip with boot.img) I have the latest version of clockworkmode.

Did you do a wipe in before flashing the new rom?
Anyway you can copy a new rom.zip onto your phone using "adb sideload rom.zip" or "adb push rom.zip /data/media/0" while you're in recovery. Then do a full wipe first, flash rom and don't forget to flash boot.img.

I cant flash zip file, its says "error: device not found".
I put the zip file in adb folder, then "adb sideload filename.zip"
Do not know if I'm doing well, I turn on the phone in recovery mode, then with the volume keys I go to "install zip" option then "install zip from sideload" then run the command I get the error.

ADB may take some time to recognize your device in recovery. Try "adb devices" first and if it isn't listed as in recovery or sideload, wait some minutes and try again. Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes though.
But you have installed latest drivers?

Your phone needs to be in recognized as in sideload mode in order to use adb sideload. when recognized in recovery, try "adb push rom.zip /data/media/0", this will copy your rom onto your phones internal memory. Depending on rom size, this may take some minutes and there's no progress bar/display, so give it some time, 10 min should be enough.

1. Turn off your phone.
2. Boot your phone in Recovery Mode (Volume Up + Power Button).
3. Install the zip file in the following link. h ttp: // ww w.m ediafire. com/download/sh541l2u2e78vl6/CWM6.0.27.z ip (DELETE ALL SPACES )
4.Reboot into the custom recovery you have just installed.
5.Go to toggle signature verification and check if it is enabled or disabled. If it is enabled, you HAVE TO disable it.
6. Select ROM.zip from your phone memory and flash it.
7.If you do not have the rom on your phone(The same ROM of which you deleted the system folder), then mount the usb storage from recovery with your phone connected to the PC. Transfer files to the usb storage or phone storage, which ever is convenient.
8.Boot into Recovery and flash the ROM.
9.Reboot phone and WAIT.
Let me know if that works :good:

Mr.Jaswal, if he really had to go to the mobile care center, he wouldn't be participating the XDA Forums. People go to the mobile care center only when their phone is hard bricked, and i do not think that is the case here. I'm sure the problem can be solved.
Reflash stock ROM again.You will get your system back.

Yes you can, as long as your phone is rooted.But make sure you use a custom recovery and not the stock recovery .Meaning,you have to flash another recovery like CWM Recovery. And please disable signature verification. Let me know what happens Reset to factory settings and do a full wipe before doing anything else though

Did you disable signature verification? Do that and try. If that doesn't work either you can use fastboot to install recovery, which will 100%.
Follow these steps :
1.USB drivers for your phone must be installed on a computer.
2.Android SDK must be installed on your computer.
3.Your phone must be connected to your computer via USB.
4.The ADB and Fastboot drivers must be pasted into the folder where Android SDK is installed.
5.Navigate to the Android SDK folder,press shift and Right Click, select the Open Command Window here option.
6.Then type the following after your phone is recognized by cmd.In most cases it is.(Type this command to start fastboot : "adb reboot bootloader" and then "fastboot devices")
7.After that type the following : fastboot devices
And then : fastboot flash recovery FILE.ZIP
8.And you are done Open your custom recovery with the key combination used to open your stock recovery.

CWM.zip is what you will input. The name of the CWM.zip should match the command. Or you will need to change the zip file name to CWM.zip if it is named something else
