I tried again, not work. After that, reboot, try to enter recovery mode, only get "no command" message with a dead Android robot on the screen.
I wanna root this device, but can't install TWRP at all.
Please give some help.
1) Did you type in the right command?
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
2) Did you download twrp from the official page? Did you try re-downloading the twrp file to make sure its not corrupted? Below is the link for twrp 3.0.2, directly from the official page of twrp.
https://dl.twrp.me/athene/
Please update me how it goes.
I had the same issue. Always got that message, but I reflashed it a few times until it eventually worked.

First of all, thanks for all the reply.

Here, it said sending 'recovery' (12496 KB)...
which means, I guess it get that img file, but still fail.
By the way, some other user got the same problem and message.
I tried on XT1625 Moto g4, again and again, fail. close unnecessary program.
If I can unlock bootloader, hardly believe things could go south like this.
Maybe the key problem is
1 (bootloader) has-slot:recovery: not found
something must wrong, but where?
2 (bootloader) Image not signed or corrupt
XT1625 Moto g4, Moto g4 plus need different TWRP? But there's only one from TWRP official website.
I tried everything I can do, download again compare with md5 before I post.
I can't find way out.
Anyway, thanks alot.
updated, I'm not sure, but as you said, I tried again, suddenly, I could enter TWRP, I will try whether it work or not.
Another question is, after unlock bootloader, install TWRP, root. Can I update system or patch with OTA?
Thank you for reply and help.

Custom recovery and root break OTA. You might still get the notification that an OTA is available, but it won't be able to apply.
it never worked for me.
But the next command works:
fastboot boot twrp.img

I was having the same problem. I tried the RootJunkyremove amazon bloat script, and I was having all sorts of problems, Even getting into a boot loop for a while.
I was running without a recovery until I ran Rootjunky's root script, which seems to have fixed most things.

Hi I have the XT1570, running unlocked and with rooted but stock 5.1.1. I have run in to some issues with the recovery part.
Firstly I wanted to go back to the recovery and flash a stock recovery so I could get the OTA for MM, i did that using fastboot, and the flash worked fine according to fastboot, however once i rebooted into recovery it would not load, got an error message, I forget now something about dumping back to bootloader.
Anyway i fixed it got TWRP back on again, then tried a different stock recovery, same thing same error, so i thought I would easily get back to TWRP by the same method, flash again. I was wrong, now fastboot told me , target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
error: cannot load 'twrp-2.8.7.1-clark': No error
Remember this is the exact same TWRP image i have just flashed not 5 mins before.
So i thought ok then, maybe an old image is in there taking up space or something.

OKAY [ 0.017s]
finished. total time: 0.019s
Now I get the message:
Invalid boot image header.
Error:failed to load kernel
Boot up failed.
I presume I have deleted everything in the recovery partition, and so messed it up good, but I dont know how to fix it at this point.
I also erased the cache along the way (via fastboot) as I tried to get the OTA update to work anyway just to see what would happen, so I had to erase the cache to cancel updates
I must reiterate, I can boot into Android and use my phone no issues, at all, just I have no recovery at all and this means updates arent going to work, also i cant seem to find a reliable source for a stock recovery.
Some step by step help would be appreciated, as I am not an expert by any means on this.
Thank you.
Also my device was bought in China as that is where I am, it does indeed have the code name XT1570, dual sim, I would assume it is basically the same as the XT1572 asian. I do also have an original backup of the phone after unlocking bootloader, before root, which was my next port of call after changing the recovery back to stock.
fixed it i was just being foolish, someone delete this thread it is of no use.
Can you explain how you fixed it? I too have deleted the recovery in an attempt to flash twrp, but now neither twrp nor the stock recovery are there?

I've followed a couple tutorials of that explain how to unlock Motorola's Moto G4 bootloader. This seems to be the "official" one from Motorola:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b
I copied part of it up to where I get stuck. Here it is:
Put your device in fastboot mode (power off, then press the power and volume down buttons simultaneously).
On your desktop, open a command prompt or terminal, and go to the directory where you installed the Android SDK tools (or make sure fastboot is in your $PATH)
At the prompt, type $ fastboot oem get_unlock_data
The returned string will be used to retrieve your unlock key.
Example: On a Windows Desktop, the returned string format would be $ fastboot oem get_unlock_data
(bootloader) 0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230
(bootloader) 30373731363031303332323239#BD00
(bootloader) 8A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F95
(bootloader) 1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000
(bootloader) 0000000
****************************************
OK, so I just bought a Moto G4 for $125 on Amazon's prime day. This means that it has ads on the lock screen. I'm OK with that. But I think they also made the locked bootloader unlocakble as 3 times I've gotten this from a Windows machine in ADB mode:
(bootloader) Unlock data:
(bootloader) 3A45210407248602#
(bootloader) 5A59323233433246534C004D6F746F2047200000#
(bootloader) 1095EFAB6000EDC14660539C503A04F7900B9A01#
(bootloader) 9F93C800000000000000000000000000
There should be numbers in that first Bootloader line and then Motorola says:
You're device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking.
Has anybody else had this happen? This is my second time doing this to a Motorola phone and the Moto g2 was a snap! I was hoping to install a custom recovery like TWRP so I could get a nandroid backup while everything is new

Do u have the Amazon moto g4?
I do and I unlocked my bootloader and rooted the phone already.
Yes I have the Amazon G4
Well, these posts gave me hope that I was repeating the same mistake and I was. Forth time worked to unlock the BL. I was deleting the # signs at the end of each line. That was the mistake. It should be this from 4 lines:
3A45210407248602#5A59323233433246534C004D6F746F2047200000#1095EFAB6000EDC14660539C503A04F7900B9A01#9F93C800000000000000000000000000
Now I'm trying to boot into the TWRP image I flashed with fastboot and fastboot gave me errors about it not being signed so I'm not sure it worked. Where are people here getting the Moto g4 TWRP images? I went here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=...23bf15e9165ccc3b437c48af2047195d3fae863dca817

Just FYI, Motorola's bootloader unlock website has a webtool that you can use to clean the output of get_unlock_data, so you'll only get the relevant info. Copy-paste the raw code into the tool, hit clean, copy paste the output into the unlock code line on the website, submit.
Regarding TWRP, yes I think everyone gets that "Image not signed or corrupt" message. Also, you can't "adb reboot recovery" from fastboot. Just flash it via fastboot, reboot into fastboot, then go into recovery.
Maybe it did install twrp OK since it still boots into the original stock ROM OK. How do u get into twrp with the buttons on the phone?

Boot into fastboot (press and hold power + volume down, let go when the bootloader screen shows up), press down on the volume rocker twice, and it'll say "recovery mode" on the screen. Press power once and it'll boot into TWRP.
Something's wrong then. I get to the fastboot screen OK but when I go into recovery it says your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. It will reboot in 5 sec and then I see a dead robot.
EDIT
it does boot OK into the stock ROM from there if u do nothing for a minute or two or if u just hold in power button for 15 secs to get a black screen and then release the button and hold it 4 secs to get a normal boot
Sounds like TWRP didn't flash correctly, or maybe was a bad download (can download directly from TWRP's website here: https://dl.twrp.me/athene/). Reboot back into fastboot and try flashing TWRP again (you might also want to try renaming it to recovery.img, so the flashing command would be "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img").
I'll try again later today-hopefully it works and thanks for the link
I'm gonna try doing adb in Linux too.

Yes, that is normal for devices with unlocked bootloaders. You can get rid of it by rebooting into fastboot and following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67031810&postcount=5
(if you don't have mfastboot, you can use plain-old fastboot as well)
I'm puzzled-the md5 on twrp was right and I unlocked the BL OK. I'll try it in Linux later and see if it takes.
Might be worth trying another USB port or even another cable. Some people have issues when trying to flash things on a USB 2.0 phone plugged into a USB 3.0 port.
About how much time should it take to flash twrp? I don't think it even flashed anything yesterday because it was too quick.

It is almost instantaneous. As for the booting into recovery and seeing the dead robot, that is probably due to the fact that the phone tries to re-write the recovery when you reboot automatically. Just flash the twrp.img, and then go to recovery from the bootloader without rebooting and you will be fine; just make sure you have whatever you want to flash (e.g. supersu) on your device storage when you get there.
Sounds like a plan! What's the md5 on the supersu file?

Reboot to recovery first after flashing twrp. Then reboot from twrp recovery.
Don't worry about the message. It's just a warning.

do exactly what i give-
1.Put your device in bootloader mode(make sure the usb debugging is on)
2.Open adb (make sure adb and twrp are in the same folder)by shift+right click,then open command window here(do this where adb is installed).
3.Type: fastboot flash recovery [name of twrp image].img
4.Then in the bootloader menu toggle to restart bootloader .(Not restart because the recovery will get replaced by stock recovrey)
5.Open recovery.twrp should be installed
If you have any problem send the printscreen of cmd.
Step 4 : Choose Reboot to recovery mode using volume keys. Press power button to select.

Nupe.
I saw where someone said you could flash B20 bootloader and flash TWRP on Nougat, is this true? Is anyone working on a guide for Nougat TWRP and root. On another note I thought that I read that ZTE would be bringing Wifi calling for Nougat with carries such as T-Mobile? I was unable.to find it under options and assume that it is not possible, anyone have any idea about this.
Thanks
I have an unlocked BL and recently upgraded to Nougat, but when I try to reinstall TWRP via fastboot flash method, it fails. I have tried two different versions of TWRP 3.0.3-1 & 3.0.4-1. This is the message I get.

I got TWRP 3.0.4 installed (as well as 3.0.3-1)... It installed sucessfully via Fastboot for me, I even flashed SU, but I couldn't get my phone to boot into the OS (tried with and without SU).......It just hung at the boot pre-boot screen (where it warns you the bootloader is unlocked). I'd restart it, and it always hangs at that screen..... Only way to fix it was to boot back into TWRP, revert back to B29 (using DrakenFX guide) and then update to Nougat again. I spent about 16 hours straight working on this on Tuesday, before I gave up and decided to keep it stock until a custom ROM comes out, soon (Z.A.D. v.4), hopefully?
I have an issue where I installed B15 but whenever I boot my phone, it hangs on the Linux Tux logo. Any fix?

You probably pushed the power button to "Start"? Try letting it sit there about 10-15 seconds, if it won't boot...This is the exact same problem I had. I had to go back to B29, then do the update again. There is now a B15 "return to stock" walk-through, that may be the quicker route.....But I know returning to B29, turning on OEM Unlock in Dev options and then taking the update via your SD card was what I did (3 times in one day).

My bootloader is unlocked (back when ZTE actually provided the unlocking)....adb fastboot works on my phone as well and I've flashed TWRP (3.0.4 and 3.0.3-1) and it's booted into TWRP, but I cannot boot into the actual OS...My phone goes all black and just hangs there, I think this may be booting directly into EDL mode and not the OS? I can plug my phone into the computer and my computer makes noises as if a USB device has been attached, but my screen is completely black. If I push the start button while the phone is booting (to bypass the bootloader is unlocked warning screen), I boot to a small penguin screen.
The only thing I can do from there is revert back to stock B29, then update back to stock B15.
I want to be able to install TWRP, root my phone, on Nougat, and be able to use my phone too?

The MiFlash program found my phone, but failed every time I ran it.. So, I just bit the bullet and downloaded the latest TWRP 3.0.4-1 and flashed that.....And it worked! I then flashed SU, my fonts and changed my Emoji's....I'm about there with customization, and it's all booting up just fine!
But, yes the first few times I did allow system modifications......But I also did this last time too and it's working fine?
Followed a tutorial on how to install lineage-14.1-20180817-UNOFFICIAL-cedric, but somehow missed a step or messed up.
I unlocked the bootloader, not exactly but in general: flashed the boot.img and rebooted, phone started and was able to use android.
But some strange problems occurred, like somehow my PIN was not recognized and device failed to factory reset.
Locked the bootloader again because of the warning (here's my mistake I guess) and now am unable to flash or revert to stock.
I am able to boot into android, did enable USB debug and bootloader unlock.
But everytime I boot I get the warning a different kernel has been installed (instead of wrong key before) and permission is always denied remotely.

This happens with everything, permission denied.
If I try to unlock it again via fastboot commandline (Windows) I get:
"(bootloader) invalid boot state"
Starting the phone in fastboot, the status is "flashing_locked".
What can I do now?
I am a noob, therefor the tutorial...

Finished. Total time: 0.077s
This happens with everything, permission denied.
If I try to unlock it again via fastboot commandline (Windows) I get:
"(bootloader) invalid boot state"
Starting the phone in fastboot, the status is "flashing_locked".
What can I do now?
I am a noob, therefor the tutorial...
Thanks

First, this thread is for g5 plus not for g5, so post in that thread.
Solution:- which firmware you are trying is it for g5 or g5+, if you flash wrong firmware then this happen, try downloading your firmware and then flash it.now you are on stock. If you don't know how to Flash, you can prefer XDA threads or use Lenovo Moto smart assistant app (pc) that will flash the firmware for you.
If you want to go on custom ROM then, first go to stock rom as it will restore your boot.img and custom ROM can work. If you directly want to go to custom rom (skiping above procedure) then flash boot.img from ADB or twrp and install custom ROM.
Here is the thread to Flash stock ROM:-

Link for Lenovo Moto smart assistant app:-

And if you are using XDA threads it has old firmware which can brick you Device you can get your firmware from here and chose which firmware channel you belong:-

At last to not take risk remove bootloader and gpt commands from ADB.
It is a G5 Plus and I get permission denied with adb or fastboot.
In android I van go go developers option and OEM unlock is ON, if I go fastboot, flashing is locked.

Well LOS14....-cedric is the G5 variant. You didn't flash the wrong firmware did you?
Apperently I did...
Is there a way to fix it?
the Lenovo recovery tool mentioned above doesn't do anything with the "flash" option.
Put the phone in fastboot mode and it is not recognized by the Lenovo application.
Can still manual send fastboot and adb via the Windows command line but still "locked" and "pemrission denied".
the command fastboot flashing unlock did the trick for now.
But, I want to revert to stock, what is the correct way?
Can someone point me to a good how to or tutorial with recent files?
EDIT: I see LineageOS officially is not supporting the G5 plus, but there is a unofficial version in the G5 plus forums.
I'm still thinking of customizing because of all the bloatware and sluggish performance.
reïnstalled TWRP, put Pixel Experience on an SD card, booted TWRP recovery, did several attempts to clean all data / cache etc. but got several errors, retried, rebooted, chose all options and installed Pixel.
First try phone did not boot, froze on Pixel boot, again wiped everything, again installed Pixel and now it boots.
good lesson.
Phone is not entirely recognized the correct way, google security speaks of a Moto X (4) and the phone itself mentions the exact model number instead of Moto G5 Plus.

Yeah security does show as Moto X4. That's normal.
One final question: On reboot I always end up in the fastboot menu without holding power and volume down, I also always get the unlock warning.
Is this a sign the bootloader is still not okay?
And is there an easy way to fix it?
