I flashed it using the info from (android. gs/install-twrp-recovery-moto-x- android-4-4- kitkat)
Am I using the correct one? And after that when I try to boot to recovery, nothing happens.

Do it like so
1. Put phone in bootloader
2. Type mfastboot flash recovery name of img.img
3. Then type adb reboot recovery
4. Then install supersu via flashable zip or from the market place
But right after you flash the custom recovery you have to boot into the recovery before you let the device boot up or the recovery won't work.
How this helps

Thank you again for responding.
I am fairly familiar with using CMD and commands but I think I am missing a step. Dont I need to have the window open that contains certain files? I am running windows 8.
Right after I flash the fastboot image I get several options when I do the "hold power and down volume" and none of them mention twrp recovery. It just says "recovery". Is that normal?

Yes click the down volume until recovery is highlighted and then hit volume up to select it but you can just type in the cmd window adb reboot recovery and it will boot into recovery

It worked! The step where I was making the mistake was not booting into recovery immediately after flashing,
Thank you again!!:good:

[SCRIPT] Recovery Flashing Script

Hello Guys! I made this little script for the people that dont know adb/fastboot commands and want to install a custom recovery
This will ONLYwork on UNLOCKED bootloaders.
Make sure "USB-Debugging" is enabled and adb/fastboot drivers have been properly installed
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for bricked devices or nuclear warfare. I made this simple script for those who can follow simple instructions.
1st. Download the Recovery Flashing script from here: http://goo.gl/ZtaUFe
2. Unzip the files to a folder on your desktop, or where ever you would like, just remember where you unzipped it to.
3. Download the recovery of your choice:
[m8][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703223
OR
[RECOVERY][m8] TWRP 2.7.0.0 touch recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2717932
4. Place the recovery you downloaded in the previous step into the folder you unzipped the Recovery Flashing script.
5. Rename the recovery you downloaded to Recovery that way it appears as "Recovery.img" in the folder. If it has and extra ".img" at the end, it will fail to flash.
6. After you have done all the steps above, Simply click the "Recovery-Flasher.bat" and follow its instructions it presents, If you have done everything correctly you phone will boot into recovery at the end of the script
I hope this has made life a little easier for our new comers. Please dont forget to hit the thanks button!!! :good::good::good:

Changelog:
V1.1- Added "Fastboot erase cache" after flashing recovery.

Sorry but you will need a window pc to use this tool. You can download one of the recoveries in the OP then use the app Flashify in the play store to flash the recovery .

Um...... If English isn't your native language, then it would be advisable you type out your problem in a language you're comfortable with and use Google translate. That will help us identify the problem.

You can do this: - lock bootloader
- power on device
- enable adb debugging on device
- make sure you have adb and fasboot working corectly
- connect device via usb to PC
- run RUU with administrator rights
- and from there on just follow the instructions given by software
- http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Golf
you really need the 2-4 lines i mentioned up for this to work
no need to flash anything recovery or boot if it's an .exe
if it's a .zip you need to :
flash via custom recovery and flash boot and recovery via fastboot
end.

Phone does not work how i enable adb debugging on device !!! I want how to flashing firmwar

in settings under developmer options
but does it power on
---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------
so if it does not power on you can't use what i said up you need to do this :
download recovery http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/golfu
make sure the fastboot drivers are working and flash the recovery you download(you can rename it to recovery) and in cmd fastboot boot recovery.img
for this to work make sure the device is conected via usb to pc
after that download the stock rom from here http://mblex.ru/roms/desirec/stock/untouched__rom_v2.0eu_dcplx1.zip
put it on sd reboot to recovery and install the zip from sd
after that reboot to bootloader
extract boot.ig from the rom you download and fla**** with fastboot boot boot.img
again make sure the device is conectedvia usb to pc
reboot and that's it
if you want after you install this you want it to full stock and to be able to update the firmware
do what i mentioned earlier but only after you enable the debugging option in developer option in settings

Wouldn't the bootloader need to be unlocked to flash the recovery? If it isn't unlocked, he would have to take it to a service centre.

tkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkksss ... please how i can flash the recovery ?

You need an unlocked bootloader. If you have unlocked, then download the adb fastboot drivers and copy the recovery to that folder. Then open cmd and type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

That thread is from the moto g not the moto g 2014 will it still work?
Also is there a way that I could just flash stock 5.0.2 ROM using Odin? Since my phones recovery is gone (like I boot into recovery and it says no command with the broken Android)
Thanks and btw I know my username is awesome lol

Yup, that toolset is developed by shawn5162 and hes a well respected dev
That should help you in restoring your phone back to stock BUT it wont likely relock your bootloader

I'm hoping it works although it restores to KitKat and I'm on lollipop so hopefully it won't cause a bootloop BC of my boot loader being on lollipop
Unless I can find a way to flash stock recovery from flastboot then I can reflash stock ROM and figure out a root method that works
Would that be possible to flash 5.0.2 stock recovery IMG from flastboot? Is so can u help me find a stock recovery IMG to do so
Again thanks

If you downloaded the LP firmware, all should go okay
And no, the recovery stays the same (stock)

I couldn't find the lollipop stock firmware I thought I had it but it was just the ota for 5.0.1 but I'll use the recovery.img from the toolset and try that
If it doesn't work and I use the toolset and restore to 4.4 KitKat will I get the ota to 5.0.2 again or will I have to find and flash it?

No , dont flash it via cwm it wont work
My best bet would be to
1. download stock 4.4 firmware for x64
2. Extract the files to the fastboot folder
3. Boot into your bootloader
4. Open fastboot, then connect your phone (all moto driver should be properly installed)
5, Run the following commands exactly as is , one by one
fastboot flash partition rom\gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot rom\motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo rom\logo.bin
fastboot flash boot rom\boot.img
fastboot flash recovery rom\recovery.img
fastboot flash system rom\system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system rom\system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system rom\system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system rom\system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash modem rom\NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg rom\fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
Awesomely long (I know), but this is the only way to downgrade to a stock 4.4
You will lose your custom recovery and root too

Easiest for me is: fastboot flash/boot twrp,then install SuperSU on reboot. To go back to stock,reflash firmware.

I'll usually just boot twrp and then install SuperSU. To boot twrp boot into the bootloader anduse the following commands with fastboot.
Fastboot boot <name of customer recovery>.img (example twrp.img). It will then load twrp and you can install SuperSU either through sideloading or installing from the root of your device.
