[Q] After flashing TWRP, XT1063 only boots to the unlocked warning screen

My apologies if this has already been posted. I've been looking all morning but haven't seen anyone with the same issue.
Unlock bootloader: no problem.
Flash TWRP: I downloaded from http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/275, and I got an error about partition size mismatch, but that's ok, right?
But when I try to enter recovery, all I get is the warning screen that my phone is unlocked. The drivers are certainly installed correctly, and fastboot is working fine. I just can't get into recovery to flash a ROM!

Restoring to 4.4.4 stock worked like a charm.

I've re-enabled USB debugging. Do I dare try to flash a custom recovery again?

You can use Flashify to make a backup of your current recovery and to flash TWRP.img. should work like a charm.

But Flashify requires root, I see? The reason I'm trying to flash a custom recovery is so I can root in the first place.

You're right. Latest motorola driver and [TOOL]Minimal ADB and Fastboot will do the trick.

Sorry, I should have clarified that when flashing TWRP, I've already been using fastboot.exe from a command line (and administrator level), with the drivers correctly installed. That's how I was able to unlock in the first place.
I did try it with the version of Fastboot you linked to (what I have works peachy for my Nexus 7), still the same thing. I can't boot into recovery and only get stuck at the Motorola unlocked warning.

Oh. Sorry. Can you post the output (terminal & device) of
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery NAME_OF_RECOVERY.img

I'd done "fastboot devices" already to verify, and it returns the serial number, though as I said it's clearly working since I was able to unlock as well as flash recovery. I'm flashing "TWRP2801-titan-motog-2014.img" that I downloaded from the TWRP site, and fastboot gives the standard messages about size and success (and my phone gives the size mismatch error).
It's so strange to me. I've flashed a custom recovery dozens of times on both generations of my Nexus 7s, but I've never seen this.

Yeah......have to meditate about that problem....... is your battery low? Fastboot mode of the device gives me all sorts of problems if it detects low battery

I had been using fastboot at 100% (literally finished a full charge) and 84%, but thanks for the continued attempts at explanation.

Oh, did you check the md5 checksum of your download?

Ah, good thought! I rarely do, but I did just now...and they're the same. It's crazy, isn't it?

If you are willing to risk it, try a fresh download and try again. I've flashed TWRP more than 20 times by now and never recieved an error whatsoever. It basically the easiest thing to do.
Incase you are stuck again, don't reflash the entire stock rom. Just flash the recovery.img from the stock rom files.

HOW TO ROOT MOTO G 2014 with Temporary Custom Recovery
Cheers

I've flashed a custom recovery many a time and have helped people through it, though on Nexus 7s.
Now shall I compound the mystery? I didn't think yet to use ADB to make my phone reboot to recovery. I had assumed recovery wasn't working. So here we go, after booting into Android:
adb reboot devices: my phone's there.
adb reboot recovery: TWRP's working?! And now root is complete!
It doesn't make sense to me why I can't get into recovery from the bootloader, but I can get into it with the simple ADB command. But I appreciate all the help, thanks!

Hello,
You must first install stock recovery in order to manually update through Updater > Local update, and yes update.app must be in the dload folder on the SD card. (connect your device to your PC, install adb, reboot it to bootloader using 'adb reboot bootloader', put 'recovery.img' into the same folder as adb, execute 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img', then do 'fastboot reboot', once your device is fully booted go to the Updater app, and do a local update.)

That is exactly what you need - adb reboot bootloader (<- it's one word!) gets the phone into fastboot mode (same as flashify). From here you can flash the recovery. On the PC, run fastboot flash recovery <path-to-stock-recovery>. This will get you the stock recovery on the phone. Now you can use the 3 button method to flash the stock ROM.

You must get it into fastboot mode. If the phone restarts and does not boot into the OS, then it's a huge problem. You may try to restore the phone with HiSuite, but my bet is that you'd better get it to a service - you probably flashed the wrong bootloader.
You might have luck with the recovery though - hold down VOLUME UP and POWER when turning the device on. This might get you ADB, so you might boot into fastboot mode.

You are right i have to get it to service its not working at all cant even find in fastboot neither in recovery .. this goes so expensive

Press power, volume-down and connect device to PC simultaneously. You will get into fastboot mode. Flash boot image and recovery image that was exactly from your firmware version.

You should make sure you get a pristine backup at hand, or a RUU appropriate to your device. Otherwise you'll never be able toreturn to a full stock system.
On the U11 it is possible to boot TWRP from fastboot, without flashing it and thus without touching stock recovery. That way I've been able to flash Magisk what's coming with MagiskSU and the possibility to use some Modules. And all without altering the system or replacing stock recovery in the first place.

The guys method of using recovery to backup recovery will only work on Philz… Not twrp as it does not always backup stock recovery properly. The proper way to backup stock recovery is..
1. Root your phone, which can be done by towel root or by just booting a recovery like he said,
fastboot boot twrporwhatever.img, then flash supersu
2. Boot phone that has stock recovery
3. adb shell
4. su "watch your phone to grant root adb access if you haven't ever done it"
5. dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
6. This will put flashable recovery.img on your internal sd card. Copy this and save it for later
7. "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" will get you back to stock recovery, "fastboot flash recovery twrporwhatever.img" to flash custom recovery.

If possible and a TWRP recovery is available one should boot to bootloader and try if the command fastboot boot name_of_twrp.img works. Make sure to NOT grant r/w at first boot and leave it ro. Now you can perform a backup of stock recovery, boot and system image (not system partition!) to obtain a pristine backup.
All else will alter system partitions md5 and the backup won't be pristine any longer. Due to block based OTA policy introduced by Google you won't be able to OTA without a pristine system image.

help please root mi8

hello everyone
Buy a Chinese mi8, unlock it waiting for the days that xiaomi tells you.
I installed the global version, and everything works correctly, but I want to change the rom.
I've tried to install TWRP with adb and it's impossible, it tells me the ADB template that OKEY, but never restarts in recovery mode with TWRP, so I can not install magisk, or any rom that is not official.
Is there any way to install a ROM (.zip) without TWRP?, how do I do Root without magisk? Has it happened to anyone?
thanks!

First of all, you're in the wrong section.
Second you should install via fastboot as described a thousand times AND reboot directly to your TWRP image via fastboot command.
The you can flash another from and root it.
Third, I'd like to strongly advice you to do some research about android, flashing etc to make sure that you know what you are doing.... So many people are moaning about bricked devices....

You are trying to be smart? Well...
Why didn't you post your exact steps with fastboot in the first post?
Now it's clear what you did wrong. I already expected it. And you did NOT read what I wrote:
You are rebooting your device with fastboot reboot. In this case your twrp is wiped out by the XIAOMI recovery. Use: fastboot boot yourimagename.
btw, why are you using such an old TWRP? You won't be able to flash actual roms.
So I'd like to come back to my advice in the first answer....

You can't flash a ROM without TWRP and Magisk is the only way you can root your phone that I know of. If you don't even know these simple things/haven't done simple research you might risk to softbrick or even hardbrick your new and shiny phone. There are many guides on how to flash TWRP but you can PM me if you want more help.
Also you don't install TWRP with adb, you need to use fastboot...

You can try this
Make sure you have activated the usb debugging in developer options.
1. Download the tools from here: bit.ly/FlashToolMi8
2. Install the minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.3.1_setup
3. Copy the twrp-3.2.3-0-dipper.img to Minimal ADB and Fastboot Folder
4. Turn off your phone completely. then press power button + volume down to boot in fastboot mode.
5. Run CMD as Administrator then cd to the installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder. (Ex: cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
6. Use this command on your cmd: fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-dipper.img
7. Then: fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-dipper
8. And: fastboot reboot recovery
9. You're now in twrp recovery mode
10. Copy Disable_Dm-Verity_FEC_v1.1 and Magisk-v18.1 to your phone
11. Install Disable_Dm-Verity_FEC_v1.1 from twrp
12. Then install Magisk-v18.1
13. Reboot, Your phone now rooted

The classic way to install TWRP、Magisk and more

Installing magisk_patched is unnecessary.
download ADB here
download TWRP here
download magisk here
first ,we must unlock bootloader.
Settings->About phone->tap at Build number 7 times.Now,we unlocked the "Developer options". open it and turn the OEM unlocking on.
Reboot to bootloader&Run this command on your computer with ADB:
fastboot oem unlock
Use Volume key to select&Power key to enter.
(Ensure you have fully backed up all your files first because the device will be wiped back to default factory state but with an unlocked bootloader)
reboot to bootloder&connect us phone to computer.
Run this command on your computer with ADB:
fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-2-guacamole.img
then,the phone will reboot to TWRP,but this not end for install, it will be broke after you reboot again, we must install the twrp-installer-3.3.1-2-guacamole.zip In this TWRP.
after this step we got the TWRP installed.
then use TWRP to install the last release magisk.
now we got magisk installed & SafetyNet-pass.
you can install xposed or not .
thanks all&enjoy.

This guide completely misses unlocking the bootloader, changing the option in developer settings to OEM unlock is NOT unlocking the bootloader. Please amend your guide to show the missing steps:
Running the following in the bootloader is how to correctly unlock the bootloader :
fastboot devices
Make sure your device is reported correctly
fastboot oem unlock
(Ensure you have fully backed up all your files first because the device will be wiped back to default factory state but with an unlocked bootloader)

reedit now，thx

May want to fix Ture to True and after flashing the TWRP-installer reboot back to TWRP to make sure it sticks(Recovery Installed) before you flash Magisk zip.

Don't forget to flash to both slots to get everything to stick.

Its pretty hard to fail safetynet. I've flashed many different things on this phone and never failed it.

JeSUS! FINALLY! After trying out that other method of rooting, installing twrp and magisk (by using patched images) THIS worked. I updated to 9.5.6 (back to stock, but still bootloader unlocked) and then followed this guide to rooting this phone. Finally! Whew! Wish I had done this from the start. I'm able to go get some sleep now! Thanks OP!

So many great minds here! Best community for a specified device that ive ever had the pleasure of being a part of. Can't wait to try this when my unlock token comes in ?

(Ensure you have fully backed up all your files first because the device will be wiped back to default factory state but with an unlocked bootloader)
reboot to bootloder&connect us phone to computer.
Run this command on your computer with ADB:
fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-2-guacamole.img
then,the phone will reboot to TWRP,but this not end for install, it will be broke after you reboot again, we must install the twrp-installer-3.3.1-2-guacamole.zip In this TWRP.
after this step we got the TWRP installed.
then use TWRP to install the last release magisk.
now we got magisk installed & SafetyNet-pass.
you can install xposed or not .
thanks all&enjoy.

May want to fix Ture to True and after flashing the TWRP-installer reboot back to TWRP to make sure it sticks(Recovery Installed) before you flash Magisk zip.
