I installed customer recovery twrp with success. But still boots stock recovery. Even tried cwm. And still no joy. Second gen moto e 2015 5.0.2 lollipop. I would be great full for any help. Bootloader unlocked. Fastboot gives the green light and still boots stock recovery. Being that the phone is new I could not find a post on this so I made one. Similar but not the same problem.
Which model do you have? 3G or LTE? Which recoveries did you try? (give specific links) How did you install them?
LTE... latest versions that I could find. Still nothing. Hold down power button and push up. When in recovery mode to show recovery menu. Spent days looking up info for this version. Everyone seems to be doing fine but mine is not. This is not my first root so I'm at a Loss for words.

You have to use a recovery for your model. The previous Moto E is completely different, and recoveries for it won't work. Either use Cybojenix's recovery, or use mine.
You have to flash it with fastboot. Turn off your phone, then press and hold the power button along with the volume DOWN button for three seconds, then let go. You will bring up a bootloader menu. On your computer, install the fastboot drivers and fastboot, and flash a compatible recovery with fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-surnia-2.8.6-squid2.img
Once you've flashed a compatible recovery, use the volume keys to select recovery from the bootloader menu, and tap the power button to select it. You will then boot into TWRP. Follow the how to root threads for more detailed instructions.
Many thanks to you. That's the one I used. I am great full. To all who need 2nd gen Moto E LTE 2015 rooted please see below.

I bought this phone a couple weeks ago, already rooted and on a stock rom , the radios and everything else is flashed for cricket.
My question is, how can I find out if I have an unlocked bootloader and a recovery installed?
May sound like a stupid question, but I'm still new for Motorola, so I'm not used to having a locked boot . My thinking is that it must be unlocked if the phone is fully flashed to cricket.
Turn the phone off and turn it back on. At the top it will say unlocked if it's unlocked. To find if it has a custom recovery turn the phone off and hold the volume down and power until you see fastboot. Then use the volume down button until you see android recovery then press volume up to enter recovery. If it goes to recovery you're good if not then it doesn't. But it will only have a custom recovery if it was unlocked before.

If you have CWM recovery you shouldn't have to hit up. You should be able to just hold power and volume down and it'll boot straight into recovery. :]

So I've tried researching this slight issue and I have seen a lot of different solutions but none of them apply to my particular problem. My phone works just fine when booted regularly and charges just fine. The only time I'm having an issue is if I boot into recovery. I just installed twrp 2.7.0.3 and tried to reboot in order to flash supersu. No dice. I've tried rebooting into fastboot and reflashing and I've tried the M8 toolkit. Reflashing works, but still won't boot to recovery and the toolkit just hangs trying to flash the file. I think that's where my issue lies. I waited 19 minutes and eventually closed the program and just rebooted. I'm thinking this caused an issue and corrupted my recovery but i figured reflashing would solve this.
I was wondering if someone could clarify this for me, in which i'll just sit tight and wait until an ruu releases and stick with stock sense. The phone works perfectly so I can deal for a little while. I was just hoping to move to the GPe rom and get xposed running on it.
Thanks yall. I'll keep searching until I have to go to work and if I find a solution before anyone responds I'll update this post so it can be locked.
I would make sure you adb files are up to date, and try flashing philz recovery instead.

Seems like every problem in here is when someone uses a toolkit. IMO it is easier just to use the commands. There is nothing wrong with twrp as most people including myself are using it flawlessly. Download fresh copy of twrp. Make sure you get .img file, not .zip. Boot your phone, plug in and type "adb reboot bootloader" it will reboot to fastboot, if not, you do not have newest adb drivers, get this fixed before moving on. once in bootloader type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" this will just reboot your boot loader and let you know fastboot is working. If not fix this. next move to your directory with twrp and type "fastboot flash recovery twrp***.img" should only take 5 seconds. next type fastboot reboot to make sure system is still booting. Then type "adb reboot recovery" and it should go to twrp. Make sure you are getting the UL_CA twrp and not the whl. whl is for sprint and will not work. let me know. UL_CA is not available on official site. search the xda forums for it.
I actually tried the commands first and couldn't get it that's why I tried the toolkit. That's actually what ended up working for me though, but at least I'm good to go! I should have updated this a few days ago but forgot lol this thread can be locked if a mod wants to. Thanks all

I have a verizon galaxy s4 (SCH-I545). I flashed the NC5 onto the phone after rooting it. I tried to install Philztouch onto it, but something froze up/crashed during the process. I now do not have ANY type of recovery, and the phone goes directly into download mode when trying to boot recovery. :crying:
I deleted and/or frozen anything knox from the phone... it still operates even w/o knox or a recovery in it!!
My situation is that I have used odin to try flashing twrp and other recoveries to the phone. odin says it was successful, but it still has no recovery or doesn't boot into recovery, and I want to install some custom rom's onto it. there is no safestrap and I don't want it.
So, how to put the stock or any other recovery on this phone so I can add new roms???

thanks.

Even if I wanted to put safestrap on this phone, there is not any type of recovery in it to use to install safestrap or any other rom or recovery on it.
I have tried odin and it says it worked but will not boot into recovery, it goes directly to download mode. the phone runs, boots and has wifi, data, etc.
I want to know before I go into this if the pit file will work and not mess up things or should I try the entire process? The phone is working but NO RECOVERY IS INSTALLED ON IT AT ALL. (needed to emphasize this fact).

If all you are looking to do is install safestrap then you can just towelroot/superSU/BusyBox/safestrap. If you mean recovery mode, as in holding down the power, home, and volume up buttons when booting up the phone, I'm not sure how to get that back on if its missing.

I was on 4.3 then got the OTA update and tried to flash it back. it crashed the phone. Ii was stuck in download mode, and i flashed via Odin the NC5 full wipe on this forum then later rooted the phone. I tried to install Philz touch, but it crashed or froze up during the process... and viola!! NO RECOVERY WHATSOEVER IS ON THIS PHONE.
When I try holding down the power, home, and volume up buttons when booting up the phone, it goes straight to download mode no matter what button combination i use.
I don't care about stock or any warranty... that's over and I had this phone converted from Vzw to MetroPCS already.
I tried safestrap before and I don't like it. I need to somehow replace or install a recovery so I can put a rom into it. and I don't have to use safestrap if i can put twrp or something else into it. So, it is open for custom roms and i'm looking at SlimKat to install on this phone. Now, if somebody has a tar file I can flash with Odin... then it's all good.

If there was a way to go back from NC5, there would be a lot of happy people around here, but there isn't. Having recovery mode makes no difference because your on NC5 now. You can't flash TWRP, you can't flash CWM, Safestrap is it.

Download the stock recovery and flash it using flashify.
I did the same thing you did with a S5 because I didn't know about the boy loader issues and thought I had bricked it because it would only boy into download mode. But after turning it off for a few seconds I saw that it was able to bout into the stock rom. Luckily I made a backup of the stock recovery with flashify and flashed it back and it was fine.

So, are you saying to use Surge's full wipe and pit files and I can get back my stock recovery? or is there a link to what you are talking about? hook me up with that link.
I do not have any backups and I an get flashify no prob. but I am not sure it will work as you indicated.
how about Heimdall? will it work and do the things Odin isn't doing? I haven't used the program but have a copy of the files on my PC. I need a little guidance before I kill this phone forever.
l. tried flashify and rom installer... flashify says it found and backed up my stock recovery, but when I try to flash it back it says success and reboot. then it still goes into download mode and the little red letters say unable to do normal boot.
I can get back to normal boot and the phone runs. I tried the buttons to get into recovery mode, and it still goes to download mode. I also tried to flash twrp with rom installer and it also says successful but the same results>>> download mode only. WTF!!?
I seem to need a tar file for all of this to work and most of the roms are zip files except Surge's files. anybody have a link to tar files with the recoveries in it?
As has already been stated in this thread , if you're on the nc5 bootloader, you can't flash twrp or cwm or any other custom recovery. Even if you get the stock recovery back, it won't matter. SS is you're only option. There are a million posts on this issue. There are a number of custom roms that you can run, most are TW based though.
I just bought this phone off Amazon. It is unlocked. I'm running 5.0 stock. I've always carried a Samsung note and I'm fully aware of the rooting and roming etc.. Since this phone was bought out right will the bootloader be unlocked? Also I don't have a pc so I was hoping towelroot. But like I say,I'm new to Sony. Kingroot??

If your bootloader is unlocked, it'll behave much like a Nexus. Rooting won't be an issue ever, and all you'll have to do is to boot a kernel with recovery (CWM/TWRP) and flash SuperSU. Done.
It's a lot worse if you have a locked bootloader. You can find out if the bootloader is unlockable by dialing *#*#7378423#*#*, then go to --> "Service Info" --> "Configuration".
Bootloader unlock allowed - Yes << Means that your bootloader is locked, BUT it's unlockable.
Bootloader unlock allowed - No << Means that you can't unlock the bootloader
Bootloader Unlocked - Yes << Means that your bootloader is unlocked (which is unlikely on a new device)
The easiest way to unlock the bootloader is to get the unlock key directly from Sony, which is quick and easy, and then use Flashtool (on your computer) to unlock the bootloader. After that, happy flashing.
Do ask if you have any other questions.
I used the sequence you provided and it does say root status bootloader unlocked. My phone is international version
Happy flashing then.
If you only want an enhanced stock experience, flash any custom kernel built for stock 5.0 via fastboot, this will also give you recovery in which you can flash SuperSU and get root.
Or, if you want to try something different, AOSP-based ROMs like CM12.1 are also available. You need to unpack the kernel (boot.img) from the ROM zip and flash that using fastboot, in order to get the recovery that cones with the ROM. Then boot into that recovery and flash the ROM zip itself and reboot.
You can also install a semi-permanent TWRP recovery (i.e. won't change with your kernel), but I'll stop here and let you do your experiment.

Flash or hotboot a custom kernel that has recovery on it using fastboot or QuickIMG, boot and then press VOL UP when the LED turns on. It doesn't matter what kernel you use. I usually use a KitKat kernel with recovery since it has been laying around on my computer for years

Yeah, the LED will only light up once you have recovery, and since it doesn't have a recovery by default, it won't light up. You'll also need a computer to flash a custom kernel. Then you'll be able to either install a proper recovery (I recommend NUT's Dual Recovery, which will give you Philz Touch and TWRP), or just flash SuperSU and live with root (but no recovery).
BTW, what Android version are you on?
5.0.2... So once I have a pc hooked to it,there's a tool that'll push a recovery to the phone?

Okay, so I guess you haven't gotten the 5.1.1 update quite yet. Once you're on a computer,
1. Install Minimal ADB & Fastboot to install the needed tools
OR you can use QuickIMG, if the command line scares you.
2. Download NUT's Dual Recovery. Be sure to download the right version!
3. Put your device in Fastboot by holding VOL UP when you plug your Ultra to the computer. The LED will be BLUE
4. Flash the kernel and unplug your Ultra from the computer and boot it, and press VOL UP once your phone vibrates/LED light up
5. You're now in recovery, and it's now permanent (until you flash a different kernel), and flash SuperSU.
6. Reboot and you're done.
5. Create a thread or post a message only once.

It will say its updating the apps reboot and blank screen if i go to download mode it shows firmware update but nothing happens it stays at zero. Please help.
I think you got a few options since you are not bricked.
1. You can flash via lg bridge the KDZ for MM no root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3356412

Thanks for the reply, but for some reason my phone can't go to recovery or get recognized by my laptop as connected. It even goes to fastmode but nothing happens. I cant use adb or anything.
I think if you can do to fst boot mode your best chance it's option 2. If you follow the instructions of the link
You unlocked the bootloader, flash Twrp MM recovery, in recovery flash part 1 and 2, fast boot OEM unlocked again, reboot, load super su on the SD card, flash super su in recovery. Reboot.

So this is what i did to get to recovery somehow. backing up my data as we speak.
1. Pulled out battery, put it back in.
2. Held volume down button and power till LG logo comes on.
3. Release power for one second then held it again.
4. It asks me if i want to factory reset, select yes.
5. Boots into recovery.
will post more after backup is done.
Your situation is delicate because if the update went through you can not flash any LP rom because you will bricked.
Since you are able to get to recovery you should try a cm13 rom to get out of the boot loop or the rom I indicated before.

Hi. I got a rooted V10, H901.... I didn't install any update, no new software, just for no reason my phone went into bootloop, tried going in recover and hard reseting, everything failed. Then without hope i put it in freezer for 15 mins. Then when i switched ON it started loading the OS, after loading OS again restarted and went into loop mode. I pulled out the battery and left it in cupboard, Next day placed it in freezer for 30 mins and took out and forgot left it alone. In evening switched on and perfectly running till now. SO YES MAGIC
