I have the XT1022 Moto E model. I recently upgraded from Kitkat 4.4.4 to Lollipop 5.0.2 using an Indian retail version of the stock ROM (Condor retail version) and the adb sideload method on Ubuntu 14.04. The Lollipop update is working in excellent condition. However, I wanted to try the Paranoid Android ROM and tried to enter into the recovery mode for trying out the adb sideload method. However, what I found was that I cannot enter the recovery mode. I was able to do so for a few times after I installed the Lollipop update, but then I suddenly stopped being able to do so. The method I had been following was Power+Volume Down for 5 sec to enter the bootloader, select the recovery option, and press volume up for 15-20 sec and press and release the power key while holding down the volume up button.
I though that I might have wiped the stock recovery during the upgrade, so I wanted to unlock bootloader and install a TWRP custom recovery. However, I was unable to unlock the bootloader, as I am unable to connect fastboot mode in Ubuntu when the phone is in the bootloader/fastboot mode ($ fastboot devices command in Ubuntu terminal window showed no devices. When phone is on, $ adb devices shows that my phone is connected. Also, USB debugging is on).
Can anyone help me with this issue?

Have you tried running the fastboot commands as root to rule out this being caused by a permission issue?

Thanks for that. That was mighty stupid of me not to try that. I tried the sudo command in Ubuntu and it did work. I have root

Hi,
I am trying to see if I can spring an old Karbonn Titanium s2 back to life by installing a compatinble Cyanogen OS in it if I can find one.
I have ADB and FastBoot installed in my Windows 7 PC.
Now the problem I am facing is I just cant boot this damn thing into Fastboot mode.
So,When I do this
adb reboot bootloader
The phone simply reboots. Literally. Reboots.
On the other hand, commands like
adb reboot recovery
works just fine.
Its just the reboot bootloader command that isnt working, which is halting my endeavor at the very first step because I cant unlock a bootloader that is invisible and so I cant install a custom recovery in it.
Any Help??
Thanks in advance.
P.S: The device runs Android JB and is rooted.
I am very new to this, I rooted my Moto G4 and now I need to download SUHide in order to play Pokemon Go. When I try to enter recovery via my fastboot/abd folder I get a < waiting for any device > message. When I hold down the power + volume down button my phone just turns on as normal without entering bootloader even though my bootloader is unlocked. I tried downloading an app that loads recovery for me but when I tried that I got a "no command" screen with a little green robot.
From what I've read, it's possible I didn't flash my trwp properly? I don't know how this is possible since I just rooted my phone. I would appreciate some help, I'm afraid to take any random guesses at the risk of ruining my phone. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious or not giving enough info, I'm not very tech savvy.

Try power plus volume up button to go to fastboot mode.
If it not working then connect your android to pc and enable adb. Type "adb devices" enter then type "adb reboot bootloader" and enter. It boots your android in fastboot mode.
If adb commands not working then install adb and fastboot drivers and try again.

In most devices, volume up + power boots up the recovery options, volume down + power boots the device into fastboot mode (volume buttons first plus power, pressing power button first would boot the device normally).

How did you install the custom recovery? Try flashing the recovery.img again (I'm guessing, since you have root, that you did not "flash" (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) TWRP but just "boot" (fastboot boot recovery.img) it and installed SuperSU).

Okay, so that did work, and I was able to enter fastboot mode. However, once I scrolled down to "recovery mode" and tried to enter, I got the same "no command" screen.

I used the official moto g4 root guide on this website to root my phone and I'm pretty sure I booted, not flashed, the recovery img (mine is named twrp-3.0.2-0-athene). So, I tried using the command you provided to flash the recovery img and I got a < waiting for any device > message in the command prompt. My phone is plugged in and my recovery img is in the adb / fastboot folder. Any idea what this means? Thank you for the help guys
edit: If it helps to know this, my phone has usb debugging enabled and it is recognized by my pc. I type adb devices and my moto g4 serial number does indeed show up.

If you are trying to flash twrp recovery on your android then rename your twrp to recovery.
Boot your android in fastboot mode,
Navigate to folder that you have recovery. Press shift and right click and click on open command here and type "fastboot devices" and enter
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
It flash your recovery to your android.

Did all that, getting:
(bootloader) slot-count: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) has-slot:recovery: not found
error: cannot load 'recovery.img'
Also, per the suggestion of other users on these forums, I tried to hold down power and press volume up during the "no command" screen after attempting to enter recovery. That sent me into Android Recovery but it's not the twrp platform I used when originally rooting my phone.
How did you unlock the bootloader? have you tried: fastboot oem unlock?
You need to "allow oem unlocking" on developer options (which I guess you already did). Then reboot in bootloader: (a) adb reboot bootloader. In fastboot, you need to unlock the bootloader first: (b) fastboot oem unlock (or unlock-go). Then you can try to flash that recovery.img: (c) fastboot flash recovery "name of the file.img"
edit: fastboot oem unlock restores the device to factory settings. You need to configure and enable again "usb debugging" and "oem unlocking" (which are disabled by default). You can then proceed to fastboot flash
hello
Yesterday my WileyFox Spark+ came in, which is still equipped with COS13.0.1, based on Android 6.0.1 and encrypted.
For disable encryption,i had followed the following process:
- factory reset whith sitting and recovery mode,
but without result because turned out the phone was encrypted with a startup pattern already from the box.
As I was unable to root my device, I have used adb and fastboot to install twrp with the commands :
adb reboot-recovery
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
Then I press to volume down button to display the recovery menu but, instead of displaying the menu, the device boot again and again until I'm tired and I release the button. Then the phone boot normaly on Android...
Any idea how i should progress further?
Thanks for the help.
I am unable to boot into recovery when the power is off with volume down + power on, it just boots in to bootloader.
I always have to connect to pc and do a fastboot reboot recovery.
Is there any other way or am I doing something wrong?
I have the same problem. I have the nord2 (eu) version and I have installed the Indian version of Android 12. After this procedure I can't enter fastboot mode either with the key combination or with the adb commands. Furthermore, the possibility to install packages has disappeared from the bootloader, I can only delete the data or restart the smartphone.

Hello i wanted to ask about this since i dont see any other thread related to my issue, im trying to install magisk root and im at the stage of accessing fastboot/bootloader, when i go to recovery mode and select "reboot to bootloader" it just restarts the phone, i have tried adb commands didnt work either, same result, just restarts. The "unlock oem" option under developer options is enabled, i could flash another firmware of the same phone with SPD upgrade tool and its still not letting me get into bootloader, (to do this i must press down vol down and connect the usb while the program is on, and it is detected, otherwise it just restarts adb and fastboot tools will not detect it as download mode) any idea or suggestions on how I could root the phone, been thinking about twrp but not sure it would let me install that, looked into many pages about rooting this device and none show anything related maybe its not possible, i saw there are phones with blocked bootloader. the phone is android 9
Have you tried to
- flash the boot.img from the stockfirmware;
- install a recovery (twrp, orangefox, etc.) and rebooted to fastboot from recovery?

TWRP and orangefox dont support my phone, there may be something unnoficial for twrp as i search and im not sure i can flash the phone with a specific boot file since to flash i use a single .pac file that contains the rom ill look into this
For now im not able to flash the phone with custom boot.img or recovery.img maybe i need to pack specific files i dont know about i give up for today
