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
For the life of me I can not get my wife's phone into bootloader mode. I have read tons of threads that all say to either hold down power and vol down OR plug in the usb cord (connected to computer) while holding the vol down button.
The power+vol down results in the recovery mode and the other causes a vibration then goes to the %charging screen.
I have adb working cause it returns the device number and also reboots... BUT neither <adb reboot recovery> OR <adb reboot-bootloader> does anything but reboot normally.
Here's the deal, I am trying to get her stock phone to run Android Pay but it fails the safety net. There is a chance that I unlocked the bootloader but without having access to fastboot I can't run <fastboot getvar unlocked> to check.
So my questions are:
Is there some way to get into fastboot that I am missing?
Is there a way to know if the bootloader is unlocked besides fastboot command?
Any thoughts on reasons a stock phone would fail safety net besides the unlocked bootloader is welcome also.
Thanks.
PS. This V-10 in nothing like ny Nexus phones. LOL
Hello out there!
I've got a big problem: I just tried to root my device. But after I typed in "fastboot oem unlock" into Windows PowerShell, the device disconnects from the computer. I had to hold the volume down+power button to get out of the fastboot mode.
Is there anybody, who can help me or have an opinion, why this didn't work?
Thank you

Thiru, A6600 has a problem where the volume key does not work in recovery mode. This problem stems from the underlying Mediatek chipset. I have two A6600 where I am stuck with the same problem of unlocking. I am unable to navigate with volume buttons. And xda comments generally blame the Mediatek chipset and says it is not fixable
