Hi,
I downloaded the 3.1.1 package and flashed i, like this:
Code:
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img 
(bootloader) Variable not supported!
(bootloader) Variable not supported!
target reported max download size of 104857600 bytes
sending 'recovery' (9224 KB)...
OKAY [  1.272s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [  1.427s]
finished. total time: 2.700s
$
If I now boot my motorola xt890 it shows the "warning bootloader unlocked" message. And that's it. Before I had nothing changed (so this is the first attempt with this phone).
I can reboot with power+volume lower keys. Then it boots to the same screen.

fastboot and adb do not recognize it in this screen.

Help and Advice appreciated. Thanks

got into bootloader menu with pressing a second time the volume down button. With this the message "warning ... unlocked" disapeared and the bootloader menu showed up and was recognised by adb.


yeah i can't boot into latest either.. anyone have a copy of 3.0.2.0 twrp img handy? i can no longer boot to recovery

For those with boot problems, u most likely need to update your bootloader. See First Post for instructions

Thanking posts can be a bit off-putting for the lack of real content. But, in any case, I had to thank Hazou directly for his great help in giving my old Razr i a second life. Great work you've done!

I'm used to flash roms and root phones for a long time but this phone became a nightmare since i got it from a friend. Nothing works when i try to install twrp or cmw. fastboot gives me bootloader error (variable not supported) and the mfastboot that doenst give me any error will not boot into recovery. In both cases the phone turns off like there is no recovery installed. I updated the bootloader as the post says (motoboot) but it is still the same.
Procedures i do are:
- boot into bootloader (in my case i have to do this via adb cause phone doesn't accept the "power + vol -" combination in any circunstance)
- flash recovery via fastboot or mfasboot that i got in here (twrp 3.2.1)
- fastboot shows: "(bootloader) Variable not supported!" while the same command in mfastboot doesn't give me any errors
- In both cases it looks like it was installed:

D:\motorola\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(bootloader) Variable not supported!
target reported max download size of 104857600 bytes
sending 'recovery' (8468 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.102s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.218s]
finished. total time: 2.320s

D:\motorola\adb>mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (8468 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.170s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.166s]
finished. total time: 2.336s

- boot into bootloader again righ after the recovery instalation so i can go back to fastboot screen to select the recovery boot
- phone try to reboot but shutdown like there is no recovery installed.

It is a Moto Razr i xt890 with Kitkat 4.4.2. any lights on that?

Tks!

Edit: after all i wrote i discovery that i needed to select the recovey meny trought volume + button. I can get into twrp now. Tks!

Thank you so much! But I ran into a problem...
I flashed it with adb fastboot, and when I reboot into recovery from the fastboot menu, the touch screen does not respond at all. So I can't swipe to allow modifications, or swipe to unlock :/ what could be wrong here? In the normal UI, touch does work fine...

A 3.2.3 TWRP from the Cyanogenmod 16 thread just threw me into a black screen. I used to have 2.8.x working, but I can't find the file to flash anymore. This is really frustrating...

    Boot problems? U most likely still have the ICS bootloader on the device. But I and @tablord already tackled this issue some time ago:

    Download this: https://github.com/HazouPH/smi_patch...e/motoboot.zip

    Now:
    -reboot in bootloader
    - "fastboot oem fb_mode_set"
    - "fastboot flash motoboot motoboot"
    - "fastboot reboot-bootloader"
    - "fastboot oem fb_mode_clear"

    It seems like, here is what i get:
    Code:
    Installing '/external_sd/clockworkmod/RazRi_JB_X-M7_FO-Test.zip'...
    Checking for MD5 file...
    I:Cannot find file /external_sd/clockworkmod/RazRi_JB_X-M7_FO-Test.zip.md5
    Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
    script aborted: assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "smi" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "smi"
    assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "smi" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "smi"
    E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/external_sd/clockworkmod/RazRi_JB_X-M7_FO-Test.zip'
    Error flashing zip '/external_sd/clockworkmod/RazRi_JB_X-M7_FO-Test.zip'

    I'm on Retail Central Europe "CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU" with Omar JB-X Rom, if that helps.

    Ah, I know the problem. Will fix it asap. In the mean time u can delete those lines (the first 2 lines) from the update-scirpt in the zip files. Sorry for that.

    BTW, i can make this improvement work on cwm. But it will take some time and testing.

    Windows installer to flash TWRP recovery

    I made a simple Windows installer to flash TWRP recovery (and to restore stock recovery or CWM Recovery).
    This installer is adapted from @mattlgroff CWM installer (thanks for his work : all credits for him !)

    I only cleaned the code and adapted it to be used with TWRP.
    You can download it here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=41479852#post41479852
