Ok, first off, I have everything I needed installed, I have a Verizon model, its unlocked, rooted, etc... did all that good stuff and was running great.

Problem I'm having now is, well that last thing I done was installed 7.1.2 which was a week or so ago. I'm still running stock but now I noticed I try and go to recovery and I get a No Command, so I figured TWRP for some reason didn't get installed again.

Its crazy and confusing how twrp installs but erases supersu, then supersu installs but erases twrp or whatever, I don't understand that at all. so I'm figuring that's what happened and twrp is not installed considering I'm getting the "No Command" when I try to enter recovery, correct??

Next, I got my phone connected to computer through usb and ADB see its fine as long as the phone is ON, when I reboot to bootloader, ADB doesn't see that phone any more.

What I was planning on doing was reinstalling twrp so I have a recovery, but I cant do that if ADB isn't seeing my phone. So I'm kind of stuck at the moment, I tried updating drivers, blah bla
and don't know what else to try so I figured Id post here again.

If twrp is installed and the no command is something else please help me through to get it back to where I need it to be, I appreciate it.

Thanks!

I think when you're in bootloader you have to use fastboot instead of adb. Try "fastboot devices" and see if it lists anything. You may also need to unplug/replug the USB cable after the phone reboots.

Hello,
@stevexyz0 statement is correct, you have to use fastboot commands in bootloader...

You said you installed 7.1.2

How did you proceed? OTA, flash-all method? TWRP likely got overwritten by stock 7.1.2 boot.img since recovery is now part of the boot.img...

If you want to reinstall TWRP and root, proceed this way:

Download SuperSU and place it in the root of internal storage

https://download.chainfire.eu/1021/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip

Download TWRP IMG and ZIP RC1:

https://dl.twrp.me/marlin/twrp-3.0.2-0-RC1-fastboot-marlin.img

https://dl.twrp.me/marlin/twrp-pixel-installer-marlin-3.0.2-0-RC1.zip

Place the zip in the root of internal storage

Reboot to bootloader,

Open a command prompt and Boot TWRP RC1 IMG:

fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-RC1-fastboot-marlin.img

Once your phone is in TWRP, choose install and install twrp-pixel-installer-marlin-3.0.2-0-RC1.zip

After that, install SuperSU zip.

Reboot, done. :)

Cheers...
