[TWRP][BRICK] Motorola Moto G LTE 2013 Peregrine - Fail entering Recovery Mode

[silencefalls]

Hi everyone,

I had a big iussue with my phone (Motorola X10T39).
I installed LineageOS 14.1, and I recently updated it at the version 14.1-20180908.
All worked fine, but after the update I lost root privilege.
After that, I updated my TWRP recovery from the version 3.1.0-0 to the version 3.2.3-0, flashing the image(.img) in recovery mode.
The file I flashed was correct, and the phone still boot properly.
But when I turn on the phone in fastboot mode and try to select recovery I get error:

"Invalid boot image size! failed to validate recovery image Boot failed"

What can I do to fix it?

Thanks

Try these steps in order, stopping if a particular works.
- Ensure you installed the correct TWRP image for Peregrine, not for Falcon.
- Try entering fastboot mode manually, if you didn't already try to: Turn off the cell phone, then press and hold the Volume Down button for couple of seconds and while still holding Volume Down button press the Power button for a little bit and then release both buttons at the same time.
- If you updated TWRP with the Official TWRP app, try flashing it manually in fastboot mode: fastboot flash recovery TWRP image name, copied exactly. If you did flash it manually, try installing via the Official app.
- Make sure your downloads for both the Rom and TWRP image are not corrupted - re-download with md5 sum checks and re-flash with verification.
- Backup all your data (including on SD Card) and clean flash TWRP & the rom again (i.e., wipe System, cache, Dalvik cache and format/wipe Data - important).
- If issue persists, re-flash the previous version of the TWRP or rom, depending on which one is the culprit, and report to developer.

This thread is quite old (around 2 years old). But nevertheless, I am sharing my experience so that it may help someone facing similar problem. I have a Moto G 1st Gen Falcon which was running Lineage OS 14.1 based on Android 7.1.2. I was planning to update it to Android 10 based Unofficial Lineage OS. I downloaded latest TWRP zip to update existing TWRP. I rebooted into TWRP and flashed the zip. It installed perfectly. Then to check it attempted to reboot into recovery. But it instead went to fastboot mode with the error "Invalid boot image size! failed to validate recovery image Boot failed". I tried botting into recovery but was not working. I tried flashing through adb a different file but it was not working. Then what worked was booting into recovery using the command Fastboot boot recovery recovery.img. After that I was able to flash Android 10 and now everything is working perfectly.
