Twrp download corrupted, anyone have working twrp.IMG?

[steven_computer_guy]

I was looking to root my moto g 4th gen. I already got the bootloader unlocked. I went here to download twrp on my computer https://dl.twrp.me/athene/ I download it and when I execute the following command in fastboot:

Fastboot flash recovery twrp.IMG (I rename the twrp file I downloaded so it wouldn't be as long) and it says it is corrupt. I also tried double clicking on the .IMG file in Windows to see if it will allow me to open it and windows tells me the IMG file is corrupt also. I tried downloading it a few times and it always gave the same error.

Does anyone have twrp-3.0.2-0-athene.img that isn't corrupted since the one on the twrp website won't work? Or maybe someone has an older version that will work?

Thanks!

That's the exact error? If you flash it and it says writing then says it's not signed it still flashed . Re flash it and without exiting bootloader scroll up to recovery mode and click it and then let me know what happens

It should give you that error if you try to open it with Windows. Are you sure when you renamed it you didn't name it twrp.img.img? I ask because I've done that before.

I'm pretty sure everyone is getting that error message when attempting to flash TWRP. Try going into Recovery Mode anyway.

I was have the same issue so in fast boot I just booted into twrp

fastboot boot twrp.img

I then installed SU and booted the phone.
At this point I had root, so I downloaded an App called Flashify (for root users) from the app store.
I created a backup of recovery then I used it to flash the TWRP image I had download.

This worked like a charm for me.

Why not, put your phone into fastboot mode, download this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369242689023 (Thanks to RootJunky aka Tom!) and extract the file, right click and run 1-Root-Moto-G-4th-Gen bat file that roots and installs twrp?

Works without any errors.

This worked. I have twrp on my moto g4 now and it is rooted which is what I ultimately wanted. Thanks for your help!

Greetings joemossjr...

I have to thank you very, very much, even though it's 4 years later

After doing the flash of TWRP, I followed the instructions you posted about going up to the Bootloader and voila! It actually booted into TWRP

Thank you again
