I have both SS and TWRP installed. So when I go into my stock rom SS is disabled that means I am on stock with TWRP for recovery. I havent flashed anything in safe or twrp yet. I did make a backup in TWRP. If I flash a rom in TWRP that is what would be in my stock slot in SS I think. So at that point why wouldnt SS still work? Unless TWRP and SS dont play nice together and wont let me flash unless I get rid of SS

Hey tucstwo, in V2 (which is the file I checked) there are a few things you'll want to change in the run.bat:

Each "dd" line (something like this):
adb shell "su -c 'dd if=/data/local/tmp/twrprecovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/twrprecovery' "

Needs the of=___ portion edited to be:
adb shell "su -c 'dd if=/data/local/tmp/twrprecovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery' "

(there's no partition named "twrprecovery", only "recovery")

I think there's 3 total lines in the script which need that fix:
#38: adb shell "su -c 'dd if=/data/local/tmp/twrprecovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/twrprecovery' "
#53: adb shell "su -c 'dd if=/data/local/tmp/cwmrecovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/cwmrecovery' "
#67: adb shell "su -c 'dd if=/data/local/tmp/motorecovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/motorecovery' "

GL.

ah thank you! You're very right. I rushed through this last night and that one flew right over my head.

Like I said to everyone last night, I am going to re-do this tool this AM just so sit tight people!

I used V1 and it worked but the first couple times I tried it I had a generic cord when I switched to a moto cord it worked.

V3 WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!! Excellent, BIG THANKS tucstwo!

[tucstwo]

I've updated the OP to version 3, the only version. It should work for everyone now.

[jasonjw12]

Tried v3 and get the following:


...............................................
Choose Which Recovery You Want to Flash or Exit
...............................................
1. Team Win Recovery
2. Clockworkmod Recovery
3. Stock Motorola Recovery
4. Exit
Chose 1, 2, 3 or 4 then press enter1
Connecting to your phone
Let's Do this
cannot stat 'twrprecovery.img': No such file or directory
/data/local/tmp/twrprecovery.img: cannot open for read: No such file or director
y
rm failed for /data/local/tmp/twrprecovery.img, No such file or directory
Complete
Press any key to continue . . .

After which I land on dead android/exclamation



EDIT: Tried a second time (decided not to run the bat as Administrator) and it worked, rebooted the device into TWRP.


Thanks!

Did you try pressing vol up and down on the dead android and the rec and if it works it will bring you to twrp

[fagioli]

I am confused. Can this be done on Linux or on the device itself or is this is a windows file?

[dstrainer]

Worked flawlessly. Thanks!

What he said ^^^^^^ wow!

[ndarmitage]

This worked perfectly for me. Note: I didn't have SS installed, just rooted/unlocked 4.1.2. Thanks to all involved!

We are in new territory here now. The days of bootstrap recoveries are over. It's time now to FINALLY be rid of that silly old Motorola Recovery.

How? I'm going to show you. It's quite easy. All you need to do is download this nifty little tool I made for you and it's easy as click.

Just make sure you've got your drivers installed, USB debugging is enabled and that you have UNZIPPED this package BEFORE you run it.

Important cause some people are having trouble with EITHER method here. Grab Root Explorer or ES File Explorer, browse to /system/etc/install-recovery.sh. Long press on it and rename it to install-recovery.sh.bak so that is't not called out in the future. Then follow along with the instructions below. I was am going to consolidate everything tomorrow. So long as you follow this step, you can just run Version 2.

Updated 4/8/13 20:17 EDT: For those who were having trouble or just want to try out the reloaded version. Download Version 2. It should get rid of the install-recovery.sh problem for those having issues with the recovery sticking. Please report errors so I can fix. Thank you

Updated 4/8/13 21:17 EDT: Updated TWRP to 2.5.0.0 for both flash methods

Updated 4/9/13 9:42 EDT: rewrote and consolidated. Thanks to Hashcode for locating a pretty big bug.

 

Thank you all for your help

You guys are making this wayyyyy to easy. Thank you!!

OKay so let me get this straight someone wasted time making a .bat file to flash a recovery and the .bat file itself takes longer to download than the recovery of choice? Why not just get the recoveries and rename them TWRP.img and CWR.img. And teach people to type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img as opposed to spoon feeding them? Want happened to forums being a place to learn that was the purpose and what this forum was supposed to be when it started.

Did you miss a dose today, or something?

Lighten up, my friend. There are instructions out there for folks who wish to walk alone, and those who like a bit of hand-holding. As both are for the finding, why so glum? The person "wasting their time" is doing it for their own enjoyment and value add to the community - and they and others are quite good at it. And, what they do is very appreciated.
