There are buttons on the reboot page and under backup -> options to change slots. TWRP will detect whichever slot is currently active and use that slot for backup AND restore. This device has 2 "slots" for ROMs / firmware. This is clearly outlined in the thread where you got your image from: G7 Power, being a new device, has the new A/B partition layout, requiring new installation procedures that differ from standard A-only devices. How can I flash this image onto the recovery partition of my phone? The phone, however, switched from the bootloader screen to the Motorola splash screen, and then just shut off with no further response. So, I ran this in the terminal window: fastboot boot twrp-3.3.0-0-river.img So, I decided to see if I could boot into the TWRP image directly without flashing it. I can only surmise that whatever was originally on my recovery partition from the manufacturer has been wiped and there is now nothing on the recovery partition at all. My phone's OS seems to operate perfectly fine. The words "No Command" were displayed underneath the graphic.Īfter waiting a few minutes, the phone, on its own, booted normally.
#Fastboot flash recovery not seeing image android#
What I got was a screen displaying the Android mascot on its back with its chest plate opened and a black exclamation point inside a red triangle. When I tried to use fastboot to flash the image, I got this error:Īfter this failed attempt, I attempted to put my phone into recovery just to see what would happen. I'm trying to flash twrp-3.3.0-0-river.img, a new image that I grabbed from here.

The next step is to flash a custom recovery application on the recovery partition. I've managed to unlock the bootloader using Motorola's online instructions and the adb and fastboot utilities that come with Linux. I also have Ubuntu 19.04 running on my desktop. I've got a brand new Motorola Moto G7 Power running Android 9.
