Hey everyone
I'm trying to root my XT1097 (Canadian on Wind Mobile) but I cant seem to get TWRP to install. Everytime I try to boot into recovery it just boots normally. I have been searching these forums (and the internet) for days and can't seem to find a solution. I did see one mention of some devices automatically replacing a custom recovery when trying to boot into recovery for the first time and needing to hold a specific key combo while booting to prevent this but as near as I can tell this device is not one of them. It sure seems to be acting that way though, am I missing something?
Here is the info
Moto X 2014 XT1097 on Wind Mobile in Canada
Unlocked bootloader
Dev options on with USB debugging enabled
"twrp-3.0.2-1-victara.img" is the file I am trying to use from the twrp website, which I believe is the correct one
I enter the following in cmd
E:\Programs\Android>fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.328s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.251s]
finished. total time: 0.578s
and it reboots normally. If I try this:
E:\Programs\Android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (9160 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.328s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.407s]
finished. total time: 0.734s
Then select recovery on the phone, it just shuts off.
It says "Mismatched partition size (recovery)" in pink when I flash the recovery image but I read that that can be ignored if you use the first method.
Any help would be great!
