As already noted, TWRP has never worked with 10. If you are on 9 then head over to the dedicated TWRP thread and get yourself up to speed.
if on android 9 it would be fastboot boot twrp. img. (if on Pie)
A/B slot devices don't have a dedicated recovery partition. (reason why flashing to recovery didn't work)
Android 10 doesn't have working TWRP yet. ( can't decrypt data or something)
I have Motorola One Action w/ Android 10 running. I need to root this phone to recover the data. However, when following the instruction, I received the following error message.
C:\adb>fastboot boot TWRP-3.3.1_Motorola_One_Vision.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.118s]
booting...

Can anyone help me what to do?
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi!!
I have a model XT2013-1. I was having the same problem as you, so I updated TROIKA-RETBR on 02/22/2020.
After updating, I did the procedure of this link "https://forum.xda-developers.com/one-action/how-to/twrp-magisk-root-motorola-one-action-t3975883", skipping the step "8.2- Now tap on Wipe> Format Data> Type Yes and go back to the home screen again. " This step gave me the looping error.
Now root works perfect !!
Thank you very much. I will try it.

It's A/B device so it doesn't have dedicated recovery partition. It's inside boot.img.
Use fastboot boot twrp.img
Once booted to twrp, you can use the twrp installer zip to flash twrp recovery ramdisk to your boot.img for permanent installation.

Did you follow all instructions from twrp thread. like flashing modified vbmeta and wipe data before booting twrp?
Also take a look at the original thread for one vision as it has a newer zip that contains only one modified vbmeta.img instead of two different ones in the older zip that is posted in one action's twrp thread.
I rooted using fastboot, I could never get into TWRP to flash anything.
In fastboot, I flashed the modified vbmeta.img, then flashed the magisk patched boot img file (I created this with magisk), then flashed the patched vbmeta.img file, then did a fastboot wipe.
Rebooted, set up the phone, installed magisk manager and opened, it needed to update some files. Rebooted, and the device was rooted.

Thank you very much for your input. You must be an expert! WOW! Sorry I am not that expert........ Would you mind explaining (1) how to modify vbmeta.img and (2) how to patch boot.img? It is very impressive to read what you have done, but sorry I am still a beginner. Also, when I flash, "fastboot flash (File Name)" ok?
Thank yuo very much for your help.

You don't need to modify vbmeta.img. I am using the older version of the root Moto Vision package, which has a vbmeta.img file, and a patched vbmeta.img file.
For the modified boot img, I downloaded the full image from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/troika/official/
Extract, and then take the boot.img file, you will want that saved to a phone that has Magisk installed.
Follow these instructions to patch
https://www.ytechb.com/how-to-patch-a-file-in-magisk-manager/
Once you have that, you will want that patched file into the fastboot directory on your computer. You will also want the vbmeta and the patched vbmeta img files (from the root moto vision package) in this directory. I have not used the updated version, I am using the older. I don't know about using the newer package which only has 1 vbmeta file.
Put your phone into fastboot mode.
Flash the vbmeta.img file, then the magisk patched boot file, then the vbmeta patched file. Then do a fastboot wipe of the phone.
Reboot the phone.
Set it up again, install magisk manager, then open it, and it should ask to configure. Let it do that, it should reboot and after that, you should be rooted.

I guess goofball2k detailed reply might have helped by now. On the other hand, I'm just curious to know that the next time you or anyone else for that matter face the same issue, please flash the stock firmware (using any of the Android 10 tools from here ) at that instance, then again start the same process and let me know whether you succeed or not (you will still have to execute the fastboot boot twrp command around 4-8 times, but during all these attempts, you should now get the success message, and after x number of attempts, you should succeed). So in short, if flashing the stock firmware after that error helps you out, do let me know
Thank you

You aren't flashing, your command is trying to boot from vbmeta.img. You are missing the flashing command.
Hello, I've been trying to install TWRP on my 5z (ZS620KL).
Whenever I try to use the "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", I get the output:
Sending 'recovery' (25244 KB) OKAY [ 0.596s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: '(recovery_b) No such partition')
I tried switching to the other partition using:
"fastboot --set-active=a" and "fastboot --set-active=b"
But it lead to no change whatsoever.
I'll be very thankful for any suggestions
Can provide any additional info, if needed
fastboot flash boot boot.img is the command you are looking for
Obviously you need you download the boot image and twrp zip for the version you are looking to install

Thanks in advance.
Hello guys,
Please help me because I'm stuck. I'm trying to install latest TWRP on my OP5 with no success. Let me tell you what I tried.
- I'm running on OOS 10.0.1
- sucessfully installed ADB and drivers on Windows 10.
- sucessfully unlocked bootloader
Then I downloaded latest TWRP, renamed it to twrp.img and placed it in a folder where ADB and fastboot are. Device is seen in both ADB and fastboot.
When in fastboot I tried first the command:
C:\>fastboot boot twrp.img
fastboot: error: cannot load 'twrp.img': No such file or directory
then I googled and tried with file directory:
C:\>fastboot flash recovery c:\adb\twrp.img
Sending 'recovery' (35228 KB) OKAY [ 1.025s]
Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.164s]
Finished. Total time: 1.220s
The second command with direct source I tried both using USB 3.0 and via USB hub and it doesn't work. When I reboot to recovery it enters to the stock OP recovery and no sign of TWRP.
Can you please help me?
Thanks in advance!
Maciej
Hi, i could be misreading your steps but have you tried renaming the twrp image to twrp and then try fast booting with twrp.img again. It may be that by including the .img in the file name it is looking for twrp.img.img.
I'm no ADB expert but that may be all that's needed as it reads like everything else is working as should from my limited experience.
I have been trying and failing to get TWRP installed on my Pixel 3a XL running Android 9 stock image
Trying the recommended install instructions from the TWRP website, I keep getting the following error;
Code:
C:\platform-tools>fastboot boot twrp.img
Sending 'boot.img' (65536 KB) FAILED (Write to device failed (no link))
fastboot: error: Command failed
C:\platform-tools>fastboot recovery twrp.img
fastboot: usage: unknown command recovery
C:\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Sending 'recovery' (65536 KB) FAILED (Write to device failed (no link))
fastboot: error: Command failed
I have ensured the bootloader is unlocked, I have updated drivers from the OEM package, I can see devices properly with fastboot and adb, and I've even flashed stock images with fastboot. I've tried looking up this error, but all results point to solutions that don't work, or deleted posts. If anyone has some insight, I'd very much appreciate it.
Update to the latest version of Android or try an older version of TWRP. The latest version of TWRP doesn't like Android 9 (possibly other versions as well).
I believe this was the last update for twrp on android 9
