TWRP is a portable way
some people are scared of using fastboot + this way they can keep twrp without the firmware not liking it + the TWRP installation is much faster but this method is mainly for people who want to keep twrp without needing to modify anything, are scared of fastboot or want to do a quick install

Sometimes people don't want to do all the steps for going back to stock so having a flashable zip it's a bit faster and easier.
@Livi-Tech when I did flashable stock people had issues getting zip booted so I disabled dm verity and force encrypt from kernel but you can attach this to the main post so people don't run into the same issues.

It is, I wouldn't create something that didn't have a point to it, me personally I hate using fastboot because watching all the commands run kind of scares me a bit knowing something could go wrong
Fastboot
1) got to connect usb cable, open up command prompt, make sure the device is recognized
2) wrong command could mess stuff up
3) take ages
4) got to type in loads of commands
TWRP
1) portable method
2) automatic install
3) system doesn't play if you make modifications, flash any system modifying files, etc
4) much much faster than fastboot by miles

why do you avoid fastboot ( I already know some reasons someone might but curious about your reasons )
you've used fastboot before to unlock bootloader?
I've even tried fastboot erase all and all it wiped was data, System, cache so my device was perfectly okay,the Moto G5 bootloader seems more protected than other phones
and no I don't I was going to upload one but I bumped into problems on my device ( unrelated )

I have used fastboot a few times with sumsung devices but at present I have windows 10 and seem to get nowhere with it and yes I unlocked my bootloader I used one click root company to root and flash twrp £29 i think it's an XDA set up thing you give them permission to take over your computer and even their engineer nearly gave up after about 2 hours. I have used kingroot and Odin many time and persisted until success but with Moto G5 I surrendered and got help for the sake of time and energy. Plus your original post I thought said it was for people who struggle with fastboot. Like I said there is a stock zip available and it worked via twrp. If you can't upload them should you not delete the thread? Thanks:good:

I need someone to test ( not just the normal it boots up test because I already know it boots up and everything works )
My bootloader already says status: modified and right now I have an IMEI problem which is preventing me from making and receiving calls/texts, I won't upload my versions until I know they aren't going to trip the bootloader status or cause the same call/text problems I have for people who flash it
which is why i'm looking for a tester who doesn't care if their bootloader changes from official to modified and doesn't care if they lose ability to call and text.
with your fastboot Issue, could you have a look on my instructions in my [fastboot] thread and tell me if you get fastboot to recognize your phone, i'm not asking you to flash anything, just asking if you could use those instructions and see if fastboot picks up your Moto G5, ( i'm curious as to why your having so much trouble as I am also on windows 10 ) also currently what rom are you using on your Moto G5?

Hard brick for OPT happens when you change critical partitions. It will follow improper firmware flash or accidental erase of certain partitions. The phone won't show any response when hardbricked.
The solution for OPT is similar to OPO - you just need a Qualcomm driver and a recover package. The only full recovery package available is very big and it restore the phone to Hyrdogen OS, with everything wiped. So it would not be very attractive.
Fortunately, thanks to this post from Chinese supporting forum, a minimal version of restore package is provided. It does not wipe user data and guarantee a recovery entry. you would normally be freed using this package. if not, please use the full package in the end of the post
Download link for driver
Download link for Recovery tool
uncompress the files to a local folder.
First step, turn off drive signature enforcement in windows 8/8.1/10. Tutorial Here
Second step, hold the power key for 20 seconds to force turn off power. connect OPT to usb, hold volume+ and power until your PC finds a new hardware (if it doesn't work, try hold volume+ and volume- together)
Third step, go to device manager in your PC, find the new "QUALCOMM-HS USB Diagnostics 9006" device. Update its driver in property page using the Qualcomm driver provided (for 32bit windows, select x86 folder; for 64bit windows, select x64 folder).
Fourth step, when the driver is installed properly, run MSM8994DownloadTool.exe in the recover tools folder, using admin privileges . Clear start in top left corner and wait for it to finish.
Now your OPT should be able to enter TWRP recovery. It still won't boot but you can manually flash anything again (like the full Oxygen OS package).
The procedure is tested by me twice. Enjoy!
p.s: sorry the recovery image in the A2001_save_brick_mini.rar is Chinese. Please download this file, change the name to recovery.img and substitute the file in the recovery tool before flashing.
UPDATE：full Oxygen OS 150805 restoration package for those who experience recovery entry problem. Note that this package wipes everything including internal storage!
Awesome, I will go ahead and make a full recovery tool that includes these files as well as the latest version of OxygenOS as I did with the Oneplus one.
You write about a full Oxygen Package? What do you mean with it? a flashable .zip or fastboot .img?

Hi,
anyone knows how I can force the OnePlus Two to enter QUALCOMM-HS mode?
I have a "semi-bricked" OP2.
It can boot, but the recovery is broken and I cannot enter it anymore. Worse enough, the bootloader is locked and I cannot unlock it anymore.
So I am kinda stuck and thought this manual would bring me back recovery. But - I cannot get it to enter this specific emergency recovery mode as boot loaders are intact.
Any idea?
Thanks
Andi

Hi,
ok, I am one step further now.
I could bring the device in that mode, flashed via this recovery tool. All partitions were flashed but still no recovery. How can that be? ooops.
I did that many time on my OPO already successfully. But of course with the full recovery package.
So question is, I would not mind starting from scratch... anybody knows where the "big" recovery package that erases everything is available?
Thanks

I'm in a similar situation to you. I lost my recovery and somehow my boot loader is locked again. I can't set OEM unlock as I am on the old version of OxygenOS.
I tried the above instructions but they don't work. The phone reboots as normal, not in to recovery. If you solve this then let me know.
EDIT: I think flashing hydrogenos using this method is the best idea. We can then select the OEM unlock from developer settings, use fastboot to unlock the bootloader and flash a new recovery. The question is how? @qwsdert4

Hi, I got the "big recovery package" in question from OP support centre in China. It will recover your OPT to factory Hydrogen OS from which you could start over. I'll upload it onto Mega very soon so stay tuned.

HydrogenOS definitely has the option because it is how I flashed TWRP in the first place

Precisely, that is exactly what I meant. Fingers crossed that will solve this.
It could be I successfully recoverd following a hint by user @Zyxxeil (many thanks for the help).
If all works I will post soon what I did.
But - have everything running now again. Next I try to flash twrp again and root. If that worked, I will post the steps.

Welcome to Twrp 3.0.0.0 for our Zenwatch 2's
This release I was able to flash the recovery, flash the supersu zip, and flash some others, so far I have not encountered our wild soft brick madness.
Thanks to @acbka for showing me how to get into log files, essentially helping me figure out why the partitions were not mounting correctly when I compiled and recompiled.
Here is TWRP 3.0.0.0
Directions:
Get into fastboot, either by enabling adb by enabling developer options going into settings, about, and taping the Build number 8 times, and going back, down to developer options and enable ADB Debugging.
Then you can type into your CMD or terminal adb reboot-bootloader or by powering down by holding the button or power down in settings, when the screen goes black, repress and hold the button and swipe the screen from the upper left down to the lower right and that should bring up the ASUS logo with CSC Fastboot Mode! on the screen
continue to boot the recovery by typing fastboot flash recovery twrp3.img
OR load up your tethered twrp and flash the image under that.
Hope you guys enjoy! So far I have not encountered soft bricks so it should be safe and sound
thank you, will test now

Works perfectly, my zenwatch 2 is now rooted
thank you, you`re amazing
Thank you very much! I hope this will be one of the first steps into advanced development for our watches! Does this work for WI502Q? But what's a benefit of rooting this watch?

That im not sure, it might, wouldnt hurt to fastboot boot it and see if itll start twrp. I have the 501
Root will go with modifying the Momentum kernel so you wont have much lag on the watch, and any other root modifications that can go with it, like maybe xposed?
Next step in development is fixing twrp so it can be flashed, then maybe modifying the wear os? Or maybe porting some stuff

what did u flash to get root? the one twrp offers (if this one does)? the one xda tv featured for 5.0.1 wear http://www.xda-developers.com/root-android-wear-5-0-1-xdatv/ ? or just the newest non-systemless supersu.zip used for phones? with a phone i would just flash away anything. but im a bit hestitant on the watch yet. couldnt find clear info yet.
Awesome! Got supersu flashed and was able to use Advanced Settings to disable some of the built-in bloatware apps. I'll have to try out the kernel but I'm currently at work and don't want to spend all day messing around with my watch (well... I want to, but I like not getting fired).

You can tell twrp to preserve the system protection, back every single thing up that you can in the twrp option, push that backup to your computer, and then you can disable system protection. twrp itself wont do anything, however playing with options will modify the watch.
OR you can fastboot pull things off the watch, the system.img and boot.img yourself, in case the ones uploaded in my general thread didnt have the protection enabled.
If you want to hang tight until 1.4 comes out, that can be a good thing too
And im not sure if there is something like that on the watch. I have not seen anything about it before
My attempt was a failure on my WI502Q. I got the following messages. And, OP, how do you pull system.img from a device through fastboot? I thought you needed root permission to do that through adb.
"
C:\adb\zw2>fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.381s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: dtb not found)
finished. total time: 0.834s
"
Thanks for this! I was losing hope on any development for this watch but now we have the most crucial component to modifying anything on android, a custom recovery. Going to perform a backup, root and flash your custom kernel you kindly released as well!
T10NAZ said:
Hello everyone, I have been working hard last night to make twrp run on our watches, and this I think is a good representation on what itll be like with actual development going on
As far as I understand people are able to get backups of their watch in order to preserve OTA's before rooting, and I was able to flash some zips and kernels successfully, and I fixed the UI to look better and actually usable on the watch
Also, I was able to flash this puppy, and I got android wear to boot with it flashed, however most of the time, it goes haywire and only boots into recovery. Same thing applies, this shall be a Tethered recovery only until I know why its going crazy.
As always, problems can arise on your watch, so be careful!
read the entire instructions, This is a known way to get system protection off, and to flash zips/kernels when need be. Do not flash please.
Here is the link to the updated twrp
Get into fastboot, either by enabling adb by enabling developer options going into settings, about, and taping the Build number 8 times, and going back, down to developer options and enable ADB Debugging.
Then you can type into your CMD or terminal adb reboot-bootloader or by powering down by holding the button or power down in settings, when the screen goes black, repress and hold the button and swipe the screen from the upper left down to the lower right and that should bring up the ASUS logo with CSC Fastboot Mode! on the screen
continue to boot the recovery by typing fastboot boot recovery.img like the other one.
I also have a kernel underway if people would like to try it out and test it in the next couple days

it could lead to that, yea, since this is the only root method basically, it adds a few extra steps to do it
can we root with regular supersu .zip, or do we need a special build for wear devices?

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3zB2zRyWlLBNmhwSmNBUEp1SVU/view?usp=sharing there ya go. dunno if the regular supersu works. havent tried that out. this one does. and alrdy has a busybox installer wear app included which u need anyway sooner or later.
there is no supersu manager app in it though like on phones. apps requiring root just have it. tested advanced settings so far for disabling built-in stuff and a reboot option. but maybe there is a supersu-wear.apk somewhere?
not my link. taken from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65759835&postcount=14 he took it from the G watch R forums iirc.

guess that means he flashed it. now his watch is bricked. not that it hasent been mentioned NOT to flash it just fastboot boot ...
flash the stock images via fastboot or tethered (NOT flashed) twrp and you should get your watch working again.

Ok Thanks. I am in and generating a backup. The touch screen was working for me mostly. It won't let me select Micro SDCard to save my backup.
Yeah like I said it need some repair I am pretty sure the mount points aren't perfect and I didn't compile it I had to use an otg and mouse to navigate

What I did to navigate was I had to push the power button then it would bring the screen up where you can swipe the bottom to unlock the screen and use touchscreen. Navigating the storage was odd because it shows it is stuck on Internal storage, but If i click on SDCard, it will take me to that directory. I hope there is a nice update to this is the near future, so we don't have to access it through "adb reboot recovery"
You can flash it if you like I just don't trust this copy yet waiting for an update before I flash it
You can use" fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" to flash rather than "fastboot boot twrp.img " to boot it

You can use" fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" to flash rather than "fastboot boot twrp.img " to boot it

Oh man you were so right. I had it flashed and it caused me all kinds of problems, like booting the screen upside down etc. I was finally able to find the recovery.img in another thread and get back the stock recovery. I think I will also wait until there is a more stable TWRP version.
I always use boot to test and I always backup my recovery before flashing because I had that happen to me before
Any idea on when a decent working custom recovery will be available?

Probably when someone will have the will & time to work on it.
Maybe you'd like to take on this topic?
Lol. I hear you. I have very little understanding of Linux I have tried to make one but there aren't enough information about compiling device /vendor tree for a new device to go on
Just visit this page and you will get TWRP for Z016D. It's a Taiwan website with Chinese but you can see the blue link marked as "TWRP" and there you are.

The 20170218 recovery works perfectly with my phone (6/64gb, 820). The first one posted in the OP worked, but was a bit glitchy. The updated one has working SD reading and touchscreen works without having to lock it first.
Could someone please tell me why twrp is booting upside down on my device, and how do I fix it? I just tried to run it in fastboot boot twrp-3.0.3-0-Z016D-20170218.img and once again it loads upside down, however the touch screen is where it normally is suppose to be, which makes it very difficult to navigate the menus. It is very frustrating. This has happened to me multiple times this week. I can't seem to get it to boot/load properly.

Are you using the Snapdragon 821 version by any chance? Cause people with the s820 seem to be working fine.
I am using 821 my screen is flipped and no touch even after locking it

I really don't want to wipe everything and start all over from scratch because everything else is working great right now. I guess if there is no easy solution, then I will just leave it alone. I ran it with fastboot and then made a backup and saved it on my microSD card. But I am worried if I wipe everything and start all over again, then I will have to call my bank again to verify my cards for Android pay. I am running the stock firmware version 1698, with stock recovery, an unlocked bootloader, & rooted. Also have Magisk & Titanium Pro installed, and I verified that Andoid pay works for me. (I already bought something using Android pay).

I flashed Magisk v11.1 with TWRP, then installed Magisk Manager from the Google Play Store, after I rebooted my device. I did that by booting in to TWRP with fastboot to flash the .zip file. I did not flash TWRP to install Magisk.

I've seen this talked about but I didn't really get it.
Is this twrp flsshable? Or do like normal? Your OG post says "can't" in fastboot so that's where I'm getting lost

Extract anyone of the zip flash manually via bootloader mode by running the commands
fast food flash logo (the one you pick).bin
The new full mod contains a flashlogo.bat already
Simply boot into bootloader and run bat file and enjoy
Same for the A/B havoc logo.bin have made a simple bat file for them as well
Now for the twrp side of thing I keep running in to error(6)
No matter how I reconfigure
Reaching out to another Dev that might be able to help me reconfigure

Worked! There's a black screen for a few seconds but other than that, perfect!
Love to make my own. Hint hint ?

BTW, One issue I've had since I fastboot the first time (a bin file, can't say it was from a zip file), TWRP has not been able to do a backup. Fails everytime at system image.
At one point it wouldn't reboot to the rom. Kept going back to TWRP. Eventually I just flashed a new ROM (which I was about to anyway thus the reason for the backup).
Edit; haven't tried since I flashed this new one.

Same as previous. About a 2-3 second black screen.
Don't know if it matters but someone on telegram (didn't get an opportunity to read into it at the time) mentioned a bat file (but I think that may have been about TWRP).
And just outta curiosity, this stuff has progressed faster than myself. Is it necessary to remove security settings anytime I flash something? Have been just in case but I don't thing I do, just wanted confirmation if you have time

Hello!
Please forgive me as it's been a long time since I made/posted a stock based ROM as I have been mainly doing security research and dealing more with source code last few years.
Most seasoned Samsung users on here probably already know me and work that I have done so I won't waste time posting any "about me" stuff.
DISCLAIMER:
This ROM is still WIP (although fully functional) and based on Android R Beta 1ZTJA for G986U/U1/W. An unlocked BL is required to flash this ROM!
Features:
- Based on Stock R Beta 3 Build aka 1ZTJA.
- This is a full ODIN flashable tar (got tired of messing with update zips.)
- Disabled vbmeta
- Pretty heavily debloated
- Deknoxed
- Removed pesky recovery-from-boot.p which could cause boot loops.
- Currently only has SPR csc mods (will mod others in next build)
*Native call recording
*App Lock (forgot to push the app though so will fix in next build)
*Few others.. will post more specifics and give creds since I used the csc mod for exynos as a basis..
- Probably forgetting something but thhis is an initial build so will add more as time goes..
Instructions:
Note: The zip contains an instructions.txt that is more detailed.
Note 2: Zip contains the full firmware tar file which includes everything to be fully updated/on ztja. This means all bl files, modem, boot, recovery, super etc. so you can start from and build. Zip also contains files and instructions on how to obtain root.
- Backup your data if you must since this will wipe device!
- Put phone in dl mode and extract zip to pc somewhere.
- Open ODIN (INCLUDED IN ZIP) and in AP slot navigate to SamPWND.R3.v1-G986U1.tar and flash it.
- Device will reboot into stock ZTJA recovery where you will wipe data and reboot.
- Set up device and win?
Root Steps (optional):
Note: Since theres no sources for R yet theres no custom recovery. Also, Q based recovery will not work on R bootloaders as well as R there is no more /sbin so root needs to be flashed at this time.
- After you have flashed rom and everything is set up reboot back into DL mode.
- Open included ODIN and in AP slot navigate to the 1BTIF_BL_Files_and_LOS_Recovery.tar. Make sure auto reboot is NOT selected. Flash it.
- Once thats flashed hold vol down and power until screen turns off then immediately hold vol up and power until LOS recovery loads.
- However you want to flash magisk (I included Magisk.v21.0.zip) flash it.
* I do adb push magisk.zip /... Then select Install Update then install from root and select magisk zip...
- Reboot back into DL mode.
- In ODIn, select AP slot then navigate to 1ZTJA_BL_Files_and_1ZTJA_Stock_Recovery.tar and flash it.
- Device will boot back into ROM and you will now be rooted!
***TWRP RECOVERY***
- Download listed below
- I suggest you follow all the steps above and make sure it's up and running before installing TWRP.
- Basically extract the .tar from the .gz archive and flash in ODIN!
- adb works
- file manager and other tools work
- If follow above steps first as recommended, data will be decrypted.
- mounts work
- flashing works
- backup/restore works
- no issues found so far?
Steps are really quite simple if you have ever used ODIN.
It took a bit to put this together since all we have are update zips so I had to do a bit of trickery as well as had to build some binaries/tools to manually patch from 1BTIF to 1ZTJ3 to 1ZTJA to be able to have all the firmware images.
I will create a Telegram ROM support group soon where you can ask all the questions you want there (I am not at liberty to discuss unlocking bootloader on XDA so questions about this on here will either be ignored or will say I cant discuss. More info as to why will be posted in the support group or you can read the imcluded instructions.txt wink.wink).
ENJOY!
Shout Outs:
@topjohnwu for Magisk of course
@jesec for LOS Recovery
@afaneh92 base TWRP

Thanks, that will be a big help getting me back into building roms again. I haven't had the time at all lately except for some minor phone stuff plus I'm waiting for computer parts to come in and put together a 10th gen Intel system. Then I can get started again.

it clearly states its for G986U/U1/W if anyone tries it or flashes it to any other device then dont complain if it doesnt work or bricks phone
That being said, how do we get this going for the 988U1? I have root working for R on the 988U1. Although attempting to boot into stock recovery on ZTJA sends it into a boot loop still working on that.

Just flashed this last night, seems to be running beautifully, no issues so far, battery is looking good. Removed a dozen more useless apps, root is working great.
