is there a reason why this phone won't flash TWRP or ROMS directly from TWRP?

It actually does that
Question on which partitions to backup in twrp. I'm on stock pie Moto g6 xt1925-6 and want to be able to flash back to it with no problems. Normally I would backup boot, data, system. If I want to try out a gsi however it's is a system image and that's not normally backed up in twrp. I guess I'm asking which partitions should I backup that allows moving between gsi images, stock rom and custom roms.? Thanks

System.img is just the format the ROM (GSI) comes in. A regular system backup will restore just fine. The only difference is you can flash and backup system as an image if you want with TWRP now (boot and recovery too).
Data backups only work if you unencrypted your data. So restoring stock without root isn't possible (because of DM verity and forced encryption).
But restoring system and boot should work either way between GSI's. But unencrypted GSI backups of system and data should restore either way. You can make the backups as images if you want.

Really great feedback madbat99 and very much appreciated. Cheers
Nice to see, especially since Best Buy is running a sale on the G6 Unlocked (all of $150USD) - their cheapest Universal Unlocked handset during the current sale; at this price, even cheapskates like my Mom and her fiance could bite. (Further, at this price, we could even buy three - and I could run Lineage OS again - since Tracfone does not care if I don't run stock.)

Ok. I checked the xml, compared with bat file and there were significant changes.
Vendor partition was not beeing flashed
There was no erase ddr command
And the order of commands is slightly different.
I CORRECTED, flashed, again saw the strange warning or error while flashing recovery and boot which read: Image signed with key bad key
But system booted this time... even though digitizer still doesnt work, my main purpose of uograding, as it stopped working when I flashed the previous running oreo version...another story, offtopic here
Thanks

I had tested the RR, AEX, HAVOC OS, LINEAGE. now it only starts if I install the stock from scratch, and put the gsi system image. but does not pick up with gapps

Was on 3.1.4 around 7 months ago. Do you have EFS backup? If don't, that was a big mistake flashing new baseband without backup.
But here some advices to do:
→Boot to fastboot and re-check if bootloader still unlocked (if yes then proceed ↓ )
→Flash the stock MM recovery for OOS within fastboot
→Directly boot to recovery (using fastboot command or manually)
→Reflash the full ROM 3.1.4 zip. It should bring back everything
*Or try to flash compatible TWRP for 3.1.4 and just restore the EFS partition or full Nand Backup (if you have one)
*If not, then you'll need to follow mega unbrick guide.

Thats disaster. Have you tried any steps i suggested earlier?
Re-check unlocked bootloader? and try flashing compatible TWRP within fastboot? hows the results?
• Download full ROM 3.1.4 zip and place in your computer (ADB folder)
• Directly boot to TWRP and use "ADB sideload" of full ROM zip (using ADB command)
Use search button (or just google it) how to use ADB sideload.
→Worst case scenario, follow the mega unbrick guide that should help you. OK. goodluck.
Note: Easiest way, contact oneplus support team for remote session. They will help you
adb reboot bootloader

What twrp version are you on?
You need a stock MM recovery for opx to flash full 3.1.4.
and make sure you ain't got corrupted zip file. Download full 3.1.4 ROM zip from onplus website.

If you're already on stock MM recovery. then just reflash the OOS full ROM 3.1.4 zip. (The zip you tried was corrupted one, i guess). re-download and try again.
Note: make sure to checked box mount (system, data, cache) only, before flashing full ROM.

You know what, It's a bit old and hectic dealing with stock MM things.. Plus messing up with modem with no backup preparation. It's more like complicated hell
IF only he wanna try flash any N custom ROM for opx,
(At least to get or to make sure your device get booted back first)
I could suggest him the proper procedure IF he want to.

Here you go, in case someone try messing up with the modem make sure to backup modemst1 & modemst2 first:
Just open terminal emulator on device and types:
su (to grant root access)
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/sdcard/modemst1.bin bs=512
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/sdcard/modemst2.bin bs=512
*It will copy the 2 files into sdcard/internal storage. Save those 2 files to safety place. like a Bank
To restore (using fastboot) types:
fastboot flash modemst1 modemst1.bin
fastboot flash modemst2 modemst2.bin

To repair EFS issues when fastboot only available. There are other ways as well however OP mentioned fastboot available only.
Edit: @Part.0 if you would have read OP correctly, you would have noticed he mentioned that he flashed the wrong modem files and my solution along with a fastboot reboot which I didn't mention would have solved his problem. fastboot erase modemst1/2 although you only know it for solving modem/GPS issues are also partitions. Remember our job here is not to convince @Part.0 of our solutions, next time a thank you would do well for teaching you something.

Ok since i can't reproduce your issue on this one, so i can't find the right solutions for your case.
• Unlocked bootloader + Working Recovery + Fastboot + Full ROM zip file
Those should enough fixing your issue.
Perhaps i missed something, like corrupted partitions (firmware). Maybe another user experienced with the issue can help you out.
Best luck for you.
Note: Maybe our friend here can help you out @dchrono or willing to help you. Thank you.
Ps: Try mountng of "Firmware" in mount section before flashing full ROM. So it will mounted (Firmware, System, data, cache) But wait, ask out before you do. Finger crossed

Stock kernels with the "forceencrypt" flag changed to "encryptable".
These are "IMG" files that need to be flashed with fastboot.

Sounds like the N8I11B build has some Verizon specific code. After reviewing, it appears they devs used the same kernel in both builds, so it should not matter which is flashed.
Lose data?
Can these be flashed without losing data?
My Nexus 6 is currently not encrypted and I'd like to keep it that way, but don't want to have to reinstall all my apps and files. Again.

You can update your phone and stay un-encrypted by flashing the latest "system.img", "cache.img", and the appropriate "noencrypt-boot.img" from the OP. (This is how I update each release and maintain the exisiting data)

hello. can anyone please explain to me how do i get rid of encryption if i'm on lineage os? i am trying for hours now but every time my phone boots it is still encrypted. what i'm doing is i flash this modified boot.img through fastboot, then format userdata through fastboot, then go into recovery and wipe everything possible and then i flash latest los build from usb-otg. reboot and it's still encrypted :|

After flashing LOS and before booting the first time is when you need to flash a non-encrypted kernel. Flashing the boot.img before isn't doing any good as it's overwritten by the LOS install....

if i flash it after los it gets stuck on google logo and doesn't boot at all :/
---------- Post added at 01:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 AM ----------
ok so now i've went back to stock N8I11B which is force encrypted. could you tell me exactly what steps should i take to make it not encrypted please? also what about the franco kernel does it get rid of encryption as well maybe?
If your flashing stock via fastboot, then you just need to replace the boot.img with the non-encrypted. That said, you will need to erase "userdata" also and start fresh. (Once user data is encrypted, it can't be "un-done" it's a start from scratch)
As for LOS, I've never used it with the stock kernel, but it sounds like its not compatible. Franco should work fine and is also not force-encrypt.

it's really confusing as this is what it says in the official los thread here on xda - "Current lineage 14.1 shamu nightlies are based on the N8I11B August 2017 update from google. So you should be using the radio and bootloader img from that update. " also how do i erase this userdata properly? "fastboot format userdata"? i think last time i did it my device didn't boot at all afterwards. going to try it again now.
Added September 2017 "no encrypt" boot.img to OP

Would we want to change the name of noencrypt-boot.img to boot.img before flashing or leave as is? Also can we make a backup in TWRP of our userdata and just restore after flashing as long as it's before booting the phone?

You can leave the name of the file (unless you just want to type in a short command with fastboot). As for the backup of "userdata", if you are updating the phone from one stock version to another and following the instructions you quoted, there is no need to backup. Coming from another ROM you would want to wipe and then yes, a backup is a good idea (needed).
*Download all necessary files*
Magisk v15.0 or newest available
Download ElementalX kernel @ elementalx.org
Download latest Magisk Manager from official xda thread
Download TWRP for Moto G4 (Athene)
from twrp.me
Unlock bootloader (Go to Motorola's official site)
Check Unknown Sources in Android settings under security tab.
Download and install ADB & Fastboot on your PC
Boot into fastboot by holding down vol down and power.
Once you see Android robot with text at the bottom, on your computer in cmd type "fastboot boot TWRP image path" ex: fastboot boot D:/TWRPimages/twrp.athene.img
Once phone boots to TWRP, TWRP will ask to make modifications to system. Keep read only. (Note: if is asks to install, always say no.) Next go to backup, and make backup. (Just backup what is selected by default: system, data, and most importantly, boot.img) Note: make sure to tell it to backup to SD, and make sure the SD card is formatted as portable, not adoptable. Note: you might need mount the card under Mount tab first before being able to select it.
Next, go to mount, and uncheck "keep system read only", and swipe to allow modifications. Go to install, and flash ElementalX, and set it up in the following screen. As we already have the turbopower charger, you don't need to enable USB fast charging.
Wipe dalvik cache, and flash Magisk. Then, wipe dalvik again, and power off.
Boot into Android to make sure everything works. Install Magisk app if it didn't appear in your apps drawer from the .apk you downloaded earlier.
Hope this helps! Good luck!
Note: If you would like to flash TWRP instead, use "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img" instead of fastboot boot.
Thank you for this tutorial! Is it required to install the ElementalX kernel?

It appears to be. I tried it without ElementalX first and got to the point of installing Magisk then rebooting before my G4 went to brick with the flashing light. Same behavior occurred when installed SuperSU. After installing ElementalX everything worked fine.
To supplement this guide, here are a few more links and notes of what I did.
Links
The December 2017 Nougat ROM from here
G4 compatible Shreps TWRP from here
Current Magisk here
ElementalX for G4 is here
If needed, install Platform Tools and Android File Transfer
Steps
Install the ROM using these commands (on Mac):
./fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
./fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

@Sanras, I followed your instructions and they went great on a republic wireless xt1625, thank you! But your post just says to boot into twrp, which means if I ever want to use twrp I have to connect my computer. Is there a special way to flash twrp instead of just booting to it? Because I tried flashing twrp but the phone wouldn't boot afterward. So I had to flash the stock rom and redo everything. Let me know and thanks!

You should be able to flash TWRP. That's actually the most used method. I simply recommended booting and not flashing because it is easier to revert to stock for an update. However, you should be able to flash TWRP if you want with "fastboot flash recovery D:/TWRPimages/twrp.athene.img"
(Replace last part with image path on your computer)
Thanks Sanras,
Great guide, worked for me with no problems.
Anyone know how to approach security updates after rooting via this method?
Currently on Dec17 looking to update to Apr18 security patch just don't want to brick device.
Thanks in advance. :good:
Thanks. Sanras.
I got my phone bricked after restore my stock rom and try to install magisk to it. This solved my case also.
I just have to pay attention that just installing the kernel after try the magisk is not enough. Like you said:
* Install ElementalX kernel; wipe caches
* then install Magisk (again), and wipe caches again

My Moto G4 has an SD card formatted adoptable. Is there a work around in step 6 to accommodate an adoptable SD card?

Sure. Instead of making a backup to the card, backup to internal storage. Then, before doing anything else, on your pc copy the files from the newly created TWRP folder on your internal storage. These are your backups. You can then proceed with the rest of the steps. Honestly, the backup isn't even necessary, it's just good to have in case something goes wrong.
Hi
I know it's a bit old now, but I'm unable to root my Nougat XT1641
I already have the whole stuff :
- BL unlocked ;
- TWRP installed ;
- all backups done.
But everytime I try to flash ElementalX/Magisk, it fails and ends in a bootloop.
Can someone have an advice to help me ?
Well, I used this : https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#patching-images
Patching my boot.img did the trick !
Hey everyone, I just flashed my Moto G5S with a custom ROM (8.1 Pixel Experience).
Everytime I start it, it just goes into TWRP recovery mode. If I hold the Power+Volume buttons, and then select "Start", then it will boot into the Android OS. But if I leave it alone, then it just boots into TWRP Recovery mode.
How do I resolve this? it sounds like the boot order is not correct... but I don't know how to fix this.
EDIT: I have tried running the commands below in TWRP Terminal. They did not help
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota of=/sdcard/fota-backup.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
Thank you all so much.
Same problem
I'm having exactly the same problem.
I've tried every single thing I can think of so far, including reverting everything back to stock.
Even when I revert the recovery img back to stock, it still tries to boot into recovery and just has a screen with the android logo and one word: "error".
I think that we need the moto G5 plus equivalent of "blank flash". EDIT: I'm not allowed to post links, so replace DOT with . here: cloudDOTEvache-androidDOTcom/Moto/potter/blankflash/
I'll try flashing this and see if it works.
Solved!!
I was finally able to solved this with the following steps:
Download the latest stock rom and firmware. There are lots of links around (sorry, I still can't post links). I used the Feb 2018 version.
Extract the zip file to the same places as fastboot. Boot into the bootloader.
1: Check your device is connected in fastboot mode
Code:
fastboot devices
If your device is listed then proceed.
2. flash bootloader
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
This might be enough - I didn't test it but you could try booting back into twrp and reinstalling your custom ROM here.
2. flash stock ROM ( and everything else)
I got a couple of error messages about signing with bad keys here, just ignore them.
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
4: Optional: relock bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem lock
5: Reboot and rejoice! (hopefully)
Code:
fastboot reboot
6: Reflash TWRP and then sideload Magisk for root
Reboot back into bootloader.
Download lastest TWRP for Moto G5S plus. Mine is called twrp-sanders-r16.im
g:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-sanders-r16.img
Get the latest Magisk from their website. Mine is v16.0.
In TWRP go to advanced -> sideload. Then:
Code:
adb sideload Magisk-v16.0.zip[CODE]
And you are done! Good luck :D
Thank you. I will give this a shot when I have a moment. At least I can still use my phone and it's not a brick. I'll come back with an update!
Success!
The previous suggestion worked... thank you so much!
I don't want erase my user data... I'm good with pixel experience rom.. no major bugs.
Help with twrp bootloop.. I use twrp r20 for Sanders unofficial
Hi,
I got the same issue. Can load fine with Start from Bootloader, but after next Restart, it's stuck on TWRP bootloop again.
I installed Pixel Experience, TWRP 3.2.1 r20 and Magisk 17.1
I used fastboot to load each file as you suggested, but still don't work.
Any idea where it might be wrong?
Thanks!

Your bootloader must be unlocked.
You can't lock the bootloader, to do this you will need a signed firmware from Motorola (and no one found yet). Instead you can use Magisk to hide the unlocked bootloader, bypass SafetyNet and be able to use Google Pay, for example.
You will not get OTA updates from Motorola even if you somehow lock the bootloader because your phone is registered forever to the "retcn" software update channel, instead of "retail" or "retbr".
Recommended: set your Platform Tools (adb and fastboot) system wide using this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/guide-how-to-set-fastboot-adb-to-wide-t3591240
Tested for updating from Oreo stock without wipe.
Steps for clean flashing or update
- Place the suitable script attached on the extracted ROM folder and flash (these scripts are only for XT1710-08 variant to prevent lost modem signal)
- After all the commands succeeded, wait for a full reboot (because of encryption)
- Flash TWRP
- Flash Magisk normally through TWRP
- Be happy

Would it be easy to update the system with the latest patch? I have magisk installed with system from April patch. If so what how would be the procedure?
Followed all the steps and got it working. Thanks so much, the original software on this version of the phone is terrible!
One thing, like a few others, my fingerprint sensor isn't working. Is it as simple as a wipe after install?

Yes I took those out when flashed and still no fp sensor. Thanks for sending on though. I read everything b4 flash but still no fp sensor.
But I didn't wipe 1st so might flash again and wipe 1st?

If you can, please try wiping in first. If still doesn't work, the procedure to solve this is:
- Flash the original ROM (that ugly ZUI one) to get it working again
- Flash the ROM on this thread, wiping, evading that 4 commands
I can help you to find the ZUI ROM if you need.

Hey I got back to ZUI - the Chinese ROM came up. Fingerprint working. So rebooted into BL and flashed the firmware as per OP. Again, no FP sensor.
I'm gonna try again and wipe after install ZUI, BEFORE flash and wipe Oreo.
[2nd try no better??]
It flashes ok but FP sensor just won't work. Everything else working. When you say "Flash the ROM on this thread, wiping, evading that 4 commands" I use the flash and wipe script and remove the 4 commands (the erase modem seem to have been removed already from the script). Any ideas, I'm so close! Have flashed back and forth a few times tonight. It's fun though! Cheers!

Mine XT1710-08 fingerprint sensor works without removing the 4 commands, I just remove the 2 erase modem (already removed in the flash scripts).

Rooting
I did all the steps and completely reinstalled android 8.0 on my moto z2 play, I then got twrp and tried flashing magisk 17.1, I got stuck in a bootloop but managed to flash the whole thing again, which solved the problem. To make sure this doesn't happen again, could you please state the steps for rooting. I cant remember if it was because I did not input the code into the terminal. When I input the code am I supposed to get a response or message, because it just stays bank?
Thank you
