TWRP Touch not working - Moto G8 (Moto G Fast) Questions & Answers

Hello im trying to port twrp from the G8 plus but for now im stuck with the twrp.fstab and the stock fstab, so they can't mount properly, specialy /system, also i have no idea how to make the touch screen to work, other than that everything seems to work, you can mount /data /mnt /cache /metadata etc, adb works. (you can use otg usb mouse to navigate through the recovery)
Can anyone help me please, this is the first time doing this.

I'm not an expert for this but I noticed that other fstab files for Moto Gs contain "discard" as an additional flag in recovery.fstab:
Code:
/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system / ext4 ro,barrier=1,discard wait,slotselect

yes that is a problem now

You have to insmod the touchscreen driver from the vendor partition to get it working. Check the bin files in twrp for a load modules script and edit it to suit your device. Or give me the twrp image and I'll work on it. I don't have your device so I'll need someone to run a command via termux or adb at some point.

Why are you concerned about the output of the display driver if you don't have the device in question? This does not make any sense or serve any purpose except wasting my time. I'm not trying to sounds harsh or anything but that is some baffling sh*t to be honest. This is akin to asking an aviation mechanic to fix your plane, and bringing him a car instead.

2. take a look into his log. This would solve problem 1/20. There is still a big problem to mount super.img
And I still don't have a Moto G8. To get this information a simple download of the firmware zip would have been enough.

Who's log, and what "super.img" ? - Are you okay, seriously? You're not making much sense at all. These are the kind of responses I'd expect from someone who doesn't know what they're talking about, has mental health issues that need addressed, or someone who's using illicit substances. Your replies raise some red flags with me. Send me a PM if you need to.

I'll work on it tonight. It'd be helpful if you can link the stock recovery.img or stock boot.img instead if you don't have an actual recovery partition. It'd also be great if you can pull /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom and attach that. (Rename .qcom to .txt and xda will allow the attachment.) It would save me a bunch of time. I have WiFi but it's slow, so I really don't want to download the entire firmware if I don't need to. I should have all the info I need in the thread to fix it up.
Any chance that the twrp.img had a dtbo.img built along with it? If so I also need that so I can append it to twrp. If not then don't worry about it. I'll probably have it working by the morning. I've had to do this so many times already, it's practically a cake walk at this point.

Sweet!

We're almost there! Someone who has a Moto G8 needs to run the following command from either termux, or adb shell.
Code:
ls /sys/devices/virtual/touchscreen
This will give you a folder name. Then you need to run the following command and give me the result. Pay attention to where the folder name goes in this next command.
Code:
cat /sys/devices/virtual/touchscreen/"folder-name-here-no-quotes"/vendor
I need that result. This will be the name of the module we need to insmod to get the touchscreen working. I'll need that to fix up the scripts that load your drivers.

If you like you can download all single images (zip compressed) of the firmware here:

I uploaded them yesterday, just in case they were needed.

Oh and one more thing:
If someone is gonna rate this thread 1 star, please explain here why.
So this means I can make an Odin rom of my current installed config? Or am I missing something?
If you then flash your tar + pit, you have your kernel and rom restored? This would be an awesome way to backup a good config, no?

Exactly - these commands will dump the data directly from your current phone.

Does this also work when the partitions are NOT RFS.

Although even if having to disable lag fix to create it the apply again after flashing is still a quicker way to toggle between your current rom and cm7..

[Q] Unable to mount /sdcard as rw

I'm currently trying to use adb to push a ROM to my sdcard on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus. However, it keeps failing due to /sdcard being a read-only filesystem.
When I adb shell into the phone and type mount, i get this (among others):
Code:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 on /sdcard type ext4 <ro,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered>
Attempting to mount /sdcard as read-write is not proving fruitful:
Code:
mount -o remount rw /sdcard
Can anyone help? I'm just trying to get a rom on there so i can install it. Unfortunately, the phone never leaves the google screen when i try to boot, so recovery and fastboot are my only options.
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /sdcard

Hello there, my samsung galaxy s2 i9100's internal sdcard suddenly became read-only shortly after updating it to 4.1. I've tried using the command: ''mount -o remount, rw /sdcard'' which works until i reboot or connect it to an external usb storage device. I'm kindly asking if anyone knows a permanent solution to my problem. P.S- I'm a bit new to this android thing so make your explanations as easy as possible. Please help

I tried Odin, Heimdall, fastboot and adb as per recommended on the forum.
Is there anything else i could try?

Hello again
So sadly I'm still having the same issue, looks like everything install/runs ok but at reboot the phone still at bootloop when I try to pull the logs from the device all I get is can't mount mmcblk0p12.
Are you getting a "cannot mount sd card " in that error message ??
That error would indicate a failed partition on the emmc..
This is not looking good.....g
No just can't mount/open /cache/recovery.
But on wipe data/factory reset one of the lines say "E: unknown volume "/sdcard/.android_secure".
I can't find anything else that will give me that error.
Okay ...please post the link to the stock rom you are trying to flash....and also tell us what bootloader version you have..g

Hi greg, this is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2-att/development/rom-att-i317-ucucne5-mj4-stock-odex-t2802189 and i am pretty sure NE5.
at first i though it was the actual external sd card, but then after some more careful reading, mmcblk0p12 is a partition of my internal storage correct?
Yep....emmc
And if those permanent partitions are whacked ....then it's bye bye phone....
No PIT will fix the emmc...it would be a chip replacement or new phone..
The emmc is essentially the boot sector of the device...g

Well thats a shame is there another way to verify the status of the emmc or this is pretty much it?is just strange how i try to install the JediX20 rom before and installed ok still boot, i would figure it will give errors installing and hang.

thanks greg.
Hello again everyone
So doing some more reading last night about my issue and found this:

Will this confirm the issue to be with the chip?
thanks. \m/
One last attempt here...
Format your external SD CARD to FAT32 on a PC....then reload it into the device and reflash your rom....g
Omg Greg I was just about to do that lmao. Thanks working on it
While this is formatting I have a question. I just noticed that I can only see mmcblk0 when the external card is in. Why would that be?
Thanks.
I hope this doesn't come up twice. External SD formatted to fat32... Try installing ucune5.. Odin said it pass but still stuck on logo after reboot

Because your device is trying to mount the storage block....and the mmcblk0 is the address...
I'm hoping it's an external error and not internal...because the emmc will give similar errors....g

You must not have saved it right or something.
Find a file manager in playstore that can do root privileges.
Or since you know adb. Pull the file, edit it then push it back.

Has anyone been able to remount /system as rw? FX File Explorer says it's successful but then switches automatically back to read only
I'm also trying to remount /system as rw. It seems that the patched Magisk boot file provided in this post preserves dm-verity, which disallows system partition modifications and makes it unable to remount as rw. The mount command will complain that '/dev/block/dm-8' is read-only.
Having tried repatch the boot image with unchecked 'preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity' in the Magisk app, but resulted in a crash during boot (QUALCOMM CrashDump Mode). Can succesfully boot with that option checked. It would be fine if dm-verity can be disabled in other ways.

Have you tried fastboot?
fastboot oem disable_dm_verity
If it causes problems, replace disable with enable to get back to current state, but it shouldn't
I don't like to disable dm verity for performance concerns, but for now it would be okay until a new root method comes out

Are you able to flash with TWRP by any chance?

TWRP doesn't mount /system at the moment on anyone's devices
Correct me if I'm wrong,but devices released with Android 10 out if the box will not allow making changes to the system( i.e it will remain read-only only)

That's what I'm working on. I tried a workaround but got this
mount -o rw,remount /
'/dev/block/dm-8' is read-only

I'm trying other things as I think of them, and I have a few ideas

Do you know if stock Oneplus recovery will flash unsigned zips?
Not sure. Got one I can flash via Fastboot?

Maybe, let me go through my old files cause I think I have dmverity disabler for stock recovery zip
Okay, I'm getting closer. Typing in
mount -o rw,remount /system
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
as usual gives me the "not in /proc/mounts" thing, but typing in
mount -o rw,remount /product
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
gives me the "/product is read only" error.
What we need is a kernel that'll let us mount /product in order for us to REALLY start playing with this device

Okay, I have an idea but I'll have to wait for the next official build to test it
Any news on this? Really want to uninstall Google Pay and install an older version of it.

You cant mount system as r/w because android 10 is read only
