[CLOSED][ROM] Rooted twrp backup

I am not responsible if you damage your device in any way you are the one that has decided to modify your device.
Here is a prerooted boot and system twrp backup all you will need to do is install supersu from the playstore.
Install instructions:
1. Backup something in twrp so the folder structure is generated
2. Then unzip file to /storage/emulated/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/NBQGLDXXXXXXX (This may change depending on the phone idk)/
3. Now go back to twrp and click restore and select the backup
Troubleshooting:
If you never set a encryption password (It asks you during the startup wizard), then you just click enter and skip it.

That number is your device's Serial Number, found in Settings --> About Phone.

I'm getting a Failed to unmount '/system' (Device or resource busy) when trying to restore. Any workarounds to this issue that you may know?

I have not tried it on this exact backup but it does work i have tried it.

I've tried but there's something different about this backup. I can't get Adaway or Xposed to work. The first one says it can't copy hosts file and the latter just bootloops

Thanks for tour sharing.
In my case, I just need to restore "boot" only and now it is working, too.
Thank you so much !!!

Please help with step by step procedures. Thank you

Following step is my case,
1. Wipe device
2. Restore hole ROM that deadman96385 provided
3. Restart system until you can see the android home page
4. Reboot to recovery, root and wipe cache then reboot device
5. Check the SuperSU is working or not. If yes, go next step
6. Reboot to recovery, restore the boot and system (without system image) then install xposed v80 and wipe cache
7. Reboot device and enjoy it ← I was stock on boot screen in this step, so I get into the recovery and restore the "boot" only.

How to flash official nougat without wiping internal storage?

Hello all!
I am currently on OOS 3.2.8, and official TWRP. I have read all the instructions on the forums but all lead to one option, formatting internal memory. So, my question are:
1. Will flashing oos 4.0 work with official TWRP or 8 have to use modified 28 version?
2. How can I flash oos 4 with modified TWRP and not have to wipe internal memory?
I would appreciate all the responses. Thanks

I was the same predicament as you. I finally took the plunge and now I have Nougat running on my OP3. Here is what I did :
Start: OOS 3.2.8 w/ custom kernel and modified TWRP
1. Flash stock recovery (Google for a forum post in the OP3 forums on downloading the stock recovery and flash it through fastboot)
2. Reboot and let 3.2.8 start
3. Download Snap VPN and change the country to Canada. You will be prompted for the system update.
4. Let the update download (~1 GB)
5. Install the update. You may see an error of the installation may fail as your phone is rooted. Ignore and go ahead.
6. The installer will now boot to stock recovery and reboot with Nougat. All settings and apps will be maintained
The only catch is that you may have ext4 instead of f2fs. I am okay with it for now... But your mileage may vary
All the best!

Edit : Nougat running on my op3.

Are you rooted? Are you encrypted? What file systems are you using for your partitions? You're not giving full information. Why is formatting not an option if it'll give you the results you want?

To get to F2fs (I do recommend it)
Take a backup of your Data partition. , copy it to your pc with "adb pull /sdcard/Twrp/whatever".
Now go to Twrp>Wipe>Advanced select data and click on change file system. Change it to F2fs. Now restore your backup (Reader the guide all info is there). Profit!

I don't have any issues with ext4, infact i do feel ext4 is more stable than f2fs so file system is my last concern. Thanks for your method, but then how did u root again? Installing nougat is fine but what after that? I have read that you can't use modified twrp without formatting internal memory first, as it'll show you the pin issue. Let me know how do you propose a safe method to achieve root.

Yes i am encrypted, rooted, stock OOS 3.2.8 + Franco kernel. Official TWRP(not modified). I am using ext4, never used f2fs at all. The time to backup data and then to restore it all back is the reason formatting is not an "preferred" option for me. I can do it, but i would have to wait until i find enough time to do the whole process. I am in a full time job, so i hope you would understand.

Well this again defeats the purpose of my original question, but thanks mate. I would definitely read the guide if decide to switch to f2fs.

@abhibnl. BTW your encrypted. So the modified TWRP won't work.
How to fix:
Wipe Userdata with Fastboot / fastboot erase UserData
Boot into Twrp modified twrp.
Flash OOS 4.0 flash SuperSU and let it boot
You should be decrypted DO NOT install a boot password since you will be encrypted again.

I haven't rooted my phone again. My only reason to root is to install Adaway to block all ads. With DNS66 and Adguard, I have little incentive to root my stock nougat install.
Edit : I had encryption during 3.2.8 and it carried over to 4.0

Thanks a lot for informing me mate. I really don't want to decrypt my storage as of now. I guess flashing stock recovery is the only solution now. Will hope someone would pick up the twrp and update it.

Seems like stock recovery is the best way as of now. Seems like I'll have to love without root until someone updates twrp to support encrypted storage.

I haven't updated to Nougat yet, but I looked over Chainfire's SuperSU changelog and its installation script and both of them confirm that from March installing SuperSU prevents forced encryption. Also many guides suggest installing it as way for disabling forced encryption. Of course you have to flash SuperSU just after flashing ROM, before booting the system.

That i already knew mate. But i WANT my storage to remain encrypted. And that's the issue with modified TWRP. You can't enter into recovery on that if your storage is encrypted.

Again, "You can't enter into recovery on modified TWRP if your storage is encrypted." So i won't be able to enter into twrp in the first place, let alone flash anything.

In the same boat as you. I have OOS 3.2.8 encrypted, rooted and TWRP 3.0.2-1.26. I too would like to update but have way to much stuff on my phone to back it all up and restore it. Hope you or someone come's up with a solution. I will be following your thread.
Thanks.

Go to twrp. Press backup. Select only data. Save to PC youre backup for safety..
3.2.8 it's Android 6, 4.0 it's Android 7. Some apps might not work from base to base.
If you want to change to F2FS it will format youre phone, wipe phone full internal memory. If you want to change it back to ext4, same.
Clean flash, full wipe it's always better.

My suggestion (and my steps are in #1), install stock recovery, install snap VPN, download the update and install (ignore any errors on root). Once done, you will have Nougat with stock recovery, encryption maintained and all app data also intact.

This is the last resort brother. With this method, unfortunately I won't have any root available. The only way now is to wait for updated twrp.

Well, I tried something, waiting on it to finishing booting and see how it went.
I flashed twrp-3.0.2-1.28-oneplus3p version,
Flashed the OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_035_all_1612310359_e10cadfb2af7.zip inside TWRP,
Flashed SR1-SuperSU-v2.79-SR1-20161221223537.zip right after flashing OTA zip.
Its rebooting and says Android is upgrading. Fingers crossed.
EDIT: Its booted and I am on Nougat, didnt lose my data and phone is still encrypted!
Edit: Ended up having issues with settings app locking up. So, I went a different route and its all working great now.
Downloaded the stock recovery image and renamed it to recovery.img
Make sure after you rename it its not named recovery.img.img, If you have show file extensions enabled on your pc you should already see the file extension.
Rebooted to bootloader - adb flash recovery recovery.img
Using the volume keys and power button selected - reboot recovery.
Now in stock recovery - flashed OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_035_all_1612310359_e10cadfb2af7.zip
After rom is done flashing, went right back into bootloader. Did not let my phone reboot to start the OS.
Renamed twrp-3.0.2-1.28-oneplus3p.img to recovery.img
adb flash recovery recover.img
Powered off phone and Manually boot it into recovery by holding Power + Volume Down button.
Phone booted into TWRP
Flashed SR1-SuperSU-v2.79-SR1-20161221223537.zip
Wiped cache / dalvik
Rebooted system from TWRP and waited. System is really smooth now, no issues yet. Been playing with it for awhile now.
During the booting up process it might take a minute and it will reboot twice. Dont get nervous like I did thinking it was going to start bootlooping. It booted just fine. I read in a nother thread that SuperSU is what causes it to boot twice.
So......Now I have OOS 4.0 Nougat, Rooted, Encrypted and everything seems to be working fine.

[HOW-TO] How to SuperSU the Moto G5 Plus (Rooting Guide)

Hey guys,
Thanks to @vanche for the modified kernel and twrp recovery and @fayiaz for the guide on how to root and @Johny Cipel for the original guide and everyone else like
@topjohnwu
@santhosh
@abdyasar
For the original twrp, root and other stuff.
Now thats out of the way
Requirements:
-Unlocked Bootloader (Moto G5 Plus with offers from Amazon won't have unlockable bootloaders but if you buy the standard model from them then you'll be fine)
-Vanche's Modified TWRP from here (http://cloud.vache-android.com/Moto/potter/TWRP/twrp-3.1.0-0-potter.img)
- Vanche's Modified Boot Kernel from here (http://cloud.vache-android.com/Moto/potter/root/potter_boot_test7.img)
- Vanche's Wifi Patch because wifi will stop working after flashing the modified boot kernel (http://cloud.vache-android.com/Moto/potter/root/wlan_custom.zip)
- Chainfires Root http://download.chainfire.eu/1021/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip
--- If you already have TWRP on your phone, the one by Santosh, you must flash the one made by Vanche or it wont work and you can just download the recovery image and flash it via twrp by toggling the flash zip button on the twrp recovery install menu.
1.. Download all the three files then boot your phone into bootloader mode by holding Volume Down + Power
2. Connect your phone to your PC and then open the adb terminal wherever adb is located open command prompt at that folder
3. Place the recovery image and boot image where the adb terminal folder is located
4. Fastboot flash recovery first and then boot into recovery at least once then reboot into bootloader fastboot flash boot the modified boot image.
5. Boot into the system (May take a while for the first time after flashing the boot image).
6. Place the wlan_custom.zip into your phones internal storage
7. Boot back into recovery and then flash the zip this time
8. Then download and flash the SR3 Super Su from above using recovery and you should have root!!
Safety net may break so if you wanna use Snapchat or any other apps that use safety net make sure you login first then root. You can't logout or else you'll have to unroot and log back in.

The phone will wipe as soon as you unlock the bootloader so best to back up first.

Only the 'Prime Exclusive - With Offers and Ads' Amazon models don't have an unlockable bootloader, while the 'Standard Version' models can definitely be unlocked. You probably should clarify that or some will think that they can't buy from Amazon and unlock/root the phone.

Will do thanks

The "Magisk method" didn't give me privileges on /system, there are some things I can do and others do not, this method gave me full root access like in the other MotoG devices? And the safetynet check fails too?
Anyway thank you very much!!

What's going to be different than magisk root?

Do you think that will be fixed soon with a newer version of SuperSU, or some "root hider" apps? The idea of running a phone without root is absurd/offensive/rediculous IMO, but I don't want to be denied the ability to run certain apps because the developers have the rediculous idea that running without root should be "OK" to ordinary users? This idea is extremely offensive to me!!!

Guys, I wonder why the OP is "Account currently disabled"? I hate running without root, but, it seems a bit early and not all the problems have been worked out yet, such as TWRP not accessing SDCARD yet - I think I was a little premature buying my Moto G5 Plus as we don't really have "stable" release custom ROMs or fully functioniong TWRP and to even root we have to rely on some not well known sources for kluged files to make SU work?

Root and Magisk on Oreo (oct security patch)

After using this phone for a while I decided to root it.
I unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP and flashed Magisk, but all I get is bootloop or stuck on bootlogo (your device has been unlocked.....)
SOLUTION
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/how-to/guide-how-to-magisk-root-xposed-oreo-8-t3743273
Applicable also for moto Z2 Play, just with appropriate recovery, of course
Please note the updates to the first post. It may be necessary to do the procedure twice.
I tried these TWRPs:
3.2.3.0
64bit 3.2.1
and TWRP and modified magisk from https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-play/how-to/guide-twrp-root-t3667769
I tried all TWRPs with both modified magisk and official v18.
I have XT1710-09 with Oreo and October security patch
Is there a way to root this lastest firmware?
Thanks

I did 3.2.3-0 TWRP method (by Junior Passos) on my XT1710-06 device with 8.0 on August 1 security patch (purposefully neglected updating any further cause method was tested exactly up to August patch according to Passos) and everything seems working pretty fine for a month now. Think I've installed no Magisk modules other than Xposed systemless yet and I've no interest in SafetyNet as well, so not deeply tested either. Don't know for sure, but I guess there's a good chance for such method to work on October patch too. Just be sure to perform every step as it is now in the 3.2.3-0 OP. One word of advice: after performing TWRP backup, look for it in /system/media and move it to both external and internal SDcards just in case something goes wrong (usually because of a missed step, I can say)... Also: I recommend to install Magisk v17.1 first time; then, if you want, update to v18 but right from the installer...
Sent from my Moto Z2 Play using XDA Labs

Strange, I have zero magisk problems when using the latest stock rom. Flash in twrp, done, no issues. However, it could be because I first back up boot and system and then restore them with twrp before rooting(this removes encryption).

Have these steps worked for me...
1.)Flash TWRP using Fastboot
2.)Go to TWRP/Settings and open Terminal.
3.)Run both of following commands:
echo KEEPVERITY=true>>/data/.magisk
echo KEEPFORCEENCRYPT=true>>/data/.magisk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4.)Flash Magisk-v17.1.zip
5.)Repeat step 2 and 3 dont wipe.
6.)Start
NOTE: before Reinstall stock or uninstall Magisk.

I did the Junior Passos method of doing the backup, and everything is working like a charm.

Strange, I have zero magisk problems when using the latest stock rom. Flash in twrp, done, no issues. However, it could be because I first back up boot and system and then restore them with twrp before rooting(this removes encryption).

Hi, Could you please, tell me which stock ROM you are using and where is possible to get it?
First time I am having problem with Magisk, never had on other phones.
Problem = Bootlop

It's not what rom but, how you do it. When on stock ROM, it is encrypted so you must first back up system and boot and then immediately restore them, this remove encryption. Now flash magisk and it will work.

Regarding backup, this is done through the stock ROM correct (Settings --> System --> Backup to Google Drive).
Thanks,

This worked perfectly on my Moto Z2 XT1710-06 with Oreo 8.0 when no other options worked.
Flash or Boot into TWRP
Backup System and Boot partitions in TWRP
Restore System and Boot Partitions in TWRP (note I had to enable R/W access in TWRP to restore the system partition)
Flash Magisk-v19.3.zip
Reboot
That is it. Now Rooted and passes all SafteyNet test. No more restricted apps. Even Google Pay now works.
Thank You.

Can bootloader be unlocked on ATT V35 V350AWM I can't find it anywhere? There seems to be some talk it cannot be done?

What's the benefit without ROM's for rooting your phone? Magisk modules?

Yes. On my V30 I've never installed a custom ROM. Rooted stock firmware when the TWRP custom recovery (gift by itself for backups), Magisk mods, Xposed mods. You can tweak yourself without having to install a ROM.

During flashing, you may see error messages about 'unable to unmount vendor'. This is fine as long as the zip flashing doesn't fail halfway.

realllllllllllly important. I kept getting unable to mount xx (one of vendor system systemroot randomly) and didn't notice it meant the magisk sticked until I gave up and was ready to settle with no twrp.

Did you wipe your data after flashing the files?
The same happened to me once, I solved that by flashing via upgrade the stock firmware, and then re-rooted.

I just went back to TWRP and used his boot.img to flash within TWRP to boot's partition and then I was able to boot without any issues, I was thinking the same, but it looked more work to do.
