Hi all,
I just recently purchased a G5, with the 2gb ram. I assume this is Cedric?
Do I need to download the 64 bit Cedric release of twrp?
I have unlocked the bootloader, but a bit confused about twrp.
I have twrp image, and I know how to use fastboot commands. My query is during the install of twrp and some guides warn about "swipe to modify". I am worried I will flash trwp and then end up with the stock rom wiped too and obviously no operating system.
I have experience of flashing twrp on a nexus device also my htc m8. This appears to be a little bit different.
Thanks,.

firstly, i need to tell you that i am a dummy so dont trust me i guess
but while i am these days reading into my moto g5 i can tell that
if you need the 64bit cedric it depends on which ROM you want to install.
in this context once you found your ROM there might be hopefully a guide to it:fingers-crossed:
tho i wondered if my moto g5 is compatible with x64 at all but yea i installed twrp cedric-3.2.1-0 x64 and it works
(i have the XT1676 Moto G5 , 3GB RAM, Fine Gold 16GB)
Actually, I am happy to keep the stock Moto rom. I wanted to install a custom recovery so I can flash xposed and use Gravitybox.

If you are sticking with stock rom flash my 32 bit twrp as it supports encryption (official twrp)
If you are flashing a custom nougat rom use the 32 bit twrp (official twrp)
If you are flashing a 64bit Oreo rom use the 64 bit twrp (you will need to format data to remove encryption)
If you are using twrp on stock rom and you swipe to modify then the rom will no longer boot - To get around around this you can either root the rom or flash the disable dm-verity zip
All instructions are on my official twrp thread - however the 64bit twrp will be on the 64bit custom rom threads as I do not support this
Read the FAQ section on the twrp thread as all the most common questions have answers there
So to flash an Oreo rom, I need to flash the 64bit version of twrp? As I am currently using the offical version which is 32bit, do I simply go in fastboot mode and flash the 64bit twrp and it will replace the other version of twrp I have installed?
dummy alert,
but yes, thats what worked for me
for example here, since its going abour Orea, you get the link for the x64
it is same named like the x86 version whats a bit weird
and another thing is that you can choose the "twrp-3.2.1-0-cedric.img" unlike its said on the linked poste. its obviously the newer version which i used successfuly flashing Oreo Android 8.1.0

Hi guys,
I've planned to do a CSE flash (means "with data loss") of latest official rom and then switch from the obsolete CloudyG3 to the FulmicsRom.
So I'll need TWRP recovery, but according to my experience it need to be "bumped", otherwise I get a Secure Boot error.
Autorec is considered the best solution, now I want to know:
1) How Autorec works to prevent this?
2) I'll get latest 2.8.7.0 TWRP recovery or the 2.8.6.0 instead?
3) I'll definitely solve bootloader issues, also when in future I'll manually flash "non-bumped" recoveries?
Ps i would appreciate more a better method to obtain the same result (the freedom of use non-bumped recovery).
The only I know is the "oem-unlock", but it's irreversible so I dislike it.

1) Autorec flash the "bumped" kitkat bootloader.
2) I have the 2.8.7.0, but its up to you really.
3) If you flash a not bumped rom or recovery, you will get a secure boot error. But, everything is bumped because its the only bootloader unlock that we have

So Autorec is useless, if I obtain the same result and limitations of a manual bumped recovery flash.
Why make useless bootloader changes if same result without mess up other partitions?
So, if I understand well, Autorec make exactly what I manually do by flashing of a "signed" boot/recovery partition.
I'm wrong?

Its useless if you are still on kitkat, but if you're on lollipop and you want to install a custom rom or recovery, you don't need to downgrade with tot, loose everything, flash bump, and go on... it make things easier in that case.
In fact,
Bump make believe to the phone that what you try to boot is legit,
While Autorec install the bumped kitkat boot partition if you are on lollipop.
And the bootloader change is not useless if you're on lollipop because bump don't work on lollipop.
If you are on the cloudy Rom, you already have TWRP installed.
You don't need to go back to stock.
Just boot to recovery: turn off, press vol.down+power, when you see the LG logo release the buttons and press then again units you see the recovery the factory reset. Say yes both questions and then you are in TWRP.
Copy the new ROM on the SD card and flash it.

So you're saying that FulmicsRom, based on 21A, will works greaceful even under 20H system (bootloader, etc.)?
The CloudyG3 developer suggest to flash latest official rom before its latest custom one.
I think it's true for FulmicsRom too.

Regarding the rom, I never needed to look for bumped releases.
On my device I flashed both Resurrection Remix (CM-based) and CloudyG3 without any problem: as requirements only the root access and a TWRP bumped recovery.
Probably the cited roms are signed by default, so the scenario described by you may happens only in other systems like MIUI or Ubuntu Touch... given that they are unsigned, I'm doing only an example.
I continue to be confused regarding the aim of Autorec.
So, why if I flash a non-bumped recovery I continue to get Secure Boot errors? The bootloader may be modified to prevent this behaviour, but Autorec won't do that.
So what it does?

If you flash a non-bumped recovery, its normal that you get "Secure Boot Error" because bump is the "unlock". Everything on the g3 must be bumped to boot.
Autorec flash the kitkat bootloader if you are on lollipop (to make bump work) and after it flash a bumped twrp (recovery), that's all.

Yes, you can flash on top of the cloudy no need to go back to stock.
The only thing you have to do is wipe all partitions except the sd before flashing.
Both ROMs are stock based.
If you decide to flash a KDZ or TOT to go back to stock you will have to root first and then use Autorec.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.
I was afraid regarding the compatibility of the actual 20H bootloader with custom 21A rom, CloudyG3 is based on 20H but works under the same bootloader.
But you're telling me it's not existing any kind of problem with that.
So I can flash rom in the easier way (from zip file with TWRP recovery).

So we can say that Autorec is useful only when I work with TWRP on official (obviously rooted) firmware.
But since the cited rom is only "based" on official, I'm not needing to use Autorec, if I directly flash bumped version of TWRP.

Listen... Lollipop bootloader DOES NOT accept BUMP.
So what autorec app by Bender does is flash a kitkat bootloader which ACCEPTS BUMP.
Autorec also flashes the bumped TWRP to recovery partition.
So... if you have TWRP you are on kitkat bootloader and you can flash whatever you want that is bumped. All images based on whichever version of ROM 21A, 20H or any of the other ones you find will work on that bootloader.
To finalize, yes you can flash it the easy way with TWRP.

Clearful, thank you so much... even if uppercases may seem offensive (like you talk to a stupid who won't understand)
So if I start from an official 21A firmware, I need to:
1) Root device;
2) Install and execute Autorec;
3) Flash anything from the bumped TWRP (automatically installed by Autorec alongside the KitKat bootloader).

Hi guys ☺,
I bought today G4 eu model,it came with Marshmallow 6.0 V20d version.
I want to root it because of Greenify and Xposed,to increase the battery time,maybe later to flash some rom but...
There is a lot of topics on this subject,I started to read but I'm lost right now...as far as I saw,I can't root Marshmallow without unlocking the bootloader,only Lollipop,right?
Is it a big trouble to go back from MM to LP?
I'm not new in this flashing and rooting stuff,I had (still have) a Motorola Razr XT910,I flashed it 100 times for sure for 3.5 years but I didn't had to unlock the bootloader (it's impossible anyway) and there's a custom recovery Safestrap,modified Twrp which allows to flash and use 6 different roms,from JB to MM,without changing the kernel...
I will be grateful if someone can point me in the right direction,to give me some useful links etc.
And is there some list which procesess are safe to freeze with TB and which ones I can greenify?
Oh,and the bloatware too...
Sorry if I'm demanding but I want to bring out the best from this phone
Thank you in advance

Hi,
root without unlocking bootloader works only on lollipop, right. Not sure if u can downgrade, but when, u will use "LGUP" tool with the "H81510D.kdz" file. Maybe there exists a pre-rooted kdz to flash.
If u want to root android 6, u need a unlocked bootloader. Rooted Android 5.1.1 or unlock bootloader with rooted android 6.x.x
Ok,I successfully unlocked the bootloader but now I'm stuck with rooting and installing Twrp...
I've downloaded BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247 and TWRP-3.0.0.0-H815+ but there's a lot of metods,which one should I use?
Flash SuperSu+Twrp with stock recovery?
Install Twrp with adb command and then flash SuperSu with Twrp?
Install both with adb command?
I also saw somewhere that I must flash some other kernel that is already rooted...
I just need root and the Xposed for now,help me guys!
Im also Confused..Where can i find rooted kernel?
I already did this Method u said...But I got Boot Loop
Then I revover my phone with Lg Bridge
We need to find this.....I also Had Android MM with V20d

In my case I wasn't able to flash recovery on the stock kernel, I had to flash boot.img unpacked from the custom kernel like SimpleGX and only then I was able to flash recovery and full kernel through it.

the method i followed was-
1. boot into twrp recovery with adb command(you need to have the twrp.img file in PC and also copy it in internal memory of your phone with SU)
2. flash systemless root with twrp
3. reboot
4. install flashify
5.flash twrp.img from your phone.
6. done
but there aren't as much benefits of rooting as any other phone. viper4android doesn't work. spirit fm doesn't work. xposed doesn't work properly.(these 3 were the main reasons for which i rooted)

I didn't know i could flash something other than .zip files with twrp.
As for viper4android i tried normal way, flashed it with twrp, flashed extreme music mod with v4a fix. None seem to work. The drivers never get installed.
Xposed i haven't tried. I was in process of getting more information about it by reading various threads. But all seem to point to problems like bootloop, fc and Bluetooth issues. Can you guide me towards the best version of xposed for v20d with way to avoid problems or with as less problems as possible?

I think doesn't need to install recovery to root the phone.
Just this:
1) adb reboot bootloader
2) fastboot boot TWRP-2-8.7.0-h815.img
Wait a second and it will open, on the phone, the recovery.
Once open go to Advanced -> ADB sideload and take a swipe to start it where it says "Swipe to Start sideload".
Now on the PC write
3) adb sideload BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247.zip
( If it says after the instalation to install supersu etc just abort it)
And then, when installation is complete, press "Reboot System"
I rooted it this way, without install TWRP Recovery

2) fastboot boot TWRP-2-8.7.0-h815.img
Wait a second and it will open, on the phone, the recovery.
Once open go to Advanced -> ADB sideload and take a swipe to start it where it says "Swipe to Start sideload".
Now on the PC write
3) adb sideload BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247.zip
( If it says after the instalation to install supersu etc just abort it)
And then, when installation is complete, press "Reboot System"
I rooted it this way, without install TWRP Recovery

Yeah - but the question has to be asked - why unlock the bootloader and root and not install TWRP? If you've got as far as unlocking the bootloader you might as well make life easier for yourself and install TWRP - that way anything you want to flash in the future can be done without being tethered to the PC, and also allows you to take proper full system image backups etc.

Of course , i agree with you. By the way, we can't root g4 on m6 without unlocked bootloader.
And finally, i decided to pass twrp on my phone, for every file i want to install from twrp, and not every time to boot from pc
You're right
p.s. the first thing i did after twrp installed, was to install g5 live wallpapers
Pulled kind of a boner. Got a Mate SE yesterday. It came with EMUI 5.1 and Android 7.0. I had read that version was still fairly easy/cheap to unlock the bootloader so I just left it as is without updating anything. Unlocked the bootloader, installed Twrp (to both recoveries) and now am unsure how to proceed with installing custom ROMs because I ended up nuking the factory ROM to install an older AOSP buggy build I found on here.
Didn’t realize that every custom ROM now seems to want you to install via fastboot with EMUI 8 required to have been installed beforehand, but I'm now stuck on this old AOSP ROM with no backup of the original & with Twrp recovery.
Sorry for all the questions but I've flash a million ROMs the old school Twrp ways since forever but this seems like a different beast. Should’ve slowed my roll. Is there some files I can flash via Fastboot or Twrp in order to use these new treble ROMs while keeping my boot loader unlocked? Thanks.

Yes, in order to use the new "gsi" rims you need to do stock firmware upgrade. It is easy to do. But completely different then you seem to be used to , with twrp.
Just search for hwota , and I have a guide thread for 7x (basicly same as mate)

Thank you. Just getting the files together but a little confused on one part. At the beginning, you say to extract the HWOTA package then put all the downloaded system files into the appropriate folder (HWOTA7 in my case), but at the final step you say to "From in TWRP install sdcard HWOTA--hi6250-7-8.zip", however that is the package we extracted from zip already before?
Does that mean I need to zip it back up with the system files I added in it in order to flash via Twrp? As is its just folders. Thanks. Just want to make sure I get everything right.

Should be two folders. One each for 7 and 8. Each with twrp, and no-check recovery . And a zip file.

Got it all done & went fine. Running Lineage at the moment. You're a life saver man, thanks!
As the title suggests my xt1922-7 is possibly bricked. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone with Magisk using the wonderful guides found here on this site. I installed the Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt ZIP file and then I started to flash a custom GSI ROM. I think this is where I messed things up.
I thought to look for a ROM from this post (ROMs that run on the G6 Play [GSI]) but none of them have successfully booted. I just want to install to the stock rom so I can try again, but fastboot won't let me because the only latest image from lolinet I can find is before the April 2020 update.
Thoughts and suggestions? I'd really just like to be able to use the device without all the bloatware that Sprint installs.
EDIT: updating OP to link where I got the stock ROM
Additional Information
I have been trying to load A/B roms, so if that's an issue someone tell me I'm stupid so I can try only the ARM64 A-only or even the ARM A roms.
maybe it's fixed? Leaving here for posterity

I followed a guide I found HERE: [guide] [root] [oreo&pie] [jeter/aljeter] [twrp, decrypt, magisk] [stock firmware]
I just flashed everything but the bootloader and partition images and it seems to work okay. I got the boot logo and the "Hello Moto" sound so that's progress.
But why can I not flash other ROMS even with TWRP, etc? I can flash, but it just reboots to the bootloader! It's driving me crazy.
Hi everyone! I know it's long so I'll try to make this short:
Final goal is lineAgeOS 14.1 or CyanogenMod 11 on this device. (https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=142288)
Device running android 4.0.4,
rooted (That was a pain),
Bootloader unlocked (unless it automatically get locked again after flashing a rom?)
current recovery is TWRP 2.4.3 (also tried cwm 5.0.2.7)
my PC running windows 7 ultimate 6 4bit.
TWRP can't flash the lineAgeOS 14.1 rom.
ADB sideload fails with the error message "device isn't connected". ADB does work fine, however, in fastboot and when booted to stock rom
So I'm trying to flash newer recovery, anything that can handle the rom.
Couldn't find newer recovery for this model. I looked ALL OVER. The generic TWRP.img (https://dl.twrp.me/twrp/) bricks the device.
(I managed to unbrick, but I'm back with the inadequate TWRP 2.4.3 or CWM 5.0.2.7).
Can anyone help me please? I've been busting my behind for 20 hours on this.
I had similar issues trying to flash custom rom to another device, problem was solved by flashing newer recovery.
So my best guess is that the problem here is similar if not identical
What's your adb version? I think maybe you need a newer version of adb. Search for 15 min adb installer on Google and you'll find a thread by Snoop05. Download version 1.4.3 and let me know if that works!

Holy **** man, that worked! Thank you so much!
Another question if that's ok: Do you know why the phone won't boot without the SD card? It seems to only boot with the card that was in it when the rom was installed. Yes, this model has a pathetic 300MB of internal memory, but a good 100mb of it is free (with the ROM installed).
Again thank you so much!
Impressive!
I also have a LT18i.
Do you remember how you succeeded to root and unlock the bootloader?
Cheers!
