I flash the image over fastboot and it works... Thx for the link!
Now I'm stock 7.1.1

No way to connect with rsd lite 6.2.4 over fastboot.

Camera broke

Heyho, made everything exactly as described..... now my Camera is always crashing and doesnt work properly. Do you know any Fix? Would be cool because I like taking Photos^^

 

[LukasSTM]

Nice tutorial man, but I have two problems:
If I try to flash SuperSU my Camera stops working
If I try to flash Magisk my Bluetooth stops working
Any way to fix this?
Obs. 7.1.1 stock

#Edit: Only now I noticed that it is for android 7.0 *facepalm*, so maybe that's why my problems?

Just install TWRP via fastboot commands, then flash magisk and it's done.

hey dude, im in 7.1.1 stock non rooted. i want to root my moto z. if i read correctly so here's step to root my device.
- download twrp
- flash twrp via fastboot
- reboot into twrp
- and flash magisk via twrp

it's that all ?
and do i ave to unlock my bootloader ?

thanks

First, unlock bootloader, then do as you said.

First, unlock bootloader, then do as you said.

So I'm on 7.1.1 retus 1650-03 unlock bootloader

Flashed TWRP and got the not signed/corrupt error.

Ignored it. Did a fastboot reboot. While holding the key combo per the TWRP page instructions.

So far, I have nothing installed.

Am I missing something?

Edit: I got it to boot into TWRP for me just a matter of using the volume button (courtesy of the G4 forum) and scrolling to Recovery. However, upon reboot of the whole system it loses TWRP.

Thus, again sadly, what am I missing?

Hi,
My moto Z is on stock 7.1.1
I tried to flash TWRP recovery in fastboot mode. and got this message:

PS C:\platform-tools> fastboot flash recovery griffin.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (23452 KB)...
OKAY [  0.495s]

[B][COLOR="Red"](bootloader) Image not signed or corrupt[/COLOR][/B]

finished. total time: 1.198s
PS C:\platform-tools> adb reboot recovery

is there any way to flash TWRP on 7.1.1?

Edit:
this post on reddit helped me

Step by step guide: (Rooting the Moto Z (XT1650-05) on stock 7.1.1 NPL26.118-20)
1 - adb reboot bootloader
2 - fastboot flash recovery twrp-griffin.img (I used this: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=157130)
3 - You probably see corrupted message. ignore that
4 - DON'T fastboot reboot bootloader, if you reboot the recovery will disappear.
5 - Use volume keys to enter the recovery, wait few minutes to TWRP opens.
6 - Download lasted magisk and flash via TWRP (Here: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445)
7 - Done. the TWRP will remain after every reboot.

Ha! I was searching there too. But I found a process for the G5+ and it's the same method. The only thing I found is there is no menu for powering off to go to recovery (at least on stock ROM). Thus, you gotta use volume down and power to get to bootloader screen then scroll to recovery to TWRP.

Use this app to add restart to recovery option in power menu :highfive:

I wonder if erfan could add menu options on an update.

Thank you very much!!!

Did you download TWRP for your device?
If you did, you have to replace "twrp.img" with the actual name of the image you downloaded.
Do you know what I mean?
