    @KtownJeff I tried using twrp-3.5.0-lake-v2.img, but it wasn't interpreting (decrypting?) storage properly once loaded. I only loaded it by using fastboot boot, so I don't know if actually flashing it to the recovery (or A/B) makes a difference (vs fastboot boot), but my files appeared...

    Post Progress: Boost Mobile Moto E4

    While your work is still early-going, I'm curious what your thoughts are about compiling images for the E4 (and other devices) as 64-bit. The E4 ships with a 32-bit build of Android, despite having 64-bit capable hardware. I ask because at least Google Camera, (possibly other applications)...

    Buy Moto E4 (unlocked) models on Amazon, Jet or another retailer for $110 (or less). They must be the unlockable variant. Unlock each bootloader individually via Motorola (this is supported and you can read about it on their website.) Once each bootloader is unlocked, followed the "root"...

    Post Root question

    If you get ERROR 1, you probably need to flash a stock boot.img first. Magisk wants to edit the boot.img, and if you have already edited it and try to edit an editted one, it'll fail. If the phone won't boot, be sure you flashed dm-verity. Boot to cedric twrp flash dm-verity flash su reboot

    Marshmallow is really, really smooth so far. It's excellent. The only tidbit I've found so far is that "Miscellaneous" is reporting very high battery use--it's by far the largest consumer. Is this perhaps due to Doze not being fully implemented, or some other issue?
