[TWRP][lux] TWRP for Moto X Play

vache · Sep 5, 2015

This is my version of TWRP built for the 2015 Moto X Play. It should work fine, but using it is a try at your own risk procedure. Your bootloader must be unlocked to use this recovery. Fastboot mode is used to flash or boot this recovery. To enter fastboot mode, turn off your device, hold PWR and VolDn for 3 seconds, then let go.

Differences between upstream TWRP and my fork:

My original green theme
No SuperSU
No TWRP app
No HTC Dumlock cruft
Updated pigz compressor (slightly faster and more tolerant of corruption)

To temporarily boot this recovery:

Code:

fastboot boot twrp.img

To permanently flash it:

Code:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

The download is up on the downloads tab.

Is this actually built for X Play? I know it sounds silly but there's no kernel source yet is there? Or do we not need that to build recovery?

Yes it's build for X Play, based on G 2015 device tree. I'm using MSM8916 generic kernel from Motorola, modded by @squid2 (https://github.com/sultanqasim/android_kernel_motorola_msm8916)

Ahh that's great. Thanks for this my device should be delivered tomorrow so I'll be definitely using this.

We will still need kernel source for cm12 etc though surely?

TWRP working fine here on XT1562
I'm making a stock TWRP Backup + some partition dump
Next move will be starting playing with CM12.1

Yes i think we'll have to wait for kernel sources to get a working custom.
Already build one (SOKP) but cannot get it to boot (with stock kernel or msm8916 kernel)

can you please upload your dumps and backups if there are ready for it?
i have a broken XT1562 without a nandroid or other backups...

thanks

Thanks for this Vache! However, just to let you know this is still showing as Moto G 2015 when plugged into my PC whilst in recovery - not sure if that's normal or not?

Hopefully they have a XT1563 full backup soon as well. Cheers.

@vache
Try adding these to the defconfig: https://github.com/sultanqasim/andr..._twrp2/arch/arm/configs/ext_config/lux.config

EDIT: I made a dedicated defconfig that you can try for this recovery: https://github.com/sultanqasim/andr...p2/arch/arm/configs/msm8916-minilux_defconfig

Nico3d3 · Sep 7, 2015

Wow thanks for your great work. Soon, we'll be able to get custom kernel to go with the stock firmware. We will probably get better performance with a properly tuned CPU governor. I'd also love to see CM12 being ported but the Moto firmware is already really good. In fact, I'm not sure if I could live without the added feature like Moto Voice and Moto Assist.

@squid2 Did you used the lux_defconfig in ext_defconfig ?

Already tried with those addition, the phone boot but i have no RIL. (Stock ROM)
Ill post a new reco with this kernel.

EDIT : Published a new version, with the new kernel config, that fix brightness and vibration.

So flashing this restores functionality on a XT1562?
And another thing, if your TWRP version is working when I fastboot boot it, is it guaranteed that it'll work when I fastboot flash it? And another thing: Is there a possibility to backup stock recovery, just in case TWRP doesn't work properly? I tried booting your TWRP version and backing it up but that didn't work (duh.)

Best wishes

Stock Recovery is also available on my backup.
And yes, if TWRP is working while booting it, should work also fine when flashing it.
Be sure to use the latest version by @vache

derelektrischemoench · Sep 7, 2015

Ok thx.

And another thing, I made a backup of my recovery partition via ls -al /dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name

followed by
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p32 (the partition that had the name "recovery"assigned in the output of the first command)

and got a nice recovery.img written to my sdcard.

Now from my understanding, in case something goes wrong with TWRP i should be able to restore my stock recovery via fastboot flash recovery nameoftheimagethatidumped.img, is that correct?

Got it booting, my repack method was wrong. All seems to work fine now.
Now trying to build a custom ROM.
