Can't install any Customs Roms - Error 255 in TWRP

[junglebungle]

Any ideas? I've tried TWRP 3.1.1.0 and 3.2.1.0 but it just reports back "updater process ended with error 255" and terminates?

Please help.

You are using the 32bit twrp to try and install a 64bit rom

My official twrp does not support 64bit roms - if you read the faqs in my twrp thread you would know this

Read the instructions in the 64bit rom thread & use the unofficial 64bit twrp

Note - I do not support the unofficial 64bit twrp as I did not build it

Hi all,
when i use the 64 bit version i cant see any folders other than root folders. So i cant find the zips to flash. Any thoughts please?

Select internal storage and it will show all folders in internal memory.

 

[grwalker]

Thanks.

I did that. I see the root folders but nothing in internal storage. And the size of internal storage shows as 0MB

Thanks

Scroll down
Select storage folder
Select something like emulated then 0

If you don't see emulated than 0 or the folder is empty then internal storage isn't mounted - check the mount section of twrp or try using a different twrp

To check external storage it's the same as above but you select emulated then the folder with the sdcard hex value as its name which is different with every sdcard

Thanks for the post.

Unfortunately no luck. I cant see anything in the storage folder.

I have tried to mount internal storage also with no luck. Internal storage shows as 0MB

I have tried all 64 bit versions of twrp from the link in this post (https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=236353)

Looking at your phone it doesn't look like a moto g5

It looks more like a g5 plus or g5s

What is your device xt name eg xt1676 - if it's not a moto g5 codename cedric you are in the wrong device forum and using the wrong twrp

Yes it is a G5. Here's a photo from bootloader

FYI... when i flash 32bit TWRP i can see internal storage. But, of course, i cant flash custom roms from there because they are 64bit. Tried with lineage and Res remix. Error255 results

Try this twrp
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1MLlljM7BzMj9Da57LeyBHyg81cHdW1cB

If you can't mount internal storage your only option might be to format it

This will delete everything in the internal user data - pictures music documents etc - backup first!

Wipe - format data (option on the right)
Restart back to recovery
If it's not mountable wipe advanced wipe data and internal storage

Note if you didn't decrypt data (if asked) when launching twrp you need to format data anyway to remove encryption in order to be able to mount it
Also some 64bit twrp don't support encryption so it might not even ask for decrypt - the one I posted above should support encryption but you still need to format data if flashing a new rom

Thanks, those steps worked.

Interesting on first install i didnt get a question about decrypting.

After reformat the only folder i saw in /sdcard was TWRP. So i dropped the rom and gapps zips in there. No problem flashing from there

Thanks for the help

Unless you set a lock screen pin and enabled encryption you won't

64bit twrp has encryption issues - I think the one I provided allows you to decrypt data on 64bit roms if you do encrypt it (depending on rom)

I don't have this device anymore so I only built the 32bit official twrp when I had it

Also you won't have any other files/folder in internal storage until you boot android for the first time which is why you only had the twrp folder there

You device is encrypted, so you need to format the device to gain access to the internal storage, so format the device.

Format<format<yes.

Take a back up of internal storage, so you don't lose Data.

Hello.

After reading, I did a hard reset to bootloader (buttons) and then just plugged USB and flashed your twrp-64 with fastboot; clean install and

Thanks a lot, sir.

Official twrp now supports 64bit roms

You need version twrp-3.4.0-1-cedric.img
