Great work of Vitor and others.

I rely on crdroid 6/7 on my XT1685's, so happy to see it been ported to XT1965
PBRP is also a nice embellished alternative to TWRP. Not sure if I should flash TWRP 3.5 again or stick with this unofficial PBRP 3.0 . It works fine anyway.

I am grateful as always to all devs involved in making an effort to make such as smooth ROM available.
Highly recommended for people with XT1965.

Thanx heaps !

Flashing Instructions:​

-> Boot twrp \(or reboot to twrp\)
-> Flash copy-partitions-AB.zip
-> Choose Wipe, Format data (type "yes")
-> Flash ROM.zip
-> Flash twrp.zip
-> Reboot

Where do I find the files listed:
copy-partitions-AB.zip (is it https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/twrp-for-moto-g7-river.3921365/ ?)
ROM.zip: is this "crDroidAndroid-11.0-20210913-lake-v7.10.zip"?
twrp.zip: is this "twrp-installer-3.5.2_9-0-lake.zip"

Isn't copy-partitions-AB only for the Moto G7 and NOT the G7 Plus?

I'm used to loading TWRP and then flashing:

crDroidAndroid-11.0-20210913-lake-v7.10.zip
NikGapps-core-arm64-11-20210918-signed.zip
Magisk-v23.zip

I'm doing this on a new phone.

Is the process different now?
Are these the steps I should use?

Unlock the bootloader
Install TWRP
Reboot to TWRP
Install crDroid
Reboot to TWRP
Install NikGapps and Magisk
Reboot to TWRP
Wipe Dalvick and Cache
Boot to System

Do you have an update? I picked up the XT1965-T and am ready to unlock, root, flash crDroid.

 

[jockovonred]

Here are the steps I've used and it has worked quite well. It comes with the usual caveats of do this at your own risk.

Record phone information:

-> open cmd prompt for platform-tools folder
-> mkdir MoreInfo

-> boot into bootloader (hold power and volume down, then power and volume up but don't hold)
-> connect phone to PC

-> fastboot devices (should return serialno result for phone)

-> fastboot --version > MoreInfo\fastboot_version.txt
-> fastboot getvar all 2> MoreInfo\fastboot_getvar_all.txt
-> fastboot oem hw 2> MoreInfo\fastboot_oem_hw.txt
-> fastboot oem partition 2> MoreInfo\fastboot_oem_partition.txt
-> fastboot oem get_unlock_data 2> MoreInfo\fastboot_oem_get_unlock_data.txt

Backup EFS and partitions:

-> Boot into Bootloader
-> fastboot boot <twrp>.img
-> nandroid backup
at a minimum:
efs
modem
system
data
mount system, backup build.prop to zfiles\backup
(I was able to backup ALL the partitions)
-> copy backups off phone to storage either via PC or OTG/USB flash drive

INFO
adb devices (should start adb and return serialno result for phone)

adb shell "ls -la /dev/block/by-name/" > MoreInfo\block_partitions.txt

adb shell "ls -al /dev/block/platform", use result in next query
adb shell "ls -al /dev/block/platform/soc", use result in next query

adb shell "ls -la /dev/block/platform/soc/c0c4000.sdhci/by-name/" > MoreInfo\soc_partitions.txt
adb shell "cat /proc/mounts" > MoreInfo\mounts.txt
adb shell "df" > MoreInfo\df.txt


MISCELLANEOUS
adb shell "cat default.prop" > MoreInfo\default.prop
adb shell "cat /proc/cpuinfo" > MoreInfo\cpuinfo.txt
adb shell "cat /proc/meminfo" > MoreInfo\meminfo.txt
adb shell "cat /proc/partitions" > MoreInfo\partitions.txt
adb shell "cat /sdcard/zfiles/backup/build.prop" > MoreInfo\build.prop


BACKUP
adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p57 of=/sdcard/logo_a.img bs=4096"
adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p58 of=/sdcard/logo_b.img bs=4096"

adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p45 of=/sdcard/boot_a.img bs=4096"
adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p46 of=/sdcard/boot_b.img bs=4096"

adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p68 of=/sdcard/system_a.img bs=4096"
adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p69 of=/sdcard/system_b.img bs=4096"

modemst1 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p34
modemst2 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p35
adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p34 of=/sdcard/efs1.img bs=4096"
adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p35 of=/sdcard/efs2.img bs=4096"

Unlock the bootloader. (This is only done one time.)

-> Steps: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-unlock-your-g7-bootloader.3906858/

Install ROM:

-> Boot into Bootloader
-> fastboot boot <twrp>.img
- - OR - - -
-> Boot into TWRP Recovery (if already installed)

-> Flash <copy-partitions.zip
-> Flash modified boot logo (I modified the file to load it via TWRP)
- - OR - - -
fastboot flash logo_a logo.bin
fastboot flash logo_b logo.bin

-> Choose Wipe, Format data (type "yes")
-> Flash <ROM>.zip
-> Flash <twrp>.zip
-> Reboot into Recovery

-> Reboot into System
-> Reboot into Recovery
-> Flash <GApps>.zip, NikGapps Core (or OpenGapps Nano)
-> Flash <Magisk>.zip (or apk as it works too)
-> Reboot into System

Pass SafetyNet:

-> Open Magisk and update it

-> To pass SafetyNet, enable MagiskHide in Magisk
-> in MagiskHide, ensure Google Play servies is enabled
-> Test SafetyNet

If any issues, flash stock image of choice:
-> flashfile.bat
- - OR - - -
-> use LMSA (Rescue and Smart Assistant)

I have successfully flashed the following stock images without issue -

Lolinet:

lolinet mirrors - firmware, software, iso etc.

lolinet mirrors - powered by h5ai

I appreciate you have created this extensive list of steps
Albeit I don't need the instructions myself , since I am already running crDroid11 7.11, I will keep it in my notes if I ever get my hands on another G7+.
Thanks for your efforts.

 

[jockovonred]

Is there any chance we can have an update with the December 2021 security patches?
Also, is there any chance we can have a "double tap to wake" feature, like the G5+?

 

[piotrv]

I totally agree this is a true missing feature in crdroid 7 for lake, which was available in crdroid 6 for potter !

 

[jockovonred]

Happy new year! I am looking forward to continued updates for this ROM. If there's a way I can contribute, let me know.

 

[ahmadaamer6]

Hello,

Any plans on updating this ROM? Even just a security patch update would be nice. Thanks for all the hard work.

How does the Moto G5 Plus get security updates on CrDroid, but Moto G7 Plus does not?

Hi! How's battery and stability? Did you guys notice any bugs? I'm thinking of flashing this ROM on my gf's G7.
Thanks!

How to "Reboot into Recovery" while in the System?

 

[jockovonred]

How to "Reboot into Recovery" while in the System?

With the phone powered off, press and hold the Volume Down button and the Power button at the same time until the device turns on.

Video:

The instructions indicate booting into System.
Then booting into Recovery following the usual process.
This means powering off the device after booting into System, and then entering Recovery.

Hence the wording "Reboot".

Also with TWRP installed, select Recovery in the power settings when in System:
-> Hold power button
-> Select Power, then Restart, then Recovery

Vol- + Power into Bootloader. From there select Recovery, etc...
