[EXPERIMENTAL] TWRP Dirty Port for Moto E6

[jasonmerc]

Since Visible is pretty much giving away the e6 with any old trade in maybe the op will finally get one.

If you can actually get one for free and would be willing to donate it to "science", I'd be interested. I don't have visible mobile myself and I've got a pretty good phone now I wouldn't want to trade in. I don't want you spending any actual money though, especially since I can't guarantee anything, but if anyone was willing to donate anything (if I understood your message correctly) I'd be down to take it in and see what I could do with it

Sorry about the lack of responses, been busy this past month with schooling. Lacked energy and motivation to get back on XDA and see how things were turning out.

The only reason I was hanging on to my E6 was in the hopes that someone (maybe you) would make TWRP. But since you have no intention of getting it, I have no intention of holding onto it. Been trying to flash a ROM via ADB for a while now (with failure), if it doesn't work out, I may just donate mine to you. Keep in mind, I dont know if this is important, but I am pretty sure my E6 has a bad ESN, if that matters with development. Thanks for your work.

I don't think ESNs have to do with development or flashing things, that shouldn't make a difference as far as I'm aware. If it's got a bad ESN that could mean multiple things, I think it would be better off if you just kept it. Thank you for the offer though

Unfortunate

I figured I'd try my hand at helping you folks out. If anyone wants to test this use, fastboot boot twrp.img and let me know what happens. If it doesn't boot then try flashing this modified dtbo.img, then try booting twrp immediately after. Also try the same thing using your stock dtbo.img. This was made against RETUS using my twrp for the G6 Play as a donor.

I appreciate the attempt but it did not work. With stock dtbo or the modified one you included.

Did it send you straight to fastboot or did it boot the OS?

 

[koyo]

Neither. It tried to boot to OS but it then asked me to factory reset data because it failed to load.

That's a actually not a bad sign. I think it's just the fstabs. I'll take a look and rewrite them either tonight, or in the morning. I don't have much experience with system as root devices, but I think that I can get it working.

You are one of God's many gifts to Earth. We all appreciate it, even those who are lurking with no account.

I am trying to get it to compile from source but it errors out every time. I can give you my twrp.fstab if you'd like. Or you can DM me and maybe we can work on it.

A little tardy to the party, but has there been any progress? I've tried all three images. The first one doesn't work, and the other two will get stuck at the splash screen and then reboot, which promptly restores the factory recovery because of dm-verity. I'd love to see a working TWRP image, and I have an E6 that I use for experiments of sorts that I'm willing to test stuff with.

You can get it past the twrp splash screen if that's where you're stuck by doing "fastboot -w" then "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" then boot into recovery. Unfortunately, even once TWRP opens up it leaves you with no touchscreen. Need an OTG cable and mouse but was able to get TWRP functioning. Hope this helps everyone.

What image where you able to get past the splash screen?

Did you ever figure this out? I'd like to know as well. I actually have this device now, so I'm sure I could get the touchscreen working. I already figured how to do it for the Moto G7 Play a few weeks ago.

Unfortunately I did not.

I'll test them all and try fixing it anyways.

Personally, images 2 and 3 got me into the splash screen, and I have verified that fastboot -w can get you past it, with the exception of a dysfunctional touch screen. Unfortunately, fastboot -w basically factory resets the phone, which means that you'd have to wipe it via adb every time you want to boot into TWRP. Maybe fixing the touch screen would also fix that issue? Idk. Just lmk if I can help in any way.

I can fix the touchscreen. I just need to find the display panel name and insmod the driver. Check back in like ~30min or so. I appreciate the info!
