It seems that it is not possible to flash TWRP on Moto E4 (XT1762)
- Thread starter Spielmops
- Start date
Pleas do me a favour and give me the output of:
Code:
fastboot get_var allI wanted to make Photos of my smartphone while unlocking. That was the 4th time I made an unlock. This time my device was really unlocked. I got the lines
and could flash the TWRP as recovery. I tried to install SuperSU v. 2.82, but the install-process told me "failure". No root.
@Ergo Bibamus You have root? Which version of SuperSU did the work for you?
Code:
(bootloader) warranty: no

Error installing zip file '/external_sd/superuser.zip'@Ergo Bibamus: did you root it this way?
Swipe does not work without root. And what has "swipe" to do with superuser.zip failing to root?

You can try magisk. It will root, just no modules. There is a fix for that. F2fs loopback bug workaround module.
Did you format data and install the no verity opt encrypt zip? To unencrypt. You must do that for root.

I didn't keep the logs but I know what I've done after flashing TWRP:
(You'll also need no-verity zip file)
- boot into bootloader (this time I used press & hold power + volume down button)
- press volume down until you see recovery mode
- press power button to boot into recovery mode
(- make a backup)
- wipe data
- click on Install, then select superuser zip file
- also install no-verity zip file
- reboot into Android and
- install phh superuser app (apk file)
That works for me.
You can verify root using the root checker app.
First time I heard of that "verity opt encrypt zip". I have a brand new phone and did nothing with it. I did not encrypt anything.
Or is the boot-partition encrypted and I need verity to unencrypt it? Where can I read about that and where to download it.
The phone's data partition is encrypted upon first boot. When you flash no verity opt encrypt it sets the flag in boot to opt encrypt instead of force encrypt. Formatting data after the flash removes encryption.
There are guides for recovering after brick, which include root procedure.

The original root guide seems to be gone. There is also a link in that thread to their telegram chat with all files and procedures for this device.

Ok, thank you both. I have my phone rooted by Magisk without any further problem.
Nice. Also, if you want to use magisk modules, you'll have to install the f2fs loopback bug workaround module. It needs to be installed in twrp.
