------------------------
thx for the good tutorial ;)
------------------------

maybe i am blind, but it is not possible for me to start twrp after installation.

after installation fastboot reports:

#########################
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (14606 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.468s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) Image not signed or corrupt
OKAY [ 0.284s]
finished. total time: 0.757s
#########################

---> My very simple question is: How do I start twrp after reboot.
Of course I used the key combination to get into Fastboot mode - but what happens next?

[edit]
- i am on the last stock-android (oreo ), and phone is unlocked via motorola-code.
- of course i try the recovery-option in the fastboot-menue

coming from fastboot mode, you can navigate with Volume Down/Up to "Recovery Mode" and select and start it by pressing the power button

In bootloader mode use the volume buttons to navigate to recovery and push the power button

If you restart your device before you enter twrp for the first time & swipe to allow modifications you will have to reflash it

--> I found, that twrp was not installed on the phone by using <fastboot flash recovery.img>
my solution - using boot command instead of flash:
1) copy recovery.img on the phone
2) entering fastboot via power&vol-
3) start powershell in the PC-Folder with the recovery.img
4) <fastboot boot recovery.img> to boot the twrp on the phone via fastboot
5) within fastboot go on "Install" and install the recovery.img into recovery
6) swipe and reflash as @TheFixItMan mentioned above

BIG THX FOR SUPPORT :good:

Thanks to @JarlPenguin the offical twrp source code has been updated to now allow 64bit roms installs

Version twrp-3.4.0-1-cedric.img is the new 64bit build (will also work on 32bit Roms)
Version twrp-3.4.0-0-cedric.img is the original 32bit build

I had an issue with version 3.4.0-1. When I tried to wipe or flash system partitiion I got following message:
Code:
Failed to unmount '/system' (Device or resource busy)
I also could not unmount system partition from mount menu: I touched the tick next to "system" but it kept being marked. Other partitions mounted/unmounted ok.
I tried twrp-3.2.3-0-cedric.img. This one did not have the issue. I wiped the system partition. After reboot I flashed 3.4.0-1 and now flashing works.

The system partition was stock firmware (never flashed yet). Seems like 3.4.0-1 has some issue with stock system partition.

    Important Notes For Stock Rom Users
    When you first start TWRP it will ask you to swipe to allow modifications - If you do this your stock rom will no longer boot unless you disable dm-verity.
    This can be done either by flashing a disable dm-verity zip or by flashing Magisk zip which will disable it for you

    FAQs


    Q - Does the official twrp version support 64bit roms?
    A - Yes - as of version 3.4.0-1

    Q - I get error 255 when trying to flash a rom
    A - You are using a 32bit twrp version. Please update to the latest 64bit version

    Q - Can I use the 64bit version on 32bit roms?
    A - Yes the 64bit version supports both 64bit & 32bit roms

    Q - Does the official twrp version support treble rom?
    A - Yes - as of version 3.4.0-1

    Q - Does this recovery support decryption of data
    A - Yes on all current 32/64bit roms - If you swap roms you will need to format data first to remove encryption before flashing the new rom then you can encrypt again

    Q - My phone keeps booting to recovery on restart and can only be started normally through the bootloader
    A - First try removing your SD card and see if your phone boots - If that doesn't work see This Post

    Q - Where is the disable dm-verity zip?
    A - You can download it Here
    or old version can be found Here

    Q - Where is the Magisk zip
    A - See Magisk Thread
    You may need to manually install the magisk manager app apk depending on which rom you are using

    Q - It says "image not signed or corrupt" when I flashed image
    A - This is normal as the image is not signed by Motorola

    Q - When restoring backup I get an error starting Extracttarfork
    A - Sometimes you need to format data before restoring backup - In fastboot mode enter the command
    fastboot erase userdata
    This will format all data on internal storage (pictures music documents downloads etc) so backup first!
