[Official] [5th April 2021] TWRP 3.5.2_9-0 Moto G5 [Cedric] [32/64bit Roms]

[TheFixItMan]

I had an issue with version 3.4.0-1. When I tried to wipe or flash system partitiion I got following message:

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.

I can't see any difference in the device tree between the versions in regards to how system is mounted so this maybe a twrp issue if rebooting to recovery after wiping data to remove encryption doesn't allow you to mount all partitions correctly and swiping rigjt to allow modifications to system partition on first run of twrp.

It is.

In your case use

fastboot boot recovery twrp.img

It will boot into twrp recovery without permanently flashing it

For some reason the latest version is 1mb bigger than the previous 64bit version but I no longer support this device in terms of compiling & testing

Why would it destroy your device?

Newer versions of twrp will have little impact on this device anyway as its base firmware is old

Read previous posts - either use an older version or boot instead of flash

I don't maintain the 64bit version
Maybe @JarlPenguin can address the issue and push the changes to twrp

It would not be easier to leave twrp in the version twrp-3.5.0_9-0 delete the most recent

I have no control over what is on the twrp website - official builds are built automatically. As mentioned before @JarlPenguin would need to update the source code & push to twrp or someone else would need to take over maintenance.

I no longer own this device so I can't maintain the code as I have nothing to test on

 

[nift4]

btw @TheFixItMan jarl fixed 3.5.2_9, it is flashable again

it happened to me before that was what I did

1. flash TWRP again
2. transfer DM-VERITY & FORCEENCRYPT DISABLER to memory card
3. go to Wipe in TWRP then in Format Data you write yes back to start go to Reboot restart in recovery flashes DM-VERITY & FORCEENCRYPT DISABLER
4. restart in systema configure the device and enjoy

which firmware are you on
OPP28.85-19-4-2
OPPS28.85-13-6
NPPS25.137-93-14
if you can't flash you will have to patch the boot.img with Magisk and flash it with fastboot and then install TWRP App choose Cedric
