What does ALI mean?

My Motorola G6 3gb/32gb is "SKU XT1925-6". It is a straight unlocked version that I purchased from Best Buy in the United States. Will this version of TWRP work for me? My baseband version shows ALI_NA_CUST at the end of it and is software channel retus.

Thank you.

Thank you.

ALI is the codename for the Moto G6. This will work for you, please read all notes in the first post before using though. Bought mine from Target! Same model #

I heard a rumour that official TWRP latest won't flash zips that uses BusyBox like Opengapps pico and I'll need unofficial TWRP to flash these zips for GSI roms. Is this true?

That's the case. I need to see if they can trigger a new build with the fixed code. The unofficial one in the first post will work (I built it). I meant to update the first post with that information a while back.

It might as well be and will be eventually. TeamWin is slacking.

I need to verify the test-build is working correctly lol... I realized it was making them as I changed the code. After that happens I'll have them update the official. I have been short on free time lately but when I get the chance I'll get it worked out.

XT1925-13

My Motorola G6 4gb/64gb is "SKU XT1925-13" and was bought in India. The build number says "OPSS27.82-87-6, the baseband version shows "ALI_INDIADSDS_CUST" at the end of it and the software channel is "retin".
Will this version of TWRP work on this device?

when you wipe data, partitions are formatted and unencrypted, as soon you boot fstab.qcom includes forceencrypt which will lead to rencryption automatically. you can either change in tbe file mentioned to encryptable instead of forceencrypt or there is a flashable zip to disable encryption. another option is to use magisk and disable keep force encrypt

    Update March 23, 2019: I'd like to apologize to everyone. It looks like I am not going to be able to actively keep this thread updated like I used to. I have had too much going on at home an work and it doesn't look like it's going to settle down any time soon. The thread is still usable so I will leave it open for discussion.

    This is the first official build of TWRP for the Motorola Moto G6 (ALI)!

    Notes:
    • Decryption is finicky: Currently only vold decryption is working. This image must be flashed to properly decrypt. Updates may cause issues with decryption.
    • If you format data (Not just factory reset) after decrypting you must reboot into recovery and format again.
    • If you are unable to unlock your phone after restoring a data backup that had a lock code on it (and TWRP is able to decrypt using default password) you'll need remove the '/data/system/locksettings.db' while in TWRP. After that you should be able to reboot into Android and set a lock code. If you cannot then please use this thread as a guide and try again. Bascially you just delete more, however I was able to boot after just deleting the one file with a pattern set (Maybe random luck, maybe not)
    If you have any other issues please let me know and I'll work toward fixing them! AS ALWAYS, IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU USE THIS SOFTWARE

    Known Issues:
    • I have just noticed some odd behaviour if you input an incorrect decryption password/pattern/etc in twrp. It can cause an issue while entering the lockscreen password/pattern/etc while booting up. Under normal circumstances these two are the same, hence why restoring can also cause a similar issue, though that one is easily fixable. The onIy way to clear the decryption pass is to format. I am unsure at the moment what is causing this, but clearly it has something to do with the decryption. At this time I'd say it'd be best to remove your current lockscreen password/pattern/etc before booting into twrp to avoid this issue. A possible work-around would be to reboot to twrp, enter the correct password, back up your data, format (reboot to twrp and format again), then restore your backup (and possibly need to delete the '/data/system/locksettings.db' file. Your data would still exist that way. I am going to work to fix this asap and maybe see if I can get another build without decryption made for official use for now.
    • Flashing zips that require BusyBox will not work with the official version right now. I've built an unofficial version to use until a new official build is triggered.

    Decryption doesn't work for me. XT1925-6 Ali
    I'll need more details if I'm to look into it. I also have an xt1925-6. Any logs? What version software are you running? What kind of lock screen are you using (pin, password, pattern, none, etc)? What happened from booting twrp up to the point of decryption failure? The more information I have the better chance I have at rectifying the issue.


    [EDIT] I just did some messing around and came across something I hadn't seen before:

    I have just noticed some odd behaviour if you input an incorrect decryption password/pattern/etc in twrp.

    I have added this to the first post.

    I have added an unofficial build tonight (Oct/31/2018) to fix an issue flashing zips that need busybox (Resurrected Kernel, etc) versus toybox. It also adds a 'vendor image' mount point for use in backups and flashing. Once official gets updated this unofficial build will be removed.

    Hello, could you consider supporting the Moto g 6 play xt922-4 I'm welling to help out with logs or anyfile if needed.

    There are certain reasons there is no official twrp for our moto g6 play devices yet. Is there issue your having?. Dejello supports the regular g6 and for all intensive purposes I've being doing support for the g6 play.



    I don't have access (well, sort of but not really) to a g6 play. My son has one, but it's not unlocked or anything and I won't experiment on his phone without having everything backed up.... Besides, getting the damn thing away from him for extended periods when he isn't in trouble would be something.... :eek: I thing it's glued to his face or something.

    I am also not up to date on any issues or reasons why twrp isn't official for the g6 play. Be aware that even this version for the g6 has some issues (workarounds are available for everything so you won't lose anything) still.

    I've been debating looking into it, but haven't yet for reasons above.
