[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP 3.5.0

[vache]

Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.​

Hello, I'm trying to port TWRP to the motorola edge plus and right now I'm running into an issue where my touchscreen and adb do not work. Could you publish the device tree you used here so I can take a look at it and potentially get it working on my phone?

Thanks.

You'd better check the moto edge tree : https://github.com/boulzordev/android_device_motorola_racer/tree/twrp

Unified one for trinket devices is here : https://github.com/moto-sm6xxx/android_device_motorola_sofiar/tree/twrp

Where to look at :
recovery/root/vendor/firmware - firmwares for touchscreen and vibrator
recovery/root/sbin/modules - drivers for touchscreen/battery/vibrator
recovery/root/sbin/load_ts_firmware.sh - in charge to load modules and tell touchscreen driver which firmware to load

Just like to confirm that this is working great either booted or installed. Thanks for the hard work vache :good::good:

There is no system partition to install to in TWRP. Super is listed twice. It may be nice to know what partitions listed actually mean.
No checkbox activation:
System
Vendor
product
USB storage

It would be nice to see users searching by themself.
Google for "dynamic partitions" and "fastbootd". That could also help you to understand why omni is shipped as images for now instead of flashable zip.

Oh thanks, I didn't even know you had a moto edge tree. I'll take a look at it and see what I can do with it.

OMNI

Most people agree OMNI is a great ROM. System, Vendor, and product are critical partitions for ROM flashing so I am surprised TWRP does not toggle them correctly.

Changelog :
-Fixed Novatech touchscreen

I can confirm that it is fixed. I used Magisk's adb/fastboot module to unlock my Moto G Fast with my rooted G7 Play with a USB C to C cable, boot twrp, and make a back up. This is epic!

It took some digging to figure this out, so I'm going to outline the steps for getting this installed without a boot loop.

1. Unlock your device. (I'm not holding your hand here.)
2. Reboot into fastboot.
3. Temporarily boot twrp.
4. Install magisk by flashing the latest zip from twrp. Then flash the copy partitions zip so you don't hard brick.
5. Reboot to system, and you're now rooted.
6. Reboot into recovery.
7. From stock recovery select "enter fastboot" this takes you to "fastboot d" mode.
8. Flash twrp while you're in fastbootd mode.
9. Enjoy! Everything is working perfectly. Rebooting to recovery takes you to TWRP. Rebooting to system gives you root. We also have full decryption support.

I'm rather new to the scene, everything you're saying here makes sense except the copypartions.zip. Is this something that is the same for all phones or is there a special file i should have for the g fast?

 

[ninjakira]

and still bootloop lmao, im doing the exact steps provided exactly as i see them on this thread, christ ill send 20 bucks through paypal to whoever makes a actual detailed guide with explanations on what to do like for example what is the copy partitions zip? whats it for? do i make a patched boot image first if im coming from full stock? do i do any of this to the other partition? treat it like your making it for noobs like christ is it that hard to help out now lmao

If you have done an OTA update on the phone, AFAIK you don't need the copy-partitions.zip. The zip copies needed partitions from the used slot to the unused slot. So if it does change from one to another, you aren't left with a completely blank slot with nothing on it. (As i said, if you have done a OTA update, both slots will be populated, so it isn't necessary to flash the zip..)

SOMEONE SMARTER THAN ME CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG ON THE ABOVE STATEMENT PLEASE

So.. assuming you are on clean stock and you have done an OTA update... In fastboot:

(make sure you have a magisk.zip on your phone or sd card)

fastboot flash recovery <twrpfilename>.img

Then enter recovery mode from the bootloader menu you are still in.
Wait for twrp to load, install magisk, reboot.
Profit.
Now you are rooted, with twrp permanently installed.

p.s: Keep the 20 bucks and send it to vache :silly:
