Development [RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP 3.6.2-11_0 for Denver/Osaka

[d3f4lt99]

My apologies, do I download boot.img or skym3.zip? And flash via TWRP correct? And is there a way to do the flash without TWRP or computer?

skym3.zip is for flashing via TWRP
boot.img is for flashing via fastboot
As for without TWRP or a computer, if your phone is rooted you could use an app like FlashFire to flash either option

Found out FlashFire probably isn't a good option for flashing since chainfire is no longer doing updates. I used EX Kernel Manger and it did the charm. Thank you very much!

Why does my phone keep restarting while making a backup of stock ROM? I boot TWRP without flashing it. Does it have to do with permissions or something?

I had to flash TWRP and install magisk to be able to do backup.

You had the same issue? I don't mind flashing TWRP but if I flash it, the touch screen won't work and I'll need to flash the custom kernel, which I don't want to

The kernel seems to be a requirement for the touchscreen once TWRP is actually installed, not sure why but the touchscreen isn't going to work without it, any reason you don't want to install the kernel?

I'm worried that the custom kernel may not be stable. Any issues with it?

I can flash back to stock kernel after using custom kernel but I don't know what I need to do because I rooted my phone via Magisk patched boot.img. Do I have to flash stock boot.img first then flash the patched boot.img or do I flash the patched boot.img?

Id say run the custom kernel boot image through Magisk then flash it

Yes, you can flash it. You need to flash the custom kernel first then flash TWRP. If you don't flash the custom kernel, TWRP touch screen won't work. OP should've stated that

Here's a link for the custom kernel https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/kernel-1-6-2022-sekiyama-1-3-for-moto-g-stylus-5g-osaka.4382375/

There are two ways to flash the custom kernel. Flash skym3.zip through TWRP or flash boot.img through fastboot. Which one did you mean that? If I flash stock kernel, will I lose root?

If you flash the custom kernel boot.img or the stock boot.img it will remove root, the zip flashed through twrp should preserve both root and twrp if I remember correct. I had said that because you had specifically asked about the boot.img, I apologize for any confusion

Ahh! Too late. I just lost root and that's ok. I'm not worried. I'll reflash Magisk but is it safe to flash Magisk.zip instead of the patched boot.img? What I did was flash the custom kernel via fastboot then I flashed TWRP 3.6.2_11-0 by selecting "flash current TWRP" in TWRP. While I'm making a backup, my phone still restarts. Flashing TWRP didn't solve the issue. Is it because I didn't reflash Magisk yet or is it something else?

@Electimon
Could you tell me why I'm having the issue?

Update: Now I know why I'm having the issue. It's a data partition that causes the issue. I made a backup of other partitions except data and it went well. I'm gonna uninstall certain apps then make a backup of data again. I'm back. I uninstalled certain apps and the issue still persisted. I gave up, so I rescued my phone. I rooted it again by flashing Magisk 25.1.zip via TWRP and it went well. Thank you for trying to help me.

so that custom kernel is ok to use on A12 right?

This is a forum for Moto g stylus 5g model XT2131-1, any other device is experimental. You can try it l, I feel like it would work. Just back up your stock rom first, uninstall magisk, and then flash.

any way you can send me custom twrp recovery for denver

 

[Kalel88]

Any ideas on how to flash twrp after booting twrp.img? Would you flash the twrp.img file in twrp or is there a twrp.zip file to use? Also do I have to install to ramdisk?
