[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL][XT1650][griffin] TWRP 3.0.3-n2 for Moto Z

[Shreps]

Here is TWRP 3 for the Moto Z
I decided to open this thread and make unofficial builds because the official TWRP (3.0.2) is still based on MM and will not work properly with N Firmwares and ROMs.

It should work when you flash it, but using it is still a try at your own risk procedure.

Our device comes with forced encryption and, more important,
verity which checks at every boot if /system partition has been changed or not.
If /system has been changed, verity won't allow booting your device which means
you can't flash anything unless you disable verity.

So, you must be sure to keep /system in ReadOnly mode in TWRP and don't try to alter it unless you're using a custom Kernel/boot to disable verity.
Of course, custom ROMs come with custom boot, so no worries about verity security with Lineage or AOKP for example.

To temporarily boot this recovery:

fastboot boot twrp.img

To permanently flash it:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

The download is up on moto.shreps.fr.

Use superuser systemless root, has mentionned in post #2. It's safer.

I hate phhsuperuser too, but what is this recovery.img that you linked ?

in your images you show up SuperUser 2.78 R2, it works ? What happend with the release 2.59. I tried before and my phone don;t boot any more when I install SuperUser

My Link is TWRP recovery image
Here I installed SuperSU as systemless mode, which is always fails installation on official TWRP

In pictures I really only installed es explorer as root needed app and I didn't mess with SuperSU anymore not sure about other's

BTW I recommend to stay on phh's superuser

So using this recovery and forcing to flash in systemless mode boots into ROM? Because last time I tried system mode ended up in bootloop and systemless mode dint gain any root access

Again, it's safer to flash supersuser by phh, everything works out of the box
See post #2

Currently I'm using phh without any issue but FlashFire doesn't work with this, it requires SuperSU

First at all I really don't recommend this root method, cause I didn't test it too much
But your answers:
There's no force just flash released superSU from chainfire this will flash in systemless

Before this recovery, old official one could not install SuperSU as systemless and it was stops on decompressing ramdisk, I just fixed installation part which is only related to TWRP bug

And force system (xbin) root still makes bootloop , as I know it's not about TWRP

Then according to you which method of Rooting is the Best or safe instead...or which TWRP & supersu file should be flash , if i am on Nougat updated through OTA

I recommend to follow OP guide, it's safe

But if you like SuperSU use my TWRP and flash latest SuperSU

I tried that in Stock rom but ended up in bootloop..

Pls provide the link of TWRP & Super SU you recommend (i am stock Nougat)

 

[erfanoabdi]

Pls provide the link of TWRP & Super SU you recommend (i am stock Nougat)

OK use my TWRP and flash this super su
This is not modded version just old version of stock superSU

Please test it and tell how is it.

Is this only for N bootloader?

I am still on MM bootloader and got freezing screen on TWRP home. Could not touch/select the menu, had to flash back to official TWRP 3.0.2.

Hum yes, but should work too with MM bootloader. You can try to press power to shutdown the screen and then power or volume again to wake up and the touch should be initialized.

Ok, thats fix it. I can now touch the screen. Guess I have to do it on every boot?

Thanks for the tip.

OK I formatted my partitions in twrp and it was formatted as ext4. I read somewhere that the moto Z uses f2fs by default. Is this true and I just reduced performance of my phone because of a bug in twrp? I couldn't find an option to format as f2fs.
