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

[msymmes]

That is what he followed but something went wrong and system got broken.
Some have issues entering TWRP N1 version. N2 version fixes splash screen issues.

Excellent, thanks for this. Root is working now. Had some glitches, but got them sorted. I'm a happy puppy .

It's a addon activated in developers settings to get root SuperSu not needed.
There is also a other kernel available if you use battery mods or something.
All links and info that is nice to know exists earlier in Lineage thread

Hi, i've rooted using this metod, worked well, then, i have tried to delete app system with titanium backup 'n es file explrer. With titanium worked but when i reboot the devices, all aplications deleted return again and es file just say: read only file system. How can i fix?
Rom stock 6.0.1 - RETBR 24.246-45

Not a recovery related issue but still... What apps? What ROM? For example I wanted to get rid of certain stuff from the Open GAPPS package. Looked uninstalled but wasn't really. After flashing a smaller Open GAPPS package TB could uninstall it. Because after installing that smaller pack the app was no longer persistent.

Stuck at TWRP

Hi,i have Motoz XT1650-03.I have unlocked the bootloder and installed this twrp 3.0.3.And flashed superuser-r259.zip.Then it did not boot anymore.Always boots to TWRP.I installed 3.0.2 same again.Need your help pls.

 

[msymmes]

Not sure this question belongs here but I have tried to contribute as much of my own experience with rooting the Moto Z as possible. And the experience has been very good. Without the help here I might own a brick.

But... I just took a load from Bell Canada today and now the device just boots directly to TWRP. When TWRP loads, it takes about 10 to 20 seconds for the touch screen to come alive but then I can't find an opiton that will recover my phone.

So I now own a brick.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

I think you did read carefully the warning on FP.
I will make it in bold red XD

If you don't disable verity with a custom boot, then you must NOT mount /system in RW and must not try to edit /system otherwise it won't boot.

So you have 3 options here:
- flash a custom boot to disable verity
- flash an unmodified firmware system with fastboot
- flash a custom ROM.

Thank you very much for the help. I am using n1.

My preference uis to flash an unmodified firmware system with fastboot. But I don't no where to find the firmware and do the flash. I do now how to use the adb.

I assume that would be the kernel? We have a Turbo Z kernel thread here. That kernel should boot with modified system partition even on stock firmware

I have now loaded n2 version. But not sure what steps to follow next. N2 does seem to fix the delay on the screen responsiveness but I am still stuck in TWRP and don't know how to load a stock ROM.
I have dowloaded https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto%20Z/Stock/XT1650-03/XT1650-03_GRIFFIN_BELL_7.0_NPL25.86-30_cid50_subsidy-BELLCA_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
but not sure what to do next. Is there a tutorial or list of fastboot /adb commands out there somewhere?

Thanks to all in advance.

You may find your stock firmware here: http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=created&order=DESC&show=25
or here: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/griffin/official/

And basically, the fastboot commands are always the same. You can take this guide for reference: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/how-to/guide-how-to-restore-stock-firmware-t3562717
Only the "fastboot flash system " commands are necessary for system restoration, otherwise use all the commands to full reset your device.

Be sure to use the appropriate firmware for your variant.

And no need to relock the bootloader, in fact I would suggest to keep it unlocked to be able to use TWRP if needed.

I followed all the fast flash commands as per the link you referred me to. I am up and running. Just have to figure how to fully restore from my Titanium Backup that I do once per week. Thanks so much!!

Boots to BOOTLOADER and then I have to press START to boot to SYSTEM

I am back up and running now. Using Turbo stock kernel and am rooted with the chainfire supersu 2.79 but my Moto Z always goes to the bootloader screen and then I have to press the power key to do a "START".

Must be something simple that I am doing wrong but I have spent so much time getting this phone up that I don't want to make a fatal mistake.

Any thoughts? Thanks to all in advance.

Official 3.1.0 released. Boots up fine. Using the phone unencrypted so I can't promise success on that point if yours is encrypted. Hopefully someone else can verify that

What's your variant?
This shouldn't be a problem, Gapps don't uses those partitions.
Anyway, n1 version don't have those partitions
