- Flash TWRP and format encryption, totally remove encryption for best results if that's already done, proceed to next step..
- ROM
- Magisk
- Gapps
- Wipe caches
- Reboot

Oh, yeah, the MediaTek variant.

I have a spare E4 Plus at hand, just took it out of the drawer. I was thinking of upgrading it to Pie via a custom ROM.

So, if I am not wrong, the following is I will need to do to flash a ROM:
1) Flash TWRP on my SD variant
2) Boot into TWRP. Go to Wipe > Format Data and then enter "yes" to wipe the /data partition
3) Flash Zackptg5's Universal DM-Verity, ForceEncrypt disabler
4) Flash the ROM + GApps + Magisk v20.0 for root
5) Reboot.

Is that correct?

Is there an actual link to the img file? Why am I only seeing a zip file?

Does anyone have a copy of the stock recovery? I'm trying to root an E4 Plus (owens) and TWRP gets stuck at the loading screen. I saw someone say that TWRP will load if flashed, but I generally prefer to just boot TWRP and install Magisk, so I want to revert to the stock recovery after flashing TWRP to root the device.

Total noob question I'm sure, but I don't see a link to the recovery image file. When I click the link for GitHub page there is no .IMG file, it has a bunch of other files. Do I need to compile these files into the .IMG file? If so can someone tell me how to do this in Windows?

TWRP for the Moto E4 Plus (Qualcomm)

Based heavily on squid2's TWRP device tree for the Moto E4 (Qualcomm) - See here for more information.

Seems to work fine, but use at your own risk, std_disclaimer.h, etc.

Use fastboot to test or boot this recovery.

To test:

fastboot boot recovery.img

To flash:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

The source code is linked above; as far as binaries, I could swear I once posted them somewhere but I don't see where. I searched for files on my local disks, and the only results for searching "owens" are for mostly-broken LineageOS builds. Should still build fine I'd expect, though.

I have a model from Sprint, and it's unlockable, just not on the official list -- I successfully unlocked mine.

Rooting is also possible -- use phh's; SuperSU doesn't seem to work: https://superuser.phh.me/superuser-r259.zip
