[Unofficial] [05.10.2017]TWRP 3.1.1-0 Moto G5 [cedric]

RETAIL it's XT1677 model, and it's from March. It'll will work on XT1671?

I think it will work. Also the latest security patch you will get on stock ROM is March.

Guys I got a little problem. I used this recovery and AICP for my Moto G5. If I tell my Phone to reboot...no matter if from off, Recorvery or System it reboots to recovery...not system. I can only boot System from fastboot mode.....
Kinda strange....
could you give me a hint how to fix this?

I have found a fix for this, after experiencing the same problem with my new Cedric. My fix is derived from this post, but modified to match our devices.

If you always reboot into recovery, and the only way to boot normally is using the bootloader, follow these instructions:

1) Boot into TWRP recovery.
2) Plug your Cedric into your computer (which needs to have drivers and fastboot installed).
3) Open a command prompt window and type:

adb pull /dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/misc misc.img

This will make a backup of the misc partition just in case.
4) Type the following:

adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/misc

This will clear the misc partition. You might get a message regarding lack of space, but it's okay.
5) Your Cedric will boot normally again.

MOTO G5 Plus TWRP Removal

I wanted to use TWRP to move an edited build.prop file to the sys directory. I want completely stock rom with the exception of the build prop edit. The problem is, once I install TWRP, and then flash stock recovery, I get into a boot loop. How can I remove TWRP and revert back to stock?

You are getting a bootloop either because

1 - the edits you have made to the build.prop are wrong or causing a conflict stopping phone from booting
2 - you have not set the correct permissions for the build.prop which should be 644 or 755 doesn't matter which - you can do this in twrp


to flash stock recovery is exactly the same process as if flashing twrp except you tell fastboot to flash your stock recovery img

fastboot flash recovery myrecovery.img

myrecovery.img is the name of your recovery file - be that twrp or stock recovery - what ever the name of the recovery image file is

So, from a stock rom, I'm able to boot. After installing twrp (Without swiping to allow system changes) I can flash stock recovery and the system will boot. However, Once i swipe (Allow Changes to system) in TWRP, exit and re-flash stock recovery....the phone boot loops again.

This time, I did not make any changes....Just swiped to allow changes in TWRP.

Please advise.

This is because stock checks dm-verity
You need to flash a disable dm-verity check zip as per instructions - search xda for one

Please read instructions

IMPORTANT NOTE :

At first boot twrp will ask for "Swipe to allow modifications for /system" and if you choose to allow it system partition will get modified. So if you choose to reboot back to OS without performing anything in twrp, the OS won't boot (as verity check is enabled in stock OS/kernel) . To avoid this you have to flash either SuperSU or flash any of the verity disabler zips there in xda

If the system partition being is being altered by swiping (To allow modifications).... how to get back to normal?

Read, but confused...

I wanted to perform some tasks that required root....but have root and twrp completely removed. Are you saying that once I install twrp, the only way to remove it is to keep su?

I find myself in a catch 22 here

No you just need to disable dm-verity - the supersu zip does this by default
Once dm-verity has been disabled stock rom will boot with a modified system partition
You can unroot & put stock recovery back if you want to but note your system will still be modified & you will not be able to perform ota updates

I tried downloading...it was not there. so I did a google search for the same file name. When I go to flash, it says "Unknown Partition" Either I have the wrong file or I'm doing something wrong. Does this get flashed before I flash TWRP...After? I'm sure it's written somewhere...just no finding it.

Flash in twrp
Install
Select zip
Swipe to right
- you can only flash custom zips in twrp
You need to enable system modifications

I was talking about no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1
I have SU... and yes, It allows me to boot. But, I'm trying to remove su and twrp to go back (Not worried about software updates)
In order to go back to stock (While maintaining my edit on Build.prop), I need to flashno-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1... but when and how?

Is that a zip for the pixel running oreo? That's not going to work

Just do the root uninstall cleanup in the supersu app
Flash stock recovery

Im not using stock so I can't give anymore support

That's brilliant! But what do I do here?

It's a recovery image

Either flash the recovery image via fastboot
Or if you are already rooted you can also flash it using the twrp app - select Cedric as your device
