[Unofficial] TWRP 3.1.1-0 Moto G5S Plus [sanders]

TWRP 3.1.1-0 Moto G5S plus (sanders)​

Latest TWRP changelog :

3.1.1-0 full changelog


Bugs :

Didn't found any for now, if you find something, you can report to me.

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

• Force encryption is enabled by default in stock OS and twrp will successfully decrypt /data at first boot if all goes well

• If in case decryption doesn't go fine, twrp will popup a dialog box asking for password and that means decryption went wrong and you would need to wipe data once via twrp wipe options and reboot back to twrp for functioning of /data

Installation Guide :

• Make sure you have unlocked bootloader | Follow these instructions for unlocking it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/how-to-unlock-bootloader-moto-g5-plus-t3573879

• Reboot to bootloader

• fastboot flash recovery twrp-****.img (if you want permanent flash) or fastboot boot twrp-****.img (if you want temporary
• boot)

• For rooting, you can use Magisk or SuperSU, both work fine

Ps :

I'm waiting for official kernel sources release for this device (sanders), before compiling custom roms, kernels etc... (I've tried with moto G5 plus sources but camera/flash didnt worked :/ )

Hope you like it!

I flashed SuperSU for root.. but SuperSU is not working fine.. it shows "Root undetected" after sometime. I want to use Magisk now. But it shows error "boot image already patched by other program". Tell me any solution.

Did you make a backup of boot partition?

 

[shu006]

Did you make a backup of boot partition?

Yes but after flashing SuperSU ????

Can u send backup of boot partition?

 

[shu006]

Or from where I can download official firmware?

After unrooting its better to restore stock boot img before flashing magisk

 

[Premkrishna]

Out of curiosity...

Which is better, MAGISK OR SUPERSU.?

Is one thing superior or inferior to the other in any way..? I have been with Supersu all these years, will magisk be complicated for me to flash?

 

[Premkrishna]

Hurrayyyy rooted!!!

I rooted my device at the first try.! Actually, i flashed SU 2.82, but did not work properly. Then i flashed 2.79 and everything is working pretty fine.

Now i can change fonts.....icons.....themes....layers....etc etc.

Thank you so much developers...

Guys, i installed SU 2.79 and it was working fine for like 5 minutes and then it started telling me that the phone is not rooted or Root un-deducted.

Need help!

Can anyone give me the stock boot image for G5S Plus? I am trying to install Magisk and it is telling me that someother custom app had patched my boot image. So, i have to get back to stock boot image and do the magisk flash.
I initially installed SU and that might have caused this error. HELPPPPP!!!!

Where can I find a stock boot image, cuz I am on the same boat as him too...

BRICKED!!!
Probably the first person to successfully brick the MOTO G5S.
I bet you guys wanna know how i did that. I messed up my phone after rooting with SU 2.79. I installed substratum and other customization apps which apparently did not support the stock ROM.
So, i decided to wipe the data and ended up wiping the ROM itself. I am able to get into TWRP.

My only way out is to wait untill @GeneticEnginer , comes up with a ROM to flash. Untill time to say goodbyeee! Seriously guys, i am sad.

No worries just take twrp backup of anyone who has properly booting device and just restore that backup it will help bring your device back to life or wait till stock rom or developers to build a rom

Actually i am learning development i learnt how to sync source codes and build a rom but sadly dont have enough internet speed to download that rom source code else i would have built a rom for our device. I will wait till i get enough money to get high speed internet then i will build something for sure
