Where are the guides to root/custom roms for the Moto G Turbo edition?

[sarxion]

I've seen people asking about them, but nobody is giving a link to the right answer. I tried finding the G Turbo as a device on XDA but I'm not getting anything. Is the G Turbo not being supported by XDA right now?

me too

Ask that in the primary support thread for xda forum rather than here for an answer.

Moto G Turbo Edition

So Basically there are two ROMS for Moto G Turbo Edition Based on Android 7.1.2, they are Lineage OS and Resurrection Remix OS.LineageOS is still releasing there nightly build while Resurrection Remix is officialy approved. I have used both these ROMS and i have observed many things .Lineage is Minimalistic in terms of Customisation and battery backup is not that good. While using Lineage OS i have observed that the phone tends turn off and it cant be turned on normally using the power button ,it had to be turned on by using volume up key and the powerkey (going into recovery mod and intiating a reboot from there).Now in caase of resurrection remix OS the battery life is better comparing to Lineage and is more STable than Lineage (perfomance wise also its better).

Now how to Install it??
First : You Should Unlock Your bootloader
For that u need a PC with adb drivers(Link has been provided)

Vendor image does not match system

I have a Moto G turbo (Merlin) and i installed Havoc OS in it. Everything works fine except the Camera and the proximity sensor. Whenever I open camera it crashes. I have installed many camera apps and tried it. In the sock rom it used to work fine. Also when I get a call I get a call my screen turns blank and I am not able to attend it.

I think there is some problem with the vendor image cause whenever I switch off my phone and turn it on again it gives an error "
The vendor image does not match system. Please flash the MPDS24.107-56-1-28 vendor image for you device"

Please tell me a way to fix this. I searched for the vendor image in my stock rom but i just found a .xml file that has a similar name. I don't know how to flash an xml file. It would be gr8 if anyone could please provide me with the vendor image for my phone and tell me how to flash it so that I could get this error fixd and take photos again!!
