I think there are some major issues with 2.8.6.0 - I can't restore at all on it, getting around 50% through and then I get a reboot (I think when it gets to the System partition restore but not 100% sure on that!) - it also has the screen ripple issue; going back to 2.8.5.0 both problems aren't present (this is on XT1032 non-GPE - LP5.0.2). Not sure if anyone else has the same issues?

It seems it occurred after I transferring data using mtp so I think something got deleted causing a decrease in content in data partition from 1500mb to 700mb

In recovery file manager after selecting a file or folder there are these two options

Chmod

Chmod755(or something like that)

What are these???
[Moto G Android Development] aouerfelli:
Permission command. chmod 755 is rwxr-xr-x I believe.
[Moto G Android Development] h2o64:
Yes. Those are to change perms on files ^^

Hi there.

I just rooted my Lollipop (OTA upgrade).

Now I'd like to encrypt my phone. Does TWRP works with encrypted phones or not? Kitkat with TWRP and mounting / unmounting encrypted partitions didn't work.

If TWRPworks well with encrypted phones. Should I encrypt before installing custom recovery or after installing custom recovery?

Total Noob Question Plz help :P :D

I have a rooted xt1033 with stock rom ( 5.0.2) and latest TWRP ( 2.8.6.0 ) i guess!! , i went into recovery & backed up my PDS partition.

it doesnt show up in the TWRP folder, actually i cant even open the TWRP folder using esexplorer & Xplore file managers ??

in the recovery file manager i can actually access the folder & it has 2 pds files & 1 log file but those files are invisible when using file managers from android system even tried copying files to a different folder still doesnt work...

and before using TWRP i have also tried using these codes below but even that didnt yield a result...

# adb shell

root@falcon_umts:/ # su

root@falcon_umts:/ # dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/pds of=/sdcard/pds.img

i read it somewhere it is an issue with lollipop.. but actually i have no guess... can someone pls help me...

thank you [MENTION=4792450]h2o64[/MENTION] , i installed the latest update and i tried the backup again but the result is the same

this time i copied the "pds.emmc.win" file only ( using twrp file manager ) still cant access the file (in android os or windows) copy it or upload it to cloud .

google drive on android shows failed to schedule 1 file upload and on pc file explorer wont copy file

it is as if the file is locked is there a way out of this ?? plz help thanks again..

Hi!

Yesterday I flashed the latest TWRP on my standard Moto G (XT1032, 16 GB, unlocked bootloader, Brazilian 5.0.2 stock ROM), but when I try to start the recovery, the phone shuts off.

The only thing that I modified is the logo, I flashed a custom one to avoid the "Warning: unlocked bootloader" screen when I start the phone.

Does anyone here have the same problem?

Thanks!

---------- Post added at 10:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 AM ----------

Well, I am very stupid :D

I was starting the recovery using the power button :D instead of the volume up button!!!

But, the thing gets worse: even after flashing TWRP... it's still booting to the old standard recovery! It's like I didn't flash anything.

BTW, when I flashed TWRP I've got a "partition mismatch" error.
[Moto G Android Development] moha07:
Mismatch error is common dude , just flash twrp and flash superuser.zip , it will fix ur problem

Guys please help me

i had installed the stock lollipop using fastboot commands which erased my custom recovery. now i want to install custom recovery on my moto g xt1033 dual sim indian version.

i have tried it lot of times but m getting following error. can anyone please explain why m getting this error. i have installed all necessary drivers in my pc.

please guys :crying::crying::crying::crying:
[Moto G Android Development] sjandroiddeveloper:
First check if fastboot is working properly by command fastboot devices

Then check the you have put the recovery file in the correct adb fastboot folder

Also check the recovery image is proper or corrupt

Do this and report back

Hello,

I'm on falcon XT1032, CM12.1 ROM with TWRP v2.8.6.0 RECOVERY and as much as I like to be on CM time to time also like

to test/try new custom Roms and for this reason always backup my old one.

Thing is when I want to go back to my old backup after doing:

-Wipe System

-Wipe Data

-Wipe Cache and Dalvic

It always shows restore gone successfully but when I reboot it just stays on CM logo for ages.

It only boots if I do a Factory Reset after the restore process which kinda loses the meaning of what restore is about :(

Any ideas to help ....
[Moto G Android Development] sjandroiddeveloper:
Happened with me two times

First whenever you want to restore a backup there is no need to wipe anything, recovery does it itself

Second, from what I can get from your explanation is that the backup of data partition is creating the problem

Try backing up everything again

Restore and report back

An error comes that system is mounted as read only ( weird because flashing a zip is successful)

2- I cannot delete a file or folder in system partition using the native twrp file manager, an error occurs

I'm having a problem using the ADB sideload feature, so far in both 2.8.6.0 and 2.8.6.0.1, in that it never seems to start. I swipe to enable it, and the last line that appears on the terminal is "Starting ADB sideload feature...". My computer then only recognizes it as "Android", and it doesn't show up in ADB devices. I'm unable to load any drivers for it during this time. I'm able to use sideload on CWM though, so I'm not sure what the issue is. It's happened on both 41.13 and 41.19 bootloaders. Any ideas?
[Moto G Android Development] h2o64:
I do allow
[Moto G Android Development] h2o64:
So the problem is about the system partition?

Use the format tool to correct any issues related to the file system itself.

I'll see what I can do otherwise
[Moto G Android Development] sjandroiddeveloper:
Formating a partition deletes all its content ( this is obvious)

Try it and then try to flash the zip

And it won't create a problem with your backup

There is no direct option to format system partition ( for data its there )

Did you mean change file system to EXT4 which will automatically format the partition

And even if you mean that I don't think its going to work because the old 2.8.6 build is working normally , the problems start after I flash the newer one

And did you also face the the problems I told you in post above?

[Moto G Android Development] remo0073:
I don't know if you have solved

For me with XT1032 it was OK to make 2 or 3 consecutive flashes of TWRP and than enter recovery from bootloader without reboot the system.

Same indication is present in TWRP official site

"Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use*Google*to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install."

Mismatched partition size is a common error.

It says that TWRP recovery image is smaller than stock recovery image so don't worry about that.
