[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidstelephone:
After unlocking the bootloader & installing TWRP as described in the main thread, when you go to reboot, the recovery points out that you're not rooted and asks if you'd like it done. Neat & simple.

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squid2:
No, it's not yet official. I need to fix encryption support. I haven't had time to look into it. Once encryption support is fixed, then I'll look at having it made official. It'll probably be a few weeks before I get around to fixing crypto. So if anyone wants to fix it themselves, feel free to do so and submit a pull request, and I'll gladly integrate it and give credit.

Which one is better

Was wondering whether the cyanogen recovery or TWRP would be better??? I dont plan on using any advanced stuff just the basics to flash CM and blackups
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SdtBarbarossa:
twrp is MUCH better then the cyanogenrecovery....

in your case you only want to do the normal flash... BUT if you get stuck twrp can help you out... with a inbuild filemanager and mtp/adb support ... cm cant

Are you running as root? Otherwise you miss sudo in your command. Probably won't be it as you already run cm12.1 you would be familiar with this.

I just formatted my sd card as internal on soak test v3. I booted into twrp trying to make a backup and now twrp isn't seeing my sd card.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tel864:
That's because the card is now encrypted. You can change the card back in Marshmallow or what I did that is easier. I have another old class 4 card that I use. I unmount the SD card, put in the card with my rom, twrp, or whatever then use adb to reboot to the bootloader. I then use fastboot to temporarily boot into TWRP where I make my backup, remove the backup SD card, put in the encrypted card and reboot to system.

Flashing TWRP Advantages

What are the advantages of flashing TWRP as compared to booting TWRP? I assume the functionality is the same either way. My understanding is if you want to maintain a stock ROM, you need a stock bootloader to apply any system updates, either OTA or side loading. I can see if you wanted stick with CyanogenMod and not return to stock, flashing TWRP may be convenient. But if you can flash CyanogenMod by booting to TWRP, I still question the need to flash TWRP. Any insight on flashing vice booting TWRP is appreciated.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCDreamOn:
I'd recommend booting any image first just to check it works before attempting to flash. There's no reason not to flash anyway, this is a recovery, not a bootloader. By "stock bootloader" I think OTAs should still work fine, as the only difference will be that the bootloader is unlocked.

If you don't flash you'll have to use a computer to get into recovery every single time. When using anything non stock like a custom rom or kernel, or even just root, I'd recommend having TWRP there so you have functionality such as nandroid backup there all the time. You never know when something may go wrong even if you don't plan to change something.

Besides if your main worry is system updates, its not difficult to flash stock recovery and lock the bootloader (if that's needed, sorry you'll need to confirm that) just for that update.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrTooPhone:
Thanks for responding to my questions.

So to confirm my understanding what you explained:

1) TWRP has equal functionality regardless if you boot or flash. Anything I can do with a flashed TWRP I can do by using a PC and booting TWRP?

2) You recommend flashing TWRP if rooting stock ROM or using any custom ROM

3) You recommend booting TWRP if I simply want a nandroid backup of my stock ROM

Did I follow correctly?
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCDreamOn:
Sorry I wasn't very clear:

1) Yes but I doubt it will save your settings (themes, date, etc.) Unless you flash.

2) Well I don't think anyone usually would consider not flashing twrp, because ideally you want to be able to mess with your phone away from a computer. Its called recovery for a reason.

3) No I recommend booting it to check the img works, then flashing it once you've confirmed it boots. My point about nandroids is that you could be out and about, then for some reason your phone bootloops or something but you need to use it. So you want to be able to quickly boot into recovery and boot a backup you know works. Otherwise you've got to wait until you're at a computer.

Basically there's no reason not to flash. I'd just do it then if you find OTAs aren't working for you (which we don't know yet as M isn't rolled out yet) then just flash a firmware image which will take you to stock ROM, recovery , everything, then update. Otherwise once you wait until OTAs are captured you still have the option of manually flashing the M firmware then doing the rooting process again.

Sorry I ramble a bit but tl;Dr: flash twrp.

Would you mind to tell me how to do that? To flash stock recovery? I would like to apply the ota to marshmallow.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCDreamOn:
hmm I'm writing a guide at the moment because after some research/ messing about I've realised it's not as simple as reverting to stock recovery. Hang on in there and I'll get back to you.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedaale:
I've seen this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3289163

But I really don't know if it is that simple...
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCDreamOn:
No, it's not...

After some searching and trying to install the OTA, I've found out you can't just restore stock recovery (sorry for misleading you before, I wasn't aware of the changed Lollipop had brought to the OTA system).

Basically, if you want to apply an OTA in Android now, the system must be totally untouched. That doesn't just mean you can root then unroot and return to normal, it has to literally be in the same, read-only, completely untampered state as it came in from factory. A mod on another forum gave a great explanation of this here (scroll down to post #3).

On other devices it seems it is sufficient to, rather than completely reseting the device, simply erase the system partition (fastboot erase system) then flash only the system.img from the factory firmware package (fastboot flash system system.img). At this point the OTA checker sees system is completely factory and untouched so you can go ahead with the OTA.

Our Moto G 2015 however has system.img in seperate sparsechunks and after reading through lost101's thread we can conclude it is not possible to simply revert system and apply an OTA:

Explanation 1

Explanation 2

...So with Moto G 2015, it's factory data reset or nothing in terms of flashing any stock firmware images.

What this means for you? If you want to apply the 6.0 OTA, you must factory data reset, return to stock as per [MENTION=1006674]lost101[/MENTION] 's guide (same link as above) and then apply the OTA. Backup apps and sms etc. beforehand and you should be able to keep all your data, it'll just be a lengthy process. You may be able to factory data reset then manually flash the stock images from your 6.0 OTA firmware although I'm not sure this will work.... ask [MENTION=1006674]lost101[/MENTION] about that one.

Hope this clears everything up. I'll link this answer + [MENTION=1006674]lost101[/MENTION] 's explanations in my FAQ thread if you guys find it helpful.

Thanks a lot. I'm inclined to wait and see if someone creates a flashable zip for twrp. Do you think it's a wise choice?
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCDreamOn:
May be a good idea if you're a fan of the Moto apps like I am. [MENTION=1006674]lost101[/MENTION] (sorry for all the mentions :o ) has a rooted stock ROM collection but only for xt1540 so far. If you ask he might tell you how to create a flashable zip out of the firmware image (I don't know how).
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
FYI - Bootloader status is irrelevant. Locked or unlocked, OTA Update will flash. However both /system and recovery need to be stock and unmodified. You are already playing a lottery by flashing an OTA Update - the process often causes issues - even for people with a Locked Bootloader / completely unmodified /system.

I recommend not applying OTA Updates and only flashing Factory Firmware Images whenever possible.

Geez, I should have paid the extra money and upgraded my Nexus 4 to the latest Nexus. These Motorola's are a pain in the "you know what" with regards to OTA's after rooting and adding a custom recovery. I also am starting to realize what everyone talks about when they say they prefer "Pure Android". Not a fan of the extra garbage that Motorola adds, even though it is not as much as other manufacturers. Live and learn.

Ok. The firmware is finally available! I'm going to flash the mm firmware.

Or is it better to flash twrp permanently and do a nandroid backup? What would you guys advise me to do? Thanks in advance
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrTooPhone:
Most of the recommendations I received were to flash TWRP. I did attempt to flash TWRP, but I must of did something wrong as I ended up with stock recovery. I never tried re-flashing and have continued with a rooted device and stock recovery. No issues to date. It is easy enough for me just to boot to TWRP when needed.

Which root method did you use with temporary recovery?
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrTooPhone:
Use the command "fastboot boot twrp-osprey-xxx.img" vice "fastboot flash twrp-osprey-xxx.img" to load TWRP. Then flash SuperSU 2.62-3. Look here or here for detailed instructions. I don't think it is critical which version of TWRP you use, but make sure you use SuperSU 2.62-3. Any other could result in soft brick.

Hello follow you both here on NEEDROM What about 4pda ( dove unfortunately I can not sign up ) .

I tried the beta3 and I must say that it is already a great job . COMPLIMENTS!

However now I am trying your first stable version .

I ask you a few things to add :

- Governors most famous for the kernel ;

- Fix the problem of the microphone in calls ( I feel bad ) ;

- Update the recovery that is still a long time ;

- Fix the problem with the videos you see on facebook shelled, with green stripes , are blacks or other things .

Thanks for all your small or large contribution .

If you allow can I create a thread on " Androidiani " to support you and to test your ROM .

All credit goes to you of course .

If you want you can create that same thread , we are many in Italy to use Zopo 998 Lollipop and expect from time .
