Moto G5 boots to TWRP

I have the same issue. But the suggestions posted wouldn't help me. I have the stock ROM and I'm rooted with Magisk using TWRP recovery. I want to keep the stock ROM and don't want to go through the trouble of backing my data again. So, I was wondering if there was any work around. Would flashing the stock ROM, Boot and recovery without deleting user data partition help??

Back up your stuff. By cloud or other means. Then reset and load your back up on boot or boot setup
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Noel Carson:
Backing up Gigs of data is a huge pain. Even if I have to copy to my pc. So, just something that's less cumbersome.

Anyone get the stock for 16gb/2gb version?
[LG Optimus L90] patcci:
Hello there. :crying:

I know there's some threads about bricked LG L90, but I have more difficult problem.

I wanted to flash recovery by Flashify. Device turned off and showed me some blue screen, one thing I remember from it was an e-mail. I was like, fk it. I pressed power button for like quite while. That was a very bad idea, cause now it doesn't want to turn on. No recovery, no download mode. Classical bricked phone.

Except that one thing, when I plug on the phone, Windows shows me that I have a device with many partitions on it. The phone is like pendrive I suppose. I wanted to align all of them but I'm scared as hell.

Is it dead?

Thanks for every response and sorry for my English, I hope you understand, xoxo.

[LG Optimus L90] 0000.0000.00:
What does the charging icon look like? Could you send a picture because twrp has a charging icon different from stock so you can see if twrp installed somewhat.

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

I could also try to extract stock recovery and show you how to flash it? Also, what version of stock was the phone on? Was it on the latest version?
[LG Optimus L90] patcci:
It's definitely a stock charging icon. I would love to send picture, but that shows only when I don't need it, so I can't.

That would be great, very great. There wasn't any newest version, KitKat, yes? I wonder if I could just get partition image and simply get it on device.

Absolutely nothing new. After realasing button Windows shows me those partitions again.

Do you remember what flashify showed? I think you should try deleting a few big partitions and taking out the battery and putting it back. And then trying the hard reset.
[LG Optimus L90] patcci:
I think that wasn't from flashify. It was blue screen and something "do this, this and this and send it to e-mail". I think my phone will be completely dead after this but I'll try anyway :D But how I'm supposed to make a hard reset?

Root is there. Just as buggy as Magisk with this dual partition phone. Can't remove system apps with Titanium Backup. Can't set some things as r/w with root browser. Besides flashing the boot.img, is there anything else that needs to be done as some parts of system are r/o still or do we need twrp for full system access with this device?

Edit: as explained later in thread, this isn't an issue with CFAR, it's an issue with apps not working correctly with our boot partitions and directories.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I have full system access. I have deleted both bootanimation zips to get the stock Android boot animation going. I have deleted some of the T-Mobile bloat. This was done with root explorer. All rooted apps work as they did with any other phone. I even flashed BusyBox with flashfire. But I think BusyBox is a little buggy on here. Not 100% sure lol.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
I wish mine was that easy. You use Sprint model?. Below are attached images. Flashed stock removed Magisk then flashed CF.

One is TB showing root access. One is the error can't find APK. Then SU screen shot showing root. And the last one is the error when trying to move (not copy, but cut/paste) a system app to SD.

Edit: Chainfire, it seems the method for T-mob either isn't working the same for sprint or with dual boot.imgs there is some odd issue after updating. If you need logs, let me know how to help
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] :

Please see below.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
I would think Chainfire did the same edits to T-Mob img as Sprint. (using their corresponding boot images) did yours flash boot_a or Boot_b? Mine flashed Boot_b

It is different. Judging by the Magisk thread, you guys have a boot image for Sprint and one for TMobile.

---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 AM ----------

Yes. It is boot_b. I know it's weird and we are all gonna have to get used to it lol. Hopefully roms are easy.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
Yes, We have different boot images and I downloaded the one specifically made for sprint by Chainfire per the linked website.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I'm stumped then.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
I found it out. Titanium Backup cannot find app due to it being in oem and not /sys. Removed Chrome and it worked and is a system app. All apps in system/app can be removed besides the one app I tried:Translate. Bug on my phone? Maybe... Attached images of the issue. One showing oem/app being Amazon, audible, etc. Second showing only translate not having correct perms in root browser. Odd.....
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] filthyfnj24:
I have the same issue.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
When all else fails, use lucky patcher. Just be sure the stock image will flash for you. It won't back up apps, but it removed all my bloat I wanted to remove...

Edit: tried removing Translate. The one System/app that has wrong permissions. Lucky Patcher was about to remove it, hard reboot and it's still there with the wrong permissions. I guess translate is a must on stock?
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] raver445:
hey for all those that have root i use a program called root uninstaller pro..i do not have any of the permissions issues that you guys have with titanium backup i was able to very easily completely de bloat the phone..
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Chainfire:
This is not an issue with SuperSU (or Magisk). This is an issue with Titanium Backup (and many other tools) not being fully able to cope with the partition setup on newer devices yet.

I don't understand what you mean, please elaborate.

The T-Mobile and Sprint images do the same thing. CFAR/SuperSU uses a different method than Magisk. The Magisk images are pre-rooted, while the CFAR images patch the boot image present on your device when you boot it. In other words, if both the T-Mobile and Sprint root images are able to boot on your device, what they do is identical, and you'd end up with an identical root.

In case of any issues, try 'fastboot flash'ing back the stock boot image, before 'fastboot boot'ing the CFAR.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
I figured it out. The apps I was testing root with were exactly what you describe. TB and an odd permission error with translate. Root works. My later posts go into detail. It's just the oddities with possibly two boot partitions or just an idiosyncrasy on our phone why translate has different permissions than all other files.

Thanks for getting CFAR working on our phone.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
Can you remove Translate? for some reason on my Sprint model it doesn't have correct permissions to remove it on any root app.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] raver445:
I have the T-Mobile variant but but I do remember being able to remove all bloatware applications except for one of the Google applications and it wasn't translate that wasn't able to be removed it was Google Sheets. But yes translate should be able to be removed
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
Yes. If you see my last post on page 1 you will see translate has different permissions than other system/ apps causing it to not be removed by any root app on my Sprint model. I wonder if it's sprint only, Z2 Force only or something just with my phone with the dual boot partition causing oddities.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] raver445:
I'm figuring it's probably just Sprint Sprint version causing the problems can you send me some screenshots please
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73858447&postcount=10 Post 10 has the screenshot of what the issue is. Check rw permissions in root browser. All system/app folders have drwxr-xr-x while only the translate folder has drw-------- meaning there is something causing translate to not be able to be written over/deleted. I tried with console commands and root browser to modify permissions of the file but access denied error. When I tried to remove with another app, Lucky Patcher, it was about to remove then the phone rebooted and the system/app was still there.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] donosaur:
Were you able to get rid of the T-Mobile splash that shows up before the boot animation plays?
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
I was able to remove sheets on my Sprint model. I think your Sheets is my Translate, lol. Gotta love buggy phone permissions. This is most likely an issue with the dual partitions.

couple of quick questions before i do this

i have to unlock the bootloader per this thread? https://xdaforums.com/z2-force/how-to/how-to-unlock-bootloader-t-mobile-t3654657

then i download the cfar zip (with the defaults on the webpage from the OP to generate the zip), extract it and from a command prompt in that folder, run root.bat?

is the boot.img file any different in the zip than the one that can be downloaded by itself on the same page?

is there a stock boot.img?

i am on tmo august update NCX26.5
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
The downloadable img is the stock image. The zip has the modified one
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] DsturbD:
cool thanks. so i guess the answer to my other questions would be a yes? am i understanding the process correctly?
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
Yes, to flash anything that isn't a signed img from Motorola (usually official stock images can sometimes be flashed while locked) needs an unlocked bootloader. You would unlock the bootloader following the directions on Motorola's website then run the .bat file
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] DsturbD:
Worked perfectly. Adaway works. TB removed most apps except Lookout and NameID but they're frozen so all good. It's all I wanted. Can't wait to see what's to come with this phone!!
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] psycho4us4:
I see no flashing instructions, could someone be so kind to post it please. Thanks in advance.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Just download the appropriate file for your phone and put it in fastboot mode and run the bat file. That's it.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] psycho4us4:
Thanks so much, I assume this will root and install supersu?
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] HighOnLinux:
Even though i dont even have this phone, that is correct. After the flashing method, you will have superSU intended to install as a system app and you'll have root also. Just as long as you unlock the bootloader first, if its possible. Just for safety measures.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] razrlover:

Using my Fedora Linux system (not Winblows), I am assuming after unlocking the bootloader, do I need to do a fastboot erase system -a or fastboot erase boot? Then proceed to reboot to bootloader, and type fastboot boot ____.img or is it fastboot flash boot ___.img?
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
no erase for CFAR, just do the command "fastboot boot ___.img" you want to boot. It has a script to root the current boot.img
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] superuser1981:
Okay so I flashed this successfully via fastboot and since have rebooted. So my question now is where or how is there SuperSU on here? And Magisk Manager just caused a soft brick altogether so luckily re-flashing this boot image got me back to my ROM. But I'm just confused as to how or where exactly do I go to flash SuperSU, or Magisk or whatever? Through the factory recovery? Also is TWRP not an option using this boot image?
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:

[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] darthxa:
Just one more question....

if i root, will i continue receive a OTA security patch?
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] joemossjr:
You will but it will fail to install
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] DsturbD:
speaking of OTA, just got the Oct one on T-Mo 26.7

but i thought it would only fail if you have TWRP installed, if you dont, you might just lose root. when i first got this phone (a mere 7 weeks ago) i thought i already use cf-auto root and then took the august update, but i cant remember. but i do know there was no twrp on this device yet
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] csmasn:
I'm on November Sec Patch. So I assume that I have to use the same procedure of the other guy. I meant "boot" not "flash".

Which is the difference between both?

TIA.

(Completely lost coming from Samsung devices)
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
Flashing flashed the boot image to your phone, booting just temp boots it. Chainfire puts a script in the ramdisk to root the boot partition so it's best to just boot it and not flash it.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] csmasn:
Like a temp root? If yes will it show the bootloader unlocked warning? And I will be able to add a adblocker?

TIA.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
No, CFAR has a script to permanently root the unmodified boot image
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] csmasn:
Thanks again. Yes, I know I'm becoming anoying. "No" to the bootloader unlocked or to the Adblocker?

I just need to Install an Adblocker, no any other kind of mods. TIA.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
Fastboot booting the CFAR image will let you add an ad blocker. The message will still show
