Has anyone had their phones rebooting into recovery where the command terminal states "rescue party"? I know this is a feature in Android Oreo but I've never actually had this happen on different phones/roms/recovery before. I think I was able to turn it off by editing build.prop but wondering if others have experienced and if any way to supress/turn off directly in TWRP? Thanks
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Justin Timberlake:
thanks very insightful tricks!

but everytime i flashed any magisk module, ini twrp says success but didnt show up on magisk manager module

does it means twrp didnt actually write system?

im using stock rom

but thanks for the effort dev! ?

After I successfully root the Moto G5s plus XT1806 using the twrp-3.1.1-r9, it works normally. Later, I felt that I want to clean up user data (installed user apps), and use the OS's Settings->Backup and Reset->Factory Reset. After that, whenever I tried to boot into system from TWRP or bootloader, the phone will only boot into TWRP, not system anymore. I did try to use TWRP's restore on /boot, /system, data, it will still only boot to TWRP after the restore. The only way I can get the normal way of booting into system is to start from the scratch, fastboot flash recovery twrp-***.img and re-root. I did another experiment, in a newly re-flashed and re-rooted phone, if I want to clean up the user apps by using TWRP's wipe->Format Data instead of the Factory Reset from system, it will have normal way of booting into system later if I choose to do so. I guess that the Factory Reset cleared up the /data, cache, and /dalvik cache partitions, but am not sure why the Factory Reset will makes the phone only boot into TWRP later even if I choose to boot into system.

Thanks.

I have the XT 1805

This is the European Dual Sim version 32GB.

I unlocked the bootloader and got root using this: https://xdaforums.com/mot...-plus-t3673287

I was unsuccessful flashing the TWRP recovery from the link in the OP. Other people in that that thread noted similar issues. I flashed TWRP from this link:

https://xdaforums.com/sho...3&postcount=27

Whenever the phone boots, it boots directly to TWRP.

I also enabled encryption.

TWRP says the encryption password is incorrect.

When I cancel the ready process, I can go into TWRP and boot to bootloader from TWRP.

From the bootloader/fastboot screen I can boot into system.

I don't want to jump through these hoops every time I reboot. How do I fix this?

Also, I cannot factory reset. Factory reset takes me to TWRP. After I do the bootloader dance, I'm back to the system before the factory reset. It's as if factory reset never happened.

I flashed the r9 twrp through the twrp version in this thread https://xdaforums.com/moto-g5s-plus/development/root-moto-g5s-plus-t3673287

After rebooting, it went to the enter password to decrypt device screen, so according to your first post I had assumed that decryption failed and I needed to wipe in twrp and then reboot. So I went to wipe in twrp, the only option appeared to be factory reset, so I did that then then rebooted system. I'm now in a bootloop. It's does the awful 'hello moto' start animations, but then it goes to the the blue motorola screen, that flips over to the lenovo logo and back again. Been going for 15 minutes now.

Any ideas for how to fix?

Rebooting into bootloader and then trying to reboot into recovery appears to suggest that I don't have a recovery installed? It doesn't boot into twrp anyway.

Edit: Unfortunately I was stupid enough to miss the exact instructions what to do if decryption failed. I didn't do any of the mounting partitions stuff before factory reset.

I reflashed the r9 recovery through fastboot and was able to boot into twrp again. It came with the failed decryption password dialogue again, and this time I tried to follow the steps in the first post. Looks like its failing to mount the partitions. Although I'm not totally sure, because I've never tried to do this. When I go into mount, there is check boxes for system, cache, etc. I have tried to check all, or even a couple or just one. Nothing seems to happen. The only buttons to push below the check boxes are 'decrypt data', 'select storage', and 'disable MTP'. 'Decrypt data' takes me to the password screen. Select storage allows me to chose between internal storage, external or USB OTG. Internal storage is showing 0mb, while external shows ~7gb (previously around 100gb).

Really not sure what to do from here. Would something like this help? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7yDPszoQ5s

It does seem to suit my problem. All my partitions are showing 0mb size etc. Should I select F2FS rather than what he's suggesting in the video?

EDIT2: If anyone has the same problem as me, I following the video above more or less, and selecting F2FS as the file system. I was then able to follow the instructions in the first post of this thread for mounting the storages and wiping data when the decryption fails. I could then boot into the stock rom.

Hey fellas!

Updated to TWRP 3.2.1-r15 with following changes:

Added 64bit support so you can flash the upcoming 64bit version of custom roms and kernels.

No need to format data, twrp will be able to mount encrypted partitions now. :highfive:

Loading time of twrp might be increased due to necessary features like QSEE loading in TZ(For encryption support) and higher compression modes, so bear the waiting time of extra couple of seconds.

Happy Flashing! :)

Hi and thanks for your work. I can't seems to mount encrypted partition:

- I flashed TWRP to recovery

- Installed Lineage os rom

- I flashed magisk

- I encrypted my partition from lineage os

- Now if I boot to recovery it asks me for a password to decrypt but fail to mount the partition claiming that the pass is wrong

Or is it that decryption works only with stock rom?

So, I would have to uninstall magisk, reflash stock recovery, and then I could flash an ota update?

At which point if I wanted to then root again, I have to reflash this recovery, and then reflash magisk? Rinse and repeat for all ota updates I want to install?
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] QkiZMR:
When you recover stock boot partition and recovery you should be able to make update. But if you modify something else, its better to reflash whole firmware. Moto is very sensitive for modifications. Even mounting system partition with read-write permissions disallow system updates.

After successfully completed system update you will need to reflash Magisk and other stuff that you use.

So I have a pretty weird problem, but it probably has to do with my inability rather than this recovery. After flashing this TWRP and rebooting to system, the phone boots to TWRP. When I go to the ROM (I've tried 3, including stock) and press reboot, it goes to the recovery. When the phone runs out of battery and I plug it in it boots to recovery. When I power down the phone completely and hold the power button, it boots to recovery.

The only way I can boot into the ROM is by going to the bootloader menu and pressing "start".

Any potential flashing steps I might have screwed up on and how might I fix it?
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] QkiZMR:

Device default boot in TWRP

Hi everyone,

Something strange is happening since I downloaded an android OTA update; every once I boot my G5S Plus it goes into TWRP.

From there I need to select reboot -> bootloader to start the ROM.

No matter which ROM I have installed..I think something got messed up within the boot partition.

Did someone experience something similar?

Thanks in advance

Its beacuse of the size bro, your memory card is formatted with Fat32 format(That doesn't doesn't support transfer of files larger then 4GB)

And the system image if of larger size then 4

Even if u want to backup that too

then u have to fomrat memory card as exfat (don't format it as NTFS bcs TWRP won't identify NTFS formatted memory card)

Its a "Ported" one, not compiled for sander natively and isnt able to decrypt data somehow.

You probably tried making a backup while running encrypted data or maybe on a fat32 formatted sdcard which doesnt allow files above 4gb, better use exfat.

NTFS is supported :)

Magisk issue, #blameMagisk.

Use SuperSU+SuHide, or switch back to Magisk 14.0.

Good day. My phone got IMEI = 0 when reverting to stock ROM coming from a custom ROM flash. I have no cellular network, but bluetooth/ WIFI/ GPS/ Hotspot are working. I'm stupid because I wasn't able to create a backup of the EFS partition. I found out that my serial number is still intact in "mfastboot getvar IMEI" command, and in the "Barcode" in bootloader menu. Is there anyway to you know, "mount" it in TWRP or something?
