this seems to suffer from the same thing the stock rom/kernel suffers from, the weird f2fs bug that makes certain mounts fail. geneticengineer has shared a kernel that fixes this in stock rom , maybe you could get in touch with him about how he updated f2fs

Thank you for your work, this seems to work well on my device. If you would like to swap the kernel, I posted a newer firmware NPS26.116-45 here:https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74325160&postcount=33

[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] revengineer:
Well my guess is that the kernel in the present twrp is from the -26 firmware posted in the other thread. That firmware was US Retail also. The OP in the other thread states in can be used on other models. But I am not going to tell you that because I do not know. I have not found any other firmware for the sanders model.
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] CheckYourScreen:
Afaik it doesnt affect TWRP, you just need to be on a custom kernel if you are running stock rom.

Twrp has nothing to do with it.

If you face any problem flashing anything then post a screenshot or log. :)

Stock kernel is same in both the firmwares.

-45 is just for US variant, i dont recommend you to even flash that firmware on other variants.
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Ae3NerdGod:
but i have a custom stock kernel, and things that fail in TWRP work in flashfire or magiskmanager

its mostly magisk modules im having problems with, ill reproduce an error when i get the chance

TWRP backup is frozen at 13% completed. The progress bar is still showing its animation.

I unlocked the bootloader, and then rebooted. Android came up with the language selection screen. I powered off, connected the phone to the PC, and booted into TWRP (not flashed yet):

fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-sanders-r7.img

I did not let TWRP format /data.

Then I started a backup, selecting all partitions, so that I could always go back after flashing TWRP and Magisk.

Does anyone know why backup is stuck at 13%? Last log line says "Backing up System..."

I tapped "Cancel" after two hours. That stopped the progress bar animation, but not the backup itself.

BTW: I used TWRP from this thread, the one in another thread freezes at the TWRP boot logo.

Edit: after two hours I killed the backup by powering down (the only way it seemed). On retry it froze at 21%.

Edit 2: Retried, this time backing up everything except system. No problem. I then tried to backup system. Frozen at 1%. What is the problem here?

Edit 3: Finally, a complete backup of system! Only one to go: system_image. But unfortunately that froze at 0%. Every subsequent try freezes at 1666MB (40%). The card has over 30GB free. I tried backup to USB-OTG, but that also froze.
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] CheckYourScreen:
Might be due to data partition being encrypted, you cant write anything in it without decrypting it first.

Format data and reboot recovery, then make the backup. You can flash magisk after taking the backup.

Btw r9 new release on its way with some really important changes :)
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] gewe:
I was not trying to write the backup to the data partition, but to external SD card (tried OTG-USB as well without success).

I have flashed TWRP, formatted the data partition, and flashed Magisk. I have not tried to create a new backup yet. First I want to find out why Magisk does not pass the Safetynet check.

Can't wait to see what r9 brings. Thanks for your efforts. :good:

[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ____Mdd:
"No command" is stock recovery, for menu of stock recovery keep pressed power key and then vol+.

Reboot again into bootloader and flash TWRP again, ignore errors that says image is not signed, just check if you are getting 'OKAY' at end of command,

then don't boot your device to system, but boot into directly to recovery from bootloader.

important : when you boot into TWRP for first time, flash something (kernel, or magisk, superSU,) anything.. otherwise your device will start to boot into TWRP instead of system..

So, I'm kind of suck. I flashed it and installed manual to avoid the loop, but I then factory reset the phone from android and then I got in the loop. It boots only to twrp.

I've already tried installing roms and a kernel but it still goes into twrp. I even restore the nandroid backup and still. I'm currently downloading the stock twrp install (back to stock) and I'm not sure if that'll work, I would use a firmware dump but I'm a xt1806 and the one available is xt1802.

[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] pizzaboy192:
Something is wrong with the backup of the OEM partition because when it's restored, OTA updates won't take (Shows as mounted R\W which breaks OTA)

Backup and restoring OEM partition using DD in TWRP via ADB works fine though. Can this be fixed or is it fixed in R21?

[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] pizzaboy192:
Yup

Stock recovery, booted Twrp using fastboot since bootloader is unlocked. Restored backup of recovery, boot, OEM, logo, and system. Log for OTA says OEM partition was mounted RW and errors out.

Edit: here's the OTA error log relevent info.
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] QkiZMR:
TWRP backup of OEM partition doesn't help you to install OTA. Like log said, if you mount OEM partition to r/w stock recovery will detect it and break update. That's why people using root flash entire system image to update Android on phone. And this is quicker way to update system.

lockscreen pattern

Ok, So I just bought this phone. Rooted and rom'd it yesterday. (coming from a galaxy note 3 I've had forever) I did a nandroid of every partition after I downloaded the oreo update, then went ahead and rooted. I loaded on resurrection remix, set everything up and did a nandroid. I only backed up the data, system and boot partitions.

my question is, now after flashing a few other roms to try, I reloaded my nandroid, and my lockscreen pattern is wrong. The one during boot works, then when I get to my regular lockscreen, it's wrong. did I mess up by not backing up other partitions like the oem or vendor?

Just tried with twrp 20 and same thing. I can't reload a nandroid without the lockscreen being incorrect

edit agiain: so the only way I've/data/system/locksettings.db

I'm using twrp-sanders-treble-new(ByGeneticEnginer) because I read it backs up the persist while the regular 20 version does not. Should I just go to the regualr 20 version and use that from now on? I'm assuming the system image and vendor image have to do with treble?

I'm going to continue research and reload my phone. Still have my old phone with everything on it so it's no biggie atm, but I'd hate to lose my lockscreen pattern in the future and be out of luck.

edit2: just did it again. backed up everything except for "system image" and "vendor image" and the wiped, loaded another rom, just booted it, and then wiped it and restored nandroid and I can't get in after the second lockscreen when android starts

Ok, so the only solution I've found is to delete the /data/system/locksettings.db in twrp file manager thanks to [MENTION=3561052]internetpilot[/MENTION]
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] marcdw:
Is your sdcard FAT32? Some time ago, on the Axon 7, a few of us had the same problem. TWIRP, historically, would break up the backed up data into "small" chunks (below the filesystem limit of 4GB). I noticed with TWIRP 3.2 it wasn't doing that. So, backing up /data would fail because it was trying to create a single backup file, say 6GB or more. Beyond the FAT32 limit. The recovery.log confirmed that.

I had to install TWIRP 3.1.x to do backups. Downside was that 3.2 uses a different backup path so it wouldn't see the backups for restoring.

Can't say this is the case with you guys but check the recovery.log after a failed backup. My Moto still uses TWRP 3.1.1 so I can't check. The 3.2 on my G3 backs up just fine though.

[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] pizzaboy192:
The PIN issue is an Android thing, not TWRP for this phone. You'll just need to delete the files or flash lockfix (generic zip that deletes the lock files). The phone keeps your fingerprints when you nuke those lock settings, so just re-set up your pattern once you've flashed stock and nuked your old settings. Doesn't matter if it's pin, pattern, etc. Android do s something weird on restore. It does it to me on my LG g5, Nexus 5x and the G5s+
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] rockerdudelive:
Ok. So if I go back to stock and set no password then reload a custom rom will I still have to delete the password settings files or flash this zip every time? Or will it fix it permanently?
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] pizzaboy192:
Yes, that file handles fixing broken pin on a backup restore.
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] rockerdudelive:
I edited my last post once I found it. You replied so fast lol, I appreciate the help.

Is this just something I need to flash every time I restore a rom or is there a way to fix it permanently? Or do I just flash it everytime I need to reload a nandroid and it just deletes all the necessary password files for me so I don't have to do it manually?
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] pizzaboy192:
It's needing to be flashed after any restore. It's some thing that's broken about backups for a very long time. Maybe even technically an Android feature.

When I unlock the bootloader but boot this TWRP build using "fastboot boot twrp.img" i.e. without flashing it to the phone.

And than use it to backup boot and system partitions, to an otg USB Drive, will this result in original unmodified images,

or may the process of just booting TWRP change any of the flash content?

My understanding would be that it should leave everything untouched.

But in an other thread one user suggested that this may not be the case.

So I wanted to ask the maker of the twrp image here?

Its strange, on a new phone after oreo update I have unlocked the bootloader and started twrp via fastboot (without flashing it to the phone) to backup the partitions.

Now I got the update notification and it cant install the OTA update.

I have compared boot, recovery and system from the twrp backup with the files in the original firmware archive and they are identical.

So the question is why it fails, and which partition has the problem?

Apparently TWRP changed something when it was booted, the question is what?
