The procedure in this this post works well for me.

Otherwise, I have mount the system.raw.img in a linux machine in /mnt and add busybox and its links in /mnt/xbin.

Because system.img is an Android sparse image, first you have to convert it to a normal raw image before mounting it : simg2img system.img system.raw.img

After modifications, unmount it un re-convert it to an Android sparse image : img2simg system.raw.img system.img before flashing it.

Hi dreambo,

too bad, I'm a Windows user... ^^

I tried to install busybox with the TWRP method, descriped in this post, multiple times and always it doesn't work for me. I got just a bootloop.

Busybox is my last required thing, to install anything I need... :(

So, if you re-create a complete rom with busybox support based on V09, you will made my day. :)

I have a complete TWRP backup of my running V09, so I can upload all images that you need.

Best regards and a nice weekend

Dan
[Maze Alpha ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dreambo:
You can give me only your system.img : under the terminal shell of TWRP, you can do : dd if=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000/msdc0/by-name/system of=/sdcard/system.raw.img bs=4M

After that you can copy system.raw.img from you SDCARD phone to your PC and upload it to google drive.
[Maze Alpha ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dand751801:
Hi dreambo,

I tried to execute your command few times. dd couldn't access to this file. I found no mistakes in my command string, so I copied this file to my sd card and retried the execution of dd - with success:

886+0 records in

886+0 records out

I hope the result is equvalent to the original located file. You can download the raw img here.

A lot of thanks in advance.

Best regards

I upload the complete ROM v09 for Maze Alpha 4/64 in google drive, in to format : TWRP and SPFlashTool.

You can unzip the TWRP one and take only the system.img and flash it in bootloader mode : fastboot flash system system.img

I have test it that way in my phone, Maze_Alpha 4/64 (not Maze_Alpha_A 4/64) and it works well.

See the first post for download

The first boot take some minutes, so be patient.
[Maze Alpha ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] hogjor:
Works perfect, but in my phone it says "Alpha_A 4/64" , I don´t know what the "A" means, I will thank you for your good work:good:

Thanks for the v9 file, thank you.

I flashed successfully v09 with spft. It is strange that update.zip always gives an error...

Anyway thanks for the v09 firmware.
[Maze Alpha ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dreambo:
Perhaps because there are several versions of Maze Alpha :

Maze_Alpha : first original one 4/64

Maze_Alpha_A : new version 4/64 (the v09 update.zip is for this version)

Maze_Alpha_B : 6/128 version

i'm having boot on recovery (twrp) costantly. Also i cant use the pc (idk how but it cant see my phone, after i tried to install sp drivers) . so, how to unbrick with twrp terminal?? :/
[Maze Alpha ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Luan.666:
Please help

I accidentally deleted the android from my cell phone. I can not flash through SPflashtools because it gives error.

I installed this backup that you suggested and it worked.

but he's got email and google account. Please, can anyone help me.

Can the e-mail owner inform me the email and password just so I can access and then remove the device or can someone send a backup without a linked google account?
[Maze Alpha ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] PrimateaEu:
I'm having the same problem!

device protection was active when the twrp backup was taken. Just a backup with device protection disabled or without linked google account...
[Maze Alpha ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Luan.666:
Help

Please, can anyone help us?

Can you send us a backup of the maze alpha without encryption and no google account?

Because you can not install the rom by sp flash tools.
[Maze Alpha ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Luan.666:
I've used your v9 backup and it's locked in google account.

Could PLEASE send another backup without google account?

I really need. because I deleted the android of the device and not able to use sp flash tools.

Please help me. only for the backup that I can install.

I'm desperate.
[Maze Alpha ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dreambo:
The backup does not contains any account.

Just do a wipe under TWRP.
[Maze Alpha ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Luan.666:
Strange, I just used that backup.

I did the wipe on the twrp and it asks google account of the owner.

I put my email and it will not accept. :crying:
[Maze Alpha ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] tabnabs:
It appears that the Maze Alpha without "A" now has an update to V09 dated 16 March. I can't get it as I am on the V09_A.

There does not appear to be any explanation for the two versions of the phone, the firmware or both in the non A version and the A version.
[Maze Alpha ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] stapler85:
i tried to root it myself since i cannot flash the rom and it didnt work, basically i unlocked bootloader, loaded twrp, installed magisk.zip v16 latest, then once i boot into android i install magisk manager, and while magisk manager shows everything is working green, when i try to do root actions, such as delete some system apps, it doesnt work? am i missing anything or doing anything wrong?

---------- Post added at 03:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 AM ----------

also how do i identify which version of maze alpha 4gb i have?
[Maze Alpha ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dand751801:
Hello,

Magisk is a systemless root modification. It means, the system partition is still untouched and in the most cases still mounted readonly. On the other side you can freeze unneeded apps. I know, it's not the same ...

You'll have the same troubles when you have to change the build.prop, the hosts file or some other core settings. Magisk brings an option to use a own hosts file, but these solution is not working in all cases.

To identify your device version, just go into the settings and open "about the phone". The build number will give you an answer. In my case I have the build number MAZE_Alpha_A_V09_20180117, so I use a MAZA Alpha A.

Best regards

Dan
[Maze Alpha ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] stapler85:
Thank you i was wondering what i did wrong

looks like i am also on version A, but then again i have already flashed the system.img provided by OP so i dont know if my initial version is A, it should be as the flash worked and my phone works fine. Is the root only for version B or A?

so back to topic, in order to root and remote system files, because magisk is systemless, does this mean it is not really rooted, how can i remove system apps then if this root cannot?
[Maze Alpha ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] NeronLux:
Hi any chance of getting a SP flash version for Alpha A as I got a bad flash? Thanks.
[Maze Alpha ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] NeronLux:
Thanks this method unbricked my Maze Alpha A but still trying to work out what I am doing wrong to get working recovery as keep getting decrypt password prompt. Thanks Neron
[Maze Alpha ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] NeronLux:
Worked it out if you enable boot pin it encrypts the phone that breaks TWRP. Don't be like Neron don't enable boot pin!
[Maze Alpha ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] NeronLux:
OK so timing of installing magisk is key to ensure forced encryption is disabled otherwise twrp stops working due to encryption. Testing further now.
[Maze Alpha ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] NeronLux:
Ok all back online but Magisk modules will not install get /data/adb/magisk_merge.img mount failed
[Maze Alpha ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Paola:):
Very very very thank you

Hi my phone was out I did try to root it but I was only able to insert twrp Only flashboot and twrp working and after more than one week I was able to solve every thing with your Rom. U are my hero :).

Can I update my phone now? There is something regarding the bootloader unlocked everytime I start up the phone. It is not a problem this I just want to know if is it possible to update my phone now.

Yes you can flash it and use it as any TWRP recovery without fastboot, only by entering recovery mode.

Just another question: are Theresa differences in twrp "a" and non "a" version?

Or a is 4gb and b is 6gb?

Have nice day

Hi, I was able to install xposed installer 3.1.5 with xposed framework 89.3 using xposed and no magisk.

But...... I had to downgrade to v08 a (I made firmware upgrade with spft to v07a and then an upgrade to v08 a with original recovery), then magisk by recovery in fastboot, after that flashed recovery twrp.

[Maze Alpha ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] limeswift:
I‘ve had this problem too. What i did, is that I somejoe got a fastboot connection and reinstalled TWRP. The rom flash didn‘t work on TWRP, so I used SPFlashTool to flash the rom. At first it didn‘t work (sth like BROM_SEND_DA_FAIL) , but then I noticed that you need to check if the device is in the right state, there pops this Message up, telling you that a new device has been connected. If that pops up and the devices name is something with Mediatek or VCOM, your device is in the right state and you can start the procedure. After flashing the rom, everything should work as fine (first boot takes a bit long, don‘t worry). Hope this helped:)?

---------- Post added at 10:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

But there‘s a problem that I am having now, the device is in FRP mode after starting up, when logging in with Google, sth pops up and tells me to login with the owners account. Now I don‘t know what to do, can anybody help me??
[Maze Alpha ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] perama:
I finally manage to fix the phone with the following procedure: First I somehow got a fastboot connection and reinstalled TWRP, as you mentioned, too.

Then I used the backup ROM for the first post, I copied it to a flash drive and I connected the flash drive to the phone via USB OTG. Then I restored this ROM from TWRP and the phone is working again! :)

You can try it, too!
[Maze Alpha ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ciayko:
You saved my life, dude))

I tried so many times to install rom thru TWRP but nothing, when I was rebooting TWRP ALWAYS said to me that NO Rom was installed and I got stuck till I read your post. So I just restored from sd card and the Alpha is living again! Thank you! ;)

I searched all those essential forums but did not find a solution. I tried to back up some pictures I have taken to the PC. The phone is recognized and I can find the folder on the phone where the pictures are stored. But in there, there are only a few pitcures and even folders are missing. If I check on the phone in the gallery app, everything's there as I expect it. How can that happen :confused:

I have connected the phone to all 3 USB ports of my win10 notebook and tried 2 different usb cabels. Allways the same...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] hs911:
maybe these pictures are synced with google and are shown from the cloud.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] enrunn:
they are definitely on the phone. When I check with a file explorer on the phone, the folders are full of pictures.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] avd:
Try syncthing
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] enrunn:
will try, when I'm back home from work
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] dpackerz:
Check for a nomedia file.

If your phone sees a .nomedia file in a folder, it won’t load the folder’s contents when it scans your directory.

file explorers can see them

You may have to go to the respective Folders where images / videos are stored and Go to settings > Show hidden file to see the .nomedia file
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] enrunn:
thanks, but I don't think this the problem. I see all pictures whether I check with fotos app or f-stop gallery. If there was a .nomedia file, I couldn't see the pictures there, right?

Only on the pc I don't see the pictures on the connected phone.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] gk1984:
I get the same problem only its not just pictures. Entire folders just don't show up. There's no nomedia files either. I get it to work occasionally by changing USB ports but that doesn't always work.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] enrunn:
Yesterday I got all pictures backuped onto my pc. But it's kind of weird, I still don't get it, why :confused:

I have now 2 working methods but the "normal" way, with a running phone an copy paste with windows explorer from my pc still doesn't work.

method 1: basically the same as my "normal" way, but having the phone in recovery mode. Then all pictures and folders are present...

method 2: using syncthing. Great app, thanks for the tip! This one's working great even though the phone is running. Took some time to setup everything, but now it does its job :svetius:

[Moto E4 (Qualcomm) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] madbat99:
For my virgin Mobile version I just used the sprint firmware. I thought the same was true for boost. It provisions when you boot up. It has vendor info for sprint, virgin, boost, etc. Did you remove all the others to make it boost only?

Just asking because I want to update my wife's virgin model. From 26.69-48 to 26.69-56. it's great you're making twrp flashable zips. Makes it much easier. She hasn't downloaded the ota yet (limited data) but when she does I'll definitely post a link. I used firmware from here for mine. The ones at the bottom of the page without 7.1.1 in the filename.
[Moto E4 (Qualcomm) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] GetOffMyLawn&!+¢#{$:
I didn't remove anything. The Boost rom is only the system, and the partition updater I just removed all the modem, oem and system patches and checks, and added the updated oem and modem imgs. I'll do Sprint shortly, if you want to wait a bit.

I could only download the Boost OTA over WiFi. It wouldn't let otherwise. It specifically said it was large and available over WiFi only.
[Moto E4 (Qualcomm) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] madbat99:
Cool. I didn't know one of the them (official firmware) specifically said boost. Good work dude.
[Moto E4 (Qualcomm) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] GetOffMyLawn&!+¢#{$:
They actually don't. I've just came to the conclusion that the ones with 7.1.1 in the title are Boost and without 7.1.1 are Sprint. Boost has only had one update sine the release. There's 3 of the firmwares without 7.1.1.
[Moto E4 (Qualcomm) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] nekomancey:
Just to confirm, these are fully stock with no modifications, ie all the bloat from the original metro os is still included?
[Moto E4 (Qualcomm) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] GetOffMyLawn&!+¢#{$:
Yes. I will do debloated versions, but I'm not sure what can be removed from that model without causing problems. These ROMs are pretty finicky about what you remove. Some apps removable on previous Moto devices cause problems now. Some seem ok to remove at first, but when you wipe data or flash a rom that's too debloated, you get force closes. I'll need someone to confirm what can be removed since I only know what can be safely removed from the Boost variant.

Edit: if you know what is removable from the OEM on the metro variant, I'll make a debloated flashable of that also. I didn't think that one had much in there anyway. Not nearly as much as Boost Sprint.
