No problem if I have the July patch?
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] wihzard:
Yes I took this after I got the july patch. On a side note, I have another E5 Plus XT1924-8 where I totally forgot to get that OTA and proceeded to unlock the bootloader and root and whatnot. Is there any way to undo that because now the OTA fails on that phone, even with original boot and recovery flashed. Otherwise it's setup identical to my main phone.
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] requiiiem:
the problem is when I try again to put Magisk, it stays in bootloop, I want to think that it is because there is a module that is activated.
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] wihzard:
You might try clearing your cache or clearing the app data. It does sound like a module causing the issue, I had similar problems and just had to see which one was the issue and start from scratch each time.
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] requiiiem:
I've formatted, and restored, it still persists when I try to put magisk.

No you need bootloader unlocked to do the root process.

I have 2 of them, unlocked the bootloaders back in August. If you haven't gotten a code back try doing the process again as maybe you entered it wrong or maybe even the email they sent got spam blocked. Worst case scenario would be Motorola stopped unlocking these Boost (Sprint) phones which would suck.

[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Aeorsyn:
previously when i was trying to return to stock on hannah, i ran into probs specifically with gpt.bin, but then in a last ditch effort i just started flashing things out of order, and not flashing some stuff, what resulted in a booting stock moto e5 plus, (not really stock stock, but the patched image with magisks on it for root, but stock android)

"i flashed only a few things, and didn't do anything in order lol, first i flashed system image with magisks, then i flashed sparsechunks 0-4, then bootloader, then oem and vendor, literally all i did then fastboot reboot"

also this took me like a day or two to figure out, at the time i honestly thought i'd never get stock back on it.

hello there you guys....

i just bought a new phone today from metro pcs.

specs.......

moto e5 plus

build # OCP27.91-150

android ver- 8.0.0

the bootloader is unlocked says BAD KEY when booting

i have booted (twrp_james.img) an (TWRP_hannah-040818.img) without no issues via bootloader

my issue is that when i try to back up my stock boot.img it wont let me because it says (0mb) storage for internal and (0) on my 32gig sdcard

i did not mount the system

it seems twrp isnt reconizing my storage for me to back up my stock files

i am afraid to go any further because i do not want to brink device.

i want to see if i flash the Moto e5 plus XT1924-7 (MetroPCS) boot.img but i do not want to take a chance of bricking my device without backing up stock files.

is there any idea why this is happening?
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Googleme35:
I have it installed no problem idk why it doesn't see your storage which you only need for it AS sd card I'm using hannah_twrp version 3.2.1 and it works fine just do not brick your phone always do a back up first I went through alot just to get it back to work so read carefully and just follow the method on how todo it and if your not really sure then re-read it again I know but rather be safe then sorry otherwise I didn't use fastb. or tried to disable anything yet until twrp Hannah boots up from device because it's only fastboot so when you do a back up use your SD card right click on back up .click select storage SD card right swipe right wait until back up is done then happy flashing if you want good luck if you have any more questions or need help email back.

---------- Post added at 05:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 AM ----------
