[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] Droid4200:
Rsd is for way old, I did run stock XML reflash with a .bat when I g7 first came out and instructions weren't easy for me to follow. Did you run a XML with a .bat that did all the commands one after another for you? for you just by typing (file).bat? And it put stock ROM into slot A and B? I have never flashed a XML ROM besides stock , maybe you should run stock XML .bat and do a fresh start(once you get the hang of g7 you won't need to use a computer for pretty much anything anymore. And as for errors I have seen using the aftermarket Roms recovery to install .zip only error I have seen with flashing anything is "unsigned install anyway?" Or something to that effect, and one linage os not an error though after data format,installed linageOS.zip first boot had a message coming up saying something about corrupt system or something and it needed to do a factory refresh, and even with that after it was done it booted perfect, installed twrp and majisk ,

where you got the error 21 in the ROM recovery try this (i think ) you can acctualy change the order(I may be wrong) .. Starting from twrp format delete data wipe system ect, install ROM.zip, reboot into custom ROM recovery and install TWRP.zip instead of majisk reboot into twrp and install majisk, did you read the linage install instructions and twrp?

Download twrp-installer-3.4.0-1-river.zip (thats what im using) and IMG,

step 1 use image for temp twrp, adb reboot bootloader(from windows) fastboot devices(if your device was turned on with vol down + power)

Step 2 Temporarily flash a recovery on your device by typing:

fastboot flash boot <recovery_filename>.img

Alternatively, on some devices and recoveries you can use fastboot to boot directly into the freshly flashed or any other desired recovery:

fastboot boot <recovery_filename>.img

Go into twrp, install lineageos-river.zip, reboot, you'll lose twrp, but like I said you can add twrp .zip and magisk.zip ... Unless its stock reflash they should only be .IMG and .zip and computer for ADB / Fastboot is only needed to get Temp TWRP and in case of a big screw up XML stock firmware. Even with Roms deleting twrp its still reinstalled using the custom rom recovery to reinstall twrp and anything else. If you can write your exact steps down . like your current os,/how you installed twrp(version)/data wipes, ROM.zip install how you booted and installed more zips. Maybe tomorrow I'll start my phone from stock XML and see exactly what I did, but it shoukdnt be this difficult considering I flashed 2 Roms with root in like 20 minutes walking around my kitchen without a computer. With nothing but twrp.zip, two diffent ROM.zips, gapp.zip, magisk.zip I can't figure out how tour having so much difficulty, sorry I couldn't help better. But it'd late I need sleep and I'll try and look it up tomorrow.

from that point on use twrp and magisk to install twrp, I'm running lineageOS newest update. Magiski 24.00
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] sd_shadow:
Be very careful with .bat (s) they are not part of the official firmware, and often have typos or just plain wrong commands.

If you want to use a .bat use Root junky's .xml converter ir create your own .bat

RSD Lite is old but still works for most devices if you have a Windows 7 pc.
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] Droid4200:
Yes that's what I did, created my own .bat. After a few times of messing up when g7 first came out I needed to do a few factory flashes because there were pretty bad instructions at the time , i made a .bat , and adding the command to install twrp at the end of the bat had me reinstalling stock and booting into twrp on one click.

[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] visaro11:
Droid4200 your helping me out!!

I haven't realized I should try fastboot boot twrp.img, THEN install twrp.zip file from the twrp i fastboot booted into. I dont mean to confuse though, im at a point after many stressful unsuccessful hours im getting lost! Im still working this method but so far im coming up with bootloops everytime after I install twrp...forcing me to reflash the rom.

I do notice the message though saying that "I am unrooted!" but like i said after i reboot after installing twrp, i get a bootloop i can only get out of by reflashing the rom. And i tried the three latest zips from the official twrp site.

Jogging my memory...another thing is I know you suggested lineageOS however im sort of fixated on getting root on stock rom at this point cause i know its possible.

---------- Post added at 02:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 AM ----------

And another question...do i need to go through the welcome screen stuff after a fresh ROM flash before trying to install twrp, or booting into twrp and installing magisk? or does that not matter?

---------- Post added at 03:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 AM ----------

and now I am doing exactly what I was doing before to install TWRP to recovery so I can wipe storage and decrypt properly however I cant get into it now. it boot loops. I am doing the same things each time i go at this project and i get different results...its really ridiculous which is probably why my way of explaining things is so confusing!!!

from scratch I was booting into bootloader. Fastboot boot TWRP.img. ok get in. install recovery ramdisk, go to my sdcard and select the 3.3.1.0 twrp that i am only able to get to work, let it install, reboot into bootloader, power down button to recovery, press power button and walah im in twrp. This worked for me yesterday but today its not im getting a boot loop. Restarted the whole process and selected the fix recovery bootloop in twrp and it will bootloop. worked yesterday but today doesn't?
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] Droid4200:
Oh your only flashing stock ROM? To be honest I got a free g6 with my g7, the g6 basicly has no support since its a cheap 32bit but I know that stock ROM is possible, I don't think I did a stock flash magisk on my g7, but I do rmeber now talking about the bat I made it was because something kept getting messed up because g7 was way different than any other device I trwp/ROM .. I had a first version of twrp that would actually freeze twrp and I had to leave phone along for like an hour, there was another program to fix it I think it was edl or something.. I think you mentioned wiping earlier, your not wipping any data are you? And you installed majisk from twrp, then twrp from magisk after it boots and you have root? Try this , flash stock using the XML, fastboot temp root, dont erase / format anythinng , and do not earse any cache/davik after any installs from twrp after you install a zip, you also mentioned you installed verity and twrp with majisk with your first attempts. don't do any of that yet, just do one step at a time like just adding twrp, to see where the problem is, if you made it this far with no boot loop go back into twrp to reinstall majisk. Otherwise I would do linage or Havoc, lineage is bare bones, like a nice clean stock, resurrected ROM is my favorite with loaded options but they stopped supporting river I think. Any reason your sticking with stock? Its loaded with stuff no one really needs, and when you uninstall everything(or as much as you can) your basicly just atempting to make a clean OS like linage already is, even cleaner if you don't want gapps. And if your worried about not passing a safenet test I wouldn't, both mine fail and it hasn't stopped me from anything. And the welcome screen question at the end of your question yes and no, other night I clearly remember entering twrp, wiping system , rebooting back into twrp, installing lineage/havoc in the trap power menu "power off" power back on by vol-+power, installing magisk from custom ROM recovery, then clicking reboot, the. Yes welsome screen, and after that on your home screen you have a magisk app to open.

All right I decided lets try installing lineageOS.

I got the latest version from the lineage site.

If I try to install the zip on TWRP recovery, doesn't work. I get an error almost immediately after looking for digest file, sorry I dont remember the exact error.

So I try the adb sideload method and I am getting this

step 1/2

Error applying update :18 (ErrorCode:: kdownloadPayloadPubKeyVerificationError)

Updater process ended with ERROR: 1

E:recv error on uevent

and I cant seem to find a solution online for this? i couldn't be the only one with it?

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Sohan_Saymum:
Just unlocked the bootloader , latest MIUI global beta. Here are the questions which needs valid answers

1. Need to flash TWRP and root. Which twrp image will not need any encryption disabler flashed every time I flash a rom? please give the link of the most stable and recent version of it.

2. I will flash magisk. How will it behave with OTA on miui global beta?

3. Will I receive OTA update? If I do, how to flash it properly? I dont want to roll back to stock recovery just to flash an ota and then again flash twrp. And I dont want to flash full rom either.

4. If I am able to flash OTA through twrp, do I have to wipe anything? Im asking if I will loose any data or not.

5. As far as I know, I need to unroot everytime before I flash OTA? what does that mean actually? If im rooted, will I not be notified of the OTA update through the updater app? Or do I have to manually downlaod the ota from the web?

6. And one more thing. I dont want the clock on the top left in any screen, lock or home. Which mod will remove the clock and add regular notification icon? (working with miui beta ofcourse)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] TNSMANI:
I can answer your questions partially.

2 & 3. Flashing TWRP and Magisk will result in OTA zip not being downloaded. Instead, the full ROM will be downloaded automatically.

4. AFAIK, you can't flash the OTA zip through TWRP.

5. If you want the OTA, you will have to be completely stock, no modifications to system files. Only then the OTA zip will download and only then you can flash it. You will ofcourse be notified of the availability of the OTA zip even if you are rooted but it will not download because it does a check of your system before downloading. Only the full zip will download if you are rooted.

It is much easier (atleast for me) to accept the full download and flash it through TWRP and then boot back to TWRP (to preserve it and to avoid overwriting by stock recovery) before booting into system. If you only wipe Dalvik and cache, there is no need to reflash TWRP and Magisk. Ofcourse if TWRP gets overwritten somehow, then flashing it and Magisk again is not a big thing.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Sohan_Saymum:
Thanx a bunch. Now I am ready to flash, but not sure which recovery should I use? and what about that force encryption disabler.zip thing? which recovery wont need that thing? its just too complex to flash various things everytime I update miui rom
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Darklouis:
OrangeFox Recovery has a feature to disable force encryption without flashing the DFE.zip everytime you flash a custom rom.

And it supports MIUI OTA Updates.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] locolyric:
can i said like this.

unlock bl and install magisk will not lose any feature of MIUI.

how about custom rom? what feature i need to abandon from stock rom?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Darklouis:
You will not lose any feature

Some custom roms are AOSP based so all MIUI bloatware or features are not available in AOSP based custom roms.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] locolyric:
from my last experience unlock bootloader will wipe all f my data. is that same on poco f1?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Darklouis:
Ohh yeah.. Unlocking Bootloader will wipe all data (internal partition and data partition) except on the sdcard partition

Rooting G7 Play should be similar with G7.

I successfully rooted two G7 using Magisk patching boot.img method. However, it's recommended to download full ROM just in case.

I posted root method for G7 in general discussion.

Currently recovery is not available because stock recovery is missing. It's possible recovery is fused into boot.img.

Make sure you unlock bootloader before proceeding

I would be interested in this phone ( I have had several Moto phones already), but only if it is A-only partition.

In what ways is this a significant improvement over the G6 Play?

I adore the battery life of that phone, and this has chopped 25% off the battery size without improving the screen.

The 632 CPU is a significant step up from the 427.

But not much more reason to upgrade from the G6. Much like there was little reason to ulgrade from G5 to G6.
