Hello all!

I've recently submitted a GPL source request for the Moto Z4 (foles). Specifically for build PPF29.105-25-13. I'd like to gauge interest in releasing a port of TWRP for the Z4.

Update(10.08.19) - Kernel source has been released. I've started development of twrp for this device.

Thank You,

GirlsGoneAndroid

[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] :
Update!

Hello all!

I just wanted to give you an update. I've received word that the source code for the RETAIL version of the Moto Z4. Specifically version PPF29.105-25-13 will be released next week!
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] DrakeJones:
That is wonderful news! I have my Bootloader Unlocked and ready to go! I am hoping this will eventually find its way to Linage OS

Thank You Very Much For Your Efforts GirlsGoneAndroid :good:
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] :
Thank you!

It looks like PPF29.105-25-13-2 got pushed out. Does anyone know what exactly the update contains? I haven't had a chance to check the changelog.

I've also reached out and requested PPF29.105-25-13-2 as well now that that's been pushed out.
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] DrakeJones:
Yes I just updated, the release notes just say it updated the security patches through August 1st. Thats the only update it appears.

[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] :
I've got a minimal twrp built. I have not had time to test it yet. Please do not flash it or install it yet! Only temporarily boot it to test it. I make no guarantees of safety. I'm not responsible for bricked devices...etc. If you'd like to help you can temporarily boot to it using these instructions.

Download twrp img

[URL Removed Test build did not work. removing for now.]

Boot your moto z4 to the bootloader (adb reboot bootloader)

Boot to the twrp image temporarily (fastboot boot foles.img)

If you are able to boot to the image please pull the recovery log! (adb pull /tmp/recovery.log)

Paste the recovery log to a pastebin website and post the link.

I'll continue to work on this throughout the week. Please only follow these steps if you're comfortable with adb/fastboot and can recover your phone to an operable state if something goes wrong.
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] DrakeJones:
So I gave this a try today and I get the following:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot boot foles.img

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 0.342s]

booting...

OKAY [ 10.238s]

finished. total time: 10.583s

Does not boot into TWRP and boots normally instead. Tried this many times with the same result. I have my bootloader unlocked and USB Debug enabled.
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] :
Thank you for testing that out. I'll take a look at it over the weekend. I've gotten bogged down in school work.
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] ilia3367:
TWRP can be created, but how do I install it?

vbmeta creates big obstacles for this...
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] burnsky05:
It's not that TWRP gets installed, you can boot to the recovery and then flash the zip file.
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] ilia3367:
That's the thing, TWRP doesn't boot.
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] KOAO:
Damn it, looks like I am going to have to see my Z4 then to get the unlocked one. I really want twrp and root but no one puts any interest in the Verizon variants anymore. Id pay for something like sunshine or whatever.
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] ilia3367:
Who needs this Verizon? It cannot unlock the bootloader.
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] KOAO:
Yes, and I would help but a bounty to see if anyone would be able to break into the bootloader. Me and Many others on Verizon would like something like this. It's not easy but probably doable if monetary incentives are involved
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] ilia3367:
No. Unless you can bribe the Verizon developers.

The same story with AT&T.
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] ethangarsia517:
I'll be watching this like a hawk. Been disappointed that there hasn't been any TWRP or anything for the Moto Z⁴, and I have never owned an Android device without rooting it until I owned this one, and I'm glad to finally see some action!
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] Spaceminer:
I'm going to help you folks get twrp working. The Moto One Zoom guys asked for my help, and in the process of researching their device, I discovered that the Z4 uses the same chipset. So if I get it running for them, I should be able to get it running for you too. If someone can give me the stock vbmeta, and the boot image, I'll start work immediately. If someone can also pull, /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom and send me that, it'll speed up the process. Your device code name would be helpful as well.
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] Sarpii:
Yh am in:svetius:
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] DrakeJones:
I will try to get you this over the weekend.

How do I get the vbmeta?

Thank you very much for your help Spaceminer.
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] Spaceminer:
It's in the stock firmware. Actually don't worry about that. I'm downloading your firmware now. All I really need is the fstab.qcom file.
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] bubblesd306:
It won't let me attach or send the fstab.qcom

Nevermind I got it
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] bubblesd306:
Here you go, it's from retail version with Verizon firmware installed.
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] bubblesd306:
I'll test also
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] Spaceminer:
Don't try installing this permanently, or modifying any files with it. We just want to know if it boots. If it does then check if the touchscreen works, and we'll go from there. I might need to modify a vbmeta for you. Yours looks like it contains dm-verity. This is using the latest kernel from RETUS FOLES.

fastboot boot z-twrp.img
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] bubblesd306:
Just want to ensure which location to install to as the stock firmware doesnt have a recovery.img
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] Spaceminer:
The same place as the boot image. Recovery lives inside the boot.img on system as root devices. It would probably throw you into a loop if you installed that. I can guarantee that I need to fix mounts. But temporarily booting it with fastboot should work even if the mounts need to be fixed. Of course that's only if most everything else is sound.
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] bubblesd306:
Ok, I figured it out as fastboot flash boot z-twrp.img. Anyways its a nogo. for recovery it goes to twrp startup page basically and thats it. So no way to do anything. For boot, I think it actually might...its trying...nope stuck on verizon at boot up and takes a good 3 minutes to get to that. I have to power down each time.
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] bubblesd306:
This may be the problem, I have unlocked my retail version and flashed Verizon software. I believe we have mixed images and the fstab-qcom was from Verizon and the boot/vmbeta were from the retail one. I will attach all the Verizon files once it allows me. Someone who is still on stock retail rooted will need to provide the fstab_qcom

It's a real thrash! Why should a Retail device, which has an almost clean system, install completely alien firmware, with another modem part, with the operator's bloatware?
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] bubblesd306:
Because I use wifi and video calling to my other Verizon family members. These phones have huge space and since your rooted you can remove alot of it and still have a a stock phone with features you want/need. Understand
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] techdeisel:
What could I give you to help get it for the

Amazon version?
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] Spaceminer:
I don't want anything. I try to do these things simply because I can. I know Verizon and At&t are locked down, but I'm not sure about Amazon. Is your bootloader unlocked or unlockable? If so, send me your boot.img.
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] DrakeJones:
Here is my fstab.qcom file. This is from my Z4 direct purchased from Motorola with unlocked bootloader PPF29.105-71

From my understanding of the directions is to download a copy of your current rom, pull out the boot.img, put that file in a folder, download and install magisk that can patch the file. And of course bootloader had to be unlocked...

So I downloaded my files from here https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/foles/official/

You're awesome.

Thanks for doing this! It looks like you've got what you need, but if you need it, I have the stock rom for my XT1980-3 amazon variant Z4. I was able to unlock the BL after getting the OEM code, and tried to flash a magisk patched boot img that failed spectacularly (user error, I'm sure. I know only enough to cause trouble). Managed to get it back to stock with the Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant (LMSA) tool, proceeded to try and failed again, and now am back to stock and unrooted, waiting for the grown-ups to figure this stuff out for this old lady. So thanks!

[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] loomy123:
So until TWRP is released, is there any way to root the Unlocked US Retail XT1980-3? Unfortunately I updated to the latest security patch and my current build is PPFS29.105-75-4. There aren't any stock images for this build except for the Verizon model, although I'm willing to try it if it'll work with my TMO sim.

Update: Well, I tried patching the boot image for just the 105-75 image instead of a 105-75-4 image (which isn't available yet). My phone boots but my wifi radio and mobile service no longer works and now I've got no way to fix my Z4. Anyone have any suggestions? For some reason I'm unable to flash the entire stock image to my phone. I tried sideloading but my command prompt just says Total xfer 0.00x and my phone says (adbd status 1) Installation aborted.

[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] DrakeJones:
Sooo, since every single developer is now focused on Android 10, our best hope for any kind of TWRP & Custom Rom support for the Z4 is going to be sometime after Moto decides to release the official Android 10 Update for Z4. Its just a waiting game until then, but at the same time Android 10 Rom support for 90% of the devices out there are also on hold until LineageOS officially announces the LineageOS 17 update. Its a double whammy waiting game for the Z4 either way.......blah
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] kewlzter:
OS version, has very little to do with TWRP development. TWRP is not OS version specific, and will work equally well no matter what version of Android you're using.

Interest in the Z line phones is just low.

It seems the link in your edited original post doesn't seem to work. However, I was able to navigate to your github repo for the device where I downloaded Image.gz, unzipped it using gzip and tried to boot using the resulting file, but no luck. It booted straight back into the bootloader. Did you use the QPFS30.130-15-11-5 kernel source code by chance?
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] TerrestrialHost:
I am willing to test, including riskier procedures and tinkering and whatnot. I'm familiar with the linux command line, etc.

I have the XT1980-3 purchased from Amazon, though I've long since unlocked the bootloader and flashed updates up through the XT1980-3_FOLES_RETUS_10_QPFS30.130-15-11-7 release.

So I splurged and bought the Whitestone Dome Glass protector and a week later I've got a crack across the middle of the glass. I can't pinpoint exactly how it happened, I'm typically very careful with my phone but here I am with a crack.

My questions are: Once I get a replacement whitestone dome glass with my warranty, should I consider putting a plastic protector over the whitestone dome glass?

Have any of you tried this before?

Will the screen retain typical sensitivity?

Just a thought I've had since it cracked so quickly with no obvious reason. I've read too many great reviews to think this is a normal event and don't want to keep paying for replacements.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] explosivequack:
In theory it should work since most screen protectors are glass on top of a plastic layer. It may have some negative effects on the touch screen but idk how minimal.

Idk why you'd do that tho, for me glass screen protectors are about the feel of the glass, there's some really inexpensive options on eBay for glass screen protectors. I got one for less than $5 and it has lasted me far longer than my white stone did. Going on about 2 months on the same protector with no cracks or lift.

I've never personally bought the Whitestone glass but the OnePlus I just bought had one installed already.

Within 24 hours of ownership, the bottom left corner chipped off. I've always use plastic type and glass before the curve craze.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] A.Noob:
Most of the steps are from mauronofrio from his twrp guide.

To update and Keep root and twrp for OnePlus 7 Pro (you must already have root, twrp, and unlocked bootloader) :

1) Download the full 2 gb Non-Root Stock system update to the the SD card. This means download the Non-Root, Non-Patched, Non-Incremental, totally Original Stock Oxygen OS update zip through the Oxygen Updater App, and Not through the phone system update. Or you can download the totally Original Stock Oxygen OS update zip to your SD card from the OnePlus website, if it is available to download yet.

2) boot into recovery (twrp)

3) flash the Oxygen OS Stock rom (do not reboot yet!!!)

4) flash twrp (do not reboot yet!!!)

5) flash magisk, wipe dalvick cache

6) reboot

7) after start up, Reboot into recovery Again (twrp)

8) in twrp, flash magisk again

9) reboot

10) Done, go on with your merry rootin' day.

This does not wipe data, when done properly. I updated my GM1917 to 9.5.13.GM21AA using this method a few minutes ago. I kept Magisk Root and TWRP. No problems. And then I flashed me some xXx rom.

I know there was another guide for updating too, but that had too many diagrams and charts and my brain couldn't handle the pressure.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] vrushank__:
Same steps for moving back to OOS from custom ROM?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] A.Noob:
Sure! This is what I did.

I had xXx rom installed on my OnePlus 7 not pro version before I bought my OnePlus 7 pro. So, hopefully, it will be basically the same steps. Although, I am not responsible for any rats that wake from the dead as Zombie Rats and eat your phone.

1)Download the stock Oxygen OS rom to the sd card on your phone from the Oxygen OS website, or from the Oxygen Updater app, or from XDA. Just make sure it is the Stock Rom though.

2) Go into TWRP and flash your Custom Rom's Uninstaller, if there was one, that the developer made with the custom rom. (do not reboot!!!!)

3) In TWRP, flash the Magisk uninstaller. (do not reboot!!!!!)

4) In TWRP, flash the Oxygen OS Stock Rom.

4) Reboot.

The Custom Rom, Magisk, and TWRP will No Longer be on your phone.
