Asus has released a CHH (CHinese Hong kong) ROM update to P320.

It uses a bin format that needs processing to get the nb0 file.

I wrote a tool to convert the bin file into nb0 file. However it does not have the function to convert nb0 back to bin because of the complexity.

The converter can be downloaded at http://www.mediafire.com/upload_complete.php?id=pilqms9mmbx.

Usage: p320bin2nb0 <bin_file>

After successful conversion, the resulting file is output.nb0, which can be processed by using imgfsfromnb or msflshtool.

how to convert new ROMs

New ROMs for P320 - ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/Mobile_Phone/P320 - ZHH, FRA, RUS

p320bin2nb0 not works

Any idea how to convert new ROMs?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hdubli:
it is very strange in the newer roms especially from Samsung and Asus..they all have this 200 bytes signature as explained...this is also repeated in LG ks20 ROMs..

Also, if the ROM is dumped from the device directly, it can b dumped into xip and imgfs parts, and can b processed further..I hv the os.nb of bothe the wwe rom versions of p320 4.5 and 4.8..if required, I can upload on rapidshare.

Need more research on as how to remove the signature and make a rom kitchen out of it..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LiquidStorm:
Try this:

1 XOR whole .CAP file with DWord base 0xA87BA4DF (value could be wrong - used from P750 ROM's)

2 cut off the first 0x200 bytes

3 Rename file to .NB0

I've got a Moto G8 Plus which I rooted using Magisk after unlocking the bootloader. It works just fine as it is, but I would like to install TWRP so I can have a backup of it. However, I'm afraid of installing TWRP and breaking something or losing the root.

Hi there,

Thanks for your efforts puling together a TWRP for our phones!

I've got a question because I'm not quite clear about your response to the previous question about the security update. I've been using the stock recovery, rooted with Magisk and went through the whole process of accepting the security update and then re-rooted etc.

Will I wind up F'ing up my phone if I go to install your TWRP since I've already accepted the security update? Or would I be better off just compiling TWRP on my own ( it'll be my first foray into that area ) taking that route instead?

Any and all opinions welcome

After blankflash it will start bootloader, and then i can flash stock firmware. I found Stock FW and also blankflash on lolinet. I prefer using Fastboot for flashing. Don't need TWRP for flashing. Have locked, and Unlocked bootloader many times..

If needed, i can make a description on how to use blankflash as it can be hard to get started..

Check lolinet for stock FW and blankflash.. You need to know code name for your phone..

Lose all input and some output in Android after flashing TWRP

Hey, I'm having some difficulties with TWRP on the new April 1st System Update. I'm having no issues with touchscreen inside TWRP itsself, but once it's flashed, I lose all vibration, sound, touch input, and fingerprint reader access to the android OS. Tried it a couple of times and end up having to reflash the whole stock image by hand with fastboot to escape the situation. I'm about to give up for now and provision my device for daily use with no root and no custom recovery. Any ideas??
[Moto G8 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] methuselah:
If you are following proper procedure after booting to twrp and installing twrp on stock, if you still have issues, please do one thing. Clean flash stock ROM and then redo procedure. After booting to twrp and flashing twrp installer give recovery logs. Right after flashing twrp installer go to advanced and there you will see copy logs. Also include kernel LOG and quote twrp developer.

System Backup Question

I have a new Moto G8 Plus arriving in a few days and I have been researching the steps I need to take to install Lineage OS.

My current thinking is that I can fastboot boot recovery.img which boots device and loads TWRP recovery into ram with no permanent changes to my device.

I can then use the recovery backup option to make copies of the default unlocked ROM which I can restore if I have problems at a later date.

Do I have this correct?
[Moto G8 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] methuselah:
first of all this is twrp. I guess talking and reporting bugs related to the twrp are allowed.

Now how come you flash lineageOs ROM? there isn't any lineageOs ROM till now for this device! maybe you meant GSI! lineageOs 'gsi'

the twrp backup is working except u can not restore efs data partition.
[Moto G8 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mabo5184:
My intention was just to ask a TWRP question and confirm I understand correctly how to backup before I try a custom ROM.

Is there a way to install Android 10 or any security patches or updates to my G8 with magisk installed?

Bootloader is unlocked, fastboot boot twrp-3.4.0 , installed magisks 20.4

I would just like to have root access for filemanager and adblocker.

OTA Update did not work

Thanks for any help.
[Moto G8 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SnowTalker:
Typically speaking, if you just rooted your phone and didn't flash twrp roms or other things like that and just rooted by booting TWRP via adb, you should be able to install official OTA updates. Also Moto G8 plus doesn't have Android 10 yet officially but you can still install GSis in the meantime.
[Moto G8 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mabo5184:

Unfortunately not, update progress stops after some minutes (Step 3 of 6).

I have also tried to deactivate magisks with the integrated button, but OTA Update does not work.

I unlocked the Bootloader as described on Motorola website.

I tried fastboot boot twrp-3.3.x.img, but touch didn't worked, but 3.4.0 works.

Then fastboot boot twrp-3.4.0.img

Created a backup of all partitions to SD Card

install -> magisks 20.4.zip

Does it make sense to try a factory reset or is there logfile for the OTA update available which can helps me?

I would try installing stock firmware from lolinet, it will erase EVERYTHING, Including TWRP bootloader etc. It will make everything stock again to it's original state out of the box. If that doesn't work try locking your bootloader. :)

Hi

I'm using stock rom, uninstalled magisk with the uninstall button in the app, OTA update failed.

I tried a complete factory reset, but OTA still fails.

So no idea how to get offical updates, maybe the unlocked bootloader causes the fail.

I would not like to flash any unofficial version, because there is always something not working as expected.

Thanks for any ideas.

[Moto G8 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] luki1000:
No, I only did fastboot boot twrp-3.4.0-0-doha-mauronofrio.img

Could the OTA error caused by a modfied hosts file? I have adaway installed.

I already tested to restored the hosts file + factory reset, unistall magisk, but OTA still fails

I created a backup to SD Card before installing magisk.

Does it make sense to restore any partition, if yes which one can cause the OTA update to fail?

I have a twrp backup of:

Boot

System

System Image

Vendor

Vendor Image

Is there any risks if I restore a image? Its better to have a phone with no updates than a broken one :)

Thanks a lot for your help
[Moto G8 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] axsdenied1:
Yes, adaway will modify the system partition which will cause OTA to fail. I am in the same boat here with the failed OTA and just read about it last night.

For the future:

1. install magisk

2. enable systemless hosts in magisk

3. reboot (you MUST reboot here, do not skip this step)

4. set Enable systemless mode in adaway

5. setup adaway.

---------- Post added at 01:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 PM ----------

I would try System. But make sure you backup everything first. You can always do a clean flash using the latest files from the lollinet mirror, as long as the bootloader is not locked.
[Moto G8 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lollyjay:
Hi, did you try this? Is it effective? Actually, I think that magisk modifies the boot image. So backing up the boot image would be wise.
