Weird vbmeta shows up on mine, anyway yes if you want a full back up including partitions that if you lose you lose the ability to activate the phone then just take a full back up of all of them and just unselect the bottom super, then put that in a super safe place... Locally and in the cloud somewhere.

Hi! How to flash this recovery? And another maybe stupid question if I install this TWRP can I get rooted phone with simpe flashing of latest Magisk zip?

Thanks in advance for the people who decide to answer to my noobish questions and sorry for my bad English!

P.S. I understand that first of all need to unblock bootloader.

Sincerely yours Vadim.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tendiez01:
So to flash this, you'd first open a command window, check if ADB is working with "adb devices", and then use the command "adb reboot bootloader"

Once you're in Fastboot, you use the command "fastboot flash recovery C:\path\to\twrp.img" and reboot. that's all there is to it :)

and as for your second question, yes you can
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] vadimfe:
Hi! Thankyou! One user from XDA said it needs following :

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.4.0-0-sofia-test9.img

fastboot flash recovery_a twrp-3.4.0-0-sofia-test9.img

fastboot flash recovery_b twrp-3.4.0-0-sofia-test9.img

fastboot reboot fastboot

Are you sure with this single command?

Thanks in advance!

I would hold off of flashing it, the touch is not working right.

Speaking of touch, is there any way to get this working right, can options be set in the build, or can we borrow the drivers from stock?

I would test the image first before overwriting your recovery. It seems to work on x2041-1 and x2041-3, but only the right side of the touch on x2041-4. The left side touch is mirrored upsidedown.

Since nobody going to fix the touch screen issue on this phone, I don't know how to use the tWRP then? I did try USB-C OTG with USB mouse but that didn't work either, I don't see any mouse's cursor on the screen, how you made that work?
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] zfk110:
same here, did you find any help?
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Cubicsilver:
There is a trick to it, the mouse has to be plugged in while the phone is booting so that i can be detected by twrp. So what you have to do is send the boot twrp command to the phone and when it says complete on the command line, or when you see device is about to reboot, unplug your data cable and plug in the usb otg with mouse. It worked for an old corded mouse but didn't work with logitech wireless gaming mouse.

Good luck!

twrp-3.4.0-0-sofia-test9.img boots fine on my XT-2041-4, no screen issues at all. No issues with enabling/disabling MTP, mounting internal or external storage as well.

However, unable to mount /system as rw! As a result cannot install anything. Running "su" command on terminal returns inaccessible or not found. It is weird cause "whoami" shows root. Boot.img was rooted with magisk. Mount/remount /system in twrp's terminal didn't work.

Tried "adb disable-verity", but gives

verity cannot be disabled/enabled - USER build.

Interesting, but stock recovery has option mount /system and it works flawlessly.

Did anybody successfully disabled dm verity?
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tcaudill01:
Like you, I also have the 2041-4 and twrp works as it should.

I was also unable to gain root access to system with a stock rom. I tried all I knew and could run down on the net without any luck. I ended up installing AICP-15, rooted with magisk and now have root access to everything.

I'm not sure how Motorola has the system directory locked down, but it is certainly effective.

[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Chosimise:
Hi there, first of all, thank you guy for the amazing work

I'm having some problems with the TWRP 3.4 and 3.5 builds. First of all, after installing TWRP I'm no longer able to enter fastbootd mode. Once I'm in fastboot mode, the command

"fastboot reboot fastboot" will take me to TWRP recovery for some reason.

And as a member has mentioned above, the left side touchscreen in TWRP 3.5 is still reversed. (When I'm pressing up left, it's registering down left, vise versa)

If anyone knows how to solve those problems, especially how to enter fastbootd mode, I'd appreciate it

Thanks in advance!
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jova33:
the correct command is

fastboot reboot bootloader

even without the command, you can bootup into fastboot mode by holding power + vol-down
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DMedina559:
They mean fastbootd, it's a separate mode that's on the recovery partition with the recovery. It's has higher access to the super partition that can't be touched in regular fastboot
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jova33:
Sorry, i'm new to this device, what is fastbootd and what is it used for? what benefit is there to having access to it?
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] nidpancho:
I ran into this as well.

What I did was revert to stock to get fastbootd back (not sure if there's an easier way).

Then what I do is boot off of the twrp image file via command line instead of flashing it onto my phone.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Leroy_Sparks:
Ahhh. That sounds like an interesting "work around". Do you know if you can do TWRP backups/restores this way? I'd think it would work, but It'd be nice to know if anyone has done it.

How did you flash AICP-15? Using twrp? Were you able to wipe system and data?
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tcaudill01:
First thing, this was not the initial install but a dirty flash for a version update. Initial install was via the fastbootd method. Also, this was using AICP-15 on an XT2041-4. I can't vouch for any other ROM or phone version.

Set your active partion to "A", go to "Install", select your ROM zip file and let it install.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pdbqstab1:
Interesting. Have you tried "fastboot set_active a" initially in dirty flash or you did that after flashing rom in twrp? I'm tying to figure out how A and B partitions works.

Does twrp allows to wipe system after changing rom?

Also anybody tried to install Kali Nethunter kernel?

I finally attempted to boot into twrp and try to make a backup. Booted into TWRP 3.5.0-0-rav-sofia.img via fastboot without problems. Touchscreen is very fouled up and I could never do a "swipe" to initiate the backup (had to use the top left of the screen to wiggle it, but could never do a proper swipe). I don't have a USB to USB-C converter so I can't try to use a mouse.

Had the same experience after booting into TWRP 3.5.0-0-rav-sofia.img via fastboot on my Moto G Power XT2041-4 (sofia) phone. When I attempted to boot back to system, because of the inverted touch screen issue, the active partition was changed from A to B. The phone became unbootable :LOL:. Had to flash the stock rom again.

I was wondering if someone with a bit of expertise could have a look at the code and come up with a fix for the inverted touchscreen issue (y). It would be very much appreciated for those who would like a properly working TWRP recovery on this phone. Thanks in advance....

[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Falln2pieces:
On some models in TWRP, everything on the touchscreen is inverted and only half works. Meaning, top is bottom. And its impossible to complete a swype needed to do anything in TWRP because it doesnt go passed the middle of the screen.

So, I can install a rom fully with Fastboot, but when I need to install gapps or Magisk, Theres no way tom complete it.,

As I understand it some models work fine (my XT2041-4 (sofia) doesn't). It's claimed that you can use a mouse connected to the phone's USB port (OTG) to navigate TWRP without issues - you need to have correct adapter/cable to do it.

2. How do I do it.

I should note that I am running Linux Mint 20.1 as well.

[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jhill110:
First off backup all partitions except data. Then backup data only. Once you have a whole system backup there's no need to backup anything but data.

If you need to (non catastrophic episode) just restore data. Wipe data before restoring data.

EDIT:

If you see system twice only tic it once. Why it's there twice I have no idea.

[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Leroy_Sparks:
Thanks for the thorough and detailed answer!

I've never done it like that - backing up data and system separately, but that's a really good idea.

Seeing "Super" show up twice in the list is weird. I have another phone where system (or some other partition is in the list twice). Both instances show the same size.

@Banana_sam, yes, I can create backups using TWRP, but I can't restore them because TWRP backup restore screen doesn't show any partition :(
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Banana_sam:
Thanks for letting me know. Have you tried to load twrp via adb, instead of using it flashed on your phone, and if so were you able to backup and recover that way, as mentioned Here and Here ?
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Leroy_Sparks:
Yes, that is the million dollar question. Personally I was able to boot into TWRP and perform a backup (after obtaining a suitable USB adapter & mouse), but haven't tried restore for fear it could jack-up the phone.

A custom recovery that can't backup AND restore (i.e. "recover") isn't too useful.
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Banana_sam:
You have tried by having twrp flashed on your phone though, not thru adb, correct? The user from that one post i linked claimed he was able to do a backup and restore using that method. Although I'd like to get a general consensus that loading twrp from your computer via adb will grant you the ability to perform a proper backup and recovery. Knowing it only works for 1 person isn't enough for me to give it a try
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jhill110:
I'm using 3.4.0-0 and it works fine if you can get over having to use a mouse.

EDIT:

I'm on Android 10
[Moto G Power ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Leroy_Sparks:
I accessed/executed TWRP via ADB (fastboot boot twrpname) - I did not flash it on the phone. Using a mouse allowed me to select function and "swipe". I'm with you, though - because there doesn't seem to be a solid consensus that restores work, I'm very reluctant to attempt restoring the backup I made. This is the first phone I've had that didn't have documented, fully functional recovery available (surprising considering that it seems to be fairly popular). I used the 3.5.0-0 version BTW.
