[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Alchedin:
Hi there fellow Moto G5 users. I've been fiddling some time now with the 14.1 version and I want to try out the new 17 version with nightly's. Normally I've have no problems with upgrading or downgrading rom's for my devices, but since newer versions are now 64-bit it's throwing me off.

Since there are so many topics around with tips and procedures I'm a bit confused how to get started to migrate/change to LineageOS 17.

So could anybody help me on how to upgrade to LineageOS 17? As far as I know my phone has: a unlocked bootloader, TWRP with 64-bit support and LineageOS 14.1. What would the first step for me do?

As far as I understand it would be something like this:

(0. Backup up everything + written down both imei's) - done this in advance

1. Lock the bootloader again (whilst LineageOS 14.1 is still installed?)

2. Erase everything (with commands)

3. Flash an official Moto G EU rom (with commands)

4. Update it using OTA to the latest supported version to get a 64-bit rom/kernel/bootloader installed

5. Unlock bootloader again

6. Flash custom recovery again

7. Flash LineageOS 17?

That is what I'm thinking for me to do, is it correct? Or do I miss some stuff?

Any help will be appreciated.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
Never lock the bootloader once you have unlocked it - if anything goes wrong in the future you will never be able to fix it without specialist hardware or a motherboard replacement

There is no need to lock the bootloader to change roms

See my post below that is basically answering the same question for full instructions on how to upgrade

Basically update stock firmware to latest retail then format data with latest offical twrp, wipe system data cache & flash rom

This phone has ArcanseOS 10 installed, which has only 3 apps installed... Setting, Clock and Calculator. There is no Play Store app, no Phone app, nothing.

[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TheFixItMan:
OrangeFox Recovery​

I have compiled a version of OrangeFox recovery. It works the same way twrp does.

This is for testing purposes only.

At the moment the image is too big to flash and can only be booted to. If you know a way of making the image smaller let me know.

Currently it's using the pre-built kernel from the official twrp to compile the recovery image.

Bugs

Can only boot to recovery

Mounting persist or firmware causes freezing

After formatting data when encrypted it hangs on updating partition details. Just manually restart back to recovery.

Works

Mounting system data cache

Decryption of data partition when phone is encrypted

App Manager

MTP

ADB

Wipe system data cache

Decryption of data partition when phone is encrypted

Need testing

Flashing a rom

Flashing other zip eg gapps & magisk

Backup & Restore partitions

Any other feature

How to install

recovery.img.zip is the full version of OrangeFox recovery. Download and upzip.

Or download OrangeFox-Unofficial-cedric.img which is a reduced sized version which has some fonts etc excluded to make the image smaller but it's still too big to flash permanently. Rename to recovery.img

fastboot boot recovery.img

Each time you want to enter OrangeFox Recovery you need to do the above until such time the image is small enough to install

[General Questions and Answers] bigroc2223:
I signed up for a beta test on centernode and received a smartphone to test. The phone is so new that I cannot find any information about it on the internet. The bootloader is unlocked on it. I was reading that you can use magisk to root any device with an unlocked bootloader and system image. Since the phone is so new I cannot find a system image. Is it still possible to root the device? Is there a way I can backup the stock ROM and create a system image that way? Is there something else that will work? I really want to root the device because it came with a preinstalled app which is a system booster type app. It will not let me uninstall it, disable it, or force stop it. When I install my app for my alarm clock it keeps killing the app and the alarm will not go off. I have went through all of the app settings and cannot get it to stop. It also keeps interfering with my VPN. I would also like to root th device to remove some of the bloatware and to have access to the HOST file. Could someone please help me this? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks guys!
[General Questions and Answers] Gregbmil1:
I'm not known for giving good advice but if I was in your situation I would try to install the lastest version of Magisk and hope for the best😁. Knowing how I am it would be driving me nuts wondering if it would work.

That booster app, have you tried uninstalling it with adb?
[General Questions and Answers] bigroc2223:
Hey, thanks for your reply. I am really eager to root it. I almost just went for it. However, then I thought about it. If something went wrong I would not have any way to recover the phone since there is not a system image available yet. I have not given adb removal a try yet as I figure it would just be easier to go with rooting since it will help me with everything I am trying to achieve. If I cannot root it then I will go the adb route. Hopefully someone will come along and help me out. Fingers crossed 😆
[General Questions and Answers] Gregbmil1:
Let us know what you end up doing. Are you expected to send the phone back after the beta testing? If you are responsible for any damages done to it, I would not try it.

You could send it back bricked and say you have no idea what happened to it, lol. That or say you were "testing" the security of the device and that it passes😅
[General Questions and Answers] dlads:
If you have the firmware then you're in luck (especially if it's the full one)

Download a program for windows called "Payload Dumper"

Open the zip (firmware) and copy out the payload.bin file.

Copy this to the input folder from payload dumper.

Run the exe for payload dumper

It'll output a bunch of files to output folder

You'll see a boot.img file this is essentially the file you use to boot your phone and also where magisk would reside too.

Copy this to your phone.

Install the latest Magisk then open it

Click install and then patch a file, navigate to the boot.img

Click the boot.img and it'll output a file to "SDcard\Downloads" usually called magisk_patched.img

Copy this to your fastboot folder on your computer and open a CMD / Powershell command to that location.

Then boot to fastboot / bootloader mode

Then type:

fastboot boot "name of patched boot.img"

eg:

fastboot boot magisk_patched.img

The phone will boot

From this point you are rooted but you need to make it permanent as you haven't flashed the boot sector at this point, you're only booting an image, if you were to reboot you'd lose it.

Open Magisk again then click install again.

Now instead of just seeing patch a file you'll see "Install Directly" + "Install after an OTA"

Click Install directly, allow it to finish, then reboot.

You're now fully rooted.

Heres my guides for the oneplus 8 pro, don't use the images there as they're for the 8 pro, you also can download payload dumper from there too.

IT's easy.

Good luck ;)
[General Questions and Answers] bigroc2223:
So it sounds like since this is a beta device and I cannot find a firmware image in out of luck?

I guess the only other option I have is finding someone who can port twrp for my device. Then I can just root via TWRP. However, from what I have read that might not even be an option as Android 11 mostly has to be rooted the hard way which you have gave instructions on above.

Can anyone think of anything else I can try?
[General Questions and Answers] dlads:
You can also extract the boot image... Can't remember the commands for this via ADB, Google ADB extract boot.img
[General Questions and Answers] bigroc2223:
Awesome this is exactly what I was trying to figure out in my original post. Since there is no stock firmware available yet (beta unit) what is the best way to backup the device so I do not get a brick in the process? Thanks again for your help.
[General Questions and Answers] dlads:
An actual back up? Probably twrp if available.

If not then you'd need a recovery method.

So providing you have a recovery solution you should be fine.
[General Questions and Answers] bigroc2223:
Ahhh okay since it is a beta device no one has made TWRP for it yet. What do you think the risk is of manually pulling the boot img, patching, and flashing is? If I can get that to work I will try to port twrp to the device. Thanks again for the help.
[General Questions and Answers] dlads:
You're very welcome.

Chances of it not booting after doing that? Absolutely zero.

It's a copy not a cut, so you're fine.

The only problem you may encounter is the ability to access the device on that level.

Just turn on usb debugging and make sure ADB works as it should be checking on ADB devices.

Then go ahead with the pull.

You'll be fine.

Also once you have the boot.img if the patched one doesn't work then just reboot and you're back to normal.

I would advise against flashing it, just boot it.

[General Questions and Answers] bigroc2223:
Thanks for your help guys I appreciate it greatly. I am going to give this a try today. I will report back and let you guys know how it goes.

One last question. Since this beta unit I got is a tracfone branded unit with an unlocked bootloader is it possible that they could push a firmware which will lock the bootloader at some point? If so is there any way to prevent that from happening? Thanks again for all your help.
[General Questions and Answers] dlads:
Possible yes, but I doubt they would do that.

Is it an ambassador phone? Or for testing?

Locking the bootloader wipes the phone so I wouldn't imagine they'd do that without forewarning.

Plus locking a bootloader comes with its risks too, so you could say that it broke from the update.

But it won't come to that, I've had several ambassador phones myself and honestly they're fire and forget for the most part, I wouldn't worry about it
[General Questions and Answers] bigroc2223:
It's a phone for testing which I am allowed to keep.

It is a phone for testing which I am allowed to keep. Specs are Snapdragon 750g, Adreno 619, and 4gb of ram. Not too shabby for a free phone. It is a lot snappier than the moto e6 I was previously using.

[General Questions and Answers] bigroc2223:
I'm just trying to get some help here guys that's it. I appreciate everyone's efforts and opinions. Let's all try to work together and try to find a solution peacefully please.

So far I have adb installed and working. I have tried to use the commands I was able to locate via google. So far nothing works. I have also tried uninstalling some programs using adb which did not work. I think I am going to have to find someone who could port twrp for me 😭
[General Questions and Answers] dlads:
Sorry I got the wrong end of the stick, I thought you was a second person posting..

Forget what I said
[General Questions and Answers] dlads:
In regards to the commands, what output do you get when you try the command?

Also can you use ADB for other things

Eg: type ADB devices and see what comes up.

You'll be prompted on your phone for access.
[General Questions and Answers] bigroc2223:
Lol no problem I was a little confused. I actually thought you were talking to the other guy lol. Well, adb is functioning correctly as it finds the device and I got the prompt. Ash devices responds. I tried this https://howtorootcherrymobilesnapv2.weebly.com/img-pull-extract-via-adb.html however it said no such file or directory. I tried the command you posted adb pull boot img however it said access to C:\ denied. Everything else I found seams to require root or twrp. I actually found out I would not be able to port twrp without a stock recovery img so that's out as well.

As for trying to remove apps with adb I get nothing after posting the command with package name as outlined here https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/amp/. From what I was able to find it should say success after removal.

I think the first step to pulling the boot.img would be finding out exactly where it is located on the phone since it said no file or directory existed. I am not sure how to find it.
[General Questions and Answers] dlads:
Developer options is on right? And usb debugging must be as you're getting ADB devices?

Not sure, might be the device?

At the bottom of that guide is lists dumping your ROM?

Perhaps they may work?

Then just open the ROM and extract payload.bin.

From there you can use payload dumper.

If it even gives it in zip format, sorry I've not had to do much of this
[General Questions and Answers] bigroc2223:
When I run adb cat /proc/partitions I get access denied. Looks like it is impossible to pull partitions from the phone without root which is a bummer. I highly doubt an image will ever be available for this device to root it. This sucks since the bootloader is unlocked 😭 thanks for all your help I greatly appreciate it. If I happen to come across anything I will post it here. However, like I said without root it looks like gg. Still cannot figure out why I cannot remove apps with adb though.

Edit - I also found out that you cannot disable all apps using adb. So I am up sh*t crick without a paddle 0-2. 😭
[General Questions and Answers] dlads:
Are there any apps on the phone that may be blocking access?

Any apps that have governance over the phone?

Administrative privileges?

Is there anything additional or greyed out options in developer options?

What about OEM unlocking (bootloader is unlocked so shouldn't matter but thought I'd ask)

Lastly are you using Windows 10 or 7?
[General Questions and Answers] bigroc2223:
I came across a post a while back of you asking how to pull the boot img from a device. Where you able to accomplish it without root or twrp? I am trying to determine if it is even possible.

There are no admin apps or anything from what I can see that would be preventing or blocking me from performing the commands. As far as developer options the only thing that seemed to be greyed out is HD audio. I am using Windows 10. I wish they would come up with a way for magisk to just patch the bootloader directly.
[General Questions and Answers] dlads:
I never needed to, as I had the firmware available to download and this was a while back when I was learning about booting rather than flashing.

Also the images, yes I wanted to know how to obtain them and what was easier.

But no I never needed to.

I'll give the extraction a try myself tomorrow when I get home from work.
[General Questions and Answers] bigroc2223:
I stumbled across something

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0.img

This is supposed to backup your whole phone. However, when I run it I get no such file or directory. I have verified that /dev/block/ does exist so I just need to find the proper name of the boot.img or the proper name of the file to backup all the partitions. However, when I install a file manager I cannot open the /dev folder.

Edit - I actually figured it out bro. It cannot be copied without root. Therefore, I am going to have to wait for the device to be officially released then contact tcl or tracfone for either the stock img or stock recovery img. From them I can either pull the boot img and root or use the recovery img to port twrp and root. This is how I figured it out maybe it will help someone with something in the future.

If you use the command "ls" it will show the contents of a directory in adb. So I knew the img files I needed were somewhere after the dev folder but I did not know the exact location. I could not use a file manager to look beyond the /dev folder in android without root. Therefore, I ran adb ls /dev and it showed me everything in that directory. I then saw /block so I knew that was the next folder and my files were in that directory after Google searching. Finally I ran adb ls /dev/boot/ and was able to the file mmcblk1. This is the file I needed. At this point if I was ROOTED I could run dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1 of=/sdcard/mmcblk1.img and the file would be copied to my sd card. However, if your rooted the easier way is to just install twrp and backup from it.

Thanks for your help dladz. I appreciate it greatly. We're going to have to wait for the device to be released and see if I can obtain the files then.

Take note that the backup gets directly stored on computer.
[General Questions and Answers] dlads:
Nice.

Would it be worth contacting them to see if they could provide the firmware? Could say it's for testing?

Worth a shot.

Again I haven't done this myself, only with firmwares and payload.bin files.

Strange that it doesn't work without root, it's the whole point of doing it in the first place?

There was a guide in the OnePlus 8 Pro section of XDA, I vaguely remember seeing it
[General Questions and Answers] bigroc2223:
I tried contacting them and told them the phone is stuck in bootloop. They said they will not be able to provide me with the firmware until the device is officially released lol. I think they know what's up 😄 I was looking and found some devices with twrp that are running the same SOC which is the 750g. I wonder if I could use twrp from one of these devices to temporarily boot to so I can make a backup? Flashing one that is not compatible will brick the device more than likely. However, I wonder if I could boot into the twrp images available for the other devices until I find one that will work? Then I could make the proper backups of the boot img and recovery img. From those I would be able to root and make a proper recovery image. I think that will be the best shot at this point. However, I have no experience with something like this so I do not know if it would work or if there is even a chance of it working.
