[Moto G7 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] damaru:
So the rescue and smart assistant is not working on that particular model (or so Lenovo say) should I try anyway?

I get a Start Up Failed now. So I can't boot in the normal phone anymore. :( Not sure what I did wrong. So to get back to a normal phone flashing the whole firmware wouldn't help?

I'm at a place where I'd like to bring back the phone to exactly how it was stock so that I can go trough the TWRP process which seems to be straight enough...

EDIT 1 trying with the rescue software I get

Device missed [ro.build.version.full]

Please contact after sale service to re-write

EDIT 2

Reflashed the whole thing and the phone is work now.

twrp.me

Using the TWRP page information, I tried to install it and then when I try to reboot it goes trough the boot loop. Phone boots fine, back the N/A in the top corner of the boot screen. Get back in fastboot boot twrp, the wipe davlik, try to fix the bootloop, get the same freaking error :

cd /tmp/repackorig/ && /system/bin/magiskboot hexpatch kernel (lots of numbers) process eneded with

ERROR: 1

Error patching kernel

Phone boots fine though.

Try to fix Magisk (by installing the APK ):

Trying to Fix Magisk, using the apk, with the Boot.img that I used to reflash the whole phone didn't seems to work. I was able to create a custom boot img, and then the phone boot it doesn't say BAD CODE but a series of 40 numbers appears on the top screen. When I go back to the Magisk APK it shows that it's not installed, or more appropriate Installed: N/A ...

Trying to install lineage from the zip from the lineage site.

By booting in fastboot boot twrp, I wipe davlik, system, data, the install from zip I get:

Error installing zip file '/external_sd/lineage-18.1-2021-6-6-nightly-channel-signed.zip

Updating partition details...

...done

So, no idea where to go from there. Maybe I'm doing all that stuff in the wrong order. Should I try to reflash the boot, then not trying to install TWRP and trying to install Lineage like that? Is that possible?
