I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS WORKS ON PHONES STILL RUNNING ANDROID 10!

Please tell me if it does.

fastboot boot twrp-3.6.0-11-0-borneo.img

DO NOT FLASH IT TO YOUR PHONE UNLESS YOU HAVE ALREADY BACKED UP IMPORTANT FILES! I have it flashed to my Android 11 updated RETUS and I'm still testing everything. Give me some feedback please and I'll work on fixing anything not working right.

Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

Also, if you boot this up and it doesnt work with your touchscreen, let me know. I'll need a little bit of info from you

1)

with android booted:

adb shell

cd /sys/class/touchscreen

ls

(tell me what it says)

2)

with twrp booted:

adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt

3)

from fastboot:

fastboot getvar all

Can confirm touch works....finally! Unable to confirm if it works on Android 10 but def is working on 11.

Follow-up....touch only seems to work if I just boot twrp from fastboot. Installing it makes touch inoperable again. I know you mentioned in your OP that you were still working kinks out with the install but I was just letting you know.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell

It's not booting on my phone. I'm running Android 10.
[Moto G Power (2021)] whoshotjr2006:
Hey thanks I'll look into it. Maybe I'll see if I can flash back to Android 10 and get twrp running for that again.

Also please edit your post and remove your IMEI fr your fastboot command output
[Moto G Power (2021)] jwreidmoto:
Removed IMEI. Thanks for your reply.
[Moto G Power (2021)] jwreidmoto:
Actually, I upgraded to Android 11 and the recovery works great! I no longer need it for Android 10 Thank you.
[Moto G Power (2021)] Onoitsu2:
Found this one shown at https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-official-twrp-3-5-2-cebu.4279917/ boots on mine perfectly, even supports USB-C hub to USB keyboard mouse receiver, just still no touch. And it's v3.5.2_10-0 versus the 3.4.0-0 I'd been using there. If only I could find the driver for my display, or how to integrate it, I could use AIK to load it myself. But following any guide for that has lead me to dead ends everywhere, and my own exploring too. How'd you get yours loaded for Android 11 to behave? Or is yours yet another display?
[Moto G Power (2021)] Onoitsu2:
OK, easy way found. Android Image Kitchen, and just replaced the entirety of the /vendor/firmware folder with all the bin's from my booted device, and /vendor/lib/modules with anything but audio, that was .ko and booted, it sleeps properly, everything.

So here is my TWRP_3.5.2_10-0-borneo_NVT-ts.img

*******

!!!STANDARD DISCLAIMER!!!

******

FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK! I only used fastboot boot for it.

******

EDIT: alternative version, as initial upload was missing enough FSTAB references that backups and restores were not working well enough. Working now for boot and recovery at least. Still unable to flash but can boot it directly.
[Moto G Power (2021)] whoshotjr2006:
Guys i repurposed my first thread here to include build instructions for compiling twrp so hopefully someone will take up the cause of getting twrp android 10 booting and useable. Its really just down to touchscreen and maybe some other small things at this point. I'm working on some other things I think you all will like and hopefully will have some news about things sometime soon.

I'm pretty focused on android 11 based stuff atm and Ill keep plugging away at things but if you would like to collaborate and contribute then all compiling instructions are in this thread:

[Moto G Power (2021)] whoshotjr2006:
updated op with new twrp android 11 build.

new build is trying to get novatek and focaltech touchscreens working in twrp. Ilitek on my phone with android 11 still works
[Moto G Power (2021)] treesus:
My novatek seems to be working w it on android 11 (bell/virgin mobile retca) xt2117-4 ... thank you
[Moto G Power (2021)] zfk110:
I dont see 11 update on here

lolinet mirrors - firmware, software, iso etc.

lolinet mirrors - powered by h5ai

mirrors.lolinet.com

its still on 10
[Moto G Power (2021)] whoshotjr2006:
update op with twrp 3.6.0 build.

If you need old builds for some reason let me know ill add links
[Moto G Power (2021)] whoshotjr2006:
new build uploaded in op hopefully fixing focaltech screens
[Moto G Power (2021)] whoshotjr2006:
try this

hopefully changing the name in the firmware loading script does the trick for you. let me know what happens

fastboot boot twrp3-6-0-1.img
[Moto G Power (2021)] 4xc7xy:
Sadly just like before, the touch does not work still.

Should I try maybe removing my pattern lock since i have that enabled for whenever I unlock my phone? TWRP has asked me this before on other devices if I had a pattern lock but should I just try removing it for now and see if touch works then?
[Moto G Power (2021)] 4xc7xy:
Another reply, i removed the lock screen pattern stuff I had, i did get access to the usb functions for twrp but still no touch. I did get the TWRP dmsg file though. Hopefully this helps even more.

(Edit): I did also boot the original one just to see if it would work, as stated before, no touch support.

Sorry for any troubles in advanced.
[Moto G Power (2021)] Konner920:
touch dont work
[Moto G Power (2021)] whoshotjr2006:
Op updated for twrp build based on retus a11 blobs

Keep me updated on if any of you figure out your touchscreen issues and i'll add fixes to github.

I've never been able to get touchscreen working on slot_b so make sure you guys are on slot_a i guess.
[Moto G Power (2021)] Onoitsu2:
That is an interesting bit I never considered when tinkering that might play a factor, it shouldn't but I guess it could.
[Moto G Power (2021)] blaze2051:
can this work for the tmobile LG v60? we have a beta build 3.5.2-11 but its not working fully,
[Moto G Power (2021)] mario0318:
You'll have to ask that in your device designated forums. But to give you the short answer, No. These are highly dependent on specific device trees which are not, if ever rarely, cross compatible even across the same manufacturer because there will always be some hardware component unique and strictly designed for that device. That is not to say it won't potentially boot up, just be prepared to face some quirks or bricking your phone outright.
[Moto G Power (2021)] cesandoid:
Would this work for the Moto g power?
[Moto G Power (2021)] Tyler96:
I tried this with my "Moto g power (2021)" and the touchscreen didn't seem to work in the "TWRP" loader page, and had trouble installing other .zip files after boot. (not sure how well i worded this. not real great with this stuff)
[Moto G Power (2021)] cesandoid:
Okay mine being The 2020 variant probably wont work. If the displays are different especially.
[Moto G Power (2021)] Tyler96:
So i tried installing a magisk.zip file with the TWRP install option, and when i start the install it just goes back to the TWRP loading screen and infinite loads. How do i fix this or is it just a current bug?
[Moto G Power (2021)] boldfilter:
Same.
[Moto G Power (2021)] thebestofall007:
I wasn't expecting this to work: I BOOTED this TWRP when I had an android 12 GSI installed and the TWRP'S touch STILL worked.

If I have TWRP FLASHED to the phone's recovery with the GSI installed, the TWRP'S touch DOESN'T work.

Why is that?
[Moto G Power (2021)] boldfilter:
System isnt being mounted as writeable
[Moto G Power (2021)] bdizzo2l7:
Was anyone able to get touch working? And am I understanding correctly that touch works fine on the booted device just not when loaded into twrp?
[Moto G Power (2021)] zfk110:
Just use USB-C mouse, this is not a big deal for all these touch not working complainers
[Moto G Power (2021)] xxyngdevlperxx:
So to make sure, this does work on Android 11?
[Moto G Power (2021)] TT_Vert:
On my moto g power 2021 it did not. When i would boot to recovery it would just boot to OS. Tried via ADB and using button commands and when I selected recovery it just rebooted to OS.

Dave
[Moto G Power (2021)] mindmajick:
Do button commands work? Don't care if touch works if usable without a mouse. Thanks
[Moto G Power (2021)] rogjr1986:
Bro the fastbootd is broke on this recovery.. you cannot flash vendor from what I know and I'm not sure about the other partitions but vendor is a big one for me and my trees do not work for fastbootd either so it's not just yours
[Moto G Power (2021)] :
After taking the time to understand why touchscreen doesn't work for some people there are two touchscreen drivers novatech and focaltech

novatech uses NVT-ts as a command focaltech something like FTS_TS or FTS-ts as a command can't really tell cause am reading kernel logs I would fix it but am busy.
[Moto G Power (2021)] KirisameRamen:
Well, I ran fastboot boot twrp.img to load twrp into ram and got into twrp, then went to advanced and did install recovery ramdisk and took a backup of my boot.img. Rebooted, and was stuck in a twrp bootloop and the touchscreen only worked every few boots. Decided to try and switch to partition B for idk why I thought it was a good idea, but got stuck into another bootloop until I plugged in my mouse via usb-otg (IDK why that let twrp boot but it did). Decided to try and switch back to partition A, and after doing so rebooted once again, I got stuck in another bootloop after but this time just rebooting after the powered by android screen with the Motorola logo. After letting it sit for an indeterminate amount of time less than a half hour, It booted twrp perfectly and let me restore the boot.img I had backed up (backups are king!) and can now boot back into the android environment with root access.

Question: what did I do wrong and how can I fix it / do it correctly?

I do happen to have a full system backup I took with dd when I had root that is now residing on my sd card for oh **** moments, but now I am not sure I can restore if I do happen to mess up like this and it goes south in a worse way -- having lost root access to the device for a period during my first mishap.

Let me know if I should (and how to) post any needed information/command output from my device if that is helpful.

Cheers
[Moto G Power (2021)] SavXL:
Hey man, I tried doing this on my moto g power 2021 and the touch screen still wasn't working. I did the first method with the cd/sys... and it said ft8009. Is there any way I can get touchscreen working since I don't have a usb mouse to use. Thanks for your help on getting twrp for this phone btw. We just need touchscreen to work in it and it'll be complete afaik.
[Moto G Power (2021)] leathan:
I booted into twrp and it worked fine. Then I accidentily installed it and it will not boot into system. Will not boot with adb and will not boot with fastboot. It only boots to twrp and mouse and touchscreen do not work. any ideas?

EDIT: Got into bootloader and reinstalled stock recovery when i boot into it it seems to work but isnt reading the sd card (says 0MB)

EDIT2: I just fully reflashed it to stock and it booted and ill redo everything again.

EDIT3: I think I'm just going to settle for not installing TWRP and manually booting into it via pushing it from pc every time. It appears no matter what I do it bootloops into TWRP.
[Moto G Power (2021)] leathan:
-sorry misspost-
[Moto G Power (2021)] chazz69:
I can get it working just fine but I'm still unable to gain access to build.prop.

Is this just me or is that just the way it is?

[Moto G Power (2021)] New GBA XL:
@whoshotjr2006 your gdrive links are broken

I'm trying to flash a custom rom of a higher version of Android, but I can't seem to be able to mount the system partition with a TWRP version I found online, and all others including yours here do not seem to boot at all. The TWRP I am using, which seems to be a mirror of yours, does not support mounting the system partition or the touchscreen (which isn't an issue since I have a USB mouse handy)
[Google Pixel 6] Vio281:
hi can anyone tell me if the radio in the pixel 6 is stronger than pixel 5? I'm using the unlock version for tmobile. Pixel 5 is ok but would like to know if pixel 6 is better and if the mmwave from pixel 6 pro is worth it.
[Google Pixel 6] PhilipL2021:
(UK based) I've not noticed on 4G the signal showing any better than my Pixel 2 XL, but at a place it would show a low signal my Pixel 2 XL was impossible to use for web browsing, but the Pixel 6, whilst showing the same low signal was useable, not great, but did manage to bring up some web pages, so was able to work better with the rubbish reception.

As for mmWave and is it worth it I will let others answer that question as in the UK its as rare as hens teeth. I think it seems to have only been invented so they could market super fast headline speeds for 5G, and apart from that, has little practical benefit.
[Google Pixel 6] derausgewanderte:
I have a Pixel 5a still and from my two days driving around I can say that the 5a has better 5G reception than the P6 so far. No mmwave on my P6 - I didn't want to shell out the extra $100 for ATT variant.

(US on ATT).
[Google Pixel 6] Vio281:
damn well that sucks :(
[Google Pixel 6] oriondream:
I noticed (two days side by side usage) Pixel 6 reception far more spotty then iphone 12 Max Pro. US Northeast, Verizon Wireless. Both phone used concurrently. iPhone rock solid compared to Pixel. Even my old Pixel 4a is better than Pixcel 6.

YMMV.
[Google Pixel 6] vandyman:
I would not go by the signal strength icon right now on the P6. It needs to be tweeked with a software update to read more accurately.

The P5 had the same exact issue last year when it was released.
[Google Pixel 6] mojorisin7178:
I don't really see any difference between the pixel 5 and 6 reception. They both are not great. I was hoping 5he January update would improve it some but it just fixed the complete disaster that was December update.

As far as mmwave it is not worth it. The reception on mmwave is so poor and it would cost so much money to deploy. Right now I think it is really only in sports stadiums and malls places where there's alot of people in a small area and also in areas where there is no Verizon FiOS access. Eventually it will grow but I think it's going to be years before it's good enough. They basically have to have a cell tower on every corner and that will take years. And sub 6 5g is basically LTE++
[Google Pixel 6] neptun2:
For me signal strength on pixel 6 in LTE networks (no 5G for my country) is same as on my colleagues' phones which at work is around -75 dBm. At my home signal is weaker at around -100 dBm but i stay connected to LTE and don't see any missed calls or inability to use internet. Unfortunately i have not measured signal at home with my old phone (oneplus 7) for comparison.

After all modem in Tensor chip is same as in the exynos chipset used in samsung galaxy s20 series. Sure newest qualcomm is better as well as the exynos in the s21 series but our modem should be pretty good when google learn how to adapt their software to it.
[Google Pixel 6] chaimav:
Verizon and AT&T are supposed to go live with C band today (unless you live near an airport). From what I have read, this seems like the only real benefit of 5G. It is supposed to fall between Sub-6 and mm wave for speed and range.

Does anyone know how to tell if I connected to it?
[Google Pixel 6] derausgewanderte:
Whether due to the Jan update or the fact that I disabled 2G on my phone, the signal on my P6 improved significantly. I've never been able to get 5G at my home and now get mid to full signal.

Happy user...
[Google Pixel 6] chaimav:
Are you a Verizon or AT&T customer by any chance? The were supposed to enable C Band yesterday.
[Google Pixel 6] derausgewanderte:
oops, thought it's in my sig. ATT -US
[Google Pixel 6] chaimav:
What are your speeds now? I haven't noticed any great leaps in my area, also AT&T
[Google Pixel 6] chaimav:
I figured out why my speeds didn't increase. It's a very limited roll out 😐

AT&T 5G+ gets a boost with C-Band in several US cities and on 17 phones

AT&T is jumping straight into C-Band 5G with coverage in eight metro areas and support for the network ready on several of its 5G phones.

[Google Pixel 6] DGL2033:
I'm on TMobile P6, practically sitting on a tower, right off a major expressway, suburban, about 5 miles from major airport. Using Network Cell app, Playstore, I'm getting 5G about ⅔ of the time, average download speed, 300 Gbps. I'm using Speed Check & FCC for those tests though. The beta speed test in Network Cell is not quite ready for primetime. The rest of the app, is well developed, and been around for many years. Best speed from my previous device, LG V40 thin Q was 4G+ around average 150 mbps download. Signal strength around -92 to -102 for the P6, the LG was around -110.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nxt:
Is anyone's Google Phone Prompt 2FA working on the Pixel 6? I found two other people on Pixel Reddit that has an issue with their Pixel 4a and the issue started after updating to Android 12. I too have Pixel 4a and can't get Google Prompt to work on either phones.

I have an old Moto e6 on Android 9, I signed in and right away Google Prompt works worked fine on my previous S20 week before I got my 6.

I've tried everything on my Pixel 6 to try and get it to work, just won't. Signed out of Google on phone and sign back in, made sure Play Services is updated, cleared data in Play Services, etc...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Works for me. I think there's always one more place where you have to set things. :D I don't particularly remember four days ago where exactly I got to where I needed to, somewhere in Google's Security section.

View attachment 5446095
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Flippy125:
I was having the same issue after wiping and rooting, and managed to fix it by doing the following:

1. (From your computer) Go into your Google account settings > Security checkup. Sign your Pixel out.

2. Sign back into Google from the notification you should receive on the phone a few seconds after

3. Clear all data for Google Play Service and (this part may be unnecessary but I did it) open the Google app to make sure it starts back up

4. Make sure background data is enabled for Google Play Services. If it is, you should be good to try again.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nxt:
I've done various combinations of this before, and just tried it again per your instructions, still no go.

EDIT: I figured it out, it was the Device & App Notifications setting in Notifications. Make sure Google Play Services is allowed/enabled. So weird why it wasn't in the first place!

EDIT2: Hmm it worked once to set it up, now trying to sign in on another computer and Google Prompt not popping up on my phone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ckupsco:
I am seeing the exact same behavior, it works once for me to set it up, but not when I actually sign in. The prompt shows up on my work phone with android 11 but not my pixel pro. The "use your phone to sign in" works fine. Google One support has been zero help. The idiots keep telling me that 2fa is text message only or they send the same steps over and over again. SIGH. My account is on my kids pixel 4a with Android 12 and they get the prompts as well.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
I also have some issues with 2FA google phone prompt. It works without a problem on my P3 and P4 XL, but only occasionally on my P6 XL. It (in about 60% of the cases) either won't even show or it bugs out (error bla whatever after using the prompt). It's very unreliable as of now, and it's not solely an Android 12 issue (both P3 and P4 run A12 and work).

I guess its another software bug we can pile on the P6 in combination with A12^^
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] alexpowermetal:
Those with problem, can you try something? Reboot your phone, wait 2-3 minutes till it's fully booted and try to sign in on other devices to see if you'll get a pop up on your Puxel 6 pro. I found for past week that lots of notifications started to delay for hours. Not all notifications but most of them. For example Gmail, Home Assistant, Aliexpress, etc. And pop up for 2fa as well. I found that reboot fixes problem for short period of time and then problem returns. It started suddenly as I said about a week ago. Can someone confirm that after reboot they get pop up for 2fa?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Opensystem:
Edit - nvm 😓
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mko000:
Wrong topic?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Opensystem:
Good call lol thanks
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] xdabert:
I just fixed this for myself. I think this issue started for me after an Android OS upgrade plus factory reset.

Open your Google account settings from the smartphone you want to setup as a 2FA security key.

Manage your Google Account

Click on Security Tab

Select 2-Step Verification

Click on Security Key Chevron

Click on Add security key

Follow the prompts to add your current smartphone as a security key

Hi,

Is there an app that can enable use of the touchscreen on WM phones to draw on a PC? I can draw better on the phone with the stylus than using the crap laptop touchpad and wanted to know if you can use the touchscreen as the mouse.

I already use Gremote, but that can be difficult to draw with and need a way to be able to draw diagrams on the go for my college work :s

Thanks in advance for any help! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] uniqueboy:
Maybe you could use something like this, there are a few different softwares like this but I noticed this one earlier today. :) http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-remote-touch.html
