[RECOVERY] [OFFICIAL] TWRP for Moto G Stylus 5G (2023) [genevn/geneva]

Introduction: Team Win Recovery Project or TWRP for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added...

I've never used Evolution, see if the Lineage one I spoke about works. That way you know if it's your phone or just the GSI.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] eddieofny:
Does anyone know if this works with the non-stylus Moto G 5G? Codename is pnangn. I would assume not, but i figure I'd ask in case anyone's tried.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] ragarcia87:
I wouldn't try it unless you know how to unbrick.

I mean it could possibly work if you hacked one together with the right kernel... You can always try it with a fastboot boot twrp.img to see if it boots after switching the kernel in the twrp.img, that way it's minimal risk since it's not flashing it..
[Moto G Stylus 5G] n6bhu:
The default answer is no. That's why we're here. I have the same phone that you have, as well as others here; it'll take patience more than anything, sooner or later there will come a solution to root our phones.

Meanwhile, the Stylus is a very popular phone, and easier to root, apparently. The wrong ROM will brick an Android phone, I have never heard of a successful ROM substitution (though anything is possible, and some variants of phones may have identical hardware to their immediate counterparts).

Just sit tight and please give us a heads-up if you come across anything interesting along these same lines. Cheers.☮
[Moto G Stylus 5G] atsalchenberg:
Twrp does exist, I have the magisk installer for two v 3.7...

I found evo roms run like **** on this device. Personally I think CRdroid probably works the best, Rising gsi roms seem to run pretty flawlessly as well.

I found the twrp installer zip that u flash through magisk for recovery. If u want to manually flash just do fastboot boot recovery then flash through twrp that way.

I dunno if other ways work, but that's the way I did it and it worked
[Moto G Stylus 5G] n6bhu:
Okay, I hope we're both discussing the same phone here -- I have a Moto G 5G 2023 with an SKU designation of XT2313-6 running 'pnangn' -- I haven't found anything, not even "unofficial" images in the way of TWRP nor ROMs recommended for this particular model.

While the ROM is optional (i.e. though nice to have a custom ROM), acquiring "executive override" is mostly what we're after. If we both have the same phone, and this specific TWRP image worked for you, then perhaps I'll give it a go.

In years past, I've learned to drag my heels a bit before diving-into modifications, after a couple (few) narrow escapes; mostly due to instructions that were missing one or two steps (with the same instructions copied to other websites!) -- in one instance, the next step said "reboot" -- TWRP said "are you sure you want to reboot without an operating system?" Caught that one just in the nick of time.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] TapTSEC:
how the hell do i install twrp on this wacky ahh phone? fastboot literally tells me that recovery is not a partition
[Moto G Stylus 5G] n6bhu:
I have the same phone, and I cannot honestly recommend anything at this point; I had no trouble rooting my previous phones, but this one will require a lot more research before I can root it.

Meanwhile, if you haven't already tried this:

~$ fastboot getvar all

If cable/connector are properly connected to your phone (and assuming there aren't other confounding issues) you should see a lot of information regarding your phone.

That helped me with my wife's previous phone (Moto One 5g Ace kiev xt2113-2), though I haven't yet rooted it either; it appears to require some finesse as well.

If you can dump your phone-data on your screen as described, you may copy/paste & post it here, and I'm sure somebody can give you further advice.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] damnthefall:
How did you fastboot restore without wiping? I have my stock rom dowloaded with LMSA, but in the past I have never been able to restore stock without wiping. I'm looking forward to learning something new and shiny lol
[Moto G Stylus 5G] Kireej:
RSA tool asks now if you want to wipe userdata or not.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] Kireej:
As far as I know spectrum is the retus firmware but just with the spectrum splash screen at startup. So if you don't want it to say spectrum just flash retus.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] Kireej:
Has anyone a guide to flashing stock android GSI on the newer Motorola's?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] damnthefall:
Just figured that out, tried to use the xml to bat converter, but forgot to check it first and ended up unbootable. Used RSA and saw the keep userdata, but then the rescue failed at 68% after it sent the final super sparse image, tried again, same thing. Tried a 3rd time but told it to wipe my data, it failed at 76% so I unplugged it, and after 23 minutes on the Moto boot logo I booted A14 with all my data 🥸
[Moto G Stylus 5G] potatodev:
Idk if anyone posted this but got mine rooted with magisk,n this.

took some tinkering but seems to work with root n I bootlooped n came back fine so ya, um any app recommendations it's been forever since I have been rooted and I'm on android 14
[Moto G Stylus 5G] potatodev:
I managed to root the device with this build number U1TGNS34.42-86-3-1 using magisk and loading the boot file through the adb commands. I don't remember my exact steps but i def found this video on YouTube showing some basic steps. And on a side note for any one thing to get the tether working for metro I'm on the unlimited high speed and somehow found a way to finally get it working. I use vpn hotspot with 1.1.1.1 vpn I also used to editor and a few other programs not exactly sure what tweaks led to this working but those were the starting points. I also use vpnhotspot with a static IP and repeater mode and have been getting a great connection, you will def have to tweak and plug n play to get the best results but this was what I got working as of right now.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] xin123:
does this phone have wifi direct for dual android auto hotspot sharing? thx
[Moto G Stylus 5G] potatodev:
I believe it does have both I use to use wifi direct for hotspot just not sure about the duel android
[Moto G Stylus 5G] n6bhu:
Congratulations on the successful root! The Stylus does have a far higher success rate for root than my Moto G 5G (2023/pnang), which has yet to be rooted; I need to do more research before I move ahead with that one. (And the Moto G 5G 2024/"fogo" is out now -- I bought one for my wife recently and traded it for her old "kiev" One 5G Ace -- for which I'll re-draft my notes into humanly-readable form and post here soon.)

This is a good discussion to keep alive in the wake of some recent changes in the adventures of rooting phones, and the Google exodus continues gradually and quietly. Magisk, as one example of changes in root technique now recommends that one avoid flashing the ZIP-file through TWRP to install it; the preferred method now is to patch the boot.img file. This is one of several more recent changes for which were one not to use some appreciable caution it can take all the fun out of it.☮
[Moto G Stylus 5G] eriklion:
Have a look at the service and flash xmls. they contain commands for fastboot.

eg: fastboot flash boot nameofboot.img

The service xml does not include directives to wipe userdata

You might look into motorola xml to bat

You might want to run the commands it generates manually as it's not made for a/b devices you'll have to replace things like, example dspa with dsp_a to make things work. pay attention to the terminal when you run the generated batch file to see which partitions fail to flash and then flash those yourself.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] n6bhu:
Well, okay then... just checking-in -- I've rooted my Moto G 5G (2023/pnang/2313-6) using Magisk, still have the stock ROM; haven't found anything current for it -- neither TWRP nor LineageOS, et al.

I bought my wife a phone just like mine (actually, a 2024 model with the codename "fogo") and traded it to her for her old Moto One 5G Ace (kiev) which I rooted a few days before I rooted my G 5G (pnang). Some recent changes in rooting procedures require one to be more cautious and do more research beforehand.

I can write-up the steps I've taken for successful rooting if anybody needs specific details; I've taken pretty detailed notes along the way. The most important aspects to the rooting of these phones is that more care/caution is required so as to prevent serious disappointment(s).

I am currently characterizing both phones, while doing more homework on the available ROMs (also avoiding changing ROMs just for the sake of changing ROMs). And it's nice to have full ownership of my phone(s) again.

Meanwhile, I'm sticking around here and keeping this discussion open for those who at least want root. (The ROMs from hereon are anybody's guess.) Cheers...☮
[Moto G Stylus 5G] careloads:
I still have hopes to flash a clean rom here so thanks for hanging in. Have you compiled an updated step by step for root yet?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] Metalor696:
Hey guys, just wondering if I can get a bit of help please? I have the Moto G 2023 (XT23136) that I got while I was holidaying in the US earlier in the year as my LG wouldn't connect to mobile network.

I'm in New Zealand and trying to get the SIM unlocked but can't contact T Mobile cos my account wont set up so I can't message them.

Does anyone know hot to get the network/SIM unlocked? I've managed to unlock the bootloader and root it, I even installed the RETUS rom (for the PENANG codename) but it still says T Mobile and the carrier is still locked.

Even better would be a custom ROM but it looks like there's nothing for this model unfortnately.

Hoping someone knows how to get passed the carrier lock. Thanks!
[Moto G Stylus 5G] n6bhu:
Yes, we're still waiting for somebody with extra time on their hands to modify a ROM for this phone (pnang/xt2313-6). Sooner or later... this model's still fairly new, apparently (and there's a newer model out now -- fogo/xt2417-1).

I've read about various workarounds for the carrier-locks but haven't tried any of them; I always buy unlocked phones from the get go because that's one less concern/hurdle.

Wish I knew more about this sort of thing; I can only suggest to continue searching the internet for a possible solution, and somebody may post information here in the meantime that you may find useful.

You probably have viewed these links already, but I'll post them just in case:

[Moto G Stylus 5G] Metalor696:
Thanks mate! Yep seen those links, unfortunately it's proving difficult to get hold of them outside of the US. I'll keep trying though.

Regarding ROM availability, I'm a software dev but have no idea where to start with building ROMs but I could potentially help
[Moto G Stylus 5G] webhook:
Nearly all GSIs work for the Motorola G 5G (even the Motorola G Stylus)...

However it would be very helpful to use a ROM that can support the phone instead of using a universal GSI which can cause issues. :)
[Moto G Stylus 5G] careloads:
Thanks again for the work!
[Moto G Stylus 5G] Recidl:
I've tested for this phone (painfully), the Boost Mobile variant (Both LineageOS and Evolution X Rooted), and overall there were lukewarm results.

Performance wise, LineageOS wins however Evolution X is still good, but still better than OEM.

Usability wise, Evolution X wins as it comes with GApps and other optimisations.

I would rather go with Evolution X, however I migrated back to the OEM Rom as SafetyNET (Downloading from Playstore still works) and Mobile Data are disabled or tripped. SMS or MMS does not work with Lineage as far as I got to, but on Evolution it does with a few APN modifications (using magisk modules).

You CAN'T edit APN settings as far as I could just on the settings app, I used Magisk Modules however it still wasn't as useful.

Overall if you want to use a GSI and are able to sacrifice certification (safetynet) and mobile data go for Evolution X

If you're willing to sacrifice that ontop of GApps, go for Lineage.

Could either of these be a daily driver? Probably, but you cant go on banking apps, text on snapchat or similar apps, and anything that is dependent on safetynet.

DO NOT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT!

This can be different for literally anyone, but probably similar results.

Bugs I noticed:

Evolution X - Volume Slider doesnt work, Mobile Data does work, SafetyNet is tripped, No certification in Playstore

LineageOS - Brightness doesnt work (When I tested in DSU Loader, but flashed I believe is fixed), Mobile Data and probably Service (needs tinkering), Inability to install GApps (That I've tried), and most likely same bugs that Evolution X has.

Where to download: GSI Library

What I would recommend:

Root the OEM Rom using Magisk by patching the Boot.IMG, It is way more better than these roms and you dont sacrifice anything. I've installed Pixelify and similar modules that enhanced the phone, and additionally with its performance greatly improved.

Other stuff I want to clarify:

For me, the TWRP from DragonFire appears to boot and is responsive to hardware buttons, however the touchscreen does not work for me.

Let me know and give me updates if there are available Roms or TWRP images for this phone, much appreciated in regards!! <33

[Google Pixel Watch 2] Ducter:
I own a construction company and as such I drive a dump truck some days, today I noticed my watch was counting steps as I drove down the road. The watch went from about 400 steps when I left home to over 1300 when I arrived at the job site. Anyone else noticed this? I mean, the watch should understand I'm not walking at 50-60mph and I find that pretty unacceptable. Had I purchased this, I'd return it. Has anyone else experienced this?
[Google Pixel Watch 2] CHH2:
That's the "beauty" of FitBit step counting. It'll count a lot of stuff as steps that aren't. It's been like that with FitBit forever. (I don't think the GPS and step counter talk to each other.) Since my employer ties our insurance premiums to a bogus program with questionable metrics, a lot of us take advantage of FitBit's propensity to overcount.
[Google Pixel Watch 2] Ducter:
Thanks for the reply and confirmation. This is my first "smart" watch and I guess my expectations were greater than reality. Pretty poor execution in my opinion.
[Google Pixel Watch 2] CHH2:
I'm pretty sure FitBit relies on an accelerometer to count steps and has no way to tell what is actually a step or miscellaneous hand movement. So they probably just pick a certain threshold and go with it.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Gene-:
I held out on android 11 for a long time due to there not being updates for gravitybox but I finally gave in and updated all the way to 13 (and lineageOS) recently.

It looks like titanium backup isn't working properly anymore. I dug around a bit and found kind of a workaround where you can backup and restore a broken restore from Titanium Backup using Swift Backup and you keep your data but I can't get my SMS backups to work. I figure my best bet is probably to restore an old version of android where titanium backup's sms restore still worked and try creating backups using multiple programs and see if any of them can restore to android 13.

You'd think there would be a way to convert the titanium backup sms backup to another format but I didn't see it after digging a bit.
[OnePlus 11] Xulon:
I followed previously like i did this time the steps in https://xdaforums.com/t/proper-cph2451-root-and-update-instructions.4556839/ Post 1.

However now i can't get KernelSU to give Superuser access to anything Magisk (delta) or (canary) or anything else. However it shows that KernelSU is working correctly.

I am able to boot into the image obtained through KernelSU website but it doesn't provide SuperUser priveleges. Only receiving error messages that it cannot provide root access.

On a secondary note: does the safetynet fix still work or or do we need now use the play integrity fix in order to have google wallet work with magisk.

This is regarding a Oneplus 11 CPH2451.

Thanik you for your assistance.
[OnePlus 11] shootind5nukes:
Once you boot the kernelsu image did you use the kernelsu app to give magisk superuser privileges? After that then you use magisk to do a direct install. Can you confirm you have tried these steps?
[OnePlus 11] Xulon:
yes i have read these steps and had it previously working fine. Until just after the September security updates.

In regards to the KernelSU step it will not give root privileges to MagiskSU or anything else only returning an error message that it cannot provide the privileges.
[OnePlus 11] shootind5nukes:
That does suck. You can always just let magisk patch init_boot.img.
[OnePlus 11] Xulon:
My only concern with this is will i have a way to return to non-root if i was to attempt this if I had to since the CPH 2451 is the device that only has partial images available to it.

Its really wierd that this is happening with the device as well as it worked well before with root and then all of a sudden it stopped working.

Thank you for your assistance.
[OnePlus 11] shootind5nukes:
Once you use payload dumper or edl to pull init_boot just save the stock image. All I do is just flash the stock image before I update. Takes 5 minutes.
[OnePlus 11] Xulon:
Can you give me some instructions to try and do this on the device it would be greatly appreciated.

Also with every new update do i need to do this?

Thank you
[OnePlus 11] Xulon:
I just found out what my issue was the KernelSU I was using was an old version after looking over every thing i was doing after installing the latest KernelSU I was able to get things to work properly.

Are you able to give any advice regarding the Safetynetfix if it still works or should I transition to Play Integrity Fix for things to work correctly?

thank you for all the assistance!
[OnePlus 11] surajpai524:
Play Integrity Fix works fine. I switched months back.

Alright thanks.

Hey there, so i've recently bought a bricked Nexus 5x.

I really need the phone, so i've been trying to fix it for a week now.

Phone boots into fastboot fine, boots into recovery when cold and gets past the Google logo when ice cold.

I've got the phone to boot just once, but i couldnt turn on OEM Unlock because the dude had put a password in place

Any advice??
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junglism93:
Hi,

That brought back some memories about booting when ice cold 👍

It's been a long time since I played with a 5x but I'd say you will need the password off the previous owner to bypass the OEM lock.

If it has twrp installed you could bypass/reset the pin by deleting the lockkeeper.db files if I remember correctly.

Run a search in the 5x forum for BLOD and it may throw up some more relevant info as it was a hot topic at the time.

Hope you get it solved either way, all the best..
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5] JamesChicagoIL:
The struggle to find the perfect one is real, right? I've been eyeing a few popular brands: DBrand, Spigen, Pitaka, and Thinborne and Benks. Each has its own perks, but which one suits your style and phone the best?

DBrand's slick skins and customization options have drawn attention

View attachment 6031018

while Spigen’s robust protection is hard to ignore

Pitaka, Thinborne stands out with its aramid fiber,

View attachment 6031020 View attachment 6031021

But Thinborne and Benks promise a slim design with solid quality.

View attachment 6031022

Anyone else find it frustrating when shipping costs make a good deal not so great? It's a question that often gets overlooked. Do you have insights on which brand offers the best shipping rates or deals?

I just heard that

Thinborne

is giving away free cases. They claim to provide slim yet protective cases. Who tried this already? Is this legit?

So, I’m on the hunt for a slim-ass case that doesn’t compromise protection. I need your thoughts! Which of these brands do you recommend? What makes them stand out? Are there any differences that sway your decision?

Your insights and suggestions would be greatly appreciated! No one wants to waste money for trash cases lol
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5] doggydog2:
I exclusively use ultra thin cases (not those ugly expensive carbone ones, but super cheap from Aliexpress e.g. brand X-Level), but in case of Z Flip no case is the best case. A 2$ foil is enough. Frame is very strong, display is protected, there's no point to make the phone ugly. All cases are indeed ugly and bulky.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5] starche_old:
do you care to share a link to AliExpress to take a look?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5] doggydog2:
1$ foil, absorbed 100% in 1.5day bubble-free (and lasts for couple of years usually), beautifully invisible, and completely covering the back:

https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005005860666677.html

this one is for example covering only the screen which I don't like 1) get scratches around screen 2) bump will be visible 3) glass never outlasts foil:

https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005005790878344.html

regarding cases, the ultra thin won't exist for this model as it can't hold. only disgusting bulky cases, literally doubling the width of the sexy phone 🤮, exist as far as i know.

the frame is magic, scratch proof, but i will further reinforce it with ultra thin, invisible 1$ side foil:

✔ looks same = sexy
