[Q] TWRP Question? - Moto X Q&A

I am on TWRP 2.6.3.1, I have a unlocked bootloader (from chinaman) I currently have eclipse installed on my phone. I wanted to go to Kripton, i was wondering if b4 I flash the rom, I format in twrp then abd push the rom to storage then flash? or will that not work. Thats how i flashed on my dna and tr700. Ne help would be great.
thanks

Simply read the Krypton Install instructions....probably in post number one of the thread. ?

Just download the ROM on your phone, reboot to recovery, wipe, don't worry with gapps krypton comes with them. Flash the zip and enjoy the great ROM.

Phone unable to flash custom rom ! help

After unlocked bootloader i installed twrp for installing for custom rom.
I follow all steps of flashing custom rom , gapps n all that from rom threads ,even by watching tutorial , it flashed properly showing in recovery ..but when i reboot to system phone stuck on mi logo.
i tried rom like Rr, dotos, coltos, lineage. But getting nothing.
Help me !!
Current using redmi 4x betarom
If you had followed the instructions on the XDA threads like you say then you must've been able to have a successful flash.
For flashing custom ROM:
1)Unlock Bootloader
2)Flash TWRP
3)Copy your downloaded ROM and Gapps zip to Internal storage OR SD card.
4)Boot into TWRP
5)Wipe System+Data+Cache+Dalvik
6)Flash ROM zip first and then Gapps secondly.
7)Wipe Cache+Dalvik.
8)Reboot.
If you followed these instructions in the exact same order and flashed a compatible ROM for your phone you shouldn't have any trouble in booting the ROM.
Next time try this:
Unlock bl
Boot into twrp
Format data
Restart and boot into twrp again by volume plus volume up. Format data again.
Now go to twrp home-settings-advanced-fix boot/disable verification and wait for few seconds.
Now unmount and mount data partition. Transfer rom zip file to internal memory by pc and install it. Its bound to work.
Check if system is mounted from TWRP recovery if not then enable it.
Also check if TWRP recovery is on latest version or not.(do backup everything if there is need of updating TWRP recovery)
I suggest you to use the pixel experience rom, it doesn't need gapps, just flash one zip file of the room itself

I'm using this and it's super fine

How to install custom ROM?

Hi guys. I have an unrooted phone and got the recent official Oreo update (32 bit) from Moto. My phone is the made in india version. I want to install Pixel Experience [AOSP][r26] rom. What are the steps I need to follow? Do I have to root the device first? What are some issues that may arise? I heard there's a problem with kernel where device runs at 1.4 GHz instead of 2 GHz.

Hello, first thing you need to do is flash a custom recovery, I highly recommend TWRP for you device, you can find here at Moto g5s plus XDA forum in kernel and custom posts. After you flash the custom recovery you flash magisk (root) through TWRP. At the same posts you can search and find the correct custom Rom for your device, or search on Google for pixel experience website and download the rom from there. Before you flash the rom make a full backup of your phone (system partitions, etc...) with TWRP. I recommend use a SD card to store the rom to flash. There is a lot of risks, but if you do everything that the rom tutorial says I doubt that something bad is going to happen. If you get stuck at TWRP or at boot loop you can flash the original Rom for you device through fastboot and fastboot mode.
What I always do
1 flash twrp
2 reboot for twrp and wipe, advanced wipe, wipe system, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik-cache
3 flash rom, flash gapps, flash magisk

Their is only one way to recover your phone just follow this step
1. Flash stock firmware(stock rom) vie fastboot using MI Flasher
this is bring back you phone and if you want to install custom rom then follow this
1. boot twrp
2. wipe all the data from slot A and B partition(internal storage as per you choice )
3. boot to slot B and copy past the custom rom file in slot B
4. flash that rom and boot to slot B and then flash Gaaps and other staff you want
5. reboot and enjoy.
NOTE: changing the slot require reboot twrp in simple words every time you change the slot you have to reboot the phone and boot again to twrp..
i hope this will work for you..:good:
If you don't have stock flash file then try from step 2. see whether it will work or not otherwise follow from beginning.
facing the same issue
i tried the same and getting the same error. even the twrp3.2.3.0 never worked while tried to flash that one more than 20 times, after flashing 3.2.3.0 my phone either boots normally or it gets completely power off. and if i try to boot into recovery using volume keys and power key , it boots in stock recovery. please help
Mine its ok now... i don´t know whats happen but suddenly it flash withou any problem.
See if it helps...
Make sure you're running a proper working Recovery
Flashing instructions:
Dirty flash (assuming you have rom on slot A):
1. Download all required files and place them to internal memory (ROM, twrp installer, gapps, magisk, ..)
2. Boot twrp to slot B and flash ROM and twrp installer
3. Reboot twrp to slot A and flash gapps (optional magisk)
4. Now reboot to system
Clean flash (assuming you have rom on slot A):
1. Download all required files and place them to internal memory (ROM, twrp installer, gapps, magisk, ..)
2. Boot twrp to A slot and wipe everything except for internal
3. Reboot twrp to B slot and flash ROM and twrp installer
4. Reboot twrp to slot A and flash gapps (optional magisk)
5. Now reboot to system
If you are coming from stock:
1. Download latest TWRP installer and image
2. Open cmd and type fastboot boot twrp.img (change twrp to its actual name)
3. You should be on slot A in twrp, if not change it and reboot to bootloader and repeat step 2.
4. Format data
5. Now follow instruction for clean flash

I have this issue and none of the steps worked.
I got my device 2 days back and it was in Oreo. I tried to update to pie but the update keep failing. I unlocked the phone and flash latest official fastboot rom using mi_flash and installed magisk using this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/unlock-bootloader-n-root-magisk-easy-t3856800
Everything went smooth.
Today I tried to go further and instal PE rom using this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-custom-roms-stuff-t3876375
Everything goes smooth until I boot to TWRP and try to flash the rom. It gave the error posted by OP. I have tried the following things since:
1. Try another two roms, same issue
2. Flash stock Pie using mi_flash then temp boot to TWRP latest version from 'a' partition, wipe everything, then boot from 'b' partition, wipe everything, try to flash. Same issue.
3. Install TWRP (it installed without any issue), reboot to installed TWRP, flash rom, same issue.
4. Try to flash with 'a' as active. Same issue.
5. All other possible combos (i think) of the above. In all cases everything goes as expected until I try to flash the rom.
Currently I have flashed the factory image back. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

MI 9 Bricked

First of all, i fu**ed up.
So, I was on MIUI.EU 9.8.22 running Android Q.
I tried to install Syberia Rom.
Full Wipe, flashed image vendor, rom, gapps and then magisk.
Rebooted to system. Didn't work, so I went to recovery mode to fix it. It was everything encrypted so I couldn't find a way to go back to miui.eu or install another rom.
I tried to install a twrp that supports encryption via fastboot.
Now I can't go anywhere but fastboot. Any ideas?
Forgot to say, BL is Unlocked
Thanks in advance
