Can I flash it with other recovery than TWRP :/. Maybe it sounds weird but I don't bealive TWRP and prefer CWM
PS. I have 4.4.2 hope it don't brick my phone :X
Question. I already have 5.0.2. Can I just flash the recovery and flash SuperSU to get root access? If yes, where can I find the recovery?
What if i install this in a 6902?
Will this wipe my other files?
Does this wipe other files on my phone or does it just install like a normal update?
Can someone upload Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.9-RELEASE.installer here, please?

if you are with 4.4.4 rooted and have a recovery you only need to clear cache before and after install . Update super su from playstore after install.
Root in official firmware ?
Hi, How i can root official firmware (.ftf) lolilpop for c6902 ?
Is there a method for lollipop yet? I flashed a prerooted rom but didn't flash the recovery and just rebooted.
Hi!
Can I flash Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.9-RELEASE.flashable right after flashing this Rom?
Hi, i'm having 4.4, 14.4.A.0.157. Rooted with dual recovery.
Based on my understanding, I just need to flash with pre-root.zip and NUTs Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.10-RELEASE.installer.zip. and only need to clear cache before and after install. (As in clear it from recover mode?) Update super su from playstore after install.
Then the phone consider as rooted?
I read through the whole thread and hope someone can clarify the step for me. Thank you.

I had this problem on KitKat, I let my phone plugged in while I restarted my PC and it went away.

Something you might want to look into is if you have some sort of Android Emulator on your PC (such as BlueStacks). If so, just terminate the process in the Task Manager and it should work.
I did a full wipe (data, system, cache, dalvik, etc), install the ROM, but not the recovery (i forgot), now I have a bootloop and does not like leaving, someone help me please?
having problems with this rom .... everything is working fine but i have random reboots...maybe 2 times daily...
anyone else have the same issue?

I don't think there is anyway to do that which is why signed software is generally trust-able.

Yes, however right now I'm just doing a highly customized, de-bloated, de-amazon'd, pre-rooted, stock based rom. I don't know if anyone is working on AOSP or CM based roms at the moment.

That sounds really great. I tried to make a deblooated rom, but I broke the settings application by accident. I guess I'll just wait until someone else releases theirs... :/
SD, I am trying to install TWRP as per the video. For some reason, my files look different then your and I am running Win 10. Any advice? Thanks much.
PS: When I get to the command prompt,, mine just opens up to my system, not the ADB folder....
EDIT: Ok, got it to go, don't know how, but it worked. Anyone else notice the device runs a little sluggish after this? Thanks!
hey since this is running lollipop amazon os. cany you guys make a costom rom like the hdx developers do that can be booted without unlocking the bootloader. they use safestrap which is like twrp but for locked bootloaders and install custom roms. they arnt fully custom they have amazon aspects that let it boot with the locked bootloader but it is almost fully custom the hdx has a nexus rom and a cm11 rom they made for it.

Not as easily as it they were installed.
Use a root file manager, to delete or rename or move.
Use titanium backup pro or similar app, to freeze google apps
you freeze all google apps, and see if performance improved, them unfreeze google apps one at a time to see which ones are causing issues.
Hi guys. I got this device today and am very happy with it.
I'm used to rooting my devices, so I want to root this one too and was hoping you could help me a bit.
I have the Oreo update installed and I see there are some TWRP that work with oreo. What is the best one to use with stock rom? I only want to root so I can install adaway and lucky patcher. Also, if an update comes later this year, like android P or something, can I switch back to the stock recovery, install it and then switch to TWRP again?
So, basically, where can I download stock recovery for Oreo, what TWRP should I use?
Thank you very much

I'll add #geek to the post
I am pretty sure you need TWRP. Here is a good guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-plus/development/magisk-p10-p10plus-t3752482
I do not know how to update with root. I am afraid it involves reinstalling the original recovery and a factory reset.
Unlocking the bootloader is currently a bit of a hassle since the unlock webpage is down. You'll have to contact Huawei Customer Service to get the code.
So I have a Moto E5 Plus (hannah) XT1924-8
and I'm in a jam.
I'm new to moto phones I just moved over to this phone 4 days ago from my HTC M9 yeah I have been a HTC guy for a long time.
My stock rom is fubar, when it boots up I get that encrypt storage thing & reset phone etc.... (no password box) but reset phone is not fixing it.
The boot loader is unlocked
& my twrp is on twrp-3.2.3-0-hannah.img got it from twrp.me
So my problem is that I want to re-flash my stock rom but "Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant" witch did worked 4 times this week but now does not want to work anymore.
It comes back at me with "this device is not supported" & that is not true.
So Now I can't get back to stock & I have not been able to get any custom rom to work me as well.
So my ?s to all of you:
Is there some kind of fix for the "Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant"?
and if not then where do I get a copy of the stock rom & some info on how I should go about installing it
and yes I have the newest adb all installed & I think I have the right driver installed "Motorola_Mobile_Drivers_64bit_v6.4.0.msi" Motorola ADB Interface 7/7/2013 v2.0.2.0
Any help will be much appreciated
Also is the phone default encryption getting in the way of me installing Lineage 15.1 or Bootleggers ??
When ever I try to installing a custom rom I get the dreaded 'To Start Android, Enter Password'
also in twrp /data does not mount when ever I booted into twrp, I had to change the format from ext4 to exfat & then change it back to ext4, from that point on it mounts no problem.
My HTC m9 phone did not have encryption on so I'm not use to working around it.
Well I'm going to return this thing & stay with my HTC m9 with only a 10% working battery.
It seems that no one is going to help me.??
there might be reasons why people wouldn't respond
1. this board isn't active like you'd expect it to be
2. there's already threads out there to save yourself from this
anyway, on twrp, you'd need to FORMAT data to have it de-encrypted... and you'd need to flash a certain boot image that prevents it from auto-encrypting, which is in one of the threads. you'd also never would want to use the smart assistant, because as you can see, it won't work. i don't know if there's a stock rom for your variant, so i can't really link you to yours, but getting it from the moto assistant isn't ideal, it's better to get it from here on the forums or something.
so, in order to install a custom rom, flash the boot.img that doesn't have encrypt, and then flash the gsi system image, and then flash magisk in twrp.
There should already be a thread with the xt1924-8 stock firmware in here somewhere just gotta search. If not I'd suggest trying to re-flash the stock recovery and boot images if you have those and then just try to do a recovery from within.
well I already returned it.
I did read many many many guides on here & on other websites before asking for help.
most of them did not say anything about the book.img to turn off the auto-encrypting.
again I never had to work around auto-encrypt before.
Also @wihzard
I did look for a stock rom for (hannah) XT1924-8 but did not find it.
anyways I returned it & now I'm looking for a unused M9 to replace my old one,
I will end up putting LineageOS 16.0 on it.
Thanks for replying
my moto e5 plus is bricked im pretty sure ...any help anyone?

I need help as well haven't had much time to get on here and try to get help. I have the XT1924-7 varriant. I had discovered a hidden network that was placed on there by an ex to track me. So I factory reset I had AEX pie installed on it. Come to find out factory reset didn't even get ride of had to follow some extra steps to erase partitions that weren't wiped during the reset with TWRP. So my problem is once booted and going through setup process these pop up start popping up(screen shots below)the first is the modem keeps stopping. I get that about 25 times of hitting ok then I get one last one stating internal error need to factory reset. IVE DONE THAT COMPLETELY DELETED IT ALL RESTORED ALL. I've flashed NON-HLOS alone withe the erase modem 1&2. And still I've done diffent methods of trying to restore and get nowhere. Any help would be appreciated
Phone: Xiaomi Mi 9T /K20 Pro
Current Rom: Miui Global 12.5.1
Wanted Rom: Stock google/pixel with all google apps, but without the awful miui interface
Evening everyone.
I would be very grateful if some kind soul can assist me. I'm trying to replace the standard and hated miui rom with Evolution X (Raphael) rom or any other recommend rom. So far I've successfully managed to connect the phone, setup usb drivers and unlocked the phone as well as used fastboot to flash twrp-3.7.0_9-0-raphael.img.
So far so good, but here's the questions I have or issues I'm having:-
Even though I have removed all screenlocks, the phone files on twrp are still showing as decrypted. I've also deliberately put on a screenlock and then booted to twrp, but I get no messages or request to enter a password. FYI, if I go to Settings>Privacy, the phone does state that it's encrypted.. Other than flashing twrp-3.7.0_9-0-raphael.img, I have also flashed many other versions of twrp, but they all do the same thing, i.e. no mention of any screenlock or decryption.
Although I can flash twrp, if I reboot, it reverts back to miui stock recovery. I then have to reflash twrp image to get back in. Is there a way to keep it installed permanently?
I'm also confused whether I need to root the phone. Is this compulsory and if not, and is it worth it?
Lastly my main goal is to install a rom without the rubbish miui. I still want all google apps, camera, nfc, and everything else to work, but with so many custom roms available, it's getting confusing. Can you please recommend one that is new, popular and has all the standard google apps/rom and stuff?
Thanks in advance.
Apologies - Just BUMPING this up as no reply.

It's a version of orangefox twrp with a fix to support android 13 encryption. Guides on how and what to install are usually provided by the ROMs developers, since each ROM requires different software and steps. I don't think anybody can really recommend you a specific custom ROM, since most of them have their quirks and bugs, but I tried both EvolutionX and VoltageOS and both were running fine on my device (both android 13), now I'm running lineageos 20 unofficial and it runs fine too.
I see you want to install EvolutionX, and you will find all info on their thread, and should ask support for that specific ROM on that thread.
Sorry @vito_metallica, when I was asking for a guide or link, is was not for how to install a ROM, but how to install the orangefox twrp. Last thing I want to do is to brick the phone, lol.

Extract the zip and there is a recovery.img file inside. Maybe try it before actually flashing it (fastboot boot recovery.img)
And finally flash with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
EDIT:
Just wanna say, thanks so much @vito_metallica
Believe it or not, I've now edited this same post 5-6 times, because each time there was an issue, I'd edit the post again and again, lol.
Good news! I've managed to successfully install the EvolutionX rom.
I've had a play around and its a brilliant rom. Just a few issues which I hope I can iron out:-
The Android System WebView won't update - I've tried to uninstall, clear cache/data etc, but it still won't work
Is there a way to remove, relocate or hide the bottom Google Search Bar? - I never tend to use it as I find it annoying, so I would prefer to totally remove it if possible.
Thanks again

- Did you also clear cache and storage of Play store? If nothing works you could still install updates manually via apkmirror or you could install Chrome and use that as system WebView ( you can switch in dev settings ) or you could use Bromite system WebView ( search on GitHub for info about installation)
- If there isn't an option to remove the search bar you could still switch to a different launcher like lawnchair or Nova Launcher ( which I personally prefer), but maybe you should ask the EvolutionX devs first, since maybe the stock launcher has features built in that you would lose if using a custom one.

I always thought by clearing the cache/storage , it would cause major issues, like apps stop working. Am I actually safe to do this without any ill-effect? Will it still remember that I'm logged in and what apps I've already downloaded/updated?
Regarding the bottom google search bar - I think I read somewhere this is built-in and it can't be removed without causing major issues. I guess I'll just have to live with it.
The other issue I've found with this rom is that after disabling gestures and re-enabling the 3 navigation buttons (which I prefer), they are the wrong-way round, i.e. I prefer the back button to be on the right-hand side. So if you know any way of fixing this then please let me know.
I'll post these questions on the dev's chat too.
Thanks for all your help and advice.
