Noob needs assistance - Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers

Ok, so let me start this off by saying I feel kind of dumb right now. I am really new to all this.
I bought a motog5s, and rooted it with super su.
I tried to add a different OS rom (several actually).
I ended up messing up somehow and deleting my backup of the stock rom which I nandroid saved on twrp-3.1.1-sanders.img
I now have a phone with no Operating Sytem. I had twrp-3.1.1-sanders.img and tried to upgrade to twrp-sanders-r2.img which worked but, deleted my backup of stock rom install when i deleted the internal storage like a moron, also didn't help me install a rom w/o error messages so then I upgraded to twrp-sanders-r16.img, which worked also. But now I get error 7 every time I try to install any rom.
Right now my phone has just twrp-sanders-r16.img and no operating system.
How do I resolve the error 7 and error 255(i was getting earlier but now just error 7), and install an operating system? I wanted to get pixel experience working which was what got me all turned around in the first place. I also tried Cosmic, Arrow, AOSPext all of which where in the XDA roms forum(for Moto G5S, Sanders) but kept getting error 255 then I tried to do a fix (deleted assert command from a file in the rom with text editor, but kept saying my ZIP files weren't the proper format, I have ubuntu linux on my computer...which should work) and it stopped giving error 255 and now gives error 7.
I have tried sidebooting, and also many different roms and all give errors. I also had lots of trouble with Open Gapps/larger files/Roms when trying to download on my cpu and then move/copy to my phone's internal storage so I don't know how to resolve that either.
I now want to get a solid rom OS on here ( that's noob friendly) and root with magisk of which i have DL'd 16.0 & Magisk Manager 5.8.3 (last stable release i think)
How do I fix this? Please help!
thank you very much for any help in advance.

First off make sure you have a Moto G5s Plus not the smaller variant. If it's a Plus, than fastboot flash this twrp recovery and try downloading a fresh ROM, gapps, and also Magisk. Flash those guys and you should be good.

Ok I flashed TWRP R20 and it's now on my phone.
I tried flashing Lineage OS, got error 7.
Tried flashing the version of Lineage OS where I deleted the assert code from the beginning of the Updater-Script (which was supposed to fix it.) Instead, I get an error saying it's an improperly formatted zip file.
What solution can I try for resolving this error 7? It happens with every single rom I try.

kinda' haven't rooted except for other ppl much in the past decade, but i just did this phone and from what i understand, first of all flashing magisk on top of supersu seems like a bad idea since they alter complely different directories. pretty sure you'd want to stick with one or the other unless you reverted to stock first. other than that, did you reformat your system partition on the first try? did you wipe before trying other roms?

stuck with same error.
stuck with exact same error 7, did you got any solution, plz send if any, thank you

I had a similar problem. While trying to flash liquid_remix ROM I kept getting error 7. I checked and saw that my system partition was not mounted in TWRP. After mounting it the ROM flashed fine.

[Q] TWRP errors while trying to flash CyanogenMod

I have been tearing my hair out for about a week with this problem. I'm sure the answer is here somewhere, but I'm a novice and I don't understand phone developer vocabulary. Hopefully someone can link me to a solution to my problem.
I have a Verizon LG G2 (VS980 4G) and I'm trying to install CyanogenMod on it. Here's the info from the software page in settings:
Android version 4.4.2
Baseband version VS98024A-M8974A-AAAANAZM-2.0.20046
Kernel version 3.4.0-perf [email protected]
Build number KOT49I.VS98024A
Software version VS98024A
I have followed these steps so far:
1. Rooted with towelroot
2. Installed SuperSU and BusyBox
3. Used AutoRec to install TWRP 2.7.0.0
4. Downloaded CM-10.2.0-vs980.zip to /sdcard/Download
When I boot into TWRP recovery and try to flash the zip from there, I get the following error message:
"assert failed: run_program("/system/bin/loki.sh") == 0
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/Download/cm-10.2.0-vs980.zip'
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/Download/cm-10.2.0-vs980.zip' "
And then when I try to reboot the system I get an error that shows the LG logo with the words "security error" underneath it, and the phone won't boot up. After that my only option is to do a factory hard reset, go back into TWRP and restore my backup.
When I bought the phone it was on Software version VS98027A, but I thought that might be the problem so I used the LG flash tool to download and flash the kdz file for VS98024A. This has not given me a new result, sadly.
I have read the install instructions on the CM page, but they describe an app called FreeGee, which I guess is supposed to install ClockworkMod. FreeGee says my phone isn't supported. CM's directions say if FreeGee doesn't work, I should use AutoRec, but they don't follow up with any TWRP-specific instructions. I have googled and youtubed for several days, but everything I find shows directions on how to root and install recovery, yet nothing on how to deal with this particular error message. Whenever I do find a thread that seems like it might be helpful, I can't understand the technical jargon involved.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

Here's my advice, go back to stock again,the LG flash tool. When that completes, use Freedom Tools (its in Development) and use ioroot25 (link is in the aforementioned thread) to root device. Then use Freedom Tool to install twrp. I've used it many times and never had a problem. Re-download cm rom (perhaps bad download) and flash in twrp. I would suggest using a more current twrp (start with 2.7, DL newest twrp, flash, reboot recovery) then flash cm. Let me know how it goes!
Thanks for your help. I followed the ioroot and freedom tool steps no problem, but I don't know how to update twrp. The g2 isn't listed as a supported device on their website or in the twrp manager app. I searched the forum and found a thread about updating it, but every time I try to download the files, I get a message that says the download failed.
I downloaded a fresh copy of cyanogenmod and tried to flash with twrp2.7, but I got the same error message from my original post.

Huh, ok, well, first off here's the thread for twrp, make sure and flash the correct one for our device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2898705
Second, have you tried a different rom? I remember reading that jackpotcalvin's is the cm to use. Try his or a completely different one, just make sure and follow the op (some require different radios, just follow the op). But I would definitely upgrade twrp before trying anything else.

Okay, so thanks to the link you gave me, I have succeeded in updating TWRP to version 2.8.5.1. I tried once again to flash cm 10.2, with more error messages. Specifically, the error says:
assert failed: run_program("/system/bin/loki.sh") == 0
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/Download/cm-10.2.0-vs980.zip' (that line was in red text)
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/Download/cm-10.2.0-vs980.zip'
I chose that rom because it is the only one listed as stable on the CM page for the G2. This time it was a fresh download. After that failed, I looked up JackpotClavin and found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702958
But it might as well be written in Greek because I don't understand much of it at all. I don't think I'd be comfortable doing all the command line stuff without a video tutorial or a more layman-friendly set of directions. So I didn't try that one.
Then I just started browsing the Development forum for a rom with easy install directions and found this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g2/development/rom-beanstalk-build-5-0015-t3001584
I followed the instructions and flashed it successfully, booted up successfully, and then I was bombarded with a never-ending series of popups that said Unfortunately, Google Play Services had stopped. So that Rom was unusable, but at least now I know that it is possible to flash a rom of some kind. I don't have my heart dead-set on CM, I just know that it's very popular and so I had hopes that it would be more stable than most. All I need is a stable rom that has working radios and the ability to use the native USB tether function without having to pay Big Red an extra fee for the privilege.
I have restored to stock 24A with TWRP 2.8.5.1. Any more pointers?
Thanks again for all your help. I can tell I'm making progress, just not sure how close I am to the light at the end of the tunnel.

Dude, I'm sorry for not reading closer to begin with, but ya, you're trying to flash a JB rom with a KK recovery. 2.7 and up are for kk only. I'm so sorry...
Did you flash a gapps zip with Beanstalk? Did you do a completely clean install?
If you still want to flash a 10.2 cm you're going to have to find the appropriate recovery, and there I'm of no use since I entered this phone on kk and don't know anything about its jb history. Also don't know about the USB tether part either (I don't use it) so you're probably going to have to do some searching, flashing, and experimentation.
But bright side is we've figured out why you couldn't flash the cm rom. Either stay on kk or above, or start scrolling through the dev section looking for jb recovery...
SUCCESS!
Last night I read a bit deeper into the CM11/12 thread and found a more noob-friendly breakdown of the directions on pages 4-6. I worked up my courage to dive into adb and it turned out to be easier than it looked. Another failed flash on the CM10.2 ROM left little doubt that the rom had to be the problem, and your last reply confirmed it. I went back to the CyanogenMod download page and grabbed a zip of CM11 and now I'm up and running!
Thank you so much again. I sent a donation to JackpotClavin, and I'd like to do so for you as well, if I could. I don't see a PayPal link in your signature, though.

K3 Note: Marshmallow update cannot be installed on TWRP 2.7.8.0

Hi there,
we have this phone and manually rooted and flashed it. Now it runs on TWRP 2.7.8.0.
Since a few days Marshmallow OTA is shown but cannot be installed after download: Error "This package is for K50a40; this is a K3Note".
Nothing worked so far trying to update it. I tried using this method but also does not work out since I cannot get into original Recovery (pushing all 3 buttons as mentioned in this thread to choose language does not work).
Can anybody tell me how I may install this upgrade? I already downloaded the OTA file and stored it as update.zip on the phone. With TWRP updating will not work out. I only managed to get into normal recovery once but could not use it due to being in chinese only.
Any help on how to install this update is highly appreciated!
Many thanks in advance!
Bye

I also had the same problem but mine said, Error "This package is for K50a40; this is a K50-T5".......
Sorry guys - need to bring this up again. Any hints? OTA update is still offered but cannot be installed due to said error.
Do I have to downgrade or install an older stock ROM in order to get updated? If so any hint or link (also to appropriate threads) is highly welcome!

Tried installing LOS, couldn't do it and now i have permanent dm-verity error

Here's an attempted TLR of what has happened
Tried installing LineageOS. Got Error 7. Tried a bunch of things to make it work like editing the updater-script and things like that but it didn't work.
Then I simply wanted my phone to work again. Installed Clean Stock ROM + Stock Recovery straight out of OnePlus webpage. Now I have permanent dm-verity error (tried going back to 4.0.2, disabling dm-verity via fastboot commands and restoring 4.0.3) and still appears.
So yeah, basically that.
I messed up like a month ago too, bricked the OP3T and managed to revive it with a chinese program.
Any ideas on why I can never manage to install LineageOS?
EDIT: After the last factory reset, the phone wouldn't find any wifi network. After an hour or so, it found my wifi and got a 92mb update that fixed the dm-verity error
What firmware are you running and what's your Android version? If you're running 7.1.1 on 4.1.0 you should be good to go just by flashing all the latest LOS files

[SOLVED] Phone changed the model in TWRP

Hey,
I have question about a problem I have.
So I tried to install the latest open beta version (beta 17) on my OnePlus 3T through TWRP.
This didn't worked because of ERROR: 7.
I found some solutions to fix ERROR 7 but it doesn't worked with this OS.
I tried some things like updating TWRP and installing the Oxygen recovery. I messed some things up. I deleted my OS from my device accidentally.
I solved the problem and was able to install the latest stable OS without problems.
Then I tried to install ResurrectionRemix-N for OP3T and I got the ERROR 7 again. but it said:
E3004: This package is for device: OnePlus3T, oneplus3t; this device is Oneplus3.
The thing is, it is an OnePlus 3T.
I don't know why and how it changed. The TWRP is for OP3T.
In the settings it says that the Build-Number is: ONEPLUS A3003_28_171012.
So I don't know. The default device name was OnePlus 3T.
Later I got an automatic email from Google because I logged in on an "new" device. But here they say that it is an OP3.
I would like to change it, but I don't know how.
I thought I can just change someting in the build.prop, but I didn't tried it yet.
Hopefully someone can help me.
-Fun4Jan
Okay so, I went in the build.prop and this is what I found:
ro.build.product=OnePlus3
ro.build.user=OnePlus
ro.build.flavor=OnePlus3-user
ro.build.description=OnePlus3-user 7.1.1 NMF26F 136 dev-keys
ro.common.soft=OnePlus3
ro.display.series=OnePlus 3T
ro.build.oemfingerprint=7.1.1/NMF26F/10122113:user/release-keys

ro.build.version.ota=OnePlus3TOxygen_28.A.57_GLO_057_1710122300
So do you think I can just change it in the build.prop?
Yes, you can change it in the build.prop.
please try changing it and report us back.

So I changed it and tried to install it but failed. It tells me that it is an OP3
Try the Qualcomm MSM Tool and try resetting your device completely as instructed on the Unbrick guide. Looks like you installed a corrupted Open Beta package, and something from Bootloader configuration went completely haywire. You can backup your Internal Storage since you have TWRP access.
Good Luck!
Have you tried using TWRP version 3.1.1-0?

So I tried it with this instruction: http://www.androidbrick.com/oneplus-one-two-3-3t-5-mega-unbrick-guide-twrp-flashing/
I did it like it says but some things were different and I think it was because my phone worked and wasn't bricked.
Now I have my phone and got the oldest OOS 3.5.1. My changeable Phonename is OnePlus 3T but I got a mail again where it says that I logged in with a OnePlus 3.
I will try to install TWRP and the latest OOS version.
So I finally solved it.
I was a bit confused with the TWRP version, so I thought that I can install the latest OOS with the Oxygen Recovery and I saw, that I used the wrong Recovery for my phone.
I used the right TWRP version for my phone but not the right Oxygen Recovery when I tried it with it.
I thank all you guys for the help.

No problem, would you mind adding [SOLVED] to the title, so other users with the same or similar problem will read this post to fix their devices too?
Thanks, and happy flashing!

Then try with the older version, the newest one is known to cause problems with proper device detection.
Edit: nevermind, just saw it's fixed.

Update OP3 from 3.1.2 to OOS 5.0.1 (process and files required)

Hi guys, I have a OP3 which is running on 3.1.2 Marshmallow.
I always get a notification for system update to 4.5.1. I've tried downloading and installing the update but after the first boot my OP crashes/gets bricked. There is only a Linux penguin logo that appears no matter what button you press.
From there I always have to follow the mega unbrick guide and get my phone back to working with stock recovery and 3.1.2.
I've tried side loading the downloaded file as well.
Then I've tried installing .zip file of 5.0.1 via TWRP, still no luck. it still bricks my phone.
Am comfortable rooting my phone, my bootloader is unlocked. I don't care too much about keeping root after updating my phone to the latest version, I would be grateful to anyone who can point me towards the proper full ROM files of 5.0.1 along with any firmware files that may be required.
And the exact process of when to flash the firmware and with/without which version of TWRP. I am ready to completely wipe and clear data.
in simple words I just want to update from 3.1.2 to 5.0.1. The simple downloading and updateing from the OTA update doesn't work.

I read something about wrong batteries causing this problem. Do you use the original battery?

I though of running a diagnosis check by dialing *#808# and looked up Charger option, it shows the battery as "itech_3000mah"
is that original?
I had given the phone to repair for water damage to a professional service chain (Not OnePlus, some company here called Yaantra). I've heard from talking to an official repair person of OnePlus that fake batteries are not possible for OnePlus.
The battery works absolutely alright, charges up nicely and I get decent SOT. Can't complain at all.
