Is anyone able to get any options when booting into the stock recovery? It used to be that even if you didn't have a custom recovery, you could boot into Android recovery and factory reset as well as wipe the dalvik cache.

No idea how. Got into recovery, but since we have a Volume rocker we can't press both at the same time to get past the first screen. No idea what button combination works....

I dont have a Turbo yet, but my guess getting into recovery should be similar to Maxx:
1. With the phone powered off, press the VOL DOWN KEY for 2-3 seconds then POWER key then release.
2. The device will display different BOOT OPTIONS
3. Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL to Recovery and VOL UP Key to select
Tip: If the device reboots, you may have waited to long to make a selection, you will need to begin the process again.
4. The device will display the Motorola logo and then the Android in distress ( logo with Exclamation mark)
5. Press and hold the VOL UP key for 10-15 seconds. While still holding the VOL UP key tap and release the POWER key
Tip: You can try this step, holding the phone in landscape. If you are stuck on step 6, try a force reboot by pressing the Power key and Vol Down key, and start the process again.
6. The device should be in recovery

Ahh... I completely forgot about holding the volume button down that long after getting into recovery.
Thank you!

Mine did not freeze, however the wipe took what seemed to be 3-5 minutes... Longest cache wipe ever???
Edit: also did not get any sort of "upgrading OS" or "upgrading apps" message like on my previously rooted devices... Just the standard insanely fast boot.
Weird.
Recovery Options changed for Lolli
FYI, Wipe cache took 8 minutes on my phone and I've heard reports of up to 21 minutes.

Stock Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow for TextNow
Device Compatibility: Moto G (3rd Gen) 2015 (xt1548 ONLY)!
Android Version: 6.0.1
Build No. MCI24.107-70
System Version: 24.62.70.osprey_sprint.sprint.en.US.sprint
Kernel Version: 3.10.49
Baseband: M8916_2020632.44.321.54R
Carrier/Provider: TextNow (Sprint MVNO Subsidiary)
Android Security Patch Level: January 5, 2017
Build Version SDK: 23
PRL Version: 25060
ROM & FIRMWARE FILES:
DOWNLOAD LINK: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B7-zQU1VihD3aHZ4N1VJelY0d2c
This link provides download access to the following files: bootloader.img, gpt.bin (Partition Updater), NON-HLOS.bin (Modem, AKA "Baseband"), fsg.bin (Radio Firmware), recovery.img (Stock 6.0.1 Recovery), boot.img (Stock 6.0.1 Kernel/Ramdisk), system.img_sparsechunk files (a series of /system image files which, when flashed, comprise the ROM itself) An executable flash-all.bat file is also included, which is basically a script instructing fastboot as to each and every partition to be flashed.
Because the TextNow Moto G3 was shipped with Android 5.1.1 firmware, and because no firmware update or OTA has since been released for the TextNow variant, many key firmware components are outdated (e.g., Baseband, Bootloader, Partition Index, Radio Firmware, WLAN Drivers, etc). I have compiled this stock MM ROM in fastboot flashable format to ensure that all relevant firmware partitions are updated during installation of the stock ROM. Future releases of this ROM, which will center on bug fixes and stability improvements, will be compiled in TWRP flashable zip format.
REQUIREMENTS & INSTRUCTIONS:
1. An Unlocked Bootloader;
2. A Windows PC or Mac;
3. The Android SDK Platform Tools, or, preferably, the latest version of Minimal ADB & Fastboot. Download the program from this link for Windows PC and install once download is complete. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7-zQU1VihD3TnhTNVVVZGZ4bVU/view?usp=drivesdk
4. On your PC or Mac, install the most recently released version of "Motorola Device Manager." This piece of software installs and periodically updates the correct USB Drivers for your Motorola smartphones or tablet. A current version can be downloaded here, on the Motorola/Lenovo website: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
5. Power on and allow your Moto G3 to boot into the OS. Go to SETINGS, then select ABOUT PHONE, find BUILD NO. and tap it approximately 7 or 8 times until you see a toast confirming that DEVELOPER OPTIONS is enabled. In DEVELOPER OPTIONS, enable OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging.
6. Once you have downloaded the stock ROM installation & firmware files from the above link, place these files on your PC Desktop, in the same directory/path as ADB/Fastboot. Connect your Moto G3 to your PC or Mac using an OEM or high quality equivalent micro USB to USB syncing/charging cable. In your ADB/Fastboot directory, open a command window by holding the SHIFT key and simultaneously right clicking with your cursor in the folder/directory of the path sought. In this instance, the ADB/Fastboot directory would be correct. In the command window type: "adb reboot bootloader" .....Your device should boot into AP Fastboot mode from the Android OS. If it doesn't, you may manually boot into fastboot mode by first powering off your Moto G3. Then, hold Power and Volume Down simultaneously until the recovery menu appears. From recovery (if stock recovery) simply use Volume Down to navigate to Bootloader option then press Power to select. Once in Fastboot Mode, open another command window in the ADB/Fastboot directory, then type,: "fastboot devices". The command window will return with a string of numbers under an entry titled "connected devices". The numbers are actually your device serial number. (If no numbers are returned following the command, or if a prompt appears saying "waiting.....", then your device is not properly communicating with ADB/Fastboot via your PC or Mac. Try switching USB Ports, switching syncing cables and/or uninstalling/reinstalling Motorola Device Manager.
7. Upon establishing a proper connection between your PC and Moto G3, click on and run the executable file titled "flash-all.bat" (located n the directory of files from the below link), sit back & wait a minute or two. Your Bootloader', Partition Index, Modem, Radio Firmware & Stock Recovery will be updated to Stock Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. Your /system partition will also be flashed with a series of img_sparsechunk files, updating your Android OS to Stock 6.0.1.
** It should be noted here that once your partition index & bootloader have been updated, you will not have the option to downgrade either of these partitions at a later time. In fact, attempting to downgrade bootloader.img or gpt.bin has been known to result in a hard brick. Your Modem (NON-HLOS.bin) and Radio Firmware (fsg.mbn) may be downgraded with no reported adverse effects.
8. Now, you will need to root your stock Marshmallow OS. (Many of the addon pre-installed applications on this stock ROM require superuser access.) To root the ROM, you will need to flash SuperSU v2.79 systemless root .zip via TWRP recovery. Links for both files are here:
@squid2's TWRP v3.0.2-r5: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7-zQU1VihD3ajYwR25xZ3dFT3c/view?usp=drivesdk
@Chainfire's SuperSU v2.79 Systemless Mode zip: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7-zQU1VihD3VFBidGk4SjFkQUE/view?usp=drivesdk
9. Upon initial boot, setup, etc., go ahead and update your PRL & Data Profile to ensure your versions are the most recent. Under SETTINGS, scroll down to SYSTEM UPDATES. Turn WiFi off and Cellular Data on. First choose the option to update your PRL. Once successfully updated, choose the update Profile option. A reboot will be necessary in order for these changes to take effect.

I also want to say a huge thanks to @dearmasfamily for his TextNow based stock Android compilations on the Moto E LTE 2015 (xt1526). His modifications to apns-config.xml and eri.xml on the Moto E LTE were a lifesaver during my network configurations for TextNow on the Moto G3. And thanks to @squid2 for his hard work on custom kernels for Osprey. His detailed explanations on boot image support have given me a much broader understanding of the systemless root methodology. Finally, @ResistanceIsFutile, your keen eye for detail, research, and general editing skills have been invaluable. Thank you.

I agree -- TextNow subscribers would benefit from a stock 6.0.1 MM ROM for the T-Mobile (or GSM unlocked) variant of Osprey. Unfortunately I do not own a xt1543. I would need a device at least tentatively in order to flash & dump firmware partitions for a stock MM build.
Looking Good
Easy to understand and presentation looks very much polished
- Good Job Sir :good:
Hark do I see special editing as well. . .
Build it and they will come
The OP download link for the ROM & Firmware files - if you use the "Download All" tab "top Right" corner there, will Zip all files together in an easy all at once download of them in two zipped parts.
Thank you @ResistanceIsFutile. Been messing around on XDA Forums Premium for Android to create my post. You taught me a great deal on thread composition & I am grateful for it. I'll be linking the ROM & firmware files within an hour or so. Also i will be including a patched boot.img for systemless root support. Simply flash SuperSU v2.79 via TWRP (files to be included in link) and root access should be without issue. My messaging settings are undoubtedly the culprit. Please send me a friend request. I'll fix the PM issue shortly.
@MotoJunkie01 Your certainly welcome, as I've learnt many things from you as well.
Friend request sent out. Don't know why I've waited so long really. I believe your the first.
I see your due a celebration on a couple counts, hope Saturday is the best for you.

I need testers to install and provide input on this.
I'm currently running LineageOS 14.1. I read this bit of your post:
"attempting to downgrade bootloader.img or gpt.bin has been known to result in a hard brick."
I'm not sure I understand it fully. I apologize if this is a rather basic question, but if I install this from Lineage, will I have any problems? If I choose to install this, what should I avoid in the future to prevent a hard brick?
Thanks for your hard work!

No. You should have no problems at all. In a nutshell, stock firmware packages contain files to flash the bootloader (bootloader.img) and a partition table updater file (gpt.bin). Once these two partitions are updated, downgrading isn't an option. This doesn't mean you can't downgrade a stock ROM, say from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1. Downgrading is no issue at all as long as you avoid bootloader.img and ,gpt.bin.
Installing custom ROMs, like LineageOS, doesn't put you at any risk in this regard. You may upgrade or downgrade at your leisure. My warning in the thread merely cautioned against downgrading the bootloader and partition table in stock firmware packages.
@MotoJunkie01 : AFAIK holding down power+volume down button boots directly into the bootloader mode (not recovery) and fastboot is accessible.
In OP, point 6:
Then, hold Power and Volume Down simultaneously until the recovery menu appears. From recovery (if stock recovery) simply use Volume Down to navigate to Bootloader option then press Power to select.

Normally it's the other way around. Probably a typo? Just curious.

Well, the lenovo support link you provided seems to have the accurate process. Bootloader unlocking page also has the same instructions. [Power off> power+volume down and it goes into bootloader(fastboot) mode rather than to recovery]
Anyways, this will be off-topic for this rom thread so I'd hope someone with access to this particular model with this carrier can test which method is correct Thanks for replying.

It could be the hard buttons keying sequences (power and volume) and then the use the Volume button to scroll and then which one (button) is needed to be used to select Recovery.
As I'm remembering getting into Recovery required to do it multiple of times when I had the phone - again using the proper keying of the hard buttons in the right orders.
At Least these buttons are side mounted on Moto's and not on the back as another phone I have.

Yes they are hard button combination.
The instructions I outlined (works with my XT1550 ) are the general instructions which are identical in rest of osprey thread except in this tutorial.
I had assumed that the firmware of these models were identical except for radio.
I was just wondering if this model really has a different mechanism or it's just a mistake in original post

Hi ©Gravemind2015....thank you for pointing out my clerical error. Instead of "recovery" I should have said "bootloader' or " fastboot" menu in that particular instance. I'll edit the instructions accordingly.
So i can just go and flash this via twrp?

This build is not a TWRP flashable zip. Needs to be flashed via fastboot. The next release will be TWRP flashable.
I ran flash-all, but now I'm stuck at "fastboot flash -u system system.img_sparsechunk.1"
Had been sitting there for about 30 minutes before I gave up and unplugged to try again. Same result.
Any advice?

Did the partitions up until that point successfully flash?
This does happen before that as well. But besides boot and sparsechunk.0 everything else works fine.

Note: Magisk v20 does not work on A50s, don't update it to Magisk v20. FYI: Magisk v20 works stable on A50 and A6 that I have tested. Share here if someone can fix it

Yes we can move it if we add the A50s (you might need to remind us though)
It's quite common to create a device thread in a "close-match" forum while waiting to see if a new (more precise device) forum is created.
So long as the thread is clearly titled (as this one is) then it's ok.

@redymedan Very nice works !!
i will try this but i have some concern before root my phone that are
- How can i fully backup all my app and appdata?
the root require full wipe data , factory reset , it is hard for backup everything when we dont have twrp for a50s yet (im not sure if it also require to full wipe when install twrp) and adb backup method only backup some playstore app but not the outside app , or some apps that developer dont give permission to adb backup such as steam
- and what can i do if i accident get bootloop or soft brick? does flash a stock rom will fix these?

For backup all your data, you can try Samsung Smart Switch and If something goes wrong like bootloop, soft brick, Just flash the ROM to make it works again.

Right click and select extract here or extract to same name with the file name, It will create a folder like the file name. Make sure 7zip installed on your PC

How to install
custom rom
******************
You will need:
*PC with Odin 3.13.1 or above
(https://samsungodin.com)
*TWRP .tar image for your model
Flat: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/herolte/
Edge: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/hero2lte/
*Rom
(Stored on external memory/sdcard)
*Unlocked OEM
To unlock OEM
********************************************
Go to settings, phone information, and tap build number until it says developer options unlocked, press back twice and go into developer options turn on OEM unlock
********************************************
1. Put your phone into download mode by turning your phone off, now press volume down, power and home key at the same time until the screen turns green, then release the buttons.
2. Open Odin on your PC and plug the USB cable into your phone and press volume up.
You will see it is connected to Odin, (there will be a blue rectangle saying com(number)
3. Select the AP section and load your TWRP .tar image in there.
4. Get ready to press volume up, home and power button at same time on your phone now press start on Odin, it will only take a few seconds, as soon as the box goes green and says pass, press the volume up, home and power button combo until TWRP splash screen shows up on your phone screen. Now release button combo and unplug USB cable from your phone.
5. In twrp press wipe, then format. A keyboard will appear, type yes and press enter. Now press back to go to TWRP main screen and press reboot and select reboot to recovery. It will now reboot back into TWRP.
6. Press wipe again, then format, type yes, press enter. (Do this 3 times)
Press back to go to TWRP main screen and press wipe, select advanced wipe, check all boxes apart from OTG and SDCARD and swipe. (Do this 3 times)
Press back to go to TWRP main screen and press wipe then swipe to factory reset. (Do this 3 times)
********************************************
Your phone is now completely clear with no operating system and ready to flash a custom rom. When you downloaded your rom, you stored it on your sd card or external storage, you need to do this as when you do all the wipes it wipes your internal storage but not your sd card, that's why it says in advanced wipe don't check the sd card or OTG boxes.
********************************************
7. Press back until you go to main screen in TWRP and select install, select storage, external (sd card) and select the rom zip. Now just swipe to flash.
Normally it will go into aroma which contains check boxes of extra items to add into the rom, this rom however is a straight flash, it will automatically detect your phone model and select the correct kernel and battery capacity. It will say Installation finished when done. Now go back to main twrp screen and select reboot and press system. The phone will reboot, leave it 10-15mins to allow it to load the rom, be patient. Then you will be at the set up page just like starting a new phone. Set up from there and enjoy the rom.

you walk with everything excellent I congratulate you
Many thanks Looks amazing love the fact it's debloated. Downloading now
So far it looks very good, so brisk.
One thing I'm looking for - automatic call recording. I don't know if this version allows it in the usual place in Phone - I haven't found the settings yet.
Strictly good work. Thanks for that.
