Team Win Recovery Project 3.0.2
WARNING: The stock boot image has dm-verity, which prevents you from booting if you swipe to enable system modifications!
SOLUTION: Flash a root such as SuperSU or phh-superuser. You can also flash no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip.
NOTICE: The LG G5 H830 currently has flashing locked!
You will need to use a tool to get around this limitation. At the moment, Team Win nor myself cannot provide anything for this.
The community, and user @tungkick has however provided an alternative method of flashing, which can be done via a full firmware flash using a TOT file.
See here for instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/root-h830-t3384526
A message to those with other variants of the G5:
Should there be a time where your flashing mechanisms get cracked, simply mention my name on this thread or via private message and I would be happy to create a thread with TWRP for your device.
I have device trees ready for ALL variants of the G5, pending their unlock!
WHAT IS TWRP?
Oh come on, you know what it is - don't try to fool me!
In case you're serious, though...
Team Win Recovery Project is a custom recovery for Android devices.
It allows you to back up and restore your data, flash custom ROMs to your device, repair broken file systems, and root your device.

Last Updated 2016-05-23
I'll be able to test at about 7PM tonight.
I'm interested in assisting.
i may be able to do it in a few hours as well but until then, I wanted to ask, is it not possible to fastboot boot <img> without flashing it? Only asking because that's what i've been doing lately with my huawei watch for testing without overwriting my recovery.
tried it get unknown command

I wonder if we need to put the phone into download mode for it to take the flash... Not sure how to get there. The old hold volume up and insert usb cable trick from the G4 isn't working for me.

Awesome, anyone else? Looks like they really did lock it.
fastboot flash returns unknown command
fastboot boot returns unknown command
It seems that attempting to send an unsigned boot image returns in unknown command. I'm assuming that's just a generic error code returned by qualcomm secure flash due to invalid signature, rather than the command actually being unknown. (maybe fastboot does not have "invalid signature" return codes?)
im getting the same cant flash it apparently they put us in a cage and only unlocked one out of two locks

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img didn't work. Fails with the unknown command error.
fastboot flash:recovery twrp.img doesn't work because it doesn't like the syntax.
mhhh, very strange, it seems a "custom unlocked" bootloader like Meizu products....
I hope to be wrong
But the command to unlock bootloader hasn't changed? In the 6P its "fastboot flashing unlock"
https://source.android.com/security/verifiedboot/verified-boot.html
No visible recovery partition available
Take a look at this post, and see where would recovery be hiding (actually hiding, or new name)

I was already unlocked and tried to run that command earlier and it didn't work at all, as in, didn't like the syntax at all. I updated my fastboot and ran it just now on my already unlocked device:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
...
(bootloader) Device already : unlocked!
OKAY [ 0.020s]
finished. total time: 0.021s
Locking / unlocking with the newer fastboot won't yield any different results will it?

KDZs are factory firmware files, untouched.
Is it possible to root? Bootloader remains unlocked?

Bootloader can be unlocked. No word on root yet
Do you have to have stock recovery to used the kdz file

You need to use LGUP for flashing KDZ:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
First of all, flashing this KDZ will re-lock the bootloader. It is important to know because if you want unlocked bootloader, you need to execute "fastboot oem unlock" which will wipe all user data.
Secondly, I am surprised to see that TWRP is no longer working after MM update:
Code:
O:\LG\H901>fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.1-h901.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.732s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.749s
Same error if I try to flash TWRP as well. Did somebody successfully manage to root this version?
Edit: I've also tried with latest TWRP available from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/development/recovery-updated-twrp-v3-0-1-0-t3350825
Maybe we need a newer build of TWRP based on MM sources?

i got that same error when trying to fastboot boot TWRP. however, i then realized that my bootloader had been relocked. i assume you re-unlocked yours tho. i have tons of Google Play music downloaded for offline listening, so i'm trying to see if i can back that up before unlocking.
edit: moving google music to sdcard, will unlock and give it a try later on

Yes, I unlocked the bootloader again. As per siraltus' post in the thread linked below, we need a new MM compatible TWRP:

BadNews: I hate to be the one to tell you all this, But LG locked some of the fastboot commands... It has nothing to do with TWRP..
you all gota understand that twrp has its own kernel regrdless of what rom you run............. So ROM and Recovery dont tie into eather other..
Nexus 7 did this same thing some time ago.. the fastboot commands are locked up.. LG did the same on the G3 when we figured out how to get around the download mode.........
anyhow, if you even use< fastboot continue >
you will get same error:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot continue
resuming boot...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.018s
So now, we are all should I say, F----d Up............. I even use my G3 rooting knowledge to gain root... But that method failed tooo, and it uses the download mode come port way..
seems LG though of everything this time around........ But you can count on one thing,, WE WILL HAVE ROOT again.................
We have something the other devices dont have.,. We can unlock our bootloaders.. So, we just gota wait a bit.....................

That's bad, real bad.
The first thing most of us will want to know here is if downgrade to 5.1.1 is safe? If yes, which build? I don't think we have many options there.
For rooting, can we try opening the LG Com port using the old 9% method? Maybe then we can try flashing a root injected system image? I am away from PC so can't try this right now. Won't be asking otherwise.
I will wait for a flashable zip. And hope it will have root. Or maybe stick with the Korean Mm port
Sent from my LG-H901 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Yep. Flashable zip is the way to go for now (if it somehow becomes available). I am not sure how to read system dump from a locked-down device and create a Flashable zip.
I will try downgrading to 5.1.1 in the morning.
Just wondering, why allow bootloader unlock if LG and T-Mobile want to lock down everything else?
Ahh, hind sight is a wonderful thing.
After trying to use kingroot to get root access, it failed. And a few days later after rebooting.
I'm now stuck at bootup with Start Up Failed.
hab check failed for boot
Failed to verify hab image boot
failed to validate boot image
I've now tried lot's of different things, over the last few hours.
RSDLite (show device brings no thing up)
Unlock bootloader (request key, but error regarding OEM unlock not being set - no access to now set it LOL)
Downloaded stock X_Play_UK_Retail_XT1562_LPD23.118-10_CFC.xml.zip, and tried using various guides on fastboot but keep getting remote failed.
I'm on stock recovery (obviously still locked).
Any thoughts, or hope from anyone?
Obviously, not sure what support Motorola would provide for what is essentially my own fault?
Have you tried manually flashing each bit of the stock firmware/image. That might help. There's a good guide here which I followed to unbrick my device. Just follow the instructions http://theunlockr.com/2015/09/22/how-to-unroot-the-motorola-moto-x-play/
Or try this one.

I think you need to unlock the bootloader and then start with the 'fastboot oem lock begin' command. You can't flash a system image with a locked bootloader. Let me know how it goes!

Have you tried any erase data commands or reset commands? Perhaps you could reset the phone so kingroot is un-installed and then try to turn on the phone. Short of that I'm stuck for ideas really, accept booting into 'fastboot and then erasing all data and factory reset in there. Let me know.

Have downloaded, and tried that - but the crux appears to be the fact that my bootloader is locked and I can't access the OEM checkbox. And therefore the tool itself can't unlock or equally install TWRP.

That really does sound like you bricked the device. If you where on lollipop software you wouldn't have the issue with check bootloader OEM unlock. If it was me I would either contact Motorola or go to a repair shop and have a motd experienced person take a look at it.
Try this, not necessary for unlock bootloader

I edit and made one firmware autoflasher for my x play Indian version and flashed successfully . everybody should check sparsechunk files no in flash file of your extracted stock firmware and edit my autoflasher files according to number of sparsechunk files and flash your firmware. It is definitely safe and I flashed my firmware by this but use at your own risk .
https://mega.nz/#!aoETEL7b!6WUe8tXeh...HHohpfYf2duoLc
First you have to download your phone's correct firmware and extract in fastboot folder , and add my autoflasher and check your sparsechunk files number and make changes according to that in autoflasher then save ..Enter your phone in fastboot mode or in bootloader and not in stock recovery and run autoflasher.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT AT TAKING RISK , CONTACT Motorola AND MAKE EVERYTHING EASY.

I've ben used the latest rom so far why trying to flash (and failing) when I look at recovery I have a LPD23.118-10 number that matches to an earlier 5.1.1 rom (I had been upgraded to 6.0.1 via OTA updates) - do I therefore take that LPD ID to mean that I should actually use the 5.1.1 rom - I'm in the UK, so I'm assuming I'd use the UK one rather than Europe (I'm looking at roms on https://github.com/motoxplay/stock).
Thanks
Dooh!!
Looking back at what I was doing yesterday, within the mix of downloading various roms - appears that I was actually using the LPD23.118-10 and NOT the latest.
I figured, I'd give it one last whirl using the latest not expecting much - and hey presto, it's worked. Just in the process of resetting it all up again.
Thanks for everyone who contributed, and a lesson learnt about always rechecking what you attempt (and not to try to root if you're not 100% sure of what I'm doing)

YES you can flash stock Moto roms meant for your model and carrier only.
Also, Never attempt to downgrade.

I edit and made one firmware autoflasher for my x play Indian version and flashed successfully . everybody should check sparsechunk files no in flash file of your extracted stock firmware and edit my autoflasher files according to number of sparsechunk files and flash your firmware. It is definitely safe and I flashed my firmware by this but use at your own risk .
https://mega.nz/#!aoETEL7b!6WUe8tXeh...HHohpfYf2duoLc
First you have to download your phone's correct firmware and extract in fastboot folder , and add my autoflasher and check your sparsechunk files number and make changes according to that in autoflasher then save ..Enter your phone in fastboot mode or in bootloader and not in stock recovery and run autoflasher.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT AT TAKING RISK , CONTACT Motorola AND MAKE EVERYTHING EASY.

Hi All,
Due to in ternal memory full, suddenly my home button stopped working and notifications were not appearing. I tried and followed advice written in one of the websites:
"f you didn't enabled developer settings and usb debug prior to the defect, you can create an icon to call this Activity using Nova Launcher.
After installing it and launching, long press home screen, select widgets, swipe right to find Activity icon, place on empty space in your home, search for setup wizard (it changes accordingly to your native language), select .SetupWizardTestActivity and voilá."
But, now my phone is stuck in SetupWizardTestActivity loop. I desperately need to recover my photos and other data on internal memory.
Please suggest.
Additional Info:
Using Moto X play (updated to Marshmallow)
Bootloader is unlocked
Can't you just boot into safe mode and try if that works.
Boot into Safe Mode
With the phone on, press and hold the power key until the on-screen “Power off” option shows up.
Long press on the on-screen button, and select “Boot into Safe Mode.”
or if you have an unlocked bootloader you can flash TWRP and use the build in file manager to transfer the files to your sd.

If bootloader is unlocked then recovering data is easy, I guess you have TWRP recovery if not flash twrp then pop in a sd-card boot into recovery and copy everything to the card. Done.
Edit: the above comment says the same thing, I had not noticed that .
While flashing TWRP recovery, I am getting the following message in CMD:

is the bootloader unlocked, did you input the code to unlock??just checking
Yes. Bootlader is unlocked with input code to unlock.
I guess adb is not authorised then. when the phone is in setup wizard connect it to pc and type 'adb devices' there will be a pop-up asking you to authorise adb. select it. the try to flash recovery again .

"adb devices" is not working during Setup wizard.
Do you mean to say that I run fastboot boot <enter twrp name> during setup wizard?
Also, alternatively, will flashing a rom without clearing user data help in any way?
Thanks a lot for the help..

adb and fastboot are different things and are unrelated to each other. He doesn't need adb to flash the recovery.

What happens when you just clear /cache in the stock recovery?
What recovery are you trying to flash?

Hi,
I tried re-unlocking the phone using code and got following message:
(bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options.
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.008s
Any workaround?
unlocking bootloader will wipe the data in your phone.
I thought you had unlocked.
what is the problem when you try to setup the phone ? or skip the setup

best option now is flashing the firmware manually without wiping data.

Hi,
Where can I find firmware to flash on my phone?
Also RSDLite is not able to detect phone. Can I enter commands from fastboot?
Thanks!

RSD lite needs windows 7.
Yes you have to flash manually then using fastboot commands.
firmware
Just don't use the command to erase user data. Skip it. Open the zip there will be flashfile. xml/servicefile.xml open it , you will find the list of commands to run. Or the commands can be found here.

Just to confirm, will any firmware will work or I need to download one specific to my phone/higher version?
Also, any risks of bricking the device while flashing?

If you are on 6.0.1 then flash 6.0.1...better flash the appropriate region firmware.
There is a risk of bricking if you are downgrading and flash old gpt.bin and bootloader
As long as you are flashing proper firmware it's safe thoughi haven't done it but as you can see the comments I linked previously others have done it.

I constantly encounter roadblocks on this phone. Have not had issues with my OP3, Le Max 2, older Note 4 and Nexus 6 . If ZTE is pro this community, why are things not straightforward? On the OP3, simple lock and unlock commands and flash away. Got to do this and do that, 1001 different ideas from people. Right now, my BL is unlocked and I am trying to reinstall TWRP after upgrading to Nougat. This is the message I get when running my adb command to flash recovery:
I have an unlocked BL and recently upgraded to Nougat, but when I try to reinstall TWRP via fastboot flash method, it fails. I have tried two different versions of TWRP 3.0.3-1 & 3.0.4-1. This is the message I get.

you need to revert back the drivers to get fastboot working.

It is possible rigth now, for a A2017U full stock in NOUGAT (no unlock, no root) to flash TWRP and jump to LineajeOS 14.1 ?
Thanks
Happened to me. Didn't figure it out on there. You have to re unlock the bootloader to get it to work as it currently shows unlocked but is in fact partially locked. I used the bl unlock kit available and ew unlocked the bootloader then jumped to lineage os. You must get to a point in the zip where it says to fastboot oem unlock and instead type fastboot oem lock. Then start the zip guide from the very beginning again
It's not that difficult, it's just different from hacking a Samsung/HTC device. Just be patient and read. We've all had those same problems and there are workarounds to those problems. But the problem you're running into is you don't have the proper fastboot installed that allows fastboot commands.

I bought a new Moto G6 Plus XT1926. My goal is to install a twrp image as recovery and then next the lineage.
I got a weird issue when trying to flash "twrp-3.2.1-37-evert.img" on my 1926 by using "./fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-37-evert.img" on a mac console. The output is:
XT1926 myMac$ ./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (29440 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.630s]
writing 'recovery'..
(bootloader) Invalid partition name recovery
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.634s
Just before I unlocked the Bootloader. I tried:
1. Locking bootloader again and flash => nope
2. Restoring the partition table by the following commands:
./fastboot oem fb_mode_set
./fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
./fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
./fastboot flash logo logo.bin
./fastboot flash boot boot.img
Does anyone know why the partition "recovery" may be not present and how to make it flashable?
I flashed a XT1039 multiple times without issues, so I got some experiences. But i am out of ideas here.
How can it be that there simple is no recover on the phone I wonder.
Also I downloaded the "TWRP official" App and installed it within the Moto G stock rom and it also says that it can not locate the recovery.
I tried some stuff for two evenings and now i do not know how to continue...
Thanks for hints!
The Recovery is inside the boot, that's why the G6Plus don't have an official TWRP.
The ones we have are the bootable one with decryption enabled, or a flashable one with no decryption
So instead of flashing the TWRP to the recovery partition, I should flash it to the boot partition?

No. Do not flash it at all! Load bootloader on your phone, from a pc with a fb and fastboot on it, run "fastboot boot twrp.img" without quotes and twrp.img matches the filename of the twrp IMG file. At this time we can not install twrp to our device. We can only boot it on our device using a pc every single time you need twrp. There was a twrp.img for our device we could flash with fastboot to install on our device but it does not properly flash files sadly. We are trying to raise funds to buy a device for a recognized developer in hopes of making some real progress on modding this device! Look around the G6 forums here and find the thread if you are able to make a PayPal donation or would like to see if you could donate in another way.

Sadly no news. We have official TWRP now which is good. I'll talk to the devs and try to figure out if it's worth getting a pool started.
