Not able to flash 8.1 ROM on Moto G5 plus - Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers

Hi. I use a moto g5 plus(potter). I have downloaded many number of 8.1 ROMs. Not able to flash any of them. It shows error 255 unable to flash zip file.
Any suggestions???..

You are using the latest twrp? If not this is probably why. The 8.1 roms are all 64 bit, so you need latest twrp with 64 bit support.

Update your TWRP to the latest version and try again. Error 255 is common with phones that are running older versions of TWRP

TWRP backups available for download?

Hi there,
my 802 is running on TWRP after I updated to the latest stock ROM (30D Europe Open). Unfortunately due to problems mentioned in another thread I cannot install a custom ROM currently. Does anyone here have a mirror for me where I can download a TWRP backup of the stock ROM?
Thank you in advance
If you can't install a custom rom, what makes you think you can install a stock? It's pretty easy.
Very helpful... I flashed the latest KDZ on the G2, rooted it and installed TWRP 3.0.2.0, so far so good (believe it or not I flashed a dozen other android devices before). However when I try to install a Marshmallow ROM it gives me Error 7, so that means that getprop.device or so doesnt bring the correct value up. Now when I tried to switch to an older TWRP which is supposed to not have that Error 7 issue (2.7.0.0) I get an error saying I am missing the Loki files in the tmp folder. Now I do not know how to get around the Error 7 (the fix that is mentioned on here didnt work for me, brings up Error 6 instead) I would like to return to a stock backup.
How about giving me actual advice or leaving and letting other people help?
Edit: Booted in Download Mode and flashed v30D KDZ with the 2014 LG Flashtool. Works with Stock ROM for now

Status 7 Error for All Roms.

Whenever I am flashing Roms (Cm 14, AOSP, R.Remix) or any other rom, TWRP is showing STATUS 7 error for each and every rom. I tried modifying script file too but then TWRP fails to detect binary-script file and installation gets abort. What to do?
It means you have the wrong version of firmware package installed. For CM14 and all it's derivatives you must have OOS 3.0.2 installed before to get the compatible TZ.
Should I install This?

Did you made a proper "Wipe" of the device before an installation of each rom?

G4 plus Update error.

hey all, i am using xt1644 RETUS variant and on version 48 which is stock.. i have been trying to update to 64 version but whenever i try to sideload it.. it gives error of footer wrong and verification failed. My bootloader in locked and of course i am on stock recovery. I haven't messed with the phone at all. I am using the update from here https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/athene/official/RETUS/. I have never owned Moto device before so i have no idea how the update works. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Should i flash using RSDlite?
The zip files you downloaded aren't OTA Updates.
These are full system images for fastboot flashing to restore Stock ROMs on unlocked devices and/or edit them.

How do I install OS in MOTO G4 Plus(Andriod) without using fastboot and TWRP?

I've tried to upgrade the rom in MOTO G4 Plus using TWRP version of 3.2.1.0 and during installation process I wiped out the existing android 7.0.1 without backup(understood the cost of backups now). As I faced error while installing android 9.0.1 with error 255 code because of TWRP some upgrade issue couldn't complete the installation process successfully.
I tried multiple ways to upgrade TWRP which was not successful and even fastboot commands aren't working now. Whenever I try fastboot + combinational command like devices and etc it goes into an infinite loop with an error code iterator not found. After a good amount of search found about ADB and happily can connect to my device using ADB now. Then started trying with multiple options like adb side load after reading multiple forum answers and posts I did pushed a rom to scared/data/media after reading this forum NEED HELP: Accidentally deleted OS in TWRP/Cant install Rom which was successfully pushed but didn't do any thing nor I couldn't understand what to do after pushing it.
Then started search again to install stock rom in any different ways before coming here and stumbled at this question which is similar did read the question and included forum post in it to go start the process when I did download stock rom stock rom download couldn't find any flashall.sh file to start the process
Now I'm stuck and couldn't find better place to find a working solution for this situation. Can somebody help me? What can I do while my phone is in this state?
can someone please help me out from this situation
Do you still have access to TWRP on your device? If so, what ROM did you push to your device? You might like to try with a TWRP flashable like the stock ROM Oreo flashable https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/development/rom-oreo-8-1-0-soak-test-t3873367 and follow the instructions to install it (i.e. push to your device, or copy to an SD card, then tap install in TWRP to flash it to your device). This TWRP flashable should work on your TWRP version since it's 32 bit.
The stock ROM download would still require fastboot, so I'm not sure why your fastboot is not working. What fastboot are you using (is it minimal ADB/fastboot or the Google ADB) and have you downloaded/installed the Motorola USB drivers as well? https://support.motorola.com/us/en/drivers
(As you probably found out, error 255 when flashing custom Oreo or Pie ROMs means that your TWRP is 32 bit, whereas the custom ROM requires a 64 bit TWRP. What 64 bit TWRP are you flashing that are not successful, and how are you flashing the 64 bit TWRP, via fastboot or in TWRP?)

HI Echo92,
Thanks a ton and you are really awesome. It worked and I'm really thankful to you again Echo.
For the later questions:
I haven't been using the 64bit TWRP for flashing this Custom Pie ROM which was my mistake. I was using 32bit and doing on TWRP directly. What version of TWRP should I use in order to install the Custom Pie ROM I've mentioned in this reply Echo? Could you please share the link or help me with the version.
Thanks a ton and ahead again Echo.

Try https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...t/recovery-team-win-recovery-project-t3842903 or https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...recovery-twrp-3-2-1-unofficial-touch-t3722206
Both are 64 bit TWRP recoveries. You should be able to download them to your device, then install them via your existing TWRP recovery. Reboot to recovery then flash the 64 bit custom ROM and the relevant 64 bit (arm64) GApps package.

I Tried to install both TWRP with fastboot but unfortunately my fastboot is not yet working Echo. It is looping infinite times when I tried any commands with fastboot.

As I mentioned, did you try to flash the recovery whilst booted into TWRP, instead of using fastboot? You should be able to install the zip then reboot to the recovery, then you should have 64 bit TWRP.
From presently installed TWRP on the device:
* Copy the .img file to your phone and reboot to recovery
* Tap Install > Choose Flash Image > Navigate to the path where you copied the .img file and choose it.
* Choose Recovery Partition
* After the install being successful, go to home and tap Reboot > Reboot Recovery.
At this point, twrp should greet you and after you allow modifications, do whatever you want to.*
