Hello,
I want to start with saying that I didn't create these, but they were mostly created by Chacha_Ivanov from 4pda.ru. I just created a thread for it on XDA. Source of the files attached: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=353120&st=660#entry19657093 (Translated in Google Translate)
Requirements:
You know how to use adb on your PC and you have the proper drivers installed to do so (guide)
You know how you can restore your phone to it's original state in case something goes wrong
Your phone is rooted
If isn't rooted, you can follow this guide by XxXKINGMAKXxX
USB debugging is enabled
CWM Installation
You can update CWM by flashing the ZIP attached to this post. Latest version is called CWM_6.0.2.8_by_Chacha_Ivanov_2013-05-20.zip. For a first installation follow the guide below.
First Time Installation instructions for CWM
Make sure you meet the requirements listed above.
MAKE A BACKUP! If you want to ensure to keep your important contacts, pictures, data and/or settings.
If you don't feel confident you can restore your device if something goes wrong while trying this, I recommend you don't do this at all
Unlock Boot Loader, if you haven't done this already. Follow instructions from here
Extract "CWM_6.0.2.8_by_Chacha_Ivanov_2013-05-20.zip" to root of internal sdcard (so you get /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.8-e610.img)
Open command prompt. You can search for "cmd" in your start menu/screen.
Type the following in command prompt and press enter between commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
Press "grant" or "allow" on your phones screen if SuperUser or SuperSU asks for root permissions.
[*]Optional: You can make a backup of the stock recovery by using the following command:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/recovery-backup.img
To restore, switch the texts after 'if=' and 'of=', after having repeated step 1, 4 and 5.
Continue with the following commands (replace "recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.8-e610.img" by the right file name if necessary)
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.8-e610.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
reboot recovery
Additional info:
After the reboot you'll see CWM. You can navigate by using the volume buttons and to access a menu item you need to press the power button
You can access CWM upon boot any time by powering off the phone and restart it by pressing volume down and power on at the same time, then immediately followed by holding the home button (like this).
Notes for CWM 6.0.2.8 by Chacha_Ivanov (2013/05/20):
CWM version: 6.0.2.8
I pulled recovery.img from Chache_Ivanov's custom V10D_downgrade firmware and put it into a flashable zip, to make updating CWM easier.

From what I've read it's caused by the limited space we have for /data (2GB). I think it's better to use 3th party recovery from the Google Play Store for backing up and restoring data. CWM's restore functions works as expected for backing up and restoring /system

Unlocked boot loader is confirmed working with unofficial firmware, which you can find here
For this guide I assume you know how to use ADB on your windows PC and you know how to restore your devices to it's original state (using a KDZ Flasher) if things go sideways.
Bugs in CWM6 are unknown!

Boot loader unlock
Make sure you unlock using the right files, or else you might get random reboots!
E610: Download from here (made by urobbot/payback)
E610GO / E610V: I think these are carrier specific version of E610. You can try the unlock for E610, but it may result in a boot-loop or random reboots.
E612: Download 'Unlocked_bootloader_17-02-2013.rar' attached from here (made by chacha_ivanov)
E612G / E612F: Use E610 unlock. Tested by Inchewazu and panchovix
E615 / E615F: Download from here. Credits to Payback / confirmed working by mateuswtf
E617 / E617G: Unlocked bootloader by Skellum. You'll find it here.
There is also this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38053729&postcount=1159
It's unclear for what model it is, but I think it's made for E612
Boot loader unlock instructions:
Make sure you meet the requirements listed above
MAKE A BACKUP! If you want to ensure you don't loose your data and settings.
If you don't feel confident you can restore your device if something goes wrong while trying this, I recommend you don't do this at all
Copy "Unlocked_bootloader_*.rar" to root of internal sdcard (you get /sdcard/emmc_appsboot.bin)
Open command prompt. You can search for "cmd" in your start menu/screen.
Type the following in command prompt and press enter between commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
Press "grant" or "allow" on your phones screen if SuperUser or SuperSU asks for root permissions.
Optional: You can make a backup of the stock boot loader by using the following command:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/emmc_appsboot-backup.bin
Continue with the following commands:
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/emmc_appsboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
reboot
Probably found a CWM 6 bug: when selecting "wipe data/factory reset", it asks for confirmation but it's impossible to say yes, because there are no buttons nor options to choose of
I can confirm that. I added it to OP. I found a similar problem with advanced restore.
getting rebbot after sd card is scanned this is after unlock bootloader

What's your model and software version? You can check it by opening options > about phone (listed at the bodem). You will model number and software version there.
Mine says:
Model number: LG-E610
Software version: LG-E610-V10l-NOV-06-2012

First, how do I find my internal SD card? Where should I extract the zipped file?
And when i type "adb shell" in cmd, it says 'adb is not recognized as an internal or external command'.
Please reply, i really need to unlock my bootloader.
EDIT: Nevermind, I unlocked the bootloader finally. Now, I just need to install CWM! Thanks for your work

I'm afraid you'll need another boot loader unlock, then most e612 owners do, since yours is e612f. I can't help you with that

That's because your not using LG original firmware with a locked boot loader.
Okay guys, successfully unlocked bootloader and installed CWM. Many thanks for your effort and hard work. Now waiting for a good, stable ROM for the E610. :good: :good:

ROM LINKER (A) and ROM LINKER (C) don't, but you can use ROM LINKER (B).
B should work for almost every LG device. If I enter my IMEI number it gives me the right result

I am absolutely new to this Android ROM installs on the phones. Though I decided to install this ROM I absolutely didn’t’ have any idea how to proceed. As a beginner I started doing the following in order.
Download and Keep the CM7 ROM
1. Downloaded Ba2F.zip to my laptop
2. Downloaded and Installed the Motorola USB drivers MotoHelper_2.0.53_Driver_5.2.0.EXE
3. Connect the Atrix and set the USB option on the phone to “USB Mass Storage”
4. Copy both BaTF.zip as well as the Extracted one to Phone internal storage as well as the Ext-SDcard on the phone
Download ROM Manager and Titanium Backup
1. Downloaded both from Android Market (ROM Manager Pro and Titanium Backup Free Version)
2. Both Apps won’t open because I had not ROOTED the phone
Root the Phone
1. I used “Pete's Motorola Root Tools.EXE” file to ROOT the phone
2. Followed step by step as mentioned here http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-root-motorola-atrix-4g-35233/
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
1. I used ROM Manager to do this as when you try to do anything in ROM manager it prompts to do this. The version of this is 5.0.2.0 ( I am not sure what is this for why we have to do this)
Unlocking the Bootloader
1. What I learned is, to unlock the bootloader, we have to first flash the phone with the SBF file
a. Installed RSDLite5.3.1.msi
b. Loaded the file 4547-fix-try2.sbf (Downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261)
c. Boot the phone with Power+volume UPPER key pressed till "Starting RSD protocol support" comes up
d. Connect to the Laptop and Hit Start button in RSD Lite Program
e. It Did Throw an error saying “FAIL” after showing the following message
i. Failed to boot: error 0x1000'( not word for word). There will also be a list of boot options like Fastboot, RSD, Recovery, etc. And it says Starting Fastboot Protocol
2. Then comes unlocking the phone
a. Though I had the previous error message, it still had the Fastboot Protocol loaded
b. I went to the FASTBOOT folder in command prompt of my laptop executed the following to unlock the phone which worked perfectly as I see the “Unlock” on the left hand corner when phone boots
c. fastboot oem unlock (it gave me the code) then I used the code to unlock
d. fastboot oem unlock #######
e. fastboot reboot
3. Installing the recovery IMG
a. I had downloaded the Recovery IMG file (recovery-atrix5.img) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
b. Booted the phone into Fastboot mode (turn off phone, hold power and volume down key until 'fastboot' appears then use volume up to select so it says 'starting fastboot protocol support').
c. From the CMD promnt and FASTBOOT directory I used fastboot erase recovery
d. Then I executed fastboot flash recovery recovery-atrix5.img (Note: I didn’t rename the file to recovery as suggested by some people)
e. Then gave fastboot reboot to restart.
4. Booting into Recovery mode (This is where I have the problem)
a. The phone is not booting into recovery it’s not going past the Android and yellow Triangle screen
b. I re-flashed the phone same SBF file (this time it was a success showed in the RSD Lite Program), re-installed the same IMG file after renaming to recovery.img
c. Also tried with a different IMG from the same link (recovery-blue-atrix5.img) but no luck
d. Also deleted the file install-recovery.sh from ./etc/ folder (bought the app root manager to delete the file) and then push the recovery.img, no luck
e. Some people said to TAP the bottom right corner while on that screen, did that but nothing is happening
f. Then I saw a note to press both the Volume Keys at the same time, this works but in this mode the cursor (I mean the selection) on the phone doesn’t go to the First TWO (i and iii) shown below, it allows me to select any of the last FOUR (v, vi, vii, viii).
i. Android System Recovery <3e>
ii. <EMPTY LINE >
iii. Android System Recovery utility
iv. <EMPTY LINE >
v. Reboot System now
vi. Apply update from sdcard
vii. Wipe data/factory reset
viii. Wipe cache partition
g. Using the above option I did factory reset but sill no results.
5. Current condition of the phone
a. It boots in unlock mode and I can do all the daily tasks. But I want to install the CM7 ROM that’s my requirement
PLEASE HELP HELP HELP
First of all, I applaud your effort in giving the a very comprehensive description of your issue.
Second, it seems you are having issues with installing a custom recovery because the recovery you're describing is still the stock recovery. I'll look around and see if I can find something that might help.

Have you tried re-installing the CWM from RomManager through RomManager? And then boot into recovery from within the app?
---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------
EDIT: This might seem trivial, but is "USB Debugging" turned on?
You are the Man, I just flashed the same CWM 5.0.2.0 and i am in the recovery mode. This gave me an error when i did last time hence i didn't try again.
Thanks a bunch
Glad I can help, also, I think it's recommended to use the RomManager recovery for CM7 so good thing it worked.

Oops.. started again, Can i use the recovery-atrix5.img and ROM manager flash it? if yes, then how?
I copy this file (after renaming to recovery.img) to both internal storage and SD card then what option should i choose in ROM Manager?
If you downloaded the CWM zip file for the romracer recovery and as long as RomManager's recovery is working then, yes, you can.

See post#2 from romracer's thread. Read the Miscellaneous part. Probably need to get rid of, or backup, install-recovery.sh.
He has mentioned he already did that. In his OP, under the steps he took look at "Booting into Recovery Mode" - 4.d, he says he removed it.
Maybe he's not doing it in the right order? Do you happen to know which should be done first as far as installing recovery and removing said file?

Woops, I should have read more carefully. It's best to remove the file first and then flash the recovery.img, or else the script will install the stock recovery on boot. That would make stock recovery the current one on the phone at the time of the script getting deleted.
I would double check and make sure /system/etc does not have install-recovery.sh. If it is not there, then proceed to the fastboot steps and reflash the recovery.img again. It should stick this time.
@Ghost, yes i deleted the file multiple times however i didn't find the /system/etc folder on the Internal Storage. however I found the install-recovery.sh file under /etc folder. The thing i observed that whether i flash it with a new CWM or not if i reboot the phone then it was created by itself.
@Live4nyy, Thanks for your suggestion, I could able to install CM7 now and it looks awesome good so far, but looks like i need to install Google Apps separately to access the APP market, am I right?
The only thing that happens to me is, it allowed me to go to Recovery only ONCE after i Flashed it thru ROM Manager, if i exit out of recovery without doing anything then next time tried to go to Recovery, it will struck at the same old Android screen and i had to flash it again. But Many thanks for suggesting to flash it thru ROM Manager.
Now with CM7, under ROM Manager (I guess this comes default with CM7) I see there is no version listed under "Flash Clockworkmod Recovery" and it says i must have to install it in-order to Flash and restore ROMs, do i need to do that? I can go to Recovery mode after reboot without any issues. Please Advise.

I just checked out my girlfriend's stock, locked, unrooted Atrix and she actually has install-recovery.sh in both /etc and /system/etc. Her file manager does not alphabetize anything in either folder, so I almost overlooked the second one.
If you're already on CM7, then you probably won't need to worry anymore. They have an entirely different set of start up scripts in that folder. Welcome to the community!
At this point I do not know enough to help you any further with this issue. All I knew about is the file that needs to be removed that @ghost_og has mentioned. But if you can flash it from RomManager and access CWM from there as well then I guess that's a good enough workaround for now.
Does anyone else have any idea why the stock recovery cannot be removed?

Hello guys, this is a Tutorial for the LG optimus L5 step for step Rooting, Installing bootloader, installing CWM and finally installing ROMS.
I made this thread because i thought the other threads are a bit scattered all over the Lg optimus forums which is a bit obsecure.
So here I set up the steps! Good luck!
NOTE: THIS IS AN OLD THREAD, THE METHOD USED HERE MIGHT NOT WORK ANYMORE. IF YOU CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THIS TUTORIAL MAKE SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO FIX THINGS WHEN YOU ****ED UP, NEITHER WILL I REPLY TO ANY QUESTIONS ASKED SINCE I DON'T HAVE THE DEVICE ANYMORE
Before doing any of these things: MAKE A BACKUP!
ROOTING
First, What is rooting? (for noobs)
For rooting the L5 you need the following things: "IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk" & a root package provided by XxXKINGMAKXxX (Attatched below)
1) go to system settings --> developer options --> turn USB debugging ON
Then, go to system settings --> Security --> allow unknown sources
2) Install SystemBackupTest.apk with a file manager then, open the app and reboot - the app should be kept open while rebooting !important!
when the phone is completely rebooted, change your mobile connection mode to “Charge Only Mode”, then reconnect the cable.
4) Run root.bat from the root package, your phone will reboot and it will be rooted!
UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER
For all E617g owners, go to thishttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2392762 thread.
You need to install bootloader if you want to continue with the next steps.
Its very important to choose the right unlock file, else you will get bootloops!
5) if you got E610/E612g, download emmc_appsboot for E610
if you got E612, download emmc_appsboot for E612
if you got E615, download emmc_appsboot for E615
next, install terminal emulator from google play unrar &
copy emmc_appsboot.bin to your internal SD card.
then, open up terminal emulator and type in:
su
[*] dd if=/sdcard/emmc_appsboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
[*] reboot
INSTALLING CLOCK WORK MOD
6) Download "recovery.img" and copy it to your internal SD card.
(there is a special recovery img for the E615 - look in the attatchments)
7) Type in terminal emulator:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/recovery-backup.img (optional - makes a back-up)
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
reboot recovery
If you did everything good your phone will now reboot in CWM!
If you want to go into CWM any other time: turn off your phone then, press volume down + power, when the menu lights pop up press home button for 2 seconds and you will see CWM.
ROMS
This isn't difficult at all, just download some roms (given below) and drag and drop the zip file into your external/internal sd card.
Before flashing a custom rom do a factory reset trough cwm!
Go into CWM and go to the folder where you placed your custom rom. You can navigate with the volume buttons and the power button(=enter).
Some Roms for LG optimus L5:
!Note! if you want to flash a jellybean (android 4.1.2) rom you need to flash v20 baseband first!!!
FreeL5
Acid sound Rom
CyanogenMod 10
AOSPmod
XperiaRom for l5
BRICKED?
see this thread: unbrick guide
P.S if I forgot anything/ did something wrong, tell me
Special thanks to:
- XxXKINGMAKXxX
- Ideleeuw
- The rom makers ^^
my lg optimus l5 E612 keeps rebooting itself after the media scan. i have tried to wipe the cache, the dalvik cache and a factory reset in CWM but still kept rebooting how can i fix it?? and also the software version is v10d-nov-16-2012

Look the above message ^^
Regarding E612G/E612F
For everyone with E612G/E612F/E610V/E610GO, these aren't compatible with CWM/bootloader, so no CWM means no custom ROMS. You can only root your phone and thats it!

You shouldnt have flashed v20 if you want cm10, also if you want to install a new rom first delete /system, /data and media /dalvik /cache, just wipe everyting from your phone then install cm10(.1).

READ, The titel already says stock ICS to Customrom!!! ICS = android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich !!!
- See my other Tutorial if you want Root + CWM on 4.1.2. --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405357
I would like to suggest updating cwm to a newer version and avoiding the cwm v. 6.0.2.8. Look up for another newer. Recently, some of us we had problems with that version.
is there no tool like the AIO -ToolKit to just override everything for the 610? other than kdz. something that does work when the mpt driver fails to install?

Hello guys, this is a Tutorial for the LG optimus L5 step for step Rooting, Installing bootloader, installing CWM and finally installing ROMS.
I made this thread because i thought the other threads are a bit scattered all over the Lg optimus forums which is a bit obsecure.
So here I set up the steps! Good luck!
NOTE: THIS IS AN OLD THREAD, THE METHOD USED HERE MIGHT NOT WORK ANYMORE. IF YOU CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THIS TUTORIAL MAKE SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO FIX THINGS WHEN YOU ****ED UP, NEITHER WILL I REPLY TO ANY QUESTIONS ASKED SINCE I DON'T HAVE THE DEVICE ANYMORE
Before doing any of these things: MAKE A BACKUP!
ROOTING
First, What is rooting? (for noobs)
For rooting the L5 you need the following things: "IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk" & a root package provided by XxXKINGMAKXxX (Attatched below)
1) go to system settings --> developer options --> turn USB debugging ON
Then, go to system settings --> Security --> allow unknown sources
2) Install SystemBackupTest.apk with a file manager then, open the app and reboot - the app should be kept open while rebooting !important!
when the phone is completely rebooted, change your mobile connection mode to “Charge Only Mode”, then reconnect the cable.
4) Run root.bat from the root package, your phone will reboot and it will be rooted!
UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER
For all E617g owners, go to thishttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2392762 thread.
You need to install bootloader if you want to continue with the next steps.
Its very important to choose the right unlock file, else you will get bootloops!
5) if you got E610/E612g, download emmc_appsboot for E610
if you got E612, download emmc_appsboot for E612
if you got E615, download emmc_appsboot for E615
next, install terminal emulator from google play unrar &
copy emmc_appsboot.bin to your internal SD card.
then, open up terminal emulator and type in:
su
[*] dd if=/sdcard/emmc_appsboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
[*] reboot
INSTALLING CLOCK WORK MOD
6) Download "recovery.img" and copy it to your internal SD card.
(there is a special recovery img for the E615 - look in the attatchments)
7) Type in terminal emulator:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/recovery-backup.img (optional - makes a back-up)
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
reboot recovery
If you did everything good your phone will now reboot in CWM!
If you want to go into CWM any other time: turn off your phone then, press volume down + power, when the menu lights pop up press home button for 2 seconds and you will see CWM.
ROMS
This isn't difficult at all, just download some roms (given below) and drag and drop the zip file into your external/internal sd card.
Before flashing a custom rom do a factory reset trough cwm!
Go into CWM and go to the folder where you placed your custom rom. You can navigate with the volume buttons and the power button(=enter).
Some Roms for LG optimus L5:
!Note! if you want to flash a jellybean (android 4.1.2) rom you need to flash v20 baseband first!!!
FreeL5
Acid sound Rom
CyanogenMod 10
AOSPmod
XperiaRom for l5

I know that this is an incredibly old post, more than 6 years since the last OP edition. But, I still have my old LG Optimus LG E610 with ICS Stock ROM, in a very good shape, so I will try this just for the pleasure of doing it and play around.
Many thanks for putting together all this useful infos, OP and all!
P.S. Shame I can't add this (and other similar handsets) to My Devices List.

Thanks for your help so far
Updated P765 -v20C(Indian Version) to CM11 -Kang by Dhiru
Hi All,
First of all Thank you Droideking for the detailed guide for a noob like me. :good::good:
I have updated my L9 p765 Indian version with baseband version 20c (latest JB Update India) to CM11. I have used the ROM - UnOfficial CyanogenMod 11 [KANG] 11 by dhiru1602. The experience is awesome. The GUI is liquid smooth no lags unlike the stock ROM.:victory:
About the guide I would like to confirm that it worked absolutely fine for my Indian Version p765 with v20c baseband. There were no restarts encountered in fastboot mode. Only thing which happened was that when i was running adb command in the command prompt i got the error on command prompt saying adb is outdated please update. The error was gone when i ran the command prompt with run as admin option in windows. Also i used RomManager instead of GooManager as it was not available on playstore.
One more observation - Droideking, in the guide you have mentioned that install gapps after installing ROM and restarting the phone after completing setup. I followed the same but then i realised that RomManager was done as i did a reset and wiped the cache and done a reset. So had to download the RomManager apk on the sdcard and install to boot into recovery to install the Gapps. So i guess its better to install the Gapps soon after you have installed the rom in the recovery before restart.
Here are some of the screenshots of my p765..
Error during installation
When I choose install update from ext sd card and after that there is a error occur
The error is shown in picture...
Please help...
and when i use my stock rom unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped. is occurred.

UPDATED to include instructions for flashing other ROMS
I've successfully unlocked, flashed TWRP, rooted, and flashed Lineage on both an XT1602 and an XT1607. I'd done this before on other devices, but had forgotten just how it all came together, so when I was done I went back and made this step-by-step guide. It's a bit shorthand.
Many thanks to squid2 for his TWRP port, to the folks who make superuser, to parrotgeek1 for superSUFixer.zip, and to spiked_mistborn for reminding me about it. And, of course, huge thanks to squid2 and Alberto97 for the killer Lineage ROM. It is far better than stock or the last Nougat CM. If I forgot anyone, or made any mistakes here, somebody please point them out. Have fun!
1. Preparation (if the links don't work, search on xdaDevelopers or with Google)
a. Backup entire phone to the extent you are able, either with a dedicated tool and/or to Google via the Android backup feature
b. Download and install Motorola Device Manager on your computer from https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481 so as to make sure you have the proper drivers
c. Download adb and fastboot tools onto your computer from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 or
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790d. Download TWRP for Moto G4 Play to same folder as adb and fastboot tools from http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=16870#downloads
e. Depending upon whether you want to flash Lineage or stay with the stock ROM, download to the same directory on your computer either:
i. Lineage and the Lineage SU addon (if you want root) from https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4-play/development/rom-lineageos-14-1-moto-g4-play-t3544646 and Google apps (arm 7.1 micro) from http://opengapps.org/; or,
ii. superSUFixer.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4-play/development/automatic-flashable-zip-fix-supersu-t3464396 and superusersu.zip from http://www.supersu.com/download
Note: I did not find superSUFixer.zip necessary when I intially rooted, but after later installing squid's kernel it was indispensable to reinstallation of superusersu.zip.g. Attach phone to computer with USB cable, enable file transfer on phone and either copy the Lineage zip and Lineage SU addon zip and gapps.zip to your phone, OR copy superSUFixer.zip and superusersu.zip to the phone (you don't need to copy twrp)
2. Unlock bootloader
a. Enable developer options (Settings/About Phone/tap Build Number 7x)
b. Enable USB debugging on phone (Settings/Developer Options)
c. Enable OEM unlock on phone (same)
d. Open command window and change to the directory where you put adb, fastboot, and twrp
e. > adb devices (to check that you are connected - you should get a response with a device id)
f. > adb reboot bootloader
g. >fastboot oem get_unlock_data
h. On computer, go to https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a (you need to proceed through the login and to the second page)
i. Copy data returned by phone in the command window (make sure you copy all of it!)
ii. Paste that data into the Data Scrub Tool on the web page
iii. Copy scrubbed data, paste it into the box on the web page at step 6, and click the button; if it says you can't unlock your device, either you didn't copy and paste all the data, or your phone can't be unlocked and you're done; otherwise,i. Copy unlock key from email
j. > fastboot oem unlock <unique unlock key>
3. Flash TWRP
a. > fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
b. > fastboot reboot recovery
4. Flash Lineage and root, or just root -- when the phone has rebooted into recovery (you'll be in TWRP now)
a. follow prompts to make TWRP permanent or not
b. DO A FULL BACKUP OF EVERYTHING with TWRP
c. make sure you performed step b (or you may wish you had later, if something goes wrong!)
d. To flash another ROM, in TWRP
i. Wipe Data, Cache, and Dalvik. (Yes, you have to do this.)
ii. For Lineage - Install the Lineage zip file, the Lineage SU addon zip file, and the gapps zip file, one after the other, in that order, WITHOUT REBOOTING in between. TWRP will let you add all three to its queue to flash in order;
iii. For other ROMs - see instructions for those ROMs, but in general, install the ROM zip file, and then the gapps zip file, one after the other without rebooting in between. For root access, depending on the ROM, you may need superSUFixer, supersu.zip, or both; again, see the instructions for the ROM you are flashing.OR
e. To stick with the stock ROM but get root access, DO NOT WIPE, just flash superSUFixer and then supersu.zip
5. If TWRP does not automatically reboot your phone (if you unchecked the "reboot when done" box), then reboot to the System; if you left the box checked, then your device will reboot by itself once the zip files have been flashed.
6. Follow the prompts to set up your new ROM or stock Android.
7. Reboot into recovery (TWRP) and make another backup!
8. Want to get rid of the "Unlocked Bootloader!" warning screen? Flashing this file from TWRP worked for me (all the others I tried did not work):

For me, and it seems like I'm not the only person facing this issue either, I cannot unlock my boot loader on their website as it says it's not eligible. I do have the unlocked XT1607, bought it at Walmart for $150. I contacted their customer support and they said it can be unlocked and that they'd forward the boot loader string to the dev team and then follow up and email the unlock code, yet it's been almost 24hrs and no response which is saddening.
-Edit-
I did some research quickly, and it does fully quality according to their forums, as my CID value is 0x0032 and they state that devices with that CID are eligible for being unlocked. So they must be updating things in the background in their system

After talking to their customer support, I never got an email. The next day however I decided to go online to their boot loader page and put my code in, then it worked! The data scrub tool or whatever it may be called that they have I recommend using it too.

They are in a subdirectory of the TWRP directory. With the proper drivers installed on your PC you can transfer them via File Explorer. Or, 20 pounds/euros/dollars will get you a 64gb SD card.
3. Flash twrp
a. > fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
b. > fastboot reboot recovery

I tried to fastboot boot recovery from the bootoader but it didn't work. I rebooted the phone first and did it with: "adb reboot recovery" in windows.
Overall nice guide, works like a charm, i also flashed the unlocked bootloader warning with a custom logo.bin, no issues here and works like a charm (I flashed it with the stock logo you see when you first bought the phone with a locked bootloader)
Thank you!
Yah fastboot reboot recovery doesn't work. But very nice guide.
While in the main bootloader menu, the Power & Vol+/- buttons are active and you can go straight to recovery (and other modes) using the toggles. Perhaps this should be mentioned in the OP.
It should also be noted that after flashing recovery, one needs to go to recovery straight before rebooting to normal (system) for the TWRP/Custom Recovery to stick.
Also worth noting, Power + Volume Down will boot to bootloader/fastboot and then hardware buttons to navigate to all other modes as needed.

Yes and, adding to what you said, you need to re-enable the "Allow bootloader unlocking" and "USB Debugging" in Developer Settings if you failed to flash your recovery as the device expects to be flashed. Else, you'll get a "unable to load kernel" error in the bootloader log and being rebooted again to the bootloader menu.
Great tutorial indeed, thanks a lot. Nandroid backup doesn't worked for me but i'm going on.
Edit - worked after disable sd as internal memory
I found the stock firmware for my phone here :
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/harpia/official/
Is it possible to relock and revert the phone to stock after flashing twrp/Lineage/Root ?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/help/moto-g4-plus-relock-bootloader-t3410399
does it work with g4 play ?
I want to throw something out there, because it happened to me. In newer builds of Windows 10, you are no longer able to open a command window in a folder (the only available option is Powershell). I even tried that Path thing some Android tutorials talked about, and it failed. When I went to flash TWRP, I had to put twrp.img in my User folder directly (I only figured this out because when I did t-tab it fetched the .thumbnails folder). Make sure you know what CMD is referencing BEFORE you start the process, because doing so will save you a lot of headache down the road.

In concept, I don't see any reason why you couldn't use TWRP to flash the stock ROM and then fastboot to flash the stock recovery ... or fastboot to flash both (be easier and quicker). The Moto website may have instructions for re-locking.

In a command window use the cd command to change directories. For example:
C:> CD \mytopdirectory\mysubdirectory
Another link to consider about OTA update if you stick with the stock ROM :

Thanks again.
If your phone is from Verizon Prepaid, Moto will say the device is not eligible to be unlocked. Knowing Verizon, it's not likely to be unlocked later along down the line either. Hopefully someone comes up with a good way to bypass this restriction and install some ROMs.
Does this method work on the Verizon prepaid model, or does it have to be from moto/amazon?
Moto g play twrp IMG file not IMG it's **** IMG file please develop it
Does this works with LATAM version? XT1601?
Thanks :good:
Hi, so I just got this phone and I see there's not much on the postings like with links to a working TWRP, in particular. So I did some digging around and experented, and found this TWRP. It's from the Moto G9 Play (guamp). But it works, at least just booting it. I have not tried flashing it to the boot partition but it serves it's function when just booted (see command below) . Most important on the get go is a Android backup.
fastboot boot recovery.img
After booting, go to "Mount" and mount all the partitions listed there. Then backtrack to "Backup" and select where you want the backup to go. Then continue with backing it up. You don't have to back up both the 'Super' and the 'Super image' partitions, just choose one of those. Then once that finishes, it's a matter of bravery on your part. There was a 'vbmeta.img' you could flash then a Magisk_21.zip but I'm not sure if the Play G9 vbmeta would work. Anyhow, attached it the TWRP and then the link to it's source with the other files mentioned above. Let us know how it works or helps anyone. Oh, and it will ask for your internal PIN or password first to decrypt that partition. I think it's best to delete your finger prints and change the lock to NONE. Then boot it and backup everything. Remember to Mount everything first!

Lastly, my recovery log shows this works on our Moto G Play 2021 (guamna)
It does work 100% I have tested every feature out and it all works do not install it only boot it I have tried to mod the recovery 3 times now to install it but Everytime I do it bootloops my phone and I have to reflash all the imgs to the device
You can boot it with terminal emulator by running the below steps
Step 1 (backup stock_boot.img so we can get back in to android)
dd if=/dev/block/by-name/boot_a of=/sdcard/stock_recovery_backup.img
Step 2 (dd recovery.img to boot_a)
dd if=(path to stock_recovery.img) of=/dev/block/by-name/boot_a
Step 3( from twrp terminal replace recovery very.img with stock_boot_a in twrp mount all that can be mounted)
dd if=/sdcard/stock_boot_a of=/dev/block/by-name/boot_a
Thank you for that info. I actually was not aware it could be done. For me, personally, this twrp serves best as being able to do a complete backup as well as I realized it does flash Magisk for root successfully as well. Until we get an official twrp, this seems sufficient enough for the most necessary functions.
It works 100% so there is no need for a official twrp this will work just need the device trees to add to it so it can be installed to recovery and stay after a reboot
Hey guys I built a TWRP from this one and the stock recovery you can flash it to the recovery partition it's 100% working.. I had a little problem with the touch but I fixed the kernel... I posted it in the development section
