This is my version of TWRP built for the 2017 Moto G5S. It should work fine, but using it is a try at your own risk procedure. Your bootloader must be unlocked to use this recovery. Fastboot mode is used to flash or boot this recovery. To enter fastboot mode, turn off your device, hold PWR and VolDn for 3 seconds, then let go.
Differences between upstream TWRP and my fork:
My original green theme
No SuperSU
No TWRP app
No HTC Dumlock cruft
Updated pigz compressor (slightly faster and more tolerant of corruption)
To temporarily boot this recovery:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
To permanently flash it:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
The download is available on the downloads tab.

Initial build for montana is up. I expect it to be fully functional, including encryption support. Special thanks to @lohanbarth for testing.
thank you for your work :good:
Hi,
i just flashed your TWRP. The flash was successful, after booting to recovery twrp came up just fine. I wiped /data to decrypt, then rebooted the phone... Now it seems either bootlooping or bricked.
(Of course i unlocked the bootloader before flashing)
The phone just shows the bootloader-screen (blue background, red M-Logo, white letters "powered by android") with a small text in the middle "bad key).
Nothing happens. I cant even shut it down. Holding the power button for 10 seconds seems to start a reboot (screen goes black) but the bootloader-screen immediately shows back up and stays. Theres nothing i can do, no adb/fastboot access either...
Any suggestions?
Edit1:
AH! Pressing VolDown + Power gets me to fastboot/recovery... Phew. Guess i flash the stock rom first before proceeding any further.
Edit2:
Succeeded, nice!
Hi,
I flashed this TWRP. After flashing I went to recovery mode. Format Data failed as /data unknown. Flashed stock ROM. Again flashed TWRP. This time it just bootloops into TWRP recovery. When I power off and ON again, it bootloops and goes into TWRP recovery again and again. Any idea what could be wrong? My guess is I screwed up partition table. But not sure.
Thanks
KS
I went through flashing stock ROM, TWRP once again. After flashing TWRP, I went to recovery repeatedly and did 'Format Data' every time. I flashed Magisk. System booted fine. I verified by power off/on several times. Seems to be working fine.
Thanks
KS
Thanks for your hard work at bringing TWRP to the MOTO G5s.
It took me a while to install it on my XT1797, as there was some strange message during boot which said
ID: Bad key
But after many many times bricking and unbricking, I am now finally rooted using Magisk.
Hope that we can see some custom Roms for this great device soon.
I tried it with XT1797, but I can not boot and flash twrp.
Is this twrp compatible with XT1797?
hello, your bootloader and unlock it?
did you enable USB debugging?
that you put the fastboot cmd?
Hi . Thx for You job . My phone stil a live But I have a question .
how about this one ? At first boot twrp will ask for "Swipe to allow modifications for /system" and if you choose to allow it system partition will get modified. So if you choose to reboot back to OS without performing anything in twrp, the OS won't boot (as verity check is enabled in stock OS/kernel) . To avoid this you have to flash either SuperSU or flash any of the verity disabler zips there in xda

What is the question? For me it worked without such vertiy disable stuff. Simply unlock the bootloader, boot and/or flash TWRP, root your phone or do anything else. When TWRP asks to change /system, answer yes.
Root and TWRP. And a great phone.
Just need some Roms, pray that they will come!
Thank you!

I've posted a new build of my TWRP with the latest changes from upstream. It brings better support for Oreo zips while still supporting older ones. It also has improvements to the reliability of backups.

With this modded version of TWRP you can now install A1 roms into the 5X.
How to install A1 roms using this TWRP:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5x/how-to/guide-how-to-install-a1-rom-5x-t3777139
Oreo Modded TWRP 3.2.1-0 Download:
Google Drive
Nougat Modded TWRP 3.2.1-0 Download:
Google Drive
How to install:
- Unlock bootloader
- Enter in Fastboot Mode (Power Button + Vol Down)
- Flash using "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
- Enter in Recovery Mode (Power Button + Vol Up)
Which one should I download?
You should install the correspondent version according to your currently installed Android version. If your current system is Nougat, you should flash Nougat TWRP. Same for Oreo. It doesn't matter which version of Android are you going to install, but the one that you already have installed. If you are in Nougat and want to flash Oreo rom, after flashing it, be sure to flash Oreo TWRP. If you dont do it, recovery may not work.
How can I use the port feature?
First, download an A1 fastboot ROM. You can do so here. Then, flash system and boot partitions using fastboot.
After you flashed it, go to "Advanced" then tap on "Terminal". Write "a1to5x" and press Enter. Wait until it finishes. Make proper wipes and reboot.
Are there any other features?
I have enabled system.img and modem.img flashing, so people without a pc can flash A1 fastboot roms. But be careful, system.img can't be a sparse image (this are the images included on the a1 official fastboot rom), it should be a raw ext4 image. You can use simg2img to convert them. Modem.img can't neither be flashed directly from the downloaded fastboot rom. It should be a modem.img extracted with dd, you will need to ask some who flashed it with fastboot to extract it for you. I know it is not a very easy process, but at least people without pc now have a chance to update their phones.
In what roms does it works?
I have only tested it with official Android One Oreo rom, however, it should work with Nougat Android One and with custom roms. Try it and let me know in what roms does it work.
How do you port A1 roms to the 5X?
I have been asked this question a lot of times. I can't give a step by step guide since I don't have enough spare time to make a decent guide. If you are interested on the porting process, take a look at /sbin/a1to5x (inside twrp ramdisk), it is the script which takes cares of the automatic porting process. Inside it you will find how the ports are made.
Where is the changelog?

is it normal that the external memory is not shown?
@Aex12
Thanks for your great work. I have some question.
Should we install an whole A1 fastboot rom or only install system.img and boot.img like the old one?

Forgot to mention it on the thread. Thanks for reminding, I am updating it right now. You should only flash system and boot. Modem and other firmware partitions can be flashed too, but they are not mandatory.
And have someone test LineageOS 15.1 for Mi A1 with this recovery?
Awesome work @Aex12. Thanks a lot

That was somthing I also have noticed.. without sd memory being shown I can't do a backup to SD Card.
Instead I'll have to do a local backup and connect to PC and copy files over, Early stages I guess we are lucky we can even see the Internal Memory right?
Alright so I was curious and thought I'd see what happens if I flash recovery Nougat Modded TWRP 3.2.1-0 ( While currently running Oreo )
I booted into recovery and instantly discovered that you no longer even have access to internal memory 0b shown.. Don't waste your time !
I flashed recovery Oreo Modded TWRP 3.2.1-0 using fast boot as you won't be able to flash a recovery rom using TWRP in this state..

Can not get back to MIUI Nougat or even get old recovery to work
When i try to install back xiaomi.eu's miui rom after installing zip and do all the proper wipes, it reboot to system but says that encryption was interrupted and can't complete. So I tried to install back the nougat 3.2.1 recovery and try again, with the same result. again i tried to install the rom again with 3.1.1 recovery and same happens. With nougat recovery it can't mount any partition, so it can not opperate properly, only the oreo recovery works. the only rom that works and gets installed good is the oreo one that you submitted so what can i do to get back to my normal twrp recovery (no oreo) and to a miui rom? thanks
P.D: I also tried to flash with fastboot a a1 nougat rom and with the 3.1.1 twrp port it but no succes as it can no longer mount anything, only oreo twrp is working but still not get to work properly any other rom, via fastboot or via recovery. Bootloader is unlocked.

I think you need to fastboot flash boot image first, then go to twrp and flash it again from it.

@Aex12 please update TWRP. I can't format /data /system etc from twrp made for MiA1(MohanCM's) but I cannot do it with yours. I have mi5x and it is ****ing stuck on boot. If I flash MiA1's fastboot rom I can get to fastboot and flash TWRP (since the bootloader is locked) but I can't do anything with your TWRP. But I can also flash MohanCM's twrp and I can do all that stuffs except for installing ROms and booting to it. im ****ing confused myself.
Dear XDA Experts!
As I was flashing on my Redmi Note 4 Snapdragon Global (mido) LineageOS 15.1 step by step using instructions from LineageOS site I came up with a problem. Suddenly the the fastboot command didn’t “see” my phone. Before that when I was typing in the command prompt (as administrator) “adb devices” it said it found my phone. When I typed “fastboot devices” it turned out it didn’t “see” my phone so I couldn’t do the “fastboot flash recovery twrp-x.x.x-x-mido.img” command. However before fastboot stopped detecting my device I was able to do this command “adb reboot bootloader”. It turned out later that adb still was detecting my device but fastboot still was NOT detecting it.
So to flash TWRP on my phone I used a XiaomiFlashTool in which I could among other options choose to flash TWRP.
I selected this option, the XiaomiFlashTool that in order to even start and work needs access to the Internet it download the latest file twrp-x.x.x-x-mido.img with TWRP for my device and flashed it.
Now, having the TWRP installed I flashed in TWRP the file containing the LinageOS and afterwards I flashed Gapps instantly with no reboot as it was written in the guide. Then I rebooted the device to normal system mode.
The LineageOS started for the first time, I configured it and Gapps were present.
Later I’ve chosen to root the phone so I booted to TWRP and selected Install to install Magisk17.2.zip but it didn’t work cause an error occurred “couldn’t mount /data”. It was all red.
When I try to do the same thing with superSu the same problem occurred.
Could You tell me what I did wrong?
And which drivers/install programs to use to repair or uninstall and install fastboot again so It can work cause there are so many of them and the LineageOS guide doesn’t cover that thing in 100% ?

I used the latest TWRP for mid (I saw when the XiaomiFlashTool was downloading the latest TWRP for mido).
May I ask why shall I use a Treble compatible since my Redmi Note 4 was manufactured in 2017 and came with not Oreo but with Nougat so it is not compatible with Project Treble from the start.
BTW Can You please direct me to that Treble compatible TWRP please?
BTW#2 The Xiaomi tool only flashes the latest TWRP .img for mido by downloading it from the internet (I can't change which TWRP will it flash).
BTW#3 The only thing I can think off to flash other TWRP is by fastboot but can You help me which or where to find it so I can uninstall current fastboot and install again or repair by installing again?

That's a great idea but sadly I can't flash TWRP anymore. I don't know what happened. The Xiaomi program I was using to do this suddenly stopped flashing it telling me that there's something wrong with drivers
When I do "fastboot flash recovery TWRPforMido.img" it "flashes" the file in less then a second and when I enter recovery I see the old Xiaomi 3.0 stock recovery.
I have the device unlocked, developer options with USB debugging are ON.
I'm compleatly idealess.

I've heard that Crdroid official
And Siberia os unofficial are the most stable pie ROMs
Make sure it twrp is treble supported becuz someone told that official twrp has no treble support that's the reason I use orange fox
If it ain't treble supported just flash orange fox from the same twrp
Do advanced wipe

You have an old version of TWRP... You need to install a newer version - 3.2.3.2 - which you will find by doing a search for it here on XDA...
Just load img file on INTERNAL storage of phone, choose install>install image file> and click on recovery partition. After install go to home menu and restart recovery...
If you still have issues then download magisk again, it may be corrupt...

You have an old version of TWRP... You need to install a newer version - 3.2.3.2 - which you will find by doing a search for it here on XDA...
Just load img file on INTERNAL storage of phone, choose install>install image file> and click on recovery partition. After install go to home menu and restart recovery...
If you still have issues then download magisk again, it may be corrupt...

First of all, I'm not going to install TWRP - I want only to boot into TWRP once for flashing Magisk's ZIP.
Second - in this guide OP says that Unofficial TWRP should be used. I've tried v1 and v2 TWRP from the guide. So which other TWRP should I try to boot into? This? https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-x-t3836241

I am new on this forum (pocophone) and i seee how messed up it is. You should definitly use official twrp
You don't need official TWRP, but I think you need to install Disable Force Encryption, before installing the Magisk app
This thread will be more helpful.

Hello. I was going through this guide --> https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/how-to/xiaomi-poco-f1-root-unlock-bootloader-t3852520
I've got a problem. I've unlocked bootloader and next I'm booting correctly to TWRP, but when I try to flash any zip of magisk manager I receive an error: "invalid zip file format". I'm using TWRP 3.2.3-0 from first post in guide - I was trying to use both 20181012 and 20181211 versions and no result - still the same error. What can I do? I'm using POCOPHONE F1 with MIUI Global 10.2.3.0

what are you trying to flash? If it is Magisk Manager, it is in apk format and you just click it to install. No TWRP.
If it is Magisk, which version are you trying to flash? Try 18.1. And preferably download any file from its source.
EDIT: If Magisk v18.1 is also not flashing, try Magisk Canary version. Some phones need that.

I'm trying to flash zip with Magisk Manager, as it is said in guide. I know that I can have an apk, but is it enough to just install apk without having custom recovery (but having bootloader unlocked)?

I will try it if nothing from "my" guide will work, because I really don't want to lose my storage (I see that in this guide installing Magisk needs it)

Well Here is how i managed it to work. After i unlocked my bootloader i launched twrp and flashed beta magisk 19.0 (not latest anymore because 19.1 just today showed up) then i reminded that i forgot about DisableForceEncryption_Treble_v18.0.zip so i flashed iit and after it flashed again magisk 19.0, after reboot it everything was fine

There is no need to flash DFE. I've unlocked my bootloader, installed TWRP, flashed PE and Magisk 19.0 all without DFE which I don't need.
@OP, you need TWRP version 3.2.3-2 at a minimum, which you can boot using 'fastboot boot twrp-<version>.img' . Then flash Magisk. You'll
need at least version 18.1.

Thanks for the correction. I really don't know where I got flashboot from.

So, to make it clear (and to not brick my poco... ):
1. I should use TWRP image from this link --> https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomipocophonef1.html...
2. ...and I don't need to replace my recovery - just booting it once (as You described) is enough.
3. I should flash Magisk's ZIP, not MagiskManager's ZIP or Magisk.apk
4. No more flashing, clearing data and other operations needed.
Am I right?
1 - Yes.
2 - That's down to you. I have TWRP recovery installed and I have the app as well.
3 - You need to flash Magisk and install the apk. See this link for instructions on installing Magisk.
4 - Yes, you need to clear data, wipe dalvik and cache when installing a new ROM. If updating a current rom, I just wipe dalvik & cache.
HTH
Hey I know its not a thread related but if u install magisk can u tell me if you have 60fps screen recoding option? Because I already Dirty flashed rom once and nothing changed still cant unlock it :/

Hello, I updated to Q and can't get it rooted.
It bootlooped.
How can I root Android Q?
visit: h t t p s : / / twrp.me/site/update/2019/10/23/twrp-and-android-10.html
As, if now you cannot. For Android Q, it's still in research.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Never tried but: ClockworkMod Recovery – a past alternative to TWRP custom recovery.
h t t p s : / / en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ClockworkMod#ClockworkMod_Recovery
Research over it & let me know if anything worked for you-!
I successfully roote Q with this ?

I would recommend you flashing custom firmware, like the one in my signature. Everything is working, including Security Folder.
Rooting S9 +

Which TWRP version you used and how did you install TWRP on a non-rooted phone? Do you not have to use Magisk to root the phone first?

I just used the 3.3.1.1 from the TWRP site.
Flash TWRP is to root, so I did it b4 root.
1. OEM unlock
2. Flash TWRP with odin then boot to TWRP, samsung will restore if u normal boot.
3. Backup EFS
4. Format data wipe all
5. Dm verity, search newest from dr ketan
6. Flash custom ROM.
Magisk usually comes with the custom ROM.

This isn't true I flashed Twrp 3.5.091 via Odin, S9+ exynos android 10, then flashed Magisk 21.4.
When I got phone it was android 10 June 2020 security update. It then updated again to 21/02/2021 ota.. I was able to flash recovery twrp and root/debloat. Only problem I did find is that I cannot flash lineage 18.1 or any custom roms.

hey ,
1.install magisk manager on your phone
2.download the firmware from samfirmware for your model of phone to pc
3.download 7zip with lz4
4. use 7zip lz4 to extract boot img from AP(firmware)
5. send the xtracted boot.img to phone sdcard and use magisk manager to patch said image .
6. send the patched img to pc and use 7zip to create archive as boot.tar file
7. one you install the firmware as normal via odin (disable auto reboot ) go back and disconnect/reconnect usb from phone so it appears as added in odin once more.
8. add the boot.tar file to AP in odin and flash the phone , reboot system and install magisk manager again , go into magisk and it will reboot again to fix the root.
there is a video somwhere on youtube showing you better than ive tried to here.
this is by far he best way as you can still take ota updates because stock recovery is still present .
regards
