Yes, I compiled it, but found a device tree ready for twrp

I made a device tree for this device, successful kernel and twrp compilation, but still the same error as above.

Guys, is it worth the wait for working twrp for motorola one vision?

I was near to buy one for developments, I didn't due to his price now is 274 euro was 240 but I arrived too late, it's too high for android one phone :/ .

Yep, this phone is too expensive and a waste of time. I regret I bought it

I'm in the same situation with my Motorola One Action. I'm looking in both forums because they're almost the same phone (same SoC, different camera config and codename; Vision is Kane and Action is Troika).
I managed to get the stock firmware for my One Action XT2013-1, grabbed the boot.img, patched on Magisk, unlocked the Bootloader and tried to boot the patched image with the same error described in this post "Validation image failed" on device and "Failed" on fastboot.exe.
We need to bypass that validation so we can boot unsigned images on our phones. Sadly, I'm not a developer but will happily test any advance on my device.
Greetings.

From what I know "Validation image failed" error comes up if you haven't unlocked the bootloader or if the firmware you're trying to flash is older than your current firmware.
Did you enabled the "OEM unlocking" toggle from the developer settings? This might block the twrp installation.
@Alisson1397 also are you sure that the source code you're using for this twrp is for our particular device?

Maybe I'm using an outdated boot.img, but I find it unlikely

[Q] Root with locked bootloader

Is anyone working on a method for rooting that does not require an unlocked bootloader?
Nope no chance without unlocked bootloader
Gesendet von meinem EndeavorU mit Tapatalk 4
Okay and how some androidphone have been rooted without an unlocked bootloader ? Defy for example.
I don't own the Moto G, but it is possible to root with a locked bootloader. You gonna need to set up adb and fastboot on your pc using Android SDK. You will also need twrp. There are some guides on how to set up and use adb and fastboot.
Twrp can give you root permission if you don't have it. Hope this helps a bit.

How about:
"Fastboot boot recovery.img" CWM, then you can flash the superuser zip without unlocking the bootloader or flashing a different recovery.
Lost, you have to set up adb and fastboot before you can flash a recovery.
Sent from my U9200 using xda app-developers app
I didn't mean to imply setting up adb was not required. And just to clarify, I was suggesting booting a recovery, not flashing it permanently.

I tried just booting a recovery once, but it ended up booting the empty stock recovery. I can try again in a few hours, but I'm not sure it'll work.

Boot a custom recovery with locked bl is not and will not possible on moto g. No matter if it's possible on other phones, we are talking about g.
If you want root without unlock bl you have only a way: to wait some exploit. For now there aren't, in future who know..

Yeah well, Hope some one will find a way a soon because not many people afford to lose warranty on rooting as unrooting will not save warranty..
Yep. Root is a risk for warranty.
For example, my two friends here in Italy, for different problems have send their g with unlocked bl in repair. Both are back repaired without any problems. So i mean that there are cases and cases. Btw root remains a risk for many.

You can do it without requiring to unlock bootloader but I am not sure of Moto g. I have done it for Samsung device but it should not make a difference as Moto g is another Android device.
You will need Android SDK and also need to run Twrp. It will do the job for you.

XT1039 5.1 - TWRP/Root?

Hi I just bought a XT1039 today and it came with the new 5.1 build out of the bos.
I've been reading the forums and it seems like there's no sure way to root and/or flash TWRP on Lollipop?
Does anyone know how I can do that? Or do I have to roll back to Kit Kat or something? Please help!

Hey there, can anyone tell me whether or not I can just use the TWRP version that can be downloaded on twrp.me?
I have the XT1039 with a unlocked bootloader and I am aiming to install TWRP and later CM/ResurrectionRemix if possible onto the device.
But first things first - TWRP is the thing that is missing. Anyone still using the phone?

Looking good, but after that - when I press vol - & power on I get into the fastboot menu. When choosing "recovery" in there, the screen goes black and nothing happens.
Any idea?
edit: I get a "mismatched partition size (recovery)" within fastboot... didn't notice until now. Any input on that?

No idea. It works fine on my XT1039. Try "fastboot boot twrp.img" to see if it starts that way. If it does, you could try copying twrp.img to the phone using adb push or mtp, then flash it to the recovery partition from twrp's "install image" feature.

Thx but somehow I wasn't able to get into recovery but every time in the system itself. Recovery was overwritten, I think. After 20 or so tries I finally managed to get it running.

cannot flash Bootloader on unlocked Pixel 2

I have a Google version Pixel 2 and have unlocked the bootloader (unlocked/relocked multiple times) and cannot flash any bootloader. I have tried flashing the "production" BL and the Dev Preview BL. I get the same error each time.

I have tried using the fastboot flashing unlock and fastboot flashing unlock_critical commands. I have relocked the BL then booted into the OS and used ADB to reboot to the BL, I still get the same error. I have tried changing the active slot to with no change.. I have tried the google version of platform tools, minimal adb, and another adb version I had from previous phones. I have downloaded the latest drivers from google no change.. I can flash and format other partitions, just not the BL (although I haven't tried format/erase bootloader, and I don't plan to)
I have tried different USB C cables, Google OEM, Samsung OEM, AUKEY .. different USB ports, different computers (although both with Windows 10 64bit).
Any suggestions?

Some have had trouble with computers with usb-c ports. Have you tried a computer with usb-a and, of course, a usb-a to usb-c cable.

+Natahranta had shared the following with me and I hope it helps in your case...
"Download factory image from Google, unpack it, insidebis another zip, there is boot.img file
Flash it to both slots A and B. It must be the same version/update your phone was on.
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
If you're not sure which exactly stock rom build your phone is on, use the flash_all.bat to flash the whole image on your phone, to be sure you have no mismatch between system and boot. Just remove "-w" from the bat file so it doesn't erase your user data"
So i got it working here is what I did..
I used the factory image to flash back 100% stock and relocked the bootloader, I then signed my device up for the Dev Preview, and surprisingly I got the notification to install DP pretty quickly. After DP installed I rebooted into the bootloader and noticed that my bootloader version had changed to the DP BL version. I then unlocked with the standard Fastboot Flashing Unlock command and unlocked the bootloader. After the phone rebooted I shut it down and booted into the BL and flashed the stock BL (a downgrade) it was successful, so i flashed the DP BL version and it was successful as well. Rebooted normally into the OS and all is well.
Hopefully this will help anyone else having the same problem.

I don't have any suggestions for your issue. But don't relock it, ever. You are playing with fire, if it goes bad and it's locked you are done.

I had this problem and created a thread about it a month ago: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/help/failed-remote-command-flash-error-t3701929. A couple other people in that thread are now also reporting the problem.
No one seemed to know what the " FAILED (remote: Command Flash Error)" means. I never figured it out.
At the time of the November update, however, I was able to sideload OTA images with adb without problem. I assume that the OTA method also updates the bootloader, like the Dev Preview did for you. I couldn't tell with the November update, though, because it had the same version of the bootloader in it as the one that shipped with the phone.
So I'm wondering if simply sideloading the current December OTA image with adb would accomplish the same thing you did, without having to lock the bootloader, unlock it again, and go through the pain of wiping the device. I wonder if there was just something weird about the original version of the bootloader. Weirdness like this was discussed early on with the Pixel 2 in this XDA article: https://www.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-failing-flash-factory-images/ If I'm right, then once one sideloads the December OTA image and gets a new bootloader, there may not be an issue flashing bootloaders with fastboot in the future. I assume that the Dev Preview also used the OTA method to update the device.
In other words, I'm wondering if the step of unlocking and relocking the bootloader was not necessary. You just had to do it to get the Developer Preview (right?).
Just guessing here. I haven't had time yet to try this.
Okay, I tried my idea above and I was correct. Simplying sideloading the December OTA image updates the bootloader. After that the problem is solved. I can successfully flash the bootloader .img file directly (from the factory image zip) using fastboot. So I assume going forward there should not be any problems flashing factory images, instead of sideloading OTA images.
This solution also avoids having to lock and unlock the bootloader and wipe the whole device in the process.

My problem is that I have TWRP installed and it won't sideload nor flash the OTA file. I am trying to figure out how to flash the factory recovery. Unlike the factory images of before, there is no obvious recovery image in the zip.

Nevermind. I figured out that recovery is part of boot now. I flashed the factory boot and flashing OTA now.

I'm not really sure how to solve that problem. Perhaps you should ask in the TWRP thread. I thought that when you install TWRP it backs up the recovery and has a way to restore it. But I could be wrong about that. You're correct that the recovery image does not seem to be included in the factory image zip like it used to be. I have seen other people mention that.

Thanks for replying. Silly me, I was thinking the old way of doing business, where the recovery had its own image/partition. I figured out that recovery is part of boot, so I flashed boot and got the factory recovery back. I'm on 8.1 now.

Glad you solved your problem. Interesting to know how the recovery works now. Perhaps that will be useful knowledge for me in the future. I'm kind fo waiting until TWRP comes out of beta and hopefully works in a more straightforward way, until I get into that. It is sad that the great old days of the Nexus devices being so developer friendly seem to really be over.

So you know, TWRP for the first gen Pixels never left beta. They worked well enough... For Pixel 2s, I use the current beta for backups and they are handy for certain things. For now I am booting to TWRP to flash Magisk. For me, it is more convenient than patching.

I'm just hoping with what was learned from the original Pixel and given that supposedly most phones will eventually use the A/B partition scheme that maybe TWRP will advance further on the Pixel 2. I really miss nandroid backups. I miss LineageOS too. Everything was so much simpler on my old Nexus 4. And I wasn't constantly feeling like I was going to brick my device every time I tried to do something.

Sorry, did that on the phone. Was supposed to go here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74704694&postcount=155
TWRP 3.2.0.0 final release (as I understand it) has been announced a few days ago. Don't know why the thread title still says beta.
This is freaking weird. Anyway, followed post #11 to sideload DEC OTA zip in stock recovery, and now finally I have a bootloader that is 0066 on both slot a and b. Thanked @cb474 !

TWRP development for RETAIL Z4, gauging interest!

Hello all!
I've recently submitted a GPL source request for the Moto Z4 (foles). Specifically for build PPF29.105-25-13. I'd like to gauge interest in releasing a port of TWRP for the Z4.
Update(10.08.19) - Kernel source has been released. I've started development of twrp for this device.
Thank You,
GirlsGoneAndroid
Count me in. I'm already modding mine like crazy TWRP is essential for me @ this point.
Yes, count me in too
Update!
Hello all!
I just wanted to give you an update. I've received word that the source code for the RETAIL version of the Moto Z4. Specifically version PPF29.105-25-13 will be released next week!

Thank you!
It looks like PPF29.105-25-13-2 got pushed out. Does anyone know what exactly the update contains? I haven't had a chance to check the changelog.
I've also reached out and requested PPF29.105-25-13-2 as well now that that's been pushed out.

Yes I just updated, the release notes just say it updated the security patches through August 1st. Thats the only update it appears.
Grr I wish I had gotten the non vzw version. I'd be working on it now. But Verizon's deal was to good to pass up when it launched
Thank you for your efforts! Excited to get some root/custom roms soon

This is really good. I'm on Z², waiting on root before I upgrade to Z⁴.
I cannot imagine buying a new phone without root.

I've got a minimal twrp built. I have not had time to test it yet. Please do not flash it or install it yet! Only temporarily boot it to test it. I make no guarantees of safety. I'm not responsible for bricked devices...etc. If you'd like to help you can temporarily boot to it using these instructions.
Download twrp img
[URL Removed Test build did not work. removing for now.]
Boot your moto z4 to the bootloader (adb reboot bootloader)
Boot to the twrp image temporarily (fastboot boot foles.img)
If you are able to boot to the image please pull the recovery log! (adb pull /tmp/recovery.log)
Paste the recovery log to a pastebin website and post the link.
I'll continue to work on this throughout the week. Please only follow these steps if you're comfortable with adb/fastboot and can recover your phone to an operable state if something goes wrong.

So I gave this a try today and I get the following:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot boot foles.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.342s]
booting...
OKAY [ 10.238s]
finished. total time: 10.583s
Does not boot into TWRP and boots normally instead. Tried this many times with the same result. I have my bootloader unlocked and USB Debug enabled.

Thank you for testing that out. I'll take a look at it over the weekend. I've gotten bogged down in school work.

It's not that TWRP gets installed, you can boot to the recovery and then flash the zip file.

I got root ?

Install canary then update https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk
Then install this patch https://drive.google.com/file/d/11KaE0arOuqL6PUfV__CL4ajmqwxv1Skk/view?usp=drivesdk
Put this in fastboot folder
Then fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img

I do not have the P5 yet to test root.
To get Google Pay working, you need to hide play and pay services.
Also use system less for adware. (AdAway).

Can you tell us who made that patch. It might help some decide whether to trust it on their brand spanking new $1000 toy.

If you are lucky enough that Google hasn't yet turned on hardware attestation for you yet then you can use Magiskhide to get GP working (somebody else has already mentioned what you need to hide).
When, not if, they switch you over to hardware attestation you'll have 2 choices... Live without any app that requires your device to pass SafetyNet, or get rid of Magisk and relock your bootloader. (also hope that unlocking the bootloader on the pixel 5 doesn't trip some sort of fuse which makes it impossible to take things back to a pre-unlocked state)
I'm not going to root mine and I sincerely hope that you don't regret rooting yours.
Cheers.

Hi mate I made the patch easy to do ?
And thanks for the info
Pixel 5, unlocked bootloader, rooted. Banking apps (tested: Germany BW Bank app & pushTAN app, Bosnia Unicredit Bank - all in one banking + token app) WORK with root and magisk hide (SafetyNet fails due to hardware attestation). Other apps that work while rooted with magiskhide regardles of attestation: PayPal, GooglePay (*due to a current issue with PayPal im not able to enable contactless payments with GPay at the moment, awaiting PayPal support reply, however the GPay app does launch and says that "Phone meets security requirements" despite SafetyNet failure.
With Magisk HideProps Module (Force Basic Attestation -> Pixel 3a) SafetyNet passes without issues.
GooglePay enabling contactless payments requires SafetyNet to pass. I added PayPal as contactless GPay option after passing SafetyNet. After enabling it I went on and restored the original Pixel 5 Fingerprint, didn't try paying anything this way yet tho. (If it passes like this, the HideProps would be a onetime thing, provided you dont add/remove cards often).

What is the patch that needs to be installed? Just rooted without it and I don't see anything in particular not working (I flashed the whole image again and used that boot image with magisk).

Patch is there if you don't know how to patch the boot ?
didnt work here
Hi
It didnt work on my side.
Downloaded the Factory Image (not KKDI only) and patched with Canary Magisk MAnager
If I flash the patched img with the latest platform tools it says : FAILED (remote: Failed to write to partition Not Found)
If I use the Minimal ADB package it goes through, but does not install Magisk and root ^^
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help
