[TWRP][merlin] TWRP for Moto G Turbo

This is my version of TWRP built for the 2015 Moto G Turbo. I don't have the device and haven't tested it myself, but it has been reported to work fine. 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 up on the downloads tab.

Initial Build
I've posted the first ever TWRP build for merlin. I don't have the device, so I don't know if it works. I do expect it to work though. You should be able to flash it permanently and not be forced to "fastboot boot" it as was the case with the osprey TWRP, since I am using a suitable kernel. Please let me know if this TWRP works for you.
If you are feeling adventurous and are running the Marshmallow stock ROM, I encourage you to try my experimental brand new "Squid Kernel r14" for merlin. First make a backup of your current setup, then you can flash the merlin zip from the kernel thread.

Nice work!

Cool man...

A stable stock rom with that awesome kernel of yours.. Great work bro!!

@rainforce279 if someone wants to install this rom then can he clean flash directly from N to this or he might take any special recommendation?
Edit: I mean any chances for bricking.

nothing chances to bricking since this rom not included restricted file such as modem file or bootloader file,
i'm using this rom+kernel with along bootloader lollipop no such problem.
you can flash this rom even you on android N, atleast if you on official lollipop from motorola, you need flash modem file kitkat 4.4.4., but make sure you never downgrade bootloader.
many case moto e died (bricked) bcause user upgrade to lollipop ofcourse bootloader upgraded too,
to avoid brick, so i've saw a thread that said you can downgrade to kitkat 4.4.4 but do not downgrade your bootloader,
i try it and yeah not bricked till now.

@rainforce279 will it be flashable through Latest twrp 3.1.1.0 or I have to go back to older version of twrp?

You can flash it on any TWRP version. I was on twrp v3.1.1 and flashed this ROM, no issues.

I want to test the rom, but i don't know how to install. I am on Pure Nexus, i install it when i was on lollipop stock version, so i have the lollipop bootloader. No risk to hard brick?? The RIL (Mobile Signal) will work?

nah, its similiar with my case,
i've try stock ota lollipop 5.1.1 from motorola, when i check bootloader is upgraded to lollipop bootloader, so i searching thread how to downgrade it to kk 4.4.4, some one in this forum told me you can downgrade it to kk 4.4.4 but dont flash or downgrade bootloader, if you downgrade bootloader your device will hard brick.
so far i'm in lollipop bootloader,
and i've test many rom such as lineage13/14, slim 6/7, aex nougat, and als this rom with kernel no problem so far, you can try this, make sure your bootloader not downgraded, also make sure you've flash modem file kk 4.4.4.
this rom not included any strickted file such as nonhlos.bin or similiar file,
i just put system and boot.img only, for make sure safe for every condor user.

yes you can take it from stock firmware, modem file is named "NON-HLOS.bin" after flash you need to erase modemst1 & modemst2, its safe for flashing make sure correct with your region.
and bootloader is named "gpt.bin" and "motoboot.img" this never safe for flashing if you at lollipop bootloader.

no risk to flash non-hlos.bin by fastboot for moto e, it a just modem file but make sure you flash correct file with your device and firmware.

is possible make this more great? ( fssync control, cm11, no gaaps, tweaks, etc)

If I install it from android N will I have to flash modem file later? If so it must extraced from stock 4.4. Right?
As for stagefright, is this rom free from this security fail?

no need to flash modem file if you not yet flash or upgrade to stock 5.x.x, other mean you still on kk modem.
about security i'm not sure its free or not from vulnerable, since kitkat is old os.

looks great

Guys my power button dead. I removed it manually so I need volume button feature like in mokee and lineage roms. Is that feature or any same alike feature available in this rom?

[Test Version only] 7.1.1 NOUGAT update for moto x play

Moderator Edit:
Anyone wishing to try this needs to be aware that it is potentially unstable and a non-released version.
Those who guys eager to update their moto x play and taste the latest version.
And waiting is over
Here is the link.
Moto X Play Nougat Update Download: The Nougat 7.1.1 update has been made available for Moto X Play and now you can manually download and update the same on the device. Ever since Moto’s announcement for the Nougat update on Moto X Play, people have been waiting to grab the OTA. But the OTA prompt is not yet made available for every user and it takes a while to complete the latest firmware rollout.
Moto X Play has released in India two years ago with Android Lollipop (5.0) pre-installed and the manufacturer had confirmed that it would get the latest Nougat 7.1 update without much delay. But the surprising fact is that Moto X Play didn’t receive an incremental update to Marshmallow firmware. Which means, straight from the Lollipop version, you can update your Moto X Play to latest Nougat 7.1.1 firmware.
Nougat update for Moto X Play in India has become a trending keyword nowadays after Moto’s official announcement (Moto X Play Nougat update India release date) and I’ve been getting numerous messages regarding the same. So let’s see how to manually update Moto X Play to Nougat 7.1.1 firmware.
Moto X Play 7.1.1 Update: Pre-requisites
Check whether you have received the update via OTA from the System Updates option. If not, proceed further.
Download and install Moto X Play USB drivers on your PC. [Check the below download section]
Similarly, make sure you have installed necessary ADB & Fastboot drivers. If not, download from below.
Make a full backup of your phone’s internal memory and calls/message logs. It gets wiped.
Maintain a decent battery juice on your X Play.
Install by these 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
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B2fcCTfy55gEWnBRZFp2dlZ3c1k&export=download
Sorry for my poor english.
Special Note
You cannot downgrade the device once it’s upgraded to the Nougat firmware unless the bootloader is unlocked.
The root access will be lost upon performing the firmware update.
The bootloader status doesn’t change, however.
The data may be wiped and cannot be recovered easily. So I strongly advise you take a full backup.
Now you have successfully updated Moto X Play to Nougat 7.1.1 firmware using the official fastboot image. Flashing the official firmware doesn’t void the warranty, but an incorrect execution of the command may brick your device. So proper care should be taken.
Thanks
Please press thanks button if I helped

Sorry dude ....I am eager post the link for people who are long awaiting.. Anyhow please test it.

any bug ???

as far as i have heard, its very buggy and have even caused boot loop

Oh that's really bad.
I didn't test it yet.whenever I install will write down pros n cons.

I hope this thread will help people understand why Motorola/Lenovo bans users who upload private builds.
Nowhere in the first post it is mentioned that it is NOT an official build. And "please test it" is totally what's NOT recommended.
PS: Guys, with each version, Android uses more RAM and battery. Don't be that impatient.

This is soak test firmware, beta version at best, not meant to be used outside official testers community. It won't pass SafetyNet for those reasons.

OP, where did you get this official Nougat rom? This is the real deal, not soak test version right?

For my virgin Mobile version I just used the sprint firmware. I thought the same was true for boost. It provisions when you boot up. It has vendor info for sprint, virgin, boost, etc. Did you remove all the others to make it boost only?
Just asking because I want to update my wife's virgin model. From 26.69-48 to 26.69-56. it's great you're making twrp flashable zips. Makes it much easier. She hasn't downloaded the ota yet (limited data) but when she does I'll definitely post a link. I used firmware from here for mine. The ones at the bottom of the page without 7.1.1 in the filename.

I didn't remove anything. The Boost rom is only the system, and the partition updater I just removed all the modem, oem and system patches and checks, and added the updated oem and modem imgs. I'll do Sprint shortly, if you want to wait a bit.
I could only download the Boost OTA over WiFi. It wouldn't let otherwise. It specifically said it was large and available over WiFi only.

They actually don't. I've just came to the conclusion that the ones with 7.1.1 in the title are Boost and without 7.1.1 are Sprint. Boost has only had one update sine the release. There's 3 of the firmwares without 7.1.1.

Just to confirm, these are fully stock with no modifications, ie all the bloat from the original metro os is still included?

Yes. I will do debloated versions, but I'm not sure what can be removed from that model without causing problems. These ROMs are pretty finicky about what you remove. Some apps removable on previous Moto devices cause problems now. Some seem ok to remove at first, but when you wipe data or flash a rom that's too debloated, you get force closes. I'll need someone to confirm what can be removed since I only know what can be safely removed from the Boost variant.
Edit: if you know what is removable from the OEM on the metro variant, I'll make a debloated flashable of that also. I didn't think that one had much in there anyway. Not nearly as much as Boost Sprint.

No working download links?

Working :
Basic twrp features
partially dual boot (different rom can be boot on both slots but still share same userdata, recommend to use fastboot method)
Decryption only support for fbev2 rom (example is some older rom, and kyasu lineageos)
otg / sdcard
Issues / Notes :
vibration is really wonky (which only happened on twrp, not orange fox) not quite fix, but it's stable enough to confirm
you might need to reflash rom "once" after you boot into recovery (flash twrp > boot to twrp > reboot to system (you'll see system corrupt) then reflash same rom that you currently using (via fastboot or twrp if rom support), after that it'll be fine. only on custom rom, stock is fine)
doesn't works with kyasu lineage due to using device model as ota assert (different than twrp ota assert, which is pdx206) fixed in latest build
doesn't support stock, due to different decryption key
ext4 only, no erofs and other models for now (1 ii and pro might release later, busy working new device tree for kumano)
format data, before flashing any rom (unless you doing a dirty flash)
For Stock users, use THIS TWRP instread this one

The Xperia5ii PDX206 doesn't have an official LineageOS, so OTAs don't do much.

there's some problem on some roms for missing ota assert (tested on ricedroid), but if it works. no problem

Cannot install .zip files, neither slot A nor B work.

none of my tester (including me) have au devices, but if custom rom works then twrp should be fine

Sorry, but I didn't understand with which ROM(s) and version does this TWRP works.

And any OrangeFox would possibly be developed?
Well, thqnks for your replies

tl;dr
- twrp works on android 12 (but decryption doesn't works on stock)
- twrp can't install lineageos (due to different device target, mine use pdx206 and lineage uase xq-as72)
(we're already discussed about device ota on dev group, so i'll use pdx206 for now, more custom rom in future will use pdx206 as target device)

Ok then, I am a real noob, I don't understand what does mean "PDX206".
I don't understand what you mean saying ‘due to different device target, mine use pdx206 and lineage uase xq-as72’.
To me, the XQ-AS72 is the code of the South Asian variant of Xperia 5 ii, whereas XQ-AS62/52/42 other variants.
Whereas PDX206 is just a codename meaning Xperia 5 ii (whatever variant of XQ-ASXX it is) used by I dunno who.
Am I wrong?

it's ota assert (in this case, target_device) that custom rom is set when flashing (to avoid flashing into wrong device)
lineage has been set for xq-as72 as default (don't confuse with device variants, ota assert or target_device doesn't affect with device variant that you use)
and twrp have been set to pdx206 (which is device codename for 5ii) so that's main reasons why it can't flash lineageos (but you can still access data normally)

Ok
Thank you loipuru, I got it now.

update,
- add xq-xx72 for lineageos flashing
the rest like /oem (for japanese variant) ltalabel and ta will come out later
