2 ) INSTALL DRIVERS
Install Motorola 64 bits drivers (32 or 64 bits depending on your Windows version).
Then plug Moto G to PC and let the install go on.
3 ) BACKUP YOUR DATA
When your phone is connected to Windows, search for all .jpg, .mp3, .mp4 files on your phone and make copies on your PC.
Then, with an app like Backupyourmobile, backup all your SMS, MMS, contacts.
Make sure the backup is located on microSD card.
4 ) UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
Update your Moto G to the latest official Android 5.1 Lollipop.
In Android, go to Settings > About > Updates. Make sure you have latest version.
Then, go to Motorola website (shortcut in my archive or right below):
https://accounts.motorola.com/ssoau...ct/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b[/URL]
Subscribe using your Google Account or email.
Shut down phone.
Power it on in fastboot mode: Hold Power et Volume- during 3-4 secondes and release.

In Windows, select the /flash subfolder you unzipped from my archive.
On keyboard, make a combo Shift + right click -> Open command windows here.
Write this command in Windows terminal :
Code:

OKAY [ 0.146s]
Select all text -> right click -> select all.
Open a notepad editor, and paste text.
Rework the text to get it on 1 line, and remove all spaces and "(bootloader)" messages.
It should look like this : 0A40040192024205#4C4D355631323030373731363031303332323239#BD008A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F951A3E5#1F532800020000000000000000000000

Use this unlock key in the following Windows command :
Code:
fastboot oem unlock YOUR_UNLOCK_CODE
Confirm with enter and wait a moment ... till success is confirmed : "Unclock Completed, wait to reboot",
don't disconnect it from PC !
phone reboots to Android with a blank screen "Warning, Bootloader unlocked".
Keep Windows command opened.
4 ) FLASH RECOVERY & BOOTLOADER LOGO
Shutdown phone again.
Power on in fastboot mode: Hold Power et Volume- during 3-4 secondes and release.
In Windows command, use this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.5.0_9-0-peregrine.img
confirm with Enter.
Terminal confirms : "Finished. Total time: 0.670s".
### In bootloader screen, you see error "mismatched partition size (recovery)" ? No problem. TWRP is smaller than stock recovery.
### For future TWRP updates, TWRP binary can be flashed from TWRP recovery itself (Install > Install Image)
Now, on the phone in fastboot mode, press Volume- to select the Recovery option. Confirm with Volume+.
Welcome to TWRP 3.5 recovery.
TWRP asks for Keep System Read Only ? -> check "Never show this screen during boot again" and Swipe to Allow Modifications.
### You don't see this waring screen? Then you'll get "TWRP unable to mount storage" while trying to wipe partitions.
### > in TWRP, go to Reboot > Recovery so Recovery will refresh and popup the partition writing privilege.
5 ) WIPE PARTITIONS
In TWRP home screen, go to Wipe > Format data.
Type yes and confirm to format partition.
Go to Wipe > Advanced wipe,
select Dalvik, Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage (if you really made a backup from step 2), then Swipe to Wipe,
then back.
### Don't try F2FS, it won't work.
Go to Reboot > Recovery.
Let phone reboot.
6 ) FLASH ROM, OPENGAPPS AND BOOTLOGO
Back to TWRP Home menu. Then tap on Install > choose lineage*.zip,
(if you don't see the files, tap on Select Storage and make sure Micro SDCard is active).
then Add more Zips > BiTGApps*.zip,
optional: then Add more Zips > logo*.zip,
then Swipe to confirm Flash.
Wait for operation to end.
### Don't flash Magisk now
Then tap Wipe cache/dalvik, swipe to confirm,
then Reboot System.
Wait for the phone to boot during 10 minutes.
7 ) ROOT ACCESS AND DEVELOPER MENU
With Magisk, you are root once phone is started. No extra manipulation needed.
For developer menu: open the Settings menu > About Phone.
Tap on the "Build number" entry seven times. You should be notified, that the developer settings are now active.
Now go to Settings menu > System > Developer settings.
Switch Advanced restart on.

Reboot.
You are root.

Install Greenify, grant Superuser privileges and follow tutorial to set as System app.
Switch on:
- Smart hibernation > Enabled

How to unbrick Your phone, decrypt it, and flash everything right way

Okay, if Your device is bricked, decryption failed or 'Force Close' pops-up every second, You are in right place.
Because I'm not active here, just add those underlined words to bit(dot)ly/
1. Resources:
Rescue Package:
P2RescueXDA
OpenGapps:
GappsXDA
Magisk:
MagskXDA
ADB and Fastboot:
ADB_Fastboot_XDA
ABD and Fastboot Drivers:
MinimalADBXDA
Before You try to unbrick - install ADB + Fastboot Package and Minimal Drivers
2. Unbrick and install Stock Firmware
Go to Bootloader:
if You have TWRP use [Power] + [Vol-] + [Vol+] (Recovery) > Advanced > Terminal > 'reboot bootloader'
Plug Phone to PC and open CMD or PowerShell
run 'flashall - twrp.bat' and wait few minutes
Your device is now unbricked
3. If You've tried to fix something on Your own or want to do Super-Clean Flash
USB Debugging is need! If not activated, do it now!
In CMD/PowerShell type 'adb reboot bootloader'
type 'fastboot oem unlock'
I know, You for sure have already done this, but trust me and do it again
now type 'fastboot flash recovery [recovery.img]' and 'fastboot boot [recovery.img]' where [recovery.img] is path to Your recovery file
Your phone should automatically reboot to recovery.
check 'never show this message again' box and swipe right
[!!!] You are going to reboot to recovery a lot, don't ask - just do it!
after swiping right go to [Reboot] > [Recovery]
[Wipe] > [Factory Reset]
[Wipe] > [Advanced Wipe] > select [Data] > change Filesystem > F2FS
[Reboot] > [Recovery]
[Wipe] > [Advanced Wipe] > select [Data] > change Filesystem > EXT4
[Reboot] > [Recovery]
[Wipe] > [Format Data] > type 'yes' and press Enter on Phone keyboard
[Reboot] > [Recovery]
[Wipe] > [Advanced Wipe] > select [Data] > change Filesystem > EXT4
[Reboot] > [Recovery]
press 3 lines (bottom right, on nav bar)
check if there's no errors (red lines)
[Wipe] > [Advanced Wipe] > select [System] > Wipe (swipe right)
[Reboot] > [Recovery]
4. How to flash everything
Method 1: Using TWRP Install
Method 2: Using ADB Sideload (faster, because You don't copy zips to SD)
To use sideload, in TWRP press [Advanced] > [Sideload] and swipe right
First install ROM.zip and GAPPS.zip
After that, REBOOT to system and set everything up (google account, fingerprint, blah blah blah)
Go back to TWRP
NOW flash Magisk and other stuff such as custom boot animations and other flashable zip's
Happy modding, wiping and flashing, friends

Try 'fastboot oem unlock' in bootloader mode (forced wipe). If not working, try using first method and leaving phone in this loop for an hour - maybe it need time

lineages OS and twrp bootloop possible cause

Investigating right now why fresh twrp 3.2.1.0 and sideloaded lineageos 16 with addonsu, arm64 for oneplus2 does reboot fine but once you go into twrp and change time and language you and up with bootloop.
After installing twrp and setting timezone and language to your timezone and English (might be set), lineageOS 16 ROM sideload install does reset it to central time and no language selected setting.
Checked settings after first reboot, left at central and ended up in bootloop.
After successful install as in lineageOS howto (every step) and enabling developer option without touching any of the dev options, i shut down and manually booted to recovery vol down+power.
Didn't touch anything just clicked to reboot system and ended up in bootloop.
Another run from scratch.
Note1: Not using any lock mechanism during tests, no pattern etc., BT disabled, wifi setup done
Note2: I see no errors during sideload but i wonder if OEM unlock might be the problem which i executed every time.
Note3: It seems that visiting twrp recovery after successful install and various successful restarts from lineageOS (without visiting recovery) cause this bootloop and if yes, why?
Note4: I was able to boot lineageOS when disabling the offered prompt to install twrp app and the option to install it as system app, might this cause the bootloop without having gaps installed?
Now that i am not experiencing bootloop i enabled Developer Options and didn't touch anything in there. Shut down and Booted up succesfull afterwards.
Powered Off and manually entered twrp recovery. Rebooted successful out of twrp.
Enabled Advanced Restart in Dev Options and went with Restart and Recovery.
In twrp > Reboot > System successful booted.
Enable Root Access for Apps only and reboot into Recovery, from there reboot System successfully.
Just to make sure, shut down and Power up again, successfully.
Default USB configuration set to File Transfer and copy over contacts.vcf, turn off File transfer, import vcf, followed by a restart into recovery.
Again in twrp > Reboot > System > successful booted.
Time for, adb backup --twrp
Back in LineageOS install/update F-Droid.
Again in twrp > Reboot > System > successful booted.
Install adaway give root access and accept to reboot without going into twrp, successfuly.
Update hosts file in adaway and accept to reboot without going into twrp, successfuly.
Quick check, reboot through recovery went successful.
Taking a break from testing. Not sure what the bootloop cause is for now, except the twrp app install system offer?
