So i've been trying to put a custom rom on my one s i was trying the source v2 rom with sense 5 i have s-off hboot 2.16 bootloader is unlocked but i do not have supercid as i could not get fastboot to change it and no other options have worked and im not sure if thats apart of my problem im still on the stock rom im not stuck in a boot loop or anything but my internal sdcard space now has a maximum space of 49mb which isnt enough to hold a custom rom im not sure if the hboot has changed the partition when i go to storage in settings it seems as if it has given all my internal space to app storage which i dont know if i can mount that to my pc or not im on the latest twrp recovery and i have tried sideloading a rom but keep getting an error at 10 percent i have not tried any other roms yet. any help would be appreciated
edit: ok i now have supercid and still the same problem
That has to be a firmware problem. I guess you couldn't install firmware correctly. Download installation package from maksimusHD thread, enter bootloader, then ruu mod, flash firmware and flash firmware again immediately when you see the remote:90 error and flash the recovery. After that you should be able to adb sideload source rom

Did you ever figure out the answer to your problem? I am having the same issue. To prep for the Maximus ROM I updated to TWRP and flashed the hboot 2.16. Now my phone only sees just under 49 mb of space. I don't have enough space to upload a ROM to reflash. Not sure what to do!

Try wiping your sdcard via TWRP. That should solve the problem

I had the same problem, and I just want back to latest RUU and after that everything was OK.
You can try this if you want.

I ended up downloading the official tmobile ruu.exe and returning to stock. That fixed the issue. I was then able to successfully install Maximus ROM following the instructions online. Thanks!

Before to update to hboot 2.16, first time copy maximushd rom to internal card, flash from TWRP, reboot your phone in fastboot, flash the firmware after the guide u have in MaximusHD thread, and after flashing firmware flash TWRP 2.6.1.0 reboot your phone and enjoy.

Hi Guys,
I have tried many of the ROMs available however, for the most part, I get this error "error executing updater binary" in TWRP. I have also tried CWM and Philz recovery. The only ROM that installs is CM11. Does any one know what is the issue? Anyone got a solution? Thanks.
Current Recovery: TWRP 2.7.1.1
I'm the only one experiencing this issue?
Specifically which ROMs have you tried?
Transmitted via Bacon
I've tried the following:
AOSP from the Oneplus homepage
AOSP flapped
mahdi-rom
Team GUMMY
Are you checking the md5 when you download?
Transmitted via Bacon
No, I did not. However, having said that, would it really be the case of corrupt downloads across multiple roms? As well, CM11 installs perfectly fine.
I'll do some checking now.

It's possible, I'm just throwing out the usual causes of your problem. It wouldn't be the first time it's happened.
Transmitted via Bacon
Well, just re-downloaded AOSP from the oneplus homepage and flapped AOSP. I also checked their md5 hashes; they match. I will report back.
I'm getting this same message, except I'm getting it when trying to install the new OTA update. I'm rooted with custom recovery, but haven't flashed any ROM. After I download the update, I push "install update" and my phone reboots into TWRP to install the update, and then gives me the "error executing updater binary" error. I tried downloading the update manually off the web and installing it via TWRP on my own, but it gave me the same message. Not really sure what else to do at this point.

Just tried to flash both, both times I get the "error executing updater binary" error. I do not have the technical expertise to try to correct this.
Anyone else with any ideas?
Unzip the ROM that works and the ROM that doesn't with 7zip, then swap the update-binary from the working to the non. Rezip (set to store) then either sign the ROM or toggle SIG verification in recovery, then make nandroid, wipe clean, flash
By the way, what version do you have? 16 64? Chinese? Can you get bootloader info?

The ROM that works is CM11 nightly and the one that I would like to install is pure AOSP. Are you certain that their update binary files would/could be interchangeable?
And how to do you "set to store"? I use 7zip.
I have the international 64GB. And I am not sure how to check my bootloader.
I really do apologize for my newb-ness on this matter.
There shouldn't be an issue, but of course I can't promise as I don't know what specifically is going on in your case
When you choose zip, there you will have different compression options, choose store
Try
fastboot oem device-info

No worries, we all are noobs in our own ways

Hi have same problem here.
my Bootloader is unlocked, I have phone rooted, I use last bacon twrp version. I already clean all phone.
I could install any rom, finally I found cm-11.0-XNPH44S-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip with fastboot.bat file that helped me to recover my phone.
I did all steps from all guys I searched, I can't know why I always appear error "error executing updater binary".
I tried cm-12-20150124-NIGHTLY-bacon.zip, I tried BlissPop-v1.8-bacon-OFFICIAL-20150123-2230.zip, all same error. I also tried to install original cm-11, same error.
I don't know what to do more or why? I checked Bootloader is unlocked.

I'm having exactly same problem. So is this common problem or what? I had multirom and xposed framework but after uninstalling them both I get the same error again. I hope this does not happen when we are getting the Lollipop-update. Sry for bad enklish.
Anyone help?
Hi guys
I was trying some of custom rom on my OP6 and I wanted to go back to Oxygen OS. So i did a clean installation with system wipe and i flashed the last full OTA update. But since i can't boot to system anymore, TWRP always displays that there is no OS installed despite the fact that I've tried several rom . Is this the first time it's done this to me how can I fix it?

The best suggestion I can give you is to flash stock oos with TWRP, reboot to stock recovery, without flashing anything else, wipe data from stock recovery and startup system.. if it is working you can flash back TWRP and magisk if you need it
Just be careful because at your point is easy to lose all of your stored data

If you wipe system, then flash oos ROM, TWRP will think there is no os. You can just ignore and boot.
Wiping system then flashing any time will make twrp display "no os installed" it does this because it hasn't created files for twrp to check if you have a ton installed. Flashing twrp then rebooting to twrp fixes it.
Reboot to stock recovery?

Hi, need a little bit of support, since I'm new to this as well. I was in a working OOS open beta 25/28, but then I think I flashed the wrong zip (OOS 9.0.9?), and I was not able to boot to system. It kept going to "bootloader unlocked" screen and custom recovery. Currently in TWRP blu_spark 3.3.1-x v. 9.109, and it's showing me no OS installed when I attempt to reboot. I haven't rebooted to system yet.
All the folders in my /sdcard is gibberish... if I try to push a file to it, it says "Required key not available." I did remove all security/passwords from my phone before doing any updates/backups.
I completed a wipe cache/dalvik/system via TWRP, and flashed the OOS OTA stable Android 10 zip downloaded directly from OnePlus Support. Considering this situation, do you still think it's safe for me to reboot to system? Then how do I get to stock recovery from there--is that by holding down the buttons?

No, your internal storage Is like trash cause the last rom you flashed has older security patch than oos10. Your device Is now encrypted and wont boot to system. I Guess you have to erase all via MSN tool or fastboot signed rom. Even if you wiped what mentioned above, your problem still be the data.
Fastboot method?

Thank you for replying. I'm relieved that you know of a couple methods to try.
Is using "Format Data" in TWRP an option for dealing with the encryption??
For the MSN tool, can I use this one? Tried looking around, but it's unclear. "[TOOL] MsmDownloadTool V4.0 International (Oxygen OS 5.1.5)" https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...wnloadtool-v4-0-international-t3798892/page10
I would be more comfortable with using fastboot, but am I at any risk of having lost fastboot, or can I just turn off my device from TWRP right now and hold down the buttons to get there? Afraid to move out of TWRP right now, in case I can't get back. I do have twrp-3.3.1-18-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img that I can run from fastboot if needed.
By "signed rom," do you mean I can simply flash one of the zips here from fastboot? "[OnePlus 6][ROM][OTA][Oxygen OS] Mirrors for official Oxygen OS ROMs and OTA updates" https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3792244

I hardbricked my device about 10 times and i was able to recovery It even from a blank screen. Btw format data Will erase all your data but also the internal storage. About fastboot dont be afraid, go under twrp reboot section and reboot to bootloader. Then go under xda op6 guide section and search for mirrors for fastboot rom guide by Mauronofrio. He pushed my ass out the **** a lot of time.
P.s. Sorry but I dunno how to paste a link via xda app. Yes, ik! It's a vert newbie thing.

That's awesome, I'm starting to grasp how much of a genius Mauronofrio is, after so many people referencing his work.
In his guide, he says, "These ROMs can't be used to update or downgrade your phone but just to restore your phone, so don't use them to come back to oreo or to update from oreo to pie." This may be a dumb question, but how do I know which zip/OOS version to flash, when I don't have a functioning OS on my phone?

I talked with Mauronofrio in pm and he said me that you could solve your issue simply flash the ROM you want and format data after flash that one. Remember that your internal will be wiped but it would happen in any scenario we talked.

That worked! And starstruck that you were able to check that with him. I flashed Mauronofrio's fastboot ROM for 10.3.2 and it rebooted (WOW). I clicked through the Google setup pages and checked that my data and wifi worked.
I then went back into fastboot, booted M's twrp img, fomatted data, and then installed twrp-3.3.1-x_blu_spark_v9.109_op6.zip, rebooted into recovery.
Then I think I made a mistake, because I installed Magisk-v20.4.zip. It succeeded, but now I can't boot into system anymore. Is it too late to flash the 10.3.2 boot.img?

Someone posted a patched boot.img for 10.3.2, so now I'm rooted without TWRP. Priorities. Now all I need is for special characters and emojis to work Will keep an eye on other threads.
I'm learning a lot, thanks so much for all your help. You pointed me in the right direction when I was not sure what the hell to do!

I followed that thread for the first A10 release cause there wasn't a worked twrp yet. You are welcome man, when I feel myself usefull I always try to help.
So I am not an entire noob when it comes to these things, I've flashed ROMs on phones for 8 years now, but this Moto G7 Power screwed me up good.
I tried installing CrDroid from this post. I didn't even notice the A/B part at first, I went through all the usual steps, I booted TWRP, then flashed it, rebooted into the installed TWRP, flashed CrDroid, GApps and Magisk and rebooted, hoping to start Android up. At that part it all screwed up. The phone didn't boot AT ALL, and after a while I found that blankflash zip file and managed to get into the bootloader again. The only thing I can do now is boot into TWRP, not flash, and when I boot, the touchscreen does not work.
So, where do I go from here? I now only have an unlocked bootloader to play with. What are the exact steps to flash the firmware? Why do I need to flash firmware to slot A anyway? Isn't or wasn't there firmware out of the box on the device? The guides for this phone are vague and people write really short and rambling sentences in the steps and mention certain files out of the blue without explanation or download link.
1 - Which firmware file do I need? I have an XT1955-4 bought in a Dutch shop called Belsimpel with no sim. I assume it's an international variant. Here is a download list of all the firmware variants, but how do I know which one to pick? Will it wipe things like IMEI data? The box says the type is M3C94, and it seems to be this international variant.
2 - In the bootloader, what commands do I need to put into adb when I want to flash the firmware to partition A?
3 - When I boot into TWRP, my touchscreen does not work, so how can I even use it?
4 - The 'guide' in the CrDroid thread suddenly mentions copypartitions.zip. What is that file, and why do I need to flash it? It says I have to flash it in Slot A. Does TWRP give options to switch slots? I wish I could check but since my touch screen doesn't work in TWRP..
5 - During the actual ROM install part, the guide says Flash ROM.zip + TWRP_installer/boot.img ramdisk method Why do I need to install TWRP again? And what is the ramdisk method? How do you do that?
Can someone please explain in detail step by step what I need to do?

1. go to settings - system - about phone check build number, this is the firmware you'll need
2. there's a thread here regarding that matter check again
3. I'm not aware of this issue
4. you'll only need to flash that file once coming from stock rom - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261636295
5. because it be overwritten by lineage recovery.
ramdisk method is just another way of installing twrp back when we still dont have the installer zip

I only have the boot loader, no stock ROM. I wiped that when I tried installing CrDroid, as I have written in my post. So I can't check my firmware if I don't have ROM installed. And I know which thread you mean because I linked the list of firmware from that thread in my post.
The big issue here is the touch screen not working. I can't do anything inside TWRP.

I tried an older version of TWRP which didn't work either. I am not aware of Orangefox, but I don't see any mention, official or unofficial for the G7 Power. There's no mention in the G7 Power forum either.

No it is not. There's no mention of G7 Power in the search results. Only E5.

From the desktop search in this one I couldn't find it: https://t.me/OrangeFoxRecovery I didn't know there was a separate chat for each device. But thanks.
FWIW when this happened to me I did the blankflash thing to get it back to bootloader. Then I used the LMSA tool from Motorola to do a rescue/restore.
I also used LMSA to force the update to the most recent security update. In general, it seems a very useful utility.

I had this issue after blankflashing this temperamental device out of a brick. While in twrp you can do "adb shell" then "twrp install /path/to/zip" I think this has to do with new twrp versions on older firmwares

When i had this issue go reboot fastboot
then fastboot boot recovery.img or twrp as your boot img do what you need to do just dont flash it to boot only boot from it so you preserve your real boot should fix the touch screen part only time i had prob like this is when i flashed twrp to recovery without disabling dm verity etc. But I cant even get a stock OTA since I flashed twrp as recovery nor can I find a RETUS stock recovery.img so far if i had that I can update and keep magisk etc, then reflash twrp when im done.

The latest stock RETUS build i can find is here https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip but if i do that i will lose all my apps AGAIN etc I am trying to just get the stock recovery img from previous version so I can install the ota in magisk you just tap uninstall tap restore images to get stock boot as well then ota should work once its done go back into magisk and install to inactive slot but you will or could need TWRP A/B retention script so that you keep it even after ota...which you will first go in magisk tap uninstall restore images, but must have stock recovery not twrp installed at this time either from what i can tell, once ota is successful install the TWRP A/B Retention script but do this before you install magisk to inactive slot from magisk manager after that it should work. But I cannot locate a stock recovery.img thus far.... and I dont wanna redownload my apps right now, so I may just wait til I see a rom i really think ill like and say screw it.

I also installed crDroid and after that twrp-3.3.1-2-ocean.img was not responding to touch, but twrp-3.3.1-0-ocean.img works. (btw I was doing a fastboot -w in between.)
Edit:
Ah nevermind, I have it constantly when installed, with both versions.

I've flashed another stock rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/g7-power/how-to/guide-moto-g7-power-supra-flash-to-t3927138) and it worked with twrp-3.3.1-0-ocean.img not with the newest.

2 - In the bootloader, what commands do I need to put into adb when I want to flash the firmware to partition A?

You use fastboot commands in the bootloader.
The firmware contains a flash file with all fastboot commands you'll need.

3 - When I boot into TWRP, my touchscreen does not work, so how can I even use it?

TWRP has adb enabled by default. So instead of TWRP you can use
Code:
abd shell twrp --help
So you can use the basic functions like backup, install, and so on.
I had the same issue...
I'm not sure everyone is experiencing the same issue here, but I've been dealing with that exact problem the entire time I've had this phone. While this work around won't work every time, it will eventually work (for me within 3 tries). It doesn't matter if your "fastboot boot twrp.img" or running an installed version, all are the same. Even the latest 3.4.0.0.
As soon as you start recovery, start tapping the area of the screen where the "Advanced button" is in recovery. I mean tap as fast as you can, use two fingers if you need to. If it doesn't work right away, "adb reboot bootloader" and try again. I can get this to work within 3 tries. Its sucks and its stupid, but it works.

Again not everyone is experiencing this same issue. A custom kernel isn't going to help when its incompatible with my ROM. My stupid workaround works for "No Touch Screen Response" in TWRP as well as OrangeFox. Its happened to me in both. Happily cruising along on Paranoid Android Quartz.

The problem with the touch is the right driver needs to b installed that kernel I shared makes it work and stick I'm on it now go to tellagram group Moto g7 power support group both twrp and ofox there that works not the one from twrp it's self and the twrp there has some other features that one from official one has that don't work
This boot image gave me a touchscreen and allowed me to flash a regular twrp: hxxps://f.emvn.me/android-roms-and-stuff/twrp.3.4-kakarot.boot.img
Thanks to whoever made it.
Hello
Need kelp here
Problem 1:
When I try to install any Android 10 based ROM on my Violet, it ends up with an error 7 saying either " are you installing onto the correct device" or sometimes "requires firmware version #*#*#* even though I flash the latest Chinese firmware everytime I flash a ROM.
Obviously, I'm able to bypass this problem by deleting the 2 assert lines in it's script using note++
I also flash fcrypt disabler after ROM flashing.
But still OTA updates keep failing and leads to boot loops
Problem 2:
OK,
now am in ROM, I try to flash magisk now, that leads to bootloop too
So can't flash root
Any solution?
Also I use orangefox recovery

ROM installers that have that kind of assert are usually looking for a specific firmware version. Just flashing "the latest Chinese firmware" does not mean that you are flashing the specific version that the ROM's installer is looking for.

Your intervention, which I just queried above, could easily cause that. Secondly, there is a specific ROM (which will remain nameless) which forces you to use its own recovery for everything - including and especially OTA updates - and if you try using another recovery, heaven help you. If you have that ROM, dump it!

Ask your ROM dev. Or dump the ROM.

Like I said, I'm facing the same kind of problems on all kind of ROMs that I flash
I don't know if I've messed up my Violet but it seems to be like a permanent issue.
I flash fcrypt 'cause one day, when i was without my senses, I flashed a ROM without wiping the previous ROM's encrypted storage and I think maybe tht it was since tht day on tht I started to face these issue

For this go to File Manager, select data then change the file system from f2fs to ext4. Then the error 7 issue will get solved.
Note: This will format all internal data.
Go ahead! All the Best! Happy Flashing!!:laugh:
Flash 9.9.3 firmware version .. most of the roms require that specific version. Then flash rom ... Also flash magisk after first boot not right after you flash rom this might help !
