TWRP Compatibility - Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If I update my TWRP recovery, will it be backwards compatible to backups taken with previous version of TWRP?

I have restored old backups from newer TWRP versions without any problem. But probably there is any need to make a new thread for this simple question.

Without any information nobody can help you.
What rom?
Are you S-Off or S-On?
What recovery?
And so on. Nobody can read your minds.

did you do a full wipe before flashing the new rom?
also update your recovery to the latest version if you haven't done it

thanks i've updated but its still not working
Try any stock ROM and see if it works.
Make sure as it is very very important to wipe off your data and system partitions before you install a ROM.
Once your stock ROM is working, download any ROM update app from market and install the ROM you want.

You must first restore stock, then update your firmware/bootloader

Can I flash a Rom from android L?

So I'm thinking of testing out andorid l, ut after that I am going to flash a cusotm Rom. (on kitkat) so I know I can root android L, but can I install a recovery and flash the Rom form there? Or should I flash back to KitKat then root and install recovery then flash the Rom?
Thanks in advance

I've flashed "L" about 5 times since the factory image was available (I'm indecisive like that) and before I go back to a custom ROM I always flash the factory 4.4.4 just to be safe. I haven't run into any problems doing that, and it may be overkill ; but I can confirm that the method won't break anything.

you can flash L, then any other ROM you want after, from 444. I don't know about philz, but using twrp, you can wipe you system, which makes your phone romless until you flash another ROM. so you can flash 444, then flash L, then flash 441(if you wanted to).
I flash L via recovery, not via system image. it makes it much easier going back and forth

Clockwork mod backup problem

Hi, I'm having a problem with the latest clockwork mod 6.0.4.5. I made a backup of my rom and even if the operation was successfully concluded when I checked it I cannot find it in the related folder. Any suggestion?
I'm on latest euphoria rom with latest elementary kernel. Thanks

You can, but if you're using Euphoria 1.1 don't use TWRP 2.8.6, it's got bugs. Try finding TWRP 2.8.5.2.
I used to use CWM, because it seems like a cleaner, more elegant interface (I know it's just a list, but it looks less amateurish) but after switching to TWRP I see no reason to go back.

TWRP issue

So I rebranded to bln-l22, installed Oreo and everything's good, but today I wanted to flash something but I discovered that for some reason I can't mount the /data and so I checked my file system and it was f2fs which is fine, so is there a fix for that ?
That's not an error man, it's because we don't have a fully working TWRP on Oreo yet. Actually there is only the TWRP that i assume you're using, the elemental rom TWRP by KingOfMezi.
At the moment, you have to flash supported files through fastboot. On an Oreo ROM/GSI, the architecture of our phone won't change, so the situation about TWRP is the same, but if I'm not wrong, at least GSIs can be rooted easily.

Yeah it works bro, as you'll know it only can't mount /data partition, but at least it allows to flash Magisk and ZIP/.img files.

Shashank you know more about this stuff than I do. Is the above guide safe because I don't want to put this out there if it puts peoples personal data at risk. I believe you can still encrypt the data but this stops it from being forced encrypted while installing the ROM? Not sure. Would like your feedback if possible. Thanks.

How to upgrade crdroid?

Hi all,
I am trying to upgrade crdroid from 7.13 to 7.14 but after clicking ok on the apply update screen it kicks me out of the updater page and does not install.
Can I just manually download the latest zip, boot into twrp and flash it over my current install instead?
Thanks
