I have recently unlocked my bootloader using sunshing, and installed twrp 2.8.0.1 as my custom recovery. I do not have any problems flashing stock based roms but when I try to flash cm11(or other) based roms I'm always met with:
Code:
This package is for "xt1052, ghost, xt1053, ghost_retail, xt1055, ghost_usc, xt1056, ghost_sprint, xt1058, ghost_att, ghost_rcica xt1060, ghost_verizon" devices; this is a " ",
Code:
E:Error executing updater binary in zip 'location-of-rom.zip' :
These are roms from the Moto x xda forum I'm trying to flash. Any help is appreciated as ive searched for hours for a fix or someone having the same problem on my device with no luck.
I tried to RSD back to 4.4.2 19.5.3 stock where i started, and took all the ota updates, flashed twrp 2.8.0.1 through fastboot. Tried flashing a cm11 rom from the moto x "crdroid" and same errors as usual. Can anyone offer any assistance? The only roms that are flashing correctly are based off stock. Is there something in the rom zip i need to modify for my phone?
Having Similar issues
I am running into the same issue, I loaded the eclipse rom on to my phone and it does not matter which version or location I download it from the rom boots minus the red filter and is terribly unstable. I am in the process of trying to Fastboot Venom, but so for nothing else is recognized.
You have to modify the met.inf file to flash these roms.

What would you recommend as a how to do so? I have been researching and I am finding the folder but not what part to modify.
Could you elaborate a little Archangel? What do I need to change specifically in the file? And where can I find it?
Sorry didnt see the response,,,you need to the Team Gummy thread in this area
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2676291&page=9
and follow the directions I asked another user. It involves unzipping and modding the meta.inf file and take out some file numbers so the install will not look for specific phones.

Hey guys,
Im quite new to android and all that comes with it regarding flashing roms. Now i've had the mi mix 3 cn version since october and been wanting to flash to the global rom ever since. So far i have unlocked the bootloader only on my Mix 3. Now Ive started doing some experimenting with an old one plus 1 device of mine before i fully try it on my mix 3 (and **** it up) and so far been able to unlock bootloader and install twrp. But it seems i cant get through the rooting part because every time i download supersu.zip (on my mac) it doesnt actually show as a zip file. So when i copy/paste it into the oneplus directory and try to install through twrp, basically nothing happens because its not a zip file. Is the solution as simple as: " i should just download the same file using Windows??"
Magisk:
in order to root my my Mix 3 and Oneplus 1 i need to install and run Magisk. But after installing it and opening it, it always says 'Magisk is not installed" and under that "Magisk Manager installed".
Question 1: How to fix this.....
Question 2: Do i need to root my Mix 3 in order to flash the global rom?
Currently running MIUI 10.2 Stable 10.2.2.0(PEECNXM)
Many thanks!
Safari unzips after downloading. You can disable it in the settings I think.

You do not need to root your device to flash it to the Global ROM. Unless you need root for something specific, I would suggest forgetting about TWRP and root and using fastboot to flash to the Global ROM. You can find the fastboot flashing guide, here. Click on fastboot, read the instructions, download the correct fastboot image for the Mi Mix 3, unzip it, boot your device into fastboot, connect it via USB to a Windows based machine, and run the flash_all.bat. The device will reboot when finished.
Thanks!

Ok thanks! Will definitly check it out. However i would like to get twrp working as well even just for the sake of it. But every time after i do the "reboot flash recovery rocovery.img" cmd it keeps booting into either the normal OS or into fastboot mode. Ive read about installing the force disable encryption zip file but how do i install that if i cant boot into twrp?

Which TWRP are you flashing? When I was attempting to root my Chinese Mi Mix 3 running the GLobal Stable ROM, it was very hit and miss getting TWRP to stick. I couldn't get fastboot reboot-recovery to work for me so I had to power the device off after flashing TWRP and then hold Volume Up and Power until it vibrates again to get it into TWRP.
To root in that particular situation (Chinese device/Global ROM), you need to flash this region hiding thing right after you flash root. My device kept bootlooping so I gave up and used fastboot to debloat the ROM, which took a few minutes compared to the almost hour I spent on trying to get TWRP to stick and try to get the device rooted. This is one of my many gripes with Magisk root and how inferior it is to Chainfire's discontinued implementation.
Final stage!
Ok so my last post can be ignored as i was finally able to boot into twrp and also installed magisk so now my device is rooted.
I have now uploaded MIMIX3GLOBAL_V10.2.2.0 PEEMIXM into my phones directory.
Now before i install it thru twrp.... Do i need to wipe/erase/clean my phone first? Or can i just install it without doing so?
Many thanks in advance!

You can dirty flash it. It's just a minor update. The current beta will bring some new features though, once it is released in the next stable version.

ok fair enough. However I have a situation now... after installing the process goes into a loop after selection china as region. The last small message it gives is "find device quit unexpectedly" and then it loops for 5 minutes untill it boots into recovery mode. Here i can only choose boot system (which will go into the same loop again), wipe data, or connect to MIUI assistent...
What did i do wrong?? Did i flash the wrong rom?

When cross-flashing, clean/factory reset is always the way to go. With TWRP though, there seems to be some sort of region options not changing issue. There are a few ways to work around it I personally never bothered with, but I have flashed two Chinese devices via fastboot with the Global Stable ROM and haven't ran into the region issue at all.

Fastboot is the bootloader. Once you boot your device into the bootloader (Volume Down + Power), you can use ADB through the command prompt to flash TWRP or just flash the Global ROM properly. This thread on it is still very relevant and useful.
Got it!

Thanks guys, after a few long days ive finally succeeded to flash a global rom for the first time. Nxt step, try to get all my apps/data etc back. Hopefully i made a correct back up...
Hi. For some reason, I'm not able to make my phone working with any custom ROM but MIUI ones. I tried the guides about flashing the 9.5.9 first, flashing the firmware but still, every time I flash a custom ROM (with flash result 1 in TWRP) and I reboot into the system, the phone keeps rebooting quickly after displaying only the MI logo. Apparently it shows that there isn't a valid firmware installed, but I followed the guides with no success. Any advice? Thanks!

Hmm, unofficial twrp 3315 by mauronofrio?
Which device variant do you have, china or global? And device code name are perseus(4g)?
I suggest make a clean flash (without relock) with miflashtool, then install any new EU rom, after that try flash RR, with these step nothing could go wrong.

Yes, It should be the 3.3.1.5 by mauronofrio; my Mi MIX 3 is the global version and right now I'm using the MIUI 11 9.10.10. What version of MIUI should I install using miflashtool? Thanks!
I cannot get data decryption with Android Q on any of the twrp builds.

Try last global beta 9.6.27, its the most stable with new feature, even better than global stable.
Then install any eu miui10 rom newer than 9.6.27, after that install custom rom.
Remember to boot up after each install, not necessary to complete set up, just boot up to welcome screen.
you saved my life

Even though the thread is quite old I have exactly the same problem with no suggestion here in the forums working to fix it
Can anybody please help me getting this figured out. My goal is to install the Pixel experience Rom for perseus (non 5g) posted here.
You MUST FORMAT data partition when you install anything from stock roms. It should boot after you format, and I'm not saying with the rm -rf option in settings if you have TWRP. It must be a full format of data. I know some of the older ROMs used to take many minutes to boot the first time (like up to 10). I am not actively developing for android after they turned on the hardware backed verity states and broke Google Pay with unlocked bootloader, I left android.
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.

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 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 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.

If the issue is with mounting the storage where your, whatever it is you're trying to flash, then put that file on an external drive and connect it to your phone via an OTG cable. Once you flash that zip in my last response, you won't have this issue. How did you root your phone?
Ok i unlocked bootloader, flashed stock pie rom, then flashed twrp but not latest one, because latest gave me mount error, i flashed 3.2.1 it solved my mounting problem, then i flashed janjan kernek then magisk. But problem is i lost most of functionalities of my phone(drm key lost) is there any way to restore it? Or is there any kernel?

Afraid not. There are steps to take to get temp root to back up those keys before unlocking the bootloader, and then restoring the keys after unlock. There's a whole thread on that here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...devonly-exploits-temp-root-to-backup-t3795510. I never bothered with all that and have not had any issues that concern me. What issues are you having?
Image enhancement doesnt work i think, and other camera function as well, any other function?

Yeah, I couldn't tell you. As for me the phone still does what I need it to do. As far as the camera it still takes the pics I need it to take. I don't social media so I don't need the special effects/enhancements people use for that. When it comes to taking pictures, that's what I have a camera for. My phone is for calls, text, and email and web search when I'm not near my computer. You could try other phone apps to see if they replace what's lost. I believe photo quality is as stock.
Sorry I mean video image enhancement, and i want to ask question, do you think i should stay stock rom or use one of these carbon, existenz...

Well same answer as far as video too.
I'm using eXtstenZ Pie. It's the stock rom with enhancements. It's stable and customizable. I would install the Aroma Add-on at the same time. I've tried Carbon but I had sim card issues, that may be resolved by now. There is also a Lineage 17.1 available but I don't believe it's reliable enough for a main phone. If you don't mind experimenting you could try that as it's Android 10. There's Tomahawk Project if you want barebones and get away from Google. CrDroid also out there. These last three I have not tried.
I am sorry but, i dont know so much about the android phones, I am using stock, exitstenz looks like custom rom, or is this modified stock? Because i lot changes and it doesnt have stock rom interface

Yes, it's a modified stock rom.
To flash it, i just need to fladh latest firmware then twrp, then magisk?
If you're already on .107, you're good there. Then from twrp flash eXistenZ then flash Magisk. If you're going to use Aroma Add-on flash it next and you should be good to go. Also, with this phone you can install twrp in recovery partition so you don't have to use a computer every time you want to use twrp. You have to unzip it and save the .img file to where you put all the other files you flash, then from twrp install the image to recovery partition. Then next time you need to flash something, hold power and volume down at the same time (after turning phone off) when the screen just starts to light up release the buttons and it'll boot into twrp.
Thanks, but i have a another question, i flashed 47.2.a.6.30 version pie with using emma, and used janjan kernel of the same version, everyting works without any problem, should i stay this version or i must update to the 107 then root my phone? What is the advantages of the janjan's kernel? and without any custom kernel can i root my phone after flashing 107 firmware?
Don't know anything about the janjan kernel and it's compatibility with eXistenZ. As far as firmware version just flash the eXistenZ version that matches your rom version, I believe there is a list on the first page of the thread that tells which file to use.

I don't know anything about the janjan kernel or it's compatibility with eXistenZ.
You can stay on that firmware if you wish. Just use the correct version of eXistenZ for it.
You can root any kernel once bootloader is unlocked. You loose root when you change firmware versions though.
