[Q] cannot use Scott's recovery install tool

I'm following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1938129 to install TWRP but get a warning that adb is not a recognised command (see attached screenshot).
Have enabled debug mode on my tabled, so not sure what am I missing.
Thanks

You need the SDK installed and for it to be in the path or executing the command in the directory. Or, you could install TWRP via a terminal emulator, but you'll need to be rooted I believe. The easiest method is to download goo manager from the play store and use the install recovery option. (click the menu button in upper right corner)

Which would need root access, too.
As faustus1005 said, I'd check the PATH variable, and make sure everything is in the places it is expected to be.

After installing the SDK, I've installed TWRP via Scott's script.
Don't know how to root the device, though, as ther are no instructions. I can't post a question in the dev. forum as I don't have write access.
Thanks,
Leo

Use the search function, you will find lots of instructions.

Good. The dev forum is not for posting questions anyway. Ask your questions here.

Yup, the Motorola thingy is the latest. You can find lots of instructions, though, with the aforementioned search function.

Root & Recovery for LOCKED BOOTLOADER ONLY 18.6.A.0.182 lollipop5.1.1

Which recovery does this use and by who? Also maybe you should include information+links on how to replace kinguser with supersu as kinguser does not give the same root access permissions as supersu does

I think you shouldn't post files without giving credits or asking for permissions...
And what's even more, there was already a KingRoot tutorial already over here, so repeating the threads is completely unnecessary.

Pointless thread with no credits to the original devs/ops . May be before you post anything else you should read the forum rules....

Yes, it is necessary to ask for permissions AND give credits when using the work of another member.
You say you're new here, I suggest you read the forum rules again (especially Rule 12)
Thread closed as you violated Rule 12. Sorry.

[OP6/T] Effortless ROM Flashing...

I created a script that'll ease Custom ROM installation on A/B devices. The script is generic and will work w/ any rom, device.
General flash instructions:
-Flash OxygenOS
-Flash your Custom ROM of choice
-Flash Finalize.zip
-Boot to System
Download finalize script from here
#######################################
For the intellectuals: This script copies firmware to both slots, clears dalvik-cache and deletes the useless India partition.
Hope this saved you guys some headache while flashing ROMs.

Good job

New script in the OP, look there again

I used this same zip on my Motorola G7 Power device. It worked well and is no doubt a life saver. Does anyone know how this is different than finalize zip? I guess I could take a look inside both of them and try to determine what the differences are that way....

There's Finalize.zip I found and I think it is easier. Bacause all you have to do is flash the zip file after installing OOS and ROM with built-in TWRP, then format data and reboot to system. No reboot to recovery in between and save you time.

Finalize zip: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682890605
Finalize also deletes India partition.
Flash OOS, flash rom, flash finalize, format data, reboot system.
For some info on finalize see op on Pixen here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...ross-device-development/rom-pixen-os-t3969005

Did you take it down for a reason? It's still accessible through Lineage's website, and people are asking for it. Ask a mod to lock your thread if you don't want any more posts on it, brother

I said stop because you are posting incorrect file. Anyways, I also made a script called "Finalize.zip" which is the one I suggest people use and I've updated the thread to reflect the same.
Didn't check on XDA for a while cuz it wasn't on my mind, really.

Ah, alright. Not trying to be rude, just didn't get the idea from your previous response. Now that Finalize is up on the main post, I'll go ahead and edit my comment to say so

Yes I made the finalize thingy as well lol.
And PiXeN uses that in the official flash instructions so yeah, it works and is definitely the one I recommend you use.
Also, updated the OP.

How To Get Magisk To See Motorola Edge Stock ROM Image

I rooted my Motorola Edge (regular not +) and I'm trying to do this so I can do the Motorola software updates without wiping out my Android installation and starting from scratch. I need to know how the stock ROM image(which I have) needs to be named and where to put it so Magisk can see it. I asked for help in the Motorola + section here in this thread, but it was a ghost town. The one response I did get was very helpful as it's where I got the first link in this post from.
I found a little help here on another site. While that thread is regarding Magisk, it's using it with another phone, so I don't know how relavant it is for using Magisk with my phone. It says to put the file in /data/data on the root partition. Is that right? They also mentioned putting the file's SHA1 hash in a magisk config file, which I did, but it didn't help. It also said to rename the file and GZIP it, ending up with a file with an img.gz extension, which I didn't do.

Maybe not exactly what you are looking for, but I've posted some
