How to recover Moto G6 Play user data without erase/wipe (or unlock bootloader)? - Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers

I had a problem with a Substratum Theme. It was using the theme "Swift Black Substratum Theme +Oreo & Samsung theme" and appeared a UPDATE from Motorola. I did the update and forgot to remove the Substratum. It turns out that the cell phone has lost access to the interface. I can only see the clock. Applications generally run in the background. Like Whatsapp. I had a password and a fingerprint.
I've already done the unlock bootloader procedure, but it will wipe the data. I can not do it. Any suggestion?
Cheers.

Substratum has a flashable zip file you can use to disable substratum l believe. Try searching for substratum rescue zip or substratum recovery zip and see if you have any luck.

Thanks for the answer. Found https://forum.xda-developers.com/ap...stratum-rescue-archives-t3652435#post77805990 and I tried what he suggested, but it did not work out very well.
I had "adb sideload "E:\MotoG6\platform-tools\SubstratumRescue.zip"
Total xfer: 1.00x" ==> Doesn't work. Says "Signature verification failed." and "Footer is wrong" "Installation aborted".
I believe that would solve my case. :/

Try fastbooting TWRP and connect via PC and flash the recovery zip? Maybe that would work?

I can´t use TWRP for now. There is important data on the smartphone. In order to install TWRP, I need to unlock the Bootloader and for this the smartphone will wipe the data.

Sorry Bro, but I think the only way to get your phone working again is flashing stock or maybe with factory reset

At this point I think you're only option is to unlock the bootloader. Take this as a lesson learned. If it's important the best place to store it is an SD card or cloud.

Recovering Possibly Bricked OnePlus 3

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone have any instructions as of right now on how to recover a potentially bricked OnePlus 3? Doing some googling around yielded me to the conclusion that my OnePlus 3 bricked itself.
Thanks!

Fastboot on op2 is already a mess and we don't have enough info of what could happen in op3... best avoid fastboot except for flashing twrp
Flash the stock ROM through twrp

Your oneplus bricked itself?
are you sure there wasn't a human involved in the process?
As other people says, you're the first one with a " bricked" device, so please tell everyone what your device status is, and how it got bricked.
did you unlock bootloader, did you have root? as much info as possible..

Why a mess?
Fastboot itself is very simple.
fastboot flash <<partition you need to flash>> <<file patch>>.
Is it different from the "common" fastboot we can find on a Nexus?

I can't OEM unlock in developer options as I no longer have access to my device
PM answered
Experiencing the same problem here.
I had the same in other thread. OEM unock was disabled. Do You have working stock recovery or TWRP? If stock works You can flash stock rom by ADB sideload.
My bootloader is locked so it's showing FAILED (remote: Partition flashing is not allowed) and cannot get into recovery.

try this:
http://www.androidbrick.com/unbrick-oneplus-one-two-3-qualcomm-hs-usb-qdloader-9008/
you need the OnePlus3_Unbrick_Tool_Full.rar to unbrick your phone, i was also in your situation,
you need also the Qualcomm_Diag_QD_Loader_2016_driver.exe with this two tools you can flash to restore the OP3
me helped al lot this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/onep...icked-t3405700
a had a success with this part How to Make the device show as Qualcomm 9008
it is important that you have the correct driver installed on your pc that the phone will be recognized as Qualcomm 9008
I did the exact same stupid thing... locked bootloader before flashing stock recovery.
This post saved me:

I used method 2 in the post which wiped everything but at least i got the phone back.

Since im a new member I cannot post links so ill have to give you directions.
Search google for Hard Bricked OnePlus 3 and it will be the first one called Mega Unbrick guide.
Use method 2. Ive used it multiple times when flashing goes wrong on my oneplus 3.
Another step, download the latest stock recovery from OnePlus and name it recovery.img and replace the one in the folder. You should understand more when you have all of the files.
You can download the latest recovery from OP at the bottom of the page linked here:
Google OnePlus 3 beta download and it should be the first one saying community build.

Softbricked Nexus5x with bootloader locked and factory images

When removing TWRP and flashing my phone back to factory images, I received a size issue on the main image. I then manually flashed each .img using fastboot. Lastly, assuming it was good, I was an idiot and locked the bootloader.
Is there any way to recover from this using adb and sideloading? I have the factory recovery image working, locked bootloader but nothing else. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm curious if you did anything other than what you listed, because Allow OEM unlocking that was set from Developer Options should still be one given what your described actions.

You are trying to flash TWRP with a locked bootloader and it obviously fails. Download the full official ROM from OnePlus site and the corresponding recovery also. First flash the recovery and reboot to bootloader and then flash the OS and reboot. If you are successful, you can enable Developer Options and from there OEM unlock and USB debugging. Thereafter you can try TWRP, Magisk and other ROMs.
Hmm, I thought he said he can enter bootloader and recovery. If so, reboot the phone in stock recovery and flash full Rom from local update.

NO.
So that is where you are committing a mistake. You have not been reading the posts carefully.
All of us are asking you to download the STOCK recovery compatible with the version of the stock ROM chosen by you and to FLASH THE STOCK RECOVERY FIRST, NOT TWRP.
Because TWRP can't be flashed with a locked bootloader whereas the stock recovery can be flashed from bootloader. Then go for the ROM, sideload it using adb and boot.

Clean Dump for Mate SE

Been asking around for this in multiple threads and have gotten nothing. So I decided to just make a new one. If ANYONE has a backup I can use in order to restore it via TWRP, then PLEASE share it with me. Whether it's a Mate SE backup or an Honor 7x US variant backup, I'll take either.
That makes 2 of us

1-first got to fastboot mode in phone(vol down+ power) then connect phone to pc doesn't matter if the hisuite pops up in pc or not.
2-after connecting open adb shell from the directory where you have installed it in your pc(go to the folder and press shift+ right click of mouse then select open command prompt option).
3- type - fastboot devices , if some number appears then it confirms that the device is connected, if it doesn't appear then close everything in pc and disconnected your phone then power off the phone and then connect it to pc then open adb and type adb reboot bootloader - this should restart your phone into fastboot mode.

It doesn't look like this is supported (at least not on MY L24 variant). I don't know if the mount points are identical from one variant to another but they are posted here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/development/mount-partition-layout-profile-xml-t3727990 (Nougat) and https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/development/mount-partition-layout-oreo-t3764506 (Oreo). (The TWRP versions in the Multitool are from the OP of these two threads.) And some other posts showed the adb shell commands (and batch file) to backup stock recovery to the external SD card. I think for Nougat, they are:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p29 of=/external_sd/recovery.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 of=/external_sd/recovery2.img
Stock recovery for the L24(?) can also be found in one of the threads here. And finally, the 7X has dual recovery so I ended up flashing TWRP to eRecovery (fastboot flash recovery2 TWRP.img) leaving the stock recovery in recovery1 for OTA updates. Then I use "adb reboot recovery2" whenever I need TWRP.

For the most part, yeah. Booted up and everything but for some reason I couldn't install Magisk ?

FYI, I installed supersu from https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/how-to-root-honor-7x-international-t3716056 using the TWRP from MultiTool on my L24 and it appears to be working okay.

Didnt work on my SE L34. Still boots into EMUI eRecovery. Oh well. I'll wait a bit longer.
I had to overwrite the recovery2 partition with TWRP to do it, but here's an almost complete backup of the stock firmware for my Mate SE: BND-L34C567B130.zip

By almost complete, what exactly is it missing?

The original contents of the recovery2 partition, which had to be overwritten with TWRP to do the backup. I believe it was identical to the recovery partition, but I was never able to confirm.

Pretty sure it is. I'd flashed the same honor 7x stock recovery image for both my partitions in the past. Regardless, both my partitions use TWRP at the moment, so this doesn't bother me. Thanks a ton!

So restoring your backup was successful. However, for some reason the updater is completely missing. Therefore, I can't check for updates anymore. Also, in the "About Phone" section at the bottom it says, "Custom Version - CUSTC567D001" which I don't recall ever seeing before. Does this have to do with your recovery partitions being modified?

Any working TWRP for EMUI Oreo 8.0?

"fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" doesn't work. Gives me an "FAILED (remote: partition length get error)" error while I tried to flash TWRP that I downloaded from "unlock bootloader" XDA page. I have unlocked my bootloader, but couldn't install TWRP and proceed further. Noob here. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
This is what I got:

number 2 is correct, as long as your twrp.img is correct oreo recovery.
number 3 has put twrp into your (boot) , this is possibly a bad move.

Im on oreo and am using this twrp on my L24 https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-lite/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3783447. I used the 0.3.img. I've used it to backup and then flashed magisk 16 with no problems.

Did you make the backup through TWRP or ADB? I'm using the same one and every time I go to make a back up it fails at system.img. Also do you know how to use decryption with it?
stuck on logo screen

Hold upppppppp.
Don't use Huawei p10 recovery. I tried it and it just got me stuck on the TWRP splash screen.
Just do "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk complete_twrp_ramdisk.img"
I use this and it works flawlessly.

I would advise not to flash SuperSU. Magisk is the way to go. And you don't give enough details so I (and other people) can't really help you.
You're flashing it through TWRP?

When I first installed the p10 recovery it did hang up on the splash screen for at least a minute. But, now when I enter recovery it hangs more like ten or fifteen seconds.
