[TWRP] TWRP/No-Verity Kernel for Moto E5 (Nora)(XT1944-2/-4)

Hi guys, today I'm going to explain you, how to use TWRP and also how to disable forced encryption
Very Important!!!!
Works for all ROMs included stock ROM
Take a backup of boot partition with TWRP in case of something goes wrong
Pre-requisites
1.- Unlocked Bootloader
2.- PC, drivers installed and plattform tools folder: https://www.dropbox.com/s/c3c8rev5e40gy5b/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip?dl=0
3.- TWRP for Moto E5 Play by @CodyF86 : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=3700668719832239867
4. No verity kernel by @MotoJunkie01 (Only for XT1944-2 or XT1944-4!!!!) : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NcyuFRgvvRiS5MT5Jxl3uS3XHCnULBMc/view
5. fstab.qcom by CodyF86 also: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=674106145207491856
Procedure
1.- While you have downloaded all necessary files, go to platform tools folder, and put there TWRP image
2.- Reboot your phone onto fastboot/bootloader, then open cmd and boot into TWRP with this code: fastboot boot twrp_james.img (don't try to flash it because it won't work, and you will need to do that in order to use TWRP, all the time!!!)
3.- While you are in TWRP, go to bakcup and select everything, put the backup into SD Card to prevent some accidents. (The time that it will take depends on how much things you have on your phone)
4.- When backup it's done reboot to bootloader and flash the no-verity kernel
5.- Reboot system
6.- Then use some root explorer, this one is free and very useful https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523691
7.- Copy downloaded fstab.qcom and go to vendor/etc, the replace the file with the new one and reboot
8.- Boot again into TWRP, and swipe for factory reset, then format data (Remember that you'll lost your data
9.- Reboot the device, and wait.
This method is easier than the other and works fine, if you go to settings/security you'll see that device is encrypted but if you open that option, you'll notice that encryption is gone.*

Maybe, try by your own risk, make a backup of boot partition because is the one that you'll need in case of something goes wrong

Thread updated, I've noticed that the previous method didn't work at all, and also I discovered that stock rom works fine without encryption, then if stock is decrypted, other roms won't be encrypted anymore

No verity kernel link is down pls re-upload it bro

hello first congratulations for this tutorial and your work, but there is a small problem with the famous no-verity ^^ it is impossible to download would it be possible to have new links? thank you in advance!!

Hi there. I tried a thousand times now ... no succeed. Everytime I try to boot to twrp_james.img the screen is not accessable anymore. No interaction possible.
Switching device off -> switching device on .... even the "swipe to unlock" doesn't work. I use Motorola Moto E5 Nora XT1944-2.
Any ideas?!

I have the same problem, I tried everything.
I'm unable to use TWRP (james).
after "fastboot boot twrp_james.img"
TWRP comes up with the Mount/dycrypt your data screen, a mouse pointer is visible in the middle. No user interaction is possible twrp doesn't seem to respond to touch screen user input.
Also the "No verity kernel by @MotoJunkie01 (Only for XT1944-2 or XT1944-4!!!!) : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ncy...XHCnULBMc/view" link is dead. Can someone reupload this files.
Does anybody have a fix for this problem? I'm using the Moto E5 XT1944-2.

I found a solution to use twrp on the Moto E5 Nora XT1944-2:
Use a micro usb to usb adapter (OTG adapter) and connect a mouse to you phone, now you can use twrp using the mouse.

Here is my no-verity kernel for xt1944-3 succesfully working
please OP add this to the thread!
https://www.mediafire.com/file/u52pxc21arlktn4/patched_boot.img/file

Can I install the No-Verity-opt-Encrypt zip instead of installing the kernel?

adb/twrp issues....

Firstly, when plugging my 7t in to my windows 10 PC, I am asked to choose which mode to go in within usb preferences, as I did previously in order to achieve and ADB driver connection I chose file transfer.......
this didn't work for some reason, only when in MIDI did I get a confirmation with adb devices.....even though there is still no sign of adb interface in device manager.....
any ideas? I can get adb connection with MIDI but is this good enough to flash recoveries/boot images etc....?
I tried to flash twrp and I could successfully boot into twrp directly via fastboot but twrp couldn't seen any of my storage, despite having all security methods turned off...
all i want to do is gain root access but I am having no joy....
ever since android 10 rooting anything for me has been a pain in the ass......truly fed up....it shouldn't be this hard......
I also flashed a patched boot image in an attempt to gain root access but it all did was break my wifi........which i fixed by copying over the latest image and installing locally......
please HELP....

Everything about this issues is already said in this forum.

Lots of people have. Just boot your version and use magisk to direct install and reboot then you have root

This isn't functional at the minute as TWRP, whether its flashed or booted from, cant get past the encryption.......it cant see/mount the internal storage....

You will have to wipe the data and then twrp can access internal storage.
This is how I did (in my phone, which is not Oneplus, but the process remain same for all phones), boot to fastboot mode and type this:
fastboot -w
Now, boot your phone to recovery mode:
(Now take complete twrp backup of your phone, and save it in your pc, before proceeding futher)

TWRP is not functional at the moment, so stay away from it.
The only way to root right now is to use the patch boot image method.

No don't do this.... This is not about encryption at all. It's about the major partitioning changes that has happened in Android 10. Wiping the system will just make everything worse.
Avoid using TWRP at all.

Oh, I didn't know this phone was on Android 10, Thanks for letting me know.
TWRP doesn't support Android 10 yet.
You can see it here
https://twrp.me/site/update/2019/10/23/twrp-and-android-10.html
Actually there is a twrp compiled for this phone, but that doesn't work , you can see the messages in thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t3976961
The steps I told, was for Android 9 and earlier devices, I assumed, this is an old device.
@mediaman123, So please wait, until twrp starts supporting the Android 10.
And for rooting, I am not sure, whether magisk supports this new phone or not.
Maybe @Lossyx can help you on that.

Seen this, however my device, the European version, is running on 10.0.6.....
The only boot images available with that post is the 10.0.3...
wouldn't feel comfortable using them.....
I would like to know how to extract the stock boot image from either the firmware file or the phone itself...

You can go ahead and just fastboot boot them. If it works then just proceed, if it doesn't, just hold volume up+down and power button. (To boot into fastboot or restart phone)
Nothing will change in the system because it only boots a temporary image.
If your want to extract your own boot image you can use this tool.

So if it boots an older image successfully I can move it over to the phone to patch to then flash it or use the already patched one and flash that...?..

Guys with this tool you can finally root your device without have to flash the specified patched boot.img. I hope it will help you and i hope you will not break anymore the fingerprint sensor. Enjoy it.

Would you be so kind to elaborate on that? I broke my fingerprint sensor by using a already patched img.. Kind of lazy mistake. But had the phone for just a day so I send it back and I'll be getting a new one tomorrow.
I would love to root it and retain my FP.

I would also like to know the steps. I'm looking at the tool and when selecting "Only Root" I can choose Magisk 20.4 from the list. The note in the tool says "or you can use 'Only Root' to root your phone you are already in TWRP mode." But as far as I understand there is no legitimate TWRP for our device yet.

So you should go in "recovery flasher and rooter" option, there you have to select the only TWRP available, check if "only boot" is checked, check "root after boot", select magisk 20.4 and click on the button at the bottom of the page. The TWRP will be booted and magisk flashed, and then from TWRP you can manually reboot to system and your device will be correctly rooted.

Thank you! I will be doing that when I get my phone.
It's actually just using your twrp build but instead of installing it, booting it and using twrp to flash the stable build of Magisk.
Thank you for your hard work!

If you lost fingerprint, due to Canary Magisk, just switch to stable Magisk, and reinstall the latest update. If you did a local upgrade the file is still in your download folder. Worked fine for me.

I'm having some trouble, any guidance would be appreciated. I have "only boot" checked and "root after boot" checked, and the phone just boots into TWRP and then hangs there. I've tried closing the command prompt and selecting "root only" but my device isn't showing up in the device list.

How to root?

Hi everyone
My phone model is xt2075-3,I want to root
Can I directly flash the latest magisk(20.4) to get root permission after unlocking BL?

I've succeeded in getting root.The steps are as follows
1.Download the twrp for your mobile phone,and magisk20.4.zip,magisk 7.5.1.apk
2.Visit Motorola official unlock website to unlock BL
3.You have 2 choice,A.boot on twrp one time;B.flash twrp;I choose A
4.Whatever your choose,in the twrp,install magisk zip,after done,reboot system
Enjoy root!

If you use the Magisk Manager to patch the boot image manually, and then flash that through fastboot - will that work also?
(My phone has yet to arrive so can't test this just yet...)

Update : i got the 8gb ram 128gb varient and i could boot into twrp from fastboot but i cannot flash replacing stock recovery nor i can see the internal or external memory due to decryption error
However, i basically unlocked boot loader and booted in fast boot then i flashed the patched boot.img ( installed magisk apk and added the stock boot.img inside the phone to patch it) then copy it back to pc and flashed it in fastboot mode and now i got root access
NOTE : if you happen to do something wrong you cannot use rescue and backup software to restore your phone to stock again ... flash stock boot.img in fastboot first so the software will recognize the phone back again

Get the full stock image by downloading rescue and smart assistant app from lenovo which supports moto phones ... Do login and get the fastboot rescue option while plugging your phone in the pc in fastboot mode .. then it will download it full firmware for your varient
Becareful that continue to flash the firmware will wipe your phone completely
After that get a copy of the boot.img file ... Copy it to the internal memory and install magisk manager apk from its official github site ... Now patch the boot.img you copied in your phone inside the magisk app then copy it back to your pc
Lear how to flash it from fastboot
Flash it
Done .. you are now rooted by patched boot.img with stock recovery !

I think the flash method fails because there is no partition called "recovery" - as an A/B device it looks like there are two:
Code:
nairo:/ $ ls -l /dev/block/by-name/ | grep recovery
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 1970-05-20 07:34 recovery_a -> /dev/block/sdd20
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 1970-05-20 07:34 recovery_b -> /dev/block/sdf20
if you have the Magisk zip file on the internal storage you can use the "fastboot boot twrp.img" method to flash it from there (for some reason TWRP can't see the SD card on my device)

Now for my question... my rooted (UK Retail) device has indicated that there is an OTA update:
I've tried using the method described here to restore the boot partition to stock so that it doesn't interfere with the process, but it fails (see attached images).
Does anyone know of a working method? I have downloaded the full (2+GB) update so am prepared to flash that (and restore everything else from backups) if necessary - but would rather not if it can be avoided...

Hi @xth88312 ,
can you give the link you used to download TWRP for Moto XT2075-3?

I unlocked my phone through the official Motorola site:
Unlocking the Bootloader | Motorola Support US
Visit the customer support page to view user guides, FAQs, bluetooth pairing, software downloads, drivers, tutorials and to get repair and contact us information.
motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com
I downloaded the latest Magisk and MagiskManager in the same directory from
Releases · topjohnwu/Magisk
The Magic Mask for Android. Contribute to topjohnwu/Magisk development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
I downloaded the original firmware from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/ and extracted the boot.img in the same directory, then issued, through the ADB connection:
Code:
adb install ./MagiskManager-*.apk
adb push ./boot.img /sdcard/Download/
(Replace the star as needed)
I opened MagiskManager app (you need to be connected to the Internet) and in the Magisk card I tapped Install > "Select and Patch a File". I browsed for and selected /sdcard/Download/boot.img and tapped "Let's go". A patched image /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched_*.img is created. Then, through the ADB connection, I issued:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched_*.img
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_*.img
fastboot reboot
At reboot, the phone was rooted.

[Simple method] Root N10 5G using Magisk for factory stock

First, as you might now, I am not liable if your phone would be bricked or damaged after this tutorial.
This method has worked perfectly for on my phone, which: OnePlus Nord N10 5G from Metro by T-Mobile. Build Number: 11.0.1.BE88CF. And it should work any rom stock
This tutorial is inspired by andreas__ from this topic. I recommend to take a quick glance before processing here.
General Info:
You need adb and fastboot installed and should know how to use it
You must do this process only once, afterwards you can follow the OTA survival steps
You need to factory hard reset the phone (very important)
Unlock the bootloader
If you are using locked metro by T-Mobile phone, make sure to request the "unlock token" in order to unlock the bootloader.
Google "How to Unlock Bootloader on OnePlus Phones | Unlocked and T-Mobile Variants" for the instructions
After you have unlocked the bootloader using this command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
The data will be wiped and it will do the factory reset
Create the boot image:
You need to pull out a clean boot image from your phone. I have used TWRP to do that
flash the latest twrp for this phone:
[TWRP][3.5.2_10][Billie]TWRP for Oneplus Nord N10 5G [BETA]
Use this command to flash it:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery Twrp_3.5.2-10_EduardoA3677-billie_OxygenOs11_Android11.img
boot the phone to twrp recovery, then head to:
Backup > select "Boot (96MB)" > Swipe to Backup
The boot image will be generated in the internal storage under the name "boot.emmc.win"
root and patch the image:
Restart the phone to the system, then download the latest magisk app
Make sure to allow "USB debugging" from the developer Options
Install and open the magisk app then tap on "install" (very top)
tap on "select and patch a file"
select "boot.emmc.win" which is the image that was generated by twrp
Magisk will patch it and place it in the download folder under the name "magisk_patched-23000_Obpf5.img"
Copy the patched image into ADB folder in your PC
flash the patched image:
Reboot the phone into bootloader mode
Then flash the patched image:
Code:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-23000_Obpf5.img
Reboot the phone into the system
Hurray! your phone now is officially rooted. You're welcome
I hope you find my instructions useful.

Reserved !!

Hate to tell you this but if using twrp just rename magisk apk to magisk zip and install zip it auto patches to the right slot for you and you just confirm the install via magisk in android

Exactly.

I lost root after the forced OTA on July 31/August 1. Today I followed this guide to install twrp, factory reset, then installed Magisk by renaming the APK and flashing within TWRP. However the SafetyNet check showed "Attestation Failed." I enabled MagiskHide and rebooted, and now pass SafetyNet.
Thank you for this very simple and useful guide. I was able to root with no loss of userdata, saving a lot of time that would otherwise go into creating a backup.

Why it wait forever for attached device, even removing and reconnecting phone?

You have to be in fastboot mode before you can flash the recovery. Reboot into fastboot by typing "adb reboot fastboot" (without the quotes). Your phone should then reboot into fastboot mode. NOW, assuming you have already unlocked your bootloader, you can flash the recovery.

If anyone is still having the OEM unlocking greyed out issue, you need to do the device unlock from your phone, select request permanent unlocks then your device will reboot, from there you can then head back into dev options and you will be able to OEM unlock. Hope this helps seems not a lot of people realize this I hunted for the answer all over only to happen upon it when I was about to say forget it.

Just to add to this.....If you are unable to use device unlock because you have not met your carrier's requirements to do so yet you can use the script at this thread and it will open up oem unlock even if your phone is not eligible yet.

I have the N20. No twrp. Flashed a patched boot.img and lost radios. No wifi Bluetooth or sim)mobile data. Hoping that the platform is similar enough that someone could help me recover my device. Phone was sim locked, not sure if that's the issue. I forgot to run the command from the debloat script after flashing the unlock token, shouldn't have rushed this. I don't have a backup of anything though. Was trying to get root to back up everything. Factory resetting did nothing to fix the issue

LOL never does at this level, just wipes cache and user partition, but nothing of value where we play- the assumption is you (or the bad guys) can't figure out how to write to the system, boot, etc partitions. (snicker).
So the good news is if you can find the EDL image, and follow the procedure to reflash the phone... it should restore everything for you.

(To be clear @PsYk0n4uT I linked you to the N10 EDL thread, not the N20...)

Thanks. So my issue so far. I don't think there is even a stock firmware posted anywhere. Though there is a backup of another device posted. How would I go about finding the EDL files for mine? Can one be created? Or would I need to source that from OnePlus or wait on someone to do that? I actually wasn't aware that I could boot the boot omg without flashing it to test it out first
