Hello everyone, I am happy to announce that I have successfully ported TWRP to the Moto Z4 (foles). This port is directly from the Moto One Zoom, and the only thing I did was unpack its TWRP image and change a few files to make it work with the Moto Z4. However, there are most likely a few bugs, so I’d appreciate it if everyone could test it out. If you do find a bug, then please let me know. I probably won’t be able to fix it though, because I am a noob and I used a YouTube video to port this TWRP. Anyways, I’m sure all of us can work together and make this TWRP work properly. Thanks.
Flashing instructions:
Open a command prompt in your fastboot folder
Type: fastboot flash boot_a twrp-foles-test-v4.img
Type: fastboot flash boot_b twrp-foles-test-v4.img
Then use the volume buttons to boot into recovery

Thanks for this release.
Can you elaborate about the fastboot folder? Is that on the phone or a PC? I'm a little rusty with rooting. Thanks in Advance!
The fastboot folder should be on the computer, because you need to use that to open up a command prompt to push the image to the phone. If you don't already have a fastboot folder on your computer, here's a link: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools

For me most of the GSIs didn't work out too well, and had some issues. I really wish someone would develop a custom ROM for this device.
Just wanted to drop in to say that the flash was successful. Got it installed without any issues. This is amazing!

I tried LineageOS 18.1, phhusson treble, crDroid, and HavocOS. All of them had bugs, for example fingerprint not working, flashlight not working, random black screens, etc.
Worked for me too! Off to flash some roms. Thanks so much!

You are most welcome. One thing to note is that there aren't any custom ROMs available for the Moto Z4 at the moment, but you can still flash some GSIs.
I'm researching some of these now, but haven't tried any. I'll let you know if anything good comes of it!

Lol that's a fake site generated by a bot, it'll tell you everything but won't give you the download link. The best place to look is on XDA or some other reputable source.
Currently I'm thinking about developing a LineageOS custom ROM for the Moto Z4 myself, but I've never done it before so it might be tough and take a lot of time.

I could use some help so I don't brick my phone. I have done a search or two on how to root this particular build and it's probably me - I don't think I have found any information to my question. On xda there was info on the superboot method from modaco that it only worked on ICS4.0.1. The GNex toolkit v7 does not have build IMM30d included. I purchased the phone from Google play and received it late last week. Is this build supported by any root method mentioned? Or will anyone link me to a method that supports the build?
My signature will get you running in a jiffy, sir.

Don't use toolkits. It's not that there is anything inherently bad with them, but having a program do everything for you without understanding how it is doing it means that you don't know how to fix anything if something goes wrong. It's better to do things manually and learn how everything works before taking the easy way through it.
Haha, alright. This is in the Q&A section and I'm sure as hell no developer. I'm coming from a mytouch4g. Had to use adb to downgrade from gingerbread to froyo to root it. Even after reading it over a couple times the directions were still intimidating. It looked like an easy option. Appreciate the input though.
I'll reiterate what others said...
You'll want to know that adb and fastboot are set up correctly, anyway.
They're EXTREMELY useful in countless situations.
I promise you that it'll be an easy process.

HA. sorry. if you are still willing to help real quick... the command 'adb reboot bootloader' brought up a bubble installing device driver.. android 1.0.. failed to install driver. I had already had the drivers installed. Idea?
Most likely, if you connect you device to Wi-Fi, it will receive an OTA update -- I think IMM76 (blanking on build number).

The driver needs to install TWICE: once when your device is booted normally, and once when booted into the bootloader.
I'm having a problem using juba's rooting method. It won't go into recovery mode. I'm using the same android and build as the fellow poster. Any help? It's just sticking on the google word with the unlock thing at the bottom when I try to reboot into recovery from the bootloader.
Hold down vol+ and vol- and turn the phone on. When the menu comes up, select recovery.
Just got home with it and it's 1.54...

Just went to HTC DEV unlock and chose "other supported devices" and did what the site said at htc dev unlock. Easy as heck.
I suspect that will be locked down in the next few days....maybe i'll bite the bullet and just buy a new one instead of waiting for used to start showing up.
For those who have unlocked already.. Want to test a recovery???... DO NOT FLASH!!. do a fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.6-m7vzw.img
It will not harm your phone in any way if you boot. If you do happen to flash it. You better hope the recovery boots. Or you'll have to wait for a working recovery to flash

Doing it right. Guess we'll have to wait for Indirect to get the boot.img or recovery.img out before we get a custom recovery. But if those don't work still. Then we'll have to flash instead of boot.

Hey guys, coming from a Nexus device and thinking about getting either the OnePlus 3t or the new 5, and I was wondering, for fastboot mode to work correctly, do I use google's usb driver from the sdk or do OnePlus devices have their own driver I need from somewhere else?

The drivers you have for Nexus devices should work fine with the OnePlus 3(T). I tested it myself, I don't need to switch drivers after getting the OP3, Fastboot detects it just fine with the old driver I had for Nexus 6P.

Awesome thanks! I hope to get the 5 when it releases! Those Pixel phones are just....... bleh. One more quick question, what is firmware all about? On a Nexus, you never had to worry about it at all for some reason, I notice with OnePlus devices, a lot of the rom threads say "make sure you have the newest firmware installed" and it's something I never had to mess with before. Thanks for all your help guys! Much appreciated!
With each OOS release there is a Firmware integrated, and if you switch to a custom ROM the firmware will not get updated so you need to flash it manually (there is a thread with all firmwares collected).

So simply put, just keep it updated yeah? Is there any harm in flashing a newer rom and keeping an outdated firmware?
I don't think it is a problem but the devs often test their rooms with the newest that's why they say you should use the newest, because they know it works

Drivers: The OP3 when connected to the PC/Laptop creates a CD drive on the PC/Laptop. It contains all the drivers you need for adb to work. As Puddi Puddin said, the minimal drivers themselves work, the CD drive is there just in case you need it.
Firmware: Some custom ROMs refuse to work without the firmware recommended for it. So just go by the recommendations of the developer and remember to check the firmware when you change/update the ROM.

Hello,
I have a device that I obtained through beta testing that has not been released yet. I am allowed to keep the device now that testing is over. I am not happy with the stock rom and some of the apps it forces you to keep. I cannot remove them through ABD either. There is no stock ROM image available yet. Therefore, I cannot port TWRp or root.
I stumbled on project treble. I ran treble check and it says my phone is supported as it came with android 11. It supports systemless updates and has A/B system partition. I really like stock android ASOP. Is there anyway I can flash a generic image? What's the odds of it working correctly? Since there is no image available yet and I cannot port TWRP I have to worrying about not being able to recover the device if things go wrong. I know you can flash without TWRP which is why I decided to ask about this. Would I have a better chance flashing roms for supported devices with similar hardware? How should I proceed?
Thanks,
Rocky
as long as you have a compatible custom recovery AND the stock rom in case something go wrong, you can flash any GSI according to your device's architecture

Since it is a beta unit I have neither as it has not been officially released. I have never flashed one of these roms so I do not know how well they work after flashing. I know the device has a pretty popular SOC which is a snapdragon 750g so I would assume if a gai runs good on another device using the 750g then it should work.

I tried this before it requires root. I just double checked and the prereqs say root required too. This sucks because the device has decent specs. It's just the ROM and software on it are crappy. After doing some reading the biggest thing I'm worried about is flashing and not having mobile data since it is a 5g phone. I read about someone else flashing and not being able to get their mobile data to work.

It's a beta device from TCL. It has not been released yet. I read that phh GSI should be compatible with all android phones with treble support. Therefore, I think I might just go for it. The only thing is if I end up with a bug I more than likely will probably have to figure it out on my own.

I think I might of found a solution. I am pretty sure there is a way to boot a ROM before flashing it. I could of sworn I read this somewhere. It was an adb command. It allowed you too boot the ROM instead of flashing it. This would allow me to preview the ROM before officially flashing it to the device. I just cannot remember where I saw this at or the command.
My goal is to get a working gsi installed. From there I would like to get TWRP flashed on the device so it can be rooted. If I would need to port TWRP I think I could figure it out. This way when the device is officially released it will have TWRP ready to go for it. Also, since it will have TWRP I will be able to start porting roms as soon as they release the system image.

Never heard of that this was just an adb command.
I just downloaded ASOP 11.0 v309. Treble info says my device requires system-arm64-ab.img.xz. So I downloaded system-roar-arm64-ab-gapps.img.xz and system-roar-arm64-ab-vanilla.ikg.gz so hopefully those are the right ones. One has Gapps and one does not. Was going to flash the Gapps version first and see how things go. Then if need be flash vanilla.
I got a problem with phone calls. When I dial out I get call ended. Incoming calls I can hear them ring but get no way to answer. Also I am not getting text messages.

I tried downgrading my Moto G30 from Android 12 to Android 11 using an available stock ROM I found on the internet. At first, I faced some problems and a soft brick, but finally, I was able to flash and boot it correctly. Then, knowing that the ROM flashed was "stock," I decided to relock the bootloader, which was a mistake. After rebooting, I got the message "No valid operating system could be found. The device will not boot."
I spent the whole day trying to figure out how to get it working again. The main problem here is that I relocked the bootloader and can't get to the OS again to enable the option in developer settings to re-unlock it and flash another ROM. I tried using RSA (LMSA) to restore it, but it refuses, and I think it gets the same error that won't let me flash anything to the phone.
During my research, I found that one possible solution is to boot in EDL mode and flash everything again, but I don't want to open my phone and do weird things to get into that mode. Hopefully, there's another solution or another way to get into EDL.
If you have any information that could help me solve this, please comment.
I had the same problem with mine. The thing is, i tried to flash a blank-flash image but it wont go. I think its to early to downgrade your Moto G30, but you can try to flash the stock image in EDL Mode by opening your Motorola. Also you might need to send it to Motorola. Sorry

Don't you need to just blankflash it in EDL?
And yes you most likely need to open it.
For the Blankflash you need to download Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant (since lenovo produces moto phones). What this does it installs the correct drivers for your phone.
And the files can be found here : https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/caprip/blankflash/
Good luck and as always, do your own research!

Isn't the point to flash the stock ROM, not to unlock the bootloader?

I think you can flash with Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant or manually, the XML is to flash automatically, you can flash manually each image.
If you cant maybe there is an error along the way.
I might look into this later. I would lock my bootloader to test but i dont have a backup.

That can be the end to your phone. But, if you have a test phone that would be excellent.

Lenove RSA doesn't work. I tried it. When the Bootloader is unlocked it work. When the Bootloader is locked it wont work.

I dont have a test device right now so i cant test myself, anything I say might be wrong.
This might be a complete brick because of the downgrade from what I've read.
There is little info on the forum about this issue so I don't want to make wrong suggestions until i can test.
Yes, unfortunately, there is still little information about the Moto G30. But I hope that there will be more information and solutions in the future.

Maybe you can help me with some info i am interested in.
1.You have booted into EDL using Short Pin method
2.You have used blankflash successfully
3.Then you try to flash manually and got Permission Denied?
For both Android 11 Stock ROM and Android 12 Stock Rom?
EDIT: Is the back of the phone glued? Or just clamps so you can put it back with no glue?
Since i want to test this soon hopefully.

1. Yes
2. I used a blankflash successfully.
3. Then in fastboot tried to flash the android 11 stock and after it failed the android 12 stock image. Also i tried the RSA varient. Both will not work.
The back is clicked in place. There are two stickers on the phone. Two white ones, One on the top left corner and one on the bottom of the phone.
But careful when you open the back. The screws are well screwed and the cap over the motherboard is slightly stuck. Maybe this will help you: Dissasembly Moto G30 YouTube
@U_ShowcaseDev Thank you so much! This is exactly what i wanted to know!
