TWRP

[shomykohai]

Are there any progress on TWRP?
So we can update the documentation to

@GitFASTBOOT

Does this one boot yet? https://github.com/penangf/android_device_motorola_penangf-twrp/releases/tag/v1

I've made a guide to flash stock, useful in case of problems with GSI

It should come handy even if in case of bootloops with TWRP @GitFASTBOOT

Anyway,
the reason @progzone122 bricked the phone is Motorola making their download with fastboot script broken, and Diablo then followed it as any person would have done.
I'm just sorry that it happened and he cannot use his phone anymore, wish he could find a way to restore it for cheap or get a cheap g13 just for testing.

The correct way to flash preloader would be to flash it to boot1 and boot2, not preloader.
Even better, don't flash preloader at all and you'll never hardbrick the phone.

Flashing lk should be fine, but try to avoid it too until we check.

The phone will not break just by booting TWRP, only by flashing the preloader.

We don't risk bricking it

Also, in case you cannot boot to fastboot to reflash vendor_boot in case of bootloops, just use mtkclient:

mtk w vendor_boot stock_vendor_boot.img --loader MT6768_USER.bin

The phone cannot brick at all unless you erase preloader, it's almost always rescuable

Okay, hope you'll manage too make it work!
TWRP will surely allow a lot of people to start developing on this phone, it's worth it.

I'd help you if I knew how this stuff worked, but yeah I never built recoveries

I suggest starting work on custom rom instead of twrp i have already prepared sources i have to make the device tree only

Start with lineageos then, so you might have luck with lineage recovery too

And please enable the Camera2API, or integrate the necessary driver for the camera, I'm pretty sure this camera is not used at its actual potential
