So, after buying my OP5, I rooted it and pretty much left it at that. Haven't accepted any OTA updates out of laziness and not wanting to reroot. After 2 years, I decided to finally update. Went and did a nandroid backup, then looked to flash the latest version of the OTA update. Got an error that said something along the lines of "file is for 'Oneplus 5' but device is ' ' ".
Did some googling and saw people recommend a newer version of TWRP, so I went and downloaded and flashed it through TWRP. When I tried to reboot into recovery, nothing happened. Black screen and a permanent bluish-white notification light. Was still able to hard shutdown and boot back into regular OS. Tried to flash via the TWRP app and adb - same result both times, black screen + notification light.
Does anyone know how to restore my recovery and get the OTA update to flash properly? Any help is massively appreciated.

Rooted phone and skipped 2 years of updates... That fail for sure and really hard to ota without data loss.
What was your last running rom version, twrp version, magisk version, encryption status of internal storage?
Thanks for getting back to me, I appreciate it.
Last ROM version: OOS 4.5.8
TWRP: 3.1.1-1
Magisk: 17.1
Encryption status: encrypted
How screwed am I?

Oh, I recommend to backup everything with titanium backup and Google along with local backups of your internal storage.
OTA is really not a convenient way and you'll face issues so my recommendation is to clean flash if you want to save time.

I may be doing something stupid, but I've tried various options...
I had an original 5.1.1 build that I let OTA to 6.0. Everything was working fine. I wanted to root, so I installed TWRP... and then the machine wouldn't reboot; it stuck at the "powered by Android" screen and never went into the standard animation screens. I could reboot into TWRP recovery easily enough and using that I could see the filesystem data, but the OS wouldn't boot.
So I reflashed back to 5.1.1 (using http://www.andromods.com/download-files/xt1575-stock-firmware-moto-x-2015-pure-edition.html ), let that OTA to 6.0, installed TWRP... same result.
Third attempt; started at 5.1.1 then installed TWRP (which worked) and then did OTA to 6.0... but this went into a reboot loop.
(Of course during all this I've lost my configs, but I can rebuild that)
Has anyone been able to install TWRP onto an X-Pure 2015 that's running 6.0 ?
What TWRP version are you installing? Make sure it's 2.8.7.1 https://dl.twrp.me/clark/
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
Sorry, yes, I should have mentioned that; twrp-2.8.7.1-clark.img
Did you install TWRP as read only? I did this and now system recovery is overwriting TWRP and I have no idea how to get out of it.
I had the same problem a couple days ago and posted about it in the 'Android 6.0 Update rolling out! Pure Edition' thread:
"I keep running into a problem after doing the MM update when I flash TWRP (either 2.8.7.0 or 2.8.7.1) where it won't boot into system, just sits there where the animation part should start. Booted/rebooted fine a few times after finishing the MM update, even after flashing the unlocked bootloader logo fix, but as soon as I flash recovery it won't boot system. "
Tried it several times with both TWRP 2.8.7.0 and 2.8.7.1 with no success. Also tried sideloading the OTA per the manual steps in this thread but still couldn't boot to system. Only by already having TWRP installed on 5.1.1 am I able to flash a custom 6.0 ROM successfully. Haven't seen a really clear statement yet that someone has flashed TWRP on fully stock MM with no problem..

First time I let /system be read-write and second time I let /system be RO. However this likely isn't related to recovery overwriting TWRP; it's documented that on first boot the OS may rewrite the recovery data meaning you'd need to install TWRP again.

I have flashed TWRP twice and even rebooted to recovery from recovery and system recovery still overwrites TWRP after booting to system.
Only way I can access TWRP is either flashing it or booting into from the fastboot folder using the fastboot boot command.
Doesn't matter what I do, the option for changing TWRP from read-write to read only doesn't show up anymore.

Well, at age 65 I do put my socks on backwards sometimes..... :silly:
Read on a fairly-detailed post that using adb to flash recovery and rebooting into it should actually work fine!
Could anyone confirm? Is it even possible?
P.S. I'm on XT1572 Indian stock 6.0, and very eager for twrp
I had the exact same problem. I used adb. Stuck on loading screen and then suddenly black. Not able to boot the phone. I'd like to make a nandroid and after that I'd like to use systemless root. If I'm correct, I'll still receive ota's while using systemless root.
Same for me. Returned to stock EU 5.1.1, got update, installed it. Later unlocked bootloader and installed latest TWRP. And now I am stuck on booting up image.
So stock Marshmallow cant be used with TWRP?

That seems to be the case since I have yet to hear of anyone freshly setting up TWRP for clark/MXPE on purely stock MM without it failing to boot to system afterwards. If you already have TWRP on 5.1.1 you can install a custom MM ROM and then TWRP works normally (ie boots to system), but so far that's the only way I'm aware of to get it functional on MM.
I see you started another thread on this, which may help it get noticed, but maybe also post in the TWRP thread. I posted there on this issue over a week ago but have had zero response from OP, but if others keep doing so maybe that will help.
IMVHO, TWRP for MXPE isn't being supported well - this problem, the version being incorrect for several weeks causing confusion w/dozens of unnecessary posts (this alone could likely be fixed in 2 minutes), as well as the 'SD as internal storage' issue(s) which may be more involved but are still the type of thing those maintaining it are supposed to address. Even some acknowledgement that the issues are recognized and being worked on would be nice, but thus far not even that.

I was on pure stock mm and sideloaded twrp without any issues. I use the twrp app (requires root) to reboot into recovery without any problems.

Did you not use the Fastboot Install Method on the TWRP site? We are unable to reboot back into system after using this on stock MM, which always worked fine on stock LP. If you used a different method that worked could you please share what that was?
I am using twrp 2.8.7.1 on my Moto X Style XT1572 Asia retail without any trouble for past two weeks.
I normally flashed it using the fastboot and never ran into trouble.

Just to confirm - when you flashed TWRP you were completely stock after installing the 6.0 OTA (not still on 5.1.1 before taking the OTA), correct?

Here is what I did:-
1) I was in Stock 5.1.1 (had unlocked bootloader)
2) I took the OTA.
3) Flashed the twrp 2.8.7.1 using fastboot
So yes I was completely stock 6.0 when I flashed the TWRP for MM
Quick question:
I am very used to flashing so this isn't new to me. I recently updated to android build MHC19I. I'm use to the "lock your bootloader" warning, but now that I'm on TWRP 3.0.0-1, I'm also receiving the "your device is corrupt" warning. Now this doesn't seem to affect day to day use, so I don't seem to care, but am I doing something wrong? I usually wouldn't receive that message.
Thanks!

Have you flashed SuperSU since flashing this version of TWRP? I haven't been able to pinpoint the cause of this message, but I believe it occurs when you have a modified /system partition (from installing TWRP). If I recall correctly (I had it a while ago) flashing SuperSU seemed to get rid of it. Could be a coincidence but that was my experience.

Here is the crazy thing.
So I hadn't flashed anything but TWRP, didn't modify the system partition at all, and that message would come up. I then flashed the latest Pure Nexus (actually then removed Root) and the message is now back to just the relock the bootloader message. I checked what build was used in that rom, and it is some crazy build (MHC19J) which isn't even available on the the Android Factory Images site. So I don't really know. As of now though, I'm just back to the normal lock your bootloader message.

TWRP itself modifies the system partition in order to persist through reboots, I believe this is what causes the message to appear.
I think the Warnung is only red then the vendor image with the cert.check goes wrong the mhc19j is the last march build from the nexus5x and the devs changed the Rom for the angler- so try to flash the vendor image Märchen from Angler the mhc19i and the Rom certificate check goes right and the yellow Warnung is back.....i had for a few days the same Problem.... Download the vendor in the Rom thread and flsh it with wugs toolkit and then reboot.... Sry for my terrible english
Trying to update the 4.5.1 and it seemed to have gone fine until it automatically reboots into TWRP recovery. Upon rebooting into system, it states the update failed. With TWRP having all those jumbled folder names right now (has this been fixed yet?) it's hard to see if the update downloaded somewhere to internal storage, and further if it could be flashed even if I found it. Is updating with an OTA like this possible? I know on basically all other phone it is not. Has anyone gotten the update to work while being unlocked, rooted, with TWRP? Thanks.

Generally you need to reflash the previous Full ROM with TWRP and then flash the OTA on top for it to work as the system must be unmodified. Alternatively, you can just flash the latest Full ROM. Currently those are not available, but that's generally how it works.
If u have installed twrp before updating the stock rom, I guess we have to wait for full rom of latest update 4.5.1 which can be flashed via twrp.
P.s. FLASHING the dwnloaded update via twrp will gives u error.. So have to wait for full rom. ?
Hello all,
Been a LONG while since I've actively played around with rooting and unlocking an android device. I finally "upgraded" from my very aged Galaxy S4 to the Moto E4 XT1768. I have successfully unlocked the bootloader, got TWRP installed, rooted with Magisk, and gotten Xposed installed with my favorite modules.
This morning, I got a prompt that a new security update is available, and like a noob, I tried to take the update. This resulted in me getting stuck in a loop where the phone only wanted to boot into TWRP. I got that fixed thanks to XDA, got the pending and failing update completely cleared and am booted back into the device normally, and have frozen the moto update service.... but now...
Is there a way without completely flashing back to stock rom? I know how to take titanium or nand/twrp backups, but I feel like this would still be hours of work to go back to stock, flash, re-root restore all apps blah blah. what are the chances of there being a dirty-flashable zip put out at this point?
The way I normally do these type of upgrades is to download the firmware (from here), use fastboot commands to wipe (erase) and flash the needed partitions (everything but data and recovery), boot to TWRP - flash the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip & root, and then reboot to system - done. It's easy enough for me, but I know some prefer to being able to use a flashable zip in TWRP.
Also, I have to ask - did you get your e4 cheap? It's was replaced by the e5, some other phones seem to be getting replaced like the G6 series (it's gone on clearance at some places), so they can be had cheap.

Flashing back to stock and taking the updates is really the best way. Unless you can find a complete firmware package of the new update which of course takes back to stock as well. Really the only way to do it. @MotoJunkie01 makes some TWRP flashable stock roms. And he also creates the partition updater which updates your oem partition and other important things that can't be done in the Twrp flashable stock ROM.

Speaking of that, @ALI12 just posted a stock firmware package for the NCQS26.69-64-10 build. He gave me approval to use it to update my firmware thread to the latest build, so I'll be updating that OP shortly.

This will be for the XT1766, correct? Or will same build work for XT1768 (me thinks not)?
So what would the easiest/quickest way be to get updated with all of my apps and data intact? Twrp backup of data partition? Or would there be any way to do this without wiping data at all?

If you're going to slash a firmware package you'll want to wipe everything. Especially data. Make a backup of your data first of course. After you flash TWR P you can try restoring your data and see if everything comes back. but everything in your downloads folder and all of that will be gone once you format data to remove encryption again.
Hello,
need some help.
Phone was setup with Oxygene OS 10.3.6, TWRP 3.0.3.2, Magisk. Target was to update the Full OTA of 10.3.7 via TWRP from downloaded file..
Unfortunat4ely im not able to boot the Phone anymore. Im able to try to start a update by sideload from TWRP wich doesnt work (getting error code KInstallDeviceOpenError )
By rebooting into TWRP i wasnt asked for the Pincode (?)
Any hints or tips would be appreachiated very much.
Thx. a lot

Are you sure about that TWRP version? Either you are using a very old outdated version of TWRP, could be the problem, and likely the reason you weren't prompted for a pin, or that's not the correct version.
You need the latest version of TWRP which hopefully you can boot from fastboot.6T TWRP Downloads here. Note, 3.4.0.2 did fix the rom flashing issues, and you can use the installer zip no issues now. If you are able to get back into TWRP, I would backup your data as soon as you get access to it just in case. These phones are easy to fix, as long as you aren't worried about your data.
Thx for your reply, should been version 3.2.3.2. All in one Tool works and i flashed the imagge again, unfortunately all userdata was deleted.
Backup, a liddle old, was avaible .. so not a really Problem. Only the Time that i have wasted..
