procedure

The fastest way (there are other ways) to install TWRP is using Fastboot :
you need to download both the TWRP image and the corresponding installer
( also versions available for HTC Sensations XE , Moto 4G & Moto 7G Plus )

  • extract the installer files into android platform tools folder
  • copy there the phone specific TWRP image (temporally , for during of
  • connect your device with the PC via a USB cable

  • open a terminal & go the ADB & Fastboot folder
    cd /mnt/data/SYS/android-tools

  • reboot your device
    NOPE : ~~Press and hold the Volume Up + Power button together for a few seconds to enter into Fastboot mode~~
    ==power off the phone first THEN== press and hold the Volume Up + Power button together for a few seconds to enter into Fastboot mode

first time
then : ./adb reboot bootloader ~~adb reboot bootloader~~
if TWRP is installed , this adb command is no longer required

  • On succes, your device is connected to your laptop as a fastboot device.
    to check the fastboot device is connected in boot mode or not:
    ` => empty result = not connected serial + fatboot line = connected to that xxxxx to check the phone is connected and can talk to adb server:./adb devices -l `

  • to install TWRP Recovery on your phone :
    zie issue #2 ; moto G7 is een dual sim
    fastboot flash recovery <> => ./fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.6.1_9-0-lake.img
    => target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes [= 512MB]
    sending ‘recovery’ (31636 KB)…
    OKAY [ 0.871s]
    writing ‘recovery’…
    ==(bootloader) Invalid partition name recovery==
    FAILED (remote failure)
    ==INSTEAD==

  • copy the TWRP image to SD card via usb (in de “root” folder van shared storage , dus boven /Documents /Download etc )
  • temporaly boot into TWRP from pc :
    ./adb reboot bootloader
    ./fastboot boot twrp-3.6.1_9-0-lake.img
  • then TWRP : menu > advanced > select the image and choose flash current twrp ( to recovery )

You’ve installed TWRP Recovery on the Moto G7 Plus device.

Now, you have to flash the Root.
On some devices, oem unlock is all that is required to both unlock your bootloader and root your device,
but that is not so for many other devices.
