TWRP DIRTY PORT FOR RETUS SURFNA

Since this has the same chipset as the E5 Plus, and since I found the stock firmware for this online, I figured I'd whip up a quick dirty port of TWRP for the Moto E6 for anyone that has it. I don't have an E6 myself yet, but I'm thinking I'll get one when my Moto G4 dies on me. This means I was obviously not able to test this recovery image myself, hence its EXPERIMENTAL status. Be cautious when flashing this on your device, and have a stock firmware backup handy!!!!!

WHAT WORK

  • Not sure

WHAT BROKE

  • Not sure

DOWNLOAD

Right here dude

INSTRUCTIONS

Before permanently flashing this to your device, just boot from it first to make sure it works with "fastboot boot [imagename].img". Only if you're absolutely sure it's functioning do I then recommend flashing it to the recovery slot.

SOURCE CODE

I can't share anything since this wasn't built from source. I used Carliv Image Kitchen to extract the E6 recovery image and the E5 Plus official TWRP recovery image, then did the swapping of the kernels into the E5 extracted directory and rezipped it as an image file.

THANKS TO

  • Lolinet mirrors for the stock Surfna Retus firmware
  • TWRP for the official Moto 5 Plus TWRP image I used as a base
  • Carliv for the bangin' Image Kitchen that made this possible
 
New recovery is up to test, because my first attempt didn't work according to people on XDA. Go download Attempt 2 and see if it gets you any further. If that breaks, try Attempt 3
