Motorola Moto G52 installation instructions do not work
- /e/ version: T.dev
- Device model(s): Motorola Moto G52
- Developer mode enabled: yes
- Device rooted: n/a
- Trackers blocker enabled: n/a
Summary
The installation process did not work. After fastboot flashing, the adb sideload did not work at all - enabling adb did not produce any device on 2 linux machines. Instead, what I needed to do was to take microSD card and copy both the copy_partition zip and the installation zip file onto it, put it into the phone, reboot to recovery and flash from microSD.
The problem
- Unlock the bootloader
- reboot to bootloader
- proceed with fastboot commands
- reboot to recovery
- enable update from adb sideload
- no adb device is created, the bootloader
What is the current behavior?
The adb device is not created, so the installation process will not proceed.
What is the expected correct behavior?
ADB device is created and user can see the device OR the installation instructions provide alternative step to load the 2 zip files to microSD and put the microSD card into the device.
Technical informations
As the adb device is not created, no logfiles can be provided here.

Solutions
Copy the necessary files to microSD card (both copy-partitions...zip and firmware zip file) and put the microSD card to the phone, only then start the bootloader and from bootloader manually switch to recovery mode. In recovery, select the apply update, but instead of ADB select the name of the microSD card. Install first the copy-partitions zip, reboot to bootloader, from bootloader back to recovery and in recovery apply update again from microSD, but this time the firmware file. This fully works, just booted the OS successfully.
