[Obsolete - Old Thread] TWRP 3.4.0-0 for Moto E 2020

I am very happy to announce that TWRP is now available for this device.

There is no guarantee this works perfectly, this is Pre-Alpha. This is not a port, it has been built from source.
This is a Pre-Alpha build, I am not responsible for any bricks, damages or dead SD Cards. Your warranty is now void.

Releases
Latest release: RS.1 2020-12-05
https://www.alexenferman.com/files/motoe2020customroms

Installation
Your bootloader must be unlocked.
To try it out, type this command: Fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
To install it, type this command: Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Do not switch to Slot 2 in TWRP, this may result in a hard-brick! Recovering from this is possible, however we do not have the required tools right now.

Bugs / Issues
Not sure. You tell me

Features
64-bit Recovery
Supports dynamic partitions

I have XT2052-1 with build number QPGS30.82-105-4.

I tried this twrp from Dec.31, 2020:

https://twrp.me/motorola/motorolamotoe2020.html

I took these steps:

#adb reboot bootloader
#fastboot flash boot twrp-3.5.0_10-0-ginna.img
#fastboot boot twrp-3.5.0_10-0-ginna.img

but twrp seemed to have no screen response after loading.

This means your touch screen panel is not supported. Even if you have the same phone, some Moto E 2020s have a Focaltech panel, and the current maintainers for this device have not posted a fixed TWRP image on twrp.me which supports that panel. Do you have Telegram? If so, join the https://t.me/motoe7 group and have a chat with the current maintainers of the device. They have a OrangeFox recovery image which supports the Focaltech panel.
