WOW! That's just awesome!
Certainly I'll use this when my X Play arrives

Did anyone try this nifty tool yet? Looks promising!

that looks amazing, can anyone confirm it's working? I'm getting the XT1563 version soon

working flawlessly. thanks

Seems really promising! I am having a slight issue however.
After unlucking the bootloader succesfully, when i proceed to flash twrp, it says success. However, when I boot into recovery, i get the classic "Resting Android robot" saying "No Command"

after installing custom recovery using tool-kit and directly reboot to recovery from fastboot menu, then mount system and rename the install-recovery.sh :good:

Awesome tool. I just have one question. Is it possible to relock the bootloader without losing root? I unlocked bootloader manually, I boot twrp (not flashed, just boot) and installed SuperSU. So I still have the stock recovery, but I'd like to relock the bootloader without having to lose root.

I want to relock the bootloader but keep root. I don't want to lose root or busybox as I need them for several functions. I just want to get rid of the annoying warning on boot that says I have an unlocked bootloader.

That means you're still on stock recovery..

After rooting my moto battery life has benn reduced. Anyone has this problem too?

Hi guys! Just receive my new moto x play today and want to root it! Its good to go with this tool?!

I've used the tool to unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP. Worked smooth and didn't really have any issues. I did had to flash TWRP twice, but that might have been an error on my part for not looking at my phone after the first flash attempt. SU installed via on screen notifications after booting into recovery, worked like a charm too.
I recommend this tool as it takes away a load of work, especially with the bootloader unlock.

When trying to boot in recovery i got "No Command" while the device is unlocked and i tried to flash new recovery...
EDIT:
You must enable "OEM unlock" after the reboot

[Guide] installing FM radio apk on rooted honor 6X

Please follow the steps in order to get the FM apk back on rooted phone.
Download the file from https://mega.nz/#!OQcASYKZ!cNosL1J5y5YFpe25MgrW41LxUzEwlUyroVI0gxw0YXw
copy the file to adb folder on your PC
Open the command prompt as right click and open command prompt here and run below command in order
adb root
adb remount
adb push FM.apk /data/hw_init/product/app/HwFMRadio.apk
adb reboot
Hope this works for you. If there is any issue faced, just comment and we will see for a work around. There are few changes in the directories so not sure 100% if this will work but most probably it should based on the radio.apk location on stock phone.

I have downloaded the FM.apk and pasted it in the adb folder
But when I give adb root , it says "adbd cannot run as root in production builds" what does that mean?

That should be run on adb not recovery.

Please have a look at these screen shots, and think what is wrong with the push command,
Look at the below image
It is showing the path of the folder "app" we have created by over push command. It has two radio names, one app and one folder named radio.apk bcuz I've issued the command two time each time with a little change of inverted commas, and in my opinion not only the name is wrong but the apk file is also in the wrong folder.
And let see what's inside that radio.apk folder
And by clicking on that apk file what happens?
And then when I click install it says this,

Hay @shashank1320, I have solved my FM radio problem by following another https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3606037 thread in the forum, but the theme still doesn't work.

Actually I've forgot to tell you that I installed flashfire yesterday and it detected the small OTA update in my memory card and asked me to prepare and flash it, I just clicked yes and it rebooted to its environment and tried to flash the full package but failed. But later I saw that the FM radio was installed in that process. And later when I flashed the stock recovery and installed FF and again downloaded the same small OTA update and let the FF to flash in the hope that the theme would also come this way but it didn't come. Now I am stuck with the same theme, theme isn't my problem but why don't I have it? That's the question. I'll try the full software though.
I think now the best partner is FF as far as it has taken me out of the crowd.

Dont worry it will be full stock. I did 10 days back from China to India. For security concerns, you can relax here.i am yet to get the OTA as there wasn't any rollout yet

I have got a great news for you guy, I solved my honor 6x BLN-L21C185's theme and FM radio problem myself. It's a long story I'm going to create a thread on that.
But my new concern is that I am still on TWRP and I have got an OTA update B371, but it failed to flash due to costum recovery.
Now is it right that I will unzip the update.zip file and creat a dload folder in the SDcard and paste the unzipped things in it, Uninstall the Magisk from its own menu and than flash stock recovery of B361 by adb bootloader and then before start press and hold the three buttons to tell the recovery to update from the dload folder of the SDcard OR I'll have perform a factory reset on the device and download the OTA update again to upgrade to B371.

Question I'm very overwhelmed please help

The last time I rooted a phone was 3 years ago, in general whenever I try to root a phone I feel like the entire process has changed and im completely out of the loop.
All i want to do is make it so i can install f.lux and youtube vanced, how do I do this?
I know that I need to install magisk but apparently I also need to enable the bootloader whatever that means?
Sideload, flashing, caprip, boot-image, fastboot, TWRP: these words mean nothing to me, they serve to confuse and demean me.
Is there any resource for figuring out how to go from a new out-of-the-box moto g30 to one which lets me install youtube vanced? Usually I'd look up a tutorial but the only one I found was in spanish and I don't speak spanish.
Thanks for any help you can give.

First things first.
Android has Night Light built in and Youtube Vanced doesn't need root.
But, if you're still serious about rooting and installing magisk to make use of all of the really useful modules, you'll need:
An Unlocked Bootloader: Motorola's Own Guide
Keep in mind that unlocking the bootloader will wipe your phone and void its warranty, so be absolutely sure you want to do it and back up your files.
Then you'll need to manually patch a boot.img from your stock ROM (can be found here.) and flash it using ADB (Android Debug Bridge) using your PC.
I rooted mine within 3 days of owning it and have been enjoying it with no problems whatsoever ever since.
I used this guide as reference. If you have any questions you can always just message me here or on Telegram (@Kuntitled).

Bootloader is small program which runs before Android operating system running. Bootloader is first program to run so It is specific for board and processor. -RootJunky

Unlocking the bootloader
You can flash a custom system only if the bootloader allows it. Note, though, that the bootloader is locked by default. You can unlock the bootloader, but doing so deletes user data for privacy reasons. After unlocking, all data on the device is erased, that is, both private app data and shared data accessible over USB (including photos and movies). Before attempting to unlock the bootloader, back up any important files on the device. - https://source.android.com/setup/build/running

The boot.img is the fie that creates the boot partition
/boot​This is the boot partition of your Android device, as the name suggests. It includes the android kernel and the ramdisk. The device will not boot without this partition. Wiping this partition from recovery should only be done if absolutely required and once done, the device must NOT be rebooted before installing a new one, which can be done by installing a ROM that includes a /boot partition.

Fastboot is the fastboot protocol to communicate with an Android device.

TWRP:

Twrp is a Custom recovery,
The stock recovery has very limited functions,
a custom recovery has more options
/recovery​This is specially designed for backup. The recovery partition can be considered as an alternative boot partition, that lets the device boot into a recovery console for performing advanced recovery and maintenance operations on it. -RootJunky

Question Downgrade to Android 12

I'm having issues trying to downgrade to Andriod 12 from andriod 13 beta 3.
1. I've opted out of Beta
2. Software update notification received
3. Click on download and install
4. After a couple of mins get error message couldn't update 'Installation problem'
The screen remains on the update screen.
What am i doing wrong please help?
Device state: locked
edit:actually now I'm stuck in Fastboot Mode
Phone keeps rebooting back to Fastboot mode

With a locked bootloader, your only option to get fixed is to try sideloading an OTA - usually, the OTA has to be either the same as what you were most recently running or newer. Click the yellow How To Guide quick filter at the top of the list of threads for one of the root guides. Even though you're not rooting, one or two of them should tell how to sideload an OTA - just ignore things that reference root.
This is why the instructions for the Beta program say you should have an unlocked bootloader, as without an unlocked bootloader your choices to fix the situation are much more limited.

You're welcome. Since I never do the OTA process, I always flash the full firmware zip (which you can't do with a locked bootloader), I can't advise any further than what I said about using the quick filter for the How To Guides. At least one or two of these threads should help you, although they may concentrate on doing so with rooting, as long as you ignore the root parts to the OTA method, you can still follow the instructions. You'll get better help to any questions in one of the threads that give OTA sideload instructions:

much appreciated yes want to avoid root or unlocking the bootloader, why does google have it to make it so difficult to downgrade. Maybe take a leaf out of apple's book

To sideload you need USB debugging enabled. Reboot the device to recovery, either by powering off the device and holding power and volume up, let go of power when the phone vibrates, on the the android with an exclamation mark, tap on volume up I think it is. Or by typing in terminal
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
since it's stuck in fastboot. In recovery tap on 'apply update from adb'
Then download the ota package from here.
Grab the platform tools (Google for it) and unzip it to c:\platform-tools if you're running windows. Open a terminal in the platform tools folder and type
Code:
adb sideload /path_to_ota.zip
Let it do its thing and you should be up and running. I wouldn't try to downgrade from the a13 beta, but you can try. Good luck!

Just a few things. You don't need USB debugging enabled for OTA updates (you can't boot into Android to enable it anyway).
Just be aware that with OTA's, you can't downgrade - only reinstall the same version or upgrade, so you need to make sure you're on Android 13 to reinstall ota version 13 (recovery mode will tell you your version).
Here's a video to help with the ota update.

Flash.android uses fastboot, which requires the bootloader to be unlocked. User can't unlock it since Android won't boot..

I don't think I'll be flashing beta version again lol, too much hassle to downgrade.
In the end decided to send in to Google to repair.
I think they will give me a replacement instead of repairing it.
Did anyone notice any major bugs with android 13, can't say I did?

Yup, very easy to flash ota, but op didn't feel comfortable doing it unfortunately.

Might seem dumb but I used the web browser tool and flashed back to stock via that from 13 B3 it unlocks bootloader and flashes and re locks bootloader , back on stable 12 working fine then opted out of 13 beta

The way I did it was downloading the entire firmware from google and then changing the config to remove- w so your data doesn't get wiped. Then running the .su or .bat depending on your is. It worked for me. Cheers

Question how to relock bootloader rog 6 ?

if using qualcomm tools it need mbn file . i cant find that mbn file in the firmware folder . urgent hlp

Wrong fastboot. Do it from the bootloader page: 'fastboot reboot bootloader' or just turn on the device in bootoader mode without navigating to fastboot/fastbootd. Then use the same command. Should help.

Same problem did you find any solution?!

I just found the solution
You should use side usb port for update just connect to the pc reboot to fast boot and run the command

Does relock the bootloader on official rom will give error and need to flash official rom again?
I want to root my Batman edition but scared it will give bootloop after relock bootloader in future. As the Batman official rom is never be found on the net, I would lose the Batman theme if flashed to normal version.

It may give you a device corrupt error after re-lock that requires a factory reset or RAW flash meaning you may risk losing your Batman stuff - whatever that is. Best to root and leave it unlocked (you can still unroot it), or leave it alone...

The only reason I want to root it to take out the Batman theme. It's in Zip file inside the Asus Theme folder, I can extract it but all files are unreadable. Where's photos and videos are in .enc format and APKs cannot be open, even changed to .zip format.
It seems all Asus themes are like this not only for Batman theme. So my plan is to root it and take out the theme that may be inside System folder that only can be reach via root. Then relock the bootloader before selling it later.

Or unlock it and take a full system image backup with TWRP or something else and keep it stored. That way you can roll back and re-lock in case you want to sell the device one day.
You could also switch your active slot and leave one with the Batman theme on the inactive, but need to be very careful not to overwrite the Batman slot. Requires strickt manual management of where system updates are installed. Not recommended but possible.
