O.k my wife got an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 when they first came out I bought it for her and it has this rom build on it l747UCALG1 and mine which I just bought about three days ago have this build on it l747UCALH9. Her build I was able to root if need be but my phone I can't and I am already on 2 count of the custom binary and I can't reset it since some how I can't root the phone the developers are seeing all of this stuff that we are doing to the phones and I believe they are trying to stop us. But anyway can some one tell me since I have a copy of her stock Firmware how can I just flash my phone or what have you with her stock firmware which is l747UCALG1 so I can root my phone. Also if you don't mind please leave me a clear step-by-step way to do it and if it works without doing any damage at all to my phone, and if I want to later go back to the stock that is on my phone now I can but I don't think I will unless I have to send or take it in ever for warranty repair or just sale it. If this works right leave me your e-mail or if you have a paypal account give me that address or what have you and I will send you a donation.. (Thanks)
Sincerely,

How to Revert to Old Firmware & Root Newest Release -
Hello and welcome to XDA.
I understand your concern to root your device especially with it being on the latest firmware, but I will do my best in order to explain every step to you in the utmost detail. I am currently on I747UCLH9 with a Custom ROM. Meaning I kept the Modem & Bootloader and kicked the Kernel and Firmware. Before I begin, I would like to ask you to thank to all the Developers / Posters who made & put this content together as this would not be possible without them. I will link all of their original posts at the end of this. Be sure to give credit to every one of them and please make sure to give thanks to them. I take absolutely NO CREDIT for any of these links/steps whatsoever. I simply researched and compiled them in order to help you. With that being said, let us begin.
Before anything you must remember this. After you are finished downloading whatever items you need, you MUST (and I cannot stress this enough) FACTORY RESET YOUR DEVICE. Reason being is because a lot of other people have tried this same process of downgrading without wiping and ended up getting startup boot errors. Be sure to NOT sign into your Google account. This is just a warning, follow the steps below to know when you should begin this process.
All files you download should be saved on your desktop. Personally I prefer to make a separate folder for these kind of delicate things. Keeps it organized so you don't forget where you are.
Make sure your phone IS NOT plugged in to your computer as of right now & you have NO external SD card.
Now;
Let's begin.
Before you start be sure you have the Samsung USB drivers installed. Which you can get from Samsung's website or here.
Samsung USB Drivers
Also be sure that you have WinRAR installed as well which you can get right here.
WinRAR
To be on the VERY SAFE side you must download ADB (Android SDK). What you must do is when it asks you for where you would like to install it, you MUST ONLY CLICK "Local Disk C:" . AND THATS IT. The best thing is to keep it here so when you have to execute a command line, it will be very simple. You will have a folder called "android" here. THAT IS YOUR ADB FOLDER. You will understand what I mean shortly. *Note* this is for CWM-T (ClockworkMod Touch).
Android SDK
1. Download the stock rooted LG1 Firmware. I747UCLG1 Stock + Root Only.
2. Right-Click the LG1 Firmware you just downloaded and extract it. It is currently root69.stock_ATT_I747UCALG1.7z ; the extraction process will turn it into the correct .tar file (Flashable file type with Odin)
3. Now that you have the Stock ROM, you need..well ODIN! Here's the link. Odin 3.07.
4. Since it is in .zip format you need to extract this as well. You will end up with 4 files. Right-Click on the Odin3 v3.07.exe and run it as administrator. Now you are at the Odin screen with nothing there -_-".
5. Factory reset your phone. Just let it boot up but DO NOT sign into your Google account, just click through skip everything head straight to your Settings, then Developer Options & make sure USB Debugging is enabled/checked. Back out of your settings completely and you are at the home screen.
6. Now, just hit the power button and turn your device off. After it is completely turned off hold the Volume Down + Home button. While holding these 2. Press and hold the Power button. You should now be holding all three buttons at the same time waiting for a green lettered screen to come on (Download Mode). Use the phone keys to select the option to continue. Your phone will now say Downloading, do not turn off device. (Or along those lines).
7. After selecting the option that sends your phone to the screen with the text "Downloading, Do not turn off device." You should be holding your phone in hand with USB plugged into your computer but your device is not connected. Odin is open on your computer screen with nothing still. From here just plug your phone in and you will see a pop-up in the first box of many under the Odin logo which says "COM: #".(#: Being a select number of your device. This is of no importance, as long as you see this pop up.) Once you see this your phone will be ready to be flashed back. Just click the PDA button and browse to the root69.stock_ATT_I747UCALG1.tar file. (Be sure you click the .tar and not the .zip.)
8. Check to make sure no other boxes should be checked except for Auto-Reboot.
9. Press Start and wait for the process to finish.
10. Everything should go through fine and your phone will start back up and you will be on LG1. You are now on stock firmware BUT rooted. Unplug your phone, Skip past everything once again and make sure USB Debugging is enabled. Keep your phone unplugged & don't forget to close ODIN.
Now before you do anything. You need a Custom Recovery AKA CWM. Well in this case we will be installing the latest touch version.
11. Download the latest ClockworkMod Touch from here. This link is saved in a way specifically from their website. You can either go to www.clockworkmod.com and browse the ROM Manager tab for the 6.0.1.4 Recovery. OR you can just right click the link provided right here and press "Save As..." this file will come up and asked to be saved as recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.4-d2att.img. RENAME IT AS "recovery.img" without the quotes & save it.
ClockworkMod Touch 6.0.1.4
12. Now that you have this file. Plug in your phone to your computer and in the root folder of your phone storage and copy the recovery.img file to it; which is the first folder that pops up when you press open when you plug your phone in. (Remember no SD CARDS!)
13. Now, click the Start button on your taskbar and in the search bar type cmd. Now you will see cmd.exe; press enter and you will see the Command Prompt open. If you saved the Android SDK the way I told you to, you can copy and paste the line below. If you saved it somewhere else you can change the folder simply by browsing to the android folder. Make sure you click on the "platform-tools" folder. NOT the "platform" folder. Also whichever directory it is you must add a "\" at the end so it will find the location correctly.
cd C:\android\platform-tools\
14. Now you are in the directory time to run ADB Shell and flash that recovery! Copy and paste or type the following; I recommend you copy and paste the last line as it gets tricky. After the SU command your phone will be detected.
First you type adb shell
following that su
and finally dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
As you can see in the last command it is named recovery.img there are no special characters or numbers or symbols to mess with the flashing. After you run this command you will an output similar to the following.
14004+0 records in
14004+0 records out
7170048 bytes transferred in 1.430 secs (5014019 bytes/sec)
Finish up this step with the following command
reboot recovery
15. Your device will now restart and head straight into recovery. Congrats you now have LG1 Stock + Root with CWM-T. Unplug the USB and press "Reboot System".
TO UPGRADE BACK TO LH9 WITH ROOT AND CWM-T
Before I begin.
You must remember that this step REQUIRES you download 4 files to go on the root of your phone memory. Your phone should now be on the home screen. Plug it in and open your phone memory. With that being said you need the following files. The Rom, Modem, Bootloader, and Kernel. You will be flashing them in this following order as well.
16. Download the following pieces and save them to the root of your phone's memory. Be sure to remember which file has what name so when you enter the recovery you aren't lost as to which to flash first.
I747UCLH9 ROM Download
I747UCLH9 Modem Download
I747UCLH9 Bootloader Download
I747UCLH9 Kernel Download
17. After everything has finished transferring, remove the phone from the computer and turn your phone. Remember how you got into download mode? Well instead of holding Volume Down + Home, you hold Volume Up + Home. While holding these two press and hold your power button until you see it says Samsung Galaxy S III. If you look at the top left hand of the screen while it's JUST turning on. You will see some blue text flash. When you see that you know your entering the recovery and can release the buttons.
18. You are back at the recovery. You must now do the following. Touch the options as I list them. Follow these steps precisely.
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Yes -- Delete all user data
- Wipe Cache
- Yes - Wipe Cache
- Advanced
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
+++++Go Back+++++
- Install Zip from SD Card
- Choose zip from SD Card
Now choose them in the following order, ROM, Modem, Bootloader, and finally Kernel.
WAIIIITTTTTTTT! After you are finished flashing the Kernel you MUST do the following. Click options as I state them.
- Wipe Cache
- Yes - Wipe Cache
- Advanced
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Advanced
- Fix Permissions
+++++Go Back+++++
Reboot System
19. Wait for your phone to reboot and NOW you can sign into your Google account. Go past everything go into your App drawer first and check for Superuser/SuperSU once you see that, go into your settings and check your ROM, Modem, Bootloader, Kernel. Yes. They are bone stock with root. Congrats you achieved maximum upgrade with root.

Thank you, I really appreciate that. I don't accept donations I simply did it to help those who wanted/needed it
Sent from my T&K Blessed SGH-I747
I do not see the 4 download links for the ROM, Modem, Bootloader and Kernel. Can you post them.
I will fix the links but if you simply look at the people / threads I have given credit to at the bottom of my guide you will see drothenberger's thread. He has the original links there. Mind you, you MUST scroll down to the part where it says "PIECES:" and download following his links. Don't worry I will re-post them accordingly.

Does upgrading from rooted LH9 from a rooted LG1 trip flash counter since we are installing 4 separate files instead of 1 .tar?
thanks!
Hey guys, I decided to update the thread in hopes of clearing confusion.
Currently I've found two methods of rooting that seem to help people.
Method 1 - E.K IT Services: ekitservices.com currently run by senior member @djerick3 *Not a sponsorship*
Method 2 - CF-Auto Root: Very simple and easy to use, all you need a:
Windows PC (7 - 10)
USB Cable
Step 1 - Download CF-Auto Root for the SM-G920P.
Step 2 - Using either adb (adb reboot download) or hardware keys (turn the device off and hold in Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button once prompted, press Volume Up)
Step 3 - Plug the device into the PC and open the included Odin in the CF-Auto zip
Step 4 - Click the "AP" button and choose the included md5 file
Step 5 - Make sure to check the "Option(s)" tab and make sure only "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" are checked. Then switch back to the main tab and press start.
Step 6 - Wait as CF-Auto Root will begin to boot and root, note that the process can take while. Upon rebooting you should have the SuperSU app (Note. If its not there, you can find it HERE)
Step 6 - Enjoy
< ----- Optional - TWRP Install ------ >
As of right now, current TWRP releases are not working on marshmallow. Lucky though @ram9200 created a custom version of the tool that should work
Step 1 - Download the TWRP Tar file
Step 2 - Boot back into Odin mode and flash via Odin on your PC (use the "AP" tab once more)
Hope this helps:good: as always though, of you need help feel free to to send me a PM

Hey guys, after all the confusion on rooting 6.0.1, I decided to throw together a guide real quick (hope this helps)
To do this, you will need:
TWRP (This is a special version only for the Sprint SM-G920P and is meant to be flashed with Odin)
SuperSU 2.68
Odin
Steps)
1) Boot your device into download/odin mode (adb reboot download) or (while the device is off hold home+power+volume down then you will be taken to a light blueish screen saying "Warning", just press volume up)
2) Once your device is in download/odin mode, plug it into your windows PC and open Odin then in odin, click the "AP" button then find where you downloaded the TWRP .tar and press start
3) After that, your device should reboot into the system, if present use "adb reboot recovery" if you don't have adb, turn the device off and hold home+power+volume up and your should get some red text in the upper left hand corner then you should be brought to TWRP where you can flash SuperSU (to get SuperSU onto your device, you can use TWRP's built in MTP function or use adb, I recommend using adb but TWRP's MTP is also good (to enable MTP, click on the "mount" button then make sure to tap the "Cache","Data" and "System" buttons, if your PC does not detect the device, tap "Disable MTP" then tap "Enable MTP". Then your device should be detected where you can then move SuperSU to your device and flash it,

Help
Same issue here. when recovery is booted. blue update screen then original recovery. OEM is on
---------- Post added at 05:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 AM ----------
im getting the blue updateing as well. then goes to original recovery/ OEM is on
unchecked the auto reboot and followed directions and am now rooted. Thanks!
This worked for me! Thank you so much!
A few modifications to the overall guide:
a. Turn on OEM unlock (I forgot to do this first)
2. Turn off auto-boot in ODIN (I needed to do this, as TWRP would not load the first time)
d. Move SuperSU zip folder to phone (same as other methods)
Now just need a good custom ROM...
I unchecked auto-boot in Odin and turned on OEM unlock, but it isn't working. I boot into download mode and apply the TWRP, but it is just stuck in download mode with the white bar at like 99% complete. It doesn't hit 100%. I forced my phone off and then booted into recovery right after and now my recovery mode is a white screen. Not really sure what to do.

Thank U!!!
IMPORTANT: Flashing WILL WIPE EVERYTHING SO BACKUP FIRST. (I'm not responsible for anything that goes wrong. You can use this regardless of your firmware version. Just make sure to sideload the proper file for your current firmware!
If the update or sideload ends up failing, flashing the stock firmware with Odin will resolve this. But just be sure to follow all the instructions, AND ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR PHONE. Your phone will factory reset after the update.
Before you proceed prepare these necessary things as follows so you will not screw-up your phone:
• Create a back-up with Smart Switch of all your personal data, like: Contacts, Messages, Applications, Pictures and Videos, so that you will not lost it just in-case something might went wrong after the update.
• Make sure that your Galaxy S6 Edge Plus battery is fully charged to ensure stability and to get rid of power failure issues while updating.
• TURN OFF the Reactivation Lock - Go to Settings > PERSONAL > Lock screen and security > Find My Mobile and log in your Samsung Account. Then uncheck the Turn Reactivation lock on. This is only needed if you already turned-it-ON, from which you cannot modify the system when it's turned-ON.
• If you disabled some system bloatware manually or with a third party software, make sure everything is enabled again.

1.) Turn off the phone. Hold down Volume Up + Home + Power until you see a little Android guy. It will say Applying System Update or something like that possibly, and just let it do it's thing until a menu comes up.
2.) Select "Apply update from ADB". You can scroll using the volume buttons and select using the power button.
3.) Make sure you have ADB and the proper drivers installed on your PC:
https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1wov38ZbRkpfP6CBULoIJM8plI1fWqffY&export=download
4.)Put the firmware in the ADB folder. You can rename it to anything easy to remember like "FIRMWARE".
5.) In the ADB folder, hold SHIFT + right mouse click and choose "Open command window here". Then type the command "adb sideload FIRMWARE" (where FIRMWARE is how you named your file).
6.) Wait patiently.
7.) The phone will reboot and will hang at AT&T logo. This can take another 10 minutes, just wait until it's done. Now repeat steps 1 to 5 until you're on the latest firmware. (Android Nougat)

Can you explain what you mean by that? If you are on a old android version you can flash this firmware directly to update to 7.0
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=IW6D&id=1WPSXlfRMaZPnunrrU6BKHjCK5JvaT0UX
And after that you can sideload this updates via adb

Sorry for the long wait, the update is UP
Hi All this is just a quick tutorial to help you all root your devices, on later firmwares
This 100% works ive done it over and over without any problems. I am currently on october patch latest firmware for my A105FN. As you may know Samsung have now added extra security meaning even if you have already unlocked your bootloader after you patch the firmware with magisk, flash patched firmware and reboot you will be greeted with that dreadfull message, Only official binaries allowed and your device will be locked and wont boot untill you reflash stock firmware again. The below will help get you out of the prenormal kg state, and save's you a 7 days waiting period as we dont have any TWRP available for our device at this time. Also note due to the extra security magisk cant be flashed with the whole firmware no more, as each time you flash the firmware your back at square 1.
Note: You will need 7-zip - google is your freind
1. Download odin: https://odindownloader.com/download/odin3-v3-13-3.
2. download the latest stock firmware for your device via SamMobile
3. Download latest Magisk Manager - https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445/amp/
4. Flash latest firmware via odin and let device boot up and finish setting up.
5. Grab Your Firmware AP_A105FXXXX.tar.md5 remove the md5 so its a tar file makes it easier to work with. Copy it to your device storage.
6. Install latest magisk manager, and open check advanced settings to make sure recovery is checked, select install image / patch image and select the AP file you put on your device, magisk will patch and save as magisk_patched on your internal storage. Copy this back to your pc and extract it.
7. Download this https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4818715&d=1568308074 thanks to @droidzer1 and extract the vbmeta.img.
8. Make a new folder on you pc it's temporary so you know where your files are. From the Ap magisk_patch.tar you extracted, copy the boot.img, recovery.img, and the downloaded vbmeta.img from step 7. And place them in the new folder you created, using your mouse select all 3 and right click select 7-zip add to archive, select tar format and name it magisk.tar.
9. Now we have all the files ready back to your device, if your bootloader is already unlocked skip this step and move to the next. For those that havent unlocked there bootloader go to settings - about phone - Software Information - tap multiple times on "Build number" - This will open developer option.
Now in settings at the end, you will have new option "Developer options" - look for OEM unlocking - Enable it, if the OEM switch is not there proceed to step 10. If it is and you enabled it it might ask you to factory reset if not it will be this way to complete the unlock bootloader.......
switch off your device and reboot to download mode.
To put device in download mode - Press Volume Up & then Press Volume Down (Keep holding both) and connect device to PC with USB cable
When device start to download mode, long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and automatically reboot.
10. Remove any account you have on your device go to settings, look for time and date automatic time zones, turn it off and set date back 8 days from now (example 30th today change date to 22nd) restart device. Now go straight back into automatic time zones settings and turn it back on. Again reboot device, when device reboots turn it off. You can now enter download mode and it should say checking instead of prenormal that means you good to go. Those of you that had no OEM switch in developer mode please now check.... if it's there enable it and go back to step 10 unlocking bootloader then proceed to step 11.
11. Open odin and select in the ap tab the magisk.tar you created earlier. Plug in your usb whilst holding vol-up and vol-down together to boot into download, press vol-up to proceed. Press start on odin and soon as it finishes and device reboots and you see the bootloader message hold power and vol-up until into stock recovery, select wipe factory reset then select reboot device, this the same as soon as you see bootloader unlocked message hold power and the vol-up together this time count to 7.... and release. Phone wont boot it will go blackscreen and reboot, dont worry this is normal, again do the exact same at bootloader unlocked msg screen hold power and vol-up count to 7... release, now phone will boot and you can set it up.
Note: you will need to reinstall magisk manager and on 1st open it will ask do to additional setup, let it do its thing, then device will reboot,
Remeber every time your device reboots you will have to do the power and vol-up to boot system with root.
I hope this guide help you and a big thank you to @afaneh92 for his original guide

No the twrp that was made for our device, wont work with new versions of magisk, or any newer firmware we are going to have to wait until the the new kernel source is released by samsung unfortunatly, its impossible to say when or if they do.... so its just root for now.

is it correct?
Hi guys I know their are threads how to do this but they are all over the place, If you'd like a complete tutorial, that will get your 2020 MOTO G Stylus phone rooted without any errors let me know.
Edit: It looks like people are interested so here goes. The tutorial below is for the 2020 version I tested on Android 10 on two variants. This method once followed correctly will take no more than 30 min tops. Not sure if this will work on updated versions but you could try at your own risk. If this helped you leave a like, if you have any questions let me know.
prerequisites:
PC (duh lol)
Fully Charged Device
Motorola Account (for bootloader unlock purposes)
adb fastboot installed (take note of your folder location especially the platform-tools folder
motorola drivers (link in step 5 if drivers don't install correctly after connecting phone)
Tutorial:
Unlocking bootloader
1. first step is to unlock bootloader(all data will be erased) for this you will need your unlock key
2. go to settings, about phone build # hit a bunch of times to enable developer options
3. once enabled go to developer option enable OEM unlock, disable automatic update (do not update), and enable USB debugging.
4. while phone is on plug into pc to allow drivers to install, also allow usb debugging when prompted. go to where you have adb installed and go in the platform tools folder (this is where I do everything on my phones without errors) hit shift+right click and choose "open command window here" type in "adb devices" without quotes and check if the device is present.
5. now to test if you have fastboot drivers power off phone, then hold power+volume down to enter fastboot mode, plug phone into your computer and repeat step 4 this time typing "fastboot devices" if your phone shows up move on to next step if not download Motorola drivers and install then repeat this step. You can get the driver here and install https://combofile.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=file&id=3396.
6. once your device is detected its time to unlock bootloader, go to https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a sign in and follow the steps, they are simple and straight forward so I won't list them here. Once unlocked restart your phone, set up and proceed to below steps.
Rooting
1. with bootloader unlocked time to get root. download the latest magisk manager (23 I believe) let it install and power off your phone we will use it later. We will be getting the specific boot image for your device through temporary twrp.
2. go to https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-3-5-0.4155041/ and download TWRP credits to @vache. Place the file in your platform-tools folder.
3. enter fastboot mode (by now it should be second nature) and plug into pc, verify fastboot device connected, by opening command window again in platform-tools folder
4. once verified type the following command without the quotes "fastboot boot twrp-3.5.0-0-rav-sofia.img" be patient, when it boots into twrp, cancel any password creation.
5. go to backup and select storage, choose a sd card, do not decrypt or do anything besides what I'm saying here. it will take you back to the beginning after sd card selected as storage, click backup and select only boot at the very top and creat backup. once done go out to twrp main menu and hit reboot, select "reboot system"
6. now to patch boot, open magisk manager and go to install, it will then give you the option to locate and patch boot.img, however we will be going into twrp backup on your sd card and locate boot.emmc.win (not the other two) once selected hit lets go on Magisk and allow it to patch. your patched boot.img will be in a download folder on your internal memory. Copy that file to your computer and then again move it to platform-tools folder
7. power off device and enter fastboot mode for the final time connect to pc, open command window in platform-tools folder and type the following command without the quotes "fastboot flash boot nameofbootfile.img" hit enter and allow to flash, once completed type "fastboot reboot" your device should now reboot, don't worry if it takes slightly longer than usual.
8. finally go into the magisk manager and let it complete its setup, it should reboot one more time and boom, you have root, remember to use magisk hide, That's it all set. If followed correctly this should only take about 30 min to a hour.
Shucks! I thought this was a tutorial.

If we have updated to Android 11, such as myself, and want to use the tutorial... Couldn't we just BACKUP (which is needed to root anyways), and do a FACTORY SETTINGS RESET to bring our OS back to Android 10?

I'm pretty sure a factory reset would restore to 11 not 10. As the 11 update replaced the 10 OS altogether.

I'm not sure if a factory reset would take the OS back to 10, you might need to search around for downgrade options. I'd advise anyone not to update to android 11, 10 is great especially with root. I have magisk pass safteynet, and even able to play pokemon go with gps spoof and smali patcher.

I'm on stock and want to flash this rom. I need to start from scratch. I need to unlock the bootloader, I got the email from Motorola months ago, but haven't had time to figure out how to use fastboot. It's been years since I used it. I'm also on Android 11 and I need to find out how to downgrade to Android 10. Any advice is appreciated.
I have an annoying Security Update that keeps popping up saying that I need to restart my device, and that it only takes 90 seconds. I'm afraid that if I restart my device, the update will install and I won't be able to downgrade to Android 10 from 11, and then I 'll be stuck with this stock rom. Can I disable this pop up?
New Version : RPRS31.Q1-56-9-9 Includes Updates of Android Security Patches through 1 October 2021.
I have not turned iff my device or restarted it since the pop up for the update.

Ok if you have your unlock code you should still be able to unlock bootloader. However the first thing you need to do is enable your developer options and enable OEM unlock, enable USB debugging and disable automatic updates that should stop updates you can also go on app info when you get the notification and disable notifications for system updates. If you have an unlock bootloader you should be able to root even android 11

Thank you very much. How do I disable automatic updates and how do I go on app info to disable notifications for system updates? Now a message is on the same screen that says that if I don't restart my phone by the 21st, it will automatically update it.
For downgrading to android 10:
1. Grab the moto flash tool from here
2. Grab the a10 firmware from your device here
3. Unzip the moto flash tool and put the firmware zip in the folder called firmware
4. Plug your device in to your pc in bootloader mode
5. Start the moto flash tool and follow the instructions
(Unlocked bootloader required)

Yes, it's off, and it's been turned off, but I still got a message from Motorola that if I don't restart my phone so that the security patch can update, it will restart automatically on the 21st( a few hours from now).

I don't know of any solution to this but you should be able to update and keep magisk if you let it do the ota update then use the magisk manager to flash to the other slot.

Assuming you have a non Verizon or any other oem that blocks unlocking the bootloader follow the steps from the original post:
(step one makes no sense they wrote it kinda weird)
2. go to settings, about phone build # hit a bunch of times to enable developer options
3. once enabled go to developer option enable OEM unlock, disable automatic update (do not update), and enable USB debugging.
4. while phone is on plug into pc to allow drivers to install, also allow usb debugging when prompted. go to where you have adb installed and go in the platform tools folder (this is where I do everything on my phones without errors) hit shift+right click and choose "open command window here" type in "adb devices" without quotes and check if the device is present.

you can install magisk manager with bootloader locked but there is no sense in installing it on locked bootloader, because when you unlock your bootloader your devices will be factory reset, if you checked my instructions you will see that magisk manager is needed to patch boot.img that you will get from TWRP backup. You seem a bit green about the whole fastboot process, if that's the case I'd advise you to do a little reading up on adb fastboot, which needs to be installed to unlock your bootloader, if you go in blind you can brick your device and I wouldn't want that.

Re: bootlock unlock code email
I went on the Lenovo/Motorola website just yesterday and input the long 5-line code from my phone (required) from SDK platform. Once I did this, the website replied that I will receive email with a unique 20-character bootloader unlock code (this is the part you should check again). Instead of getting a code, the email asked that I first "verify my email", so I followed the directions, clicked the link, the link brought me to their website and I was able to verify my account. Once that happened, the page just kinda froze. So I repeated the process and when I clicked the "verify email" button, it brought me again to the website but thus time to my profile page. There was no Bootloader Unlock Code, nor was I emailed the code as assured as I was, as per their website suggests. I repeated the process a 3rd time but the same thing happened. And when I tried to went back #2 + #3 times, I input all the information again, clicked on the "send email" link (where they email you the 20-character code) I never received any additional emails. I only received 1 email (the first time I input this into their website). So, the site will only work 1 time per unique phone (serial). I called customer support and got nowhere! I have Metro by T-Mobile Motorola Moto G Stylus XT2043-4. I hope you see this and please let me know if you are able to unlock or get a email code as promised (or not). And if you have any information on how else to solve this issue, please let me know. I hope this helps & my apologies for being a bearer of bad news. If I solve this issue, I will respond back.
