Hello guys, last week I was thinking about rooting my z play, and for that I was supposed to unlock my bootloader. That's not difficult to unlock it since you don't do anything wrong, following every step of the guide you found. However, there's something different on this device, the custom recovery. I'm not able to find a thread saying that there's an official release of TWRP for Moto Z Play, and even if I'm not finding an official one, all that I can see is just for Nougat, version 7.1.1, but I want it for Marshmallow, 6.0.x because I want to get back to that version, IMO Nougat uses too much battery comparing to Marshmallow, that's one of the reasons.
Could someone please tell me if there's a trustworthy TWRP img that I can use in 6.0.x to flash either Magisk, Super SU or any other root app?
That's all guys, hope someone can help me with that, THANK YOU ALL SINCE NOW!
Obs. Currently I'm not even unlocked because I want to do everything at the same time, until I don't get a trustworthy custom recovery to flash those zip files, I won't do that. Thanks.
Why cant you just flash the lastest twrp version? And flash an rom?

Because I don't know if the latest version is really compatible with my device, since I've gone to TWRP website and checked if my device was there... Aaaand, it wasn't at the compatible devices list...
So I'm worried about that...
Any help with it?

Guys,
I need help regarding root of Stock ROM Lollipop. 5.0.
I unlocked boot loader, flashed twrp recovery but when it comes to flash rooting tools (Android revolution hd rooting tool) it does not flash and does not root the ROM. In recovery it says failed/ unable to mount cache ...
Am I doing something wrong or it the zip file which may not be compatible with stock rom?
Do you guys have any zip file which can root stock rom or the best would be if there is any rom already rooted but not modified. I like to stick to stock rom but want to get rid of bloatware.
I appreciate any advice, help or solution which may you provide to me.
Please do not ask me to search on google or XDA because I already did it and bother many people in the specific forums. As a result that they could not provide me with the solution I was forced to write in Help& Troubleshooting forum.
all the best,

Don't use a tool.
Download the update SuperSU.zip from here and flash it in recovery.
After the flash, find SuperSU in your app drawer and open it. You will be prompted to update binaries. Do that.
That's it. You are rooted.

I second that. The tool used by the OP is probably not updated to work on Lollipop.
Also, OP should make sure to run an updated version of TWRP (2.8.7) as anything but the last few (several?) versions of TWRP will not work on the Lollipop hboot.

Thanks a lot guys.
I'll give a try.

Just wondering if it's safe to upgrade to the new oxygen OS update on a rooted op3. I know you can't upgrade from marshmallow to nougat but a smaller OS update is OK?
Sure, you can update it. But keep in mind that you'll lose root, so you'll have to flash SuperSU (or whatever you're using) again.

Cool it won't brick my phone or anything? I want to download the beta so I can just install it and the re root my phone? Sorry new to all this.
Yes, you can safely update to beta. Just make sure you have modified TWRP 3.0.2-22 before flashing. Official TWRP 3.0.2-1 doesn't play nicely with new firmware in community builds.
So:
1. Flash TWRP 3.0.2-22
2. Upgrade ROM
3. Flash SuperSU
4. Done 🙂

Nope, and even when it's bricked it's fixable.
Thanks. I bricked my oneplus last week and it was so stressful getting it unbricked so just a little nervous .
Also if you're unencrypted (like me), oos will require SuperSU to even boot
Hi guys, I'm on the international beta rom but it's quite outdated now and I'd like to get up to speed with the OTA's.
I download the full version for flashing in TWRP as i'm rooted but it asks for a password everytime.
Apparently I need to format the internal storage to get past this, but I don't want to lose all my apps and setup etc. Is there anyway to update without losing root and files etc?
Thank you in advance,
Andy
The beta is based on Android 7 Nougat, right? And the stable is currently still based on 6.0.1. If you mean you'd like to get back to the stable channel I think a clean flash is the only option. You might be able to restore your data via TWRP but I'm not sure if that's OK when downgrading from 7 to 6. Maybe someone else can confirm this.
I'd say the best option would be a fastboot clean flash of the full ROM and go from there. Then you can reflash TWRP.
thank you for your reply, but I'm not on nougat at the moment, I'm happy sticking to the beta channel but as I'm rooted I can't OTA update to newer beta version which would be nougat.
Cheers,
Andy

In that case, follow the steps I mentioned but using the Beta Fastboot ROM using the Mi Flash tool. Make sure you select "flash_all_except_storage.bat" and you'll keep your data and apps during the process. Once the device is booted, just make sure not to root and you'll be able to OTA to new beta roms when they are released.
Here's a link to the full list of Fastboot flashable ROMs. You didn't mention whether you're on Helium or Hydrogen, so make sure to pick the correct ROM for your device.
Good luck!
I have a ASUS_Z00AD with Android 5.0 and I'm looking for a way to root and install TWRP. I want to be able to install custom roms and all the info I can find is either outdated or has broken links to download files. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
As you're running 5.0,
You can find official unlock all from Zentalk, and the n flash the root/magisk in this forum -- the most viewed one is still working.
As I am also new to XDA I can't send outsite links, sorry about that I can't provide the link.

I'd say first, upgrade to MM with the official ASUS firmware, available on their website ; then use this tool to unlock and install TWRP :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/bl-unlock-ze551ml-toolkit-t3546293
then install BORETS24 ROM, root is included with Magisk.

Hello all!
I am an user of OnePlus 9 pro (T-mobile). I don't want the pink startup screen, and I found a lot of resources here can help me on it.
I have backup all my personal data. I have unlocked the sim and bootloader (using the official unlock_token.bin). What is the next step?
I am lost here since there are some different posts (and some posted last year, I am not sure if this still work or not).
Thank you all!
Flash a rom or custom oos
First off do not update to A12, make sure USB debug is enabled, auto updates disabled....do that and I hope you are on A11...if so, I have exactly what you need

I would stay away from custom roms, I have seen too many people having problems. Secondly as of right now, A12 is buggy so that is why I stay with stock A11 from T-Mobile. With the setup I can give you, you can have any custom bootanimation and custom systemwide font you want.....
First off, download and install Magisk v25.2 app from GitHub website and install it to your phone. Next download the attached file to the folder with your platform files.....
Download Magisk from this link to your phone and install it.
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v25.2/Magisk-v25.2.apk
Then download this link to your platform tools folder on PC...
Download twrp-3.6.2_11-0-lemonadep.img
Download page for twrp-3.6.2_11-0-lemonadep.img
dl.twrp.me
Then download this link to your phone storage...

Let me know when you are down with these three steps!!!!! And are you updated to 11.2.9.9

Yes. I have successfuly updated 11.2.9.9 now.
I have a question that would this work? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/le2127-oneplus-9-pro-custom-rom-t-mobile.4490195/
I am interested in Android 12 or even 13 if possible.

If you are focused on upgrading to A12 or A12 then what I have will not work. As for the custom ROM, possible it may work, but you need to follow the steps to the letter. Any OP9P custom ROM will work from the XDA forums, the question is, will there be issues? Very possible. Good luck on your journey.....

Been running nameless for over a month and a half now and haven't had a single out-of-the-ordinary problem that can't be fixed with a simple reboot. I have the T-Mobile variant here. Data works fine.

I understand about the concerns about custom ROM. I am confused that is there any official Global or EU ROM available ?

Thank you for all the help today! I think I did something wrong. I successfully get TWRP (directly boot, not recovery since it is failed), and then get my phone bricked flashing the rom lineageos... Now I am trying to unbrick it...

Bricked as in black screen? Or does it boot to fastboot? What version of lineage are you trying to run? And what OOS were you on? You need to be on OOS 12 to run lineage 19. And twrp is not the recovery to use for that.
Look before you leap.....read read read and make sure to follow ALL steps 1step at a time.....
