[HOW-TO] How to SuperSU the Moto G5 Plus (Rooting Guide)

Hey guys,
Thanks to @vanche for the modified kernel and twrp recovery and @fayiaz for the guide on how to root and @Johny Cipel for the original guide and everyone else like
@topjohnwu
@santhosh
@abdyasar
For the original twrp, root and other stuff.
Now thats out of the way
Requirements:
-Unlocked Bootloader (Moto G5 Plus with offers from Amazon won't have unlockable bootloaders but if you buy the standard model from them then you'll be fine)
-Vanche's Modified TWRP from here (http://cloud.vache-android.com/Moto/potter/TWRP/twrp-3.1.0-0-potter.img)
- Vanche's Modified Boot Kernel from here (http://cloud.vache-android.com/Moto/potter/root/potter_boot_test7.img)
- Vanche's Wifi Patch because wifi will stop working after flashing the modified boot kernel (http://cloud.vache-android.com/Moto/potter/root/wlan_custom.zip)
- Chainfires Root http://download.chainfire.eu/1021/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip
--- If you already have TWRP on your phone, the one by Santosh, you must flash the one made by Vanche or it wont work and you can just download the recovery image and flash it via twrp by toggling the flash zip button on the twrp recovery install menu.
1.. Download all the three files then boot your phone into bootloader mode by holding Volume Down + Power
2. Connect your phone to your PC and then open the adb terminal wherever adb is located open command prompt at that folder
3. Place the recovery image and boot image where the adb terminal folder is located
4. Fastboot flash recovery first and then boot into recovery at least once then reboot into bootloader fastboot flash boot the modified boot image.
5. Boot into the system (May take a while for the first time after flashing the boot image).
6. Place the wlan_custom.zip into your phones internal storage
7. Boot back into recovery and then flash the zip this time
8. Then download and flash the SR3 Super Su from above using recovery and you should have root!!
Safety net may break so if you wanna use Snapchat or any other apps that use safety net make sure you login first then root. You can't logout or else you'll have to unroot and log back in.

wiping?
do we need to wipe storage in this process?

Did you correctly flash vanche TWRP and boot image? Because you're supposed to do that first and then flash the wifi zip..

The phone will wipe as soon as you unlock the bootloader so best to back up first.

Sorry but what's the differences beetwen this method and magisk?

Only the 'Prime Exclusive - With Offers and Ads' Amazon models don't have an unlockable bootloader, while the 'Standard Version' models can definitely be unlocked. You probably should clarify that or some will think that they can't buy from Amazon and unlock/root the phone.

Will do thanks

The "Magisk method" didn't give me privileges on /system, there are some things I can do and others do not, this method gave me full root access like in the other MotoG devices? And the safetynet check fails too?
Anyway thank you very much!!

What's going to be different than magisk root?

Do you think that will be fixed soon with a newer version of SuperSU, or some "root hider" apps? The idea of running a phone without root is absurd/offensive/rediculous IMO, but I don't want to be denied the ability to run certain apps because the developers have the rediculous idea that running without root should be "OK" to ordinary users? This idea is extremely offensive to me!!!

Guys, I wonder why the OP is "Account currently disabled"? I hate running without root, but, it seems a bit early and not all the problems have been worked out yet, such as TWRP not accessing SDCARD yet - I think I was a little premature buying my Moto G5 Plus as we don't really have "stable" release custom ROMs or fully functioniong TWRP and to even root we have to rely on some not well known sources for kluged files to make SU work?

Root and Magisk on Oreo (oct security patch)

After using this phone for a while I decided to root it.
I unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP and flashed Magisk, but all I get is bootloop or stuck on bootlogo (your device has been unlocked.....)
SOLUTION
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/how-to/guide-how-to-magisk-root-xposed-oreo-8-t3743273
Applicable also for moto Z2 Play, just with appropriate recovery, of course
Please note the updates to the first post. It may be necessary to do the procedure twice.
I tried these TWRPs:
3.2.3.0
64bit 3.2.1
and TWRP and modified magisk from https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-play/how-to/guide-twrp-root-t3667769
I tried all TWRPs with both modified magisk and official v18.
I have XT1710-09 with Oreo and October security patch
Is there a way to root this lastest firmware?
Thanks

I did 3.2.3-0 TWRP method (by Junior Passos) on my XT1710-06 device with 8.0 on August 1 security patch (purposefully neglected updating any further cause method was tested exactly up to August patch according to Passos) and everything seems working pretty fine for a month now. Think I've installed no Magisk modules other than Xposed systemless yet and I've no interest in SafetyNet as well, so not deeply tested either. Don't know for sure, but I guess there's a good chance for such method to work on October patch too. Just be sure to perform every step as it is now in the 3.2.3-0 OP. One word of advice: after performing TWRP backup, look for it in /system/media and move it to both external and internal SDcards just in case something goes wrong (usually because of a missed step, I can say)... Also: I recommend to install Magisk v17.1 first time; then, if you want, update to v18 but right from the installer...

Strange, I have zero magisk problems when using the latest stock rom. Flash in twrp, done, no issues. However, it could be because I first back up boot and system and then restore them with twrp before rooting(this removes encryption).

Have these steps worked for me...
1.)Flash TWRP using Fastboot
2.)Go to TWRP/Settings and open Terminal.
3.)Run both of following commands:
echo KEEPVERITY=true>>/data/.magisk
echo KEEPFORCEENCRYPT=true>>/data/.magisk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4.)Flash Magisk-v17.1.zip
5.)Repeat step 2 and 3 dont wipe.
6.)Start
NOTE: before Reinstall stock or uninstall Magisk.

I did the Junior Passos method of doing the backup, and everything is working like a charm.

Hi, Could you please, tell me which stock ROM you are using and where is possible to get it?
First time I am having problem with Magisk, never had on other phones.
Problem = Bootlop

It's not what rom but, how you do it. When on stock ROM, it is encrypted so you must first back up system and boot and then immediately restore them, this remove encryption. Now flash magisk and it will work.

Regarding backup, this is done through the stock ROM correct (Settings --> System --> Backup to Google Drive).

This worked perfectly on my Moto Z2 XT1710-06 with Oreo 8.0 when no other options worked.
Flash or Boot into TWRP
Backup System and Boot partitions in TWRP
Restore System and Boot Partitions in TWRP (note I had to enable R/W access in TWRP to restore the system partition)
Flash Magisk-v19.3.zip
Reboot
That is it. Now Rooted and passes all SafteyNet test. No more restricted apps. Even Google Pay now works.
Thank You.

[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP 3.3.1-7 Magisk Prepatched ONLY FOR (ROOTED S10 EXYNOS)

After flashing this there is no need to press that key combo (VOL up key + Power + Bixby) to boot into Magisk mode. Just after flashing this image your S10 will automatically boot up in the Magisk mode. And that key combo (VOL up key + Power + Bixby) will be used to boot your phone directly into recovery mode.
Download : PrePatched TWRP S10http://www.mediafire.com/file/c595q9egr42r9fn/Prepatched_Twrp_S10.zip/file
DISCLAIMER : FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE.
IF MY POST IS USEFUL FOR YOU THEN KINDLY PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON
Special Thanks To : All credit goes to @ianmacd For his amazing Work for Twrp and Latest unofficial magisk for S10 family & TWRP Team &
@topjohnwu for his work for Magisk

Installation Instructions for the Rooted Users : Before Installing Kindly Make a Backup Of Your Phone and Internal storage
1. Requires Root : Download The Image File From The Above Download Link. Place It In The Root Of Your /sdcard folder .
2. Run The Following Commands Via Adb Shell
3. After Installation Do Wipe Your Internal storage and Do Not Factory Reset Your Phone Otherwise It Will Cause BOOTLOOP
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/13d60000.ufs/by-name/recovery
Click to expand...

Some Basic Information
1. It is based On Latest Twrp 3.3.1-7
2. If you have a TWRP installed then kindly do not flash it.
3. Kindly make a backup from twrp recovery before making a factory reset in case any thing goes wrong

Is it possible to update to the latest twrp? Thanks.

yes will update it

Unless you have John approval this kind of binary distribution is against the terms of use of Magisk.

Wrongful Magisk Distribution
I am fairly sure John Wu disallows the distributing of Magisk binaries in this way.

i will remove it if it is against the rules

thanks for your magisk(all in one version),do i need use odin flash something first?

I have twrp already installed and I'm on a custom rom rooted with magisk.
How do I install this on my device?

Instructions unclear: Do Wipe or Do Not Wipe? How you can Wipe internal storage and do not Factory reset it?
Well, got a bootloop after first time launching Recovery - phone restarts right in the middle of loading process. Recovery works, I will try to restore previous state.

Ok, so I got it working with ASG8 firmware, but still it loads rooted only with 3-key combo, like usual TWRP - seems like it not works as intended.

[GUIDE] How to Root OnePlus 7T without TWRP

So today with some testers i managed to make root on OnePlus 7T, I want to specify that 95% of the work was done by @topjohnwu (Magisk creator). For now you should use only Magisk Canary files
I will explain 2 different guides:
First Root Guide:
This guide is for a specific rom version, so you will need to use a specific patched boot.img
- Download the patched_boot.img
- Reboot your device in bootloader-fastboot mode
- Flash the patched_boot.img in the boot partition:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
replace "boot.img" with the patched_boot.img path
- Reboot the device
- Install Magisk Manager
Second Root Guide:
This guide is more generic than the first one, you should use this one if you are unable to find a specific patched boot.img
- Download a patched_boot.img (you should try with the latest one)
- Reboot your device in bootloader-fastboot mode
- Boot the patched_boot.img:
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
replace "boot.img" with the patched_boot.img path
- Reboot the device
- Install Magisk Manager
- Click on Install, then direct install and wait the end of the process
- Reboot the device
Third Root Guide:
Guide by @gpz1100
TIPS:
Actually you should use only Magisk canary files Magisk 20.3
You can get the stock boot images from the fastboot rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7t-t3979213
Actually i'm using magisk manager canary and magisk canary debug to patch the boot.img, I don't recommend updating magisk, if you don't want to see the updates install the normal magisk manager
Magisk 20.3 fully support OnePlus 7T and 7T Pro
HOW TO UPDATE a ROM and KEEP ROOT:
Before all Disable all magisk modules
Be sure to use Canary Magisk Manager and Canary Magisk (debug)
You can update a stock rom from phone settings with local upgrade:
- Update the Rom WITHOUT REBOOT;
- Open Magisk Manager;
- In Magisk Manager, click on Install/Install/Direct Install;
- Again in Magisk Manager, click on Install/Install/Inactive Slot;
- Reboot.

I am on 10.0.3 begin so i should flash the magisk patched boot image of this version, is that correct? With what should i flash, sdk tools or any other specific tool? Is there any portable adb toolkit and do i need to copy the not image in the same folder as adb?
Edit : I tried but the device was locked so unlocked it after finding instructions on xda. Never knew it would wipe everything including internal storage also
Need to install everything again and have lost data of last few days. But I got root so that's the only consolation. Also a lesson never to make unnecessary haste. But it's fine. Won't repeat the mistake again.

See OP, its clearly mentioned there. You have to flash this via fastboot and not any custom recovery. Firstly setup adb on your PC and then check the commands. Its very easy. Do some googling and still if its difficult for you, come back and ask.

Welcome to the android scene, reminds me of the old psx scene

I installed some rogue module, that was not supposed to be installed on OP 7T. Due to this, now I am not able to boot into patched boot. I had to re-flash my stock boot.img to boot into my phone. Can you please help? I want to uninstall that particular module thats all. Tried doing something with your TWRP, but it wont show my system or storage at all.

@mauronofrio, thanks so much for this. I had some queries :
1) Is the internal storage always wiped when bootloader is unlocked or did I do something wrong?
2) I have switched off auto-download of updates and also disabled automatic system updates in Developer settings. Is this correct? How to proceed when an update is available in future?
3) Will TWRP be developed or is it not useful for OP7T?

Get your stock boot.img from 1st post.
Reboot to bootloader.
And do this command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Device will boot unrooted.

1. Yes, always wipe
2. Just update as usual, let update go, after installation complete, don't reboot device. Go to magisk, install, install on inactive slot. Reboot. You will be rooted (Warning : this is not tested on 7T, this method from 7)
3. TWRP will be developed but some good dev like @mauronofrio need device for this, as of now, no hopes for twrp. We are lucky that we got root.

Thanks. Yes, root is good enough right now.
By "update as usual", do you mean through OTA? I think the phone reboots after update is downloaded and then installs the update but not sure. So once it reboots after updating, should I go to Magisk and install root?
Should I keep Magisk update channel to Canary or Canary(Debug)? It's already showing an update as available. Should I update it?

In older devices like OP5T it happens like this, not in newer devices. OP7T has seamless updates, its installs while device is turned on in second partition.

So, modules are saved in /data , the only way to remove them without root actually is wiping data, if you can't now, you can just flash the stock boot.img because without root the modules can't work. Usually you can remove all magisk stuff using magisk uninstaller.

Help please. I have returned to Android after 5years with OnePlus 7t and trying to root it. I am trying this method but not being able to successfully root it. Steps I have tried
Went to fastboot mode by restarting the phone but I don't get an option to install the patched image file. And even boatloader is locked. Do I need to unlock the bootloader. And I unlock will I loose my data. Sorry for silly question I have completely forgot about Android.

Thanks, rooted successfully

?
To be honest need video tutorial asap?

Question Installing magisk on gsi?

Is there any way to install magisk on a gsi by flashing a zip file in twrp.
Any help appreciated.

Seconding this question.
I made Magisk work with stock firmware, but I want a custom rom.
Successfully flashed base AOSP on it, and rooted (with the IMEI fix posted in other threads).
But now the Magisk app says its not installed. The phone is still rooted.
I need to fix this in order to access Magisk settings, like hidding Magisk so I can install/run apps that detect it.

custom rom? or a custom gsi. if you found custom rom please link me to it. but for gsi's you can just patch the AP file with magisk flash that with other files then flash twrp then flash the gsi of your choice and once you install magisk manager you should have root.

@Captain_cookie_200 I see your signature: "Galaxy A32 4G (SM-A325F) [Rooted with Magisk, Running Custom GSI] "

just root it as you would on one ui?
i copied my firmware's ap file to phone. opened magisk. chose to select and patch a file. selected the ap file i copied. Now once its done patching it'll show a new file located at your downloads folder. something like magisk_patchex-26000-somwthingsomething.tar
copy that back to the pc. Now put BL Cp and CSC in their respective slots. Put the new patched file you copied from phone to pc in ap slot. start flash. once done. flash twrp and stuff again and once you install a gsi again it shld be rooted this time.
people think magisk modifies system. but in reality it only touches boot and other things. its a systemless root solution as it says. Although these days i dropped magisk for KernelSU and thats what I use now. I'll update my signature
Also the method i wrote above will wipe your data. backup important stuff before doing it.
If you dont want data loss you can Use HOME_CSC instead of CSC file in csc slot. And if u were using a gsi previously. do not let it boot into one ui. otherwise it might encrypt and destroy all your data.

so basically you root the stock, then install the GSI?
yeah, I tried that yesterday and got bootlooped when I tried to boot the GSI for the first time
but today I realize it was data corruption on the memory card i was using
gonna try again. Thanks!
