Hello everyone,
I noticed that TWRP is finally supported for Moto G7 Play devices: https://twrp.me/motorola/motorolamotog7play.html
I am curious how rooting is for the G7 Play?
I read some old comments about how the G7 Play has some weird uncommon setup, which makes rooting difficult.
Wanted to get some opinions before I proceed.
Thanks again!

It has been around, but depending on your Android OS number and build, you might be out of luck.
Had mine rooted and working perfectly with Android 9 and I don't remember which build. But then I had to factory reset.
Currently running Android 10 on QPYS30.85-18-11 and it doesn;t work.

Hi
I am a very non-tech-savvy person and i have been using stock rom from always. I was always afraid of getting myself into some issue which won't be reversible. But now i have gathered some courage in installing a custom rom such as lineage os.
I have LG V20 H910 (att version) and it is on stock rom. I tried rooting it with kingoroot but it failed. Then i searched for its solution and came to know that V20 cannot be rooted by these software because its bootloader is locked and it needs special way. Well i didn't try and continued using stock rom.
Then i came to know that V20 is in the process of getting android 8 update soon from a android authority forum and i am still waiting.
I posted before in V20 forum that i am on a very old version of android 7 with patch level of December 2016 in this thread.
I am now thinking of installing the lineage os 14.1 which is the latest for my model. I tried searching for known bugs and issues and came to know that lineage os for h910 doesn't support second screen as of yet. Is there any solution or workaround for this? Because i love using the second screen.
2ndly i wanted to ask, if i unlock the bootloader and root the device, can i install the international version of v20 rom or it is not possible.
Please help me with these. I will be very thankful to you for your honest help.

I don't have this device but, your better off obtaining device specific guidance either from the following Official LineageOS thread or the Q&A thread that's specific to your device.

Hi!
I am thinking about updating my Moto G5 cedric to oreo, but I have a couple of doubts before starting.
I am on stock, so which is the best way of upgrading given my situation?
Especially my doubts are about my software channel and build number.
Thanks to everyone in advance!
I think rooting and flash oreo twrp is the best way to update
I've been reading some webs that install lineageos on a LG G8 trough TWRP it this possible?
I have a LG G8 At&t ??* stuck on Android 9
You'll need to root your phone and get TWRP to work (there's a guide for it somewhere in the guide section of this forum). After that you should be able to flash a GSI (https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble).
As far as I know the G8 is an AB device, you should still check with an app though.
Just be aware that not everything works 100% of the time, it's hit or miss with GSIs. Sometimes Bluetooth doesn't work, sometimes sound doesn't, sometimes calls aren't available etc.
Make sure you really want to commit to that.

Hello,
I have a Brazilian G8s currently running February security patches on ver. v10b-BRA.
Unfortunately LG Brazil is ignoring us and has not even given a estimated date for the release of Android 10 on the phone, so I came to ask for your help hahahah
The only method I have seen that seems like it would work is to install a leaked Beta using "activity launcher" as described in this forum post but I would like to use a more stable release of A10 if possible.
I have rooted an Android phone a few years ago, so if that is required I believe I could do it, it would just be a lot easier to have some kind of guide to follow, as I have found a lack of resources regarding this kind of firmware flash on the G8s...
Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance to anyone who is able to help me out! I just want native dark mode and gesture navigation hahahah
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g8/how-to/rooting-g8s-guide-t4044193 there is the rooting guide, it works flawlessly on EU version of G8S. I am not sure which firmware and its magisk_patched.img should you use, maybe some from beta? Hopefully they will later deliver Android 11 in Brazil... https://www.androidauthority.com/android-11-update-tracker-1155652/

I am not sure if this works on BRA G8s, even if it is an EAW model.
Tried it anyway just now but the adb reboot bootloader line on cmd says there is no device found, even with the phone with developer mode etc. turned on...
Thanks for your help anyway, I will try unlocking the bootloader again later and update the post if it works!
