Yes,its working...
REMOVE ALL OTHER ROOT...working or not befor installing magisk....may end with....something you dont want...
Maybe it would be best to start with a freshly factory resetted phone.... (anyway,to erase all errors in TWRP,youll format/data so... )
you need bootloader unlock... followed instructions HERE don't forget to OEM UNLOCK in /settings/Developer section on phone..(enable it while pressing repeatedly on Phone version (in ''about phone also in settings)
You need MINIMAL ADB on pc...HERE
You need TWRP recovery installed...HERE
but before doing all that...BE SHURE to have the original UPDATE.APP (firmware from huawei) somewhere on your pc
you will need the BOOT.img from your original firmware... (extract it from the update.app (update.zip for huawei firmware)
HERE
extract the boot.img somewhere on your pc... like on your desktop...
then,youll need 2 magisk things...
the LATEST magisk ZIP file...
and the LATEST MAGISK APK...
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS (from Magisk post...i did it and its working :silly: )
Installation Instructions
If you already have Magisk installed, you can directly upgrade through Magisk Manager
For installing Magisk the first time
Make sure to remove any other root, best to restore your boot image back to stock
Via custom recovery:
Download the latest Magisk zip file
Reboot to a custom recovery and flash the flashable zip
Via Magisk Manager (Only support v14.0+):
This method does not need root, and also does not require a custom recovery.
However, you MUST have a stock boot image dump beforehand, and also be able to flash the patched boot image, either through fastboot/download mode or ODIN
Install the latest Magisk Manager
If you're planning to flash the patched boot image through ODIN, go to Settings > Update Settings > Patched Boot Output Format, and select .img.tar. For normal users leave it as the default .img
Press Install > Install > Patch Boot Image File, and select your stock boot image file
Magisk Manager will now patch your boot image, and store it in [Internal Storage]/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img[.tar]
Flash the patched boot image to your device and reboot. Voilà!
Check whether Magisk Manager is installed and the version matches the latest one in the OP
If for some reason Magisk Manager isn't installed/upgraded automatically, please install it manually
the ADB method is the best...
after reboot,in magisk app,youre supposed to be GREEN checked....
after that,if all green,you can FIX that DATA problem in TWRP...saying cant mount or blablabla...
DO a backup cuz yess,youll loose everything... Hisuite for your apps
in twrp, FORMAT DATA... ...wipe data factory reset...re install your things then,youll be able to do recoverys ect. in twrp
dont forget to RE INSTALL magisk APK after formatting and factory reset
IT WILL take some time TO BOOT... so let it do its thing...
Now about magisk modules...all of them ive tried ended in (blablabla not a magisk module)...
no big deal....just dload the zip and look for the app or file in it... and apply to where it belongs... like new Oreo Emojis...ive dloaded the zip,found the file, then paste the file in /system/fonts...then reboot
now...if i made a mistake somewhere in my explanations well... sorry....
WARNING
IF youre device is bricked or what so ever... its not MY fault....you do that on your own......Ive done it,followed MAGISK instructions and its working....
Not shure about it...DONT DO IT....
DON'T DO TWRP backups with fingerprints/nip/code unlock methods activated on your phone... i had to factory reset phone cuz code was not working.
YES there's a way to recover anyway... THANKS HENKATE
Regarding fingerprint, boot in recovery and go to advanced > file manager and delete data/system/locksettings.db
Then advanced > terminal and type:
cd data/system
rm -rf *.key
Then reboot and you won't have secured lockscreen
MAGISK modules are HERE
Magisk MANAGER is available on PLAYSTORE
BEFORE making a twrp backup... (after data format ect.)...
you may want to FIX the huawei theme manager not working problem for some of us... the FIX is HERE
Thanks to Henkate
Youll need a good file system manager...i'm using ROOT EXPLORER and theres that new FX file explorer

Does it work in the non plus Nova as well? Any experiences?
Worked on Can-L11. Tested. No need format data, in twrp tree, i add img, that work with encrypted data.
I can't get this to work on my MLA-03, i have TWRP installed and unlocked b/l. I tried to flash RR and Lineage but getting "can't mount" errors up the ying yang. Anyone with MLA-03 got any tips? Is there a certain recovery that is recommended?

did you format data as f2fs? If yes, magisk doesn't go well along with it. If no, then you would get better support at magisk thread

TWRP 3.3.1 & Root for Moto 1 VisionThanks to the efforts of yuri-2016 and and my humble contribution, the TWRP 3.3.1 was made from scratch and a new method of Root was tested.
Accept this gift from the bottom of your heart! :highfive:
Instructions
USB debugging must be enabled on the phone and the bootloader must be unlocked!
1. Download attached archive TWRP_Root_Motne_Vision.zip and extract files from it in the following order::
- .bat executive file and vbmeta.img to the folder with the firmware files;
- TWRP-3.3.1_Motorola_One_Vision.img to \adb\ folder.
- TWRP-3.3.1_Installer_Motorola_One_Vision.zip, Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt.zip, Magisk Installer, MagiskManager copy to External SDcard in your phone.
2. Load phone in fastboot mode, then connect it to PC, then start an executive file .bat. At the end of flashing the phone will reboot into bootloader-mode and then TWRP again.
3. In the Recovery at the very beginning we put a checkmark in the checkbox to avoid this request in future, and give permission to modify the system for writing.
4. Go to the Wipe page and run the Format Data for decryption. Enter "yes" for the request. Exit to the Main Menu and reboot to Bootloader.
5. Attention! You mus BOOT into Recovery mode (DO NOT INSTALL it !), through the command:
Code:
fastboot boot C:\adb\TWRP-3.3.1_Motorola_One_Vision.img
6. Flash an archive TWRP-3.3.1_Installer_Motorola_One_Vision.zip which will make TWRP permanent.
NOTE: If you want to keep the stock Recovery , do not install this archive, but in order to boot into TWRP you will need to run the command from Step 5 every time.
7. Configure TWRP via “Settings”-page (time, time zone, language, etc.) as you want.
8. Go to “Install” page and flash the Magisk Installer , and flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt.zip
9. Reboot in System. Phone will reboot several times, don`t worry. Perform initial settings again.
10. Install MagiskManager.apk, because the application installed in the system generates an error and does not start.
Now your device has a custom recovery TWRP and Root rights! :good: :victory:
01/10/2019 New instruction have been made
30/09/2019 New build TWRP !!!
Fixed: Removed the "Enable MTP" button.
Note: Who will reinstall the new TWRP build over the old one, follow these steps:
1. Download new TWRP_Root_Motne_Vision.zip
2. Load into Recovery mode via the command:
Code:
fastboot boot C:\adb\TWRP-3.3.1_Motorola_One_Vision.img
3. Install TWRP-3.3.1_Installer_Motorola_One_Vision.zip
4. Flash Magisk installer, Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt.zip.
5. Reboot in the Recovery again.
6. Try to adjust the brightness, connect USB-OTG, check the absence of the "Enable MTP" button.
Old instructions
Friends! I got the Root for this device.
I'm not saying it's the only way to get a Root. I suggest something I used on my own device.
You are responsible for everything you do with your device!
Getting Root was performed on firmware XT1970-3_KANE_RETEU_DS_9.0_PSA29.160-30
Attention! The process of receiving the Root will delete all your data from the device.
1. The bootloader must be unlocked on the device beforehand.
2. Extract files from the archive https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xgTVlIXOFWq59I1-D9bnRlj1heJycT_I :
- vbmeta.img, vbmeta_patch.img and boot_patch.img to the adb folder;
- MagiskManager-v7.3.4.apk to a convenient folder for you. It will then need to be copied either to the phone memory or to the SD Card.
3. Load the device into fastboot mode and connect it to your PC.
4. Flash vbmeta.img with the command:
Code:
fastboot flash vbmeta_a vbmeta.img
5. Flash boot_patch.img with the command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a boot_patch.img
6. Flash vbmeta_patch.img command:
Code:
fastboot flash vbmeta_a vbmeta_patch.img
7. Load the device into the system by pressing the Start button. Phone will reboot in Recovery where there will be a warning that it is necessary to execute Factory reset. It is necessary to give your consent.
The phone will reboot several times again, don't worry.
8. Perform the initial setup. Install MagiskManager-v7.3.4.apk.
9. Launch the MagiskManager application. He will offer to update the application, click the Yes button. The phone will reboot.
Your device now has Root permissions and access to the system!

@ilia3367 before Root and after unlock the bootloader when I touched the system update option, it said: "system integrity is compromised" now after Root when i touch it , it check for update again. It means that I can update the firmware via ota?

Magisk probably hides the bootloader status so that update check works, but it will most likely fail during install. At least that's how it works on moto one and moto one power.
On moto one I either reflash current build without wipe and then take ota and re-root after, or just flash the update if I get them early, and re-root-

I don't think it's possible. The system must be completely virgin to update the OTA. Then why do I need a Root? I need it to customize the system.

Thanks a lot. I just unlocked my BL for the second time and this root method is working fine.
May I ask if you just used magisk manager to patch boot, cause when I do I get error on flash.
Code:
(bootloader) is-logical:boot_a: not found
Sending 'boot_a' (33792 KB) OKAY [ 1.172s]
Writing 'boot_a' FAILED (Status read failed (Too many links))
And how did you patch vbmeta?
I'm just curious since this patched boot isn't the latest and I wonder how to make this work with the latest boot.img from September patch update.

The reason it's not mentionned is simply because we can't, we just need to download latest firmware and patch it with magisk.
topjohnwu stated ( and i tested it myself ) that if we flash the latest OTA it will brick the device, which is logic.
We need to patch the latest firmware with magisk, if we go from a rooted environment to a non rooted it will brick.
I hope i cleared your thoughs.

exactly, download the needed firmware and extract the AP file and put it in the download folder on your A71 device, then patch it to obtain a magisk_patched.tar file to flash in odin.

Thanks, and about unlocking bootloader, is there something I should be aware of after that ?

Thank you, and got another question (sorry ), on your booting instructions, you say that to boot using using magisk we need to press vol+ and power, but will that be possible to boot as usual with power button and boot with magisk by default ?

Nope you didn't understood, you can't root without unlocking bootloader.
It is not working
I downloaded hungarian firmware from frija, copied the AP file to my phone, patched with magisk, copied the patched file to my computer, booted my phone into download mode, flashed the ap file with odin (and yes i unchecked the auto reboot), and after it finished, I pressed the volume down and power button to reboot, and when the screen went off, I quickly changed to volume up and power button and hold until the bootloader warning appeared, and realased all buttons. After it booted, i opened magisk manager and it says magisk is not installed what can i do? ( and yes, I unlocked the bootloader)
Source code is up and can be downloaded on here! :
https://opensource.samsung.com/uploadSearch?searchValue=A715
I've tried rooting several times to no avail, I've unlocked and flashed everything with the patched magisk setup, I'm using the SM-A715F BTU firmware as that's what my phone was beforehand
When i try and do the volume up boot then release at the warning screen it just does a reboot cycle and never boots I have to force it it shut down and boot normally
I cant even restore phone to a point where SafetyNet validates so no Pokemon Go and such
can we unroot and recover the samsung knox?

Ok ladies and gentlemen I finally got it working, and here's what I had to do
You'll need to install 7zip or something that handles TARs and LZ4 that you can grab from github it was the second result on google for me
Once you've patched the AP file in Magisk Manager and copy it back to your pc, Open up that tar file and delete all files except recovery.img and vbmeta.img
Then open the original prepatched AP file in 7Zip and extract the boot.img.lz4 then take that file and drag it onto the lz4.exe from the lz4 utilities
you should now have a nice clean uncompressed boot.img, put that back onto the phone and patch it with magisk manager, you should now have magisk_patched.img copy that back to the pc and rename it boot.img and put it in the tar file from earlier so you should have boot.img recovery.img and vbmeta.img
With just these 3 files in the tar you dont have to worry about wiping your data again and it will patch pretty fast
Open up ODIN again and select AP and choose your new tar file and flash it
Then shut down the phone fully and power it on while holding vol up till you get to the warning screen about the unlocked bootloader let go of vol up and press power to continue and you should find that it boots properly now and magisk manager will show that magisk is installed.
So after you unlocked the boot loader ( see my previous post)
you can start rooting with magisk manager / patching the boot.img from the original firmware
I used this thread in order to get root ; i modified the contents so it would fit the moto phone a bit better:, but thnx goes to Ibolito over at the pixel 3 forums
1 ) Download the latest Android factory image for your device ("see this guide on where to find it.
2 ) Extract the "boot.img" file from the downloaded image and copy it to your phone.
Warning! Make absolutely sure the firmware is exactly the same as the installed one. If not, you might loose touch.
Be aware that LMSA will download the latest firmware, even if it is not yet installed. That might break your touchscreen

3 ) Download latest Magisk Manager application on your phone and install it :
Link
4 )Press on the Install Magisk button (the one on the top, not the Magisk Manager), then Install > Select and Patch a File and now select the Boot.img file you extracted earlier. When the process is done, just put the patched boot.img file on your computer in the same folder as your ADB and FASTBOOT tools, the file's name is magisk_patched.img
edit: i received a comment that the name might be something like Magisk_patched_somerandomletters_.img since the latest magisk update
5 ) Enable adb debugging on your phone and connect it to your computer via USB.
Open a command prompt on your computer and migrate to the folder where the ADB and Fastboot tools are located.
(for exemple, for me it's : cd C:\adb).
7 ) Reboot your phone to fastboot by typing adb reboot bootloader
8 ) Flash the Boot.img you just patched with magisk by typing fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
extra: You could test a single boot with that image by typing "fastboot boot magisk_patched.img"
if it boots fine you should have root for this single boot / magisk would show as installed.
9 ) When it's done, reboot by typing fastboot reboot
10 ) Open your Magisk Manager app and check if everything is good, and it should be
extra info:
I did worry a bit because the original boot.img is 64 megs , while the patched version is only 12
but i went with it, and it was fine.
good luck to you all
Edit: rewritten entire post so it would look more like a guide, and extra warning because a lot of people seem to loose touch if they don't have the exact same firmware downloaded as on their phone.
Thanks for posting this. I unlocked my bootloader and would like to root like you did.
Do you install magisk first on your phone, then get the magisk_patched file from your phone? Or is the magisk_patched file obtained somewhere else?

You need to install the magisk manager
In magisk manager you can click on "install (magisk)"--> "by patching a file"
then you select the file to be patched ( extracted from the original rom )
after that you can copy the patched file from your phone back to the pc and install it via fastboot.
After that magisk is installed
i hope you succeed

The firmware I see is the EU firmware. I don't see the GB firmware in the link you posted (it's RETGB). Any idea where I can find the correct firmware?
Sorry, no idea, i found the provided link via google,

No fastbootd?
One Hyper needs fastbootd in order to flash boot and root

i don't really understand the question i guess,
a magisk patched boot is flashed via fastboot. after that you have magisk installed and root access.

Yours should be G8 Power (9)
Native Android 10 uses fastbootd to flash boot, dtbo, and recovery

maybe i'm missing your point here, my description is just so people who have to figure it out can just use my steps to get root, it is indeed based on fastboot flashing . so i'm not sure what you are trying to say, or am i misinterpreting something?

I did root on One Hyper (shipped with Android 10) using fastbootd method
Used old method soft brick my One Hyper
That's why I'd like to know

I used this thread in order to get root
you need to download the firmware for our device,
That can be found here;
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/sofiar/official/RETEU/
after that, extract, patch, fastboot install patched version, done.
I did have some issues with the current magisk manager ( from highonandroid, i did find another source, installed version 7.5.1 of the magisk manager from this source
and that one was able to patch the boot.img
I did worry a bit because the original boot.img is 64 megs , while the patched version is only 12
but i went with it, and it was fine.

There's a head up
US version: Sofia
The rest: Sofiar
I will buy US G Power in May and let's the fun begin
Check out One Hyper general to install Dolby Atmos and it can be toggle on/off.
Has anyone tried copying something to the root of the phone or making build.prop edits? I have the Stylus and have achieved root using the same method, however there is something not quite right with the permissions. I cannot make changes to any root files.

So you should know G Stylus ROM is Sofiap.
Be aware the way Android 10 flashing is different.
Download and install the latest ADB in order to access fastbootd (fastboot reboot fastboot) and flash boot, recovery, dtbo, vbmeta, and super
Hmmmm, I will have to read more about fastbootd in your other thread.
I did use the boot.img for the sofiap.
Hello,
I followed all the instructions in the first post and was able unlock the bootloader, install magisk, and use it to make the magisk_patched.img file from a boot.img file.
The only variation, was that I got my boot.img file from mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/sofia/official/RETUS/XT2041-4_SOFIA_RETUS_10_QPM30.80-13-2_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip since my phone is a US retail model.
After flashing, the phone boots up properly but the touchscreen does not work.
The side buttons do work and I was able to reboot into recovery. In recovery, the build on the phone is indicated as QPM30.80-51. The build in the above indicated file is QPM30.80-13-2. Could this be the source of the problem?
I have tried flashing the original boot.img (from the file above) back and the touchscreen still does not work. I have also tried “wipe data/factory reset” in recovery.

Thanks for finding this link.
Unfortunately i am not able to download this for some reason. I get an access denied error message.
edit:
I was able to find the most recent firmware here:
github.com/AndroidDumps/motorola_sofia_dump/tree/sofia_retail-user-10-QPM30.80-51-bd0b4-release-keys
I downloaded just the boot.img file and flashed it. That fixed the touchscreen issue. I then used magisk to batch the boot.img and I now have root.
Just to be clear, this worked on a US retail moto g power purchased unlocked from best buy. The phone model number is XT2041-4.
Hope this helps.

I downloaded the kernel and waiting for the unit.
I can flash full ROM with fastboot and fastbootd, but just flashing kernel would be much faster.
Moreover, check One Hyper general to get Dolby Atmos because you can turn on and off anytime you want.
hello all, i have an moto g8 xt2045-1 rav, with android 11 Is there no guide to root? magisk I have read that they lose touch ability. thanks
Not sure where you got that info, but I am writing this on a rooted XT2045-2 (i think the only difference to yours is color).
TL;DR: get the boot.img, patch it on the phone using the magisk app, and flash it on the device.
If you have unlocked the bootloader you can skip the following:
- Before you start reconsider if you really want to unlock the bootloader.
- Please note that unlocking the bootloader can and will cause you to lose the warranty on the device.
Here is a website that explains how to unlock the bootloader.
Once you have done that, you need the magisk zip file which you can find online.
From here I will assume that you know how to get into the bootloader.
I personally was unable to get TWRP on android 11, but in case you have it or any other custom recovery, and it works, you can try installing the zip.
If you cannot get a custom recovery, you will have to get the boot.img file for your device.
There are a few ways you could do that, those being finding the stock rom on lolinet and the official LMSA pc app.
I personally like the LMSA method more, as it automatically detects and downloads the correct stock rom.
What you are looking for is the boot.img file.
In case you get the zip from lolinet just extract it and skip the following steps.
In case you are using LMSA, get into the rescue and just download the file, you don't want to rescue the device.
Once you have gotten the zip, extract it and get the boot.img file.
On the device, boot into the system normally and install the magisk app like any other apk.
Transfer the boot.img file to the device, then open magisk and click on install magisk.
Select "choose and patch an image" and select the boot.im that you transfered earlier.
Once that is done you will see the path to the modified magisk-boot.img file (it will have a different name) which you have to get onto the pc.
Once you have the modified boot image and the bootloader is unlocked, go into the bootloader and flash the modified boot image on the device. (fastboot flash boot boot.img*)
*change boot.img to the actual file name
Feel free to ask questions, I tried to make it as detailed as possible.
