Hi guys ☺,
I bought today G4 eu model,it came with Marshmallow 6.0 V20d version.
I want to root it because of Greenify and Xposed,to increase the battery time,maybe later to flash some rom but...
There is a lot of topics on this subject,I started to read but I'm lost right now...as far as I saw,I can't root Marshmallow without unlocking the bootloader,only Lollipop,right?
Is it a big trouble to go back from MM to LP?
I'm not new in this flashing and rooting stuff,I had (still have) a Motorola Razr XT910,I flashed it 100 times for sure for 3.5 years but I didn't had to unlock the bootloader (it's impossible anyway) and there's a custom recovery Safestrap,modified Twrp which allows to flash and use 6 different roms,from JB to MM,without changing the kernel...
I will be grateful if someone can point me in the right direction,to give me some useful links etc.
And is there some list which procesess are safe to freeze with TB and which ones I can greenify?
Oh,and the bloatware too...
Sorry if I'm demanding but I want to bring out the best from this phone
Thank you in advance

Hi,
root without unlocking bootloader works only on lollipop, right. Not sure if u can downgrade, but when, u will use "LGUP" tool with the "H81510D.kdz" file. Maybe there exists a pre-rooted kdz to flash.
If u want to root android 6, u need a unlocked bootloader. Rooted Android 5.1.1 or unlock bootloader with rooted android 6.x.x
Ok,I successfully unlocked the bootloader but now I'm stuck with rooting and installing Twrp...
I've downloaded BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247 and TWRP-3.0.0.0-H815+ but there's a lot of metods,which one should I use?
Flash SuperSu+Twrp with stock recovery?
Install Twrp with adb command and then flash SuperSu with Twrp?
Install both with adb command?
I also saw somewhere that I must flash some other kernel that is already rooted...
I just need root and the Xposed for now,help me guys!
Im also Confused..Where can i find rooted kernel?
I already did this Method u said...But I got Boot Loop
Then I revover my phone with Lg Bridge
We need to find this.....I also Had Android MM with V20d

In my case I wasn't able to flash recovery on the stock kernel, I had to flash boot.img unpacked from the custom kernel like SimpleGX and only then I was able to flash recovery and full kernel through it.

the method i followed was-
1. boot into twrp recovery with adb command(you need to have the twrp.img file in PC and also copy it in internal memory of your phone with SU)
2. flash systemless root with twrp
3. reboot
4. install flashify
5.flash twrp.img from your phone.
6. done
but there aren't as much benefits of rooting as any other phone. viper4android doesn't work. spirit fm doesn't work. xposed doesn't work properly.(these 3 were the main reasons for which i rooted)

I didn't know i could flash something other than .zip files with twrp.
As for viper4android i tried normal way, flashed it with twrp, flashed extreme music mod with v4a fix. None seem to work. The drivers never get installed.
Xposed i haven't tried. I was in process of getting more information about it by reading various threads. But all seem to point to problems like bootloop, fc and Bluetooth issues. Can you guide me towards the best version of xposed for v20d with way to avoid problems or with as less problems as possible?

I think doesn't need to install recovery to root the phone.
Just this:
1) adb reboot bootloader
2) fastboot boot TWRP-2-8.7.0-h815.img
Wait a second and it will open, on the phone, the recovery.
Once open go to Advanced -> ADB sideload and take a swipe to start it where it says "Swipe to Start sideload".
Now on the PC write
3) adb sideload BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247.zip
( If it says after the instalation to install supersu etc just abort it)
And then, when installation is complete, press "Reboot System"
I rooted it this way, without install TWRP Recovery

Yeah - but the question has to be asked - why unlock the bootloader and root and not install TWRP? If you've got as far as unlocking the bootloader you might as well make life easier for yourself and install TWRP - that way anything you want to flash in the future can be done without being tethered to the PC, and also allows you to take proper full system image backups etc.

Of course , i agree with you. By the way, we can't root g4 on m6 without unlocked bootloader.
And finally, i decided to pass twrp on my phone, for every file i want to install from twrp, and not every time to boot from pc
You're right
p.s. the first thing i did after twrp installed, was to install g5 live wallpapers
Hi, I have bought used here in Italy a op3, when turn on in the display I can see a message about the bootloader unlock, and so I think that the previously owner have unlocked the unit. Now I have a problem with the update, I have tried with ota and with USB but the phone stop the update and show me the message installation failed, then I can only reboot. How I can relock the Bootloader? Thanks in advance for your help.
before you re-lock the bootloader you should make sure that you are running the stock oxygenOS rom and receovery, see below:
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...lus-3-and-go-back-completely-to-stock.456232/
thanks for your reply, I, think that the phone now running with OxygenOS 3.2.2 stock, so I can directly relock the bootloader? If I do an hard reset the bootloader will be relocked?

you might be running OOS 3.2.2 stock but still have a custom recovery - boot into recovery first just to confirm that you have the stock recovery as well
still if you have a custom recovery, it's easier to get update. Just download the full rom and flash it with TWRP (I don't think there is another custom recovery), it won't wipe the data. Even if the previous owner did a slight modification on OOS 3.2.2, it will overwrite it.
updates can be downloaded many days before the OTA appear on the phone.
Ok I think that I have a custom recovery, TWRP working with non rooted phone? I have checked and my phone not have root. Please can you explain how I can update through TWRP?
if you want to stay unlocked and use TWRP that's fine, but note that you will need to MANUALLY UPDATE every time if you're on the stock OOS ROM.
if you are not comfortable with this, follow the instructions on the link i sent you to get back to full stock with stock recovery as well, so updates OTA work correctly.

2x4 thanks for your help, I not have any problem to keep my phone unlocked, but I don't able to update not even in manual way, maybe I wrong something.
I have enabled usb debug on op3, have connected the phone to my laptop and opened minimal ADB, then have downloaded the oxygenOS 3.2.4 put the phone in sideload mode, cecked the connection with adb devices command and the phone is connected. Then writed adb sideload and have dragged the oxigenOs .3.2.4 . but nothing happen in adb minimal and on the phone. After a bit the phone give me the same message that appears when I try to uptade through ota, installation failed an I can only reboot. Thanks again for your suggestions.

sorry, im not really sure what you mean, but if you're following the instructions on that post step by step and verifying what you get it should work.
You need to successfully flash the full zip to get the stock rom+recovery on there

the bootloader being locked or unlocked is irrelevant - your issue is your non-stock recovery.
the full Oxygen OS zip includes the stock recovery from OnePlus, which OTA updates are programmed to use to automatically update your phone.
since you have TWRP recovery instead, you'll need to download and manually flash OxygenOS
download the full ZIP for 3.2.4 from this thread and flash it via TWRP recovery:

Hi,
Problem starting oneplus 3, let me explain.
1) purchased oneplus3, 4 months ago.
2) Rooted,updated oxygen 3.2.8 with TWRP recovery3021 and super SU 2.74-2
3) updated oxygen4.00 with twrp32128 and super SU 2.79SR2 everything was fine.
4) Received OTA update through VPN for oxygen 4.0.1 (30mb), installed but unable start instead it was always going into twrp mode.
5) i changed twrp recovery back to 3021 and install stock oxygen 3.2.8,was working fine.
6) Now i wanted to UNROOT the device and back to stock so that i can get OTA Oxygen 4 and 4.0.1.
7) i followed steps below,
a) downloaded oxygen 3.2.1 and stock recovery.img
a) fastbootloader, and connect device.
b) fastboot devices
c) fastboot fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
d) fastboot oem lock - when i used this command and accept YES, screen got black and no further instruction for ADBsideload.
8) i used to restart the device in recovery but black screen, fastboot loader working.
FASTBOOT MODE
PRODUCT NAME - ....
VARIANT - MTP UFS
BOOTLOADER VERSION -
BASEBAND VERSION -
SERIAL NUMBER - .....
SECURE BOOT - enabled
DEVICE STATE - locked
9) and if i start the device in normal it asked for screen pattern lock but my existing unlock pattern doesnt work.
10) by using all the chance for screen pattern unlock it showed DECRYPTION UNSUCCESSFULL, clicked on RESET PHONE but again screen black in recovery mode.
11) NOW if i start my device it again shows DECRYPTION UNSUCCESSFULL and asking for RESET PHONE......
What to do now.....

Device is back to stock, this method is used by One plus asstance for unbrick hard bricked device by remote control your PC. Then device is back to completly stock. No root no custom recovery etc. You Can now use OTA for update or using adb sideload or manually flash the entire ROM from sdcard. Thank you for appreciate :good:

just wanted to highlight the things you did that caused the issue
1- flashing the stock rom through twrp, it's possible specially with the latest TWR0-11 but not advisable, you better always flash stock recovery and then sideload rom (full rom not update) and then fast boot TWRP back and reflash root... any other method always causes issues...
2- the 30mg updates do not work on a rooted device
3- unrooting without immediately sideloading rom will always cause the black screen and loop to recovery, it's not required to unroot unless you want to go back to full stock experience...
4- this the biggest problem you made, you relocked the devices bootloader, you also did it while the device has a lot of issues (some mentioned above) so the device bricked instantly, if you are planning on unlocking the device again ...NEVER NEVER relock the device again , there's no need to do that , all you need to do to go back to a full stock experience is to wipe everything in TWRP , flash stock recovery then wipe everything again from there, then sideload full rom (latest stable version) , then for good majors in the new rom recovery wipe everything agian and boot to system and from system do a factory reset. then recharge your device to 100% and re encrypt it if it's not...after that you're 100% on a full stock exerience and will receive ota and it'll work... and at that state only (without root or TWRP) you can relock the bootloader (which is gain not necessary at all, there's no benefit to it)
Anyone has the latest(released Feb 16th) oreo OTA full stock firmware from T-Mobile?
I tried pulling it from a logcat. Was going to fastboot flash it since I can't install it while rooted. Every url I found in the logcat gave me a 405 error though.
I got another Moto Z2 Force today. Fresh out of the box TMO. Came with the OCX27. I have not yet taken the update. If someone can guide me on how to extract the OTA That'd be helpful. Only thing I am willing to do so far with this new device is unlock the bootloader that's it. I will not root or install TWRP until I can extract the OTA and attempt to fix my other device stuck in an unknown baseband no IMEI state. I got there by attempting to install TWRP and root with Magisk.

It's hard to explain. You have to capture the moment the phone grabs the OTA file from Motorola's update website.
Enable developer options
Enable ADB
Plug phone up to a PC that has updated ADB binaries
Open terminal/command prompt
Adb shell
Logcat
After you do that your terminal of choice will start spitting out the log.
Run the system updater.
Download the OTA. At that moment, one of the logs should give you a VERY long URL. That's the download link you're looking for.
Copy and paste into your browser. You should be auto downloading it.
Done
Very stupid question, but I have to ask, because Moto is a bit wonky on bootloaders and updates, etc.
I'm currently on OCX27 and I've got the notification to download OCX27.1. I do have an unlocked bootloader and I am rooted with Magisk. Since I have not overwritten the recovery partition, can I take this update? On most other phones I have, I've been able to restore the stock recovery partition, flash the update, and flash TWRP back on, but on this Moto, I chose to boot twrp for loading magisk via adb. Make sense? If I'm not able to take this update, can I shut these update notifications off? They are already off in dev options.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, I am wondering, if I am on ocx 27 do you guys think the 27.1 ota will install in adb sideload as it won't install in ota and I am not rooted. Also, is there a way to extract the bin in the ota?

I will not root or install TWRP until I can extract the OTA and attempt to fix my other device stuck in an unknown baseband no IMEI state. I got there by attempting to install TWRP and root with Magisk.

Did you get your second Z2 rooted and if so did you use magisk v16? I just got a Z2 today that is on the December 1, 2017 security patch, OCX27.1, Android 8.00 and I'd like to root but hesitant. I have already unlocked the bootloader, placed magisk and twrp-3.2.1-1-nash zip(s) in internal storage, and know how to fastboot boot into recovery, I just don't want to brick my new phone. Any help with step by step instructions once I'm in TWRP to flash magisk is greatly appreciated! Do I need to do any of the following: Keep system read only or allow modifications before flashing magisk? wipe data/factory reset, mount storage, wipe cache and dalvik after flashing? Thanks in advance!

All you need to do is grab the latest twrp img and zip file from twrp. Should be version 3.2.1-1
Then fastboot boot the img file, then once in twrp you want to flash the zip file, then when that is done reboot back into recovery
Then simply flash Magisk and reboot. Done.
How should I properly Flash Stock Firmware?
New to Moto phones and wondering what the correct method is for reverting to stock? I downloaded the 27.1 Oreo zip from this thread, do I flash it in twrp or should I flash it in adb from the bootloader? I get the following error message in twrp whenever I wipe dalvik/cache, try to install a zip, or do a backup which always says fail. I need a fresh install and re root, etc. Thank you!!

you can not flash with twrp. open the zip and see if there is a "flash-all.bat" file as well as adb and fastboot files. if not then pull them from one of the other flashall zips and add them to 27.1 zip. boot your phone to the bootloader, connect usb cable to your device and pc, then run the .bat file.

Factory reset gets the same error message shown in the attached photo. Thanks for the info, unfortunately I'm still a bit confused. Is this the only method to return to stock? I've searched but I'm not finding much and this method is completely new to me. In the past I've used Odin and LG up with my other devices, this is my first motorola. If I wipe internal storage in twrp will that erase the OS and need a new install? I am thinking that may clear up my issues but nervous that the phone won't boot up after that. Thanks and my apologies for my noob questions.

unfortunately other than manually fastbooting each img file to your phone this is the only way. check out this https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-force/how-to/to-stock-roms-t3672859

Here's the official 27.1 firmware. The flashfile.xml has the correct order and commands to flash in fastboot, or search xda for the converter to a flashall.bat.
Sent from my Moto Z (2) using XDA Labs
My Nord n100 is updated to the android 11 security patch of August 1, 2022.
I've seen a lot of threads here for rooting methods, but none seem to match my phone's exact build and model (Build number: Oxygen OS 11.0.8.BE81AA) and Model: BE2013)
Can you guys please suggest a root method, and custom rom that is compatible with my device's build and model number.
Thanks.
2013 is the easy one, all methods work (maybe). There are no custom ROMs available for the n100 though, unless you want to run GSI, which is a hassle and has limited options due to partition size.
For root, I recommend downloading the OTA payload, extracting the boot image, patching it in magisk and then flashing it in fastboot.
If you prefer a relatively simple method you can install this TWRP and flash magisk zip from storage.
On some phones you can't see any files with this TWRP so you have to sideload the zip from ADB on PC. To do this disable MTP in TWRP, open ADB Sideload in TWRP, run adb sideload magisk.zip in ADB.

I think i'll try your recommended method, downloading the OTA payload, should I just download it from here? because the one on there is 11.0.7.BE81AA, but the one I currently have on my phone is 11.0.8.BE81AA

Just to clear up, you said you had the 2013, but also say BE81AA, which would be 2015 (i think). It doesn't really matter though, since both are unlocked and have available OTAs.
You just HAVE to be sure to get the same OTA that's on you phone. So version number (11.0.8) and model (BE81AA or BE83BA) have to both match.
11.0.8 just rolled out so might be a few days before it's up on that link. But it's the correct place to find it.
If you just rolled up from 11.0.7 then you can change slot in fastboot (google command, i forgot) to get back on 11.0.7 Once rooted on 11.0.7 you can install magisk to inactive slot and get back on a rooted 11.0.8.

So I've attached screenshots of my settings, can you please take a look and let me know which variant I have 2013 or 2015, it's a bit confusing
That is super strange. First, i meant to type 2011 not 2015. But i don't understand why your says 2013 and 81AA. Those are not the same 81AA should be 2011. My brain hurts.
