Ok Now that you have a hang of your device, you probably want to explore your options and maybe install a Custom Rom. Well, the first thing you will need is to Root the Device.
So what really is a Root ? Why should I do it ? Would it break my Phone ? How about my Warranty ? All legitimate questions. To start off, here's an easy guide by Lifehacker. This whole concept may seem mystical to some of us. Let me try to make it pretty straightforward. Rooting is a process on Android that effectively grants you superuser access. Think of it as Administrator access on Windows. Android is a derivative of Linux. So those from Linux should have no difficulty with this concept.
There are certain operations that only a Superuser can do. Hence you'd want to root in order to so. For ex, remove any application that is installed as System application. Just like on on Windows, Root access does come with risk, so you need to use it with care. Just because you have Root access, does not mean your phone is broken. Typically making wrong changes to system with Root access, will result in affecting smooth operation of your phone. In extreme cases, the device may be Bricked if incorrect software (Rom, Mod or others) is flashed.
When it comes to Warranty, typically Root as such does not void your warranty. But if you end up flashing anything with a custom Recovery, then your Warranty may be voided.
Rooting -
Ok so, I got what Root is and I need to be responsible in what I do. How do I get the root ? Well the first and basic thing would be to install appropriate drivers for Windows.
Next in order to Root, please follow this thread by @paulobrien . As you will see, there are two ways to go about it. Both do require your Bootloader to be unlocked. However, neither method, applies to the Google Play Edition (XT1032) as there is no supporting Custom Recovery for this variant.
If you do not have or do not wish to unlock your bootloader then you can opt for @oasoas014 's method of bootloader downgrade. You may also visit @Cooptx's more detailed guide. Note, with the most recent recoveries, you do not need to downgrade your bootloader.
Note - Flashing a bootloader is inherently dangerous. You can possibly hardbrick your device if you flash incorrect bootloader. Always check the MD5 value of downloaded file.
Only In Case of Moto G Google Play Edition (XT1032), it is possible to unlock the Bootloader on your own. You do not need to pay to get an Unlock Code from Motorola. Instead, you can follow the same method as Nexus or other Google Play Devices. Here's a nice tutorial. For those technically minded, here's Android Source Documentation of the same process. Once unlocked, the bootloader cannot be re-locked unless you flash a signed system image, (which Motorola has not made available as of 01-22-2014).
One of the first things you should do upon Rooting is to backup your PDS Partition.
[SIZE=+1]How to backup / restore PDS partition and why?[/SIZE]On Motorola devices the 'pds' partition contains information specific to your machine: IMEI, MAC address, serial number, etc. This partition can be lost by accidental format or over time due to filesystem corruption. If you have made a backup, there is a good chance you can bring your handset back to life.
==> PDS backup will help to restore lost IMEI. It is a situation when the phone reports that the IMEI is unknown. ; This works like a vaccine, apply before having issue with IMEI, after it will be too late !
Instructions:
**Root Required**
Using ADB you can make a copy of the partition and move it to a safe place (Google Drive?):adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/pds of=/sdcard/pds.imgTo restore in the event of corruption or loss:adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/pds.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/pds(assuming you've pushed pds.img to internal SDcard storage first)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once rooted, some of you may wish to stick with that and not proceed any further. With root, you will want to remove some of the apps that you don't need. I wish to suggest that you take a complete backup with a tool such as Titanium Backup. That way if you accidentally uninstall/remove something that's critical to android's operation, then you can restore it. For those of you, who wish to install custom Rom, read on.
The first step towards installing a custom Rom is to install a custom Recovery.
Please note, In order to flash any custom Recoveries, you need to have unlocked Bootloader. The viable options are either follow this guide or get an unlock code from Motorola.
Custom Recoveries -
A Custom Recovery is a unofficial Recovery Console that can be flashed to your device's Recovery Partition.
Typically unofficial recoveries offer several advantages over Stock or Official Recovery. Hence the unofficial recoveries are necessary in order to flash a Custom Rom. Apart from flashing a Rom, Kernel or any other firmware, unofficial Recoveries can also take Nandroids.
An unofficial Recovery is also commonly referred to as Custom Recovery. There are two major projects that contribute Custom recoveries. One is called CWM. The other is called TWRP. Given bellow is a list of Custom Recoveries available for your device.
Note - CWM and TWRP recoveries do not support the Google Play Edition variant (XT1032). You will need to wait for Motorola to release the Kernel source code before @a1Pha can support. However Philz Touch does support Google Play Edition.
CWM Recovery v 6.0.4.5 by @a1Pha -
This is the ClockWorkMod Recovery for the Moto G. Head over to the thread for more details.

Thanks for mentioning. I have made rest of the changes except for the 2 Root methods. Will add them to the Op. All changes are done.
Between the two methods you have mentioned, the basic premise of bootloader downgrade is pretty much the same right ? Your's seems more elaborate list of steps. Or am I missing something ?

All user in india get OTA without registration your IMEI? Why same build of beta? No change or fix before release a official release?
MM in this day appears on Malesia but on beta...
http://club.vmall.my/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2709&extra=page=1
Huawei rollout H7 and not your topgamma Mate S and P8..
Your device get OTA without registration IMEI?
More information please...
Post screenshot of device info and changelog that appears on update app.
Thanks
however i disagree that guys open update/mod post without device and test before or in this case share beta test. Not usefull for user because if ask a question about installation, issue or other you can't help.
But if Community agree no problem for me.
Only one thing post MD5 for your download because on drive sometime package is not complete or bad download... and std user can brick your device.
Have a nice day.

I am working the new version which will have alot of features. It has alot of work, we are getting rid of that userinterface for 3d using ogre3d. The new version will allow you to choose which interface you preffer, but I'll concentrate on the 3d version. It will also include mtk flashing where you will just choose like say infinix 551 (remove frp) or readbackup format etc, devs will have access to a new mtk flashing system to add new phones support.
FOLLOW MY PROGRESS WITH THE RE-ANIMATION EDITION ON TRELLO
The new cloud_commander will function with a service.

Device and Project Presentation
In 2015 the Chinese company EStar launches on the market the Takee 1. An octa-core smartphone with an astonishing Holographic 3D technology developed by the german Seereal.
Despite the cutting-edge hardware, a low price and the big innovations in the field of 3D and AirTouch... the phone does not receive the big success it deserved, Estar closes down and the last official software update dates back to 2015, leaving the whole system stuck to Android 4.2.
But today, 5 years after the last update and the closure of the company, I continue what the far-sighted EStar was doing, studying 3D technologies and releasing a new Android 7 Software Update.
I had to face many difficulties but...
making an Android 7 ROM from just an Android 4.2 base is now possible!
Let's go guys!

ROM OS Version: 7.1.2 Nougat
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.4.67
Version Information
Status: Stable with some bugs
Created 2019-11-02
Last Updated 2021-10-16
TWRP by Mik-el - Download and Instructions
To flash an Android 7 Rom You must use an updated TWRP custom recovery!
I made a new TWRP for Takee 1 and I released 2 versions
TWRP 3.1.1. here
TWRP 3.1.1 with OTG support here
Instructions and Screenshots are included in the previous links.
Rom Download
Free Download, Virus Free (just use "slow download")
v 1.1-------------> here
v 1.2-------------> here
v 2.0-------------> here (10th March 2021)
v 2.0.1 Bundle*---> here (9th April 2021)
v 3.0 (3D) and Bundle*--->here (16th October 2021)
* = Bundle includes= ROM + Optional Stuff among: Google Apps, SuperSU root and Magisk!
Google Apps
Google Apps 2021. Most lightweight version possible. We love privacy, so they're optional.
I made a flashable .zip to install them from TWRP recovery but it seems not working for me, you can test it and let me know.
Magisk or Root? What do you want?
I want Magisk = Rom 2.0.1 is pre-patched for Magisk (boot.img). After booting the ROM just install the Magisk Canary apk. (Apk included in the 2.0.1 bundle you have just downloaded).
I want Root =before installing the 2.0.1 ROM, take the "boot_unrooted.img" file inside the 2.0.1 Bundle you just downloaded. rename this file in "boot.img" and replace it inside the .zip file of the ROM. Now you can flash the ROM and then flash SuperSU through recovery

CRC32: 8436c496
General Advices about Takee 1
Don't use the original charger, probably you have a good one but it gave problems to most of the users
Don't try to flash this rom with SP Flash tool, you can't, follow the instruction I'm providing here
Instructions to flash the ROM:
Backup 3D calibration files or you'll lose the 3D effect forever. Internal and External storage -> "Android" folder -> "HolographyProfile" file and "matrix" file. To know more about 3D calibration, read this! Also, backup your important data, as always;
Boot your Stock Rom and check if you still have these (or other) Air Touch games in your phone storage.
Fruit Ninja (it looks like this)
Sector Strike (it looks like this)
This game (it looks like this)
This other game (it looks like this)
Shadow Snake (it looks like this)
Tunnel Trouble (it looks like this)
If the answer is YES, go to step 3. Otherwise, go to step 4.
Spoiler: YES, I still have Air Touch Games
These Air Touch games can't be downloaded anymore! The Takee 1 3D store is offline! Now you can help the Takee community preserving these games for the future. You just need 1 minute. Download the ApkExtractor app (2.4 MB), save the games on your external SD card and upload them somewhere on the web! Then, you can flash the new Rom.
Download and Install the updated TWRP custom recovery made by me, if you haven't done it yet:
TWRP 3.1.1. here
TWRP 3.1.1 with OTG support here
Download my Rom, it's a .zip file;
Copy the Rom file on your MicroSD;
Once you have installed the recovery you can boot into it;
"Wipe" -> "Swipe to Factory Reset";
"Install" -> select the .zip file for the Rom -> "Swipe to flash"
"Reboot" -> "System"
A tip to Improve Rom Performance
Use the Rom for a few minutes and see how it performs. After that, open the fstrim app included in the Rom and use it to trim the internal storage of you device. This will be the first trim you'll phone has received in 6 years, since 2015 ! It took me 3 trims in a row to fully trim my /data partition. Now see how much more responsive the phone has become!
How to solve Camera Bug for ROM version 1.1
Open the "Reboot Manager" app and do a quick/warm reboot, now your cameras work!
Spoiler: Click here for an Alternative Method
Go to Settings
Go to developer options
Activate "extended reboot menu"
When you want to use the camera:
Long press power button and select "reboot" - you will be asked, which type of reboot you want to do
Select "warm reboot"
Camera is now working!
Definitive solution
Will be solved in the next release.
Help me with testing and support me to get an invincible Rom!
Next updates
Full 3D and Airtouch Support
Camera ready at boot without warm reboot
"Mik-el Rom Updater" to update the system with one touch
Bluetooth Fix
whatever you want!

ROM for Holographic 3D smartphone
Thanks! This ROM will bring a fresh air and new lease of life to EStar TAKEE 1, the first ever Holographic 3D smartphone launched in 2015 at an affordable price ($100-150). Nobody will need to buy an extremely expensive RED Hydrogen One at $1200.
The 3D community will rejoice!
The amazing resources of PHEREO are available to all lovers of 3D Stereo Images and Photos.

Select an image and click Wiggle... if you do not have a smartphone with 3D display.
My advice is to install the PhereoRoll3D app too!
https://github.com/JackDesBwa/PhereoRoll3D
NewPipe - to download 3D videos from YouTube
https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/
INVIDIOUS - to download 3D videos from YouTube, VEVO, etc.
https://www.invidio.us/
Plenty of resources for 3D lovers that justify buying a device with 3D display.
interesting. this phone is still good.....

More than ViperOS developers we need someone that has experience with rom porting.
I made more than 7 releases for this ROM and @io2345 tested them all!
We solved the failed installation problem, now we just need to solve the bootloop.
The porting process is OK, the updater-script file is OK, file permissions are OK...
I don't know where the problem could be!
Next time I'll use another porting guide. (there are only 2 guides and one didn't work since now)
Instead of ViperOS I'll also use a LineageOS rom as port rom.
Let's see what I can get.
(Stay tuned subscribing to this thread and collaborating with us, cheers)

GPIO pin numbers in the Circuit Board of EStar Takee 1
I hope there is a solution for camera bugs introduced by luckasfb in his latest kernel of EStar Takee 1.
Some KitKat kernels share both cameras (Sony imx135_mipi_raw and OmniVision ov5645_mipi_yuv) with EStar Takee 1.
However, it may be down to GPIO pin numbers in the Circuit Board. That is why I want to know the Circuit Board ID number, the physical address number of each component and GPIO pin numbers of camera sensors of those devices.
That info is included in the kernel source code of BQ Aquaris E5 FHD.
@giotogo can you find this information inside your EStar Takee 1 device, please?
Circuit Board ID number
GPIO pin numbers of camera sensors in the Circuit Board
Take detailed photos of internal components
Take detailed photos of internal numbers printed in the motherboard.
This information may help find other devices that share an identical Circuit Board ID number. This list of most compatible devices is useful. Hopefully, It will enable to choose the easiest Android 7.1.2 Nougat ROM to port into EStar Takee 1.
It also provides crucial information for changing the GPIO pin numbers of both cameras in the KitKat kernel source code of EStar Takee 1.
Bug in power for cameras GPIO pins in codegen - EStar Takee 1
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79024675&postcount=1361
The video below shows how to open a device and find the Circuit Board ID number.
However, my guess is that it boils down to the physical address number of each component and GPIO pin numbers in the motherboard. This enables to direct each camera driver (front and back cameras) to a specific address in the Circuit Board (GPIO pin number). This is the info that luckasfb tried so hard to find, trying by hand hundreds of combinations for GPIO pins. He did not open the case of his EStar Takee 1 device.

@io2345 how are you doing? It has been a long time since we last talked.

Some KitKat kernels share both cameras (Sony imx135_mipi_raw and OmniVision ov5645_mipi_yuv) with EStar Takee 1.
However, it may be down to GPIO pin numbers in the Circuit Board. That is why I want to know the Circuit Board ID number, the physical address number of each component and GPIO pin numbers of camera sensors of those devices.
That info is included in the kernel source code of BQ Aquaris E5 FHD.
@giotogo can you find this information inside your EStar Takee 1 device, please?
Circuit Board ID number
GPIO pin numbers of camera sensors in the Circuit Board
Take detailed photos of internal components
Take detailed photos of internal numbers printed in the motherboard.
This information may help find other devices that share an identical Circuit Board ID number. This list of most compatible devices is useful. Hopefully, It will enable to choose the easiest Android 7.1.2 Nougat ROM to port into EStar Takee 1.
It also provides crucial information for changing the GPIO pin numbers of both cameras in the KitKat kernel source code of EStar Takee 1.
Bug in power for cameras GPIO pins in codegen - EStar Takee 1
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79024675&postcount=1361
The video below shows how to open a device and find the Circuit Board ID number.
However, my guess is that it boils down to the physical address number of each component and GPIO pin numbers in the motherboard. This enables to direct each camera driver (front and back cameras) to a specific address in the Circuit Board (GPIO pin number). This is the info that luckasfb tried so hard to find, trying by hand hundreds of combinations for GPIO pins. He did not open the case of his EStar Takee 1 device.

@io2345 how are you doing? It has been a long time since we last talked.
I may have found a solution for the bootloop of the Viper ROM ported by @Mik-el.
Can you test this method, please?
Yurim, I'll try my best to get it done the next weeks. Currently time is a rare factor...
As far as I know, the device of Mik-el is working now (more or less). So it might be a good idea to let him try this method himself.

Found the time today and tried the method via fastboot. Sadly to say, it doesn't change anything. Phone keeps bootlooping.
@io2345 @giotogo
I'm chatting with @blacklisted.rock on telegram. He said he'll send me a better porting guide.
Me and @YuriRM have already chosen a new and better rom to use as port rom.
The failed installation/ updater-binary errors were already solved in my last viperOS port.
Hopefully this time we'll get a booting Android 7 rom.
Regards

why you need this damned phone?
Hi everyone, I am also the owner of takee1.
I haven't used it for a long time, but when I saw that someone was doing something to bring it back to life, it gave me hope.
I would be interested in updating it with a more current rom, since 4.2 is no longer compatible with anything!
I hope it will be possible soon.
These Chinese continually churn out new models, but never firmware updates!....shamefull!
June 2020 Updates: Rom ported! Now we need a recovery!
June 2020 Updates: Rom ported! Now we need a recovery!
Guys, I've really faced a lot of problems when trying to port this rom:
1) I had to wait 5 months to receive a working battery from China, thank you Corona Virus...
2) university... XD
3) porting guides on the web suck, I had to contact many people and study many articles and video guides... until I had to make my own porting guide...
4) some tools to extract boot.img files extract .img files, but with a wrong structure!! (and I discovered this just recently!)
5) I had to change the port rom, now I'm not using a ViperOS rom, but a RidonOS rom from a Micromax device much more similar to Takee 1 (more than 90%of the hardware is identical)
6) I want to thank you @io2345 for helping me to test over 10 roms!! We had to exchange almost 100 mails to bring you a new and updated Rom!!
Anyway after all this FREE effort I think that I finally got a working Rom !! (correctly ported!!)
But we dhave another problem now...
We discovered that the custom recovery we use on Takee 1 (twrp 2.8.0.0. developed by @luckasfb ) is too old to support Android 7! We need a new custom recovery, probably a twrp 3.0 or above.
I've already researched new material and guides on the web. I found a guide that seems to clearly explain how to port a custom recovery to any device.
The process is simple, it consist in the extraction of the recovery from an Android kitchen in Linux, the rest is about replacing files.
Is this the end, or not?
Anyway the process is long and boring...
I'm quite busy with exams, life a few other projects...
I don't know if continuing this project is convenient for me at this point...
If someone wants to help me and @io2345 please leave a message hereunder, I'll leave you links and infos about the recovery porting.
Cheers!
A reward of 20 euro is awaiting your delivery of a fully working Android 7 ROM + custom recovery.
I expect @io2345 to reward you as well:
Regarding TWRP-3.1 custom recoveries for EStar Takee 1, I did some porting attemps from 5-19 November 2017.

TWRP for BQ Aquaris E5FHD
https://twrp.me/bq/bqaquarise5fhd.html
Current version
twrp-3.4.0-0-vegetafhd.img
Hello everybody ! I flash my P10 lite Was-Lx1a it is full unlock (paid € 4 with DC-unlock) French-europe ok !
Dowgraded TWRP to 3.3.1
ARMv8-A / HI6250 / Kernel 4.4.23+
Mali-T830
I tested two rom:
- AOSP 10 (sd card problem with camera) I did not find a solution = inconclusive format - unable to take pictures.
- Lineageos 17.1 (headphone problem and unable to install Netflix ...)
I prefer the Lineageos interface! I do not know if I have correctly installed all the Gapps, please tell me, here a link so that I can compare. Thank you in advance.
I don't know how to check if the los_patches_warsaw.zip patch pack is properly installed!
Little information in "about the phone" at the bottom on "build number"
I have this error message: / preas / xxx not found in /product/hw_oem//parent_cust.cfg
I do not know if it is due to the fact that I had to swip the CUST with TWRP
About the sound on Lineageos, on speaker it's ok, but in headphones it's ok for 1 second ... too metallic and weak rendering with variations of "glitch".
- I disabled audioFX in the software, without success.
- in the menu "Phh treble Settings / misc features" i tested disable and activate "headset / headphones" option Force headset switch (huawei), without success!
And the two options "set rouded corners diameter and Set forced / faked rounded corners diameter" = I don't know the usefulness.
Alright ! If you have the tips for me, I Take it !
Thanks for your kindly and tutorials.
Before I was on Emui 8.0, updates stopped on this phone. So if you have higher custom Roms. Please give me the links.
I thank the team, you are doing a good job!
Kiss you and take care of yourself and your loved ones.
