When I get phone I'm most interested in doing build prop edit for tether, installing custom recovery TWRP for 6P and AdAway would be nice. Loss of Google Pay not a show stopper. Would like to do factory image updates or modified images until custom ROMs and Kernels mature.
Can someone please post idiot proof specific instructions or guide links. I know some basics but assume others do not.
Also interested in verified method to unlock bootloader without tripiing Qfuse.
Any WARNINGS also appreciated, such as if you UnLock and have custom recovery you better not try to ReLock device, etc.....
Free Space? Will 2fs data partion need to be resized on 64gb or 128gb models?
Thanks
Is it recommended to first install TWRP prior to UnLocking Bootloader?
What happens if you try to flash TWRP after unlocking? Bootloop?
Is it possible to Root without modifing Boot? (Angler-mdb08i-boot)(not released yet)
hello chainfire ???
There seem to be only a few versions to root my Yotaphone. Which one is the simplest to run apps such as AFWall+ or AdFree or similar?
If I follow the instructions to flash TWRP, do I get a rooted phone then (e.g., http://forum.xda-developers.com/yotaphone-one/development/twrp-3-0-2-0-yotaphone-2-t3494023)?
I have been thinking to root my Moto X Play for a long time now but I have been thinking about some things lately which are as follows:
1. Can I just Unlock the Bootloader and get root from one click root apps like Kingroot?
Cause I am afraid that TWRP or SuperSU can go wrong and bricking my phone.
2. If no, then what is the use and work of TWRP recovery and SuperSU?
3. Will I get official OS updates, like nougat update is just around the corner.
Please help me out in the above mentioned thing, any help will be appreciated.
1. Kingroot is more likely to brick your phone than TWRP and SU taken together
2. TWRP gives you some extras, like it lets you backup the whole system or flash new roms. SuperSU is under constant developement so it's generallly safer to use than one-off roots like Kingroot
3. No. Official updates (OTAs) are only available for pure stock firmware
Thanks
Can I install stock firmware after rooting?

Sure, but you will loose root. You can't have modified and unmodified firmware at the same time
Is there a working root method for the Moto G4 (Running Android 7.0) yet?
And I'm not talking about the G4 plus...
I desperately want to break my phone free.
There must be one by now.

G4 and G4 plus use the same method, flash TWRP then elemental x kernel and then you can root it With super su or magisk.

I wanted to try it but I have a problem with the bootloader that I can not unlock because my computer is the amazon version that no one could remove said ads in the latest security update NPJ25.93.14.5, if anyone knows of any solution I will be grateful .

This guide shows you how to root with SuperSU https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...de-root-moto-g4-plus-supersu-android-t3587918
Ensure you've flashed a custom kernel such as ElementalX before rooting, else you'll trip anti-rooting protections built into the stock kernel, which may necessitate a re-flash of your stock ROM. You may wish to use newer versions of SuperSU. Alternatively, if you wish to use magisk for rooting, you can have a look at this guide I've written based on the above link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72496111&postcount=270
I've used this method to root a G4 Plus running NPJS25.93-14-8 (June 2017 stock ROM) with magisk 13.3 and have EX Kernel Manager, Amaze and other root utilities running okay. Furthermore, with the built-in root hiding abilities of magisk, SafetyNet dependent apps appear to run okay. I believe SuperSU has a similar addon to hide root from various detection methods too.
Something I've run into with using the stock ROM with TWRP is that Google Play Store may show an error 0 when attempting to download apps or updating. Seems this is related to permissions issues on the data partition and you may be able to correct them with this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73604008&postcount=19
As mentioned above, the same steps should apply to G4 devices (and has been tested on G4 devices). As usual, unlocking your bootloader will wipe your device (as a security measure) so back up your data and move it off your device. You may wish to back up your SD card if adopted as internal storage (or find a way to save your encryption key). Also, requesting the unlock key from Motorola, regardless of whether you use it, appears to void your remaining service warranty.
Futhermore, once rooted, you will not be able to accept OTA updates, and attempts to do so will soft-bootloop your device unless you boot to bootloader and select 'Start' to boot to system. To accept OTA updates, you'll have to revert back to a clean stock ROM (and of the same build or newer - attempts to revert back to older stock ROMs than what you had, especially if you were previously on the March/June 2017 patch level, have a nasty habit of hard bricking if you took OTA updates).
If you're okay with all that, then good luck rooting

Thanks for this. Yes, I'm okay with all of this (I've rooted my previous phones), I'm aware of the risks and stuff. I'll give this a try ?

Um... Could you ask questions in your own forum please? This forum is for rooting help for the Moto G4.

I think he is asking about the Moto G4 Amazon version. So he is in the right forum.

Oh, okay. But even still - I think he should be asking the question individually. Not only would he get more help from people but it wouldn't detract from my post.

Thanks so much! Worked perfectly on the Moto G4.
Consider the question closed
Hi,
I have had my A1 since it first came out and thinking of rooting and flashing Pixel OS on it now. I am currently in latest Android 9 and in Malaysia.
I read up some of the other threads about rooting and flashing rom but there seem to be alot of conflicting instructions and alot of ways to root which is making it very confusing for me now.
Any kind soul can point me the most reliable way to root and flashing Pixel rom?
Thanks in advance
The way I did it is unlocking bootloader and then booting twrp via fastboot. From there you can easily install magisk, custom ROMs, kernels, and other modifications.
Remember that if you want to be able to boot to recovery without using a PC you'll need to flash a twrp installer
