Hello everyone,
Today I was able to root the VZW Moto E 2015 with the Kingroot app on 5.1. The Kingroot app said there was a method available and I decided to try it.
Simply install the app on your phone here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=16614
The root sticked for me upon reboot!
**I later found it was a hobbed root. You can't make changes to the system partition but you do have SU capabilities. (like you can run hidden apps and menus or block system apps, not remove them)
I still got root failed

You downloaded the latest one right? Keep trying rebooting the device. That is what I had to do.
After 3rd try it worked !!! thanks OP!
Edit: root lost after reboot
...but is it full root, with full /system read-write access? Some people have been able to get hobbled root via Kingroot on 5.0.2, but /system remained read-only.

I don't know, root checker works. How do I test?

Choose a bloatware app that you don't mind losing, such as NFL Mobile. If you "Disabled" it in Settings > Apps, re-enable it.
Install a file manager that has the ability to browse/edit the full filesystem, such as Amaze (https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=com.amaze.filemanager) or Root Explorer (in Play Store).
Open up the app and go into /system/app or /system/priv-app and look for the folder related to NFL Mobile (you'll know it's the right folder if the apk inside of it has the NFL Mobile logo). Delete it. If it deletes, that's a good sign. Reboot and see if the NFL Mobile icon is still in the app drawer, and open up the file manager again and verify that the files you've deleted have stayed deleted.

Wow. Everything fails. Kingroot says I got root and stays upon reboot. Titanium Backup acts like it woks but resets after reboot. Very weird.

Yeah, looks like you have hobbled root. While the su binary is installed, the system partition is still in read-only mode. While you'll be able to use apps that only need root privileges to read files/settings, you won't be able to edit the system itself.
Has anybody got it working? What are some signs of it working (i.e. 2 reboots, no reboot, etc.)?

It is indeed the latest Kingroot
Also tried for 50+ times maybe, sometimes got root sometimes failed---even if got root, always lost root after reboot

If someone gets root again, try to run Sunshine (bootloader unlock). You don't have to pay to see if it'll work.
As a heads up, sunshine fails with an error telling you to contact the sunshine support with your IP address if it continues.
Also, was able to back up the existing boot and recovery using flashify. I flashed the typical recovery used for other surnia devices, but when I tried to boot into recovery, it failed.
It got hung up in fastboot and gave check errors.
It did not keep me from booting back into the rom, so I was able to reflash the original recovery after re-rooting.
Yes, is only temporary root for me on 5.1.
I purchased supersume earlier today with the hopes of ridding myself of kingroot, but it immediately force closes. I trust the kr app about as much as I trust esfile explorer now...

If you have Android 6.0, you do not have the XT1528.
Your device (XT1521 or similar) can be bootloader unlocked and you can install a custom recovery and can flash root.
The device being discussed in this topic (XT1528) cannot be bootloader unlocked.
Hi, I want only simple root I should not want to unlock boot loader and twrp recovery,,, because I don't have pc,, I want to root with phone,,,can you help me regarding this,,,thank you for you response

Not possible. The only known way to have permanent full root is to unlock the bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader is necessary to make /system mount as read-write.
Yes, I understand.can you please send me the procedure to unlock the bootloader.so no body have mentioned correctly in websites and YouTube... So send me the steps to unlock bootloader and root the andriod
Hi Guys its Rootjunky here and i put together some files for you. Note that this system images is based on custom build version BLU_R0010UU_V6.4_GENERIC and if you use it on other builds you make have problems.

How to remove amazon ads and ota updates
Steps
1. Download SP-Flash-Tool-Remove-Amazon-Ads-plus-ota-updates.zip
2. Extract the SP-Flash-Tool-Remove-Amazon-Ads-plus-ota-updates.zip to your desktop. Note 7zip is great to extract files.
3. lauch Flash_tool.exe
4. select scatter-loading and browser to load MT6735_Android_scatter_R1_HD_NO_ADS.txt
5. click download button to start.
6. now plug your phone into the computer. to boot the device to preloader and start the flash. You can do it two ways: 1. power off the phone and flash will start or 2. From a powered off stat power on the device while plugged into the computer. either way will start the sp flash tool.
7. once the flash is complete you can unplug the device and reboot it. Congrats you have removed the ads and ota updates from the Amazon Blu R1 HD. Bounce you have also enabled bootloader unlocking if you want it.
NOTE: ads may still be on the lock screen after this process if so please factory reset the device to remove those ads that are saved in userdata. or if you follow Bootloader unlock Method 2 steps 1-8 your userdata will get wiped in the process
Nice. I already have no ads though.
A couple of questions just to be sure, do I have to be on OTA 6.4 to follow the procedure?, and what do I have to do after that if I want to unlock the bootloader?, use the bootloader unlock script? do I need root and TWRP?, thanks for your awesome work
Edit: Nvm I checked your updated post, he added all the answers HERE, still don't know if I have to be on 6.4 tho

How do I factory reset the device to remove those ads on the lockscreen. I have looked everywhere in the settings menu with no luck. I saw the video rootjunky made and followed step by step, but can't find the factory reset button. I am new to Android.

Does this restore stock recovery, boot and system images? Or just System? Do you have a version of SPTools with all three of these?
What exactly is needed to remove the ads? (excluding flashing an entire modified system partition.) What has been modified in this partition?
EDIT - nevermind, i figured it out
I followed your root method and bootloader unlocking video prior to this, what steps would I do to remove the ads.

Just flash the files in sp flash tool a d thats it
My apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but I followed the guide to root and unlock the bootloader. Out of curiosity I downloaded titanium backup and froze Amazon Offers. I haven't had any ads on the lock screen since then. Rebooted a few times and it seems to have worked. Is there any benefit to going through this process rather than what I have done?

Thanks A lot that worked like a charm.
For people not willing to download 1.3GB of data to remove a few files I updated the original ad removal post with TWRP install files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67892852&postcount=567
It's only 3kb
This updated method remove the need of wiping the data and will remove all ads, even the one currently displayed on the lock screen.
Root or exposed are not required (only TWRP obviously) so it won't affect the device security.
I created 2 scripts, one to clean everything, the other one leave the Underground app store in the system, your choice.
If you use it a lot, it's nice as it will update the apps automatically without the need of allowing unknown sources.
OTA are disabled by renaming the updater. Safer than the previous method (pm disable and pm hide), and safer than deleting if we need it later.
would flashing the stock system image from non ad version also work.?
I have BLU_R0011UU-V12-GENERIC 27-06-2016
I have the 16gb no ad. the file is 2.6 gb so dont want to upload it if it will not be of any use
just picked up the lg k20 plus from t mobile today. from what ive read its similar to the k10, ive tried all the basic root methods, king root fails, the lg root tool fails, anyone out there got any help, i cant seem to even get it to go to download mode, tried vol up with volume and nothing, tried vol down, nothing. its running 7.0.... helllppp!
really.............nobody
Bump
you have to oem unlock the bootloader in fastboot. which i have done and will try the root method you were talking about
Awsome finally somebody who has some info. Im at a loss. Dont wanna brick it screwin around.
None of the root methods work. What i need is the ota download zip. So then i can pull stock recovery and make twrp recovery....

It's possible it could be done with add I think. Or you'd have to reset your phone back to stock pre update and then let the ota do its thing and look for the ota zip in a folder or something.

If you read previous posts then you would know there's no root method right now. Also rooting won't instantly make your phone take better pictures.

For the LG k20 plus we have recovery and root we just got it last night he just needed a tester to verify if it works and I tested it so I can confirm it works just follow the thread and profit

Hi XDA community,
I will receive my new OnePlus Pro 8 tomorrow.
This will be my first OnePlus phone and it will likely be the North American version.
Primarily, I would like to unlock the bootloader and root the phone, additionally also have the Dual-sim functionality enabled.
I don't have a lot of experience with rooting, but can follow steps and instructions
1) Should I start the new phone let it update all the way to oxygen OS 11 and than follow steps to unlock the bootloader and root the phone and than transfer my data? - Will this process be more complicated than doing it with Oxygen OS 10.?
2) Once the phone is rooted, can I transfer data from my old phone through the USB/Phone/data transfer apps so it gets setup automagically ?
3) Does TWRP work with OS 11 ? if not is there an update schedule for it?
4) Does Dual Sim for NA phones work with Oxygen OS 10 or is it enabled only at Oxygen OS 11 ?
Any things else that I should be aware of? (this process or the phone in general as well?)
Thank you all
DV
Peace.

1. I would prefer to unlock the phone first and than boot twrp and flash magisk. After you got root update the system and install magisk to inactiv slot.
2. I don't know.
3. Nope.
4. Should also work with OOS 10.

Is there a forum thread for how I can unlock the bootloader and to perform root, the XDA forum threads while very resourceful are a bit overwhelming as there seem to be multiple methods of achieving root.
I am not planning on installing customROMS as yet, just want the phone to be unlocked and so I can enable the colour filter, installing gcam etc for now.

I have a couple in the guides section..have a look. So long as you follow it correctly you should be fine.
One for the bootloader.
One for updating, rooting and payload dumper.

Do you mind pasting the links here, I have managed to get the bootloader unlocked using fastboot.
(NVM, I think I found your threads oneplus-8-pro/how-to/root-uk-eu-patched-magisk-boot-img-t4175033 & )
My model is IN2025
OS: 10.5.10.IN11AA
I wanted to know,
1) OxyOS updater is prompting that there is an update to Oxygen OS 11.IN11AA
Can I update to OxyOS 11 and still keep the bootloader unlocked ?
"It displays that OEM unlock is detected, system will download the full upgrade package, please backup data...etc."
2) Should I root my phone now and later will I be able to upgrade / flash to Oxygen OS 11 ? -North-American market requires OS 11 for dual sim
Where can I find the appropriate files to get make a 'patch' using payload for this version (10.5.10.IN11AA) ?
Thank you

Yes you can
Yes that's fine
Easiest way is whatever you like .
You can either root now then take the update and then OTA install magisk patched or just boot the magisk patched after and then directly install
Sorry, I still have some more questions..

I updated to OS11.IN11AA to enable Dual Sim first.
I guess I can try rooting now. Sorry I still have a few queries:
1)
In your instructions you suggest extracting 'your own' boot.img using the payload_dumper.
My phone (thanks to the OEM unlock) has downloaded a large 2GB+ zip file on the phone, should I use that payload.bin to extract the boot.img
or
the one on the oneplus website will work as well? - They appear to be the same but would like to know if there is a difference.

Hey,
1.) Yep that's absolutely fine, I tend to use oxygen updater as it's been absolutely flawless up until now and it won't allow you to download a firmware not compatible with your device.
Wherever you choose the numbers you've shown seem good to me, but id I had to choose I'd go with oxygen updater.
2.) Some people have had a lot more luck with the beta channel, so long as you have the install/update buttons then you're ready to patch the boot.img and go ahead and boot it using Fastboot.
Don't worry about N/A that just states that magisk_patched isn't there yet, which is normal.
So at this point, you're welcome to stick with stable but I couldn't recommend it as I've not done this myself, I've only had luck with canary but others have had luck with beta.. I'd recommend one of them channels, changing back to canary may now show the buttons that were missing..
If not then beta.
There are some troubleshooting steps at the end of the guides at the bottom. As well as all the files which I used.
Let me know how you get on

Thanks again for all your help!
So I believe, the channel display when first opened did not show any install / update buttons but the settings showed channel: Canary.
I believe I switched to stable and the buttons showed up (i did not install than), after which I switched channels to canary and than installed.
When I search for the "1469b82a" and magisk it shows this as a Update to Canary channel (3days ago) https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/blob/canary/notes.md
I hope I am on the right track..
-------------------------------
UPDATE: So I think it has worked,
It seems I am rooted now, I have installed Titanium and bunch of other stuff that needs root.
(but I think I may have goofed up and ended up mixing your two solutions)
It was installed in 'b - drive/section'.
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img <(This is different from your step 4, where you do fastboot boot magisk_patched)
(I am hoping this did not goof things up, I misread )
It flashed just on 'b' - drive.
I did not flash in both 'a' and 'b'.
I also did'
"
5. Open magisk manager and click install/update, if you are missing the install/ update buttons, change magisk version to beta in magisk settings.
6. Select Direct install (recommended)
"
When I open Magisk Manager now, I see installed 1469b82a (21101) < same as the latest
I also have the "Uninstall Magisk button" showing which wasn't before. and settings shows me many more options (super user, magisk hide etc.)
2) Also what does Magisk hide do?,

Thanks again for all your help!
So I believe, the channel display when first opened did not show any install / update buttons but the settings showed channel: Canary.
I believe I switched to stable and the buttons showed up (i did not install than), after which I switched channels to canary and than installed.
When I search for the "1469b82a" and magisk it shows this as a Update to Canary channel (3days ago) https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/blob/canary/notes.md
I hope I am on the right track..
-------------------------------
UPDATE: So I think it has worked,
It seems I am rooted now, I have installed Titanium and bunch of other stuff that needs root.
(but I think I may have goofed up and ended up mixing your two solutions)
It was installed in 'b - drive/section'.
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img <(This is different from your step 4, where you do fastboot boot magisk_patched)
(I am hoping this did not goof things up, I misread )
It flashed just on 'b' - drive.
I did not flash in both 'a' and 'b'.
I also did'
"
5. Open magisk manager and click install/update, if you are missing the install/ update buttons, change magisk version to beta in magisk settings.
6. Select Direct install (recommended)
"
When I open Magisk Manager now, I see installed 1469b82a (21101) < same as the latest
I also have the "Uninstall Magisk button" showing which wasn't before. and settings shows me many more options (super user, magisk hide etc.)
2) Also what does Magisk hide do?,

That's ok you just flashed it twice.
Reason for the boot and not flash is due to the fact that boot images can always go wrong,, bad copy or just corruption. But if you're rooted then you're all good
Magisk hide attempts to hide itself from apps that works otherwise detect it, meaning you can go ahead and use Google pay our your banking apps.
In theory anyway, but some apps have other ways of detecting root and thus it won't work.
Up until now I've been ok.
I see..
Ah I see, Thanks again. Google pay complains about root, but my other Bank apps seem fine so far. I'll try my luck with hide magisk.
I suppose next time the phone updates, I will lose root as the active partition will switch ?
The only odd thing that has happened is the I have an extra/duplicate icon for the Android Files App. I don't know how to get rid of it...but it's not a big issue.
Thanks again for your help!

How do I backup persist partition?, Will Titanium backup help or something else ?
I am new to the whole rooting thing.

Intriguingly, I have root, superuser access for apps, but none of my modules are working. Could be I did something wrong, flashed the wrong something the wrong way..., whatever.
Gonna clean up the show and start over.

It could depend on the specific module and compatibility with Android 12. Which modules specifically?
Depending on files the module is overriding, some will work regardless of Android version, others may be very specific to the version or even the phone/oem framework
Ohhh..., thank you. Things that used to work on 11.
Ad Away, Vanced, Replace T-Mo Boot Anim With McLaren Anim; Disable T-Mo Shutdown Anim.
(Ad Away is not a mod, it's a root app that says there's no room for it now.)
I see what you mean--some of these things could have different names internally now.
I'll fiddle around some and report back, and Artimis--thank you for your ongoing help.
Methinks I can be perfectly happy with 12 when I get the most important things working, else I'll just revert to 11.

Issue with Ad Away was corrected by simply enabling "Systemless Hosts" in Magisk.
Issue with Vanced was a matter of my accidentally updating my YouTube and YouTube Music, when prior to that I had been using an older version that Vanced could manage properly. I am looking into the new Revanced.net to see if that will be a viable solution for me.
Haven't looked at the boot and shutdown anims, but that is probably just an animation renamed from what the earlier versions of those modules changed, which is no big deal, but probably correctible, possibly via console command.
Oddly, the bootloader unlock warning doesn't show, but I think that's because the T-Mo 12 ROM was written in such a way as to cover it up--maybe it was overlooked(?)--the phone still seems to take as much time to boot as it would if the warning was showing.
Now that I'm comfortable with the process (and with @Chueppo boot images, and your sparkling assistance), it may just be time for me to a complete cleanup via factory reset, and start with a super-fresh phone, 'cause this sure is one nice phone.
Thanks again.
