Hello Guy´s!
Im a happy customer of Motorla. My Moto G6 Plus its a perfect smartphone for daily use! After 2 Years of abstinence from the custom rom scene i will try to install a Pie custom rom. Now i see that this smartphone have less support from developer side! Since a few days a TWRP is official for the G6 Plus but its only to boot not to install/flash! The reason is that there is no recovery partition. Im really disapointed now! I read so much how to´s and brick my phone several times.
Have you any idea why the G6 Plus dont have support from the developers? Or have any suggestion where i can found a working Pie custom rom for my phone?
Many greets from Germany!

Pie is working. Just not released to public. Check out the telegram dev chat. Still needs some spit and polish. For now you can flash Los15.1 then flash an oreo GSI in the Treble Development forum. Oh and official twrp is broken period. Use twrp in Los15. 1 thread. Many devices lack recovery partion these days. It goes to boot instead.

Hello Xplorer4x4!
This morning i read a bit in this telegram dev chat. Its a problem to find a summary. I tried to flash los15.1 from the thread but i brick my phone with that patched boot image that is suggested. Okay i made a mistake before and flash the twrp to the boot partition!

Patched boot img? No idea what your talking about other then the old root method. Short and sweet, you should probably flash stock firmware from here. Next boot unofficial twrp, format (not wipe) data, install los15(or 16), format data and boot to Los. You can't skip Los set up. Boot twrp again. You have 2 options.
1. Flash a gsi and format data again.
2. Flash Gapps and magisk. Format data.
Boot and profit. For now Los 16 with a gsi is bit buggy. Los16 is pretty stable though. Los 15.1(with or without gsi) is more stable but lacks Bluetooth calling.

Many thanks for youre support! I will try it again. The G6 Plus its a A/B Device. Can i use LOS16 then without GSI?
Greets Martin
Yes Los 15 and 16 are specific to our device as custom roms always have been. They make our vendor partion fully compatible to Google standards unlike stock moto and that makes them play nicer with a gsi. With GSI make sure it's arm64 and A/B like you said. Gsi is a new format started in Oreo so devs still need time to better utilize the format.

Hello again!
Yesterday i try to find a LOS 16 for our device. I couldn't find anyone. Could you send me a link for one? Why we do not have a own forum for the g6 plus? Have you any information about that?
And please give me the Telegram group for the g6 plus. Yesterday I installed the stock again and lost this information. :laugh:
Best regards

Apologies for cryptic title. My Mi A1 has multiple issues and a patchy update history. I don't know how to narrow this down to a single, simple question. Hope someone can help to make sense of this.
History: Bought new with stock Android One, Oreo. Few months later updated to Android One, Pie (official update). This caused big problems with wifi (connections constantly dropped and VERY slow downloads). Thought about reverting to Oreo, but decided to change to Lineage (which at the time was Oreo). So I downgraded from Android One Pie to Lineage 15 (Oreo). Generally worked OK, but with 3 big problems:
1. No sound during phone calls (I can't hear them, they can't hear me). Found a workaround involving editing the build.prop file (sorry, can't post link), but fix is temporary and needs regular re-boots.
2. Fingerprint sensor not working (no options to set fingerprint).
3. Camera app lost functionality related to dual lens.
I subsequently updated from LOS 15 (Oreo) to LOS 16 (Pie). Issues still there.
I wonder if I have some missing/incompatible vendor firmware components, but I don't really understand how this works. If I download and install, say, a LOS rom, does it contain EVERYTHING my phone needs to work, or do I need to already have some proprietary bits somewhere on the phone?
Is my best bet to start afresh (clean slate) and if so what would you recommend? Any help/insight greatly appreciated!
Hey pal, the Android Pie Firmware has some kind of anti-roll back protection, so when you install a non-pie ROM such as LOS 15 using Pie Firmware you'll have that problems like no-fingerprint, no incall audio, etc. If you install an Oreo Firmware with an Oreo ROM, you'll have fingerprint but no IMEI/Signal (and other problems).
You have 2 options:
1) Update your firmware to the latest Pie version and install a ROM like Pixel Experience or HavocOS (both Pie) and you're set, IMEI, Signal, Audio and Fingerprints will be working OK.
2) Install the latest Pie compilation using MiFlash and leave it stock.
Greetings.
Thanks for prompt reply! Can you spell something out for me please?
Regarding 1) I have already updated to LOS 16, which is Pie. Is that what you meant by "update your firmware to the latest pie"? Or do you mean a stock firmware? If the latter, then I could find a MIUI rom (from en.miui.com) but not Android One.
Regarding 2) Again, by "latest Pie compilation" do you mean the stock rom, like the MIUI mentioned above?
Thanks
Hi,
I'm looking to root G7:
Model - XT1962-6
Software - retin
Build - QPUS30.52-16-2-7-7
I simply want to get LineageOS with TWRP and Root. I have searched but have not found anything related to my model. I don't want to brick the device so if anyone can assist me by directing to the correct method, it will be a great help!
Thanks in advance
Hi dcybergeek,
Welcome. I have the exact same than that you do. I started here looking to do a twrp/magisk root like I did back with my Motp G5 Plus...was np prob find everyone did it. NOT SO for our plain G7. Being a novice, I gave up.
Now I drop to look and ask (beg) to see if anyone knows of magisk root...with or without using twrp if need be. The silence has been deafening...no yes or no or maybe...after nearly begging.
No pne could be bothered to give a simple reply...over n over as can be seen all over! And I thought was THE PLACE on to net for help, but no.
Luckily YES...Lineage 17.1 does work on our phone!! I'm about to just give up on on findi ANY FORM of a Magisk root, I guess.
Simply go hrre:

Hi Zaxx32 , thanks for putting this up for me.
True that regarding the pixel 4a. I am thinking of moving on to that or even if I could get a better deal on the 3a.
I am still thinking to try out these guides. Worse scenario, dead phone and a chance to buy a new one
Update for someone else if looking for help/advice:
The LineageOS 17.1 nightlies works well. Managed to install Lineage OS 17.1 from XDA with TWRP. Next up will try Magisk and share the progress
I wish u the best of luck...unfortunately, you're gonna need it...esp if u have questions. When I asked just the BASIC question 'if river could successfully be magisk rooted via twrp now that a new version of twrp for river had been released?'...the silence was...still, deafening. Either there are still issues or it now works but those who know how have taken an oath os secrecy OR they just can't be bothered to help those of us stil 'learning android'...I dunno which! My point being...if it doesn't work...JUST SAY SO! lol

Thanks, could be the model is getting old. Hence the support is dying? But yea myself too didn't expect that from XDA.

Yes, that adds as a contributing factor. But I think it's still well-supported (at least for now).
Anyways, back to your original question. The first thing you need is to unlock the bootloader.
But before that:
1) Take a backup as everything will be erased during bootloader unlock.
2) Download and set up Android SDK platform-tools on your computer.
Omg...DJBhardwaj...do you know how to root the G7 via twrp + Magisk??

I have unlocked, twrp with magisk on Lineage already.
But tbh it cannot be used as a daily driver

That's what I was thinking...and is why I got my unlock but just can't pull the trigger cuz I'm not 100% confident I have the order correct. Been searching even harder since the latest twrp releases but no two guides are the same!! ...and I can't risk bricking my phone. Is there anyway I could convince you to show me the correct order/steps? I'd be happy to compensate you for your time...

IMO, always be ready for a brick when dealing with such things for the first time. It's not like it's bound to happen, but it could. Especially with all the confusion because of all the different tutorials out there.
Rooting/TWRP/ROMs only deal with non-critical partitions, so even if it gets brick, you can easily recover.
LOL no, please. No need to compensate for anything. It's a public forum, and we all are here voluntarily.
Just hit me up on PM, Telegram, or Discord.
Gotcha. I only recently lost my 'root-cherry' to my G5+ which was a great first root but I didn't do my homework re: the' seamless' update system that google said would be a requirement moving forward..(then back-tracked on it in short order..). So my single slot learning experience was pretty straight forward...but reading all the posts on the G7 left my head spinning. I'll hit you tomorrow via PM if that's ok cuz I have to use the on-screen keyboard as I lack the dexterity to type/use a normal kb...1 clk per character is too damn slow for real-time chat...lmao Ttys...and thank you for sharing your brain-power! Gonna do my backups and transfer everything to the pc tonight. Thx again...

Sure. I will try and help as much as possible. It was confusing at first to me as well, but I managed to wrap my head around with enough reading (thanks to some awesome members of the community).
No doubt...I was 'mentored' thru my first root by Wolfcity. The kicker was I'd never used a smart phone til about 8 months b4. Always been a Windows Desktop PC guy n feature phone (burner) user. Leaned a lot...quickly..lol
Ttys...need some rest atm.

Have you tried shifting to a custom kernel? Are all users of LOS 17.1 facing sudden hangs?
As for K-9, I believe it's more related to syncing issues. It could be that the K-9 app is not able to run background sync.
Zaxx32 as stated above by both me and DJBhardwaj the very best rather than PM, offsite links would be to go through any XDA related thread.
I understand you are looking for root on stock and not lineage and or any other roms.
If it is to regain privacy I still recom you simply go lineage and or other rom.
And if you still want to root on stock, then there is a high chance it won't work based on the -6 model you own. The best I would suggest is disable unwanted apps if unable to delete. Keep google to the bare minimum (do not sync them all). Use unrooted adblockers, set permissions accordingly and set custom dns under network settings.

I cannot speak for them all, but yes I too suspect kernal issue as the lineage is supported for my -6 model but I suppose not to a full 100%. Other than this, I am not facing any hard errors just sometimes random freezes for 2-3 seconds but to me it is bearable.
Can I relock bootloader after installing lineage os 18.1 with TWRP? After reading through other forums it is said that it could brick your phone.
If you need more info please comment
Lg v20 H918
Lineage OS is not designed to have a locked bootloader unlocked. It would need manufacturer support which they are not giving.
I'm still new to the modding community so I'm sorry if I don't catch along but your basically saying, Lineage OS needs to run on a unlocked bootloader?
i think yes you can, just use lg up and flash a stock kdz
