Warning: I am not responsible if your device bricks:fingers-crossed:

Hi all,

Please follow method to root the device

1) Unlock the bootloader ( fastboot oem unlock)

2) download official firmware

3) unpack system.img with any ext unpacker tool

4) paste root files in desired folders

5) repack system.img

6) boot in fastboot mode

7) then fastboot flash system system.img

Voila! reboot and device is rooted...
[Moto E3 Questions & Answers] arunorvic:
Cool, Which Firmware version did you tried it on ? I guess you have Moto E3 Power - XT1706 Model.

Also will the process formats the phone to factory defaults and erase data ?

Please explain "Paste Root Files in Desired Folders" Which Root files you used and can you specific folders to put them in.
[Moto E3 Questions & Answers] dr.faramroze:
Many thanks for the link. It is very essential that we have stock firmware handy when we have a new chipset like MT6735. Now, there are some bugs in the phone app that controls calls and SMS and APNs. One serious bug is that JIO VOLTE immediately stops if we insert Airtel 4G SIM and again insert JIO SIM. I have however found a temporary solution for this. In command window, type adb shell, then type 'pm clear com.android.providers.telephony', reboot and it is working again. After root, we can change the phone app with that of Moto G4 play phone app.

[Moto E3 Questions & Answers] bopvnn:
This is first time i see one of all android devices allow "unlocked bootloader" in Settings/Developer oprions (i mean in Developer options, turn on 'OEM unlocking' line, line 5 from the top). Can easy to enter bootloader by hold Power + Up Volume (of course after Power off)

But it just unlocked bootloader and i wonder to root full system Moto E3 power with 'SuperSU' not 'Kinguser' or 'KingU'. Anybody have solution root by handly not by sofware on click root, please share step by step pls! Thank so much. MOTO E3 Power cheap and powerful ^^!:o
[Moto E3 Questions & Answers] dr.faramroze:
Rooted now

Ok. I have finally rooted this phone. First we need to do a simpIe bootloader unlock from fastboot. I have compiled a stable version of TWRP 3.0.2 from raw sources. Just flash the recovery by fastboot command. "fastboot flash recovery TWRP_3.0.2.2-moto_E3_power.img" and boot into recovery from fastboot. Flash SuperSU-v2.78-201609011115.zip because it will automatically patch the boot img.

My Google Drive link for TWRP recovery:- https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BylQ6RZ2mIP_cElxMzFoRVEyRDg/view?usp=sharing

4shared link:- http://www.4shared.com/file/EREZ0KcBba/TWRP_3022-moto_E3_power.html

Mediafire link:- http://www.mediafire.com/file/vovsjf25ezkkmau/TWRP_3.0.2.2-moto_E3_power.img

SuperSu:- http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133

We can make CM 12.1/CM 13/CM 14 because they are fully working on mt6735 devices. They are very stable. I am ready with the kitchen if I get some help.

dm-verity system protection encrytion

I am specifically not merging these posts so that users do not get confused for rooting and system modification. It is found that like the earlier Moto E 2nd gen, the system/boot is dm-verity enabled or write protected. We cannot modify any system file or all apps start force-close. We can flash this Download dm-verity and force encryption disabler from twrp recovery. The link is here. http://xdaforums.com/yureka/help/how-to-root-flash-twrp-install-busybox-t3447517. Before proceeding with any system mods like deleting any system app, please backup system in twrp.

[Moto E3 Questions & Answers] AkshayMarwah:
Sir dm.faramoze

Can you plz make a new original foolproof thread for root guide. Plz as soon as possible
[Moto E3 Questions & Answers] dr.faramroze:
The tutorial is perfect with every functions of TWRP recovery working absolutely fine. Root requires an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER. After rooting, the device has sustained minor mods like adding a few more lines in build.prop even with the DM-Verity (system-write protection).

Custom ROM is taking time because of lack of kernel sources. There is a flood of mt6735 cross-port roms on the internet but there are driver conflicts with the port roms so I have put it on hold.

The other reason for making a custom rom is that the Stock firmware of Lenovo Moto E3 power SDK has CellLocation(API1), NeighboringCellinfo(API3) and Cellinfo(API17) which does not proper VOLTE-LTE information.

build.prop tweaks to improve radio-ril-telephony-network performance attached in the picture. Done using root explorer.

[Moto E3 Questions & Answers] DJBhardwaj:
You need to make sure that your device is booted into bootloader and has fastboot mode enabled.

1) Power off your device completely.

2) Press and hold the Volume up and Power button altogether until you feel the device vibrate.

3) As soon as it vibrates, release the power key and hold onto the Volume up key.

You shall then see the bootloader mode. Enable fastboot mode from there and then use the fastboot commands.

---------- Post added at 10:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

adb devices wouldn't work in fastboot mode. Instead, you should use "fastboot devices". Kindly don't confuse the two.

[Moto E3 Questions & Answers] k-ninja:
E3 and E3 power are not the same device

Is your device a plain Moto E3 (not E3 power)? I think you're probably hitting the Lenovo Test Mode menu (blue with yellow characters on it), that is what happened to me when I tried power+vol down. Unfortunately, despite this being the Moto E3 forum, most of th einfo here (and pretty much everywhere) is for the E3 power, which is obviously different enough that they key combos are different.

To get to recovery, try power+vol up instead, this will give you a small text menu to select recovery, fastboot or normal boot mode. You can boot recovery from there, but if you have a plain E3 like I do, you'll probably find that you still only have the stock recovery installed. If you get the broken android with "No Command" message, press power+vol up a few more times to get to the stock recovery (looks a bit like old CWM but it will have the device firmware build number at the top).

I don't have a solution for getting TWRP to boot yet, I can't even get it to boot using "fastboot boot twrp.img".
