If you're stuck at the 'bootloader is unlocked' screen, you just need a working SuperSU flash from the chinese TWRP. For some reason, rooting fixes that problem.

I've got a more detailed guide up for rooting using that method.

[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] pillopoulos:
Hi. I re-installed from nandroid backup my original rom but it doesn't recognize my pin lock. Why did that happen and how to fix it?
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] drylightning:
Can the stock firmware linked below be flashed via TWRP? Thanks.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] amit000in:
No.. it can't be flashed via TWRP

U can use RSD tool for flashing it. Or use fastboot commands.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] drylightning:
If I were to flash back to stock using adb, then I'd need to reflash TWRP, correct? (SORRY...)
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] amit000in:
Yes correct
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] drylightning:
Thanks! Two quick questions...

If I do reinstall stock, which version of TWRP works? And with which version of SuperSU? I screwed that up when I rooted the first time and had a lovely bootloop. Flashing CM14 got me up and running.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] amit000in:
Install this TWRP by Alberto97

Or this one original in Chinese & eng posted on 1st page

https://www.dropbox.com/s/t8slkh5ct....0.2-20161010-MOTO_Z_PLAY-CN-wzsx150.img?dl=0

But there is no need to flash SuperSU.

For root

Use twrp inbuilt su install for root

Go to advanced in TWRP there u can see install su button

Thats it ..ur device ll be rooted... successfully
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] drylightning:
Thank you! Still waiting to see the future potential of CM on this phone but may flash back to stock.

​

I'm not getting the download link as mentioned in the post .. all r Chinese I translated but no download option, pls help me
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] drylightning:
It helped me to Google some screenshots of TWRP to figure out which buttons to use as I don't have them memorized. Then you can change the language first thing. The root option is in advanced and called supersu, I believe. I had trouble finding it at first too. Good luck!

I'm back on stock, rooted, but now when I restart it always takes me to the bootloader. Anyone else? It's not a big deal but just curious...and it would be nice to fix that.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] joesee:
I'm no stranger to TWRP but under Advanced, I have 7 options:

Copy Log Fix Contents

Partition SD Card File Manager

Terminal Reload Theme

ADB Sideload

I'm not sure where this built in supersu install in TWRP is ?? In other versions in the past if you reboot after flashing something but TWRP doesn't see root, it will ask you before you reboot if you want to install it. This didn't happen here.

---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

I don't have a button under Advanced on TWRP that says "Install super su". Where do I find this?
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] lichking21st:
For anyone looking for this, it's using the chinese TWRP only. The advanced menu should look like this crappy photo I took: http://imgur.com/a/SjZLa.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] gerrard00:
how did you reflash all the firmware? can you provide a link to the steps you used? I'm on Software Channel : attmx, Build Number: MPN24.104-44, Baseband: M8953_10208.08.0447R ADDISON_ROW_CUST

something happened while I tried to root but after I tried to flash the modified boot image I lost my carrier data, and my SD card is useless... can you help?
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] amit000in:
U need to flash stock firmware again

Dont use modified boot img use twrp in-built su install instead..for rooting

Easiest method to flash is use rsd lite tool
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] gerrard00:
I want to restore to stock, does RSDlite work for that?
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] amit000in:
Ya definitely.... I had flashed twice mine ... successfully
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] gerrard00:
which firmware are you on? which steps did you follow? I'm a bit lost
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] amit000in:
I m on MPN24.104.44 (dual sim indian XT1635-02)

i used this firmware form link

https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/addison/official/RETASIA/ ( 2nd one)

from here u can download RSD Lite 6.2.4 tool (for flashing firmware)

http://rsdlite.en.lo4d.com

boot int bootloader

1)extract firmware to a folder

2)run rsd tool

3)browse filename select file named "FlashFile.xml" from extracted firmware folder & click Start button

4)wait till flashing complete

thats it.... after successfully flashed ur device ll reboot automatically

NOTE: edit Flashfile.xml & remove this line "<step operation="erase" partition="userdata"/> " if u dont want to wipe ur personal data or internal memory
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] gerrard00:
Ok, I think I get it... just one more question, does it make any difference if I flash my LATAM software , does it make a difference which software you flash if you have a one SIM card version? I'm asking this because I've seen people who post they have a 2 SIM card version with the same model I have (XT1635-02) , sorry to ask lots of questions!
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] gerrard00:
Indeed! I just followed your instructions and everything went just fine! now I have my carrier data again! #thankyou
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] amit000in:
No... if u have single sim ver .. u have to flash single sim ver firmware....& If dual than flash dual sim ver firmware..
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] PixoNova:
Having some issues with rooting this phone. I got the bootloader successfully unlocked, and TWRP installed. TWRP mounts /system properly every time I load it.

I've tried everything I can think of to get root working using the install su button. I ran the echo commands, hit the install su button and it gets stuck on the "placing files" step. This requires me to hard restart, and then boot back into TWRP to wipe the phone, otherwise it won't boot. I tried just tapping install SU without the echo commands, but then it just gets stuck on the "disabling OTA" step, which requires me to hard restart and then factory setup again lol.

I'm mystified at this point. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] turkobr:
Try the Chinese twrp
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] mhp1995:
Can you please tell what are the other .zip files for? You told to download the 2nd one for dual sim Indian variant. What are the 1st and 3rd one for? Are they for single sim or dual sim? Are the other ones the latest builds for dual sim indian version or they are completely different firmware and not meant for Indian dual sim variant? Thanks :o
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] PixoNova:
Derp. I should have mentioned I am using the Chinese one, haven't tried the other one.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] turkobr:
That's weird. All I had to do was install TWRP and agree to install su. No need for any other steps. When you wiped the phone did you flash the full stock firmware or just restored a backup?
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] PixoNova:
Neither. I just hit the wipe button in TWRP, and it restored back to factory fine both times. Maybe I should try reflashing TWRP through fastboot?
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] turkobr:
Maybe something messed up the first time. You could download the stock firmware and flash the whole thing. Then start from the beginning. But be careful and reflash the right one for your region, some people had problems losing their IMEI.

I flashed the stock ROM a few times with no problem.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] flashallthetime:
Flash the boot.img and do a factory reset
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] amit000in:
1st is for apac (Australia)

& 3 rd is mixed apac & asia ( Australia india) both are for dual sim
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] marsisabar:
I'm having the exact same problem as you. Just can't get root flashed. Use the Chinese TWRP and tried the echo commands.

Am using Canadian model of Play Z.

If you figure it out let me know.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] flashallthetime:
You may want to try a earlier firmware package. I had no issues with the earlier firmware package from Rogers , it's posted in the ROM threads. FYI only flash the sparsechunks,boot,recovery and OEM.img's
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] marsisabar:
I actually flashed the 6.0.1 Rogers ROM before trying it a second time. I'll try it again with the earlier Rogers ROM and update this thread.

Thanks

[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] mackers234:
Should I wait for the Nougat update before unlocking the bootloader and rooting? And if so, will the phone be as easy to root as now? Thanks for your help!
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] flashallthetime:
Unlock your bootloader now. Root now.

Things will change when nougat arrives , we'll probably have issues getting root access with Nougat.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] dandrumheller:
Can you elaborate on what issues you are anticipating with nougat root? I'm not very experienced with Moto Android devices (Moto E 2015 and this MZP) and both were the easiest devices I've had to root (I.e. unlock boot loader, flash custom recovery, use TWRP root and done) though I haven't actually rooted the MZP yet. Software version didn't seem to play a factor on the Moto E...
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] flashallthetime:
There's very little development for this device and believe there won't be.

Rooting is all trial and error and without a reliable TWRP recovery , testing becomes harder.

Hope I'm wrong
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] dandrumheller:
Why will the current TWRP not work?
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] flashallthetime:
The Chinese TWRP works but it's still not worth trusting.

I've had issues with it.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] dandrumheller:
I agree that it's not fully trustworthy - I'm somewhat uncomfortable about it, and that's part of the reason I haven't rooted yet. But is there any reason to believe the method it uses to gain root will not work on Nougat when it's released?
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] flashallthetime:
We'll just have to wait for nougat to arrive.

Hold off on accepting the nougat update , that's what I'll do.

I already removed accepted any OTAs on my system.

What happens if you try to root the MZP systemless using a current SuperSU beta and do that echo SYSTEMLESS=true before flashing? Did anyone test?

I'd like to continue using my credit card online when switching to Moto Z Play, but the app used to grant payments refuses to work if it recognizes your device as rooted. On my current Moto X Play suhide works fine and the app runs. But systemless root is a precondition for suhide.

Isn't Magisk working fine? It always runs systemless, doesn't it?
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] tomparr:
Haven't tried Magisk yet. But I have to reset the system partition to install the November patch update soon, so I'll give magisk a try and report back.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] SAGExSDX:
In some other thread someone said that Magisk won't work on the MZP because it requires a 64bit OS and for whatever reason they put a 32bit OS in the MZP
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] tag68:
Then why do you copy that nonsense without search in the Magisk thread?

Look here:

Please do not write "in another thread it was said" without link to the posting where the statement is you refer to. Thank you very much!
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] tag68:
Does a logfile of that exist to ask in the SuperSU support thread what is wrong? Usually the boot.img shall be linked there with the bugreport, and there could be help on the way.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukypuie:
I've bought my N5x 8 months ago, and I've never achieved more than 3h+ screen time.

After upgrading to nougat, nothing changed. So that's why I'm starting a new thread

At this point, I dont really know what to do. I've tried disabling Ok google, location, nothing changed.

Here are some tests

Some tests from today. I've charged the phone yesterday, left it, and then used it today for 1h straight

I was thinking to buy a new battery, or maybe I've read that the G2 battery which has more mAh fits too.

In android there aren't tests which indicate the real capacity of batteries like on Windows/Linux PCs

I was always on 3G btw.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X3NOM:
I don't know much I would say it's the data connection taking up too much, or maybe you don't get good reception and the phone keeps trying to get it, judging that by the red lines I see I the bar graph thingy.

[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Syberyon:
So, bought a mineral black Xperia XZ, and I'm mostly pleased.

There is however a very annoying "bug".

Video is literally unwatchable. I think it's something to do with the HW decoder (video stutters madly when launched from the Album app), because when I first discovered the bug, I installed MX Player pro.

Nothing changed. Stutters and freezes only when played via HW decoder, but if I switch to SW/HW+, the stutter is gone.

Anyone else experienced this?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Syberyon:
Bump
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Wishmaster89:
Are you talking about the videos made by the phone? If not, maybe the video that you're trying to watch is too much for the phone?

What are the video parameters of the clip?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Syberyon:
.mkv file, 720p res, 23.97fps, aac 48kHz

Videos from my phone (those taken with the camera too) work fine.

Never had trouble with playing those videos on my Z1c, Z3c, Z5c and LG G4, so it's kind of weird.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Wishmaster89:
Did you put them on the internal memory or the SD card?

Maybe SD card is the culprit.

Wysłane z mojego F8331 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Syberyon:
There are some that are on the SD card (Samsung 32GB, UHS1), but it happens to those that I download to the internal storage too.

Happens only when using HW decoder (I believe Sony's default video player uses HW by default) in Album/Video and MX Player.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Wishmaster89:
Try using VLC media player, in built video player is very good but unfortunately lacks AC3 and DTS support.

If your video won't play smoothly with VLC I don't know what could be wrong with the file or with your device.

[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Dreadish:
You know what, ure one of the rare ones that experienced same problem as me. But in my case, switching too hw+ or sw didnt help at all.

All possible video decoding opttions didnt help. I still had same stutter. I sended the device too servis demanding replacement do to the factory error. (if it was software issue , people would complaining about it, and they dont)
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Syberyon:
While I'm surprised that playing the video in HW+/SW mode didn't help you, the only thing I know is that it most definitelly isn't a software issue, since I flashed different versions of the original firmware (full reset) yet the issue continued to persist each time.

Even though I managed to bypass the problem with said steps, it still bugs the crap out of me to the point of constant thinking about replacing the device with a different OEM's flagship.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Atrax2010:
Just because you tried different software versions doesn't mean it's not a SW issue. If the issue is in the kernel or driver and Sony isn't aware of the issue, they'l never fix it even when they update the software (they migh by accident if they change something for other purposes and it fixes this issue as well). Not to mention different region softwares, they share the same kernels.

From what we "researched" in the other thread Dreadish started here https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz/help/platinum-xz-rev-2-0-video-playback-t3576686 , to me it looks like a SW issue, because if it was a HW issue, I doubt the phone would be perfectly fine with playing 4k and 1080p@60FPS. Specially because switching from sw to hw decoding makes no difference, it's like the chip is being held back at the kernel level, not allowing it to throttle up and process certain videos as it should.

If it was a hw issue, wouldn't switching to sw decoding help?

Just thinking out loud here, I'm not sure.

As I said in the other thread, if this was an issue with all of the videos, it would be a different story, but the only video I noticed that in was the one Dreadish uploaded.

Btw, how does Youtube playback behave? Do videos stutter there as well? Is there any difference in switching resolutions in YT? Like for example 480p vs 1080p and such? You guys should test that.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Syberyon:
Thanks for the reply, and your insight into this problem.

I'm not really 'that' tech savy when it comes to kernels and stuff, so your input is largely appreciated.

And yes, tried YT at pretty much every resolution, no issues.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Dreadish:
Im leaning towards to the Kernel issue and software. Its 50% chance sony will repair this in next big update. 50% beacose after stock marshmallow, next three or so updates (incl Nougat versions) didnt solved that potencial throttling or any other issue that XZ has when playing encoded videos.

Xperia X (f5121) had the perfect Kernel imo-they just did something in XZ Kernel then , that fuk...ed things up in video rendering. I own X phone before Xz, and EVERYTHING was working flawlesly. Sound, video, performance. im kinda sorry that i ever let go that phone. SD650 handled pretty much everything.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Syberyon:
Honestly, I'm past caring about the issue. After having 5 Sony flagships, I'll be ditching this one in favor of the S7 (mostly due to it's size).
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Atrax2010:
I'm really curious how the XZs will behave, I have a hunch it'll be the same thing.

If I get the chance, I'll test it.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Dreadish:
I have the same hunch .... :) Ill do the same if i have chance too get it. also ill test XZ with Nougat 7.1.2 when its comes out.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Dreadish:
I just found out, that XZs isnt gonna be available in our Market. So i guess thats that lol. Im considering if its gonna be a miracle and Sony DOES repair this in 7.11/7.12 Nougat , im maybe gonna buy the handset again :D . Cause u gotta be honest, XZ is a beast when it comes too grafic performance, especialy Benchmarks in GFX are on top , even against newest flagships. Wich reminds me, how mad i still am, beacose of this encoded videos bug. Damn you Sony
