Nice thread!
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] flashallthetime:
Hopefully people will stop flashing or sideloading firmware.

Personally I haven't flashed it, I'm decrypted and it could cause me to lose access to my sdcard.

If you're encrypted, you should have no issues.

This wasn't easy to get working
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Nil253259:
I think you meant "flash Magisk to ROOT" and not boot?
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] jatinkhatri:
Yeah ... I think it's typo ...

( I've not tried it yet. .. )
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] cowboysgz:
Actually no. You have to flash root to boot. If you flash twrp after sideloading the 7.1.1 firmware the phone won't boot unless you flash root. I didn't try the verity zip file but it needs root to boot afterwards. We had a few testers and they're phones wouldn't boot if they were decrypted and didn't flash magisk because supersu wouldn't install binaries.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Unbornlegend123:
No mods meaning Moto mods don't work I'm assuming? Can I ask why they wouldn't if this is stock 7.1.1? Well done with the ROM though. Downloading now will flash and report any issues.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rsimas:
I need to be encrypted? And if im not encrypted can i flash without problems?

Moto mods work , I meant no outside mods like arise.

It's stock
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] flashallthetime:

So you where decrypted prior to flashing it or encrypted?
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rsimas:

Does magisks work still? And which arise did you flash?

I need this info so I can put it into my OP
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rsimas:
Ok. I still decrypted, magisk is installed v12 but no root and the arise is ARISE+Deuteronomy+2.94+Modular+AROMA+Installer and i just check to install viper and dolby atmos. Glad i can help ?

Thanks for testing, I assume 7.1.1 is still missing the f2fs fixes, Time to buy another phone, I'm really starting to hate this thing.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Nil253259:
On factory 7.1.1 I flashed magisk and root was working 100%. I didn't need to flash 7.0 modded kernel separately. I assume that's because f2fs fix has already been included on 7.1.1. I was encrypted though if that matters

Notification sound works.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] tronoslycer:
I did that and I was able to go into the system, but when i rebooted the phone, it asked me for another password, a numeric password I never set (I set a pattern password). I didn't know this second password and I had to wipe data partition.

I think someone more knowlegeable on stock rom should answer this. I'm on custom from day 1

If you are giving away or selling the unit to someone who is not familiar with TWRP and custom roms I would go back to stock recovery and firmware for their sakes.

I think you're probably right. Sigh. I like this phone a lot, but the guy who sold it to me never told me he'd unlocked the bootloader and modified it. It's been a bit of a headache. I appreciate the advice.

Ok guys I got some really bad news , my second digitizer has gone belly up on my Moto z play and I'm not fixing it again.

Unfortunately it's time for me to buy a new device. I gotta say the battery was amazing but the Moto z play is far to fragile a device for me, the funny thing is I had it in my pocket and I guess the stress on the digitizer was to much and cracked.

[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] EspElement:
Can you pull the gpt.bin and bootloader.img from any given phone by adb?
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] flashallthetime:
Just download the correct firmware package , flash it using fastboot and cross your fingers that it boots and after accepting an ota also cross your fingers.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Jackie CDP:
Hello, I have a question, will the no notification sounds ever be fixed without having to install ARISE? That's the only thing keeping me from flashing this.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] EspElement:
I was with the group of bricked devices. They found the blankflash from the MZP2 and it got me into Fastboot! Now I need the latest gpt.bin and bootloader.img. The ones from what we have right now is not the latest. I SL the 7.1.1 before we knew it was a soak test. In that zip it upgraded my gpt.bin for sure, not sure about the bootloader. I need to get the same, or updated gpt.bin to flash before I can proceed.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] cowboysgz:
Then just download the April security patch firmware and flash the whole thing and you're good to go.

---------- Post added at 10:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

Why? It only takes flashing one more zip. Arise doesn't do anything else other than enhance your sound
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Jackie CDP:
I know there's nothing difficult or bad about it. I just don't like installing audio mods on my phones. I'll wait for a version without the problem or sideload the 7.1.1 OTA I guess
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] cowboysgz:
You better sideload it then since flash's phone is gone and he might stop supporting our device nor will he update it since there's not much to fix.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] flashallthetime:
I'm not going to fix the sound issue as there's an issue with symlinks or meta data during the flashing process, it's just alot easier for me to flash arise.

As for my broken screen again well I took my POS mzp apart again and ordered new adhesive and I may just buy a new screen and digitizer. Moral of the story is don't cut corners.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] josip-k:

Is there any specific kernel to flash for magisk to be green on safetynet in this rom?
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] flashallthetime:
I believe some folks have gotten safetynet to pass, just read the last few pages and you may find out what you're looking for
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] tausif1590:
AFAIK never do factory reset when you are using a custom rom, you device will never boot until you clean flash again. Use TWRP to wipe instead.

Hello. Great ROM.

Can a system wide night mode feature - like complete black system UI - similar to that of Viper OS dark mode - can that be brought here? It would just be dope if someone can do that!

I tried the swift dark theme. But it's not that good compared to the night/dark mode of Viper OS or even Oxygen OS on OnePlus phones...
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Jackie CDP:

As a first time user I can't attach a picture so I had to type details of my Moto Z Play. It is fully stock, not rooted and is updated to the latest OTA provided in Sweden. It is not locked to any operator either. I did go through this thread but I am still not sure my device is compatible with the stock ROM offered to download. (DOWNLOAD:Moto Ota July 1 st)

So question is, can I use stock ROM you offered to download on the first page of this thread. And also should I use Magisk stable version v13.3 or should I go for beta v13.6 (1360). Better to ask then to be sorry.

I became quite confused after reading about Moto Z Play. If I knew about some of the issues I would surely choose another mobile or would at least avoid latest patch. I still have my old Note2 and at the moment enjoy it more than "Moto will not let you root it" device. Also, my Kernel version is from July 7th which is later date then Android security patch level from 1st of July. Maybe it does not matter but I would not know that. Here are the details.

[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Jimi Mack:
First, welcome to XDA.

Second, have you unlocked your bootloader and flashed a custom recovery like TWRP. Before you get to flash roms, these steps do need to be taken first. And my first piece of advice I always give is, once these two steps are done, make sure you make a backup nandroid you can always fall back on before you start flashing roms.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] zorpan:
Thanks.

I haven't done anything to my phone yet, it is still in its original state save all the OTA updates. I know I have to unlock bootloader but since that is voiding warranty I am waiting with it until I have it all sorted out in my head and have all the software required for the procedure. Please bear with me, this is all pretty new to me, I was used to Odin and Note 2 which looked like child's play compared to Moto.

"flashed a custom recovery" Oh my, what have I misunderstood? I was under impression I have to be rooted already if I am to use TWRP. I also thought there is no software to use with custom recovery for my phone, at least I thought there will not be one until Motorola releases code for software version I have (7.1..1 with security patch from 1st of July.). That is why I thought of using Magisk "method" with adb commands. My plan was to use stock boot image provided in this thread (at least that is what I think Moto Ota July 1 st software offered to download is) and then to proceed until i change it into magisk-patched boot image and finally to flash that image via fastboot.

It does look complex to me and I would surely prefer to reboot to a custom recovery and flash the flashable zip instead of all adb and whatever else but I am not rooted and I have no clue what software I would have to flash anyway.

As for backup I did check on some threads regarding Nandroid backup without root but so far I still haven't figure out how to do it. I know I will have to sort it out before I start flashing images.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Jimi Mack:
Before you do anything you will need to address unlocking the bootloader and that will void the warranty. Google it, Moto has a website that will walk your through it. But be sure you want to go down this avenue because there is no going back to "Locked" once it is unlocked. You will then need to flash TWRP and yes it has to be done via ADB, see the link: https://xdaforums.com/moto-z-play/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-moto-z-play-t3495629

Once that is done you will want to make a nandroid of your Stock firmware before you root to be able to fall back to if you want to. Once you have the backup of your firmware stored on your phone, you can begin to flash custom roms. Each rom is different, some come rooted some not. If not flash Magisk from this link via TWRP. https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

Good luck, make sure to stop and read everything twice and understand what you are about to do before you do it.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] zorpan:
All I want is rooted device. I don't want to experiment with different software. As it is now I can not automate Wi-Fi hotspot nor use this phone in the car with Android Auto. If I have root access then I can investigate issues and probably solve it. Systemless root is all I need. I did not have a clue that root became such large issue in Android. I was happily using SuperSU in Note 2.

I am aware of the link: https://xdaforums.com/moto-z-play/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-moto-z-play-t3495629 but was under impression I can not use that method due to my phone being 7.1.1 wiht July security patch. (I think it was due to changed bootloader.) But then I should probably move to that thread and ask my silly questions there.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Jimi Mack:
To just root you will also need to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] zorpan:
I understand that but when I for example check link: https://twrp.me/Devices/Motorola/ I don't find custom recovery for Moto Z Play. I checked adb reboot bootloader command and it does boot phone into bootloader mode but I don't know what to flash with fastboot flash recovery command. Once I pass this step I will go for Magisk in order to have systemless root, but I first have to find correct TWRP image file for Moto Z Play.

Link: https://xdaforums.com/moto-z-play/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-moto-z-play-t3495629 offers TWRP image file for download but I am not sure it is right one for me since I am on July 1st security patch and TWRP image file provided is older.

Pray tell me would it be possible to test the new recovery image file from for example link: https://xdaforums.com/moto-z-play/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-moto-z-play-t3495629 without removing old (stock in my case) recovery by replacing fastboot flash recovery twrp*.img with fastboot boot twrp*.img? Would I be able to actually boot into OS and later to return to the old recovery if needed and hence get all the functionality of the phone back to original state. I understand I can't relock bootloader and warranty will be void. I also understand I can not use Magisk unless I actually flash the new recovery. But it would be great if I can check that new recovery did not break anything in the phone before I commit to flashing it.

Should I just download zip and install it via ADB from recovery ?

[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] flashallthetime:
No you need to flash it through TWRP recovery, so you need to have a unlocked bootloader, flash TWRP through fastboot and download the ROM and flash it.
