Root Moto E4 (XT1768)

Here's what worked for me (I have the snapdragon version of this phone):

Follow the following at your own risk!

If you're an expert with rooting, the twrp build that works for this phone is at https://xdaforums.com/g5/development/unofficial-twrp-3-1-0-0-moto-g5-t3574450. Otherwise, details are below.

I'm assuming whoever is reading this has some rooting familiarity.

The short version is:

1. Unlock the boot loader

2. Boot twrp

3. Flash su and no-verify zip

4. Reboot to root'd phone.

0. Prepare

Get the following:

i. Motorola usb drivers: your pc won't talk properly with the device without these. google around for these.

ii. adb and fastboot: used to unlock the bootloader and boot twrp https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html

iii. su zip: I used phh's https://superuser.phh.me/superuser-r259.zip you can probably get chainfire's or whatever else working

iv. no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1 zip: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995297893

v. twrp: this build seems to work for the E4 https://xdaforums.com/g5/development/unofficial-twrp-3-1-0-0-moto-g5-t3574450

vi: (optional) stock roms: in case you need to go back https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=195327 applying these with RSD lite (if RSD can *actually* detect your phone) or manually (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njXQYn53SPc) should work.

0.1 Prepare the phone:

Get developer options on android and turn on "OEM unlocking" and "USB debugging".

Test that your pc can see the phone by running:

adb devices

0.2 Dump your zips onto the phone:

For this, I dumped the superuser-r259.zip and no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1 zip onto an sd card (formatted as external).

I didn't try this without an sd card.

0.3 (optional) install the superuser apk

Install the apk before flashing to get root immediately after booting back from twrp.

1. Unlock the boot loader

The post here details how to unlock the motorola boot loader. Keep in mind it will probably void any warranty on the phone. This process involves signing up for a motorola account to get the unlock code.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72878183&postcount=2

2. Boot twrp

Read the warnings in https://xdaforums.com/g5/development/unofficial-twrp-3-1-0-0-moto-g5-t3574450

Because we'll be flashing stuff here, the phone may refuse to boot afterwards since a part of it changed without its knowledge. That's why the no-verify zip is necessary, to bypass this check on boot.

Put your phone in fastboot and run:

fastboot boot twrp-3.1.0-0-cedric.img

3. Flash su and no-verify zip

In twrp, hit cancel on the decryption screen and start twrp in read.

Go to install, switch to sd card, find the the zip location and flash su then no-verify.

4. Reboot

That should be it. When you reboot back to android, install the superuser apk if you haven't already and feel free to use your root.

Now my phone isn't booting, says it can't load the kernel, I flashed the no verify thing but that isn't helping

And now after turning it on and off many times it's working!

I've successfully gotten my Moto e4 rooted. Proof:
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] andMego:
We know it's doable, we aren't looking for proof, we are looking for how to do it ourselves
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] L551:
First, I unlocked the bootloader through motorola's tool. Second, as there is no official TWRP for the e4, I used the Moto G5's TWRP img to BOOT from. (Flashing will not work, boot from it using fastboot) https://xdaforums.com/g5/development/unofficial-twrp-3-1-0-0-moto-g5-t3574450

After in TWRP, I made a backup of stock everything. You'll need it if something goes wrong during the entire process.

After making sure that I was backed up, I then flashed Magisk 13.1. After that successfully flashed, I then flashed this file: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995297893 . After rebooting (This may take a while), everything looked much the same, and it may look the same for you as well.

In my own case, the Magisk ZIP that I flashed did not install the Magisk Manager. Install that via the APK available in the Magisk 13.1 thread. After I did all that, I had successful root.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] andMego:
I did all that but the magisk zip used to say it didn't Support my boot image and now it's just giving error 255
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] andMego:
Hmm, I tried again and it gave an error that it couldn't mount the magisk image, here's some logs
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] L551:
Magisk won't install if your boot image is anything other than stock. So if you've attempted other methods, you'll need to restore the boot to stock.

Hello,

I bought a 4 gb mini sd card for my HTC wizard which unfortunatly broke so I bought an xda exec however the mini sd card (in an adapter) won't write but it will read. In card reader Windows XP won't write either however Linux will. I have tried many ways to fix it including: Turning from SDHC drivers to SD drivers, Updating my rom and Partioning it to 4 1gb partitions.

Please help me fix the writing problem,

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
I just got my brand new S8+ USA Unlocked version today. Been playing with it, getting it set up, and was taking some pictures outside while sitting (parked) in my vehicle.

It's very bright and sunny here in Tulsa today, but I'm parked under an overpass, so I'm in shade. I was not intentionally talking pictures of my legs, but was looking down as I was looking at settings, and I noted the image looked very foggy. Actually I received the dirty lens notification, but I had just wiped the lense off with microfiber. I confirmed it was clean, but the image was still foggy.

I took my case off just in case and no change. That when I noticed it. A semi circle of light around the edge of the picture. Identical to the lens flare WIDELY reported in the Pixel camera.

Now I know, all lenses have flare, and the software, filter, processors, etc eliminate it, but it was such a huge deal with the Pixel.

I know this was not a normal lighting condition, shaded area with a bright background, but honestly it was only during similar scenes that I would see the flare on my Pixel.

I'll check my wife's phone to see if hers also flares, but my guess is that it will.

Anyone else noticed this?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
The second image I posted is darker and clearer because I used the auto correct in editing. It originally looked just like the first.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
Never noticed any lens flares on my phone, but the pixel's lens flare is much worse, see if you get it in other situations.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
I'll definitely keep an eye on it. I didn't think the Pixels was that bad or any worse then this one, and I've used the Pixel XL for the last six months.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] stevessvt:
Finger print flair?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
My finger was nowhere near the lens and I had just wiped it clean with a microfiber cloth. There were no fingerprints or smudges on it.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TylerG518:
Hi guys... i'm actually brand new to the forums. I read threads on here a lot since I will google a phone question & this website usually comes up in some of the 1st results. I never made an account though.. I have now because I haven't been able to find a clear answer on this one..

Just a little back story ; I had StraightTalk with an AT&T simcard from like 2013-2016 on straight talk with an iPhone 5, 5S, and 6 but they were all either AT&T models, or, for example, the iPhone 6 I had was an unlocked model. They worked regardless. & I never had any issues with coverage. I got signal practically everywhere, and had LTE coverage always. It was literally a clone of the coverage you'd get if you actually had AT&T, the coverage maps matched and data speeds weren't even capped, I was getting about 20 or so megs around here in the area, which would have been the same even if I was actually with AT&T.

I went to Verizon postpaid when I turned 18, and wanted to get a new phone, so I was on postpaid from May of 2016 with Verizon until about 2 days ago because they were just getting too expensive to afford. I assumed my experience with straight talk was gonna be exactly the same as it always was when I had them with all my iPhone's. & just to let you guys know, I did much research beforehand & I knew that all of Verizon's smartphone being released these days are already carrier unlocked, & are world/global phone's right out of the box. Not only this, but the model of my Verizon S8 is SM-G950U, which is the same model number as the unlocked galaxy S8 that's not sold from any carrier.

So with all of that in mind, for some reason, my coverage is terrible on StraightTalk. I am only getting HSPA+ ( faux 4g, i'm acting as if you guys don't know what i'm talking about :laugh: ) & when I leave my house, very RARELY LTE. Signal strength is not as good either. I've searched google for hours..... & i've tried multiple different APN's on the phone... but I can't seem to do anything. & I couldn't find many threads on here about it either. I'm just so confused and lost because it is a known fact that the Verizon S8 is a world phone. & the bands that AT&T runs it's LTE on is also the exact same bands that the G950U supports. So is there something i'm doing wrong here? Or something you guys might be able to help me with? I know that with all my iPhone's on ST I was getting LTE no matter what and signal strength was much better. It's just very dissapointing that I spent $60+ on an activation kit, and get absolutely ****ty coverage, and I have no clue what to do at this point. I've given up. For anyone who took the time to read all of this, thank you. Lol.

[Verizon LG G6 Questions & Answers] MrJoker8989:
I am a long time frustrated Samsung on Verizon user; that has been living with out root, and I am considering an G6 and would like to know if I will be able to root the phone on the Verizon network.

I saw the thread about the OEM bootloader, and I suspect that you would need to have that in order to root.

Could someone confirm, can the G6 be rooted?

If Verizon prevents this, I will switch to another phone vendor.

Thanks, in Advanced

I don't know much about either and am currently researching it. Any info would be nice.

[Verizon LG G6 Questions & Answers] markfm:
The one thing I've installed is BK Package Disabler, which lets you disable bloatware. You have to wipe out all accounts on your g6, then install BK, then re-delete your Google account, then run an adb command to allow BK Device Admin.

Best I can tell it is honestly disabling a lot of the bundled junk. It has a pretty clean user interface, touch any item and it'll bring up an option to Google it.

Hello,

I have just updated today to new version of firmware.

After the update all I can see when the phone restarts is "System UI has stopped".

Only other thing that works properly is always on display and partly edge screen.

The phone works only if I set dpi to over 390, under 390 it is always displaying that System UI has stopped and I can see only black screen.

Does anyone have any idea how can I fix this issue so I can set my DPI back to more useable value?

I already disabled the extra dot in the nav bar in settings. I am not sure what else is new and may be causing that.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] force70:
That same update broke my mobile data.

Factory reset didnt fix it for me but if i were you id try that first.

Short of that (and what I did) was flash the previous firmware version in odin to fix it..

Im going to try and flash the new update in odin to see if it messed up my phone again as sometimes OTAs can cause issues.

Try this: going into Settings -> Display -> Navigation bar and just change the Button layout. It worked in my case, or at least so far.

How did you uninstall substratum (and it's addons)? The same thing has happened to my Note 8, but I can't uninstall anything because of the black screen and system ui error.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dremelofdeath:
I am considering upgrading to the S8. I like that the G950F has an unlocked bootloader on a phone that has (almost) everything I want.

But it seems like it's a bit of a hassle to get it to work fully on the T-Mobile network. It looks like I can flash the CSC to enable WiFi Calling and VoLTE on it, but is there any hope for 256QAM and 4x4 MIMO? There's hardly any information about this other than one or two threads. So I'd like to know:

If I go with the G950F over the T-Mobile or Unlocked US variants, what am I missing out on out of the box?

What will flashing the T-Mobile CSC

not

fix? (I currently think it

does

fix WiFi Calling and VoLTE.)

Can I flash the T-Mobile US modem on the G950F to fix this, or will that just brick my device? (Snapdragon image on Exynos terrifies me.)

Am I missing some other way (like a secret service mode or something) that would allow me to force 256QAM and/or 4x4 MIMO on the G950F?

I really hate that I can't just have a US model with an unlocked bootloader...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Charkatak:
I think Galaxy S8 International variant maybe missing some bands and I would suggest you either get T-Mobile as you mentioned or US unlocked. With US unlocked which I already ordered from Samsung, should support all T-Mobile features: VoLTE, Band 12 and WiFi Calling.
