I just flashed magisk without the no verity, all good. Thanks dude. I've had all Samsung phones and nexus tablets, it's my first Moto.

Mine flashed TWRP on the first try, hers took a bunch of tries. Had to update my platform tools to get it to take. But all good.

stock backup got messed up when I did mine, swore I would remember with hers. Nope, swiped install for magisk and I was like, dang it I forgot again. But that's why I wanted to do hers without the no verity, so I could uninstall magisk and factory reset and be back to stock. With mine I did the no verity zip so my boot.img backup (after uninstalling magisk) won't be truly stock. But hers will be.

This is my first moto phone since the razr lol, i switched from LG.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] easyrider77:
So 2 questions.

1: I noticed this is a e4 moto thread. Will this same method work as well on the e4 plus phones?

If not, then please disregard this next question. If it will then please read on

2:

I am guessing you are referring to google play?
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
I think you need a different TWRP, but the rest should work
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] jp0213x:
Will this work for the unlocked E4 plus? I would like to root my E4 plus that is activated on the sprint network.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
That question is in this thread like 3 or 4 times. Flip a few pages or try the search button.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] jp0213x:
Believe it or not , this is my first unlocked phone, thought it would have wifi calling like the sprint variant but the feature is missing. The unlocked version was cheaper outright from BB over sprint. That is why I am here to see what are my options are once rooted. Its been a few years since I rooted and have forgotten the process. I just want to make sure the same process can be achieved on the e4 plus. Also are folks installing custom roms on the unlocked e 4 plus?
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
You have to go to the e4 plus forum. The TWRP linked in this thread is not for the plus. The root steps should be the same, but you need the right recovery for your model.

Ok so im trying to flash twrp on my perry variant, but keep getting this:

<bootloader> image not signed or corupt

any ideas on how I can fix this
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I think that is normal with the bootloader unlocked. I'm pretty sure I got that also. Does it say it flashed successfully or it failed?
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] kskillz2000:
Says flashed successful but I can't boot to twrp. I just get the Android bot on his back
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Yeah, that bot on it's back is the stock recovery. Are you sure your flashing the right one and didn't mix up the recoveries? Did you rename twrp to recovery.img and mix them up maybe?
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] kskillz2000:
Nope using the version for perry
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
It sounds like twrp isn't actually flashing, or the ROM is replacing it with the stock recovery when you reboot. How are you trying to boot to recovery after flashing twrp?
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] kskillz2000:
I flash TWRP, then click reboot to recovery. It reboots but if I boot up the system it's gone
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
OK, I gotcha. Flash twrp, boot to it, mount system and go to the file manager. Go to /system and scroll down. You'll see a file named recovery-from-boot.p along with the build.prop. Rename it to recovery-from-boot.p.bak or add a ~ at the end and unmount system and reboot. You should be good to go. It's just the ROM reflashing the stock recovery.

Edit: if you should want stock recovery back just rename it back the way it was and reboot.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] kskillz2000:
Ok can I pm you? About to fire up the pc
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Sure
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] kskillz2000:
I did what you sugested gonna see if that helped.

Other than that, I probally have to try tomorrow

Can somebody help me root my phone please xt1765 US metro. last phone I rooted was the first Galaxy s Verizon.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
The instructions are in the OP. It's all there, read it. Just flash the latest Magisk to root instead of phh's su like it says. If you have trouble, state exactly what you did, and ask for help.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] mookey1986:
Hmm thx, I kinda need a exact step by step guide that is guaranteed to work, because if I screw up I won't have internet access for a bit lol.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Did you unlock the bootloader yet? If so, just download squid2's latest recovery. Flash it with fastboot. Boot to twrp and allow it to modify the system, then flash the zip to disable dmverity and forced encryption. That's it. Some users seem to have no trouble like myself, and some have had problems. Hopefully, you won't have problems.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] mookey1986:

What's up guys? I've got a Moto E4 Plus and when I Google XDA instructions for rooting it it brings me here. I read the 1st 7 pages without seeing a single mention of the Boost Moto E4 Plus. Should I give it a go? Thanks and I promise I'm not being lazy. My laptop got stolen and I have a 1 time opportunity to borrow a computer tonight and I really need to get this done.

[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] PimpMy5Ton:
Hi guys, I just wanted to add that I gained root on the stock rom by booting Squid2's TWRP, I then formatted data, then I rebooted to bootloader and booted TWRP from the image again, now I had access to the internal storage, I then copied no-verity zip and PHH's Superuser zip onto internal storage while in TWRP, after that I clicked into my downloads folder flashed both zips and then rebooted into system, then I installed PHH's Superuser from Play Store and I now have root, I verified it by giving my ES File Explorer Pro root access :)
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
That's an awful lot to do when all you need to do is use an external sd card or a USB drive, flash recovery don't just boot to it, and flash the latest Magisk V14.5, not phh's su.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] KyleBryant:
Revised OP to show to use magisk as it's much more reliable and updated.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] kskillz2000:
I need some help guys. When trying to format i get the error mkfs.f2fs -t 0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p54 process enede with ERROR: 255

Unable to format to remove encryption.

The phone boots only to twrp...

Any help is much appreciated
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
Did you flash the no verity opt encrypt zip?

To boot to system, select reboot bootloader then tap volume till you see start. Tap power.

Amazon E4 plus Qualcomm varient XT1775 unlocked

I have the Amazon E4 plus variant XT1775 which is unlocked for all carriers. Found my way to here through the forums. Basically when i try to get the unlock code from Moto they say no no. Does this confirm I am dead in the water when it comes to rooting?

Another question. I understand that unlocking the bootloader is needed to install the custom recovery and superuser to gain root, but what would happen if i skipped that step and tried to install TWRP? Can i just try to flash the non-Amazon stock ROM via official methods? Are the answers to these questions "no" and "bricked"? These questions are just for my personal curiosity.

My goal is not root, just to remove the ads, specifically the lock-screen ad.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
Your assumptions are correct. You can't skip those steps. You can't flash twrp on a locked bootloader. Also there is a separate forum for the plus model. I think there are some adb commands for removing the ads.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] RJMason:
Wold you possibly heave a link to that. I was not able to locate it in the E4 Plus forums? Thanks
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
Yeah, I think this is what you're looking for.

This phone''s bootloader is unlocked. I have been working on trying to flash twrp for days now trying different methods including the instructions in the OP of this thread but have had no success.

Put the twrp.img in the same folder as adb and fastboot.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] cw-sooner:
Once I do that, do I need to hit shift + right click in the empty folder space to bring up a menu for command prompt? Because I´ve tried that and PowerShell comes up as the only command line option.

Also, is it normal for the data to not be working after unlocking the bootloader? I know some with Boost e4´s which I have, have had problems with not data not working after rooting.
[Asus Transformer TF700] crazybabyboy911:
Hello,

I am new here and asking you guys for a real help.

what is the best ROM for TF700T Device ?? Because i am facing too much lag .

and whats the best kernel ??
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Any of the Katkiss roms starting with the Lollipop version are great. I would go for the Katshmallow, but that is totally personal preference. There are no kernels to chose from. You can fine tune the existing one with the Katkernel app, but only up to MM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] crazybabyboy911:
Thanks for your Replay berndblb , I appreciated that.

here is my TF700T information , Please take a look and guide me to the right pathز

please give me the requirements step by step , Thank you .

Note : someone upgraded for me to CM11 - Crombi KK , but the most said CROMi-X much better.

But I believe with your personal choose of katkiss rom please tell me what to do in easy steps.

[IMG="TF700T Information"]https://image.ibb.co/iBjP7F/Screenshot_2017_08_07_21_21_24.png[/IMG]

Much more important is your bootloader version and what recovery you are using.

Read my Beginners Guide in the General section. It's the first sticky
[Asus Transformer TF700] crazybabyboy911:
Hello, I think that i made a mistake

right now my device is stock to a blue screen teamwin

I tried to go to fastboot and I can see my device numbers and letters.

but when I tried to flash twp it is keep telling me "cannot load twrp img"

Note : now my device is stock on teamwin blue screen.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Looks as if the recovery flash was successful, don;t know why it does not boot...

Are you sure you flashed a compatible TWRP version for the TF700?

Post your bootloader version and the recovery version you flashed with a link to it's source.

And don;t do anything rash now! You are fine - nothing happened that can't be fixed. So far....
[Asus Transformer TF700] crazybabyboy911:
Dear berndblb :cowboy:

Your cooperation in this matter is highly appreciated.

I am already done with the Blue Screen of teamwin on the same day i wrote about that issue.

I have found a solution that worked out for me.

right now i am running KatKiss ROM MarshMallow 6.0.1 that can be found on this source :

https://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf700/development/rom-t3282166

that was taken from your second replay on your thread " Beginners Guide to root and flashing a custom ROM on the TF700T"

anyway, I have some question about upgrading my twrp version.

Because I am running an old version of twrp with exactly v2.6.3-that3.

so please help me upgrading my twrp recovery project.

Thank you.

[Moto Z Force Guides, News, & Discussion] jetman36:
Just got the update yesterday myself. was excited to see that it was 7.1.1 but got annoyed fast that it broke my admittedly already broken Bluetooth. (wouldn't turn on) But after backing everything up and a little bit of stumbling through the "restore" part of a full reset everything is running great as far as i can tell. I like the new launcher but i don't like that I can't do away with the "most recent" apps thing at the top. i just don't use it and don't wan't it there if I'm not going to use it.
[Moto Z Force Guides, News, & Discussion] karendar:
The update broke my phone. Hooray.

**edit** Ok, so updated the phone. I got an error saying Recovery was unreadable, booted in bootloader mode... Rebooted, same thing. Shut off the phone. It recommended to use Software repair from Verizon... So plug in the USB-C, fire up the phone... It boots up to the splash screen and freeezes... Then 10 minutes later, REBOOTS TO RECOVERY?!

So I try and do what I can in recovery, but to no avail. So I reboot it again... And let it go. It bootloops 4-5 times and eventually boots up! So I thought, cool. It's fixed. Nope! I reboot, and I'm back in phone limbo. Stupid POS. :\
[Moto Z Force Guides, News, & Discussion] karendar:
So I factory reset... And now the phone is even more broken than before. YAY!!!! :P This is the worst update ever.
[Moto Z Force Guides, News, & Discussion] NeWCuLTKiNG:

It's not working with my Surface Book. I'll have to try it from another computer at home... I have a weird behavior when I leave my SIM card and SD card inside the phone on top of that: Once every 3 times I reboot, phone doesn't boot anymore. Getting annoyed with all of this. :P
[Moto Z Force Guides, News, & Discussion] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Do you have a spare sd sounds like it's going bad or needs to be formatted. If you can I'd wipe everything internal external and fresh install
[Moto Z Force Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.roots:
Remove your sim car tray before boot, guess the update doesn't like our CA network (had the same issue, but did it again when I plugged it to charge this after noon)
[Moto Z Force Guides, News, & Discussion] karendar:
Other threads say it's an issue with Samsung SD cards (Which I have). Whenever I boot without it, everything is fine... Problem is I still can't restore from the Software assistant app, all I can do is factory reset from recovery.

After reading on Verizon website, I just realized that it takes up to a week after an update before you can use the assistant...

I also paid a premium for that samsung micro SD 128gb Evo... But also hope it can fix our z force droid Bluetooth issues...

Can't wait to see if the assistant can fix it (do you think a re-install without the SD card can change something ?)

Anyone else noticing improved battery life after the update? I did a full factory reset after the update because it broke my Bluetooth but its been running great for me. Today might just be a fluke so ill keep a close eye over the next few days but so far it seems to be doing better with idle drain and drain with light usage.(web browsing, music, pictures, ect.)
[Moto Z Force Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.roots:
I didn't get your luck, since the first small update in beginning of July, nothing but trouble, phone overheat (huge drain) reboots often (more drain) and weird unused app battery usage... Since August update, no improvement same thing...

I used to be able to make 2 days or a little more if I'm lucky... Now barely a day... ?

i wouldn't call my typical usage normal. im always hammering on my phones. if im not using them to research, im playing games, multitasking, taking pictures, recording video, using social media both personal and for work. (im in car sales) so i almost always have my tumi powerpack mod on all of the time. from unplug at 8:30am untill 12:30/1:30AM my phone is going almost nonstop, at least until i slow down a little bit when i get home at 8:15pm.

As for today i'm currently at 50% on the phone, my tumi mod always runs in efficiency mode, so its currently depleted, and ive got 4h 25m of screen on time as of this posting. normally im closer to 30% by this time and less usage. (ive been going at it on SCR Racing 2 today :))
