OK. Thanks, for hanging with me!

I found which folders each of my nandroids are located.

The original nandroid, created just after unlock is in root/data/media/TWRP.

The nandroid made today is in root/data/media/0/TWRP

Why did TWRP make a second folder in a slightly different location?

Which location should I use as my primary and delete the other? ( I think that I've figured out the answer for this one. Whichever folder TWRP recognizes, for the RESTORE function, is the 'right' folder. That would currently be the folder with the latest Nandroid. I still wonder why the first Nadroid was placed in a different folder)
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Borchuck:
I'm glad you have succeed. :) I think the default location is root/data/media/0/TWRP, at least in my case it is still the same. Maybe root/data/media/TWRP was created before internal storage was even formated.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] joefuf:
What do you guys do for warranty coverage for this device? I'm finding now that Verizon (with coverage by Asurion) will only replace a device that Verizon sells, so I would potentially receive the Verizon Exclusive variant of the Z2 Play. Additionally, Motorola says that

That would negate the possibility of me getting the Motorola warranty coverage instead.

I want to unlock and be able to use TWRP/Magisk, but I also want to know that this $400 device has some kind of protection in general.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] pizza_pablo:
I don't have a warranty and accept it, if something goes wrong. It is worth the risk, to me.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] joefuf:
Interesting. I'm good with my devices too, having only gone through two phones in the past five years. Just some peace of mind that I am used to. I'll be curious to hear from any other commenters too. I am aware of several banks/credit cards that cover you up to a certain amount when you pay your wireless bill with them. I wonder if that would also be voided by unlocking the bootloader...
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] pizza_pablo:
You find your own post interesting? :cyclops: :p
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] joefuf:
Negative. I nested my comment in your reply if you re-read.

I did spend a good part of the day on the phone with customer service at Verizon, Motorola, and Wells Fargo. With the Wells Fargo Cell Phone Protection Benefit you get for paying your monthly bill with one of their credit cards, it sounds like the process for insurance coverage is fairly simple and would not be voided by us unlocking our bootloaders. I think I'm going to stop paying $30 a month for insurance for my family's lines and get one of their cards.

Looking forward to asking for help on this thread in a few.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] pizza_pablo:
Whatever you say dude.

I was just poking at you.

It was really pretty simple. My only hesitation was not having firmware available on Motorola's site.

But someone has posted the stock firmware, here, so I just had to make sure my phone was not above it.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] joefuf:
Haha, I gotcha.

Maybe I can ask you about the process first before other users chime in.

Is it really this easy?:

1. After I get Motorola to send me my bootloader unlock code, I'm going to boot into Fastboot mode and plug into the flash drive (formatted to FAT32) with the necessary files

2. I'm going to have the TWRP img file linked to in the OP in the directory on my computer where I launch my adb window and "fastboot boot albus_twrp.img"

3. And then I'm going to unplug from the computer and plug into the flash drive and follow the steps where I wipe the necessary partitions listed in the OP

4. Then I will flash the zips that are listed and linked to in the OP: DM-Verity and then I will flash the Magisk linked to in the OP (I cannot use a newer Magisk, correct?)

5. I will reboot and then I will sideload the Magisk Manager apk that is linked to in the OP.

And that's it? I feel like I can follow that if that's all I've got to accomplish.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] pizza_pablo:
1. Fastboot program will be on your computer and you will perform the fastboot commands on the computer with the phone connected via USB cable, while in bootloader / fastboot mode. Here you will get the phone details to send to Motorola to get you unlock code. Then the unlock code with be used in fastboot to unlock your bootloader.

2.flash TWRP onto phone using computer and fastboot commands.

3. Yes, follow the OP for wiping in order for TWRP to operate properly.

At this point I made a nandroid, before rooting.

4. I used a micro SD card to usb-c adapter and put Magisk and DM Verity and Forced Encryption on the SD card adapter and it worked, instead of an OTG flash drive. I used the Magisk in the OP, but it soon updated to v14.0. I don't know if you can start with v14.

5. Sideload Magisk app.

My main purposes for rooting was to prevent upgrade to oreo and install Dolby Atmos.

Warning, this was all written from memory, so double check each step, prior to performing.

Good luck and may the Force be with you!
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] joefuf:
Thanks for the quick reply

1. I can accomplish the bootloader unlock process easily, so that's cool.

2. I can confidently flash TWRP using the computer

3. I can follow the procedures to wipe the partitions (using the computer)

-- Now I disconnect from the computer and plug into the Aukey OTG cable I have and the USB thumb drive with the DM Verity and Forced Encryption zips --

4. I flash those zips and the Magisk zip (and it is good to know that you can easily update after you install the version that we have in this post)

5. Sideload the Magisk apk after boot and install it and I'm good to go

Correct?
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] pizza_pablo:
All of that looks good, with the exception of wiping partitions in fastboot. I just don't recall if I did that in fastboot or TWRP. That's why I cautioned to follow the OP directions.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] joefuf:
If it's anything like Clockwork Recovery, which I imagine it is, wiping will all be in TWRP. And since I have yet to apply to Motorola for bootloader unlock, I've got a few days for some other users to come by this thread and hopefuly give me some guidance.

Thanks for the help [MENTION=5592523]pizza_pablo[/MENTION]
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] joefuf:
Should I still be using this version of TWRP? I see now that there seems to be a more updated developed version on this subforum.

I have updated my Z2 Play to the most recent security update, so now I'm just waiting for confirmation on how I should go about the process to flash Magisk and DM Verity so that I don't brick the new toy.

Update: Wow, that was really easy. I was totally overthinking it. All set up and running now.

I downloaded and flashed my J7 with this ROM. It's very stable and looks and works great. I wonder why the developer doesn't update the download link. Is there something wrong with the ROM? I highly recommend it. So far there seems to be no bugs. At first the camera gave the server error but the fix provided worked fine. The Gallery app stopped a few times but after a couple of restarts it's working now as well. I forgot to wipe the cache while installing and all my settings and apps were kept. Next time I'll wipe the cache for fresh start. Thanks for the ROM and the hard work.

Thank you! Thank you! I always wanted to have this feature. It installed and it's working but I have one problem. There's no home button when the AOD is on and I have to press the power key to get to the home screen. Can I get the home button to wake-up the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Yash93:
Before posting things on each thread.. Also make users notice about the issues which can damage the display due to constant use of AOD .. even if it does support now samsung has a reason why it has not integrated the feature.. Flagship devices support that kind of display + hardware compatibility required for the feature which couldnt cause any damage for the same..

Be happy with what you have.. Best way to get that feature.. Get a phone that actually supports it .

My Gallery keeps crashing too when I try to play video. Another bug I noticed is that my voice is not heard by the other side in speaker mode during a call.

I was reading on here the other day about opera mobile 9.5 being released soon. Well, I cant find the post about it so I will just spread the news that I have found.

Taken from here http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9866002-7.html?tag=nefd.lede

Quite possibly for the first time, Opera Software will receive real pressure in the mobile-browser space from Firefox Mobile and Skyfire.

Like Opera's cell phone browser, Opera Mini (video), both newcomers are free. However, Opera Mobile, which serves Windows Mobile and Symbian S60 phones, is a commercial product that smartphone users may not want to pay for when handed alternatives gratis.

How does Opera plan to keep current customers and attract new ones when consumers face a choice between paying $24 and $0? I asked the Opera folks if they would consider making Opera Mobile free in anticipation of or in response to oncoming competition.

I must say, I really like diggin around in this community. Quite informative.

And Kudos to Helmi and Xplode especially.

No. J7 2016 will not receive Android Oreo update. Mid rangers receive only one major OS update.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Cyterafle:
Tu

Mid-range gets 2 major OS update,for exemple the J7 2015 was released with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop and Samsung do an update to Marshmallow 6.0.1 and in September,to Nougat

1 update for mid-range (J5 and J5 2016) is because they doesn't have an Exynos they have a Snapdragon 410
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] aryanking01:
Bro. J7 2015 or the J700f/h Only got the official Marshmallow update but the No official Nougat updates. We do have custom ported Nougat ROMs for J7 2015 which I am running. And Ruturaj Madam is right. I don't think J7 (2016) will get an update now. Its already 2018 no updates yet.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Cyterafle:
J700M has official Nougat

And for Oreo they can release it in Summer 2018
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Cyterafle:
Look
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] aryanking01:
Yes sir. I know about the Nougat upgrade for the J7 2016 variants. But I was just saying that the J7 2015 variant did not even receive the official Nougat variant. So maybe J7 2016 variants wont have the oreo official upgrade. But if it gets it, even better :)

We'll never know for sure. But my bet is also for "no" - the J7s of 2015 and 2016 are pretty out-of-dated as of 2018. Damn marketing which demands constant, yearly smartphone releases.

[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Cyterafle:
J700M is j7 2015
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] aryanking01:
Oh I did not see that. That was a Brazilian model I guess. J700f/h are Indian models. And sadly. We didn't receive any updates ? But I will be more then happy if any of the mid-rangers get updated to Oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Cyterafle:
Because there are 8GB J7 Models
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] aryanking01:
J700M or the J700f/h? See I m using J700f and it has 16gb internal space and works perfectly fine. But J700M model has 16gb internal space too I just searched it on Google. I think if any of the J series model get the Oreo update. Then someone will port them to these devices. Waiting for updates :)
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Cyterafle:
It will be difficult because there is no J with Exynos 7580 in 2016 and in 2017
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] aryanking01:
Thier are possibilities but lets see. Even I will be buying a new boy soon so its not something which is going to bother me much. I can live with Nougat because it is still powerful and their aren't much changes in Oreo which are too good to die for it. I respect you bro for having a discussion here and gave me opportunity to grab some info. Thanks. :)
