Where can I find recovery.img? I already have a file named "recovery E4 plus" but it wasn't downloaded through here. Though it may be the same file just renamed, I would like to download it from here.

Just to recap everything and correct me if I am wrong.

Unlock bootloader

Run everything from the ADB file folder with the Recovery.img inside the folder

Then root with magisk 14.3.zip which should be copied to the internal space on the phone.

Am I missing any other files?

Just curious, what is the stock ROM for moto unlocked e4 plus?
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] shezzy83:
The recovery.img is in the download tab of this thread.

Your directions look correct

Would this method work on Verizon prepaid E4 Plus? I bought one from Target a few weeks ago, bought a code form ebay to unlock it and used it on TMO for a while. I doubt the bootloader can be unlocked on mine,
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] shezzy83:
If your bootloader can't be unlocked then I doubt it. I think I read somewhere that the Verizon varient has it's bootloader permalocked
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jp0213x:
I went to the moto site to see if the bootloader is eligible for unlocking, unfortunately the model I have cannot be. So does that mean the phone cannot be rooted?
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] soaringowl2145:
Just taking a guess here and say no. You can try kingroot and see if that works.

Does this work the sprint e4 plus?
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] blcistheking:
Still no way to get Xposed/gravitybox installed?

What's so different between this and the regular E4 that was confirmed to be able to install it?
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] clu1688:
Newbie question, I saw someone mentioned that we should go to Motorola site and get unlock code to unlock the bootloader. Is this needed because the whole purpose of THIS thread is to unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and then root. We do not need to go to Moto site to get unlock code, correct?

Thanks in advance,
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] soaringowl2145:
No. In order to unlock your bootloader you will need to enter the unlock code that is given to you by Motorola.

But keep in mind that once Motorola gives you the code to unlock your warranty becomes officially void.

The regular E4 has lower specs than the E4 Plus.

Hey everyone. I updated Carrier Services in the playstore this week and it broke my magisk saftynet. Fortunately I had a backup before that update and everything is back to working again. Beware of that update.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] glockman4519:
Which version of Magisk are you on. You may want to try 14.5 as it was just released not long ago and may have fixes for the latest Google services patches. It's worth a try.

I just got mine today in the mail from Motorola and I got it from them so I was sure I would be able to unlock the bootloader since their devices (sold directly from them) are still the international versions and will buy default also work on any carrier.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Magendanz:
WARNING: Don't do factory reset or update from system

This version of TWRP is not reading and clearing the bootloader control block (BCB). So, if you do a factory reset via Settings->Backup & Reset->Factory Data Reset, you'll be stuck in a TWRP bootloop.

The quick workaround is to reboot to bootloader, then proceed from there to Start. However, you'll need to do this *every* time until the BCB is cleared.

To clear the BCB manually, issue this command in TWRP terminal:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc bs=1M

Or alternatively, just issue the following command from the bootloader:

fastboot erase misc

[MENTION=4930841]ReimuHakurei[/MENTION]: I tried to fix a similar problem with a non-standard BCB offset on Rockchip devices. The BOARD_RECOVERY_BLDRMSG_OFFSET makefile variable is used to set BCB offset for command-line arguments in the /misc partition. However, the code to convert it to the precompiler directive was removed. I submitted a change to restore it in an appropriate context, but I don't believe it was ever checked in.

Ok so i have 2 E4 Plus unlocked from Amazon (no ads) i ran the boot loader unlock and both unlocked...... I then did the root method following the guide for the E4 and used the recovery image in this thread.....all hell broke loose i had a bunch of error when installing Magisk even just doing a cache clear in twrp would always say " failed to mount data" etc etc. Then the phone went int a twrp loop and would not boot the os......All i would get was a tiny N/A in top left corner OR i could fastboot TWRP But do nothing else.

I tried too many times but finally gave up. I decided to try the 2nd phone which all went much smoother and this time i only flashed the noverity zip and Magisk I did NOT format data this time and all seems ok.......i booted a few times all good

EXCEPT i keep getting a tiny N/A in top left corner durring boot BUT it boots fine

I then did a twrp backup and "moved " the back up to the BAD phone and did a restore and boom its back to normal

Both units boot with the n/a in top corner.

any ideas why i get that message?????
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
That n/a screen is what you get instead of the normal bootlogo after unlocking the bootloader. It's perfectly normal.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] hofs1:
Thats what i was hoping it was So thanks for that info!!!!!

I now after some googling see that some have made a flashable e4 bootlogo that helps hide the N/A not sure if it applies to the E4 Plus
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
The tutorial for making logos and the pre-made logos in the E4 thread will work just fine for the Plus. I just flashed the BlueBot logo to be sure.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] hofs1:

After using twrp and whatnot, I ended up not having an OS due to me effing up. lol. My bad. Now, after using the retail.zip and fastboot flashing all of it back, the SECOND it boots I get hit with com.android.phone has stopped, rendering the phone inoperable. Help? :( I just got the dang thing. I want it to work. lol
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
Did you flash the full firmware or only the system? How did you flash it? It looks like your not the only one this has happened to.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Daltonyx:
Only partially I guess. I can't find an RSD that works on Win10 nor a version of the retail ROM in an xml format to do it in, then again I've had a long night and it just probably isn't making sense at this point. Any fix so far? Or can ya point me in any given direction?

Try flashing the attached zip.

Basically what I'm getting at here, is xposed doesn't work, huh? :(
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
Did you allow TWRP to modify system when asked after first installing and booting TWRP? I haven't had the problem and Xposed works fine for me so I'm not sure what your problem is.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Daltonyx:
Yeah, I allowed modifications. I got it to be r/w not, but every time I install true Xposed, bootloop. Then, when I'm try to install magisk systemless Xposed, it says magisk not activated o.o

Very new to magisk though, no idea wtf that means, besides the obvious something isn't installed properly
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
It can take a while to boot after installing Xposed. I've had it boot in like 10 mins one time and take closer to 30 another. It's best to wipe dalvik/art cache also. I've never had a bootloop on the E4 or E4 Plus after flashing Xposed. If Xposed says Magisk is not active, try going to Magisk settings and make sure Xposed is checked off in the #Superuser section like in the screenshot. There's a brand new Magisk V14.6 just released and seems to work fine also in case you didn't get it yet.

Edit: make sure your using an untouched boot.img when you flash Magisk also to make sure you don't have problems with it.

Hi everyone, I was hoping someone could help me out with rooting my Moto E4 Plus XT1775.

I am completely new to this kind of stuff, and I just want to make sure I have the steps down correctly before I proceed.

1. Unlock bootloader -- DONE

2. Download the latest Magisk.zip and put it on my phone.

3. Go into the bootload and flash TWRP using the recovery.img from this post with this command:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

4 Start TWRP with this command:

fastboot reboot recovery

5. Install the latest Magisk by hitting install and selecting the Magisk.zip in the TWRP menu.

6. Install the MagiskManager.apk to receive root.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you!

[MENTION=7948834]soaringowl2145[/MENTION] The Moto E4 Plus is a fairly new phone for me, so I might be off-base, but my assumption has been that as soon as I replaced the recovery with TWRP, I lost the ability to update via OTA. Which doesn't concern me since:

a) As you pointed out, we are already running the latest June update.

b) I can always download the latest firmware from https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto E4 Plus/Stock/ and flash it myself.

c) Most importantly I will switch over to a custom ROM once there is a stable build that supports my carrier.

In the meantime being rooted allows me to customize my phone (running Xposed and several other mods) as I want.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] soaringowl2145:

[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Goose03:
It should still work, even getting that message. I get the same message when flashing it , but it still gets flashed to the device and works fine. I don't believe there are any other twrp builds for Owens, so unless you have Nicklaus (the mediatek variant) this recovery should work.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] glockman4519:
Yes, it will say that but after it's done just reboot to recovery right from the bootoader and you will be in TWRP. So it still flashes even though it says that the file is unsigned and may be corrupt.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] soaringowl2145:
So apparently with the newest OTA update the rom will automatically reinstall the stock recovery and take out twrp so you will have to manually install TWRP each time it's needed if you run the stock rom.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Goose03:
You need to reboot twrp once (select option to reboot recovery) after flashing and booting to it the first time. That's nothing new. It changes a file in /system recovery-from-boot.p to recovery-from-boot.bak This is what reinstalls the stock recovery. You can also do it manually with twrp file manager to make sure it gets done.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] da.goat316:
I need help. So I unlocked my bootloader. Then I got the twrp from this thread and flash it using fastboot commands. After i booted upTWRP I* went to flash magisk.zip from the magisk thread. Then I rebooted to start my normal boot up. This is where everything goes wrong, my phone goes into a boot loop and gets stuck on the blue Moto logo screen. Only way I can fix it is if I restore it from the back up I made in TWRP. Once I restore it I must reboot my system to boot in fastboot mode then from there select the start option. If I don't do this then my phone will again go into a boot loop and I must restore again. Can anyone help? I'm trying to root my phone but this boot loop is killing me.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] soaringowl2145:
Try doing a factory reset from twrp and then install magisk.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bcrichster:
No. Clear caches and install the "MagiskUninstall.zip", then reboot. Once ya get working again, figure out what you flashed, as I noticed that the Moto security patch update made a CPL magisk pkgs cause device to not boot. Namely the f2fs workaround bug patch... Had to use version v2018.1.24.zip
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] da.goat316:
So I did exactly what you said, step by step. I managed to get my phone booted without having to restore. However, when I reboot into recovery (from fastboot mode vol. Down + power) I no longer have a recovery. I know I can always reflash it , just thought I included that in for. Anyways, I am still not rooted. Any suggestions?
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bcrichster:
Reflash TWRP to recovery, reboot recovery, flash Magisk or SuperSu. Just be careful and check the MD5# hashcodes (before flashing) to ensure your download isn't corrupted

Running Boost Mobile stock NCRS26.58-44-3 (January security patch) :

- Flashed Magisk v16.0.zip,

- dm-verity.opt-encrypt.zip,

- reboot.

Then go back to recovery and flash the f2fs workaround bug patch (if needed) + whatever Magisk zips ya want

Now if you done flashed the thing into Oblivion with failing zips and nothing is working right, I'd recommend the "Completely back to Stock" option. I've used it a CPL times myself and is pretty easy and straightforward once ya do it and see. I even made a post in the thread for Boost Mobile device fastboot cmds.
