Well I'm also on boost and the update for pie hasn't been released yet. But you would lose root and twrp, but in order to even take the update once it comes out is by reflashing the latest security update with Oreo with no magisk or twrp. Then take the ota. Honestly I wouldn't even update it until there's a stock firmware with pie uploaded to the site. the latest security update with oreo is uploaded on the firmware site in the guide though so if you mess up anywhere at least you can reflash without worrying about if there's a stock firmware yet.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
How would you get pie?
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Sands207:
Do we know if the pie source code for the g6 play is available for other carriers yet? I'll build from source if so.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] wrecche:
:) I actually worked out I was aleiter, everything said it was jeter, but when I would adb I saw aljeter.. and I went to mirrors.lolinet.com archive and scoured it till I saw the aljeter list, and there it was. It was too easy.

Sadly, I then went to Pie and that's where everything fell apart. I have spent the past 8 hours with no sleep, trying to fix an ever worsening boot loop. :o Magisk did me an injustice. But persistence pays off. Luckily I'd taken a full system nano image, and combined with an OTG cable, somehow, I adored for the first time "Hello Moto" because I thought I'd need a new phone.

Ahh what joy, I don't know how everyone else does it for fun!! lol

Thanks though, hey. And I think I'll stick with 8.0.0 for a while yet. :)
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
It's officially rolling out in Australia and stuff. Unless it's still a soak test. us should be next on the list
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
Sprint, boost, Virgin?
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
That I'm not sure. The reason I even know about that from all the stuff I seen While searching for xt1922-1 lol
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
So, Aljeter. Bummer.?
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
Yea. The us never gets anything cool
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] kop524:
Does it work on XT1922-3 model?
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
If you are able to have your bootloader unlocked and you have either the Moto g6 play Jeter or aljeter then yes it should work. If your not able to have your bootloader unlocked then it won't work.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
There's alot of different ones that use xt1922-3 in the aljeter. What is your software channel? Retpac or what?
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] kop524:
RETEU is my SW channel
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
As long as you're using the right firmware and everything is working you should be fine. just follow the guide as is.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] AlvaroRockster:
Need XT1922-4 image

Hello. I see the XT1922-4 Model ROM has been taken away, I would like to knw if someone can give a mirror to the .img, right now my phone doesnt have any img in it, or if there is any alternative.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
Sw update channel?
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
Well as op I feel like I should say it lol. I can confirm myself this root method does indeed still work for the pie update (Android 9) i will be updating the guide to include what will be needed to be done as there are a couple ways to stop force encryption and all that now.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Kuntitled:
Thanks, OP!

I'll have to redo some of the process, as i need to disable encryption on mine. But everything's working smoothly
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
Also [MENTION=9758590]Kuntitled[/MENTION] you mind telling me your model number and all that. Is it a Jeter or Aljeter device?
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Kuntitled:
Will doing this through my already installed Magisk have me factory reset my device?

I'm on Aljeter, XT1922-5 retbr Running Pie

Edit: i've been rooted since Pie came out here in Brazil, which i was in early march, iirc. I already have many magisk modules installed and i'm assuming doing this would break them, wouldn't it?
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
No if you do it through magisk all it's gonna do it's detect the boot image and do what it needs to patch to decrypt. In advanced setting in magisk uncheck the boxes then touch install and it should pop up with an option that says recommended. I have magisk hidden for Pokemon go and my banking app so I don't have the install option atm lol as for the modules that I'm not sure. You might have to reinstall them. I can't give a solid answer for that because I usually make sure I'm decrypted fully before doing anything with modules or even installing from play store
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Kuntitled:
I just did that and i think it didn't work. It installed successfully, but i still can't get past the decrytion on TWRP.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
If it's not working then you will have to reflash new firmware. After flashing firmware go download the universal dm-verity/ force encryption disabler. Flash the disabler first then flash magisk and you should be gucci my guy. Once again sorry for poor typing. I'm at work lol. If you wanna wait till I update the guide to include the disabler you can. Just search universal force encryption disabler and just make sure it's within an xda link.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Kuntitled:
dang. That i'm assuming will require a factory reset. I'll have to wait on it til i'm done with this semester of work and university. Thanks, OP!
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
Yeah I mean if you have root access and magisk is working with encryption enabled you should be fine lol. I feel you on the work and uni man lol like I said the guide will be updated around 6pm u.s time to include the extra needed stuff lol.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
Those are just the steps to remove forced encryption from the boot image. You still have to format data to actually get rid of currently encrypted data.

TWRP cannot read encrypted data right now for this device. You have to unencrypt your data, which of course means wiping your device with a format
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
well the guide is now updated to include aljeter an jeter, better explanations as well the decrypt process and broken down in different sections. if there is anything else you think i need to include or simplify please lmk lol i also included that aljeter owners should start writing there sw channel versions down to help us out lol
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
also [MENTION=5752019]madbat99[/MENTION] do you still have dev telegram going? I have a friend that said he is willing to make us twrps that will decrypt. He's gonna be needing another person or two to test out the 16gb and 32gb versions. I'll be one ofthe people for the 16gb models. also is there devices trees yet? hes also willing to try to start on device trees if needed.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
There is a g6 play telegram group. It's not mine. I'll grab a link

Moto G6 Play Jeter/Aljeter Development & OT

Moto G6 Play development group, and off-topic is allowed. Please be respectful towards one another. And no oppression of other's voices, please.

https://t.me/JeterDevOT
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
Thank you kinda sir ? hopefully this is beginning of something good lol he started decompiling the current twrps last night after I told him how they came to be lol I'll give him the link
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Sands207:
Could someone tell me what files are needed to make a device tree for jeter?
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
Get telegram to join the Dev chat.....
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
Files? Trees for every other device with the same chipset. Then trial and error until you discover the tree. Or even common tree.

Coding experience is also needed.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Sands207:
I have coding experience as well as ROM building experience. I'd like to learn more about developing for this device. I'll join the dev chat on telegram this evening when i get home from work. I appreciate the invite ?
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
Cool. There are some guys there (and girls) that would truly appreciate the added power.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
May I ask as to why your trying to relock the bootloader in the first place. If it's to send off to Moto or a service center they will know of you have had it bootloader unlocked no matter what. Tbh it's kinda pointless to attempt relocking a bootloader because once you have requested and used the unlock key for your device it voids the warranty. And tbh if your trying to sell it to someone else you could just flash a boot logo that won't show they bad key in the top corner. If you you look on the themes and mods section there's a thread with boot logo stuff. Just can't say if they will work because I haven't tried to use em lol
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] AcTSkull:
I was just curious about that xD

I was trying to help a friend, he didn't wanted to have this bad key sign shown everytime he rebooted the device. And as always, he wanted to send it to a service center, even if I said not to.

Anyway, thanks for the help! Will change his logo soon.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
i mean like i said if hes trying to send it to a service center then even flashing a new boot logo wont work. the warranty was void the second he used the unlock key. if anything moto will charge him to just replace the device. out here in usa its 129.99 usd plus shipping.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] blowingoff:
actualy i'm even using xposed and everything is smoothest. i'd like custom roms hahahha
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Xplorer4x4:
I was reading your guide and it seems a few things could be changed to be more user-friendly. Keep in mind the average users is probably not comfortable with a command line so the more it is avoided the better!

First, we already have a guide for flashing stock. why not link to it rather than clogging the OP with too much information. It includes a bat file in the firmware download(I believe) so users only have to run one single command from the terminal to flash stock. Plus listing it as a step may cause confusion because people like to skim over directions without reading closely. If you want to include it make it good and clear this is only needed in case your device has an issue.

Secondly, why a factory reset?

Third, why are you mounting vendor? TWRP nor Magisk alter vendor so you shouldn't need it.

Fourth, why are you pushing magisk to temp with adb? Download the zip from xda, plug the phone into a pc and transfer it to sdcard with MTP.

Now I am not extremely familiar with the G6 Play since I do not have it but this seems like a lot of extra steps and confusion for no reason. If you have TWRP all you should have to do is boot TWRP and flash Magisk and be done. You shouldn't, generally speaking, need to factory reset and lose all your apps and data. This method will save users time, confusion, and the chance of something going wrong.

Wether right or wrong, I hope you keep up the good work!
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
I personally do not trust bat files for this model. There's less chance of user error if the user can see what command there using at least in my own experience. And tbh for the rest I do not know myself it's just the only way I've been able to actually get it fully functioning with force encyption off. through my own errors I learned skipping a couple things will not turn off force encyption and will eventually cause the phone to randomly reboot and start the encryption process. Factory reset is again for less chance of user error. If they already have tried and failed because of the previous guide its my way of assuring there at a clean fresh start to use my guide. The reason it's being pushed to the tmp folder is because of the factory reset. magisk is what patches our boot.img and since the factory reset would delete the file it's easier to just push it to the tmp folder after doing everything else so that way you can install it from twrp. And I've told the people to backup there data because there gonna be resetting there phone. Weather they choose to listen to that advice is on them. And I understand the whole being user friendly and I tired to do that and even include extra bits of warnings and I think my guide is way simpler compared to the other guide. At least my guide has actually been helping the users that messed up on the previous guide. But I'm starting to see more successful roots with my guide being used so I don't want to link the old guide because it's causing problems and I literally made this guide as a fix/ clean up to the original along with newer info about the device like the old guide still relies on a patched boot.img which we don't need because magisk does it for us. Hence way I gave the credits where due for the original guide. If I figure out a way to make this guide even simpler then I'll edit it to do just that. And I put multiple times please read whole guide and follow it so if a user thinks they know everything because they rooted one whole phone like last year then that's on them and there ego to take the time to listen to use lol sorry if I sound like I'm throwing attitude lol I'm not text just makes me sounds way more like a douche than what I really am ?
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] wooderson-11:
The stock instructions

They are spot on for the Boost Mobile variant of the G6 play. I was stuck in a boot loop due to a simple mistake i made with no backup of my stock rom. Phones been toast for 24 hours and you just saved me!
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] wooderson-11:
also

After fixing the lacking OS, I followed each step and the root went near flawlessly. I had to call the ##72786# on my phone to reset the phones activation. Thank you again!
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Xplorer4x4:
Glad his guide helped you. Now you might want to get familiar with the rules here at XDA. In particular double posting. There is an edit button for a reason.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
I'm glad I could assist you. I will say this if your on the new update I can't confirm if this works still. If you did do this on the new update and it still works please lmk it would be appreciated.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Starkiller2:
I reflashed OCP27.91-23/3 (not flashing gpt.bin, bootloader, etc) over the newest update, completely knocked out the radios, no service, couldn't even access the settings. there's a different baseband in the 27.91-150 update. I took the update again and got service back
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
Have you managed to get root on the new update then?
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Starkiller2:
Yes sir, using the previously posted twrp, universal disabler, and magisk 17.2.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
Well that's just great news hell yeah lol. And do you mean the dm verity disabler? Because you shouldn't even need that anymore just long as your using the latest magisk.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Starkiller2:
Yeah, the dm verity/ force encryption disabler, I just wanted force encryption off and its always worked for me. Kind of a habit now
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
o that's fine lol as Iong as the guide itself still applies to the new update that makes me happy knowing that lol so I'm glad my guide was not only able to help you recover your phone but also root it. That's the whole reason I made it lol
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Starkiller2:
You are right about the bat files, for me anyway, if I can't see what's happening, I always screw it up somehow. Part of why I use the disabler. Lol. I can see the scripts. Like goosing a throttle body
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
So since your one the new update does it seem the screen lag has been fixed at all? Since you got the device lol unless I'm just the only one with a screen lag issue ?
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Starkiller2:
I will say, take a system image backup at the very least from twrp, since the updated firmware isn't anywhere that I can find yet.

---------- Post added at 11:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------

Yes, the issues with it not responding or responding slowly seem to be gone as far as I can tell. Even with all my crap installed. I haven't had anymore issues. I thought I was a ghost for a while there since it wouldn't respond to touch.

My son has the same phone and he was having issues as well.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
Heck yes that's awesome to know. And I planned on it lol mirrors.lolinet should have it up in couple weeks if anything
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Starkiller2:
Good to know. Makes me nervous not having the fallback, I panicked so hard when my service went out, having turned my e5 play into a WiFi only device awhile back. I prayed so hard taking that update. Freaked the whole house out yelling when I got it back

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 AM ----------

Thanks again, you and kwiksi1ver(?) Everybody learns differently. And some people learn the hard way, like me. I gotta touch the wet paint. Gotta see how everything works so both guides are helpful. Thanks for all the hard work
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Dauntix:
I'm currently rooted on stock rom. If I updated my phone, will it still be rooted? If not, do I take the same exact steps to root it again (on the latest update)?
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] drgsrbad81:
At risk of sounding dumb

First off, I want to kudos to ninjakira for making this post and for helping everyone with a problem in this and the original G6 forum.. that being said, I read both posts in there entirety and I want to make sure I got this crystal clear, before I end up here asking ninjakira for help with a bootloop lol.. Now I have the boost Mobile g6 play and it already has the October 1st security update... As long as I follow the instructions to the letter, I should have no issues obtaining root... Is this true and accurate? It's been a while since I have been able to root a phone because I kept buying phones that I couldn't unlock the bootloader..
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
Hey sorry for not responding or being on the forum lately been work moved me from 3rd shift to 1st shift so my sleep has been way out of wack. Yes if you follow the instructions you will be able to obtain root. The latest magisk beta is 17.3. word of caution. There is no stock firmware uploaded for the October update yet so if you do get a bootloop you will be stuck until it gets uploaded
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] krltz2:
works with this patch??? OPP 27.91-140:confused:
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
Yes it should work. But be warned there is no stock firmware uploaded with that security patch so if you get Ina bootloop you will be stuck until it does get uploaded. Just follow the instructions and you should still be able to get root status.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] krltz2:
Doesnt Work :I
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
What exactly doesn't work? You can't unlock the bootloader? Magisk? Because it works for others on 27.91 150 you should provide details.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] krltz2:
At the moment of installing the twrp after following all the steps it remains in N / A
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
Saying na is normal. It sounds like you have missed some steps. So you have wipe data and Flash magisk in TWRP? Or are you just trying to boot the system without doing any of the other steps?
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] krltz2:
It stays stuck in N / A does not start anything, before installing the magisk I made wipe then install the Magisk I think it stays in N / A since my rom.es OPP 27.91-140 ..... you have the same rom Did you run the root and the twrp ??:confused:
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
It sounds like you have put yourself into a bootloop somehow which I honestly don't see how. But There is currently no firmware uploaded for the security patch that your on yet. Until one gets uploaded your stuck with a bricked device
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
Restore the backup you made of boot.img wipe data and then try again
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Swift2603:
My phone (XT1922-3) offers an update to OPP27.91-143, but it doesn't install. The update process just doesn't start, when I click on install.

I reverted back to stock boot.img (OPP21.91-87) and stock recovery beforehand, but when I try to update via sideload the process gets canceled at some point with Error in sideload/package status:0

Any idea how to solve this?
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
You're not going to be able to sideload it without adb. As for the failure when trying to install it normally did you make any changes to your system while you had root?just like everyone else you're going to have to reflash the full stock firmware to apply the update most likely
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
Gonna have to reflash the firmware your currently on reboot the phone then take the update.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] krltz2:

[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjakira:
Your just not doing anything right it's like your not following the guide. AFTER flashing twrp you have to go to the recovery option in the bootloader and go into twrp and do everything else you have to go to your /tmp folder in twrp and install magisk....
