I have a VZW XT1922-6 which from reading this thread I assumed I could not root. But I have a question still because after entering the unlock code for my phone I have a toggle switch for the option to allow bootloader unlock.(I don't know if I had this switch before entering the code as I did not look) Does this mean I DO have the option to unlock my bootloader and root my phone, or does the fact that I unlocked it and have this option mean nothing at all and it's still a no-go for me on the root thing?

Can anyone confirm?

Can anyone confirm if this works for XT1922-9 USRET 32GB Android 9 (pie)
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Spaceminer:
Some changes were made to recovery in later versions of Pie. Try using my newer one in this post.

Yes, without a doubt. If you have a touch problem, then try the newer one found here. If for some crazy reason that one also has a touch problem, let me know and I'll get off my a** and fix that ASAP.

Hi, just wanted to add that I have the same model XT1922-2 32GB, which was on latest OTA update from October or so. The latest version of the encrypt disable and Magisk 20.1 both had issues where I got a black screen with either Bad Key or an alphanumeric code repeatedly and no boot. (Tried both separately and both caused same issue)

If anyone comes across this black screen loop you can recover quickly by flashing back stock boot.img in fastboot.

I used the versions you suggested and it worked fine. Have been able to update Magisk to latest 20.1 from the Magisk Manager.

Thanks!

Hey I followed this guide but after I did everything as said there instead of system I'm getting black screen with serial key or something instead of 'bad key' thing and it is like I'm in bootloop but will wait.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] alf-xda:
It worked also for "xt1922-2 16GB P4" with the old files Magisk-v19.1 and Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_05.21.2019 , as posted by the other guys! Thank you!!! With the lastest versions it didn't work, i got a black screen with "N/A" on the left corner, and not booting at all too. And I have a question i couldn't find the ROM for this device sprint version in the mirrors.lolinet.com . Does anyone know where i can find it? Thank you.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] dotKin:
I'm really confused about what could mess up my encryption since if I flash the force-encrypt disabler zip that I always flash, it will finish without errors, but when it's booting it will encrypt data again. Happens with Oreo, Pie and Android 10, also the zip I'm using is from June or so, tried some other zips from different pages and even the ones that some users attached in this thread, buuuut, the same result. What's going on... any idea? I'm already out of ideas

Sorry if there are English mistakes heh
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Spaceminer:
From TWRP, format data using the type "yes" to continue method. Then reboot from TWRP, back into TWRP using the menus. If this part isn't done first then TWRP can't modify system files properly.

After that mount, /data, /vendor, /system, then flash the disabler. From there remount /system and flash magisk if you want it, and reboot. Once encryption is disabled it will stay disabled until you flash your stock vendor.img again. So you won't need to flash the disabler anymore when testing GSI's.

If it still isn't disabled after that...

Double check that you're using the 5/21/19 disabler. And Magisk 19.3. If that checks out, then try using the newer TWRP a few pages back. I'll find it for you if need be.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] dotKin:

updated guide

I am planning to buy the motorola g6 play and i need root, so i really appreciate the guide will be updated.

Further on, the link you provided to download magisk beta, i read:

Android Version Support

Android 4.2+: MagiskSU and Magisk Modules Only (*1)

Android 4.4+: All features available (*2)

Android 6.0+: MagiskHide guaranteed support (*3)

Android 7.0+: MagiskHide full protection

Android 9.0+: Magisk Manager full hide capability

It doesnt say anything about android 8.0. So android 8.0 is not supported by magisk beta?

The motorola g6 play i want to buy has oreo 8.0 installed.

Hi bro, I have Moto G6 Play XT-1922-4 Codename: aljeter (amxla - amxpe = Claro Perú) with Pie: PPPS29.55-35-12-5 (Patch October 2019) and both TWRP don't work touch :( could help me to solve it??? :confused:
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Spaceminer:
Send me your current stock recovery and I can probably fix it in like 15min. It's probably just because it's based on the Jeter and Motorola did a lot of weird things with the G6 series.

file not found error for the encryption disabler and magisk?

Hi, I know this is an old thread but hoping to find some info. I have sucessfully unlocked the bootloader of my moto g6 play xt 1925-7. however when i get to the part to flash the dm verity and the magisk files, it says the files do not exist. Any help would be greatly appriciated. Ive been trying for three days. I updated to pie a couple weeks ago and hate it. I want to go back to oreo, or a custom rom. Thanks
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Spaceminer:
You need to copy the zips to your phone and flash them. Preferably from an external sd card. If you dont have an external sd card, then copy the zips to your internal storage after formatting and rebooting into twrp.

---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------

If it isnt a Verizon or AT&T branded xt1922-9, then yes it'll work. And yes it also works on Pie.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] GT72:
push requires an argument?

I tried the new dm verity and now says push requires an argument? Also I do have an external sd card. Im sorry if this sounds stupid , but how do i go about copying the zips to my phone? I feel like im close. Should I have my sd card formatted as internal storage? Also when copying the files to the sd card do i insert the card into my laptop? , or keep it in the phone?
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Spaceminer:
Use a usb cable to copy them from your PC to your phone, or download them with your phone and move them to your external sdcard before starting the process. Your external storage won't get wiped. Are you having trouble with the stock file manager by chance, or XDA itself? If you can be just a little more specific, then I'm sure I can help you out.

Edit: If you just need to move them from your pc...

Flash twrp, do the format yes thing, and reboot directly back into twrp. Swipe to allow modifications if needed, then go to mount and select your external sdcard and /data, and then your pc will be able to see your phone like it normally would. Drag and drop.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] GT72:
Ok , So I get to the point of flashing the dm verity and magisk, and it was saying the files do not exist. I have them downloaded in the adb fastboot folder. I was not aware that they also have to be downloaded on the sd card as well? I apologise as Im a Newbie at rooting. This is my first attempt. Thank you so much for your help. Ill try copying them to the sd card. Does the twrp file also have to be on the sd card?

---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

Can I copy the files while in twrp recovery or do i have to reboot? Cuz then i have to go through the whole setup of my phone before i can use it

---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------

---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------

Also while in the mount menu of twrp should i check the box that says mount system partition read only? Also there is the enable or disable MTP?
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Spaceminer:
I see what happened, you're just mixing methods.

The hard way...

You can either put the zips in the adb folder, then run, adb push zip-name-goes-here.zip /tmp, followed by, chmod 0644 /tmp/zip-name-you-just-pushed.zip, then flash it from twrp. Or...

The easy way...

Copy zips to external sd. Flash twrp with fastboot, do format "yes" in twrp, reboot using the menus in twrp right back into recovery. When twrp boots up again mount /data, /vendor, and your external sdcard from twrp's menus. Then back up and hit install, select the storage location you copied it to (external), then install the zip with twrp.

The format yes part, might wipe your external sdcard since its adoptable. If it does, you'll need to re-copy the zips from your pc to your sdcard after the format and reboot from twrp, back into twrp. I recommend using an sdcard formatted as external for this. Once you get encryption disabled, you could use adoptable storage with twrp all day long and you wont have an issue.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] GT72:
Ok so I just went back and tried to run the dm verity in fastboot again and its saying "push requires an argument.

---------- Post added at 11:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 PM ----------

OK, so how to go about getting these files on to the sd card? After I download them onto my laptop Do I extract to the sd card, wich Im not seeing while in twrp? Or just simply drag them from the adb fastboot folder . I do see a folder that says android. Is that the external sd?
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Spaceminer:
Yes, "android" should be it. Yes, just drag and drop the zips like you would any other file. Don't extract them. Twrp will do that when it flashes them.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] GT72:
OK, so I dragged them to the android folder on my pc. I just went on my phone wich is still in twrp recovery and i touched install and external sd and the android folder is there, but its greyed out . I dont see the dm verity or the magisk file. Another question. When in the mount menu I checked system, data, vendor, and micro sd. Theres also a box that says mount system partition read-only. Do I check that? Also it has the button to enable or disable mtp. Wich of those do I choose? I greatly appriciate your time man. Thank You!
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Spaceminer:
You dont need to worry about the mtp button. The "mount system read only" box should never be checked, that prevents you from flashing files properly. If it's greyed out, it means twrp cant read it because its encrypted, it also means your pc cant read it or put files on it. Since its part of your external sdcard when its adopted, you'll either have to use the hard method, or use an sdcard formatted as portable storage.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] GT72:
Ok I touched reboot - system and now Im stuck in a boot loop. bad key black screen. I was gonna format the sd card to portable storage and download the files to the sd card. I dont know what to do now?
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Spaceminer:
Hold vol down + the power button until you see the fastboot screen. Then enter the following command

fastboot erase userdata

Then,

fastboot erase cache

Followed by,

fastboot erase DDR

Then reflash twrp to your recovery partition, and use the volume keys to boot up twrp.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] GT72:
ok I followed those steps and with the last command it automatically booted to twrp. Should I now reboot my phone to system to change the sd card format and download the files or should I try to do this from here?
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Spaceminer:
I'd get booted up and do it from your system settings the normal way. You can do it from twrp but it'd be really easy to screw something up. If you start looping, then get into fastboot and use those commands. Twrp can also reboot into fastboot from the menus if you get stuck there again.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] GT72:
ok Im able to boot back into twrp but when I try to reboot my phone it goes back into the bootloop. Is there smtg Im supposed to install first? So if I understand you correctly You say its best to boot my phone up and reformat the sd card then dowload the files directly from my phone to the sd card? At what point should i restart this whole process?

---------- Post added at 01:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 AM ----------

It says no operating system installed, what should I do? Im sorry for all this. If I can just get it back to oreo at this point Id be happy. Id really like it to be rooted tho...
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Spaceminer:
It sounds like you wiped your /system partition, you'll have to reflash your stock firmware from fastboot. The other option is, I can send a back up that you can restore from twrp. It'll be rooted, debloated and have the Oreo launcher, so no sideways cards for recents.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] GT72:
Really! Man if you could do that It'd be great! If you could tell me how to do it Id be in your debt. dont know what " no sideways cards for recents means tho...
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Spaceminer:
That stupid hard to use recents menu that pie comes with. Hold on, I'll start up loading stuff in a few. Make sure your pc can see your internal storage while twrp is running. If it cant, remove the sdcard and format data with the type yes method. Then reboot from twrp back into twrp.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] GT72:
i currently have the sd card in my laptop. Should I put it back in the phone? I was gonna try to load the stock os on it before I heard back from u. But I really dont know what im doing. It was suggested when i googled no os in twrp. But Id much rather have my phone rooted with oreo. I hated the pie update.

[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Spaceminer:
Put everything in one folder on your device and twrp should be able to see it. Restore everything, system, vendor, boot, oem. Reboot. You might need to uninstall and reinstall viper4android if you want to get it working. If magisk is not installed when you boot up, flash version 19.3. You don't need to flash any zips otherwise. Encryption is already disabled.

[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] RootIsAmust:
Well I did it and now it's showing numbers at the top of the screen and continuing flashing black screen. I did everything as followed except I had to rename the Magisk file v20.3 to v20.0 since that what the guide had also with the disable_dm version I had change it. I don't know if that could have something to do with it but I don't see how, because everything went through when I made the edits according to the guide. I was able to get my device to boot back up following the guide if something went wrong...you sure I'm able to root this device? And yes it's the Motorola unbranded version of the XT1922-9 also unlocked as well as the bootloader.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] GT72:
Ok, so I downloaded everything into one folder on my sd card, did the wipe format yes, booted back into twrp , went to recovery restored everything, then rebooted to system. Its now stuck in a boot loop on the hello moto screen. I rebooted to twrp and did a wipe and format again and tried to install the zip and it says zip format not supported?
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Starkiller2:
Try an older version of magisk. 19.3 works great. Same with decrypter. Although I've seen some issues decrypting. Also it isn't strictly necessary to decrypt. You just won't be able to back up data. Also, don't rename the file, actually use the v20.0 rather than v20.3.

Try this one though.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] GT72:
Okay, so I did another wipe format, restored the files again and booted to system and it seems to have worked! My phone booted to the setup screen, and I connected to wifi, although it wouldnt show my main network for some reason, and now its checking for updates. Its been a few minutes now and Im getting worried, lol. Im looking forward to having the oreo vol slider back!

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 AM ----------

Ok so i skipped the wifi part for now and the phone booted up , but it has the pie volume slider. I thought this was oreo? Its the main reason I didnt like pie. Is there a way to change the volume slider so the system vol is the default?

Also it wont detect my wifi network. There is another network here that a guy uses for his house arrest braclet that I connected to but it was stuck checking for updates. The network is showing up on my pc tho. So have you heard of this wifi problem before?

---------- Post added at 10:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 AM ----------

Yeah, it says version 9 in my settings. Also there is no google app or search or play store app to download it. Magisk and Viper4Android are not on there either. But the main thing is that it wont detect my wifi network. I dont think the phone is rooted either, but it is decrypted.

Update: So I flashed gapps and magisk . gapps worked fine but magisk didnt install. I downloaded the majisk manager from the play store. I just used root check and it says the phone is not properly rooted.

So theses are the problems now: Cannot detect my wifi, cannot install majisk , phone not rooted. I really wanted oreo. Maybe i should start from scratch?

[MENTION=10531099]GT72[/MENTION]

I did warn you that it's debloated... I don't like Pie either, but that's what I run because Oreo is filled with bugs. The Google app is present, it's just disabled. (Removing it will break the OS.) Flash Magisk 19.3 for root. The wifi problem, you probably just need to reset your network settings or forget the current wifi networks. We have the exact same device model, so it should be working. Viper you'll have to reinstall because the app sits in the /data partition.
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] GT72:
Aside from the wifi, wich works on my other network anyway, I just flashed magisk for the 3rd time and it says sucessfull, but its no where to be found on my phone?

Is it worth paying for 1 click root? It probably wont solve my problem of not being able to install magisk tho.

I tried to revert back to oreo too and it says the file type is not supported or smtg like that. If I cant root it and cant go back to oreo, I guess Im screwed. I really dont want pie, thats why I started this whole process. Can I pay u to do this: Root with oreo os and magisk?
[Moto G6 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Spaceminer:
If you used Magisk version 19.3 and it's not showing up, manually install the app. It should be inside the "common" folder of the magisk zip.

I'm not trying to sound harsh, but you really jumped into something that you are not ready for. You should've made yourself familiar with adb/fastboot commands, the risks of rooting, how to flash your stock firmware, and even some more basic things that I am quite surprised to see that you weren't familiar with, like file transfers to your device. Myself and others here have bent over backwards trying to get you back to normal, but the reality is, none of this should be this difficult, or require this much explanation. Please do some research on the topics I mentioned, then come back if you're still having trouble. I hope you get the help you need but I can't spend anymore time on this.
