The steps listed in this process WILL wipe your userdata. If you have anything you need to save back it up first.

Prerequisite:

Unlocked bootloader.

FOR LINUX USERS. If you're using a linux distro then congrats this is all you should have to run. open command prompt and run this. "sudo apt-get install adb" without quotation marks. then follow Motorolas bootloader guide in provided link. continue to step 1 after.

FOR WINDOWS USERS.

ADB/Fastboot installed on your machine ( https://developer.android.com/studio...platform-tools ) If you have issues with commands make sure you have a current build of ADB and fastboot.

Minimal adb/fastboot v1.4.3 installer can be found here. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569952951

DECRYPTION AND BACKUP.

NOTICE

IF YOU YOU ARE USING THE 32GB MODEL OR THE 16GB MODEL AND ARE ON ANDROID 9 (PIE) PLEASE USE THE ANDROID 9 (PIE) MODEL TWRP. USERS WITH THE 16GB MODEL AND THE 32GB MODEL ON ANDROID 8 (OREO) WILL STILL NEED TO USE SEPERATE TWRPS

MAKE SURE TO SWIPE RIGHT IN TWRP TO ALLOW SYSTEM MODIFICATIONS.

Step 1.) Download and extract twrp image to the ADB/Fastboot folder on your computer.

FOR ANDROID 8 (OREO)

16gb model twrp: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117921836

32gb model twrp: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117927211

FOR ANDROID 9 (PIE)

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117921849

Step 2.) Reboot to your bootloader. You can do this by turning on your device and holding the power button and volume down button at the same time.

Step 3.) Once the device reboots to the bootloader type the following from your computer with your phone connected via USB.

Code:

fastboot boot twrp.img

Step 4.) Once TWRP boots from your computer type (it may take a bit to boot because it is trying to decrypt your userdata, but it will fail and prompt for a password. Just click cancel)

Step 5.) time to backup your stock recovery and stock boot. use these commands one at a time.

Code:

adb pull /dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/boot stockboot.img

adb pull /dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/recovery stockrecovery.img

This will backup your stock boot and recovery images if you need to revert to stock later.

Step 6.) time to decrypt which will also format your data so make sure to make a backup. while still booted in twrp touch the "wipe" button then touch "format data", type yes and after its all done reboot to bootloader use this command.

Code:

adb reboot bootloader

CONGRATS! if you read this correctly and or didnt skim then you have successfully decrypted your device and backed up your stock recovery and stock boot.img. proceed below for root process.

ROOT PROCESS.

Step 1.) Run the following command from your computer to install the TWRP image to your device.

Code:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Step 2.) Use the volume keys on the device to select boot to recovery and TWRP will boot up again. swipe right to allow modifications. IT SHOULD NOT ASK YOU FOR A PASSWORD THIS TIME IF IT DOES YOU MESSED UP DURING THE DECRYPT PROCESS

Step 3.) Follow this link to the creators site to download the disabler zip. https://zackptg5.com/android.php#disverfe download it to your ADB/Fastboot folder.

Step 4.) Download the Magisk Beta v20.0 and or the latest zip file from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases to your ADB/Fastboot folder. (I personally use beta so I use beta in this guide but you don't have to)

Step 5.) Run the following command to push the dm_verity force encrypt disabler and magisk zip to your device

Code:

adb push Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_11.02.2020.zip /tmp

adb push Magisk-v20.0.zip /tmp

This will push the Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_11.02.2020.zip and Magisk-v20.0.zip to your /tmp folder

Step 6.) Flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_11.02.2020.zip from TWRP using the install option and navigate to the /tmp folder to select it and install it.

Step 7.) Flash Magisk-v20.0.zip from TWRP using the install option and navigate to the /tmp folder to select it and install it.

Step 8.) Reboot your device

Step 9.) Just wait for the device to boot up. might take a bit and it might seem its in a bootloop but if you followed this guide exactly as is just wait it out it took about 5-10 minutes before i got to the "lets get started" screen after updating to pie (android 9)

Step 10.) Verify Magisk Manager is installed and the root functionality works. sometimes the manager apk wont be installed so download the magisk manager apk from the provide links. click advanced to see if the boxes are unchecked. (2022 edit) If you see magisk app and magisk needs updated you can do it but I can't confirm if it's safe and what works and doesnt after

CONGRATS! IF YOU DIDNT SKIM MY GUIDE YOU SHOULD HAVE A SUCCESSFULLY ROOTED AND ENCRYPTION DISABLED DEVICE, HAVE FUN.

IF YOU MESSED UP, DIDNT PUT A COMMAND IN CORRECTLY, SKIMMED, OR ARE INA GENUINE BOOTLOOP/BRICK THIS SECTION IS FOR YOU

Step 1.) DOWNLOAD STOCK FIRMWARE HERE FOR JETER AND CERTAIN ALJETER DEVICES (from what i can tell usa variant aljeter devices are consided jeter) https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/jeter/official/ IF YOU REMEMBER OR WROTE DOWN YOUR SW CHANNEL VERSION THEN DOWNLOAD STOCK FIRMWARE FOR BASICALLY EVERY OTHER ALJETER DEVICE HERE. https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/aljeter/official/ UNZIP STOCK FIRMWARE TO YOUR ADB/FASTBOOT FOLDER TO FLASH IT. TO REVERT BACK TO STOCK YOU HAVE TO REFLASH STOCK FIRMWARE FROM THE BOOTLOADER if your device is bootlooped or bricked or not working right you have to reflash the stock firmware your device came with. PLEASE INPUT THESE COMMANDS ONE AT A TIME DO NOT DO THEM ALL AT ONCE. I KNOW ITS A HASSLE BUT IT GUARANTEES A SUCCESSFUL REFLASH. I CANNOT EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH

QUICK NOTE/EDIT: SINCE I DO NOT OWN THIS DEVICE ANYMORE I CANNOT CONFIRM IT BUT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO UPDATE TO THE LATEST MAGISK 24.3 FROM THE MAGISK APP AFTER YOU INSTALL V20, AGAIN I AM NOT ABLE CONFIRM IF IT WORKS, CAUSES BOOTLOOPS, OR ANYTHING SO KEEP THAT IN MIND, but hopefully it does work for yall 🥰 I've also updated the ADB commands for the disabler to reflect its latest version and I've updated the magisk link to topjohnwus GitHub as that's where all updates happen/ go first
