Side loading

Not sure what side loading is but I did patch the boot file with Magisk manager, put it on my PC and fastbooted it to my phone with no results. The ROM for the G7 Play is different than older androids. I tried to create a makeshift recovery for it but my ROM does not have a recovery.img or other older android ROM files for that matter. I will have to wait for some kind of workaround for magisk or someone takes on the challenge to create a recovery for the different file system. I installed a recovery for my Moto G4 plus and rooted no problem. I should have researched more before I purchased the G7 Play and unlocked the bootloader so now I am at the mercy of development.

Thanks for your reply.

Nothing

I tried rooting the phone with the Magisk... Nothing.

I tried to relock the bootloader... Nothing.

What works on the other Moto G7s does not work on our G7 Play.
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] realsine:
Hello,

relocking Moto G7 play:

* first reflash the 'boot.img' from the correct firmware file - 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' (in the Internet there are official images to the smartphone)

* then you can lock the bootloader again with 'fastboot oem lock'.

"bad key" is gone, SafetyNet test passed and OTA is working again.

Best regards
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] Marcondes BR:
Do you have a g7 play and did that? So show us because I could not.

When you use this command an error occurs because the "oem unlocking" option is not checked. And it is not checked because the system disables this option after we unlock the bootloader.

So, unless there is another way to check this option, it's not possible to relock the bootloader. That's what I think.
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] realsine:
Yes, I have a Motorola Moto g7 play.

When I open the bootloader, I can't close it immediately. I get a "bad key" (or something like that). I have to flash the matching original boot.img first.

So in the bootloader:

* fastboot flash boot boot.img

And if that was successful, then afterwards (without restart)

* fastboot oem lock

Possibly the last command must be entered a second time, but this will be output when

If the command works, then the smartphone boots automatically at this point and the bootloader is closed again.

I assume that you have the correct boot.img and must flash.

I have performed this procedure several times successfully.

Information: at every LOCK and at every UNLOCK the data is reset (Factory reset?).
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] jwreidmoto:
relock bootloader confirm

I can confirm this does work. I just relocked and unlocked my bootloader with those instructions. Again if anybody has successfully rooted this phone I would love to know.
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] thetesterman:
Any update on this ? I would love to buy this phone but not till I know for sure that it can be rooted.. Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated !!
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
This device is definitely rootable -- there is no doubt as to proof of concept. It's just a matter of a viable root method being ironed out. The developer of Magisk (topjohnwu) has stated that the current difficulty with installing systemless root on the Moto G7 Play (via patched boot image) is due to the particular A/B partition index of the device. He is actually working on a universal resolution now. It also appears that TWRP custom recovery is being compiled by the guys over at TeamWin, not to mention unofficial builds being compiled by other dedicated devs (which will likely come first). I went ahead and bought a G7 Play and am just patiently waiting for the imminent resolution for root, TWRP, and hopefully, full-on ROM development. In other words, it's not a matter of if; it's just a matter of when.
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] avf90m:
I expect the devs to release an unofficial version of twrp soon for g7 play. I already tried the same thing with patching my boot img and flashing in fastboot but still no dice. Just bought the the phone so I hope it gets released soon so we can finally root!
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Amen to that. :)
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] LexusBrian400:
Root is all that this phone needs. It's amazing. I'm so happy with it. I can't believe what you get for the price. Why would you buy anything else? ;)
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] ninjakira:
If someone can confirm the current root method for the g6 play could work with the g7 play id happily make a guide for y'all at least. If assuming this device also auto encrypts. Try just booting twrp first, press cancel, swipe right to allow system modifications, go to wipe, push the format button next to the advanced wipe button, type yes, go back into bootloader and flash twrp and internal storage should be readable from there adb push the encryption disabler then magisk. And just in case someone here trys to use the twrp for the g6 play I'm feeling you now it won't work in case that needs to be said. Try using magisk beta also if stable doesn't work I noticed we had to use beta for a little bit before we could use stable
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] thetesterman:
Couldn't agree more, fantastic phone ( wish it had wireless charging though ) and all I need is root.
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
The G6 Play root method will not work on the G7 Play. The G7 Play uses the A/B partition index. There are currently a few developers ironing out a viable root method and also working on a stable TWRP build. Many Moto G7 Play owners have hard bricked their devices by trying root strategies intended for devices with standard GPT partition tables.
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I only recently bought my G7 Play and I am curious as to whether my firmware version is all the way up to date. I have the Boost Mobile variant (xt1952-4) and I'm on the PCY29.105-59 firmware build with a March 1, 2019 security patch level. According to my System Update check in Settings, this is the current build. However, it would seem that with a device so recently manufactured, there would be a more current firmware version available. Are there any Sprint, Virgin, or Boost variant owners who can clarify this? And I apologize if this is off topic.
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] GatoDeNieve:
I'm on OPENMX channel and there is currently a June 1st update waiting to be installed. I'm reluctant to install it because I don't know if it will interfere with the root process down the line.
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Ok thanks for the info. I would guess an OTA update for my variant is imminent within the next couple of weeks at least.

Motorola is not in the practice of patching root exploits via OTA updates. The company actually supports both OEM Unlocking and Android development. I don't think you would have any future issues with root by installing your pending OTA. But at the same time I don't blame you for holding off. When in doubt, don't update. Again, I do thank you for the info.
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
The xt1952-4 (Sprint, Boost, Virgin) variant is rolling out with PCY29.105-134 with June 1 security patches. I just got notification about ten minutes ago.
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] avf90m:
Anyway to pull the file update from the phone to the computer?
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Probably so. Even without root, I should be able to access the OTA storage location. I'm assuming it is in /cache but I'll have to check.
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] avf90m:
Of so please upload and share the file! Needing to cross-check the firmware plz.
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I need some info. The G7 Play doesn't appear to store OTA packages in the standard Moto location. Perhaps this is due to the A/B partition table; I'm not sure. Does anybody know the path of the OTA download location for the Moto G7 Play? I have access (r/o) to the root directory, but I simply don't know the OTA download path.

Update: Later today, I will sync my device with the Lenovo-Moto Smart Assistant to see if the latest firmware build for the xt1952-4 is available there. If so, I'll capture the package, upload it to my cloud host, and post the link here.
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Well, good old Lolinet beat me to the punch. The latest official firmware package for the Sprint compatible xt1952-4 has been added to the repo.

PCY29.105-134: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/channel/official/Sprint/

In addition to the typical features of a maintenance release update -- e.g. bug fixes, stability improvements -- the PCY29.105-134 firmware build includes Android security patches through June 1, 2019. The baseband firmware has also been updated to version M632_26.100.01.120.01R, and includes improvements to cellular data handover from a dropped or weak WiFi connection, better stability and clarity for voice calls made VoLTE and VoWiFi, as well as some minor bug fixes regarding domestic voice roaming in particular geographic locations throughout the US.

Can we use the boot image to patch and get root?
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Parching the stock boot image via Magisk is not currently working on the Moto G7 Play with regard to root. This is an issue being explored by Magisk's developer, topjohnwu. Hopefully a viable root method will soon be available for this device, as well as TWRP support.
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] Spaceminer:
It seems like you also need magisk to patch the dtbo.img as well. I'm working on it right now but Magisk is throwing me a java error. I might need to send the terminal output into the void (2>/dev/null), or just patch it manually with a hex editor. I'm not sure yet. I'll probably have another test ready in a few hours though.
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] fddm:
Here's the first reported issue:

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/1547

And the currently open one:

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/1674

I was wondering if anyone has made an attempt at getting system root installed rather than systemless(by flashing through twrp or injecting into the system image before flashing)?
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Here is the current progress of [MENTION=7718083]Spaceminer[/MENTION], who just ironed out a stable TWRP for the G7 Play also.

For anyone who cares to try, this is what I was wondering about:

https://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/v2-64-2-66-supersu-mode-t3286120

Obviously Magisk would be better as there is no other way to pass safetynet, install Xposed, or easily install updates, but any root is better than no root IMO. I have the G7 Power, otherwise I'd be testing myself.
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I was thinking of trying system-wide root also. The Moto G7 Play stock boot image uses dm-verity (and AVB also??) which would be triggered by modifying /system, or even mounting /system as R/W. But, disabling dm-verity is nothing more than a quick patch. I'm just wondering if both boot_a and boot_b would need to be patched. Do you have any input on this?
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] fddm:
Should just be boot_a, but your comment made me think selinux poses a problem. It would almost certainly block su and can only be disabled in the kernel. If this is the case, we'd need to grab the sources and rebuild with the flag disabled.
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Agreed. The kernel source has been released for the G7 Play, but I'm not very savvy when it comes to compiling with Linux. I could manage the disabling of dm-verity by using a script. Maybe there's a script for setting SELinux to permissive.

Root for g7 play

Has anyone had any luck with rooting the G7 Play yet. It's September and I can't seem to find anyone online. If so, can you post instructions? I just purchased it and I'd like to get my root on :D

Thanks!!!!!

[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] Savinu':
Well, I've done it. Though it required a full system install to do it. I installed a unofficial gsi image with gapps and su. Root works quite fine, as far as I can tell. The only downside I saw was the lack of notch support
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] GatoDeNieve:
Does the fingerprint sensor and moto actions work on that gsi? and if so, what HW version are you running? (Im wondering is you have the XT1952-2)

I sucssesfully rooted Moto G7 Play with magisk

Here is a Little tutorial of how to root Moto G7 Play:

1 Download this ROM:

From mirrors.lolinet(dot)com/firmware/moto/channel

2. Install from RSD Lite:

3. Install Magisk 7.3.1 update before flashing it would be necessary

4. After installing the ROM, copy the BOOT.img file that you have in the ROM folder on your mobile phone.

Install and open Magisk, if you are asked to update, you can update.

Click Advanced Settings and verify the 3 available options.

Click: Install magisk, Install, Select and Patch File

Choose the file BOOT.img

After processing, it will be saved in the download folder

5. Copy magisk_patched to your computer to the ADB folder

Then open ADB and connect your phone in Fastboot mode.

Start the command:

fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img

Then use the volume keys and click on RECOVERY MODE

(clicking on START may not work)

If everything went well, when you turn on the phone you will see a black screen with a type code xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx and the phone will vibrate and start the system.

NOTES: If magisk later requests to install or update something else (requires additional configuration), do not do it, because I did it and root disappeared and I had to redo the whole procedure.

If you turn off and on the phone, the root disappears. To return, you must go to fastboot mode and click on the same option RECOVERY MODE and the root returns to normal.

¿Does anyone knows how to make the root persistent after reboot or shutdown?

Hope enjoy your phone rooted.
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] mtmtumbo:
Thanks for the instructions - I got to the point where the phone black screens and the code xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx appears, but the phone does not vibrate, and the code just stays on the screen - after about 1-2 minutes, the code will flash off the screen and back on again, but the system does not startup. Seems to be just looping.

Anyone with the same issue?

(BTW, my model is XT1952-4/RETCA.)
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] leektumz:
Mine is XT1952-2 I guess its only working on XT1952-1 and XT1952-2.
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] darknetog:
Yup, His method worked, for some reason if you restart your Moto G7 Play (xt1952-6) a few times root disappears, you'll have to repeat steps above, well at least just from flashing the rooted boot.img. good after that
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] Fdraco10:
So? Root method for this device is experimental, isn't sure 100%
[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] darknetog:
I assume its still in under development, I haven't seen TWRP for my Moto G7 Play by MetroPCS (XT1952-6)Channel version)

[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] 00p513:
You need to tick the recovery mode box in magisk manager before patching. Then when you want to boot rooted select recovery mode. It is a bit like the old xbox mods, you can boot non root or root.

When I try to follow this guide it tells me that "(bootloader) permission denied!" I'm following the 'fastboot boot recovery.img' command..

Even when I tried installing GSI I had an issue; seems that I'm not 'rooting' or I'm missing the part/instruction of unlocking the bootloader.

[Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers] chuy19312:
An easy way to root Moto g7 Play Stock ROM is to put Magisk apk (any version from 24.0 and above) and boot.img of your Stock ROM variation to internal storage, install magisk apk, open it, press on install button, patch boot.img from Magisk and put it into your pc then flash it from fastboot, i did even work for variations like MetroPCS one

Sadly, it has an bug that if you remove magisk boot.img, ROM will get into bootloop unless you flash magisk boot.img or flash Stock ROM again

Hallo,

I have been told from a MB guy that the TyTN II isn't compatible with the MB bluetooth SAP cradle because of the Windows Mobile OS. Does anybody knows what to change in the registry in order to establish a connection between these devices? I already tried to do the following change, without any positive result:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Sys\COD

where I changed the default value 5898764 (Decimal) which is "Telephone (Smartphone)" to 5374476 (Decimal) which is a normal phone.

Any other idea from the pro's?

I have Redmi Note 7 Global Version 4/64, is my camera is 48px or 12px?

I read today that new version of Redmi note 7s is coming to India with new lenses and 48px camera.

What this means:

The Xaomi Redmi note that launched in India a few months ago comes with a different camera configuration than Redmi Note 7 launched in China. While the Chinese version features 48MP 5MP setup on the back the Indian version have 12MP 2MP sensors.

* Redmi note 7 India : S660, 12+2

* Redmi note 7 Global: S660, 48+5

* Redmi note 7 Pro India: S675, 48+5

* Redmi note 7 Pro China (There is no global): S675, 48+5

So this is nothing to get excited about, its probably 660, 48+5. The global Note 7 coming to India as 7S. I hope i am wrong about this.
