Where I'm At

So I got my phone back to stock, updated and got sim card access back. I followed all the instructions without a hitch and did not lose sim card access this time. Unfortunately, nothing changed no root, and magisk is not installed. I think what might be an issue is the fastboot erase userdata, when fixing the recovery bootloop. After I install Magisk the phone is booting as it does for the first time you actually boot the phone because it prompts you to set up the phone. I don't see how there could be stuff preinstalled when the phone has not even been setup yet. All the time I rooted in the past my phone was already setup with apps installed and everything so when I flashed SuperSu it would show up when I boot the phone because the app was being added to all the apps already there, do you see what I mean. If somehow you can fix the recovery bootloop other than erasing userdata, that way you can set up the phone in advance so that when you finally boot after installing magisk, you are booting into an already set up phone. Just an idea.

Thanks

Yeah this Moto G7 Play has been perplexing to root to say the least. The methods confirmed working on the other Moto G7 variants are not working on this device. Thanks to dedicated devs like [MENTION=7718083]Spaceminer[/MENTION], [MENTION=3445372]scritch007[/MENTION] and [MENTION=7843264]ninjakira[/MENTION], among others, root is surely imminent for the CHANNEL. I am thankful to these dedicated individuals for sacrificing their time and resources to the cause.

if its digital it can be hacked its just figuring out before my ZTE ZMAX Pro died , it took almost 3 years to get root i feel like only because we didn't have access to a firehouse programer , and a lot of back and forth between showing proof of root so they made a discord , unfortunately i didnt feel like rebuilding the phone just to revive it , we did acquire root and that phone was left on 6.0 marshmallow due to no more updates and the Axon 7 being their " flagship device " i feel like persistence is key in this case if we can get more developers from the G7 forums and have them inspect our partitions and boot , dtbo images and get a stable TWRP which is why i feel we can't root once TWRP can be booted with data partitions created without having to due a wipe to gain access i feel we can acquire root we need a stable TWRP for Channel and other moto g7 variants with respective tweaks for devices and we can gain root

---------- Post added at 01:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 AM ----------

I agree i ran into the same problems as well we just need to focus on a stable TWRP not root and once we have that then root should be the next step TWRP4.img is perfect we just need to figure out how to patch our stock DTBO because it boots and data pops up but screen is black when i flash the modified one it boots but boot loops so my assumption is we are flashing a DTBO from a previous firmware build and we need our stock DTBo.im patched to work correctly to properly patch the ramdisk and see if it boot loops or not at least we have a working twrp just need to patch our dtbo if someone can provide us with a process to do so

if someone can add this patched file to the boot.img we might see if this gives us a path to root

its a modified init default.prop i googled patch boot.img for magisk manually and came across this changed the lines according to the site but can't seem to repack the boot.img

[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I'm gonna unpack it with SuperR's kitchen, add the prop lines from your file, and see if I'm able to repack it.

Update: I'm having trouble repacking the boot image as well. It's a permission error, but it provides a support link for guidance. I'm going to try to figure it out.
[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Has anybody tried the Image Factory app to unpack/repack the boot.img? Here is a direct download link for Image Factory v2.8 if anybody wants to try it. https://drive.google.com/file/d/12-5soCAfBdQ9dclthvTI-AjXknZnm1pz/view?usp=drivesdk

I tried unpacking the boot image I made with the default.prop and repacked it it booted , but then when I patched it with magisk unpacked and repacked since magisk couldn't sign it properly it boot loops and switches to slot A , I keep reading posts where it says the opposite side has to have magisk not the side that's the current slot this A/B system is confusing to be the most
[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Confuses me also. For years I've been accustomed to standard partition tables, and now I hate this A/B stuff. But, bad as I dislike it, it's the protocol of the future it looks like, so I'm trying to learn.
[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] thenatti:
Can someone figure out how to partition the phone as A only there has to be a way to reconfigure kind of like a mod like the apps to SD but for only using one partition or have the other one as extended storage these are just mini computers that can call people if they have partitions we just need someone who can reconfigure the partition scheme to only see A and treat B as an ad card within itself or as one whole pariton we can mount as A only

Just trying to find a solution for root ? and for $200 is a mid flagship could be a flagship with root with a custom rom , already answered my question with a partition remap unless you know hex editing is impossible without bricking first , lastly any word on the dtbo and patched boot imgs I uploaded days ago?
[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Wow, $200? Mine was $79 on eBay and that was with 30 days of Boost Mobile service, preactivated. Is yours the unlocked retail model? I had heard that those cost more.

I always buy unlocked phones easier to switch a carrier and if it's Android the bootloader would be able to be unlocked easier than a prepaid carrier or a regular carrier
[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
Yep-paid $170 for fully unlocked (carrier agnostic) XT1952-4. Purchased one carrier branded device long ago and quickly realized the limitations. That said, $200 barely falls above the 'budget' line with a few mid-range characteristics. Never expected much developer interest. Purchased mainly for form factor; I prefer a smaller handset.

Thread is about TWRP

The thread seems to switch to what kinds of of deals we got on our phones.
[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
Yep, OT. That said, discussion was somewhat relevant as many G7P variants can not be bootloader unlocked (due to carrier restriction) which is typically a precursor to obtaining root on Moto gizmos. Not to mention flashing a custom recovery.

If I didn't leave my g4 at a bus stop , don't ask lol I don't even know how that was even possible , I would be straight it had so many roms for it I didn't know what to do lol I got this because on the front it resembles the iPhone X , paranoid Android rom or the AEX roms I think is the rom name roms are pretty decent as well I feel we would get more ram if this shipped with Oreo aposed to Android 9

is this thread officially dead ? im seeing if i can modify a flash file for a g7 for our phones its a twrp flashable with a makiskboot file and a ramdisk.cpio file i was copying pasting the modifications and comparing it with a patched boot image and maybe that can give us some traction
[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
It is not dead [MENTION=10101129]thenatti[/MENTION]. I can help test anything you need.

Things are looking up for the Moro G7 series in general. I just noticed on the official TWRP website that both the Moro G7 (river) and G7 Plus (lake) are officially supported.

Again, and I can't stress this enough, I'm very thankful to all of you who are helping on this.

[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ninjakira:
I wouldn't say it's dead it's just there not a whole lot we can do since me or [MENTION=7718083]Spaceminer[/MENTION] don't technically own the device. He managed to get you guys a good twrp going at least. It's a combo of us brainstorming, thinking of how we can patch dtbo and other stuff. That and we do maintain stuff on the g6 play also because we do have that device so were also more active over there unfortunately

Using newest version of majisk, I Just tried to patch boot.img and it failed.

However it did say it patched twrp4.img successfully. I don't have pc to try anything else just thought it may be useful info.
[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
For all the xt1952-4 (Sprint, Boost, Virgin) owners, the August 1 security patch OTA is now rolling out, bringing the Build No. to PCYS29.105-134-1. Thus far, it seems like Motorola is staying consistent on its maintenance and security updates.
[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] BobbyBlunt:
The link for twrp4 appears to be down.

Also I tried using patching my boot.img again as suggested above. Magisk doesn't install. The patched boot.img boots, but magisk is not installed

Also instead of bad key I get N/A in its place when using the patched boot img

"(bootloader) Image not signed or corrupt" is the error I get anytime I try and flash the patched image

It also seems as though I cannot lock my bootloader back. Keeps telling me "(bootloader) Flash valid Android images now"

I flashed the stock boot.img back. I even took an OTA update and I am getting the same error when trying to relock the bootloader
[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I share your dilemma. I'm having the same issues with my xt1952-4. For the life of me, I cannot figure out the key difference between the CHANNEL in contrast to the RIVER, LAKE & OCEAN. Root methods that are confirmed working on those devices are not working on our device.

On the twrp4, I will try to contact the dev and see if I can get a working link. I do know that he is now working longer hours and has not had a lot of free time for this project.

So as the title says, my Axon 7 just died today so I have reverted back to my Honor 5 while I am looking for the replacement. Looking at the new ZenFone 6 that hopefully is coming out this month. Other than that what is your recommendations. I use T-MOBILE in the USA, use microSD card and would like it to have the Qualcomm 855 CPU or equivalent.

Any recommendations would be helpful.

Hi All,

If this type of thread is not allowed, please delete however. Purpose of this is to get [MENTION=309990]freeza[/MENTION] a OnePlus 7 Pro so he can make BeastMode Kernel.

Hes currently running the Note 9 with his this kernel, see here. As you can see, he's bumped up the kernel version quite a bit over stock.

While running his kernel on my Note 9, I was able to achieve a 3912 single core, and 9984 multi-core on Geek Bench. Putting the Exynos 9810 on par with the 9820/Kirin 980/Snap 855 chips.

He has already agree'd to get with one a little help. I'm pledging

50$

US. Anyone else?

First, that benchmark means nothing. Second, there have been 9810 kernels with higher scores if you care about scores. A kernel only with Andreilux' changes topped that score, not to mention a kernel with newer scheduling changes by farovitus. Third, save your money.

You need to invest your money in original development. Think about Tbalden, Andreilux (where most 9810 kernels were taking changes from), SultanXDA etc.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] antiochasylum:
I'm very much aware what benchmarks mean. In real life situations they mean nothing.

Secondly its choice to do this, not yours. If you do not wish to partake, don't. Comments likes this are not of any value to the thread.

Also I know who all these people are, but thanks for a non value added comment.?

//Back on topic.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Noxxxious:
The choice is also mine because you publicly want people to donate for him to get a device. I'm aware who Freeza is as we are in the same Telegram group. You just are a dedicated/fan user who wants his favorite kernel on his device, but fact is it wont add any true value to the community at all as there are plenty of kernels out there that are similiair in the end. Oneplus already sponsors free devices to such kernels like blu_spark which formally seen are nothing refreshing. Making the effort to let the community pay for another upstreamed kernel with some picks from around will not improve anything. See it as having a low seed/high leech level in simple terms.

In short I am just saying that money is better spend elsewhere - as the amount of kernels is not the issue on Oneplus while the added value is - incase your figures would convince some non dedicated user.

On topic: the stock kernel is amazing as it is.

* super smooth

* super fast

* great SoT

* very low idle drain.

There are no magical custom kernels. Will some offer nice goodies like S2W? Yes. Will they transform the device from being mehhh to wowww (performance wise)? No.

Not to be a jerk, but it seems like you're the only one wanting this, you buy this dude a OnePlus 7 Pro so he can do it, I'm satisfied with SmurfKernel, which gives most of us all that we ask for.

Also, why would I send you the money and not directly to him, stop trying to be a scam, if he wants to do it then he can make his own post about it. I doubt he asked for a white knight nor do I think he wants/needs a OnePlus 7 Pro.

Ontop of it all, I don't think a kernel is worth $700+, if he made it I'm sure people would donate to him, but we're not gonna buy him a phone.

Everything I have said here has been on topic.

Edit: We're voicing our opinions, that's not us not letting people make their own decisions.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
As a recognized contributor you should be well aware of the XDA rules .. specifically that you can not ask for money BEFORE providing the (insert kernel, ROM, service, etc...etc.. here).

You can make a donation thread where people can *say* that they pledge $XX.XX -- and then collect once the kernel is provided, but asking for people to send money to buy a phone is flat out against the rules.

For now I will give you a chance to edit the post, but if this is still around tomorrow I will report it if another mod hasn't already gotten around to it.

I wonder if there is any way to install OTA updates (security updates) on a rooted phone with TWRP? And if not can completely disable the update service. I turned off notifications but I often see the update screen after waking up the phone.

No you need to be 100% stock for OTA updades.

Anyone still on EMUI 9? can anyone give me 40 mp night mode vs normal on low light condition? i haven't save it yet

The emui 9.1 remove 40mp from night mode , why huawei remove their top feature? the night mode can't replicated with pro mode, it takes multiple frame to remove noise, bring up brightness and detail. Using these with 40mp is awesome and make low light shot with 40mp useable, also this feature is only on huawei other 48mp does not give night mode on 48mp mode CMIIW
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] NotTheMomma:
It has wide angle and zoom, which don't operate at the 40 mp setting.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] amdultra:
yes, but before i can change to 40mp and choose night mode so the 40mp res can have better useable image in low light. The 40mp mode by itself is capable taking pictures on the night as long there's enough light, with the help with night mode it capable to take any picture in various condition

and the wide angle night mode is 10mp only now, before on EMUI 9 it was fully 20mp, still the wide angle camera is nothing to write about,it have different league with the 40mp sensor
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Kanguronightly:
In Emui 9.0 night mode have only 10MPX option not 40MPX
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] techops:
In night mode at any resolution you have only 10MP. The same is valid for Aperture and Portrait modes. There is no difference between 9 and 9.1 about this.

The camera, in addition to the slightly changed interface, generally has positive changes in the quality of the photos.

1. AI is less aggressive, the colors in AI mode are more natural than before. But in general, Auto mode without AI, Night and HDR seem to me closest to reality.

2. The night mode seems to me more realistic and the colors do not appear so yellowish

3. Zooming is smoother. Unfortunately, the zoom controls are still only on the right side when shooting in portrait mode and this is not so convenient for those holding the phone with the left hand. 30x zooming is usable if the phone is completely motionless, otherwise it is blurry.

4. HDR is slightly softer with less sharpening (probably cons for someone)

5. On a wide-angle camera the noise at darker pictures is less. But it still seems to me that the wide angle camera behaves better in the P30 Pro, although the hardware is the same. Generally, with a wide-angle camera, photos with AI included are brighter than those turned off
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] amdultra:
nope, there's 40mp size for night mode, there's other people confirming the same issue. You can use 40mp and choose night mode and your photo will still 40mp with the help of dark mode

Hello there. I'm pretty much new to this, or at least, a little bit rusty. I've been struggling to find a way to unlock my SIM - everytime I google it, all I can find are some tutorials about how to unlock my bootloader.

Could it possibly be that the way to unlock my SIM is unlocking my bootloader?

The other options I've found are IMEI Unlockers, but I don't think that's what I need - except for the fact that my IMEI appears to be broken? It's not my phone the one that apears on imei24.com, imei.info, imeipro.info, or any of those websites.

So there's two problems: I don't have my SIM unlocked (it only works with one company) and/or my IMEI doesnt target my phone (could this be the problem?)
