My phone is Indian version and I have downloaded the version from Oxygen updater app and local installed this update but after update I'm not getting perfect black instead I feel I'm using a night mode which in not able to change. There is some brown hue to all over screen even quick toggle bar is not black even after setting the theme to black . Can anyone one day how to degrade to 9.5.11 or will this change after I get Android 10 update ?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] HippoMan:
Is this zipfile flashable via TWRP, or does it have to be installed via Settings->System updates->Local upgrade ?

I'm looking for a TWRP-flashable version of this, if such a thing exists.

Thank you very much.

I am still on 9.5.13 and been debating upgrading even though my phone says it is up to date. After seeing the complaints about 10.0.3 I think I will just hold off. "If it ain't broke don't fix it" ... as the old saying goes.

I had success rooting this device (Moto E6 Surfna) by following the "Boot Image Patching" method here: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html

mingkee had success with the same method on the G7 https://xdaforums.com/moto-g7/how-to/root-g7-magisk-t3907084

Summary:

1. Unlock bootloader, this can help https://xdaforums.com/moto-g7/how-to/guide-unlock-g7-bootloader-t3906858

2. Download the firmware for your variant: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/surfna/official/

3. From the firmware zip, extract the recovery.img

4. Install the Magisk Manager https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 on the phone

5. Push the recovery.img to the phone

6. From the Magisk Manager, tap "Install" then "Select and Patch a File", find the recovery.img and patch it.

7. Pull the patched img to the PC, Magisk Manager will put in /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched.img

8. Flash the patched img as recovery (fastboot flash recovery magisk_patched.img)

I used the recovery.img instead of the boot.img because the boot.img didn't work for me. Check out the "Magisk in Recovery" section https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html

Start the phone in recovery mode and Magisk will start the phone normally. In the future, the phone will need to boot in recovery mode to start Magisk. A normal boot will cause Magisk to deactivate.

Proceed at your own risk. I give no guarantees, implied or otherwise.

Also, I might've missed a step here or there.

Good luck, happy rooting.
[Moto E6 Guides, News, & Discussion] fddm:
Makes me wonder if you can flash the magisk-patched recovery to the bootloader partition. On other devices I've flashed boot to recovery so it would always boot normally, kids would sometimes trigger it otherwise.
[Moto E6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Nice work [MENTION=8384547]mer2017[/MENTION]. These recent Moto devices -- some of them at least -- have proven difficult to root. The Moto G7 Play is among those devices that, despite adamant efforts, does not presently have a viable rooting method. Methods which have been confirmed successful for other Moto G7 variants are not effective on the G7 Play, despite the fact that an unofficial and seemingly stable TWRP build has been compiled as well.

I have been reading the Magisk support topics you referenced for recovery image patching versus boot image patching. The answer is most likely some utilization of a patched recovery image, perhaps somehow flashed to the /boot partition?? This is where things get muddled for me, as the G7 Play -- being an A/B partition index device -- is devoid of an actual /recovery partition. Anyway, OP, I apologize in advance for my somewhat off-topic post. I realize this thread is intended for Moto E6 subject matter regarding root. When I read your thread, a light bulb sort of illuminated for me with respect to a working root method for my device. I will provide links to a couple of the tentative root threads for the Moto G7 Play. If you could perhaps give some input based on your experience, it would be a huge help to us. Again, I humbly beg your pardon for posting about a different device, and nice work on the Moto E6. :good:

Almost?

I was able to get the root to stick by after a few hours I plugged my phone in and it randomly turned off. I tried to boot it back up and it booted into bootloader. I tried to restart it and it still kept going to bootloader. I then used the fastboot reboot command and it rebooted and OS popped up. However of course. Magisk was deactivated. Went back and tried to boot to recovery and the flash had been erased and it booted me into the regular recovery mode. Also with no magisk. What could I have done wrong.

Now this is the message I get when I flash it still will boot into OS with root enabled.

after about 5 hours it did the continous fastboot boot up and the log said something like

"fastboot reason: reboot mode set to fastboot"

I did oem fb_mode_clear to no avail and not sure why it changed regardless.

Dead to the touch

I followed the guide linked and attempted to root by patching the boot.img with magisk. My device boots, but touch screen appears to be shot. I've reflashed the boot.img file without the patch, and factory reset several times, unfortunately my device's touch functionality seems to be gone... Any suggestions on how I can fix this?
[Moto E6 Guides, News, & Discussion] FEGuy:
If you're using a boot image you downloaded from somewhere else rather than the one from your own device, you might be out of luck. You can probably grab the proper stock firmware through Moto Smart Assistant on PC and reflash, but that might wipe your data.

The original post is a bit misleading, as Magisk can't be installed into the boot partition of the e6 due to the system-as-root setup. You'll need to install it in the recovery partition - re-read the guide and make sure you're aware of the caveats before proceeding.
[Moto E6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sasuke33:
Thanks for responding. I actually figured out the issue this afternoon, but didn't get a chance to edit my post yet. I needed to flash the vendor.img file that came with the boot.img file. Once I did that, it restored touch capabilities. And yes, I ended up patching and flashing the recovery.img file to flash. While I was able to patch and flash the boot.img file it didn't do anything as you said.

I have root as long as I boot to recovery, so all is round in my world. It'll be even more awesome if it ever gets a twrp release, but for now this root method serves my needs ?

Again thanks for responding to my post, and I hope my little anecdote can help someone from making my mistakes or help fix the issue.

i got to step 8

but when i reboot normally, on root.

When i reboot to reocovery , the E6 displays android pic with No command
[Moto E6 Guides, News, & Discussion] motoembers:
I thought no command was an error at first, it's just how the android system is. It is saying 'no command' because you have not inserted a command. If you hold down power button and volume up it should go into recovery options.

I was able to root my phone, using a similar method as the OP. Magisk offers a good guide actually. The reason it may not be working for other people is when you make the image make sure you include recovery option in magisk options. Otherwise it's not going to work.

Downside of this is you have to boot into recovery mode all the time. But at least its rooted.

If you need to reboot the phone for any reason, use Reboot to recovery option in Magisk. Or any other third party root app which provides option to reboot to recovery.

Hey, Guys. Just unlocked the bootloader. Need help choosing which firmware. I got the phone from this company, Visible, which Google tells me is by Verizon. However, the VZW directory files don't match my model or build number.

From the phone settings:

Model number: XT2005-5

Build number: PPBS29.73-81-5-3

USC, RETUS, and CC directories have files that match these numbers. They all have the same file size too. Which one should I use if I'm on T-mobile?

EDIT: Thanks, fcohen! RETUS worked fine for me as well.

When I try to flash I get "Bad Key". I can't flash no-verity-opt-encrypt without TWRP though, so I don't know what to do.
[Moto E6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Charuto:
I messed up. Rebooted regularly and lost root. Can't seem to get root back. Followed the directions again starting with unlocking the bootloader. Read later that wasn't necessary. Is it possible I corrupted something by trying to unlock the bootloader more than once?

In any case, I'm flashing the magisk_patched.img and rebooting to recovery. From there it says "Signature missing or corrupted" and just bootloops this error message. I let this go on for over half an hour and nothing changed. Taking out the battery and booting normally gives the same error message and bootloop.

I can start normally again if I start in bootloader mode and select the start option--this gives me the normal phone without root. Below I've included more notes which may have some clues to what I did wrong.

Thank you!

I just got this phone yesterday and bricked it 2 or 3 times I thought. I had to read every post to see I had to boot to recovery to get root to stick. Thank you for the guide. I'm about to try and few things on this device and I bookmarked this guide.
[Moto E6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Charuto:
Thanks. I got root back and since lost it again. For posterity I'll list my steps.

Per: https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...actory-images-android-using-fastboot-0175277/

I tried flashing a few different things hoping to solve the bootloop and keep my data. I tried boot.img, bootloader.img, recovery.img, all the system.img, and vendor.img but none of them worked. I forget which flash did it, but eventually I couldn't get out of the bootloop no matter what I did. I had to hardware boot (Power + Vol -) into recovery mode and it gave me the option to "try again" (booting) or factory reset. I factory reset and repeated OP steps to flash recovery to get root back.

As for how I lost root again... Phone rebooted normally after moto security update. "No biggie" I thought. I'll just flash the patched recovery again--I still have the patched file. I flash and select reboot recovery. Bootloop. Have to hardware boot into recovery. I can factory reset or try again. Try again takes me back to my phone but no root. I'm just living without root at the moment. So far I've tried the following:

Flash recovery twice before reboot recovery. Bootloop.

Flash recovery. Reboot bootloader. Reboot recovery. Bootloop.

Flash recovery. Unplug usb. Reboot recovery. Bootloop.

Flash recovery. fastboot reboot recovery. FAILED 'Unknown command'

Flash recovery. Power off. Hardware boot into recovery. Select try again. Phone boots with no root.

[Moto E6 Guides, News, & Discussion] souperdoupe:
Followed this guide before installing any updates. Everything worked like a charm. Since the initial unlock/recovery flash, I've ran the Moto system updates — up to 29.73-85-5. Still able to access root by reflashing; but, only after patching the corresponding recovery image from the 73-85-5 rom.

One thing to note: I had some trouble finding the correct version. Worked around by running (without backticks) `fastboot getvar all` and piecing together the information from:

- sku/carrier_sku ("XT2005-5")

- version baseband ("SURFNA")

- ro.build.fingerprint ("PPB29.73-52"). Had to piece the lines together to get the full picture/string.

Then, I was able to determine the correct download from your list.

In any case, thank you for doing great work with this. Let me buy you a beer sometime.
[Moto E6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Charuto:
^^ Gave me the idea to patch the recovery.img from an updated build. The magisk_patched.img I had was from build 73-81-5-3. I had updated to 73-81-5-5 and the auto reboot afterward is what made me lose root in the first place. Unfortunately this did not work either. Same "Signature missing or corrupted" bootloop. Strangely, when I hardware boot into recovery, it says it is recovery 73-81-5-3 and not 73-81-5-5 from the build I flashed. Does this mean I didn't flash correctly? Idk the prompt said OKAY when sending/writing recovery. Not sure what it means, just something I noticed.
[Moto E6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Michele31415:
I just got one of these from Consumer Cellular and want to root it. It has a build of PPBS29.73-81-5-8. The list of files for this only seems to go up to 73-81-5-5. Can I use that anyway or will it brick my phone?

Or better yet, how about this easy looking method (from https://myphoneupdate.com/root-motorola-moto-e6/):

I haven't tried this yet - does it look like it would work?
[Moto E6 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I doubt it would, because the TWRP app only has official versions and a completely working version hasn't been made for the E6 yet.
[Moto E6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Michele31415:
Looks like you are correct. I ran the TWRP app and didn't find the E6 in their list. So even though that method is called "Install TWRP Recovery On Motorola Moto E6 Using TWRP App: Method 2", it's just BS. Sigh.

also, I did see on the website from the firmware link

and I saw it went up to 81-6 and the website used to have them all from 81-5

anyone know where to get firmware for e6 81-5-8

I tried flashing after patching and not signed image

also, is there a way to get the recovery image straight off the phone? but it's not rooted
[Moto E6 Guides, News, & Discussion] LgPWNd:
Some sort of progress

So, I got rooted with magisk using stock recovery.

To get around the sometimes accident regular boot.

I flashed the broken twrp that's floating around to my boot partition.

Now it always reboots to recovery.

Going to work out the encryption from fstabs and from the dtb and dtb0.

Also my friends and I are trying to get the twrp working with the touch screen

I'm going to pull the firmware off my e6 for a way back to rooted stock,

Then start working towards getting custom rom

I think twrp that semi works needs the ramdisk fixed up and a point to dtbo.

I might try appending the dtb to the zimage in the recovery kernel....

Anyway just some small progress, I'll update as I have time and make advancement
[Moto E6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dimitar G K:
I am not an expert, but will it be possible to patch the recovery.img with magisk and then replace the original recovery with the patched one in the Rescue and Smart Assistant's recovery folder (where the stock rom is) and then reinstall the OS using the Rescue and Smart Assistant but this time with the patched recovery?
[Moto E6 Guides, News, & Discussion] LgPWN'd:
I don't know about all of that.

But I can make a package that would use fastboot to unlock the device and then flash twrp and then restore a twrp backup that would set u up with magisk, in boot partition... And working twrp with touch on recovery. Also disables encryption and verity ....

An all in one tool.

Can be made for a PC,

Linux or windows..

I just need to feel motivated
