GofW,

THIS SEEMS LIKE A GREAT GUIDE BUT TO MANY THINGS CAN GO SIDEWAYS FOR A NOVICE LIKE ME. I DON'T WANT TO BRICK MY NEW, UNUSED, UNLOCKED MGS. HENCE, DO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE HERE KNOW OF OR CAN YOU DIG UP A GOOD MOTO/LENO TECH IN LAS VEGAS/HENDERSON NV? IF SO, PLEASE TELL ME WHO THAT IS AND HOW I CAN CONTACT THEM? I'D GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP WITH THIS ASAP AND THANKS IN ADVANCE!
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Guides, News, & Discuss] Mnstr3nrgy:
This is possibly one of the most responsible comments I have seen on XDA. You dont feel comfortable doing it, even with a guide so you would like to have someone who knows what they are doing, do it for you.

My question to you though is,

If you dont feel comfortable going through the root process, what do you need root for then?

Like its just as easy to brick your phone once its rooted as it is when going through the rooting process.

Rooting your phone gives access to the file system that you usually wouldnt have access to. The reason you dont have access to that file system is so that you dont go adding, subtracting, or editing the wrong files.

In my "Expert" opinion, if you dont feel comfortable, then its probably better not to have.

However, if you were willing to learn, and you had another phone as your primary (in case something goes wrong), or if you just had an old phone that you could practice with, then maybe it would be a better situation.

Although, practicing on an older device wont exactly help with this phone directly, but will give you more of an understanding of the different modes to put your phone in, using adb and command prompt, extracting and creating files, etc.

The reason it wont nessicerily help with this phone directly is because pretty much every phone is a little different on the process. Usually the same brand phones are about the same, but even then we are thrown for a loop because of whatever stupid reason it happens to be. I was going to start naming a few reasons, but then I realized that if I started then I would probably just keep typing them out and we would end up with a long list.

Point of all this being, if you had someone else root your phone for you and you didnt learn anything, what are you going to do when/if you accidently do something you shouldnt have and the phone say ends up in a boot loop (most common thing I can think of at the moment)????

Also this is not to discourage you by any means. In fact its meant to get you to maybe want to familiarize yourself with your phone. That way if you say decided to chage boot screen on your phone, and you rebooted and doesnt get passed the initial boot screen. Which ironically I rebooted my moto g stylus to see if it said the name of the phone or something like that like samsung does, and right now its stuck on the initial boot screen and my phone isnt even rooted, so now I need to go figure out whats up with my phone.

Good luck.

Edit: Right after I submitted the post, my phone decided to boot up. Maybe it's because I hadnt rebooted in who the hell knows.
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Guides, News, & Discuss] Anti-Transhumanist:
Thanks for your very insightful reply. Of course, our phones serve as surveillance systems tracking our activities and locations etc. I want to avoid that because I value my privacy as should we all. In order for the phone to be secure I need the right software setup that's done properly. So I prefer to have an expert do it since I may botch it myself. In my opinion to maximize security it is important to use Open Source Software to prevent being tracked. And possibly proprietary apps of only trusted companies. So to be safe I want to root Android 10 and install LineageOS. And replace the Google Play Store with F-Droid to source alternative open source apps. I don't want to brick my phone in the process. So please PM me, if preferred, if you can help or know of an Androidian in LV who can.

So, still no 'official' twrp?
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Guides, News, & Discuss] Mnstr3nrgy:
I thought I seen in this thread that it was done. I may be wrong though, I have to many phones and sometimes I get stuff mixed up. To many things running around in my head to remember which info belongs to which device.

If it hasnt been done yet, then I guess its a good thing that I still dont have a compelling reason as to why I would need this phone to be rooted.

I have rooted my Moto G Stylus (XT2043-4) without issues. Now if I want to receive future OTA updates, must I unroot? If so, what's the best method? Can I just flash the stock (unpatched) boot.img or is it more complicated?

Also since the magisk root is systemless, does that mean I will receive OTA announcements?

2. Install zip file using TWRP

IF you aren't eligible for unlock it's simple if you are on metroPCS.

what you need

old sim

turn off data so you only have wifi and shut phone off.

insert old sim into new phone

reboot phone

once running and connected to wifi, run the unlock app.

profit!

worked for me, I bought a new phone and of course it wasn't eligible but this worked...

Can you help me with soomething...?

I'll say my problem first because I don't know if you'll reply..

So basically I don't have a computer and I have a Motorola Moto G Stylus phone, And I got the phone gifted by a friend. But the problem is that when I turn it on "The phone is on factory mode" the touch doesn't work. But I discovered that it has the recovey twrp installed.

When I get in the recovey mode the touch works but when I reboot the system it doesn't works. I deleted data and did everything I could to solve the problem. But still the touch didn't work. I think there is a problem with the rom installed. I tried to install a new rom but I don't know what is the build number of the phone is. I only know little about roms. Can you tell me how to know the build number of my phone and how to install the rom using twrp because I don't have a pc. If there is no way I do this without a pc I'll borrow one from my a friend "difficulty level 100/100". It's ok if you can't help me! Have A Nice Day!

If you're trying to get a copy of the boot.img to patch with magisk & have a PC, you can boot TWRP & backup the boot partition. The boot.emmc.win file is the boot image. Patch it with magisk, flash it via fastboot, & you'll have root.

How do I decrypt my andorid10 moto stylus?

I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP 3.4, and installed Magisk

But I am having difficulty wiping the data partition (to decrypt the system)

My last phone was an android7 phone. TWRP would wipe the data and reformat it without a problem. That is not working on this phone

can't install twrp via https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-3-5-0.4155041/

it acts like it installs but it just boots to twrp and twrp is not there without the cable....when i reboot the device without the cable there is nothing in recovery mode.

and when i patch the boot.img with magisk it soft bricks the the phone where the touch screen won't work... i used this thread to fix it https://xdaforums.com/t/stock-rom-for-motorola-g-stylus-retail.4104451/

do i have to wait for new twrp and new rooting method?
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Guides, News, & Discuss] dafunk60:
What command are you using to install TWRP? Are you sure you're flashing/installing & not just booting TWRP?

Where did you get the boot.img to patch with Magisk? My experience has been that if it won't boot, or it boots & the touch screen doesn't work, you're patching & flashing a boot.img from a different ROM version.

- What I do to get a boot.img to patch is boot TWRP (not install), a PC is required.

- Backup the boot partition using TWRP. (Recently I had to backup to SD as I suspect TWRP for our devices needs to be updated for Android 11 & currently cannot decrypt the data partition.)

- Boot the phone into Android.

- Then patch the TWRP backup with Magisk.

- Boot back into fastboot.

- Using your PC, flash the patched boot.img

- Boot the phone into Android & it should work fine.

By taking a backup of your current, unpatched boot image right from your phone, you can be sure it is the correct version. I did this after installing the OTA for RPRS31.Q1-56-9-2 last week & it worked just fine.
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Guides, News, & Discuss] beensen:
I'm using the install command for TWRP and it doesnt boot into recovery after my phone is disconnected from the cable. I got my boot imag from the rom in this thread. I have metro by tmobile

when i flash the twrp recovery... i can enter recovery mode 1 time... after i boot into the phone i turn it off and go to fastboot mode where i can go to recovery and when i do go to recovery mode theres nothing except a dead robot.

OK come to find out i have to first be rooted for twrp to stay when installed.
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Guides, News, & Discuss] dafunk60:
I'm not an expert but it sounds like you are not installing TWRP, only booting it. I'll ask again, what command are you using to flash or boot TWRP?

I do know that you do not need root to flash a recovery. Root is a function of the Android OS, not the recovery OS. You do need an unlocked bootloader to flash a recovery, or any other unsigned image however.

Not sure which boot image you grabbed from this thread or what rom version you're running but they need to be identical. The version numbers need to match precisely. You can't just use the boot image from any T-Mobile rom.
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Guides, News, & Discuss] beensen:
i was using "fastboot flash recovery <twrp.img>" to flash twrp...

so what i did was install twrp and flash the patched boot.img using twrp and twrp stayed installed this time... i can just boot right into it from recovery mode... so all my problems are solved.

I have a non-rooted moto g stylus and received the same exact OTA that you did. My problem is that I'd like to root the phone, but have no means of obtaining the boot image from that OTA security patched package. Do you know anywhere to get the OTA or the boot.img from the package (RPRS31.Q1-56-9-2) ?
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Guides, News, & Discuss] djmcfar:
Does anyone know if the Moto Rescue and Smart Assistant leaves a copy of an OTA that it has installed for you on your PC ? If so, then one way of getting the OTA that I need in order to root would be to intentionally brick the phone and then use the Rescue program...

[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Guides, News, & Discuss] djmcfar:
Thank you very much dafunk60 !!! I got it rooted. The latest version of MagiskManager (8 something) has problems running on my moto G stylus with android 11 security patch installed. It always says there a required package, and then downloads it and reboots. Bringing up the manager a second, third, etc time produces the same result, but I'm sure there is plenty of stuff I can get without it. Magisk version 23 was not capable of testing the safety net either, but I was able to verify the rooted condition by executing su from the adb shell (at which time my phone popped up a box asking if root access should be granted - and I tapped 'allow'), and then the prompt changed to a pound sign. Another issue with Magisk and the Manager is installing one would uninstall the other (adb install).

Once again, thank you very much !!
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Guides, News, & Discuss] djmcfar:
Magisk version 23 (what I am using) contains the functionality of the manager. Feeling pretty stupid here as I missed the line by the author which clearly states "Magisk Manager is dead." with an explanation below it. Duh on me !
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Guides, News, & Discuss] dafunk60:
Happy to hear you got it sorted. I like this method as I don't need to download boot images from random sources or deal w/ the Lenovo software.
[Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Guides, News, & Discuss] djmcfar:
Thanks @Vampire Lord . I verified it with that tool and by using some apps that require root, so then I started looking for custom ROMs supporting the phone and Android 11, but found that there currently aren't any. It would be awesome to get RR for A11, or Lineage (it would be cool to try any of them).

I use the WIFI debugging capability of A11 because it has zero requirement to ever plug in the USB cable, and USB is the only way you can recharge this phone, so downgrading to A10 (which may not even be possible) is not really an option for me. It would be interesting to try RR for A10, but only as an exercise.

BTW, lolinet finally got the A11 with security patch upgrade for the moto G Stylus US version, and the file is named XT2043-4_SOFIAP_RETUS_11_RPRS31.Q1-56-9-2_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml

[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] ktezoren:
Hello all,

My problem is with a ginkgo device. I have unlocked the bootloader, have installed TWRP 3.3.1.0, and have rooted with Magisk a couple months ago. I was using MIUI.

Until now, monthly security patches would be downloaded automatically and installed whenever I rebooted, without any problem. It is different this time, however: An update (May security patch, I guess) was downloaded (automatically) a couple weeks ago. I haven't rebooted the device, ignoring the notification telling me to reboot.

When I finally rebooted today, the device booted into TWRP recovery. I tried exiting by holding the power button, or rebooting into fastboot or rebooting system etc. from the menu. No matter how I exited TWRP, it always booted to TWRP again.

I found the downloaded update ROM in a folder named downloaded_rom in my "home directory" (directory that shows when USB is connected). I thought of flashing it using TWRP though I refrained from doing so, thinking that it may be corrupted.

So, what should I do now? Why do you think this happened suddenly? Is there a method of recovery without losing data, if there is any?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
