[Moto G Stylus 5G] ShayBox:
First unlock your bootloader, I don't remember the exact procedure but there's a toggle in developer options, and a website you have to use, this also requires resetting your phone unfortunately

After that, get the Motorola (Lenovo) smart assistant from support.motorola.com, and "rescue" your device,

This is done for a few reasons, 1. It downloads the boot.img you need, and 2. it updates your phone, this is important because you can't do system updates anymore.

Once it's "rescued", install the magisk apk, copy the boot.img from C:\ProgramData\RSA\ROM Files\etc to your phone, use the magisk app to patch it, and it will create a patched file

Then download and extract the android sdk platform tools (fastboot/adb), and copy the patched boot.img to that folder

Plug your phone in and put it in bootloader mode (same as the rescue required, Vol - & plug in)

Then "fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img"

This is possible without all of this, using some third party website that collects firmware files, but I prefer this way because I want to make sure I have the latest updates, having an update popup every time I turn my screen on is very annoying.

Also a tip, when you set your phone up, make sure you turn off any auto updating when it asks you, and turn it off in developer options too, if you never check for updates automatically or manually it will never know there's updates to apply and never annoy you, to update you'd have to do another rescue and patch/flash

Smart assistant is also how you unbrick, if you happen to do that like I did with some random commands for a different phone
[Moto G Stylus 5G] cwgzz:
Thank you for that detailed response. I was reading some posts on here and some people are saying that rooting this phone isn't a full root since they are not able to go Read/Write, is that true? Should I just wait indefinitely for a TWRP root?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] ShayBox:
This is true, and depending on what you want to do with root that may be a deal breaker, but I don't care for changing boot animation and stuff, I haven't run into any problems with read only system, root still works just fine, magisk modules work, etc
[Moto G Stylus 5G] cwgzz:
What exactly is that though? To be able to Read/Write? I basically want to root my device so I can change the language of certain apps and not all apps and I need Xposed or something in order to do that. Also, I want to be able to change my location withouth having to use "mock location" under the developer settings.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] ShayBox:
I don't know anything about fake locations, I've only ever used mock location a couple times

To get xposed afaik you get the Riru and Riru - LSPosed magisk modules, reboot and you get an LSPosed shortcut, which is your xposed control that lets you manage your xposed modules

For adblock, adaway works great, for theming you can get substratum (not substratum lite) from the playstore, and themes from the playstore, that works off a substratum magisk module and will theme the entire UI

If you need busybox for anything get the magisk module and app because of the read only system, you have to use the magisk module that loads it every boot
[Moto G Stylus 5G] cwgzz:
Thank you again, hey, I don't understand one of the steps that you said.

"Then download and extract the android sdk platform tools (fastboot/adb), and copy the patched boot.img to that folder"

I have the platform tools folder on my computer already, do you mean put the patched file in the entire platform tools folder?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] ShayBox:
Yes, it can be anywhere but you'll have to provide the path to it in the fastboot flash command

such as "fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img" or "fastboot flash boot C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\patched_boot.img"

putting it in the folder makes it easier to type
[Moto G Stylus 5G] cwgzz:
Okay I am not finding how the phone will find the file when I am recovery mode... I patched the rom now and I can't figure out how to load the patched rom. The only options I have is reboot to bootloader, enter fastboot, apply update from adb/sd card, wide data, mount system,

Going into fastboot, the only options are reboot system now, enter recovery, reboot to bootloader, power off
[Moto G Stylus 5G] ShayBox:
Download the Android SDK Platform Tools from Google here https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools

Extract that, then copy the patched boot img to that extracted folder

Turn off your phone, then hold volume down and plug it into your computer, this should boot it into bootloader mode

Then open a command prompt, powershell, or windows terminal inside the extracted folder

This is most easily done by holding shift and rightclicking in the empty area of the folder, and a new option will show in the rightclick menu for a command prompt, powershell, or windows terminal (depending on your version of windows)

Once you have that open, type "fastboot" and press tab, it should autocomplete the .exe part, which means you have the correct window open and it's in the correct folder

after that, add "flash boot <filename_patched_boot.img>", the file name may start with magisk, or you can rename it to something easier to type like "boot.img"

Press enter and it should start flashing it to the phone, if there's any problems please post a screenshot of the window
[Moto G Stylus 5G] cwgzz:
It keeps saying fastboot: usage: no command (This is so complicated...)
[Moto G Stylus 5G] cwgzz:
Okay I understand what you mean. Now it is saying cannot load boot.img, no such file or directory. It did autocomplete to .exe like you said.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] ShayBox:
You're missing the end of the filename (.img)
[Moto G Stylus 5G] cwgzz:
Oh... duh... what an idiot... hahah thank you so much for spending your time helping me out, I sincerely appreciate it so much. Alright so it's done flashing, am I good to turn on my phone and it's now rooted?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] ShayBox:
Yes you're now rooted, you can check with any root checker app or any app that uses root

Inside the magisk app settings make sure to click the "Hide Magisk app" button, then install this safetynet fix magisk module

GitHub - kdrag0n/safetynet-fix: Google SafetyNet attestation workarounds for Magisk

Google SafetyNet attestation workarounds for Magisk - kdrag0n/safetynet-fix

github.com

This is the direct link to the version you need https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/releases/download/v2.1.2/safetynet-fix-v2.1.2.zip

This requires the Riru magisk module, available in the magisk app, and then you can install this zip in the magisk app on the same page

After both Riru and Safetynet fix are installed and you reboot, the safetynet check button in magisk should pass and be blue

For xposed support also install the Riru - LSPosed magisk module, or the older Riru - EdXposed magisk module (I recommend LSPosed)
[Moto G Stylus 5G] cwgzz:
Man you are so helpful, thank you so much for all of your help!!! Do I do all of this on my phone? Do I still need to use my computer?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] ShayBox:
You shouldn't need your computer anymore, everything is done, you just have to install all your apps now

Hopefully this helps other people in the future
[Moto G Stylus 5G] cwgzz:
It shows that safetynet is installed, I don't see the blue, lol what exactly is safetynet?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] ShayBox:
There's apps that google will mark as "not compatible" if you have root, such as all nintendo games like mario run, this is for that I believe, what does the checker say for the 3 sections
[Moto G Stylus 5G] cwgzz:
Oh wow, would this also fix banking apps as well? I know my bank checks for root and won't work. And I am sorry, I don't know what you mean about the checker and 3 sections.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] cwgzz:
Oh I need to open my eyes more, lol it says "success" lol check, check, basic
[Moto G Stylus 5G] ShayBox:
For banking you want to enable "Magisk Hide" in settings, then add your banking apps to Magisk Hide on the second page of Magisk

Safetynet is just good to be able to pass just in-case

[Moto G Stylus 5G] cwgzz:
Wow you are really going all out on helping me and potential others in the future. Thank you!!
[Moto G Stylus 5G] cwgzz:
Ran into a problem. I'm not able to update chrome and possibly other apps. I tried to use magisk to block detection but still doesn't work. Any fix to this?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] ShayBox:
Haven't had that problem, If I had to guess it's the aurora store's version of google chrome
[Moto G Stylus 5G] cwgzz:
It won't let me update Chrome throught the Play Store either, it'll start for a split second and then just cancel. Anyways it's not important. I have other bigger questions. I am trying to get an app called App Locale that lets you change the language on a per-app basis and not the entire system, but I am not sure how to install that using LPSosed or Magisk or whatever... all the tutorials online are saying to use Xposed but you mentioned that LSPosed is better but there is no search functionality like Xposed has.

Also, LSPosed shortcut was removed when I installed Nova Launcher. I tried to reinstall LSPosed but it didn't work. Do you know how to get the shortcut on Nova?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] ShayBox:
Never experienced that, hopefully you can figure chrome out.

I believe App Locale 2 might still work https://dl-xda.xposed.info/modules/com.flo354.xposed.applocale_v13_08ea52.apk

You'll have to install it, open it, then go in LSPosed and enable the module, and reboot

You might get a popup when you open the app to enable the module directly

If that doesn't work you could try App Settings instead https://dl-xda.xposed.info/modules/ru.bluecat.android.xposed.mods.appsettings_v20_be4135.apk

If neither of those works, the last option afaik would be removing Riru - LSPosed and installing Riru - edXposed which is more or less a direct clone of xposed instead of a modern replacement that supports xposed modules
[Moto G Stylus 5G] ShayBox:
Oh there's also App Settings Reborn in LSPosed "Repository" page which may work
[Moto G Stylus 5G] ShayBox:
To get the shortcut again use the search bar and hold drag it onto your desktop
[Moto G Stylus 5G] cwgzz:
App Settings Reborn seems like it isn't going to work. I changed the locale of the app I want to change but dammit it isn't working... this kinda infuriates me because I spent so much time trying to root my phone and this **** doesn't even work..
[Moto G Stylus 5G] mingkee:
Here's what you have to do:

1. Bootloader unlocked

2. Reboot the phone in bootloader mode and open RSA on your computer and hook up

3. Get Android Platform Tools and install and locate command prompt there

4. Open RSA and run rescue in order to grab boot.img. Default directory is on the bottom right of the ROM downloading progress window

5. Copy boot.img to your phone and install Magisk (23.0).

6. Patch boot.img with Magisk, and copy the patched_boot.img to host computer

7. Reboot your phone in fastbootd (adb reboot fastboot)

8. Flash patched_boot in fastbootd

9. Download riru and safetynet fix, and let Magisk install them, and enable Magisk Hide and Systemless Hosts (you will reboot 2-3 times)

10. Wipe Play Store and Google Play Services and reboot again

11. Run safetynet check and it should check

12. Should any app detect root, open Magisk and point hide on that app
[Moto G Stylus 5G] jeleniewskim1989:
Is there any prerequisites to do this ie: being on a certain android version or specific build number?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] jpearson82:

[Moto G Stylus 5G] tommy2tones1990:

It's been awhile, so I just want to make sure that this is still the right process (other than the Riru version of safetynetfix being deprecated)?
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
Hi All,

A rather large review of the XPERIA X1 has been published at German Areamobile. Pretty much the first one to go into such depth as they did.

Although the review is originally written in German, thanks to Google all us non-German speaking/reading folks can have a go at it as well. :D

http://translate.google.com/transla...e.de/tests/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_X1/teil_I.php

Major Cons:

1. Flash on the camera is not good.

2. Some panels can take upto 2 to 4 seconds to refresh/load up at times. (He goes on to say in the conclusion that the lag will most likely be improved in a firmware update later)

Some things to note:

1. The reviewer says: "To put it in a nutshell: Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 is faster than HTC Touch Diamond, HTC Touch Pro and Samsung i900 Omnia."

2. He goes on to say: "The touch screen also reacts more sensitive than those competitors." But it is behind Apple iPhone and also HTC Touch HD in terms of screen as well as speed.

Best Regards.
[XPERIA X1 General] samme:
i would say that is true. In other words its the best win mobile phone atm :)
[XPERIA X1 General] Black93300ZX:
I'll probably have to agree with that.
[XPERIA X1 General] Zaim2:
I'm a little baffled how it manages to "outspeed" the Touch pro when they have the same processor and the Pro has more RAM. Is there some aspect of the hardware where they differ that I'm overlooking (did the 128MB of "extra RAM" for the graphics turn out true?)

Or is it more a matter of superior drivers? If so is the possibility of porting Xperia drivers to the Pro open? I'm still see-sawing between Xperia and Touch pro. My initial call was to take the "hit" in inferior screen for far superior Keyboard and TV-out and get a TP along with paying extra for an extended battery, but it seems the more I read the less clear it gets (especially when I see some of the issues the Touch Pro has on its board).

It seems every day I read something that changes my mind, lol.
[XPERIA X1 General] easycure1974:
Buy my Touch Pro - got it back from repaircenter today and ouch - it feels cheap, slow and ugly compared to the Xperia after using the Xperia for some time now :) Was thinking of keeping it as substitute for my Iphone but I don´t even wanna use it anymore :)
[XPERIA X1 General] chalid:
How much? :D
[XPERIA X1 General] pf:
And yes, I only can say it again and again: Why did they do not write they played with a prototype? On the picture without battery one clearly can see (if you know how it is written and easier if you have seen it before): Prototype build PQ2 and the nect line: Prototype not for sale :rolleyes:

I don't know how far the prototype reaches the end-build, but there is written prototype!
[XPERIA X1 General] easycure1974:
I am selling it for 4000:- Swedish kronor with car mount, 8 GB memorycard, two wallchargers and one carcharger :) Hardly used, had it two weeks untill it died and then it took four weeks to get it back from HTC - they really suck on support :)
[XPERIA X1 General] chalid:
Send you a message :-)
[XPERIA X1 General] samme:
Well im pretty sure the graphics ram amount is true because it is faster then the touch pro without a doubt. Just starting up is faster then the touch pro. If not htc/sonyericsson just implemented the hardware better in the x1. Now im just waiting for a proper touchflo 3d release for the x1 then i wont even look at the htc phones for awhile :)
[XPERIA X1 General] Jabe:
For how long has the german version been out?

p.s. and why is it without memory card?
[XPERIA X1 General] Pinguino1:
The review is generally very positive for the Xperia.

But also a few things that are not quite right.

**"Aluminum Contruction". What? All specs call for Steel.

**"No 3D support". That's ridiculous. The Qualcomm chip has one of the best 2d/3d hardware/drivers support in the Industry. Check the video info in qualcomm's data sheet (bit longer to load, please wait....)

http://www.datasheetpro.com/817053_download_MSM7200_datasheet.html

**The panels takes up to 4secs. -- They have a proto with an old ROM. Latest videos feels smooth and quick.

**"Faster than Diamond & Pro." This one I believe them. Why? fine built vs cheap built. For example: same 3.2 mp camera but they explained why Xperia's is better. But definitely what can make a big difference is the better and faster graphics, so apps don't stay iddle while waiting for display to be done. They even compare with iPhone :

..."the highly sensitive touch screen can only be with the Apple iPhone 3G compare."

They praised the bigger keys and better layout of the keyboard. I like that.

I love the final sentence:

..."Thereafter, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1, without doubt to a new reference, to which all others must be measured."...

YEAH!!
[XPERIA X1 General] jackleung:
Are you kidding? And you trust all those BS on the paper? You better do some more research like http://www.htcclassaction.org/. So far, Qualcomm CPU is the worst (compare to Intel Xscale and Samsung) in any 2D/3D benchmark on all the pda I have.

Now that I have my phone 99% running as I want it to run,

Is there a way to replace the stock Dialer (Phone) app with one from a custom (or GSI) ROM?

OR

Is there a good, reliable and free alternative app to have automatic call recording for all calls?

[Sony Xperia 1 III] jaseman:
It depends on where you live. In some countries it is against the law to record phone calls unless you inform the person that they're being recorded.
