It is always great to see these posts.

Has anyone tried this yet?

I'm waiting to see if there is anyone that got this to work on the verizon force droid until i go out and buy it. anyone?

Anyone brave enough to try out on a droid force you'll be doing everyone a favor

I also tried - just for the hell of it - obtaining an unlock code from Motorola. As expected, I received the message that my bootloader is not authorized to be unlocked.

For what it's worth. This device passed all the tests in sunshine, but couldn't get root or temproot to actually unlock. If we could get temproot I think it may be the way in.

Flash TWRP again & boot TWRP before booting Android again. The stock rom tries to replace TWRP but TWRP will fix that on its first boot.

There was trouble with opening bootloader. I used a opening-tool, which said, that the device bootloader is now open - but it wasn´t. Everything´s ok now. I managed bootloader-opening with cmd.exe.

I think this thread should be titled "tested" instead of "untested".... works great! thanks

Hi Rahul, Do you mean I should wait for the marshmallow update to be done and after that I can root or should I wait till the warranty period gets over?

If you root you will be able to get any marshmallow rom that is available for the phone anyway. So don't worry about that nonsense. The warranty however is a different issue. It's all about whether you see the 'risk' as worth it.

Work !!
I root it in ten minute, thanks.

Can it be changed to say 'tested and works great', as it does.

I also have a concern on rooting. I like Moto Display function, so if I root it, I will lose it, so I will not.

How to Root MOTO X PLAY XT1562 Running Android 6.0.1

Hello Moto X Play owners
This guide is for those who still don't figure out how to root moto x play running android 6.0.1(stock Rom)
Old Thread for rooting moto x play is outdated, so decide to write this one with updated steps and links.
As usual I'm not responsible for your bricked device, as Motorola says Unlocking your boot loader is not for the faint of heart. you can't blame anybody but yourself. You will loose your warranty by unlocking your boot loader. and you will loose every data on your phone.
Still want to root your phone, okay fine follow these three steps to root your phone.
They are 3 Steps involved in this process.

3.Download TWRP latest version (do not extract)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=17934

https://download.chainfire.eu/751/SuperSU/

Step 1 : Unlock Bootloader
1. Put your device in fastboot mode (power off, then press the power and volume down buttons simultaneously).
2. Plug in your device to your PC using a USB cable.
3. Head over to the Motorola website to get your unlocking key and follow the steps provided there or follow the same steps provided below.
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
3. Go to the extracted fastboot folder and open a command prompt (ctrl+shift+right click and open command prompt)
4. At the prompt, type
Code:
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
The returned string will be used to retrieve your unlock key.
Example: On a Windows Desktop, the returned string format would be

copy this from the command prompt and paste in a notepad and remove all (bootloader) and make it string like belwo
0A40040192024205#4C4D355631323030373731363031303332323239#BD008A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F951A3E5#1F532800020000000000000000000000

It supposed to work but I got xt1562 so I haven't personally checked this on xt1563 so I can't guarantee that. But in the previous thread people rooted their xt1563 using this method.

Before you can enter the unlock code in Fastboot, you have to enable it in the developer options first.

Better you keep your bootloader locked. There's no point to loose your warranty if you love stock rom.

Bought it in January so I'm almost out of warranty anyway. All I want is Adaway, XposedGEL and system wide icon packs. Extra freedom with tasker would be nice too. I wish Moto/Lenovo would just give us a better idea of when they're rolling N out but I'm sick of waiting. If it's easy enough to lock the bootloader again and get the OTA (I'm happy to wipe the device in the meantime) then I'm going to root this week

We can expect OTA by the end of Dec or Jan. You can restore stock rom for sure but never tried so I can't recommend it.

How do you lock the bootloader

You don't. Is not possible. Unlock is not reversible. It is possible to achieve a relocked state which usually isn't helpful.

I have a strange issue where it's as if SuperSU stops and my root permissions are lost until I reboot. If I open any app that usually requests root through SuperSU it just hangs.
I'm using v2.62 so should I try a later version? Do I need to flash this in twrp or just install within Android or is this a known different problem?

if you are in stock use this:
go to terminal in TWRP - Advanced-Terminal type command in your phone:
Code:
echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu
flash super su and restart your phone.
there is new version 2.79:
Code:

So, this is the updated guide for rooting the Moto X Play, right?
Completely working as of today still?

working but you need updated version twrp 3.0.2-r5 and supersu 2.79. here twrp:
Code:
https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZPF6lZmr0aJ56hbe8rm51jfaaXU5L6O5EV
without systemless command you should use version 2.62-3

Yes, but some comments have issues where will it work with different versions (or updates), as the last update ASUS pushed was around Dec 17/Jan 18 with November 2017 security patch, some of the guides I've tried have failed, or had some issues. Also, some guides tell you to downgrade to marshmallow beta. Anyways, I just thought to do a final guide to root. ?

Obviously, you need an unlocked bootloader to do any modifications! The only issue is, Asus phones don't show whether you have an unlocked bootloader or not. Sometimes the bootloader unlocker fails.

[AIO] [Guide] [Unlock bootloader] [TWRP[ROM Flashing] [Root]

Xiaomi Pocophone F1 [Beryllium]
WARNING: Before attempting to root your device, do note that by unlocking your bootloader and modifying your device with root, ROMs, etc... you are NOT risking voiding your warranty! I am NOT responsible for what you do to your device either, so follow these instructions at your own risk. Make sure you know what you're doing, it's best to understand the process rather than just copy and paste commands and such.
Unlocking the bootloader
You will have to apply for unlocking bootloader for that make sure you do have MI Account if not then create now, Once you are done with then visit here and make sure you use same mi account you have in your phone then wait for 2-3 days. After that download, the latest MI Unlock tool(Shared in download section) Run mi*.exe as admin and simply sign in there as well. Now move to your phone --> Settings app --> About phone --> Tap on MIUI for 6-7 times and you will see "you are a developer now", go back to main settings additional options --> Developer options --> Turn on OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging. Also allow USB Debugging from this PC If you still didn't get simply revoke all and connect usb then in adb type "adb devices", you will see a prompt on your mobile just tick and allow. You will also see an option called as "Mi Unlock status" click on it and click on "Add account and device" Now turn off your phone and go to fastboot mode for that press and hold volume down + power key. You will see "FASTBOOT MODE" on your phone now move to your PC and connect USB. Now once your phone appears in Mi Unlock Tool just click on "Unlock" "It will pop up some prompts" agree with them by clicking "Unlock anyway", It simply means your data will be wiped and warranty will be void! Once that's done it will reach till 99%(In most cases) and will show wait for some hours like for me it said to wait for 72hrs. This may vary user to user. Now once your waiting time is over try again. If it shows press any key to poweroff on your phone when you connect in fastboot then try changing the port or simply reset your device and redo changes that we did (Follow above process again as USB debugging will be off by default, reset ) Now you are done with unlocking the bootloader let's move to TWRP
Flashing TWRPThis is one of easiest step, just open cmd in adb folder and type following codes :
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Code:
fastboot flash recovery *your recovery name.img
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
We are done with flashing TWRP now let's move to encryption issues!
DFE
Now this is most critical. If you skip you will have to flash stock ROM again so don't mess here!
Download vendor image, dfe, your favorite custom ROM, Gapps, Magisk(Everything mentioned in the download section
Boot into TWRP --> Wipe --> Format data! Reboot to recovery from TWRP menu and flash DFE. Now, go to system and setup MIUI and then come back to TWRP for flashing your favorite custom ROM. Now in TWRP --> Wipe --> Advance wipe choose system, data, dalvik & cache --> Swipe to wipe. Now copy those files to your Sdcard. Then go back to main TWRP page and choose --> Install, Now follow the order of flashing these files(most important)
* Flash vendor image i.e beryllium-9.4.8-9.0-vendor-firmware.zip(This is optional if you had latest MIUI ROM then you can skip this)
* Flash ROM & Gapps
* Flash DFE i.e DisableForceEncryption.zip
* Flash Magisk(up to you, only if you want root)
* Reboot
Enjoy! You are done with it. Yea.. ik Download section is mentioned below!
Here's a quick tip always flash DFE whenever you update ROM as the vendor might be changed, This will ensure the safe running of the device!

Download section :
* Mi Unlock Tool
* TWRP(official)
* Vendor image
* DFE
Enjoy!

You can't have the cake and eat it too!
By flashing Magisk, you modify /system and you lose the ability to receive and flash OTA.
AFAIK, there is no official TWRP version which can handle OTAs. The unofficial ones were created for specific purposes and so they fail in some other respect.

Thank you very much bro

Why its so complicated on poco ? my last phone was mi a1 it was super easy to unlock bl , twrp and root
now i have poco and came here to check rooting and other stuff then shocked by these complications ?

I'm in MIUI stable now and whenever I try to connect my phone in fastboot mode to the mi unlock tool, it automatically exists fastboot mode and I get a black screen with a message, "press any key to shutdown".
Is that normal?
MI unlock has also not been able to detect my phone. I wonder what's wrong.

With new Mi account? Or with this one? Please help , and sorry for my bad English

Root Guide

Found this while trolling through the Chinese forums, none of this is my work, I have translated the instructions as best I can.
Disclaimers; I have not tried this, it may brick the global rom, the custom recovery is likely only in Chinese language.
You need:
Boot Loader unlock code (currently probably not possible to get)
Huawei USB drivers
Recovery image (attached)
Magisk package (attached)
files: https://mega.nz/#!PM0EmYLA!384hZjmJ9ExNc7Q8rSqssHunWSO7AxQ3GA4qet6RX4E
Extract files to a folder, open command prompt and change into this folder.
Unlock bootloader (BL unlock will clear the phone data, please do a backup)
- Obtain an official unlock code
- double-click to open the "Huawei Toolbox.exe"
- click "unlock bootloader "
- enter the unlock code in the pop up window , click OK, and wait for the phone to unlock complete restart.
Flash the third-party recovery
- Turn off the phone and connect the computer. Press and hold the “Volume Down” button and “Power button” until the phone displays the android page and release your finger.
- open command prompt and run:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img
- after seeing the two OKAY feedback from the command line, the flash is successful.
Enter recovery to flash root image (this step will clear all data of the mobile phone including memory card, please make a backup in advance)
- long press “Volume Up” and “Power” ", until you see the a twrp logo, release the keys and wait to enter recovery mode
- After entering recovery, click the second item “Clear”, click “Format Data Partition” in the lower left corner, slide the slider to enter the clear, wait for the progress bar to complete
- Return to the recovery homepage, click on the last item "Advanced", select the last item "Remove data forced encryption", slide the slider to release, wait for completion
Copy the root package to the phone
- In Command Prompt type or copy the following commands
adb push magisk-installer.zip /sdcard
adb push magisk.apk /sdcard
Install Image
- Whilst still in recovery mode, click the first item to install the magisk-installer.zip package from the sdcard , slide the slider to install, wait for the flash to complete, and restart the phone
- After reboot is complete, click “File Manager”, select the apk file “magisk.apk” just copied from the memory card when install is finished, open the magisk app and click “No, thank you” in the pop-up window
- Return to the command line tool, type the code to execute, and wait for the phone to automatically restart
Fastboot reboot recovery
- after the restart, open "magisk", it should show that the installation is complete, that is, ROOT is achieved.

That is actually what I was looking for
But none, problem is the v20 (china version) seems to get OTA way before us, they all got v143 2 weeks ago.
I did find the menu to do it, but it only supports if the image is stored on an sdcard, and when I click it it says no sdcard found. so its impossible.

Tried same with similar results. One day eh? ?

İ have V20 chinese version. İ want to root but could not find a way. Can you share the chinese forum maybe i can find how to unlock bootloader

If you read what I wrote in the first post you would see you cannot root without a bootloader unlock code.

Nice! Did unlocking bootloader factory reset your device?

Yes of course. All new Huawei and Honor do a reset after unlocking

i get bootloader unlock code from funkiehuwai for 20$
any one tried this instructions and have success?
I just wonder comments below will work?
*adb push magisk-installer.zip /sdcard
*adb push magisk.apk /sdcard
because there is no sd card support for view20?
when i opened huawei-toolbox.exe its in chinese and im afraid to continue other instructions

Did anyone use TWRP and which version?
Did the View 20 Boot correctly?
I read in a Forum, that with the view 20 doesn´t boot correctyl with TWRP. The reason should bei the Storage...

Does that mean you rooted you device (with the files from above) or you just unlocked the bootloader?
I was able to unlock my bootloader with a code from funkyhuawei (about 18 €, site seems to be down currently). I did not use the unlock tool above, mainly because its chinese
- Enabled "USB debugging" and "OEM unlock" in developer settings
- Connected phone to PC, opened adb and used "adb reboot bootloader"
- Unlocked via "fastboot oem unlock *16digit code*"
This worked out fine. However, as far as i understand it magisk is installed over twrp (recovery_ramdisk), removing twrp but granting you root. This makes me kind of nervous since twrp has been a nice safety net on several occasions. This is why I stopped after unlocking the bootloader. Maybe someone has more experience on this? Why is there so little interest in rooting this phone?
Regards

root achieved
I don't know if nobody's interested or nobody wants to try rooting this phone. However, I just went ahead and tried it. I used this guide: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#emui-9 (posted in https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-view-20/help/root-t3900266). https://androidhost.ru/search.html is were I got the firmware from (posted in https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-view-20/how-to/honor-view-20-ota-march-patch-t3909075/page12). I downloaded the 9.0.1.137 firmware, since this corresponds to the one currently installed on my phone.
In summary:
I extracted recovery_ramdis.img from the update.app with the huawei extractor. In order to see this image file, I had to uncheck "verify header checksum" under settings->extract.
I then transferred this file to my phone (download folder), downloaded newest magisk manager and installed it. I then pushed INSTALL next to magisk (which was not installed of course), Install again and then Patch boot image file. Choose your transferred recovery_ramdis.img and go ahead. Transfer patched file (now called patched_boot.img) back to PC.
For the next step, bootloader has to be unlocked already! Turn on "Enable OEM unlock" and "USB debugging" in the developer options and reboot to fastboot. Open ADB as usual and connect cable to phone. Type "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk *path to patched_boot.img*" and wait for success.
A few things to keep in mind:
-Had a bootloop with the newest version of the viper4android module!
-The root was done without custom recovery, therefore a magisk module leading to a bootloop requires you to factory reset and do everything again if you want root to work (at least i couldn't get it to work again by reflashing orginial recovery_ramdis.img followed by patched_boot.img).
-For rooting to work you have to boot phone to recovery (in this case resulting in a "normal boot"). This means pressing volume up and holding it when booting the phone. For restart you could use an app which lets you boot to recovery automatically.
-While the above my sound annoying, permanently gives you the chance to boot you phone unrooted. This is nice, especially when you have a bootloop due to a magisk module (which I had).
-According to the first link, you could install a custom recovery into the second recovery partition of Huawei/Honor devices (erecovery_ramdis). there is no official twrp available for Honor View 20 at the moment.
-After unlocking my bootloader (see post above) I had "device not verified" in google play store. After rooting, my device is verified again

I don't know if nobody's interested or nobody wants to try rooting this phone. However, I just went ahead and tried it. I used this guide: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#emui-9 (posted in https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-view-20/help/root-t3900266). https://androidhost.ru/search.html is were I got the firmware from (posted in https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-view-20/how-to/honor-view-20-ota-march-patch-t3909075/page12). I downloaded the 9.0.1.137 firmware, since this corresponds to the one currently installed on my phone.
In summary:
I extracted recovery_ramdis.img from the update.app with the huawei extractor. In order to see this image file, I had to uncheck "verify header checksum" under settings->extract.
I then transferred this file to my phone (download folder), downloaded newest magisk manager and installed it. I then pushed INSTALL next to magisk (which was not installed of course), Install again and then Patch boot image file. Choose your transferred recovery_ramdis.img and go ahead. Transfer patched file (now called patched_boot.img) back to PC.
For the next step, bootloader has to be unlocked already! Turn on "Enable OEM unlock" and "USB debugging" in the developer options and reboot to fastboot. Open ADB as usual and connect cable to phone. Type "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk *path to patched_boot.img*" and wait for success.
A few things to keep in mind:
-Had a bootloop with the newest version of the viper4android module!
-The root was done without custom recovery, therefore a magisk module leading to a bootloop requires you to factory reset and do everything again if you want root to work (at least i couldn't get it to work again by reflashing orginial recovery_ramdis.img followed by patched_boot.img).

You're welcome Be careful with sound improvement modules in Magisk! Had another bootloop with the Zirene module...
Which firmware did you get the recovery_ramdisk from in the end?

I get recovery-ramdisk from firmware PCT-AL10 9.0.1.129 . my phone is on version 9.0.1.144 but it worked:good:

After root i can not auto update software. 9.0.1.166 version is seen on ota but after download it says update is unsuccessful. Do you have any suggestion?

I think thats to be expected when rooted. Go for manual update I guess (https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-view-20/how-to/honor-view-20-ota-march-patch-t3909075/page12). Personally I wouldn't bother with every update unless theres interesting new features and/or security updates. just to be on the safe side I would reflash the original recovery_ramdisk before updating! And backup your data!

Hello !
Unless I'm mistaken, the View20 must be able to use nano sd cards (NM Card)
