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

Why not? You can get the better system, called CyanogenMod . And after i tested my phone for 3 weeks i dont need warrenty. Works perfect, and cm 12.1 with a new kernel is fantastic.

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.

That's a function of the ROM. I'm rooted with a custom recovery and stock ROM, and still have it.

[Guide] Unlocking the Mi4c Bootloader without verification by Xiaomi

This evening I had the same problem like many of you and I just did not want to wait 2-3 weeks for the unlock code from Xiaomi. I went through a lot of threads and different forums to create this guide.
Requirements
- ADB up and running (I am an Android developer, so I have this installed already - unsure if you need specific ADB drivers for Xiaomi devices though)
- Xiaomi MI4c
- MiFlash: http://bigota.d.miui.com/tools/MiPhone20151028.exe (via http://en.miui.com/a-234.html) - Install
- Mi4c Image: libra_images_6.1.7_20151221.0000.11_5.1_cn_b09dac70a0.tgz - unpack until "images" directory is visible!
- [Optional] Mi4c Fastboot Image: miui_MI4c_6.1.21_d1d054460d_5.1.zip
- [Optional] Latest TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4c/development/libra-twrp-3-0-t3315059
- [Optional] Latest build of CM 12.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4c/development/cm12-1-build-cyanogenmod-12-1-device-t3291631
Step-by-step
Step 1 is optional: I was not sure, if I could use the "fastboot oem edl" command in a higher version of MIUI... feedback required. Thus following is a list of known Xiaomi ROMs which support this procedure:
If you are using one of the following ROM versions, you should be able to unlock the device easily with the provided guide. However, I have messages that the versions don't work with higher MIUI ROM versions.
CONFIRMED WORKING
V8.6.9.15 MIUI Dev ROM
V8.0.16.0 MIUI Dev ROM
V7.5.4.0
V7.5.3.0.LXKCNDE
V7.1.4.0.LXKCNCK
V6.1.21 (Download link above)
V6.3.24
V6.3.17
V6.4.21
V6.4.14
V6.5.26
V6.8.25
V6.9.15 (China Dev)
Not confirmed (?)
None
Not working
None
(Optional) Downgrade your Mi4c by flashing any image from the list above via the "Updater" app (use top right icon to select image).
Reboot into fastboot mode (Power + Vol Down) until you see the MIUI rabbit and "FASTBOOT"
Command: fastboot oem edl (this brings your device in a kind of emergency recovery state) -> the device does only show a black screen. Do the next step.
Use MiFlash to flash 6.1.7 image (Browse -> select the "images" directory of the 6.1.7 package and start flashing)
When completed, reboot the phone by holding the Power button long (~8s)
Wait until 6.1.7 is completely loaded (this may take a while)
Reboot into fastboot mode (Power + Vol Down)
Command: fastboot oem unlock -> at this point you should have an unlocked bootloader
Now optionally install TWRP and subsequently CM 12.1 and enjoy (see respective linkes in the requirements for a howto) - TWRP: fastboot flash recovery <twrp>.img
With this post, I want to say thank you to all the developers who take their time to port Cyanogen to exotic Android devices. You are heroes!
In case you want to donate me something: https://paypal.me/wolkenjaeger

Great post.
Very detailed explanation.
Very usefull.

could i back to miui rom after installed CM rom

Click to expand...

Yes you can, as you see the CM is optional, you can choose any rom of your liking.
Be warned that any of the latest official Miui roms will lock your bootloader right back and if you have TWRP in place, you will bootloop.
Xiaomi.eu or sMiui highly recommended alternatives if you want to go with miui.
Great step by step tutorial, worth a sticky imo since more and more people coming here will be locked in the future.

I did unlock the bootloader using the guide and it works.
Step 1 Downgrade your Mi4c by flashing the 6.1.21 image via the "Updater" app (use top right icon to select image) is not necessary .
Also all data will be wiped.

Thanks for the feedback. Did you "EDL" flash from the latest stable / dev version?

Not working for me. I'm Unable to flash 6.1.7 from update from 6.3.10. When I send command: fastboot oem edl phone reboots and then I am unable to glash with MiPhone. :crying:

don't let en.MIUI rom boot after you install twrp. because it will reinstall the stock recovery over the twrp recovery. In fact, you have to go directly to twrp after flashing it, and try MIUI.eu or other CM roms.

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.
1, Unlocking the Bootloader
2, install custom recovery
3, Install Super SU
Before you begin
A. Back up all your data. yes you gonna loose entire stuffs on your phone.
B. Download all the required files from the below links
1.Download and install Motorola USB Drivers
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
2.Download Fast boot and extract it to your hard drive (file attached on this thread)
3.Download TWRP latest version (do not extract)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=17934
4. Download Super SU V. 2.62-3 (do not extract)
https://download.chainfire.eu/751/SuperSU/
Now you are ready to begin
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
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
(bootloader) 0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230
(bootloader) 30373731363031303332323239#BD00
(bootloader) 8A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F95
(bootloader) 1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000
(bootloader) 0000000
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
5. Check if your device can be unlocked by pasting this string in the field below, and clicking “Can my device be unlocked?”
If your device is unlockable, a "REQUEST UNLOCK KEY" button will now appear at the bottom of this page and agree the terms and condition and check your mail box for unlock key
6. copy your unlock code from mail and type the following command to unlock bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem unlock KEY
replace unlock key with your copied code from mail. Now you will see a unlocked message on your device and your device will reboot. you will see a unlocked bootloader warning with vibration on your phone and you are successfully unlocked your bootloader.
Step 02 Installing custom recovery TWRP
7.Put your device in fastboot mode again (power off, then press the power and volume down buttons simultaneously).
8.Type in the following command into the Command Prompt Window and Enter.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-lux-3.0.2-r3.img

9. Now restart your device using keys in your phone to recovery (make sure your are rebooting in to recovery)
10.When prompted allow twrp to make changes. And make a back up of your system from the twrp menu
(do not choose read only, if you choose read only android will erase your recovery next time you reboot and you can not root your phone.)
Step 03 Rooting your phone using Super SU V. 2.62-3
warning : make sure you have a back up of your current system copied to your hard disk or else you can't restore your device if something went wrong.

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:

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

FOR SAT AND SS2- OFFICIAL BASED ROMS (FOR OST) (for unbricking and downgrading. incl 9008 mode) :

@ SAT 127E_CN ROM flashing "from box" and unbricking via OST

RECOVERY:
There is no universal recovery, cos each version of rom include different kernel builds, if we use one twrp version (with for example version of 135E), wifi will work only in 135E and F versions.
So better wait for Oreo updates custom rom finals that will use same kernel and vendor versions.

BOOTLOADER UNLOCK:
@C10 Bootloader unlock guide
@SS2/SAT Bootloader unlock (if you have unlockcode.bin)
1. Get installed ADB/Fastboot driversand cmd - you can use OST portable (above)
2. Enable Developer optionsin android and usb debugging. Reset phone to fastboot (downloadmode) by "adb reboot bootloader" or by buttons combination..whatever.
3. Cpy unlockkey.bin to fastboot folder and type" fastboot flash unlock unlockkey.bin". You should have response "OK".
4. use fastboot-android.exe from SUT (OST portable folder). Type command " fastboot-android flashing unlock_critical". If its ok - phone screen should give a message about Bootloader unlock.
5. Enter fastboot again (download mode) and type" fastboot flash unlock unlockkey.bin". You should have response "OK".
6. Type command " fastboot oem unlock-go". If its ok - phone screen should give a message about Bootloader unlock.
7. Now you can use my OST nb0 roms to flash via SUT.
@SS2/SAT Bootloader unlock (for Android 7.1)
Download and extract attached zip (SS2- Sharp_ss2_boot_unlock_files.zip, SAT -Sharp_sat_boot_unlock_files.zip) . Manage to run windows cmd. Adb and fastboot drivers installed as mandatory,
1. Enter fastboot mode: connect usb, power off prone or restart same time pressing VOLUP + POWER, on Logo release power button. You have to see "Download mode" on screen (same thing you can do it from android with adb command: "adb reboot bootloader")
2. First of all check if you have tryes left in device-type:
"fastboot.exe oem cert_timecount get"
When is 0 you will be not able to unlock (unless you make changes) so STOP HERE! and visit here
if >0 then go to step 2.
2. Enter cmd in console: "fastboot getvar productid" -> you will get 16 digits serial number
3. Convert serial number to md5 hash ( you can to here https://www.md5hashgenerator.com/)
4. Enter cmd in console: "fastboot oem dm-verity [md5 hash generated from serial number (without quotes)]-> you should see "OK" response if you done it ok.
5. Flash this bootloader. Enter cmd in console: "fastboot flash abl unlock.elf"
6. Reboot to download mode again - enter cmd: "fastboot reboot-bootloader"
7. After reboot, enter in cmd:"fastboot oem unlock" - Get screen with unlocking!
8. Get unlock to flash critical (bootloader) partitions: "fastboot oem unlock_critical" - now you can use fastboot flash abl (or xbl) files.
Note: after accepting unlock popup on screen all data on phone will be erased!!!
When you have unlocked device repeat step 2 with commands
"fastboot.exe oem cert_timecount set 100"
I recommend to type above command each time you use fastboot, because each command used in fastboot makes this value less than before, and if it reaches 0, you will be not able to do anithing with most oem commands
You can relock bootloader anytime by cmd: fastboot oem lock
Happy rooting!

Stop pushing. Be patient.
Before, bootloader needs to be unlocked. I dont have device now, but another guy will write an automated script for this procedure.
As soon is done, there will be manual for unlocking, then comes rooting.

It's so wonderful to see root on sharp s2!
That would make this phone more powerful!!

This is great! Any chance we will be able to unlock the 6/128GB (SAT) version, too?

There is need loader for this version of phone, very small chance 0,01 % we find it.
But unbricking from 9008 is possible! (not with attached files) have to do.

[Q/H] Safety way to Unlock Bootloader + Flash Recovery + Root

Hello dear XDA surfers, today I asked for unlock code from official Xiaomi Mi Unlock page and what i want to...
So.. I'm goin to be much much happy for any advices here, thank you. x)
1th:
Is there some way to BACKUP STOCK ROM w/ Locked BL No-Root please?
If YES, please tell me prep. steps how to do.
2nd:
Lets suppose we have done 1th step (if possible) and we go to make our POCO X3 NFC to be unlocked..
We will need :
#MiUnlockTool
Xiaomi Official Link
#USBDriver
Xiaomi Official Link
#MinimalADB&Fastboot
XDA Official Link
#Magisk
XDA Official Link
#MagiskManager
XDA Official Link
#Recovery
XDA Official Link
#DmVerityDisable
Direct DL from AFH
___If we have all that items lets prepare the phone.
3rd:
Enable Develop Settings on phone:
Settings - About - Tap several times on the Build Number = Enabled
Go to Extended options - Developer settings - Enable OEM & USB Debug
Now we should be ready to boot in Fastboot ( Vol Down +Power) then insert usb cable, wai ting for successful boot.
Restart the phone and again check if OEM & USB Debug are ENABLED
4th:
Flashing custom recovery with CMD commands:
Enter Fastboot holding VolumeDown+Power
Connect USB Cable
Launch Adb&Fastboot CMD or PowerShell
The commands:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
It should say 'OKAY' than we should exit fastboot holding VolDown+Power to Exit
When screen goin off immediately? press VolUp+Power to enter TWRP
5th:
Now we are in TWRP Menu, should to - Wipe Data/Factory Reset & Advanced Wipe - Cache Data
Next we will flash Disable VmVerify.zip then flash Magisk.zip
If success, can to reboot and check if phone is rooted.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This is my theory based on experiences with other drivers to unlock, but first i need verification from you guys
Please feel free to correct me in any of this steps if i wrong or share correct working way to do, thanks.
