This doesn't work... if you just flash the latest SuperSU in TWRP, a 3rd/4th Gen Moto device will fail to boot because SuperSU's install script does not recognize that this device must have a systemless install. You must start TWRP and before flashing go to Advanced - Terminal and enter "echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu" so the SuperSU install script will parse the file and know it has to do a systemless install.

I was also facing the same problem First of all u need to unlock bootloader then at bootloader "fastboot boot recovery.img" change your name twrp to recovery after that you will gets boot into twrp from there flash https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087018189 this file
Hit like if I'm helped you

I followed all the steps of unlocking the bootloader using AdB and Fastboot. After I enter my unique key it sends some commands rather than showing that the device is unlocked.

I have unlocked the bootloader and flashed twrp now. It opened the twrpmode.i booted the fone.But after that while opening the recovery mode in fastboot it is showing 'no command'

If you are getting "No command" that is not TWRP, it is the factory recovery...
When you install TWRP with `fastboot flash recovery twrp.img` you must start TWRP, allow it to make changes to the system, then go to TWRP's reboot menu and select Reboot to Recovery. This action will permanently set TWRP as the recovery, otherwise the OS has a script which will restore the stock recovery on boot.
Proper way to flash TWRP, in my opinion, on a new (to TWRP) Moto device once the bootloader is unlocked:
1) fastboot boot twrp.img
2) do NOT tick "Never show this screen again on boot" and select Keep Read Only button
3) do a complete backup in TWRP, preferably to the microSD card. Make a copy of this backup and store it away safely for possible future use and keep a copy on the device if possible
4) reboot into bootloader
5) fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
6) start Recovery (TWRP)
7) tick "Never show this screen again on boot" and swipe to allow modification
8) go to Reboot and select Recovery **IMPORTANT** this step allows TWRP to "lock" itself in and prevent the OS from replacing it with the stock recovery again
9) TWRP should start again, and it should not prompt you at all and just go to the TWRP menu
10) Do what you wish in TWRP (flash SuperSU, install ROM, or whatever) if anything
11) Reboot - System
Replace twrp.img with the appropriate filename from http://twrp.me for the device. If you have already made changes to the system, just start at step #4

I've seen these steps a few times (OK, many times, with all the threads started on this exact question).
I'm just curious.. Why does it work? i.e. How is rebooting into TWRP without installing it, then immediately turning around, installing it, and running it... how is that different from just installing it first thing and running it? Like, what's going on internally that makes those two things different?
Thanks x

OK... Booting TWRP without installing has nothing to do with functionality of TWRP, it is only to get a clean backup or if you want to root without installing TWRP. TBH, this entire piece is optional and could be skipped, but if you can get a clean backup it sure can makes things easier down the road.
When you flash TWRP, it is flashed... it is written into the recovery partition of your device, but if you start the operating system at this point there is a script (or something, going from my memory of the Nexus 4 which has a script that sat in /system that ran on each boot, so this has been an issue for a while in some devices) that re-writes the recovery it isn't "official". But, but flashing TWRP, allowing it to make changes, then rebooting into TWRP again, it gives TWRP a chance to do something that stops the restoring to official process to stop. I am not sure of the specific details, and I am not sure it really matters, but it works.

[Guide] Unlock Bootloader, Get Root and Flash TWRP Recovery

Warning: This guide is a WiP and is NOT complete. DO NOT FOLLOW THIS GUIDE UNTIL THIS MESSAGE IS REMOVED.
You will require ADB and Fastboot installed on your computer.
First you will need to send a private message to the_lazer with your IMEI and Serial Number and they will give you a key to unlock the bootloader.
Wherever you see KEY in this guide replace that with the key you got given.
Second you will need to download Magisk from here, rename that file to
Code:
magisk.zip
Then download the TWRP.img from here.
If the touch screen doesn't work on TWRP then press the power button so the screen sleeps and then press it again so it wakes up and it should work.
Make sure your device has "Enable OEM Bootloader Unlocking" enabled in settings.
Plug your device into your computer and turn the device off.
Hold the power and volume up buttons, if it has a menu where reboot to bootloader or fastboot is a option then do that.
Once in fastboot mode on your computer run:
Code:
fastboot oem key KEY
fastboot oem unlock
Press the volume up button on the phone and it should unlock successfuly.
Once that is done you will need to run:
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP.img
Note that you should NOT flash twrp yet as it will give "red state" error and prevent your device from booting.
Then once in TWRP if it asks for a password then click cancel. If that doesn't work then press the power button and then press it again so the screen sleeps and wakes up then swipe to unlock and click cancel again.
Swipe to allow modifications then click Advanced and then ADB Sideload and swipe.
Next run
Code:
adb sideload magisk.zip
and it will flash magisk.
Magisk will provide root and patch the bootloader so it will still boot past the "orange state" screen.
Next go back twice and click Reboot and then Bootloader.
Then on your computer run
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
That will now flash TWRP.
The reason you need to flash TWRP after you have flashed magisk is because magisk is required to patch the bootloader so that it will actualy boot.
Then run
Code:
fastboot reboot
and you should eventualy reboot to android, give it about 30mins to boot just to be safe.
Then install Magisk Manager from
Code:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
.
You should now have a working rooted Nokia 3 which uses Magisk.
TODO: Add troubleshooting section and steps to follow if something goes wrong.

Any feedback? Does anyone want to pm me and try it safely?

Runs flawlessly and doesn't crash or bootloop.
However if you enable a magisk module which causes a bootloop then you would have to factory reset the device unless /data is decrypted in which case you can just delete the folder the magisk module is located in. I will add to the guide instructions on how to have a decrypted /data partitionlater.

if flashing doesn't work, use this command: fastboot boot recovery.img
You will boot to twrp successfully but you need to do this every time when you want twrp.

I followed your guide step by step but when rebooting after TWRP flash, the phone does not boot into system. No matter how i try to reboot the android logo pop up with orange state and the next thing is TWRP loading. I can boot into bootloader, so i tried flashing magisk and TWRP again, but no success. Any help would be appreciated

I will try this method the next time I get an ota update. Wasn't sure if it was the superSU or the xposed that was causing the errors. After this update i've confirmed it's the SU.
I've never used magisk before. Hope it won't conflict with xposed

I recommend not using SuperSu.
You can however install magisk and then use magisk manager to install a systemless xposed.
Just don't use the official regular xposed or your device won't boot.

I haven't used magisk before, but I was under the opinion that you didn't need to sideload or flash supersu once you've sideloaded magisk. Maybe you need to read up on activating root with magisk

Twrp touchscreen not working.

First time trying to root, in order to install magisk and to get the full functionality of Edge sense +.
I was following this guide:
www-DOT-theandroidsoul-DOT-com/htc-u11-root-twrp-recovery-and-bootloader-unlock/
1. I have successfully unlocked bootloader
2. I have installed twrp
After some research, i think i made a mistake here, by installing twrp-3.1.1-0-ocn instead of the 3.2.1.2-ocn.
When booting to recovery mode, TWRP shows up, it asks for a password or to swipe the screen, but the screen is not responsive.
So i tried to flash the newest version of TWRP on top of the old one and i get this error :
PS C:\Users\ilan\Desktop\unlock-bl> fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (39676 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.137s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Not allowed on PRODUCTION device)
finished. total time: 1.145s
PS C:\Users\ilan\Desktop\unlock-bl>
How should i proceed?
I thought about going to stock recovery and then try to flash the new version of TWRP, but i didnt do a recovery. I have found that there is a way to recover to stock using something called RRU.
Help will b amazingly appreciated, tnx in advance

U may have already resolved..had same issue. Need to reboot directly to recovery and not via DL menu...then do Install Twrp Image file. Boot phone then if u can reboot directly to recovery go that route. If not try via Cmd Prompt...adb reboot recovery. Either way Twrp screen should be respnsive so u can flash Twrp img.

This is partially true. If anyone expierience touch screen not working in TWRP after following this tutorial: "theandroidsoul.com htc-u11-root-twrp-recovery-and-bootloader-unlock" - problem is, that old version of TWRP is linked there. You HAVE to download version 3.2 not 3.1 ->eu.dl.twrp.me/ocn/twrp-3.2.1-2-ocn.img.html
when touch screen is not working, use "adb reboot" and then "fastboot flash recovery twrp3.2.img"
it works for me

Windows hint:
For all what you want to do with your Motorola phone, you need the above provided Minimal ADB/Fastboot environment.
Download and extract it,
Move the files you want to flash into the folder
Open CMD (Windows Key and R - then type cmd) and navigate into the extracted folder.
//It's easier when you type cd into the cmd and drag the folder from your adb/fastboot environment into the cmd window and hit enter.
And that's it. The patched boot image is no longer needed.
Rooting the Moto G6
1. Boot into fastboot mode (Vol - and Power simultaneously) and connect it to your computer
2. Open Terminal (Linux)/CMD (Windows) and go into the folder where your recovery image lies.
3. Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and use the volume keys on your phone to select "recovery mode", when finished.
4. If it asks for a password hit cancel, go to wipe, data wipe and confirm it with yes. Then reboot again into recovery.
5. Repeat the wiping and reboot another time into recovery.
6. Connect your phone to your Computer while in recovery and copy magisk and dm-verity disabler to your phone.
7. Go to Install and flash dm-verity disabler first, then magisk.
Thats it. You're rooted.
Update/Go back to Stock.
//Download the stock rom you want to use and extract it to your Desktop.
//Latest ROM (Android 9) is ALI_RETAIL_9.0_PPS29.55-24_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
1. Go into recovery mode (twrp), choose wipe - wipe data and confirm with yes.
2. Back to the wipe main screen, advanced wipe and hit everything.
3. Wipe it two times.
4. Boot into download mode and connect your phone to your computer.
5. Open Terminal or CMD in the folder of your stock firmware and hit the following commands (hint: it's easier to use a bash/batch file):
Code:
fastboot erase userdata

So... When do you tell people about installing ADB and fastboot? Moto drivers? Ya skipped some stuff dude.

For my own experience it worked without moto drivers. On Windows 7 and Windows 10 testing systems.
Personally I use Arch, which natively supports adb and fastboot, provided by the android-tools package.
But thank you for your hint, I added it.

No, Magisk is patching the stock boot.img, which is already on your device.
The patched images are not needed anymore for Magisk.

Can't get root
The install by the instructions went perfectly but I can't get root. I did one thing differently than on the root instructions and I think I did it correctly, where you have;
Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and use the volume keys on your phone to select "recovery mode", when finished.
I did "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-ali.img" which I thought you meant because stock recovery would already be installed or am I missing something here. I followed all the rest of the instructions perfectly and everything seemed to wipe reboot and install fine but when I boot back into android I don't have root. In fact I tried it four times and never got root. Do you have any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks for any help but I do have Android 9 running just fine. I'd like to get this rooted rather than go back to 8 because it seems to run so much better.

Of course on Linux no drivers are needed. But most running Linux don't need instructions. It's usually windows users needing such instructions.
That's the only reason I chimed in.
Carry on.
Nice guide.

If you Change major OS Version, you always need a clean Flash and rerooting.

I would change official TWRP to Dejello's unofficial TWRP as official one won't install Gapps

Hi ppl, sorry for that questions, I make a lot of roots, on mine Samsung S3, Sony ZQ, and many other, But in last times I dont make it with magisk.... so someone can explain some things for me?
First work on XT1925-3? 4/64gb variant?
TWRP is need or only ADB? I just want to make only by adb...
If its okay now:
1. Boot into fastboot mode (Vol - and Power simultaneously) and connect it to your computer
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
>> Here is ok,
2. Open Terminal (Linux)/CMD (Windows) and go into the folder where your recovery image lies.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
>> Here is ok too
3. Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and use the volume keys on your phone to select "recovery mode", when finished.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
>> Here is ok too, similar to flash my Sony
4. If it asks for a password hit cancel, go to wipe, data wipe and confirm it with yes. Then reboot again into recovery.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
>> I belive if I have pass on phone? if I remove the phone only need a reboot in recovery?
5. Repeat the wiping and reboot another time into recovery.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
>> The phone will be need a wipe two wipes? or only one?
6. Connect your phone to your Computer while in recovery and copy magisk and dm-verity disabler to your phone.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
>> Here is mine question, the phone wont wakeup for now, but in recovery mode will be open folder to that? I remeber on my S3 in twrp I mount the storage to acess, in ADB method is same?
7. Go to Install and flash dm-verity disabler first, then magisk.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
>> Okay, install DM, after that, wakeup phone, and after that flash magisk? Magisk maneger is same thing? So, is Flash DM > reboot into recovery or wakeup? after, flash magisk, reboot again? install magisk maneger?
So, sorry for that all questions, and if I trade some words, I have dyslexia and I'm backing to root world after a long time.

Here are the steps I use to flash/root my wifes Moto G6 xt1925-6 (pie)
1. Make sure dev options are on and usb debugging is on.
2. adb reboot bootloader
3. Extract the image file directly into the same directory as adb and fastboot.
4. Launch cmd as admin, CD to the directory where adb and fastboot is.
5. via CMD launch flash_all.bat which will run through and do all the flashing of the necessary parts.
6. I actually did the first time setup, making sure usb debugging is on again and also making sure I dont have any pw or security enabled.
7. adb reboot bootloader.
8. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
9. fastboot flash boot no-verity_boot.img
10. boot into twrp and then format, I did a Format data, then a factory data reset.
11. back in twrp copy magisk over to phone, and install via twrp
12. reboot system and it should boot up again.
13. make sure to do first time setup and enable usb debugging and make sure magisk manager is installed, updated, and configured how you want it.
14. I usually do core only mode, magisk hide, and also hide the magisk manager package via the settings. under general settings.

Stuck on Booting screen
Unlocked bootloader on Moto G6 xt1925-6 RETUS. Loaded TWRP fine. Did factory reset twice to remove data encryption. Installed Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.28.19.zip followed by Magisk 18.1.zip. Boots back to recovery fine but stays at boot screen when booting to system.
Any suggestions.
Stephen

On top of using the disabler download and flash the no verity boot.img from the link below. Works great on my xt1925-6 with pie.
Also, use Magisk 19.0

[SOLVED]Oneplus 7 stuck in fastbootmode after trying to restore a backup from TWRP

My bootloader is unlocked, I was rooted with Magisk and i had twrp recovery installed as well. A few modules were installed and i had made a backup about 3 weeks ago. Yesterday i tried restoring the backup in twrp and it seemed to restore properly without errors . When i pressed reboot in the end the phone went to the fastboot mode screen and has since been there. All i can do is turn it off and regardless of what i pick, (START, Restart Bootloader, Recovery mode) it just starts into fastboot mode. Confused as to what i should do now and why this happened in the first place. All the threads i found were only for the 7 pro so i didnt want to risk anything by following those. Please advice on what i should do.
Edit : The problem was solved by flashing the STOCK ROM for android 9 which is what i was on when the device was softbricked.

hi
Hi, download adb fastboot and twrp recovery image for guacamoleb. then open a new command prompt (CMD) in the same location and run the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery (file name of twrp that you download).img
after that by holding volume up + power reboot to twrp recovery that you just installed via adb fastboot command.
when you enter on twrp recovery, install twrp recovery zip, and magisk 19.3 zip (download and copy on phone storage first, after you enter on twrp when reboot, you can connect your phone with computer or USB that contain twrp recovery zip and magisk or copy to phone storage) after this step install twrp zip first than magisk and then reboot.
i hope i helped.

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately i am stuck in the very first step. After typing C:\adb\Oneplus 7>fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-1-guacamoleb.img in cmd the following happens
target reported max download size of 805306368 bytes
sending 'recovery' (56612 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.220s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: (recovery_b) No such partition)
finished. total time: 1.228s
I have tried using fastboot boot recovery instead in cmd. The following error comes up
cannot load 'recovery': No such file or directory.
I have checked whether the device is connected by typing in fastboot devices and it shows as connected. Any other suggestions will be helpful.

Something similar happened to me, I was on OOS 10 stable and wiping the system and data from TWRP got in fastboot mode without being possible to do anything else. The way that I solved was flashing from fastboot the OOS 10 stable posted rom here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-t3937478 This will erase all your data but you will unbrick your phone.
One important thing, if you are on android 10 you can't flash TWRP via fasboot, maybe that's the problem you are having right now.
Hope this helps

Ok so thank you for the help and you were right. Now i have an all new different problem. In a nutshell i flashed the stock ROM for android 9 while i was in android 10. I completely forgot you aren't supposed to do that. As a result i cant even access fastboot mode now. Can you please tell me how i can fix this problem?

I think that you will need to use the MSM tool, it looks like you have a hard brick, the good news is that oneplus devices can be revived in almost all cases. I have never used the tool but I found some posts that might help you. Best of luck!

I have tried using it but the problem is that MSM download tool does not detect my phone. i have uninstalled and let windows automatically update qualcomm drivers. I have also made windows manually install them after uninstalling.
