Hello Everyone,
This is my first tutorial here.
So, any mistakes should be reminded in the thread.
==================================================
Guide for rooting with MAGISK==================================================
This guide is for those devices for which currently there is no custom recovery available. So, don't be sad instead have MAGISK Root for your device and and sleep well.:angel:
Note - USE THIS GUIDE ON YOUR OWN. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU END UP BRICKING YOUR DEVICES.
BETTER KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND ITS CONSEQUENCES.
==================================================
REQUIREMENTS -
1 - An Android 5.0+ device
2 - PC with working ADB
3 - Stock boot image (boot.img) of your device
4 - Magisk Manager app
5 - A good file browser like Mixplorer, Solid explorer etc..
6 - Active Internet connection
7 - Active mind and patience.
==================================================
Step 1: Patching the stock boot.img
- Install MagiskManager apk on your android device
- Copy the stock boot.img of your device to your phone's internal storage or SD card
- Launch Magisk Manager app
- If prompted to install Magisk, select NO THANKS
- If you are using a samsung device and wish to flash using Odin, then select Options > Settings > Update Settings > Patched Boot Output Format > img.tar )
- Select Install > Install > Patch Boot Image File >
Navigate to the location of the stock boot.img you copied earlier on, then Select it
-Magisk Manager should begin downloading the magisk zip file used for patching
-Once download is complete, MagiskManager will automatically patch the boot file and store it under SDcard/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img[.tar]
Step 2: Flashing the patched boot.img
You have a variety of options to flash the patched boot.img depending on your chipset (e.g Mediatek MTK, Spreadtrum SPD, Qualcomm QLM etc ), the resources you have and your skills. Note that some flashing methods might require you to rename the file to boot.img
- For those using MTK devices and have the specific scatter file for their device, you can flash the patched boot.img using SP flash tool or Miracle Box
-For those using SPD devices and have the PAC file for their device, you can flash the patched boot.img using Research download tool by replacing the stock boot.img with your patched boot.img
- For those using Samsung devices and then use ODIN to flash.
-You could also use Fastboot to flash the patched_boot.img or boot.img (if you've renamed then the command must reflect the file name) as outlined below
How to Flash patched_boot.img using Fastboot
-Setup adb and fastboot on your PC.
-Unlock the phone's Bootloader (if its not unlocked)
-Re-enable USB debugging on the phone
-Connect the phone to the PC via USB cord
-Boot into fastboot mode.
-Flash the patched_boot and reboot by typing in the commands below into adb CMD prompt window and hitting Enter after each line -
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
fastboot reboot

-Verify root using Root Checker

Does this work with lenovo vibe k4 note?
I think this thing would be risky to do.
Or what do you think?
Does the bootloader need to be unlocked still? I have a S6 Active (sm-g890a) that I would love to root with this method but I haven't wanted to try anything in fear of bricking. Sorry for the newb question but I'm a noob.

if the bootloader checks boot.img, it will fail since Magisk patches the boot.img and it will have an invalid signature.
This process is only useful for locked bootloaders that do not check boot.img or people who want stock or are stuck with stock recovery.

Hi, the best way is to flash a custom recovery beforehand. But if you can't find you can go for this method but bootloader must be UNLOCKED. And also if anything goes wrong even if the bootloader is UNLOCKED , the phone will only be soft brick not hard brick. But the best thing will be a custom recovery method.

If your device bootloader is UNLOCKED, then you are good to go. But you should look for a custom recovery for your device and flash magisk.zip . Try this method only if you can't find one. Although every method is risky, you should play safe.

Of course this method is risky yet safe.
If you have a less secure device with UNLOCKED bootloader, you should try this.
But the best thing will be to find a custom recovery or try to port one.
This method should work on most devices.

Will this factory reset my phone?
does it work / may work with S9 plus G965U Qualcomm chipset?
as i didn't find any Oem unlock option in the developer menu.
A7 2017 (Android 8)
So i have an a7 2017 with android oreo or know as 8.0.0. So i want to flash the patched boot image with odin. How do i do that? Like i understand you need oem unlocked but where do you flash it specifically in odin?
Use ADB and the push command.. Be careful what you type.. This thing is a ***** to get the first time.. I wish you good luck
---------- Post added at 07:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 AM ----------
Remember one other thing.. Sammy can not use Fastboot.. It's not that it's bad.. But it just won't in most cases.. Try CROM first to unlock the bootloader
Thanks, very helpful!
Well i tried to root my phone before with cf auto root and with twrp and it said device verification has failed or something. Will it happen for this device?
How do i copy the stock boot image onto my internal storage?
I'm having a question: does the new patched_boot.img file also contain my personal data? If not, then what's the best way to make a backup so that when I restore it my phone to be just like I didn't do anything to it(it should have all my apps, files,contacts, accounts etc untouched), but to be rooted? I have a Elephone a4 and I can't set up a custom recovery, that's why I want to follow this tutorial...

Go to smart switch and create a backup.
Easy peezy
Works as advertised. One thing i would add to the guide is copying the patch boot img to where the command prompt window is opened. If i was using my noodle, it would be an unspoken, but i forgot and had to reboot once more. This would've saved me about 30 seconds, but i won't complain. I am on the moto z2 force sprint may 1 update with an unlocked bootloader
I think this thing would be risky to do.

EDIT FROM THE ARCHANGEL: DO NOT USE THIS RECOVERY IT WILL BRICK YOUR TAB,btw i pulled the links
CWM Recovery v5.5.0.4 for A70x
Attention!
At the moment CWM recovery is not workable! Its use can lead to non-functionality of your tablet! For details see here.
Original article is published on this site and created by ZeroNull and steaven_zw (4pda.ru).
How to:
1. Boot your device.
2. On a tablet: "Settings" -> "Applications" -> "Development" -> "USB debugging" switch on. Connect the tablet to your PC. Be sure to install the latest driver for the tablet.
3. Download the archive and extract it to any convenient location on your computer.
4. Unlock your bootloader for fastboot, follow here. Then reboot a tablet.
5. Open the directory with the unpacked archive. Execute file:
for windows with the rights of administrator:
Code:
flash-cwm.bat
Recovery is installed.
Reboot again with Volume- and see whether you can still access recovery (or use the following command):
Code:
adb reboot recovery
PS: If you can not use this instruction, look here.
You're the man.

should the boot image be patched our does that not matter
Works great thanks for your awesome work again.:good:
Quick questions for you ZeroNull:
Do we have to unlock bootloader first (I suppose we do) ?
Do we have to be rooted first (I suppose we don't) ?
If we don't have to be rooted first, can we root after just by flashing the supersu.zip by Chainfire from recovery (I would suppose we can) ?
Thanks a lot, again.
EDIT: I just checked and saw that the recovery in this package is the same size as the "rooting.img" in the generic root package from you. I suppose that means it is a temp recovery that you use to root the tab ? Which means we can gain root from recovery so flashing supersu from this recovery should work... just trying to understand what's going on, for my own knowledge
EDIT 2: I just opened the .bat file and saw there was some disabling at the end for recovery.sh
I also opened an Acer rom and saw inside the zip that there was some stuff about recovery.sh
From what I can understand, it looks like you disable something that Acer wants to do. What is it exactly ?
If I reflash an Acer stock rom from CWM recovery, will the recovery be reflashed with stock one, or does your script takes care of that ?
Again, just trying to understand.

Since you are apparently still running the stock .017 US ROM, could you make (and post or PM me) a backup copy that could be used to re-flash to stock?
Thanks,
I am currently flashed and running the .025_EMA_CUS1 ROM with teh new CWM recovery... all went very well!
You'll have to unlock the boot-loader to flash a recovery, but you don't need to be rooted for this to happen.You root the operating system to gain access behind the scenes....A recovery such as CWM (this) is the first step for you to flash non signed ROMs (modified) without the system denying you. Then you can flash an already rooted (or tweaked) ROM once they are available, but as of right now there aren't any.
So unlock boot-loader, flash this, then root your ROM...

Sorry, but I'm currently running this: SDs_Acer_AV043_A700_RV07RC06_EMEA_FR.zip
It is a french leak, but you can get it from the rom thread so I'm not going to be able to help you much on this.
By the way, did you root before pushing this recovery or did you just unlock the bootloader ?

No, you'll have to use one of the scripts in the rooting threads unless someone creates a flashable root.
The script I used automatically installed su and busy box.

Mine was both rooted and s-off... I am hoping the ROM development for the ACER takes off now that it is rooted and a recovery is working. Bought this over waiting for the Infinity to drop later this month (July)... hope it wasn't a mistake I will regret!
Thanks for the response.
Cheers!

You mean "stock rom", right?
If someone would make a nandroidbackup of a stock-Version, then You could recover from that Backup and would be on Stock.
You just need someone to be so kind, but i guess that ont take too long.

After backup using the cwm and reboot then reboot again to recovery it will boot the original acer recovery!
Is this temporary cwm recovery?
After connecting the charger when the tablet off it will restore the original recovery

In the original of Acer firmware there is a function restore original (stock) recovery. In my instruction at one stage of the script executes the CWM recovery. This is necessary, that would disable the restoration of the original (stock) recovery. If for some reason the launch has not occurred or the user manually exited from the CWM recovery, then system restore will not be disabled. And after rebooting the system will automatically be restored to the original recovery.
When it executes
Disable script /etc/install-recovery.sh
error: device not found
error: device not found

1. Do you have your device connected to your PC?
2. Have you enabled USB debugging from the settings?
3. Have you installed the Acer drivers on your computer?

I think the problem in version bootloader, which is installed on your tablet.
This problem can be solved in two ways:
Option 1. Change to another the firmware version, in which works command bootloader - "fastboot boot recovery.img"
Option 2. After running the installation script CWM recovery, when comes to message:
Booting recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
turn off the tablet. And then perform the following steps:
1. Press and hold down the 'Volume -'. Power on the tablet. After starting the CWM recovery - releasing button 'Volume -'.
2. Open the directory with the unpacked archive. Launch from this directory the Windows command prompt. And enter the following commands:
Code:
adb shell "mount -a && cd /system/etc && mv install-recovery.sh install-recovery.old"
adb reboot
Now CWM recovery will not be overwritten with the original recovery.

Hi guys, i was looking to make twrp for this device but couldn't do it because lack of knowledge. so i searched and found about CF-Auto-Root.
fortunately i was able to generate one for mia1. now we can root this device without any recovery.
Requirements -
1. unlocked boot loader. :cyclops:
2. this Zip
3.adb debugging should be enabled
How to -
1. put your phone in fastboot mode by volume down + power key.
2. connect to pc, ( make sure adb debugging is enabled)
2. extract above zip anywhere in your desktop and run root.bat file.
wait for some time, when it boots up you should have root access . although you won't see any su app. tried with solid explorer and was able to edit build.prop. without any issues. enjoy
so with this we get root access, a question about unlocked bootloader, does A1 already unlocked bootloader since begining or we have to request it from Xiaomi or Google to get that?
hope with this we can use substratum on stock Android

No, it doesn't come unlocked, but you can unlock by either ---
1. requesting xiaomi for unlock code.
or
2. By using command " fastboot oem unlock" in fastboot mode.
i used 2nd method to unlock, it's just like unlocking a nexus phone.
Screenshot proof please Kratus
Can u upload or attach few screenshots of the root access working... Root checker or anything
Screenshots?
Well done!

This phone doesn't have its own section in the forum yet, so I decided to put here a little guide for those who haven't figured out how to root it yet.
There is no twrp version for this Motorola yet, so I'm going to teach you how to root it without recovery.
This is how I rooted my Motorola One Macro:
Unlock your bootloader here.
Check the Compilation Number of your firmware (probably something like PMDXX.XX-XX)
Download THE SAME VERSION of your compilation from here.
Extract from the zip the boot.img
Copy boot.img in a folder of your choice in your phone.
Install Magisk Manager apk in your phone (download here)
Open Magisk Manager and choose Install --> Install --> Patch file
Select boot.img and wait until it's patched
A new file would be created in the same folder you put the boot.img, named magisk_patched.img
Copy magisk_patched.img to your PC.
Reboot your phone to bootloader
Now replace the boot.img of your phone with the new one patched by magisk using the following commands:
fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img
fastboot reboot
And now you are rooted. Enjoy

Hello! Thank you very much for the tutorial for the Moto One Macro. I was tired of looking for a tutorial for mine.
But one question remained: Because I am unable to install a Recovery, am I unable to flash a custom rom? Because I was trying to root the device just to install a Custom Rom of the Lineage OS type of Android 10, considering that as far as Motorola is concerned, the pro 10 update will not come anytime soon. But I still thank you for the tutorial.
Sent from my Motorola One Hyper using XDA Labs
Question
I have multiple questions I would like to ask.
1. Would this format the phone? Which partitions will get formatted?
2. Can you explain the namings of the folder in the link to the post? What do they mean? I've seen a compilation number close to mines in the 'retail' folder.
3. From where do people get these uploads? I've tried multiple times contacting Motorola for image uploads and they never sent anything. I am very interested in the origin of the files.
4. Is there anyway to recover from a failed patch?
The reason I want this is that I've tried patching the bootloader using an image from a fishy website and it soft-bricked my phone, I had to reformat the whole thing with a fresh image
Btw, thank you for contributing to the phone's community!
Update:
Installed successfully, magisk is enabled and root is functioning and whatnot. Problem is, sometimes on booting the phone hangs on the weird colorful animation. It's not consistent and I can't figure out why. I discovered force rebooting the phone multiple times boots the phone successfully but does not fix the problem. Boot times are slower, probably because of modules.
Screen mirroring Motorola one
Hello,
I have a root Motorola one Android 10, but I can't share my screen to my Samsung smart TV, i search a lot but I didn't have success, first I edited the build.prop lines,
persist.debug.wfd.enable=1 (before it was persist.debug.wfd.enable=0)
persist.hwc.enable_vds=0 (before it was persist.hwc.enable_vds=1)
I added this in the end
wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable
I added another line but I don't remember all because I erased it, i only remember the beginning
Persist.sys....
But it can't work, in my TV only show something like
"Screen mirroring: motorola is connecting" but then the signal is lost
Nothing that I tried work, only one thing is good and is that in my cellphone in the option of share screen after change this line: persist.debug.wfd.enable=1 (before it was persist.debug.wfd.enable=0) I could activate wireless screen and it let me TRY to connect with my TV but without success.
In other post show the last configuration with an extra thing, I should edit a file (wfdconfig.xml) and it supposed to stay in this direction system/etc/ wfdconfig.xml. But I search in all files and I didn't find.
Maybe someone can help me.
Thanks.

I have multiple questions I would like to ask.
1. Would this format the phone? Which partitions will get formatted?
2. Can you explain the namings of the folder in the link to the post? What do they mean? I've seen a compilation number close to mines in the 'retail' folder.
3. From where do people get these uploads? I've tried multiple times contacting Motorola for image uploads and they never sent anything. I am very interested in the origin of the files.
4. Is there anyway to recover from a failed patch?
The reason I want this is that I've tried patching the bootloader using an image from a fishy website and it soft-bricked my phone, I had to reformat the whole thing with a fresh image
Btw, thank you for contributing to the phone's community!
Update:
Installed successfully, magisk is enabled and root is functioning and whatnot. Problem is, sometimes on booting the phone hangs on the weird colorful animation. It's not consistent and I can't figure out why. I discovered force rebooting the phone multiple times boots the phone successfully but does not fix the problem. Boot times are slower, probably because of modules.

Motorola doesn't official share the firmware, but there has always been people with access to the firmware servers.
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/ has lots of moto firmware
LMSA can also be used to get firmware for most moto devices

[*]Check the Compilation Number of your firmware (probably something like PMDXX.XX-XX)
[*]Download THE SAME VERSION of your compilation from here.

Hi, I can't find my Build Number in there. Mine is PMDS29.70-81-3.
I see several PMDS29.70-81 but none of them have the -3 I need. Any suggestions?

Hey bro, im looking for this, can u upload? or give any link related? LMSA is coded by monkeys with cocaine in water and tells that my XT2016-2 is'nt compatible :\
Help!
I am from Brazil and I have a Motorola One Macro and the device does not appear in the list of supported devices for OEM unlocking on the Motorola website.
Do you have TWRP for XT2016-2 ?

Ignore the list the list of never been complete.
The only way to know if the bootloader can be unlocked is to try to unlock it.

There is not, but i am working on developing one we'll see soon if i can complete it succesfully due actually there are a lot of problems with this one
TWRP would be a nice treat here. Keep the thread updated on any progress.
download magisk apk
move your device specific boot img to your phone
patch it through magisk app
enable usb debugging
make sure your device is oem unlocked and flashing unlocked
then boot into bootloader
then fastboot flash your magisk patched boot image
and then fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
(vbmeta from your own rom obv) and you should be gucci
To root your phone manually, you need to turn on USB Debugging.
Go to Setting, Find kernel version in About.
Tap it seven times, at which point you should see the message, "You are now a developer!" With that done, tap Settings, About Phone, Developer Options, and then tick USB debugging." Then tap OK to approve the setting change.
Now turn it ON in fastboot mode and unlock the bootloader.
Install a recovery to help you with flashing.
Flash a supporting custom ROM and gapps.

I'm really scared to root this phone to be honest
are you sure this method works perfectly?
Also to remove root all i need is to flash original boot and it will remove root and all magisk modules right?

it works for rooting, but you gotta also learn how to unbrick it using mtk bypass utility

no, flashing original boot only removes root not the files it created including modules. obv if you remove root the modules wont work but theyre still there, dont root it if you plan to unroot it, why even root in the first place then?
and if you root, even if you unroot you might not pass safetynet anymore

Were you able to unlock bootloader?
If you have done that rooting is fairly simple.

Bootloader is already unlocked.
If root this phone is really simple like you say, probably the problem it's me

Easy method : 1) Either flash the magisk patched boot.img through fastboot. Make sure you flash the right firmware boot.img matching yours.
OR
2)Have magisk.apk in your internal storage. Boot using twrp recovery from fastboot or if you have permanently replaced to twrp (well and good) you can just flash the apk file directly.
Harder method : Those described in the forum's when there was no twrp recovery.
PS: ALWAYS USE THE SIDE USB PORT OF THE PHONE TO EXECUTE FASTBOOT COMMANDS.

Edit. Sorry i didnt see that you asked for detailed guide.
1)Download magisk.apk from GitHub. Keep in your internal storage of your phone.
2)Download that twrp recovery .img file in your pc and execute the command in your pc with your phone in fastboot as mentioned in that thread i posted below.
3)Your phone will boot into twrp recovery. Go to install and in that choose magisk.apk file which you downloaded and flash it. Thats all your phone will be rooted.
About the recovery (temporary or permanent) there is a thread under development tag mentioning TWRP. Process will be very simple you can do it in under a minute or two. Please refer to it. Just booting twrp is enough to flash magisk. Or if you want permanent twrp recovery also it's upto you.
