Thanks for the directions, links, and video. All went well (i kept the moto x4 on 8.1 instead of upgrading to Pie) - the only difference was I had to enter my password to decrypt the drive first, then remover Superuser (to let the magisk built in superuser run).
Just two questions. Do you know:
1. if I should turn off the "oem unlocking" for the bootloader after everything is installed?
2. if I should turn off usb debugging after everything is installed?

once you unlock bootloader that option should be greyed out.
no point in disabling it
usb debugging is your wish. thats for taking logs.

My "OEM unlocking" slider is still active - I can slide it off and back on, although I don't know if that actually does anything.
Links above say to use TWRP 3.2.1.1, but YouTube guide uses 3.2.3.1. Does it make a difference which we use?

Lose Apps?
Haven't unlocked a phone b4... all new to me... The Motorola Bootloader Unlock information states: "You will lose all media and content on your device and will need to reinstall all applications downloaded from Google Play"... is this true??

Yes. This is standard when unlocking bootloader (I guess a security thing). You will want to backup.

Thanks, Chandler... could you recommend a backup(s) that back up data as well as apps to be reloaded... think I read somewhere that the standard google backup only backs up apps, not data.
Rooted successfully on 9.0, was easy to follow guide, thanks. But not Motorola update services keeps saying update unsuccessful whenever it tries to install latest security patch. They should download like normal for me right?

If you flash back to stock, you should then be able to take the OTA. I do this with my unlocked XT1900-1 with every update.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I haven't rooted a phone since 2010. So jhedfors mentions flashing back to stock to update via OTA but I'd flashing back to stock the only way to get it or can I get the update from Motorola's website and install that way?
Just went back to stock, and I wanted to make sure I usnderstand you all on OTA updates: do we really have to flash back to stock using the full firmware (as in the guide here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x4/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-official-factory-t3808348 ) before OTA? That seems like a lot of work. Is there a way to just temporarily disable Magisk, take the OTA, then re-install Magisk?
Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking.
i have amazon prime version
Is there anything I can do?

Thanks for the simplified guide. Worked great, I was able to relock the bootloader and accept an OTA with no problem. Only issue is the device doesn't pass safety net - signature validation error, and when I boot up I get the device has been modified pop up.

same peeps thread
aw man... well, I meant to post specifically to the last post in the thread but was on the mobile app.
:good::good: Just wanted to say thank you for this post, the links to the image files and the flash-all BAT file. This really saved my butt with a Project Fi Moto X4, which I had rooted using Magisk before checking on the availability of factory firmware images from Motorola. (of course there are not any available from Motorola ) The phone was continuously prompting for an OTA update, which would fail. I first tried the Magisk uninstaller, which ran successfully in TWRP, but the OTA update was still failing. After some digging on Google I found your post and used the Project Fi image to flash the phone, it worked perfectly! There was an OTA update available after flashing (The May 2018 security patches, "28.2") and it installed successfully. I love the Android community, the XDA community, and folks like yourself who take the time to write posts like this. Seriously, thank you!

I understand you have Android One version. If that's the case, anyone catching the URL to OTA for the Android One 28.2 update? I've been looking for it for days, and the OTA link generator is not working (at least with the data I'm providing which should be correct).

/!\DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK/!\
Recently, Nokia made us happy by fulfilling their promise to update our Nokia 6 to Android Pie. It's very exciting until you find out there is no way to root or even use TWRP on this device when Pie is installed.
Worry not, I've found a way to install TWRP and root our Nokia 6 using Magisk. Follow the guides below!
/!\ WARNING! This process requires you to unlock your Nokia 6 bootloader first. Bootloader unlock isn't officially available nor supported yet, so it is paid and MOST LIKELY you would have to downgrade your device first to Oreo with older security patch to unlock it (which requires more cash)
OK, if you are ready, proceed to next two threads for TWRP installations and root
=====================

=======================
• Download the TWRP image from the link provided in the OP.
• Put your phone into fastboot mode
• Use the " fastboot flash recovery recovery_mod.img " command
• Done!
> To just boot (preserve stock recovery)
• Download the TWRP image from the link provided in the OP.

• Root guide (untested) •
• Download both the Magisk Manager apk and the Magisk installer zip from the link in OP. Place it into your phone's internal storage.
• Install the Magisk Manager apk (you have to install the Manager first)
• Boot into TWRP (guide on above thread) or reboot to recovery (if you flashed TWRP, again the guide is on above thread)
• Back up your boot partition first (strongly recommended, but not mandatory)
• Flash the Magisk installer zip

when you say "module" what you reffer? pixel launcher or boot image? it's seems that the author posted here only boot image.
Is bettwer to build your own image instead to use one build by others;
The pixel launcher problem may be from not installing proper magisk module; check download section in magisk for necessary modules and also search on forums for pixel launcher prerequisites.

Attempting to flash the vbmeta.img I have this problem:
unknown option fastboot --disable-verity
Any idea why fastboot can't figure this command? adb version 30.0.5
Also, what exactly is the reason to flash the vbmeta.img? Is this to allow the phone to boot with the patched image..?
I was still able to boot into android but I can't confirm if the devices is rooted or not.. all programs just hang with no confirmation if root access is granted or denied...
Will this work with android 11?

Thank you @Miustone, your post has been a helpful reference. Some things change over time so it's good to have this guide that is current.
In your guide, I have been looking at the Flashing Firmwares and re-locking the Bootloader... section.
Miustone said:
If You want to relock Your Bootloader...
-Just go into fastboot mode any type in the command prompt (like before in this Guide):
Code:
cd\
cd platform-tools
fastboot oem lock
-Wait for Your Device and disconnect it from USB
-Download and Install the "Xperia Companion" from SONY
-Open the Xperia Companion and select Software Repair
-Select that Your Device can't get recognized (or is a Smartwatch 3 lol)
-Go to the next Page and select the Xperia Smartphone Option
-Continue and wait for the Initialization
-Press and hold Volume DOWN while connecting to USB (You will see the Green Flashmode LED again)
-Continue once Your Device gets recognized and let the Xperia Companion do his work...
Done. Your Bootloader is locked again and most of Your DRMs are restored. But please Note, that unlocking Your Bootloader erases Your unique Device Key FOREVER. That will flag Your Device as "it was unlocked". This can be checked by SONY and everyone else who has this Device in his Hands... (SONY knows it anyways).

Please can you advise, confirm that while rooted with Magisk (v23.0), I can relock the bootloader so as to be able to get Sony OTA updates for my Xperia 1?
I had to download firmware with XperiFirm anyway, to get the boot img for Magisk to patch. And because it is newer firmware I just went and flashed it - also because I needed to fix the broken camera/torch caused by rooting with Magisk. So now everything is working again.
So I lose root but I can just root again with Magisk. At that point can I relock the bootloader so that I can receive OTAs, and still be rooted?

Please can you advise, confirm that while rooted with Magisk (v23.0), I can relock the bootloader so as to be able to get Sony OTA updates for my Xperia 1?
I had to download firmware with XperiFirm anyway, to get the boot img for Magisk to patch. And because it is newer firmware I just went and flashed it - also because I needed to fix the broken camera/torch caused by rooting with Magisk. So now everything is working again.
So I lose root but I can just root again with Magisk. At that point can I relock the bootloader so that I can receive OTAs, and still be rooted?

You need to choose.
Unlocked = Magisk/Root, Freedom, Control
Locked = No Magisk/Root, Freedom, Control
I do also recommend to wait for Pixel Experience. It will come soon with Mainline Kernels for many Xperias... Including OTAs

You idiot EMUI 10 cannot be bootloader unlocked, downgrade to EMUI 9.0!!!
If you want android 10 or even 11 you need something called a GSI, which I can inform you about it.

that what i was thinking also, so bye Emui 10 for ever i guess.
what was the rom base on android 11 you are referring to ?
GSI Project treble rom.
The definition is https://source.android.com/setup/bu...tem image (GSI,or higher can run successfully.
Google's Offical GSI will not boot on huaweis though.
After unlock bootloader download this https://github.com/phhusson/treble_...v300.l/system-roar-arm64-aonly-vanilla.img.xz
use 7zip(https://www.7-zip.org/a/7z1900-x64.exe) to extract the file once and rename it to system.img and move to C drive WITHOUT under any folders.
Then go to recovery and factory reset, do not advance wipe, wipe>factory reset only
Then go to fastboot and
fastboot flash system C:\system.img
Failing to follow will result in rage!
Backup System, Vendor, Data and Internal storage in TWRP before doing anything will be a wise choice, in case anything is wrong.
Forgot to mention you must flash magisk in TWRP before installing rom, to disable AVB(Android Vertified Boot) so that a custom rom can be loaded.

Yeah for sur, i'm rolling back, unlocking BL then TWRP in order to get a full backup. I ll check the rom after that
A senior member refer to for EMUI 10 upgrading :
"Don't update system via OTA when phone is rooted or bootloader unlock. Flash firmware via erecovery and rooted again"
i think this is incorrect right ? he cant root again while on EMUI 10 ?

Extract Android 11 Gsi, rename to system.img and move to C drive , not under any folders.
Go to fastboot then
Fastboot erase data
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash system C:\system.img
Has anyone installed a custom rom successfully on a Moto G 5G model XT-2213-3?
The kiev build for Lineage 18.1 lists these variants as compatible:
Supported models
XT2113-2
XT2113-3
XT2113-5
This is the device's specs on GSM arena.
Moto G 5G (2022)
So apparently in moving from the 2020 kiev version to this phone, they replaced the qualcomm processor with a mediatek. Bad news for the custom rom future of it. It did easily bootloader unlock, so now I'm trying to see if root is a possibility.

Hello. Have you found any solution to root this device? I have the same model (2213-3 Austin), and unlocked the phone but could not root the device. No solution on the internet works for me.

I was successfully able to root using this guide.
[Guide][Root] Magisk without TWRP on Android P
Via Magisk Manager: This method does not need root, and also does not require a custom recovery. However, you MUST have a stock boot image dump beforehand, and you also have to be able to flash the patched boot image, either through fastboot mode...
forum.xda-developers.com
I've uploaded the patched boot.img for firmware G_S1SAS32.47_77_2 so you can save some time and skip step 1 and go straight to flashing the patched boot.img hope this helps.
I gave up on this handset as with it's Mediatek innards there won't be any future Custom ROM options.

I have a WIP lineage/aosp device tree up on github, still have a few small things to sort out on the device tree and probably another week or two away from a workable vendor tree. Motorola has released the source for the kernel along with the out of tree modules, currently trying to get them to release an aosp build readme since this is my first mediatek device and there isn't much info on porting roms to said soc, but there is always gsi's

Is this one valid for those that bought directly from Moto? It's stating subsidy for T-Mobile and not seeing a standard official release on lolinet . . .

This is just for the T-Mobile variant. The one bought directly from Moto has different specs IIRC
Okay, I thankfully remembered that one can get stock roms from Moto using the Rescue Smart Assistant so did that.
Now I'm just stuck waiting till Motorola tells me phone I can use the OEM Bootloader Unlock . . . so much for a fast upgrade >_<

I'm not familiar, what is BSP?
Just want to make sure I'm not biting myself in the ass here keeping it. The only things I really need unlocked BL/root for is CF.Lumen, some tasker stuff, proper full backups, and call recording for work/business >_>

BSP=Board Support Package(makes custom ROM development much easier) you should be just fine doing the standard magisk root, it's what I did and I haven't had any issues with except that now whenever I reboot my phone it boots into Meta mode instead of back to system. So when I reboot I have to make sure to hold vol down to get the bootloader and then boot normally from there. I'm guessing it has something to do with verified boot because if I reflash the factory boot image it reboots normally, I tried flashing vbmeta with disable verity and verification, but after doing that the sim card reader stopped working lol
Anyone found a root for the moto g stylus 5G xt2131-1? Just purchased it factory unlocked.
