[ROOT] Moto X Style - XT1572 BR - Marshmallow

Hello guys!
I make my own ROOT (systemless, thanks for Chainfire) images for Moto X Style with Marshmallow (build MPH24.49-18). Its use "experimental" systemless SuperSU version 2.56 - more info on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63197935&postcount=2. No need replace bootloader or recovery. Still need unlocked booloader.
Because TWRP didn't work in this version of bootloader (0xA048), I cooked "su.img" in a Linux box and used "/data/local/tmp" as bridge (accessible by ADB).
WARNING! I am not responsible for any harm on your phone. When you're not sure if you can do it, leave it!
For use, you need
1) unlocked bootloader.
2) if your bootloader not unlocked, make sure you have copy of your data, because this process will erase your device.
3) install ADB and FASTBOOT on your pc using minimal ADB or Android SDK.
4) install ADB drivers from Motorola or Universal ADB.
5) download provided files.
6) download SuperSU ver. 2.56 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344.
Steps:
1) extract files in a folder of your choice (su.img, boot.img).
2) extract Superuser.apk from SuperSU-v2.56-20151030013730.zip from common folder.
3) enable USB debugging on Android.
4) connect your device on pc.
5) open a command prompt in a new folder.
6) type "adb push su.img /data/local/tmp" without quotes.
7) type "adb install Superuser.apk" without quotes.
8) now reboot your device into fastboot mode by typing "adb reboot bootloader".
9) type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" without quotes.
10) type "fastboot reboot" without quotes.
And enjoy!
Now you have a rooted MotoX Style Marshmallow. To apply any OTAs, you only need reflash stock boot.

Do I still need to unlock the bootloader in order to root this device

What do you mean? Como assim?

Oh I see thanx partner

How can I copy "su.img"?
If no Root I can not copy into data/local/tmp.

Restart in bootloader
1) adb push su.img /data/local/tmp
2) fastboot flash boot boot.img
3) Install SuperSu ver 2.56 apk

Yes, work with XT1575.

I dont test on another device, only on XT1572.
After 24h, no errors, work like a charm.
With this approuch you dont need to downgrade bootloader.

assuming that we need a "CLEAN", unrooted system for this as advised by @Chainfire in his instructional post regarding this experimental root method!
Instructions
You must absolutely re-flash your stock /system partition, or the separate root instances will interfere with each other. The installer for this experiment will not clean up old root files.
- Flash stock /system
- Flash the attached boot image
- Flash the attached SuperSU ZIP in TWRP

Also you should probably make a point of mentioning that this method is an experiment.
Aside from this, let me take my "high-visibility" jacket off, along with my "safety helmet" and say thank you very much for taking the time to do this for us all @ivcarlos! You are a gentleman!

Is Android pay confirmed working with this root method?

@bb12489
I dnt know because I dnt use this feature.
@Doktaphex
I dnt mentioned this - clean and unrooted system - because after apply OTA on XT1572, custom recovery (TWRP) didn't work anymore. By the way, I assume no root and clean system.
I know this method is "experimental", but it's best at this time, without downgrade bootloader (not safe).
Thanks for comments! I make this work because I need root and I dnt like to make heavy changes on smart...
In this way, I share for everyone.

Could you please give me the link that how you created modified boot.img ? I want to make it work on Indian XT1572

@gulshanstrider
I make boot image based on post of Chainfire (http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344), with applying steps:
1) unpack stock "boot.img";
2) patch sepolicy;
3) edit "init.rc" and "init.environ.rc";
4) edit "file_contexts";
5) repack "boot.img".
Use Chainfire generated images with model.
Without TWRP, I cooked "su.img" in a Linux box, and use "/data/local/tmp" with bridge.

@Shishir Singhal
Whats your model and version?
I make this image for my XT1572 (BR, dual) and wifi working.
To revert back you must write back stock boot.img version. On first post I provided stock of XT1572 RETLA 6.0 (my base).
On my device no issues at all.

Not working on my XT1572
Didn't work on my XT1572 with Android 6.0.
Enable root option is disabled in SuperSU with a message saying that system-less root is currently not supported.

What version of SuperSU you was installed?
You put "su.img" into "/data/local/tmp"?
If you enter in shell with ADB, ls command show "su" directory in root? Image was monted successfully?

You can not update it via stock recovery bcs leeco never release this rom it is installed on europe (Czech branded phones) i cannot post screen bcs im change phone i have Essential ph-1 for now

Can i flash it as a secondary rom (multirom)?

Does anyone have the stock modem for x527? because my signal keeps coming on and off constantly in every eui rom so I can't go back to stock, strangely I can use it on Nougat and Oreo. I've flashed this stock rom but no solution.

Hi @veisen !
Thanks for the ROM.
However - how can it be an official ROM if it shows a 'Le X527' but with a 'Snapdragon 820' (when it should be a Snapdragon 652)?
Cheers, raimerik

Try pushing it through adb
Rename the file to update.zip
Open terminal
cd "directory of the zip folder"
adb push update.zip /sdcard/
Wait for few minutes, it should be done.

Pixel experience Rom [9.0]for mi 5x is out now, u can install like other custom ROMs.

[Guide] How to install a GSI treble rom on our Daisy - Updated [5.11.18] - More easy.

This guide lets you install any GSI treble roms on our Daisy.
Read carefully and go step by step!
Update: Since Havoc OS doesn´t need permissive Kernel, I just installed the latest stock rom (9.6.9.0), flashed Havoc, set everything up and ended with sh...t... Camera´s not working, Opera freezes, everything sucks. It was a waste of time... So it´s still the situation:
If you want to use a custom GSI-Rom Only use this combination: Stock rom before flashing GSI: 9.6.4.0 and Kernel: Unofficial TWRP by Yshalsager - this combination works like a charm​
Let´s get started: Be sure you are on Stock 9.6.4.0 (july security patch) if not, your wifi will not work in treble rom!
1) Download latest AB arm 64 gsi build. - ONLY ARM 64 AB GSI WILL WORK!
2) If you don´t have fastboot and adb download it from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=2588979 and install it!
3) Extract gsi64-ab-image to adb folder and rename it to system.img
4.a) Windows 7: right klick on white space in your adb-folder: open command prompt here
4.b) Windows 10: open command prompt as admin and navigate to your adb folder
5.) Power off your Smartphone and press pwr and vol- together -> your screen will show FASTBOOT - connect your phone to your PC
6.) type in your command prompt
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Important: this will format your SD - All data will be lost If you perform that step! -> Backup before!​7.) Phone will reboot, erase data and boot up. Power off again after boot up. Power + vol- to enter fastboot.
Now you have to decide: If you want to use Android 9 roms and TWRP together, you have to decrypt your data - else TWRP will not be able to read data! If you don´t care continue on step 11​
8.) Download a patched_boot.img and place it in your fastboot folder - since only 9.6.4.0 works without bugs, you have to choose the patched 9.6.4.0 boot
9)
Code:
fastboot boot patched_boot.img
10) Connect to internet and update Magisk manager, download a root explorer - you could use this and go to
/vendor/etc/ and open the file fstab.qcom in editor​replace the text "forceencryption=footer with "encryptable=footer" and reboot to bootloader​
11) Download this, rename it to boot.img and copy it to your fastboot folder
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
12) Install official TWRP
13) After installing official TWRP reboot to TWRP agian and go to "wipe" -> "format data" and type "yes". Reboot to bootloader
14.) Download your GSI AB Image and place it in your fastboot folder
Code:
fastboot flash system [imagename].img
If you want, you can boot now to twrp and install magisk and/or gapps whatever - everything will work. Else you boot up your new system - Sometimes your GSI-rom will not boot up without a rooted kernel.
So if you stay in bootloop, just install magisk.zip!
Violla - Now you have a treble gsi rom on your Mi A2 Lite!

theres working twrp out for daisy, does this change anything refering to your first line:
"1) Download latest AB arm 64 gsi build. I would always use the gappsed version - twrp still not running for daisy... - ONLY ARM 64 AB GSI WILL WORK!"

thanks for the guide!
i really want to try this but im not sure which rom fully works. Also i'm not sure to do this without TWRP cause i'd like to have a complete backup of my device.

i'm in 9.6.9 version now with locked bootloader and unrooted
any suggests for me to try this rom

No problem - meanwhile there´s a official twrp here - and you can still use this guide
If you want to flash havoc 2.0 - I think it´s the best rom on earth , you will need to change your kernel to permissive that it will boot. To do that, read the thread there´s a vivid discussion how to do it...

If you like to have more features and/or pie (Android 9), then I would suggest to flash a custom gsi rom. If you can live with stock, I wouldn´t touch it.

i want havoc OS but as i understand i can't use the fastboot method because i need the permissive fix, which only can be installed via TWRP, correct?
i would prefer fastboot over TWRP because all the problems with sdcard reading, encrypting etc.

Hi,
there are so many reasons for havoc not to boot... and so less to boot...
BUT... If you won´t mind to use an unencrypted phone or no twrp, you can use (as I think) the best Android OS, havoc.
So think about, what is more important for you: TWRP or encryption.
1. With encryption: (Quite easy)
a) Go to stock 9.6.4.0 - July patch with mi flash and choose clean all (yes you will loose all your data -> back up everything) - Important: don´t install any ota after that!​b) Download latest havoc and place it in your fastboot folder​c) Download this TWRP and place it in your fastboot folder - you need this as Kernel​d) As lazy person, I would rename the havoc file to havoc.img and the twrp file to twrp.img​e) copy userdata.bin from stock to fastboot​
Code:
fastboot flash system havoc.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
Code:
fastboot flash userdata userdata.bin
Code:
fastboot reboot
Wait and wait and wait and violla, you have havoc!
f) Gapps: download gapps, copy it to your fastboot folder and rename it to gapps.zip. Boot to recovery - twrp will not be able to read your data -> skip and allow modifications​
Code:
adb push ./gapps.zip /sdcard
- Now you see gapps in your zip and you can install it!
g) Magisk: for magisk you need to download my patched twrp and place it in your fastboot folder​
Code:
fastboot boot patched_twrp.img
- After booting up, you can go to magisk manager (yes: upgrade first etc.... and install magisk using the "direct method"
2. If you want to remove encryption - then you can use twrp fully, use this guide: here
Important: If you use another stock rom than 9.6.4.0 or do an ota, you will loose wifi!​after doing all the steps:​
Code:
fastboot flash system havoc.img
- that´s it!
Now you can use havoc

Wait and wait and wait and violla, you have havoc!
f) Gapps: download gapps, copy it to your fastboot folder and rename it to gapps.zip. Boot to recovery - twrp will not be able to read your data -> skip and allow modifications​
Code:
adb push ./gapps.zip /sdcard
- Now you see gapps in your zip and you can install it!
g) Magisk: for magisk you need to download my patched twrp and place it in your fastboot folder​
Code:
fastboot boot patched_twrp.img
- After booting up, you can go to magisk manager (yes: upgrade first etc.... and install magisk using the "direct method"
2. If you want to remove encryption - then you can use twrp fully, use this guide: here
Important: If you use another stock rom than 9.6.4.0 or do an ota, you will loose wifi!​after doing all the steps:​
Code:
fastboot flash system havoc.img
- that´s it!
Now you can use havoc

In the Images-Folder of your stockrom after extracting...
- download fastboot stock rom
- extract archive
- look inside "images"

No idea why you're useless taking pot-shots at other people, especially when you keep spreading lies about stock roms because you use a broken recovery. But have it your way.
Just keeping telling people to use a broken/untested recovery and bricking their phones, that forces them to reflash boot images. Can't wait until the bricks pile up.
I'm done with this website.

If you would read, you would have noticed, that that broken and untested recovery is used as kernel, becouse it works great as kernel for gsi roms. Within the process it will be upgreaded by official twrp.
I spend a lot time, testing how to install custom roms on this phone, becouse I don't like like stock and I share my experience with others. Noone will break his phone with this! Perhaps you can try before complaining.

Lol, this site has gone way down hill... It's almost a joke now.
So many people asking for the 'easy' way and want answers to easily searchable questions. Sooo many multiple posts, and people not wanting to do the research themselves. How many threads need to be created on bricked devices because you didn't heed the warnings or follow the directions...
I wonder if xda even cares? This place use to be a great tool for the ones who like to tinker.
There are definitely a few folks keeping the spirit alive, but so many unnecessary posts - like what I'm writing right now...
Anyway thanks to anyone who puts time and effort for the greater good, we should all understand that tinkering with our devices can potentially have adverse effects.

Thanks for this noob friendly guide! a massive thanks! But hotspot still not working. Haven't tried the gcam but the stock camera is working but has no portrait and other features. The havoc os 2.0 looks snappy and buggy. Ill try other treble roms in few days
Any suggestions?

You're welcome. Don't have problems with bugs and havoc 2.0... Interesting to test would be arrow pie! Benzo had problems with camera and flashlight... All the 8.1 can't handle the notch and overlay!

[Guide] How to flash Q GSI on OP6/T

Warning
Not for faint hearts. Proceed at your own risk.
Note: Before You can flash any GSI, You have to unlock Your bootloader. Back up your N**es if you haven't yet.
Objective:
The objective of this guide is to install Q GSI. I will predominantly concentrate on Erfan's GSI (pixel and Google Generic GSI) found on his telegram group. This should work for any other functional GSI just fine though. This guide is tested on OP6 but I really dont find any reason why it wouldn't work on OP6T. Test it at your own risk and report if it works.
Requirements:
OP6 with unlocked bootloader
OOS 9.0.7 (or equivalent for OP6T) flashed to both slots (important!)
Latest ADB and fastboot installed
Knowledge to use ADB and fastboot
GSI image (This guide will be focused on Erfarn's GSI)
Permisiver-V4.zip from here
TWRP (I used blu spark v9.101)
OOS 9.0.7 Boot and vbmeta Warning: DONOT USE THESE FOR OP6T! Extract them from OOS 9.0.7 equivalent for 6T yourself
The Guide:
1. Flash OOS 9.0.7 (or equivalent for 6T) to both slots.
2. Reboot to bootloader and flash the following:
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
fastboot flash system_a GSI.img
fastboot flash system_b GSI.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
All those should be flashed in one go without rebooting. boot and vbmeta are those taken from OOS stock rom.
3. Boot twrp from fastboot (without rebooting from fastboot)
4. Factory reset
5. Flash permisiver-V4.zip (push with adb if not available)
6. Pull "/vendor/build.prop" to PC, find the below line and comment it by prepending a "#" and push it back into same location
Code:
ro.frp.pst=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/config
7. Flash magisk if required
8. Reboot​
Credits:
Erfan - GSI used for the guide, permisiver

Known issues:
Fingerprint sensor doesn't work after 1st reboot (No fix at this time)
Dash charge seem not to work (unclear for now)
OBB files have issue. Known issue on DP5.
Can't finish device setup (Follow fix for "No audio on Call" )
No audio on call
1. Install this GMS version
2. Grant all permission to Google Play Services
3. Finish device setup from the notification
No camera available
1. Go to developer settings and turn off "Camera Laser Sensor"
2. Download OOS camera from here and install
Pixel launcher might crash upon reboot
1. Delete /vendor/overlays folder using root or from twrp
in-call audio always routed through Speaker.
Note: The below fix is a temporary, dirty fix. Will update this when a better fix is found
Edit "/system/vendor/etc/audio_policy_configuration.xml" and add this to <attachedDevices> node.
Code:
<item>Earpiece</item>
so your final result looks like:
Code:
<attachedDevices>
<item>Earpiece</item>
<item>Speaker</item>
<item>Built-in Mic</item>
<item>Built-in Back Mic</item>
</attachedDevices>
Note: It is fine if you have extra or less items. You only have to worry about "Earpiece"

Hello thanks for this amazing guide. I am stuck at the 6th step. Could you please clarify on them. Using TWRP File Manager shows no system.prop and adb pull also failed. If you could clarify on this step a little. Thanks in Advance.

Mount vendor partition

Sorry if it's a dumb question, but I understood till step 5. Could someone please help me better with Step 6? The pull, vendor,....push. Really want to get this Pixel GSI to work.

Already did. Still same. We'd all appreciate it if you could clarify on that step with some more instructions as to how to pull and then push said file. Thanks

For step six
Use twrp file manager(advanced option)
Move system prop from /vendor to /sdcard(internal storage is called sdcard)
Edit the prop via pc
Put it back into internal storage
Move it again from /sdcard to /vendor

Hi, thanks. I already checked and there is no system.prop in /vendor.

Sorry, corrected it. It should be "/vendor/build.prop" and not "/vendor/system.prop"
Also, if you wish to do it entirely in adb from recovery, the steps are:
Code:
adb shell
cp /vendor/build.prop /sdcard
exit
adb pull /sdcard/build.prop .
Then modify the file and again,
Code:
adb push build.prop /sdcard
adb shell
cp -f /sdcard/build.prop /vendor/build.prop

I would say doesnt boot on 6T.

If you got to the point of bootlooping at the OS boot animation (not bootloader splash screen), it could be incompatibility issue. But if you didn't even make it to that point, I'd say something was not done right

Could someone pm me with some extra help on step 6? Really sorry. Also, would love if it can be done via TWRP itself

Has anyone managed to boot it on the OP6?

cant fix de speaker problem ... can u send me that file pls

In the op6/t we have official Q so what's the benefits of this q version?

i found a quick fix for fingerprint ... now this rom is complete

@vijai2011
stuck on splash screen
did all steps 2 times to be sure
using dp6
correction :-
the vendor the incomptible ( need to use vendor from oos dp3 )
flash the oos dp3 and then do the step
works then
but still we lost fastboot boot command because latest BL from dp3 oos is not having that command and you need to use boot img from this post for a recovery since you cant use fastboot boot command
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development/rom-pixel-3-xl-port-oneplus-6-t3856031
use vbmeta and boot image from this post
correction 2 :-
you can use normal steps also
1. flash oos zip 2 times to get on both slot
2. flash the gsi
3. flash dm verity disabler https://zackptg5.com/android.php#disverfe
4. flash magisk
