your link seems dead or not correct. - edit: link correct, was not working due to my vpn...
I assume he patched a G8+ boot.img with magisk manager.
boot image can be extracted from official Doha firmware found here: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/doha/official/
manual on how to do this can be found on official magisk manager website.
be aware that when unlocking bootloader your phone will reset to factory settings.
This is what I did. Yes..
Worked great for my G8+. I guess people should just check which stock ROM file they get from lolinet to make sure it's the right one. I say that because, in my case, lolinet list had two files for the Brazilian stock ROM. I went to Settings / About / Version number and downloaded the matching file. Don't know whether the other file would work the same or not. Just didn't want to risk having any issue since G8+ is somewhat new and there's not much info on solving root problems on the Internet.
Hi,
Couple of questions
Does the Bootloader have to be Unlocked to flash the modified Boot image?
Or can I use update option?
Are Motorola releasing unlock numbers for Bootloader now?
Thanks, Carl

Hello, Carl. I guess it's not possible unless there's a flaw in the security. There are some articles on the Internet about that. Google "is-there-a-way-to-root-an-android-phone-without-unlocking-the-bootloader". I can't post URLs yet.
As for Motorola devices, I was able to unlock the bootloader without problems on my G8+, last week. The only caveat, I'm my case, is that I had to wait some days for the unlock bootloader option be available under developer options. It was disabled by default in my G8+. And, yes, they're releasing bootloader unlocking codes.
THANKS!
Have anybody with a rooted device tried to get wide angle camera working in gcam ports?
Thanks.

magisk module debloater and also sdmaid helped with most of the bloatware, the only thing I could not remove was google files but I just deactivated it.
a really weird thing happened with the April 1st update, basically the update started automatically and it failed at 3/6 so I tought I should restart my phone and test it again, but it got stuck in bootloop and I had to reflash a rom with fastboot cmd.
I think that's because I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my phone, cause u lose the right for updates after you do that, but for some reason lenovo/moto update system goes automatically the next second u connect to the internet and fails halfway thru so u have a higher chance to ruin your phone or something, instead of denying the update from the start
so the solution I found was to try and delete "moto update service" app that I can't force stop or disable but I couldnt find it in system/app or system/priv-app, that's because the app name is "3c_ota", so deleting that with SD Maid app worked and the "update system" option in settings is reverted to a sort of default android one that lets you check manually.
Had a similiar issue. I soft bricked my phone (bootloop) and installed a stock rom from an unofficial source. The funny thing is, this version did make like 3 or 4 system upgrades to PPSI.29.65-51 without any issue. But the 1st April updated failed to install. I then flashed the official 1st april stock image with the moto rescue and smart assistant. After that, the official ROM tells me my phone is not allowed to do updates because the security of this phone is compromised and I should contact lenovo support
Those upates are kinda annoying if they don't work, I guess I'll just completey flash the phone every 6-12 months with the moto assistant.
yeah you should always have a backup rom that you can download with moto assistant or from lolinet g8 roms (https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/doha/official/)
I also got the same message saying that my phone is compromised ( unlocked bootloader + rooted) and it won't receive any further updates, but I just deleted the "3c_ota" app (the moto update service) which is bad cause if forces automatic updates the second u connect to internet.
I'm not going to touch any further updates or security patches until android 10, which I will attempt to flash via moto assistant

Moto G Stylus 5G offers pen support and fast connectivity on a budget
Motorola has introduced its Moto G Stylus 5G. It costs $100 more than the 4G model but has better specs and, of course, 5G connectivity.
www.xda-developers.com
Just picked one up tonight. Fingers crossed on devs coming over. Cheers
Just got one over a week ago, so far I have root w/ lsposed, This "Moto G Stylus 5G" section is technically the thread for this device, but I see most of the 5G users using the "Moto G Stylus 2021" section or "Moto G Stylus 2020 (Moto G Pro)" section, so make sure to look at those sections for community tools and roms that may support this device.
Bought a 5G Stylus a couple weeks ago it's nice finally having a moto phone that doesn't destroy fine details due to heavy noise filtering on the main rear camera, the ultra wide cam isn't so great quality wise but it can take some interesting shots at least.
I'd still like to see what a Gcam port would be like, it did wonders for my previous G7 Power's camera abilities.
You can get the Cam2 API enabler magisk module and get Open Camera, it works better than any gcam version I could find, pretty good zoom control.
EDIT: Make sure to enable Cam2 API in Open Camera's settings
Definitely a device worth working on. I will for sure help out where I can.
Please help. I am currently attempting to root my device. And flash stock rom I am using an adb software bugjaeger. I'm newewwww don't know what to doooooo

If the "moto stylus G...XT2131-1" is this forum's Moto G Stylus 5G (2021), then the phone doesn't yet support 5G either; ATT calls their 5GExtended 5G, it is not. they appear to be moving toward true 5g this year sometime, but their "5G" is 4G+tweaking. T-Mobile network does support true 5G
from motorola page, Moto G Stylus 5G (2021):
Device not compatible with all networks; compatible with T-Mobile® 4G and 5G, Verizon® 4G and 5G, and AT&T® 4G networks.
I cannot find a TWRP that specifies it can work with this device, the Moto G Stylus 5G (2021).
is there a safe version, or are the 5G owners waiting? I hadn't seen any TWRP that listed any Moto stylus models of past few years either.
Related: I'm getting ready to move my apps/settings/data from my current G7 Power, to this new Stylus 5G. While I am able to backup all except system via ADB to my computer, I had read the bridge is not as stable or reliable as it had been, especially on restore.
Is there a comparable tool that can be used like ADB, without unlocking bootloader or rooting?
Thus I started looking at TWRP and how to go about rooting (either of my Motos, G7 or Stylus 5G). Peeling through the onion, I have seen several notes that unlocking the phone bootloader will wipe all the data. Is this true? If so, it changes the process a bit.
Having the bootloader unlocked appears to be requirement of rooting, if not please correct me. I want to root the phone so that full backups w/app data, and other maintenance are available.

Hi - I just got this phone, and I like it. Its stock for now, been a minute since I rooted and rommed a phone.
But -
How do i format the SD card as internal storage??
Also, how do I swap the back/recent buttons? They're backwards from how I've been using them for a decade or more and it's pissing me off that I open my recent apps every time I mean to go backward...
Thanks in advance for the reply!

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08NWD7K8H/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
I have a few questions.
1. Anyone using T-Mobil with this phone? Any problems? Special simcard for 5G or will my G7 simcard work?
2. Bugs or problems with the Motorola one 5G 128GB?
3. Does it come with android 10 or 11?
4. How easy to root?
Thank you.

1. Not on t-mobile.
2.I didn't find any bugs. I bought the retail us version.
3.It comes with 10. I am running 11 from Canada.
4. Root is easy, but not complete. You also need to get r/w access which is complicated but easy. Also any debloating requires the use of pm from an ADB shell or as a terminal command. There are good guides here on how to do all of this.
Custom ROMs are available, more on the Telegram channel.
Thank you Retief.
I went ahead and bought one and am setting it up.
One problem I'm facing is the touch screen is too sensitive. If I tap too forcefully near the top of a screen everything gets minimized (I forget the correct name for it). It's most annoying. Any ideas? Sensitivity controls?
Also, any way to get rid of the notch?
Thanks.
Mine is a usa T-mobile motorola moto one 5g ace, android 10, software variant t, model number xt2113-2, purchased April 20, 2022 from a T-mobile store. My old sim card would not fit. It's loaded with bloatware. I am also trying to root but its going to take some time to gather up all the correct programs and files so it doesn't brick. There's a Noob guide on this forum that offers great advice on how to root. I'll read it 5 more times before I do anything. If you do manage to root your phone please let us know how you did it.
I am rooted, r/w access obtained and debloated. I used the three guides on here.

That's terrific RETIEF.
Which 3 guides in here?
Did you hit any problems and if so how did you solve them?
Thanks.
The guides are in the guides section. The ones by Artcul8madness worked. Now that there is a working twrp, other methods are possible. You must unlock the bootloader first! I had no problems following the guides.
Thanks. Still a risky thing with bootloops, etc. I think I'll wait for the ota updates to Android 11 or 12.
I picked up one of these earlier this week (variant XT2113-2, 128GB just like yours) and am using it on T-Mobile in the US. It's working really well, no issues so far, and the 5G feels incredibly fast (it's my first 5G device - if speedtest.net is reliable, I'm consistently seeing >125Mbps download speeds in Los Angeles).
I specifically bought this phone to use with LineageOS, and the bootloader unlocking procedure and rooting went very smoothly. No issues at all so far with the device, LineageOS, or the unlocking/rooting.
Just as an aside, I opted for a used model off of Ebay, and they're going for between $150-$200 with the 128GB of storage ROM if you'd like to save some money.
Thank you for getting back to me. I too am well pleased with the phone and its performance.
I have been afraid to root it yet because of problems I read about.
1. How —exactly— did you root it?
2. Ive used lineageos on a previous phone. How well is it working for you on this phone?

Apologies for the delayed response, I thought I was set to receive email notifications for replies! I actually rooted it while flashing LineageOS - I first unlocked the bootloader by following the instructions on the LOS install page (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/kiev/install), then flashed Lineage Recovery via fastboot. From there, I rebooted into Lineage recovery (NOT the OS/system, it'll overwrite the new recovery), flashed the LineageOS ROM, then followed that with GApps and Magisk.
See the link I posted, you'll root it at step 6 under "Installing LineageOS from recovery". Download Magisk from here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk, rename the .img file it gives you to a .zip, and you'll be able to flash it at Step 6 above via sideloading or over a microsd, same with google apps.
Lineage is working well so far! The only quirk is that the lockscreen likes to randomly wake up, but I'm not sure if that's just my secondhand phone's fault. Wifi calling and VoLTE all work on TMobile.
Let me know if I can be of any more help!
Thank you for getting back to me. You are very kind and helpful.
When I get enough courage I'll follow in your steps.
Hello, Can any smart person because I'm slow lol help me get the Recovery or the Boot.img for a Motorola Edge 2021, My version is 12 (S1RMS32.48-18-11-2-3). Thanks

I understand that yes but my problem is that I don't have a laptop or PC to run the program so I'm trying to find another way to get the firmware for my Edge 2021, And if I can't do that is there any custom ROM compatible with this device that I could use to patch it with magisk?
So far I have not seen any custom ROMs supporting this device (I think it should come eventually; the last gen has support).
This post includes a download link for an up to date Android 11 ROM. I haven't used it yet though. I'm a little nervous about downloading ROMs from random links, but since I used the guide from the same user (last post you replied to), it feels trustworthy. But use at your own risk.

oh forgive me for forgetting to mention this...
but I'm 99% sure you REQUIRE a PC to flash images onto a phone, since you use the adb debug tool to manipulate the phone while it's in fastboot mode.

I did try it but instead of fully flashing the img I just did fastboot boot so that it would only boot into it one time and it didn't work at all so my only chance of rooting my device is using a PC to get the firmware of my phone, And thanks for the help.
I've searched on this forum and Google days for any development on rooting the Cricket Wireless Motorola Moto G Pure (Ellis) XT2163-1 . Found a few stuff for XT2163-4, which is also Moto G Pure Ellis but for different carriers. How safe is flashing the boot image for that? How would I first make a backup before trying and, if failing, trying my hand at building TWRP Ellis? I did pay an unofficial service just to have my phone unlocked, but I don't know how to get any further.
