Unlock critical is allowed and already known thing but this is for flashing bootloader and stuff. It doesn't help us at all for now.

There are already many rooted tmobile g7 sold in China.

I found a possible root it looks like it will work with any lg g710 Oreo. Is this not the case?

So it's a fake post for one (actually not exactly fake I would say more clickbait then anything) two I believe the T-Mobile version is the G710TM, three we have a gimped fastboot as in it doesn't work at all. And four I think our only option is something to do with LAF

No it's not the case see my previous answer

We should be able to get around this gimped fastboot by incorperating that boot.img from the EM varient into an "update" once the phone is cross flashed. To 710EM it will have "adb update" command (it will also think the update is for itself since the firmware matches what were flashing we can put this into a flashable.zip (im like 75% sure this is how its done). Then use the command "adb update boot /path to patch boot/" alternatively could we incorperate our patched boot.img into a kdz and flash it with a patched LGup? Once the phone is rooted with magisk we could use the twrp app to flash twrp and fastboot commands wont be extremely relevant
The problem is, how to remove or get around the correct oem unlock allowed verification system. Unpacking a .img and editing is not a problem, i am just not exactly sure what to edit.

I'm will definitely get root on every other device but there's two things that stop us.
1) it's impossible to extract anything from a kdz and a .up file (LGs way of updating)
2) dm-verify (but it's possible to get around)

So for dm-verify I know how to manually get around that and the patch thats floating around via flashable.zip. What do we need to extract from the .up or .kdz? Im pretty sure there is a full kdz dump for the 710EM in a thread I read through just last night? I really believe the only obstacle we have is making the bootloader unlock through a command line independent of the official unlock code. This should be able to be acheived by editing that in a way to where it doesnt check much like dm-verity. Then you can flash your (patched by deletion) boot.img run fastboot oem unlock ( btw did you know that "fastboot oem flashing unlock critical works) **could run that then flash an unlock.bin, then fastboot oem unlock unlock.bin** I am working with a 710pm varient. And am speaking from experience rooting the v30 ls version currently using G7 as daily driver
This leaves me thinking that we have lots of wiggle room here (also leaves me thinking how weird LG is for having a lot of variation within G7)

Amazingly this week I was able to extract everything from any kdz file. The problem is that repacking requires certificate and we don't have it.

There is no cross flashing on the G7 (or V35 or V40) unless you want a brick. LG got smart after the V30 WTF exploit and now uses a different RSA cert for every model.
Don't take my word for it, please feel free to try -- make sure you have insurance

Yes but we will figure it out eventually so we can flash the EM firmware and unlock the bootloader then root and install TWRP then AOSP. I am waiting on my octoplus box to arrive then I'll be testing cross flashing for others to sort out what's needed.

Thanks! Is this the de-facto latest version as of today? Can we fastboot flash these directly from any other patch level or should we go in sequence? (for instance, I am on PP029.114-16..)

It is the latest at least the latest the LMSA app picks up. You can fastboot flash this over any version that is older. If you ever flash downgrade your device is bricked. During flashing just omit the step to clear userdata unless you're factory resetting.

Well I decided to try fastboot flashing this from PP029.114-16 and now I am getting constant restarts after the Motorola image appears.
Trying to fix this...
I uninstalled Magisk beforehand and did a userdata wipe at the same time when I did this.
---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------
Performed the fastboot sequence again and it is working

Does anyone know if this will work with the Amz variant? I have an unlocked bootloader, fastboot flashed the RETUS PPO29.114-16, and have Magisk installed.
Edit: corrected errors

US Retail
Unlocked from Best Buy.
Using Verizon sim.

My g7 is bootloader unlocked and rooted with Magisk. Is there a way to use the Rescue feature on the LMSA tool to download the firmware updates? When I connect my g7 in fastboot mode to my PC running LMSA, LMSA pops a dialog box "device is not supported". My g7 is XT1962-1 that I purchased through Google Fi.
My previous mobile phone is a Nexus 6 and when it was supported by Google the firmware was posted on the Nexus website on a monthly basis. I'm struggling with the process for the g7 firmware images.

So, I am on a replacement phone now. I took the latest OTA and this got me to PPOS29.114-16-5-2.
So, it doesn't look like PPO29.114-16-7-2 is released for OTA yet? I'm not gonna flash anything that doesn't pop up on my OTA going forward..

LMSA won't help you on a rooted device plus all it does are the same directions I provided. Might as well do it yourself.

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, there seems to be some confusion. Let me try again.
1. The repository at mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/river/official does not appear to me as an authentic Motorola repository. Why would Motorola have a Paypal.me link at the top of the page for Li Huixia in Shanghai?
2. You previously provided the firmware I'm currently using

Did you use the LMSA tool to download this zip file? If so, do you have a device that is completely stock (i.e. bootloader locked, no root)? If you didn't use LMSA to get the 114-16-7-2 firmware, where did you get it? It's not on the lolinet repository site in the river/official/RETAIL directory.
3. Coming from a Nexus 6 phone, I used this site ( https://developers.google.com/android/images ). I've been trying to find the equivalent site for Motorola firmware images that is an authentic Motorola repository.
I'm not trying to be impolite or argumentative, but details matter when dealing with software and hardware.
Thanks.

HELP ROOT MOTO ONE 5g ACE (XT2113-2) Android 10 from T-Mobile

Hello: I'm using the guide clintongsan made to root a usa moto one 5g ace android 10 purchased in april 2022 from a T-mobile store here in the south on the east side of the mississippi river.
My build number is QZKS30.Q4-40-95-9 The last build number on this link

Will that work for me since I have 95-9 and that one is 95-6 There is a grayed out statement that there are 68 more subfolders but I don't know how to access it to see if my build is there. Also on the Motorola website for unlocking the bootloader, Get your device ID, there are examples for compacting the lines of code into a long string. The examples are for Windows and Mac. I'm using a Linux laptop and no example exists. The Moto site gives a link to download SDK tools. Is there a site where I can download the minimum tools required? Probably more questions to follow for sure. Thank you

Honestly I've been trying to figure out the best way to go about this as well. My fiance is interested in having her phone rooted. I'm just trying to figure a well to where i can just access the boot image off the phone somehow so i can patch it using magisk. well obviously backing up the original image first, but i've heard twrp doesn't work and i tried using QFIL to see if i can access it but i don't think it has EDL. If you figured out a way to do it without flashing a older update to the phone. Please let me know. I'll do the same after I look into it a bit more. I feel like i'm just over complicating somehow lol I have a tendency of doing that.

Is this what you're asking for?
How to install ADB on Windows, macOS, and Linux
A step-by-step guide to get you started with the Android Debug Bridge tool.
www.xda-developers.com
As for 40-95-9 firmware, a sure way to get that firmware is Moto/Lenovo's "Rescue and Smart Assistant", aka "LMSA" (search, should be easy to find). Use the Rescue option and stop (EDIT/ADD: let the download finish), go to the folder where it was downloaded (make sure to get the download link shown in the utility) and find the firmware in the ".../ROMfiles" subfolder I think it is. That's the full firmware including boot.img. I used that subfolder to reflash the entire 95-9 firmware. EDIT/ADD: But this assumes Rescue and Smart Assistant on Windows, NOT Linux. I don't know if there is a Linux version for that, sorry. {--Or do you have a Windows emulator in your Linux that might solve this particular issue?--)
I DO NOT KNOW -- yet -- if 95-9 is rootable or even unlockable. Unlock failed for me on a 95-9 phone . . . although I did get an Unlock Code from Moto (on a Windows PC).
So this is a question back at you: HAVE YOU MANAGED TO UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER on your 95-9 phone?

Yeah it was on 95-9, just make sure to read through the thread cause I kind of messed up in the process but once you flash twrp and boot into it, flash the kiev file and magisk. I had to keep reading. I flashed to both partition a and b.

kanines said:

The answer is yes.
First, using Rescue and Smart Assist, DL the latest rom for this model this model. I used TB_J616F_S000046_220311_ROW.
Next go to C:\ProgramData\RSA\Download\RomFiles\TB_J616F_S000046_220311_ROW and you will find the boot.img files. Copy it to a folder on the tablet. Remember where.... duh.
Install Magisk 25.2 which is the version that I used. Follow Magisk instructions to "patch" the copied boot.img file. When complete, copy the patch boot image file back to your Adb/Fastboot folder, normally X:\platform-tools.
Put your tablet in fastboot mode and run: fastboot flash boot <name of patched boot.img file>.
So, there's no need to ask questions as there are a least a bizzion guides on the internet on how to do a "Magisk boot.img patch and flash".

there is a diff between download mode and fastboot, just so u know, you need adb and fastboot from Androids SDK tools, you can find online, depending on ur computers OS. Also, ADB commands work with ur device on n plugged into the computer fastboot is for commands when ur in fastboot mode

Yes...
1.) Install USB drivers (I used this to detect fastboot mode: https://motorola-global-en-uk.custhelp.com/app/usb-drivers/)
>> NOTE: With your tablet in fastboot mode, you might have to go into device manager and manually update the drivers for your "unknown android device", pointing it to the usb drivers from the previous step)
2.) Install the lastest ADB and Fastboot software
3.) Unlock your bootloader!
3a.) Enable developer options -> Enable OEM unlocking
3b.) Enter fastboot mode (turn tablet off then hold power + volume up until just after it vibrates)
3c.) With your device connected to your PC, type fastboot flashing unlock in command prompt
4.) Look for the current latest stock rom TB-J616F_S240138_221026_ROW_SVC.ZIP
5.) Extract it somewhere on your PC, and copy boot.img to somewhere on your device
6.) Install Magisk v25.2 on your device
7.) Follow the rest of the installation instructions here: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
If all went well, after rebooting you might get a warning about your device being in "Orange State" and therefore cannot be trusted because the bootloader was unlocked... This is normal, and your instinct might be to run the command fastboot flashing lock to get rid of it, but THS IS A BAD IDEA because it could place your device into a "Red State" requiring you to unlock it again, effectively wiping your device

Can it play Redbox (free video app) OK after rooted?
If it's OK, I think Netflix and Amazon Prime will be OK as well

Yes, but you will need to do the following...
1.) In Magisk, make sure you have Zygisk enabled in the settings
2.) Install this Magisk module, then reboot your device:
Releases · kdrag0n/safetynet-fix
Google SafetyNet attestation workarounds for Magisk - kdrag0n/safetynet-fix
github.com
3.) Use YASNAC (from the app store) to verify that you pass the safetynet check (it passes for me)
4.) Uninstall Netflix, then manually download and install the latest Netflix APK from your favorite APK site
I didn't test Redbox or Amazon Prime, but I would imagine it'd just be repeating step 4 for each additional app you wish to install

The reason why I asked because A12 can make those video apps don't work even after passed safetynet and play integrity (2/3) and apps installed
However, those apps work on OnePlus N200 and 8T but NOT on Moto Edge 2021

Alright well I decided to take the time to check Redbox, and it works (or at least the Watch Free feature does)... And I don't have a prime account, but the prime video app makes it to the sign in screen, if that helps

Good!
I will make a backup on mine (I have Yoga 11 and practically they're the same) and unlock the bootloader and root it.
The reason why I root it so I can do adb on other device without laptop.
Actually, I have a lot of experience to root variety of machines, but what happened on Edge 2021 A12 puts me on hold on other Moto/Lenovo
I have Netflix and cable apps (Sling and Philo) and Discovery+.

Well just so we're on the same page, the steps I've posted were specifically for J616F, so your mileage may vary if you're using a different device. Also, I would maybe use a more specific stock ROM, since the one I posted is also specifically for J616F

I have to make it clear. I have both P11 plus and Yoga 11

I have the P11 Plus J616F model and cannot get the device to unlock after many attempts with wiping device reinstalling firmware reinstalling device drivers. Does failed (unknown status code) after (bootloader) sysytem-fingerprint:Lenovo/TB-J616F/TB-J616F:12/SP1A.210812.0 mean anything to anyone. I can adb reboot recovery, from recovery I can use the keys to choose fastboot and tab goes into fastbootd and fastboot devices returns my device fashboot flashing unlock starts but ends with the failed message above. fastboot getvar all returns a bunch of information about the device but also stops with same failed message. If I choose reboot bootloader using the keys on my tab while in fastbootd tab reboots to FASTBOOT... shows up in device manager as you would expect but typing fastboot flashing unlock returns waiting for device. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Question Motorola Edge (2021)

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

You can download a factory image straight from Motorola themselves, using the Lenovo "Rescue and Smart Assistant" (Lenovo RSA).
I personally used this excellent guide from another user right on this very form, that also mentions grabbing the image(s).

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.
