Hi, here is patched boot image for Moto G6 Plus. Flash it to acquire root permissions on your device.
Please make sure you have June Firmware OPWS27.113-45-4
Please DO NOT flash on different device, this is only for MOTO G6 PLUS (Evert)

Instructions:
1. Unlock Bootloader
2. Download patched boot image patched_bootOPW27.113-45-4.img
3. Flash it with following command:

fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
fastboot reboot

Old April boot image OPW27.113-45: patched_boot.img

Note: If you need to restore the STOCK boot kernel, you can get it from 2nd Post below. Thanks @manos78

Hi,

I confirm that this kernel works! So now you can root your device. :victory:
Thank you @jekyll86!

If you like to test it by hand (with unlocked bootloader), then "fastboot boot stock_boot-MotoG6+-OPW27.113-45.img" and when running Android, then Install lasted Magisk Manager and then update to BETA Channel. This will generate a new patched kernel boot image using your stock boot.

Regards.

Note: If you need to restore the STOCK boot kernel (for an OTA, for example), you can get it from my backup: https://www.sendspace.com/file/i2dxh4

Hi,

One advise: If you patched the kernel with Magisk or flashed this kernel, then you can't do wipe of data using the "restore function of Andoid". It will fail until you flash the stock kernel.

If you see an error, then reflash the stock kernel!
Save a copy!

Thanks, this works perfectly fine with the latest magisk manager (5.7.0) and i managed to get xposed to work as well as gravitybox. I can center my clock again and tweak notifications, navbar longpress and such.

Magisk's package installer did fail to flash xposed but with 3.1.5 xposedinstaller.apk it did work and it flashes and reboots just fine.

I'm working on testing substratum rooted now. I'm just YOLO'ing a AOSP compatible theme on it and i'll see what fails..

If I get into the mood i might even try to flash a 8.1.0 TREBLE version of LOS15.1 or RRO if i can get that TWRP to properly boot via fastboot.

Sorry guys, I'd like to help you but I have only G6Plus. If you want to root, you can follow magisk guide and patch boot image by yourself. It's not difficult

If the magick is for the Motorola g6 version, can you pass that guide please?

I have a question : you took the original boot.img of the firmware, put it into Magisk app and it gave you a pacthed_boot.img ?
I can't get this process working for the Moto G6 non plus that I got

Thank you for your time !

Thank you for your time !

That's it, what kind of error do you get?

Well this sub-forum is for moto g6, not moto g4, your device have a dedicated forum for it and there is already various methods for rooting. you should go look there

 

[Snearde]

Oh yeah sorry I mistyped on my keyboard I meant Moto g6 of course, nevermind this !

Hi !
Well I took the boot.img from the Moto G6 firmware in this subforum. I used magisk manager to patch this .img from my phone. (Boot.img was > 20MB whereas patched_boot.img is ~ 12MB, sounds strange..)
When I boot on this .img with fastboot, I got a bootloop and it gets back to the original kernel. So I tried to flash it, and it is stuck at boot. The "Warning, bootloader unlocked" shows the "N/A" code, and then the M logo shows up and never moves even after 10 minutes.

The fact that patched_boot.img is significantly smaller than boot.img sounds strange to me. I must be missing something.. too bad. I wanted to provide a patched_boot.img for moto G6 (mine is XT1925 reteu) on this subforum, but since I'm not able to boot from it it is not ready yet

It seems an issue with magisk manager that doesn't patch your kernel correctly. Report this problem in magisk thread.

Hi,

Please take note of this:

- Moto G6 and Moto G6 are a very different hardware devices: different SoC, different ROM, and different kernel. So, you can't interchange kernels.
- This forum is, in fact, for "Moto G6 family", that's the Moto G6, Moto G6+ and Moto G6 play.
- This thread in the Title indicates [Moto G6 Plus] so this kernel is only for G6+, it doesn't work in your G6.
- Before flash a kernel it's a good idea to boot it for try it. If it fails... never flash it!

So, your only solution is reflash stock G6 kernel. You have a copy of it?

 

[Snearde]

Yes, I only booted from the kernel with "fastboot boot" command, I didn't flashed it on my phone
Anyway thanks for your help, I will explain my issue on the magisk thread !

Have a nice day

With the bootlock unlocked, is the cell fhone more vulnerable?

Bootloader unlocking does not make your phone more vulnerable, but rooting it.
Normally, Android apps work in isolated environments and cannot gain access to other apps or the system. However, an app with root access rights can venture out of its isolated environment and take full control over the device. So if you install malicious app, with root access they can do more damages.
Root your phone only if you need to root it and you know what you are doing.

Hi I have OPW27.113-25 Firmware instead of -45. will this work any way? because I can't get my Boot.img to creat my own patched boot.img

thanks!

I advise you to update your phone. Anyway, you can test it without flashing with the following command:

fastboot boot patched_boot.img

if the the device boot up, you can flash it, otherwise don't flash and wait for update
