    Thread Unrooted and bootloader relocked, but OTA still fails

    I am currently on PPWS29.183-29-1-9. I did have root (Magisk) and unlocked bootloader, but I did a factory reset and re-locked the bootloader. My device keeps *trying* to take the OTA to PPWS29.183-29-1-12, but it keeps failing with the notification "Software update unsuccessful - Your Moto Z3...

    Post Magisk General Support / Discussion

    Question - I was using my phone to "smart unlock" my Chromebook. Then I rooted my phone, and smart unlock doesn't work anymore. I'm guessing there is something I need to hide with Magiskhide, probably a system app or service. My phone is connected to Chromeos, but the smart lock option is...

    Post Root Z3 with Magisk

    Problem solved! In the Magisk Manager app settings, I had storage set to use the SD card. When I switched it to internal storage, magisk works fine now!

    Post Magisk General Support / Discussion

    On my Moto Z3 Play, I used the boot image patch method to install Magisk. Now I have Magisk Manager showing "Magisk is not installed". I get the following when I run magisk from an ADB shell, so it is installed and magiskd is running, but permission denied is not good. Any suggestions...

    Post Root Z3 with Magisk

    Hmm, that is interesting. Did you try going back to the previous version of Magisk that actually worked? Do you remember what version it was? Maybe I'll try that.

    Thread Moving apps from SD card to internal doesn't work

    I have a stock, unrooted, factory unlocked Z3 running Pie (PPW29.183-29-1). My SD card is a brand new Sandisk Extreme 128GB V30/U3/A2 formatted as adoptable storage. I have one app in particular that I'd like to move from the SD card to internal storage so I can use the widget it provides. I...

    Post [RETUS | MOTO Z3 PLAY] New pie build OTA!

    It's not an AT&T thing. I got my Z3 Play retail unlocked and carrier-free, and I'm still waiting (frustrated) for Pie.

    So was it Pie or just an Oreo security update? No update for me yet (also a Z3 Play USRET). Still on the Jan 1 Oreo security patch :(

    Post [OFFICIAL XDA] Navigation Gestures - Get iPhone X/OnePlus style gesture control

    It's not just you. I think it's an Inbox problem. I'm not even using Nav gestures anymore - I deleted it from my phone. I still get the black clipping at the bottom of my screen just as in your screenshot.

    Post What made you choose this phone?

    1. Battery life and Moto Mod ecosystem 2. $150 off retail ($100 Moto discount now expired but probably will return soon, $50 Best Buy/Cricket Wireless promotion still valid) 3. Came from a Moto Nexus 6 which I really liked but was showing its age. Also had a Moto Atrix 4g years ago which was...
