Have anyone here successfully rooted the latest Nougat (NPJ25.93-11)? I tried to root with both SuperSU and phh's SuperUser but it gets stuck with a black screen when trying to boot.

Same here!

Sad to hear that... Thanks for your contributions to the g4 development!

On android 6.0.1?

Yes .. for Android Marshmallow 6+

For fixing wifi , torch and saavn problem..
Moto G4 plus...

 

[dempixels]

well.. it did not root my moto X play XT1562.

I followed every step. it did boot, but it did not give me root permissions. somehow.
this so far is the only method not causing my device to soft-brick

should I try again?

oh and I am a noob so I am gonna ask this ultimately stupid question (man, I sound like an asshole):
if the device soft-bricks, and I have the backup. how do I use the backup to recover my previous installation?

 

[Bender1987]

Well, you know this guide is for Moto G4 (Plus).

With TWRP you can "restore" your backup.

 

[SoNic67]

Android 7.0 cannot be rooted at this time. With no known methods.

 

[Florensie]

Now my IMEI doesn't show up anymore, my SIM isn't found, I can't find any networks, my IP address is gone, my mac address is reset. Do I restore the backup? Should have been clearer that it's for marshmellow only.

EDIT: I restored my backup and it's fine now. But I sure did almost have a heart attack.

 

[Bender1987]

Well in the first sentence of the guide it's mentioned “6.0“.

Well in the first sentence of the guide it's mentioned “6.0“.

I know but it should be in the title and it's easy to skip over non-bolded normal sized letters.

As you wish...

A quick question...
Can I safely update supersu app from the google play, if I have it systemless installed, together with suhide ? I have a oneplus 3.

 

[Florensie]

As you wish...

Thanks! That should keep other users like me from doing something like that.

Sent from my Moto G (4) using XDA-Developers mobile app

 

[Bender1987]

@magnum73
Sure you can, but no idea if suhide make some problems together.
@Florensie
I do not believe you can stop other users to doing something stupid if they do not read the whole text. It's like reading terms and conditions, nobody do that xD

Seems to work on my Moto G4 Plus

SKU: XT1644
Android: 6.0.1
M8952_70009.08.03.45R ATHENE_RETUSA_CUST
Kernel version: 3.10.84-g061c37c
SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031

One strange thing happened after I loaded the TWRP image and made a backup (but before I installed SuperSU using the method here).

After the full backup, my 64GB Amplin micro-SD card stopped working as "internal" storage. I told Android to "forget" the card and I tried again but I cannot get the system to accept the SD card as "internal" storage. It always gets stuck at 30% for a very long time and, upon reboot, 10 hours later, reports a corrupted card.

It does work as "Portable storage" but I don't think that requires a full format (it "formats" too fast to be full) and is probably unreliable as Portable storage too.

Any thoughts on this? Do you guys agree that the failure is probably just a coincidence with unlocking the boot loader and loading the TWRP .img file to make a backup?

Do you think I best get a new micro-SD card? What brand is reliable in these phones?

One other thing....gMTP (running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) normally works bi-directionally with my phone but it only works to download files from my Moto G4 Plus to my Ubuntu system when TWRP is booted. I cannot transfer files from my Ubuntu system to the Moto G4 Plus when the TWRP image file is booted. Is this normal? It might make recovery from a soft brick iffy! I still need to get an OTG cable and try file transfers directly to a disk drive or flash memory. I guess I should post this question on a TWRP thread somewhere, but it was a bit of a surprise in the process here (the example here used OTG, which I could not do without a cable).

[HELP] TWRP system backup for XT1642 DualSIM UK

I've made a huge mistake.
I created a system backup in TWRP before rooting as recommended but later when I wanted to move the backup to my PC, I accidentally deleted it instead.
Meanwhile I've installed ElementalX to my system partition and thus I have no chance to get the next OTA.

Does anybody have by chance a TWRP backup of MotoG Plus XT1642 DualSIM UK (preferably MPJ24.139-63) system partition ?
I think it doesn't have to be a phone from the UK, it should be the same in all of Europe.

@Bender1987 After reading all the 22 pages of this thread, I am sure that this is a full proof thread to root the device. However before rooting my device, I would like to know if Xposed works perfectly or not (some users have confirmed it, still want to know from the OP himself ). Also my primary motive for rooting my device is to install adfree or adaway (to block the ads), which in itself modifies the system (hosts file), hence I would like to know if after rooting can i safely proceed for the said app. Thanks in advance

 

[toppits]

Can't say anything about Xposed, but adaway v3.2 supports systemless root. I got root with this method and systemless adaway so I'll be able to get OTA-Updates. Works fine

 

[Bender1987]

@Shahbaz23
Never had Xposed installed, so i don't know. And as you read: I sold my G4 Plus.
@dsmid
Just flash stock ROM.
