I updated an old thread on this. Long story short I have another G5 plus and rooting it is going nothing like rooting the first one. In theory, I should be able to just pull an image from the first one and use TWRP to restore it, skipping the EFS partition. I have the correct EFS backed up on...

Going for round 2 with the Moto G5 plus. I haven't had any trouble since September 20 aside from needing a screen replacement (I dropped it). Wife broker HER screen on a Galaxy J3, so she's getting a G5 plus. It's backing up its stock ROM now. I made a backup of the install on my phone with what...

Recently I dug a couple of smart phones out of the closet with the idea of getting as many as I could working in case I needed one. This Galaxy S Duos 2 fell off my drum kit one day and hit the hi hat pdeal, shattering it's digitizer. I had three on the shelf, none of the three work. The phone...

Next step was getting Magisk 16 on there with the TWRP flashable stock ROM. That was a simple process. I put Joey krim's Root Checker and Root Explorer on also and ran them both to try and remember create the loss of root problem. Root stuck like duct tape... for now. I looked through Magisk...

Update: TWRP flashable stock room appears to be working. Gonna make a nandroid backup of it, grab the Magisk 16 download on *this* phone and then head off to bed. Will attempt root again later this week. Thanks ya'll!

I found the thread on TWRP flashable stock roms and am downloading one now. I also found my credit card statement, which reminded me how much I spent on that electronic curse... and I ought to actually put some software on it and use it. Been running the g4 play (harpia) for a bit as I got a...

Will look into those when I get home. I patched up the g4 play that got crushed by a clothes dryer (oops) and will run it a few days while I work out the g5 plus. For full unroot do I need to return to stock recovery or can I keep TWRP? Does Pixel experience have anything to do with the Pixel...

Ok. TWRP is version 3.2.3-1. I went into the thread above and downloaded Magisk 17.1, which is claimed to be the most stable release. I downloaded the Magisk uninstaller. Next I booted into recovery mode to restore the stock ROM I had used at first (with my apps loaded on it) and uninstall...

I have two backups: one with the stock rom that was losing root and one with the custom ROM above that I took an hour ago. The phone has had Oreo on it and gone back to Nougat, I think with the stock rom. I took the first backup when I thought I had everything running stable on the stock rom. Is...

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75114774&postcount=236 This is the guide I used to root the phone. All the files I needed came from the links there. I went through step by step and, once I finished I ran Root Checker to verify root. Next I flashed super su and went about...

I just bought a Moto g5 plus and rooted it, evidently successfully. Every time an app tried to access the system folder, root access was lost. I could not access the system folder myself to fix the problem without losing root. Magisk did nothing. Every time I tapped it, it showed nothing but...

Link to modded Odin to skip SHA256 I tried loading up One Click Root on my laptop and it said it couldn't find its servers. I also tried flashing twrp for a similar Boost phone, (SM-J327p) knowing there was a risk of bricking it. My J327a was free and I plan to stick with my Moto, so I could...
