Just finish root. how to use magisk to delete verizon And Amazon apps ??

Just run these in a console when connected with adb to the phone :
pm disable com.amazon.phoenix
rm /data/data/com.android.systemui/files/boot.ad*

pm disable com.gotv.nflgamecenter.us.lite
pm disable com.vznavigator.Generic

pm disable com.amazon.widgets

pm disable com.amazon.kindle
pm disable com.amazon.dee.app

pm disable com.imdb.mobile
pm disable com.goodreads
pm disable com.audible.application

It is mentioned in the first comment of this thread.

At this point, your best option is SunShine. Unless you can survive on temp root, then that's fine as well.

You won't get free bootloader unlocked or permanent root. Why? Because developers are not interested in this device anymore.
The exploit exists, the CVE paper has detailed information on how to make it work. The exploit for Bootloader unlock exists. The developers of sunshine made it public a while back.
And to be honest, if there was going to be a permanent root tool, we would have it by now. Auroprime could've done it quite easily by simply modifying the current autoinit root. It's not difficult if you know what you're doing.
But he didn't. Because he simply has no interest in it.

So the chances of us getting permanent root or bootloader unlock are close to zero. So don't hold your breath. It won't happen. Unless a known developer picks the project up, which seems unlikely since SunShine already exists.

This may not be what you want to hear right now, according to @DuringSummer, but I have left it. I'm tired, I'm annoyed, and quite frankly, almost to the point of insanity. It pisses me off that I have to say this, but I'm done with working on this. Trying to juggle this and real life is quite literally impossible. I'll tell you what I have managed to figure out in the month I have been absent, the bootloader is unlockable, it just requires modifications to the aboot file, which won't work, the bootloader will see this and reject it. I have also figured out that root for the other devices could be possible by taking their respective boot images and compressing them with magisk injected. I never claimed to be a Linux developer, I just know a bit. So, if anyone else is interested in continuing this, go ahead. I'm tired, I'm annoyed, I'm quite literally insane. It hurts me to type this, it hurts me to admit that I couldn't be helpful, and most of all, it hurts me that I failed all of you on this thread. Say what you will, but just know I actually tried. Maybe someone else will get lucky and get it. But as for me, I'm done working on this, I've been at it since either August or September. Sorry to everyone who believed in me. And most of all, I'm sorry to myself. I hope you will understand my situation and be rational people about it. Goodbye, moto, Voltz100999 signing off.

I'm truly sorry, and it's not because I lost interest, it's simply because I'm tired of juggling life and this.

Don't you dare be sorry for anything! I've been watching this thread from the beginning and you are one of the biggest contributors that has done a lot! You're the one that brought temp root and this whole new system with initroot to my attention. You've gotten me interested in systemless anything really. For all of your work I am TRULY grateful for your dedication and hard work! You deserve every last bit of praise that's coming your way.

On another note, I've been messing around with my Arduino and jtag/uart. I almost have my jtag rig completed and a serial rig will not be hard at all. I recently dropped my xt1609 so when I get another phone, I'll be tearing this one apart and playing with this phone on the chip side. I can't promise anything soon but if/when I do find anything out, I'll be sure to PM you and update this thread for sure!

Hey, you learned a lot and left a trail of useful information that others will benefit from. Unlocking the bootloader via exploit is nearly impossible for all the reasons that you discovered. Yes, there are occasional (rare) successes when manufactures punt on due diligence and get sloppy. Leveno/Moto has been burned before (hello, Sunshine!) and likely won't make the same mistake again.

You failed no one, especially yourself. Learning is an excise in failure. Think about everything you have accomplished in life and how many tries it took to get there. Recognize you were going up against a global team of engineers with expertise cryptology. The David and Goliath fairy tale rarely plays out in real life.

So now it's time to take care of yourself, regain confidence and apply everything that you learned over the past 6 months to the next challenge. That may be a private affair or one you choose to publicly share. It may or may not have anything to do with phones, Android or technology in general. Learning, failing and picking yourself up to fight another day are what make us all a little stronger, a little wiser and ultimately a whole lot happier.

Enjoy some time off.

Thanks for the kind words. I hope I can enjoy some time off. But there's a guy jackhammering the road because it's frozen over right now.

The fact that you tried is what matters. And sorry? What are you sorry for?
Hey I tried too early on, but left it because it wasn't something I could do. But you kept on going for quite some time, which is something I admire.
So Good Job

SUNSHINE app cannot root the XT1609 variant, SUNSHINE did work on the Verizon HTC Desire 626 I have but what ever encryption used by Verizon/Lenovo overlords on the XT1609 blocks the SUNSHINE app from rooting. I have have tried every few weeks with a new version of SUNSHINE with the same failure message. With XT1609 you do not "own" the phone. Also with the XT1609 you will not see Android 7.1 from Verizon...

Thanks for that man. It really did get quite vexing working on it for so long. But I'm honestly glad I at least tried to do it.

Need help. I rooted and got carried away. I tried editing the stock YouTube and bricked my xt1609. After reinstalling and flashing all stock firmware (also tried Verizon repair software), it refuses to ask for Sim Unlock code (for my straight talk Sim).
Could this be something I disabled via adb before? Any help is appreciated.

Update: Turns out the MEID/ IMEI got zeroed out. Is there anyway to repair it? I found aguide using MTK Engineering mode, but I beleive I have snapdragon.

I've been gone for about 6 months now. How has progress been. Do we have root for XT1609, a custom recovery, SuperSU?

No ROOT for XT1609 Verizon. SUNSHINE and KINGROOT have been a NO go. Also no Android 7.1 from Verizon.

No, sadly. I had too much going on and had to stop my research.

i have this problem

I flashed a stock img and then re-ran the auto#initroot

I just cannot figure this out, I've spent two whole days screwing with this.

I run the autoroot, install magisk, then I made the sh file as per

thrasher194com said:
I used a Windows 10 pc. Created text file copy n pasted the code from post#2, then rename boot.sh

After which I moved the file to my sdcard with USB. Then thru the terminal I used commands
Adb shell
Su

Chmod boot.sh +x

mv boot.sh magisk/.core/service.d

Sent from my LG K20 Plus using XDA Labs

but I moved the file first to service.d, and then instead of chmod boot.sh +x (which gave me errors), I did chmod +x boot.sh, but it didn't give any sort of response.

It'll boot into the bootloader with several errors about hap and boot image I think.

I flash a stock img and it then boot loops on the logo, the first time, I reran the autoroot and it booted, the second time I rant the autoroot and then uninstalled it and it booted

*Sigh* so much time wasted

EIDT Now I cant make or receive calls, just ends the call immediately, data and text work

hello,

I have installed #initroot successfully on my XT1254 but then I decided to uninstall it but when I rebooted my phone into the Fastboot mode it failed with the uninstallation process. I also tried to disable #initroot with this Code: fastboot oem confirm fsg-id “” , but I have received this error:
https://prnt.sc/ib3571

then I tried to reinstall #initroot but without success.

now I'm stuck in the Fastboot mode, I can't boot or factory reset my phone.

Please Help! how can I repair my phone? can I reinstall the stock rom somehow?

thanks in advance for your answer!
