Will this work on the Amazon version?

 

[lohanbarth]

Hello, it should work

I would be VERY careful about trying to use the image provided here.

I picked up the Z3 today hoping to be able to build TWRP recovery with this image. Using the kernel from this image resulted in a permanently bricked device. It would no longer turn on. At all.

Second Z3, using the provided image's boot.img and only booting boot.img from fastboot... hung the device.

This tells me the linked image here is very likely to be incompatible with many Z3 Play devices.

The version I've tested it with is the US retus software channel version.

As far as I've been able to tell, this image is for French devices only. DO NOT use this image if you cannot confirm it will work by testing the boot image first.

Extract boot.img from the archive and put your phone into fastboot mode. Test it by typing "fastboot boot boot.img" - If your phone hangs at the motorola logo, this firmware WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.

The Z3 Play has NO FIRMWARE candidates on https://firmware.center - So, I repeat, the firmware linked here is likely NOT compatible with your device.

This firmware is for XT1929-4 and no mention is made in the topic....

The XT1929-4 is what I have and the firmware definitely did not work for me. I tried to build TWRP for the Z3 Play as I have for other devices and it definitely wasn't going to happen with these files. Even if you 'fastboot boot boot.img', it's supposed to boot like normal using the rest of the what is stored on your phone. Instead it only hangs.

there is this https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/development/tool-motorola-ota-link-generator-tool-t3537039

Has anyone been able to relock the bootloader in a way that passes safetynet. I noticed that phone boots with verity set at log only which fails CTS and I want to go back to stock until Magisk works properly.

magic works quite well if you patch the boot normally, with check marks.

Thanks, this did the trick. I was able to download use the boot.img from the lollinet mirror firmware zip. It does require both force encrypt and verity enabled before patching it or it will boot loop.

Will this work on the Moto Z3 (XT1929-17)?

You need a firmware image for your specific device. Check the websites from this thread and see if you can find one specific to your device. Other images could brick your device.

The steps should be the same for every device as far as fastboot flashing goes. But don't use an image for another device

Found the original vzw firmware on Moto's site.
Thanks!

The XT1929-4 is what I have and the firmware definitely did not work for me. I tried to build TWRP for the Z3 Play as I have for other devices and it definitely wasn't going to happen with these files. Even if you 'fastboot boot boot.img', it's supposed to boot like normal using the rest of the what is stored on your phone. Instead it only hangs.

So I have a Verizon Moto Z3 (Brand New XT1929-17, NO XDA Thread yet) I found the firmware off the Motorola site at this link https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=279604 (last file). I unzipped it, copied the boot.img to my adb folder and executed fastboot boot boot.img and this is the result:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot boot boot.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.622s]
booting...
(bootloader) permission denied!
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.633s

My goal here is to modify a boot.img so I can root with Magisk without unlocking the bootloader. (Verizon devices don't allow unlocking the bootloader)
Any help would be appreciated.

Your bootloader is locked. Being a Verizon device, it's likely not unlockable.

You have to have an unlocked bootloader before you can boot and flash in fastboot.

This is why people buy unlocked devices.

Hi, I have the Moto Z3 Play. This is the updated Firmware that I have on my device. I felt I should share it, just in case anyone else needs its. I also added a couple of simple batch files to the folder that I thought everyone might appreciate.
FlashRoot(Service) - Will automatically flash the phone with the patch_boot.img instead of boot.img. This will flash the rooted version of the boot image that was made with Magisk Manager. (Must be in Fastboot)
Flash - Stock --Will automatically flash the regular boot.img also with all the other stock files to the phone. (Must be in Fastboot)
