[GUIDE][ROOT][Moto G6 Play][JETER] TWRP, Root, and Magisk installation OLD guide

[Spaceminer]

I've been reading this guide for a while and the other one.

My phone is SKU XT1922-3, 32GB, channel reteu, 8.0.0, JETER_EMEADSDS_CUST, OPP27.91-87.

Bootloader is unlocked, flashed the twrp-xt1922-32gb.zip from spaceminer from post #360
Phone works fine, but twrp recovery will not boot.

Booting twrp with fastboot, I tried a wipe and format data, and flashed Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_05.21.2019.zip from the sd card, found here as recommended by spaceminer also on post #360.

After that, when the phone started, I got a screen "encrypting your phone" and the phone started as new, which I understand means nothing worked.

And twrp still does not boot. What next?

I'm afraid that although in the OP it states that "This has been confirmed to work on: XT1922-3 Model", which was one of the reasons I bought this phone, :crying:

the xt1922-3 is actually aljeter, same build number OPP27.91-87, plus when I type in fastboot: adb shell, it returns: aljeter:/ $. Let me guess .... there's no working twrp for my phone?? :crying:

It sounds like you didn't use the correct wipe option. Boot into twrp, select wipe, then hit the actual button that says "format", it'll require you to type in "yes" to continue. After that, reboot from twrp directly back into twrp, there's an option for that specifically in the menus. Then mount /vendor in twrp using the check box, and flash the encryption disabler. You should be good to go after that.

Side note; Make sure you are flashing twrp to your recovery partition, and not just booting it with fastboot. Unzip the file and use the command;

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Then use the volume buttons while still in fastboot to change it to recovery, and hit the power button.

I did just that. Format data failed, phone is now in a bootloop, with no fastboot connection ...

While it's boot looping, hold the power down button through a few loops, after 2 or 3, it'll catch and boot to fastboot

And you can format data from fastboot. Just use the "fastboot erase userdata" command

Thanks, I will try that tomorrow!

It's been figured out, it wasn't you

That should solve your issues

Do this work on the cricket Moto g6 forge

Do this work on the cricket Moto g6 forge

That's not even bootloader unlockable so ...
Cricket is AT&T. No bootloader unlock. No root. I'm sure you've seen this throughout the forum

 

[wilm23509]

No I didn't but thats good to know

No I didn't but thats good to know

I'd like to try reverse engineering the unlock process. If you'd like to help me, please do the following.

1. Go to settings > system > about phone > tap the build number 7x to enable the developer settings.

2. Go to settings > system > advanced > developer options > enable oem unlocking

3. Hold power+Vol↓ until fastboot shows up.

4. Using adb/fastboot, run the command fastboot oem get_unlock_data

5. Copy the result, and send me that string.

Brute forcing the signature would take millions of years. However, if I can get enough of these strings from other phones it'll reveal the pattern anyways. There's another guy on xda who wants to work on this too. I think if we knock heads together we might get somewhere.

You're going to have to rephrase this. I don't understand what this is supposed to mean.

Anyone with the Moto g6 play that has changed the filesystem from f2fs to anything else boot back into twrp and change filesystem back to f2fs and wipe delvik cache and wipe cache as well if twrp is unaccessible then as my friend in the post above has said twrp should error an go back to main screen if not please follow his instructions to fix in fastboot or also with fastboot run

Fastboot erase userdata

Fastboot erase cache

DO THIS BEFORE INSTALLING MAGISK OR SUPERSU TO ROOT!

Re-flash stock firmware via fastboot and reboot (**let the device completely reboot and finish setting up**)

AGAIN BEFORE INSTALLING MAGISK ROOT

once rebooted and set up is complete enable adb again then reboot into fastboot flast twrp install magisk manager in twrp and remember if you changed the filesystem and you are unable to boot system then reboot twrp recovery change file system back to f2fs wipe delvik cache and cache in twrp now reboot this should fix your problem.

ALSO ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR A FAST REPLY PLEASE DONT HESITATE TO EMAIL ME DIRECTLY! THAT IS WHY I POST IT!!!!!! SO EMAIL ME AT [email protected] WITH A DESCRIPTION OF WHATEVER YOUR CURRENT PROBLEM IS AND I WILL HELP YOU AS MUCH AS I POSSIBLY CAN AT THAT POINT IN TIME AS MY G6 PLAY IS CURRENTLY BEING REPLACED DO TO DEVICE HARDWARE ISSUES AND I DONT CURRENTLY HAVE ANY OF THE FLASHABLE ZIPS MYSELF AND OTHERS HAVE MADE TO FIX MOST ERRORS YOU MAY RUN INTO

PS you might try googling Moto g6 play twrp back up *hint this has always been my go-to option when using a PC wasn't possible for whatever reason my only access to Internet was another phone or tablet to download and save to SD card then put in the bootlooped device and try whatever it was I found not the best option but in a pinch it works.

Lastly Pro-tip DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT LET YOUR G6 BATTERY DRAIN PAST 0% ie SAY YOUR PHONE IS AT 5% AND YOUR PLAYING WITH TWRP AND WHATNOT YOUR PHONE WILL STAY ON UNTIL ITS PAST THE POINT OF NO RETURN AND WILL NOT CHARGE OR POWER ON NOT EVEN WITH THE CHARGER PLUGGED IN THIS IS WHY I DONT CURRENTLY HAVE MY DEVICE

Edited for "I learned something new"

 

[madbat99]

Say what.... Ummmm... It can't go past 0%... Cause rules. Just saying. If you get it to -5 % I wanna see. I'm getting jipped!!

In TWRP it will. Then yer boned
