Currently boost version radio is network locked and you can't unlock or flash Verizon rom on it. There are a bunch of people who are holding the 80 bucks version and patiently waiting for a custom rom that would be able to network unlock the phone. Join the queue or go unlocked.

I had this error

I think something is wrong with the command in the post.
Help please.

Right. Im at this step:

adb shell mount -o,rw /dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/vendor /vendor

but all im getting is:

At line:1 char:19
+ adb shell mount -o,rw /dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/v ...
+ ~
Missing argument in parameter list.
+ CategoryInfo : ParserError: ) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : MissingArgument

the rest works but im getting a bootloop at the logo

Edit:

adb shell mount -o,rw /dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/vendor /vendor <=this doesn't work; my command prompt doesn't register this as a command.

adb shell mount -o rw /dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/vendor /vendor <=this works but I still get a boot loop.

the difference is -o,rw and -o rw

I have the XT1922-9 btw.

I pretty much have the same problem as michelmmoraes

I had the same error. Is it the same the first command than the second?

Okay, thanks for the info.

Hi, i've a problem rooting the XT1922-4 (OPP27.91-87), i followed all steps, but after finish all, have a bootloop.

i had excellent results with a functionally root when i'd the same steps with the XT1922-4 (OPP27.61-14_4.), but with last upgrade don't run

please, can you make your awesome magic for this version? because, i have a problem with the touchscreen with the old version, this present lag when i used much apks, but with the upgrade, it's works fine

 

[michelmmoraes]

Boot.img XT1922-5 (OPP27.91-87 version)

Have you done any OTAs on the device? If you can post the stock boot.img you pulled I can try to edit it again and see if it helps.

So with this G6 Play.... Now that I have TWRP... if I chose to just simply flash an SU zip like SuperSU v2.8... or SuperUser v3.x... Would that work?

Probably. But two things: one, SuperSU will also install systemlessly, normal system root doesn't work anymore. And two, you'll be missing out on Magisk modules, which are pretty useful (though if Magisk isn't working right I suppose root is more useful).

Lucky Patcher seems to trigger the event as well. Usually after doing a 'Patch to System/Android' mod, and/or linking it to xposed.

Tip: don't mention Lucky Patcher. People here don't really like it. Probably because it's usually used for IAP hacks and removing ads, which developers depend on, and there's a lot of developers here.

Question:
If I don't want root, which step should I stop at? Because I think that the ADB shell mount command is the thing that doesn't work. If I stop before entering that command, would the installation of TWRP still work and not cause a bootloop?

Bootloop

Hello all!

So I followed all the steps and got a bootloop. I'm not at all good at this but should there a line aftertyping the line "adb shell mount -o,rw /dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/vendor /vendor", saying something like the command worked or didn't work, because I got no line.
The model I'm using is the XT1922-3.

Cheers!

EDIT:
So I tried again and followed all the steps. This time I get this error message:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell mount -o,rw /dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/vendor /vendor
mount: mounting /dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/vendor on /vendor failed: Device or resource busy

Does anyone have any idea why I get it?

Ensure you have the latest versions of adb and fastboot installed. They are linked in the first post.

You can download a stock rom from this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g6/how-to/moto-g6-play-firmware-downloads-t3819824
Ensure that it is the correct model.
Then you can extract the files into your fastboot folder. (It has to be all the individual files and not a folder inside the fastboot folder)
Then you can download the moto g6 play flash all zip in the attached files portion of the post.
Extract the bat file into your fastboot folder.
Boot your phone into bootloader and connect it to your pc.
Double click on the bat file and then wait for the stock rom to finish installing. The command window that pops up will close itself when it is finished installing.
Then you can boot up your phone normally.

Thanks for answering. Probably a dumb question, but how do I know which version I have. When opening the bootloader menu it says:
"Product/Variant: jeter XT1992-3 32 GB P4"
Is that how I look up the version I have?

And next, which .zip-file should I download from the list you provided. I assume I choose one of the jeters if I have a jeter and one of the aljeters if I have an aljeter, but which one?

Thanks again for the help. This is all very confusing for me.

EDIT:
So I tried the JETER_OPP27.91-35 and the phone is now messed up. Camera is not working, SIM card is not detected, wifi does not work, etc.
Should I try one of the other versions (jeters/aljeters) until the phone works properly?

Cheers

So how do we go about rooting the newest update for the xt1922-7. Haven't updated yet cause I don't wanna lose root lol

 

[Mr_You]

I removed it all without any tools except for adb and it doesn't come back. Here is the code I used.

adb shell
su
cp -r /oem/app/FcbkAppManagerSprint /sdcard
cp -r /oem/app/FacebookStubSprint /sdcard
cp -r /oem/priv-app/FcbkInstallerSprint /sdcard
cp -r /oem/priv-app/LookoutSprint /sdcard
cp -r /data/app/com.ironsource.appcloud.oobe-mMdx9tUtxjFcQlRhjRmqrQ==/base.apk /sdcard
mount -o rw,remount /oem 
mount -o rw,remount /data 
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm -rf /oem/app/FcbkAppManagerSprint
rm -rf /oem/app/FacebookStubSprint
rm -rf /oem/priv-app/FcbkInstallerSprint
rm -rf /oem/priv-app/LookoutSprint
rm -rf /data/app/com.ironsource.appcloud.oobe-mMdx9tUtxjFcQlRhjRmqrQ==
reboot

If you run all of those command it will backup your annoying APK's to the /sdcard folder if you need them later and then delete the originals and then it reboots your device.
The ironsource appcloud apk is the thing that reinstalls the Sprint bloatware apps over and over again, so removing or disabling that is key to keeping the crap gone.

FYI this broke the XT1922-7 stock firmware update script. It complained that /oem had been modified.

After flashing stock firmware partitions (including oem) I was able to update.

Also it seems TWRP couldn't decrypt storage in order to attempt to perform the update.

Did you perform the OTA update prior to attempting these steps? If so the steps won't work. A new boot.img from the update needs to be used in that case not the old one.

Yes I did, I followed the link posted to re flash to stock and I got it up and running again. I tried to install the ota updated but it gives a error when I try to install it. Seeing how my phone is refusing the ota updated, could I repeat the steps to get it rooted? If so I assume I'd need to re wipe in recovery correct?

 

[ninjakira]

I haven't updated yet because I'm rooted but I would like to. Seems my question got ignored on what steps I can take to update without losing root lol

Any chance we can get an updated boot.img for the post-OTA version for XT1922-7?

My post-OTA boot.img can be found here: https ://drive.google.com/file/d/1KvCpXFnU84N-7zDPTWJELRawxjBorWwG/view?usp=sharing

Thanks so much for your work, it's super appreciated by myself and the community as a whole.
