Moto E6 Twrp and Root

[McTRASH692]

I know it's only early day but has anyone found a root solution for the moto e6 plus?

Needing a new phone (hardware failure) and want one that can be easily rooted preferably with Twrp and Magisk,

I hope someone supports this device, since it is compatible with Proiect Treble

I am planning to buy this, hope there is TWRP and Root soon!

Probably wont get support, cuz of the mediatek chip! I hope I am wrong [emoji1431]

The most E4 had a mediatek chipset and it had a few various root solutions,

yes, I'm waiting to root

Root is possible. The way I achieved it is first to follow the official bootloader unlock method given by Motorola. Then install Magisk Manager V 7.5.1 (latest as of today). After that have magisk patch the boot image and recovery image, and flash them both through fastboot. It will say the boot partition is signed but when you Flash it to the recovery partition it will tell you the image is either not signed or corrupt. Don't worry about this, it does not affect loading back into system or back into the bootloader or recovery. Remember, after this you will have to boot through recovery every time you reboot or you will not have root until you do. Unfortunately I am still trying to work on TWRP, and it is going rather slow as this is my first attempt at compiling a custom recovery and I am no developer, and am learning as I go... Hope I helped!!!

Hey guys, I Need some help, I'm trying to unlock bootloader, but my device doesn't recognize fastboot commands like "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" Or "fastboot oem flashing_unlock", why?

Ps: Motorola drivers ok, usb cable ok, oem unlock and usb debugging ok

Hi extrnoob! Could you explain this process step by step? Inexperienced people like me don't understand your language xD

I couldn't unlock bootloader. When i type the command fastboot devices i get a string, but when i type fastboot oem get_unlock_data, i get this message “FAILED (remote: unknown command)”.

U are using CMD as admin, not PowerShell?

You can't unlock the bootloader. Don't bother with it. If you want something proper, get any device that's NOT from China, and especially form Lenovo (which is Motorola now).

**** LENOVO **** CHINA FREE HONG KONG.

I don't know if there's a moto e6 plus with enabled oem fastboot commands, it seems like Motorola didn't add support for oem unlock in this phone but maybe if we could get a hold of the download agent for Sp flash tool (since the device is a Mediatek powered device) and the auth file, we could get root via magisk patched boot.img
I searched for a little and i found nothing. I hope that someone manages to get a hold of those files, since the firmware is already available online.

Well, i managed to flash patched boot.img, but dm-verity is enabled and fstab is not on ramdisk because of project treble... now what

I beg to differ, as in developer option on the moto e6 plus there is a toggle for OEM unlocking,
I believe you need to get a code from Motorola to complete the unlock though,
I have not yet tested as I want to preserve warranty,

However with my moto e4 I was able to unlock bootloader and root without any issues,
Hell at one point I had to rebuild the entire system from an empty chip, (OS took me 4 Days) including rewriting the original imei numbers (that took me 2 weeks)
So no, lenovo is not as locked down as you seem to think it is,

As a side not, most phone are made with components that are built/assembled in China so it is actually quite hard to get a device that isn't at least partially made in China,

I know the moto e4 required a no-verity flash to accept root,
Unsure if there is one that would work for the e6 yet,
Certainly something to look for,

It was added, it's hidden away in developer options,
May require an unlock code from Motorola though,
