Will there be a version for Pie?
I rooted mine after updated to Pie using Magisk patching method (I have full ROM)
Same TWRP for Oreo or PIE but official one won't install Gapps while unofficial one by DeJello will (11/2018)

I just got a Moto G6 (XT1925-6) to replace my smashed Pixel OG. Like an idiot I updated all the way to PPS.29.118-11-1 (May 1st Security Update). Bootloader Unlocked. Is there a guide somewhere for Rooting Official Pie and flashing TWRP?
Update March 23, 2019: I'd like to apologize to everyone. It looks like I am not going to be able to actively keep this thread updated like I used to. I have had too much going on at home an work and it doesn't look like it's going to settle down any time soon. The thread is still usable so I will leave it open for discussion.

Notes:
If you have any other issues please let me know and I'll work toward fixing them! AS ALWAYS, IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU USE THIS SOFTWARE
- Decryption is finicky: Currently only vold decryption is working. This image must be flashed to properly decrypt. Updates may cause issues with decryption.
- If you format data (Not just factory reset) after decrypting you must reboot into recovery and format again.
- If you are unable to unlock your phone after restoring a data backup that had a lock code on it (and TWRP is able to decrypt using default password) you'll need remove the '/data/system/locksettings.db' while in TWRP. After that you should be able to reboot into Android and set a lock code. If you cannot then please use this thread as a guide and try again. Bascially you just delete more, however I was able to boot after just deleting the one file with a pattern set (Maybe random luck, maybe not)
Known Issues:
- I have just noticed some odd behaviour if you input an incorrect decryption password/pattern/etc in twrp. It can cause an issue while entering the lockscreen password/pattern/etc while booting up. Under normal circumstances these two are the same, hence why restoring can also cause a similar issue, though that one is easily fixable. The onIy way to clear the decryption pass is to format. I am unsure at the moment what is causing this, but clearly it has something to do with the decryption. At this time I'd say it'd be best to remove your current lockscreen password/pattern/etc before booting into twrp to avoid this issue. A possible work-around would be to reboot to twrp, enter the correct password, back up your data, format (reboot to twrp and format again), then restore your backup (and possibly need to delete the '/data/system/locksettings.db' file. Your data would still exist that way. I am going to work to fix this asap and maybe see if I can get another build without decryption made for official use for now.
- Flashing zips that require BusyBox will not work with the official version right now. I've built an unofficial version to use until a new official build is triggered.

Hi @dejello
I need your assistance if you could help. I have gone through most of your posts and i think you are the right person who can assist me right now.
Scenario:
I originally had xt1925-13 indian model which i successfully rooted and installed custom rom but afterwards it was hard bricked by mistake.
I realized it little late but then i took it to the Jtag service and the guy doesn't have the same model so i had to provide the mmcblk0 available in xda by someone and it was for xt1925-2 brazil model i guess.
Now my phone model has changed to xt1925-2 which seems illogical and soft bricked. Jtag person couldn't restore it and but it is stuck in soft brick loop (bootloader). Additionally, it also shows oem locked and when i try to flash any stock rom, it gives an error pre validation failed. Please help.
Is there any way i can restore it and get my imei numbers back.
Thank you in advance.

I'll need more details if I'm to look into it. I also have an xt1925-6. Any logs? What version software are you running? What kind of lock screen are you using (pin, password, pattern, none, etc)? What happened from booting twrp up to the point of decryption failure? The more information I have the better chance I have at rectifying the issue.
Hello, could you consider supporting the Moto g 6 play xt922-4 I'm welling to help out with logs or anyfile if needed.
There are certain reasons there is no official twrp for our moto g6 play devices yet. Is there issue your having?. Dejello supports the regular g6 and for all intensive purposes I've being doing support for the g6 play.
