Great guide, worked great.
I couldn't get adaway to work because it can't write to system partition. What's the best way to get system wide ad blocking?
Also, is there a call recorder app that works on Android 10?

Thanks for the guide.
I am getting a security update message on my phone. It won't apply in-place, it gives an error. Is the only way to get the latest security patch to redo the magisk patching and then flash? I'd have to reinstall all apps and personal data afterwards?

No, you just revert the boot.img and apply the update.
Before prompt to restart, go to Magisk and install after OTA on unused slot, and reboot from there
Your data is not affected
Will this guide work with usa t-mobile Motorola Moto one 5g ace (XT2113-2) Android 10 software variant t?
Can an android 11 boot.img be magisk patched and then flashed using this same guide?
Yes. But since there is a working twrp, and flashing the app with twrp is the preferred method, why?
wow before I could download the script and do testing xda shuts it down, anyone have a copy of the script and can host it on another site or something, really would like to get RW on SYSTEM partition... I even went to github and several other sites and it all leads back to a closed thread with no download link... really sad i tell ya
Sure. I have it stashed in my Yandex Drive. Folder name "Downloads". Help yourself.
hey Thank You , I will see what I can do, but now I can't let the creator know what I figure out but I can always post about my log file, thnx again.Sure. I have it stashed in my Yandex Drive. Folder name "Downloads". Help yourself.

10.This tutorial is for people like me than ran into problems rooting the Moto One 5G Ace XT2113 (MetroPCS Qualcomm Variant) running on stock Android 10 and 11. I got this phone literally last week brand new in the box. This is a hand holding guide for the Noobs that really are intimidated by rooting their device.
Follow the following at your own risk! I am not responsible for any mishaps with your devices.
I want to thank @mingkee and @sd_shadow for pointing me in the right direction. And for the rest of the contributors that I took bits and pieces from that helped me figure out rooting this; I did achieve root out the starting gate but initially lost touchscreen functionality. The issue was that you have to use the boot.img of your firmware to patch into Magisk; if you do this with your phone out the box you really don't know which firmware was used and that is where the bungle happens. This will clear up all those potential freakout moments.
Thanks to Android 10 being System As Root with all these new super partitions running amuck, you cannot get Write access in the actual system files. So even when you achieve root, you can't do much. @lebigmac is working on that as we speak. Drop by his thread on R/W access and beta test his script so he can get more knowledge about how our phone works.
Introduction/Preparation
First, go and prepare by READING EVERYTHING. Very important. This is the Qualcomm variant and NOT the Mediatek variant. Flashing does make a difference between the two. Last thing you want to do is brick the device because you flashed the wrong firmware to the wrong processor, or you flashed other software for the other similiar Moto One 5G and it bricked.
Second, unlock the bootloader. All T-Mobile and their subsidiary variants can be unlocked by Motorola as well as International and Motorola factory variants; go to their bootloader official unlock site and follow their instructions, it's easy peasy. If you do it in firefox it may not go to the third step page and hang on the page where you put the long code in (follow instructions on page to get the unlock code you'll see what I'm talking about). It is HIGHLY ADVISABLE to do this in Waterfox or Chrome (I used Waterfox). And yes, you may have to request the code 3x to get it to send to your email depending on their server traffic. When you get it, follow Motorola's instructions for unlocking the bootloader in fastboot. It will show you that the bootloader is unlocked.
Verizon and ATT Variants CANNOT BE BOOTLOADER UNLOADER UNLOCKED.
***NOTES SO YOU DON'T FREAK OUT***
1. I did NOT see the motorola post screen telling me it was unlocked. I had to find this in fastboot's menu.
2. The only way to restore the phone if something goes wrong is by flashing it via fastboot. The way to get to fastboot is turn the phone off and press Volume Down and Power. The Motorola tool will NOT work. That's normal.
3. You will see a cute message that you've unlocked the bootloader and that the phone software integrity is compromised when you boot the phone up every single time after the bootloader unlock. It will also say press the power button to pause. This is normal. Give it a minute, you havent broke it.
4. OEM Unlocking should already be activated and greyed out in the Developer Options once the bootloader is unlocked; you can't access it anymore.
Files
You will need an SD card for root. You will also need other apks to successfully help you pull off root ready to install. Pull ALL the necessary files you will need.
1. Get Minimal ADB and Fastboot (it's easier).
2. Download the Motorola Drivers from their site if yo don't already have them (if you run into problems you will have to uninstall and reinstall them through their utility which is found on PC here: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Motorola Shared\Mobile Drivers
3. Cpu-Z.apk (Very important, its hard to know your hardware without this).
4. Magisk v22.0.apk (They no longer have a separate Magisk Manager)
5. Root Explorer.apk (This software helps navigation better but you can use any Explorer of your choice).
6. Root Checker.apk
7. Stock Firmware XT2113-3_KIEV_RETEU_10_QZK30.Q4-40-62_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-XT2113-3-EU-SAR_CFC.xml (This is important if you mess up the boot image trying to root). You can get the firmware of your choice at Motorola Official Firmware For Kiev.
8. Patience (and a good movie keeping you going).
As of now this device as no TWRP, so you have to do this the old fashioned way to root. And just so you know, I used Windows 7 for all of this.
Pre-Rooting
1. Make sure the phone is fully charged.
2. Make sure your sim card is REMOVED from the phone. Everytime you wipe the phone or do anything messing with the boot image the phone resets itself to factory settings, and tries to push an update. Just take the silver key thing and pop it out. You will have to push it back in and out in a second, but start with it out.
3. Make sure your wifi is OFF.
4. Make sure your SD is in and mountable and all files you need are on the card.
5. Make sure you Save boot.img to your SD Card from your firmware files. This is very important for root.
6. Make sure your developer options are activated.
7. Make sure your USB debugging is enabled AND you've given permissions for your computer to have administrative access with it enabled (more on this below).
8. Make sure to check CPU-Z for your hardware specs so you download the right files for the phone and avoid potential problems.
9. Make sure you manually set USB to Transfer files (no other option will work and by default its set to Charge this Device).
10. Make sure you have the STOCK CABLE that comes with the phone. Like most Motorolas this model is funky about using other cables.
11. Make sure you back up all your calls, texts, pics, etc. Flashing the firmware is the ultimate factory reset and you will lose all your files on the phone. SMS Restore is a good software to backup Calls and Text logs and it supports keeping MMS.
12. Make sure you have the internet. It is necessary for some steps.
Rooting
1. Make sure all the firmware files are extracted into your Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder (or whatever ADB folder you're using for this).
2. Open FlashFile.xml in Notepad. This is located among the firmware files you put in the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder.
3. Cut, copy, and paste everything from the FlashFile that is shown and then paste it in an online Flash file Converter. I used Online Flash File Converter here.
4. Convert the text by pressing the bar below where you pasted the text. It may be in Spanish or Portuguese but is should say something like Cerar Commandos.
5. Copy the text by hitting the two pieces of paper icon in the corner after it's converted. Or just cut copy and paste manually.
6. Turn the phone completely OFF.
7. Plug your phone via USB cable into the computer.
8. Press Volume Down and Power to boot into fastboot mode. Do not use "adb reboot bootloader" as that command may or may not work and hang at "waiting for device" (it was iffy for me and it knocked off USB permissions BADLY).
9. Open up Minimal ADB and Fastboot (Make sure you don't have it set to open this as an administrator, it messes with permissions) Make sure your firmware files are in the Minimal ADB directory or it won't work.
10. Paste the contents of the flashfile converter into Minimal ADB and Fastboot. This should start the process of the flashing.
11. When the entire flash is complete, boot the phone and disconnect phone from the computer. Ignore the bootloader unlock error.
12. Wait. Sometimes this takes up to 3-5 minutes on a new flash. You should see the boot animation of Motorola.
13. Push your Sim Card back into the phone.
14. Start setting up your device on the screen. Sim Card must be in or it will give you a message your phone is Network Locked.
15. Once you make it to the Wifi Setup screen take the Sim back OUT the phone. Do not connect to Wifi.
16. Once you are done with setup, go to Settings>About phone.
17. Go all the way down to Build Number and press it until you unlock Developer Options.
18. Go to Settings>System>Advanced>Developer Options. Advanced is a pull down tab that will reveal Developer Options.
19. Disable Automatic System Updates. I know this is hard for some people, but a forced OTA update may cause problems and prohibit root.
20. Enable USB Debugging. Disable Verify bytecode of debuggable apps. Disable Verify apps over USB if it is highlighted. Exit.
21. Put your SD/Sim card back into the phone.
22. Go to the Files folder and install Magisk first, then Root Explorer and Root Checker.
23. Open Magisk. You will see Magisk and App. Hit Install by Magisk (a fingerprint looking icon is to its left).
24. Allow Magisk to access photos, media, and files if it asks.
25. Select option "Select and Patch A File."
26. It will take you to a screen where you can select your explorer to navigate to your SD card where you saved the boot.img. Go there and select it.
27. Magisk will save it as magisk_patched.img. Once you get it patched, find where it saved, make sure it's on your SD card and then turn off the phone.
28. Plug your phone via USB cable into the computer.
29. Press Volume Down and Power to boot into fastboot mode.
30. Open up a fresh Minimal ADB and Fastboot (Make sure you don't have it set to open this as an administrator, it messes with permissions) Make sure you transfer the magisk_patched.img that Magisk patched off your SD card into this folder.
31. Rename your original boot.img to "boot.img original" or whatever distinct name you want to give it in your Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder.
32. Rename your magisk_patched.img to boot.img.
33. In Minimal ADB and Fastboot type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and hit enter.
34. If all goes well it should flash to the partition before it says done and in how many seconds.
35. When it is done, reboot phone by selecting START (keep pressing volume rockers until you see it, then press the power button).
36. Wait for the bootloader cannot be trusted screen to pass (may take a minute) and wait for the Hello Moto opening.
37. Open Root Checker and confirm root. You can uninstall it after confirmation if you like.
38. Open Root Explorer. A prompt asking you to grant permission should pop up.
Congrats. You should be rooted now.
***NOTES SO YOU DON'T FREAK OUT***
1. Do NOT flash someone else's patched boot image. It WILL NOT WORK. Do the work, find your firmware, and patch the boot image yourself. You're asking for bootloop hell if you do as your boot.img that Magisk patches needs to match that particular firmware you used.
2. While it hasn't happened to me, You may have followed everything perfect and it still bootlooped. Save yourself the frustration and just flash it over. See the next section on the proper way to flash so you don't lose your baseband, IMEI, or any other important stuff.
3. While you won't lose anything just flashing boot.img, you will lose everything having to flash ALL the firmware over. Keep backups of all your important stuff.
****Notes on Flashing The Stock Firmware if you have to****
In the event you bootloop and have to start from scratch, follow my guide on restoring the firmware on the phone. And don't worry - it won't relock the bootloader. You can find my guide here: The Complete Noob Guide to Flashing via Fastboot MetroPCS Moto One 5G Ace XT2113 [Qualcomm Version]
Hope this helps my fellow TMobile and subdiary acolytes and othoers. I have flashed and reflashed my phone with different variant roms trying to force Write status and beta testing scripts for @lebigmac on our device so it's pretty straightforward now.
I will try and answer questions if I can or point you in the right direction.2This guide seems a bit incomprehensible. I mean, it's good and if you follow it, knowing what you're doing because it's not your first root process or anything, you'll get there...this is just a bit drawn out for me and complicated. This is my guide:
1. Download/install magisk.apk from magisk's website.
2. Goto https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/kiev/official/ and find/download your variant (TMO for T-Mobile stock, AT&T for AT&T and RETAIL for unlocked version, etc etc)
3. Unzip the file you just downloaded, copy boot.img to your phone's external sdcard (or internal storage if you don't have external)
4. Open Magisk app, install by selecting "Select and patch a file..."
5. A popup appears, allow file permission if needed and select the boot.img that you moved to your phone.
6. When magisk is done, connect your phone to PC again and take the magisk_patchedboot.img off and place somewhere safe on your PC.
7. Goto your phone's settings, About Phone, tap Build Number until you've become a developer.
8. Back out of that About menu to now see a new "Developer Options" menu
9. In "Developer Options", turn on "OEM unlocking" and USB debugging.
10. Open a command prompt in your platform_tools directory and type "adb devices -l"
11. You should see a prompt on your phone, click "ALLOW" to allow your PC to comm with phone's adb.
12. type adb reboot bootloader (I had already installed motorola drivers from having a previous moto G7 device; but even if you have just the google USB driver installed, you should be fine; if not, if you get a message that is saying "error, no device found" and you are sure the phone is connected to your PC, follow the link above or do a google search for the OFFICIAL motorola usb driver and install.
13. If you have to do install from step 12, do a quick reboot real quick.
14. NOW you can type adb reboot bootloader
15. Ensure your bootloader is unlocked by following THIS process... https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-c
16. now you should see "flashing unlocked" on the bootloader screen
17. run "fastboot flash boot_a (path to the magisk_patched boot.img from earlier)"
18. run "fastboot flash boot_b (path to the magisk_patched boot.img from earlier)"
19. reboot; enjoy. Find the Telegram channel for your specific device and be patient while developers are creating custom TWRP and custom ROMs/mods, as this is a fairly new device.
20. ALWAYS be thankful to people like the guy who made this original post and other developers for the hard work and hours they spend not only creating these tools and software but for also sharing with you.
21. When your phone reboots, go back to magisk, you should now be able to install magisk as a "direct install"
22. Install busybox module, at the least, for root to operate at the best capacity that is currently available.1
I said you were working on it. LOL. If it worked I'd be writing a Guide for that!1
That's what mine did, I flashed stock boot, is corrupted my phone says and forced reset, I'm newish to moto, Samsung for many years, had to ditch them tho lol.
I appreciate the help and hope I didn't come across as arguing, more like clarifying. I too prefer adb over anything, only get the rom from tool. Again thanks for info.1This worked for me on Moto One 5G Ace running on XT2113-3_KIEV_OPENMX_11_RZKS31.Q3-25-15-3_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-XT2113-3-MEXICO-SAR_CFC
