Hi everybody!

I just updated my rooting guide! https://gist.github.com/eexit/e6d5fc0984e1c7f25376d3dafa819792
The new process KEEP disk encryption so when unrooting the device, you don't mess up with encryption and have to do a factory reset :(

Please test and provide feedback.
Thanks!

Your method working very well, after I read & Tried few times finally my phone can come up with latest magisk beta (14.5). My phone is XT1710-09 variant. But I switched twrp with this : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298984288
Most important part is don't flash twrp unless you have original firmware & Made backup first. Thank You so much for share

Hey everyone,

I can boot to the twrp3.2.1-0-albus.img recovery image using fastboot. I can unplug the phone from the computer and go back and forth between bootloader and recovery and everything is fine. Once I go to the stock ROM, everything is smooth there, but going back to recovery from there, I get the default recovery with the Android on its back and chest open. What am I doing wrong here? Please help :)

Same problem here, but I fixed it. Just flash a package like Magisk Manager or BusyBox.

    TWRP 3.1.1-0 Moto Z2 play (albus)

    Latest TWRP changelog :

    3.1.1-0 full changelog


    Working/Bugs :

    I have just basically tested and all seems to be working (including decryption of /data). If something is broken lemme know.

    Please do read the installation guide note !

    IMPORTANT NOTE :
    • At first boot twrp will ask for "Swipe to allow modifications for /system" and if you choose to allow it system partition will get modified. So if you choose to reboot back to OS without performing anything in twrp, the OS won't boot (as verity check is enabled in stock OS/kernel) . To avoid this you have to flash either SuperSU or flash any of the verity disabler zips there in xda

    • Force encryption is enabled by default in stock OS and twrp will successfully decrypt /data at first boot if all goes well

      If in case decryption doesn't go fine, twrp will popup a dialog box asking for password and that means decryption went wrong and you would need to wipe data once via twrp wipe options and reboot back to twrp for functioning of /data



    Installation Guide :

    • Make sure you have unlocked bootloader
    • Reboot to bootloader
    • fastboot flash recovery twrp-****.img (if you want permanent flash) or fastboot boot twrp-****.img (if you want temporary
      boot)

    Okay, I figured things out. I wrote a nice step-by-step rooting guide if you guys are interested: https://gist.github.com/eexit/e6d5fc0984e1c7f25376d3dafa819792

    [...] Does this work then? [..]

    It works, but there are a couple of bugs.

    I can confirm that the version of Magisk mentioned in this post works, as yunzo mentioned here.

    After flashing recovery, the phone does not boot any more when you select write access to the system partition. You have to either flash dm-verity disabler or the Magisk Version mentioned above. Another thing you can do to get the latest Magisk version is use the updater-binary from the version that works and put in in the zip file of the current version. If you use another version then you'll get mount error on install. I've attached a zip file with the changed updater-binary.

    I can also confirm the bug mentioned in this post. I could only flash files from internal storage, sd card access does not work. I had to restart recovery a couple of times for decryption to work though. Don't ask me why.

    The bug where the recovery does not register any inputs unless you turn off the screen and turn it on again also occurs on my device.

    If you don't want to have the "bootloader is unlocked and can't be trusted" message on power up, the logo.bin from this post works on the Z2 play.

    Make sure to backup everything before messing with your phone.

    @Santosh M could you repack your twrp with the kernel of the one linked by @romhippo.com ?

    Added systemless support and external sd is fixed.

    Is there a method of getting root on the Unlocked Moto Z2 Play? I can't seem to tell what tools are merely advertisements and whether one has honestly had success.

    Are you saying TWRP doesn't work with the device at all, or just after flashing the Magisk zip?

    The TWRP in this thread appears to be incompatible with retus based Z2 Plays. I was able to build a TWRP that works for our devices and to get the device rooted with Magisk.

    I have a thread up for this now.
