TWRP 3.3.1 & Root for Moto 1 Vision​

Thanks to the efforts of yuri-2016 and and my humble contribution, the TWRP 3.3.1 was made from scratch and a new method of Root was tested.
Accept this gift from the bottom of your heart! :highfive:

Instructions
USB debugging must be enabled on the phone and the bootloader must be unlocked!
1. Download attached archive TWRP_Root_Motne_Vision.zip and extract files from it in the following order::
- .bat executive file and vbmeta.img to the folder with the firmware files;
- TWRP-3.3.1_Motorola_One_Vision.img to \adb\ folder.
- TWRP-3.3.1_Installer_Motorola_One_Vision.zip, Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt.zip, Magisk Installer, MagiskManager copy to External SDcard in your phone.
2. Load phone in fastboot mode, then connect it to PC, then start an executive file .bat. At the end of flashing the phone will reboot into bootloader-mode and then TWRP again.
3. In the Recovery at the very beginning we put a checkmark in the checkbox to avoid this request in future, and give permission to modify the system for writing.
4. Go to the Wipe page and run the Format Data for decryption. Enter "yes" for the request. Exit to the Main Menu and reboot to Bootloader.
5. Attention! You mus BOOT into Recovery mode (DO NOT INSTALL it !), through the command:

fastboot boot C:\adb\TWRP-3.3.1_Motorola_One_Vision.img

6. Flash an archive TWRP-3.3.1_Installer_Motorola_One_Vision.zip which will make TWRP permanent.
NOTE: If you want to keep the stock Recovery , do not install this archive, but in order to boot into TWRP you will need to run the command from Step 5 every time.
7. Configure TWRP via “Settings”-page (time, time zone, language, etc.) as you want.
8. Go to “Install” page and flash the Magisk Installer , and flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt.zip
9. Reboot in System. Phone will reboot several times, don`t worry. Perform initial settings again.
10. Install MagiskManager.apk, because the application installed in the system generates an error and does not start.

Now your device has a custom recovery TWRP and Root rights! :good: :victory:

01/10/2019 New instruction have been made
30/09/2019 New build TWRP !!!
Fixed: Removed the "Enable MTP" button.

Note: Who will reinstall the new TWRP build over the old one, follow these steps:
1. Download new TWRP_Root_Motne_Vision.zip
2. Load into Recovery mode via the command:

fastboot boot C:\adb\TWRP-3.3.1_Motorola_One_Vision.img

3. Install TWRP-3.3.1_Installer_Motorola_One_Vision.zip
4. Flash Magisk installer, Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt.zip.
5. Reboot in the Recovery again.
6. Try to adjust the brightness, connect USB-OTG, check the absence of the "Enable MTP" button.

Old instructions

Friends! I got the Root for this device.
I'm not saying it's the only way to get a Root. I suggest something I used on my own device.
You are responsible for everything you do with your device!

Getting Root was performed on firmware XT1970-3_KANE_RETEU_DS_9.0_PSA29.160-30

Attention! The process of receiving the Root will delete all your data from the device.
1. The bootloader must be unlocked on the device beforehand.
2. Extract files from the archive https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xgTVlIXOFWq59I1-D9bnRlj1heJycT_I :
- vbmeta.img, vbmeta_patch.img and boot_patch.img to the adb folder;
- MagiskManager-v7.3.4.apk to a convenient folder for you. It will then need to be copied either to the phone memory or to the SD Card.
3. Load the device into fastboot mode and connect it to your PC.
4. Flash vbmeta.img with the command:

fastboot flash vbmeta_a vbmeta.img

5. Flash boot_patch.img with the command:

fastboot flash boot_a boot_patch.img

6. Flash vbmeta_patch.img command:

fastboot flash vbmeta_a vbmeta_patch.img

7. Load the device into the system by pressing the Start button. Phone will reboot in Recovery where there will be a warning that it is necessary to execute Factory reset. It is necessary to give your consent.
The phone will reboot several times again, don't worry.
8. Perform the initial setup. Install MagiskManager-v7.3.4.apk.
9. Launch the MagiskManager application. He will offer to update the application, click the Yes button. The phone will reboot.
Your device now has Root permissions and access to the system!

Friends! I got the Root for this device. Tomorrow I will try to describe in detail the process of getting the Root.

Thank you so much!
That's incredible. I hope it works on Moto One Action too.

Unlock the bootloader
Download the stock rom
Install magisk manager
Click install and chose patch boot image
Copy the patched boot image to your PC
Flash the new image using ADB

I think these are the steps to root the phone

 

[AndresOrue]

Unlock the bootloader
Download the stock rom
Install magisk manager
Click install and chose patch boot image
Copy the patched boot image to your PC
Flash the new image using ADB

I think these are the steps to root the phone

Those step give you the validation img error

That's what a lot of people think. I thought so too.

 

[AndresOrue]

Thank you so much for the guide... I'll try in the afternoon

@ilia3367
Hello
I have a One Action, could you help me to get root?
Do I need to patch all those images with Magisk?
Thanks in advanced.

 

[ilia3367]

@ilia3367
Do I need to patch all those images with Magisk?

Make a modified boot.img with Magisk and take my other files. Try to do it according to the instructions.

Thank you so much for your help and work!
I'll do that when I arrive at home

Hey! That's really good news pal. Do you think I can flash your Vision's vbmeta.img and vbmeta_patch.img and my magisk-patched boot.img on my Motorola One Action?

Replied on the previous page.

 

[Tuandroidaldia]

Replied on the previous page.

Nope, it's not working on Motorola One Action, it says: "<bootloader> validation image failed" using my Magisk Patched Boot.img. Did you patched your boot using another tool or how?

Thanks.

 

[AndresOrue]

@ilia3367 Finally Rooted. Thank you so much for your work. Very appreciate!

what about vbmeta? was possible to flash it?

 

[AndresOrue]

@ilia3367 before Root and after unlock the bootloader when I touched the system update option, it said: "system integrity is compromised" now after Root when i touch it , it check for update again. It means that I can update the firmware via ota?

Magisk probably hides the bootloader status so that update check works, but it will most likely fail during install. At least that's how it works on moto one and moto one power.
On moto one I either reflash current build without wipe and then take ota and re-root after, or just flash the update if I get them early, and re-root-

 

[ilia3367]

It means that I can update the firmware via ota?

I don't think it's possible. The system must be completely virgin to update the OTA. Then why do I need a Root? I need it to customize the system.

Thanks a lot. I just unlocked my BL for the second time and this root method is working fine.
May I ask if you just used magisk manager to patch boot, cause when I do I get error on flash.

(bootloader) is-logical:boot_a: not found
Sending 'boot_a' (33792 KB)                        OKAY [  1.172s]
Writing 'boot_a'                                   FAILED (Status read failed (Too many links))

And how did you patch vbmeta?
I'm just curious since this patched boot isn't the latest and I wonder how to make this work with the latest boot.img from September patch update.
