Think you mean "soft brick" locked my bootloader several times always got my phone running again. Ideally tho don't lock bootloader stupid move hahaha. Pain in the ass to fix ?

1. For that, you can sideload oos.
2. Which Rom are you on?
3. Go to TWRP, wipe, advanced-wipe, select internal storage, format it (use ext4, don't fall for f2fs myths). Note: you will loose data, please backup first.
4. Well, you can use titanium backup for easy Backup/Restore.

[HOW-TO] How to SuperSU the Moto G5 Plus (Rooting Guide)

Hey guys,
Thanks to @vanche for the modified kernel and twrp recovery and @fayiaz for the guide on how to root and @Johny Cipel for the original guide and everyone else like
@topjohnwu
@santhosh
@abdyasar
For the original twrp, root and other stuff.
Now thats out of the way
Requirements:
-Unlocked Bootloader (Moto G5 Plus with offers from Amazon won't have unlockable bootloaders but if you buy the standard model from them then you'll be fine)
-Vanche's Modified TWRP from here (http://cloud.vache-android.com/Moto/potter/TWRP/twrp-3.1.0-0-potter.img)
- Vanche's Modified Boot Kernel from here (http://cloud.vache-android.com/Moto/potter/root/potter_boot_test7.img)
- Vanche's Wifi Patch because wifi will stop working after flashing the modified boot kernel (http://cloud.vache-android.com/Moto/potter/root/wlan_custom.zip)
- Chainfires Root http://download.chainfire.eu/1021/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip
--- If you already have TWRP on your phone, the one by Santosh, you must flash the one made by Vanche or it wont work and you can just download the recovery image and flash it via twrp by toggling the flash zip button on the twrp recovery install menu.
1.. Download all the three files then boot your phone into bootloader mode by holding Volume Down + Power
2. Connect your phone to your PC and then open the adb terminal wherever adb is located open command prompt at that folder
3. Place the recovery image and boot image where the adb terminal folder is located
4. Fastboot flash recovery first and then boot into recovery at least once then reboot into bootloader fastboot flash boot the modified boot image.
5. Boot into the system (May take a while for the first time after flashing the boot image).
6. Place the wlan_custom.zip into your phones internal storage
7. Boot back into recovery and then flash the zip this time
8. Then download and flash the SR3 Super Su from above using recovery and you should have root!!
Safety net may break so if you wanna use Snapchat or any other apps that use safety net make sure you login first then root. You can't logout or else you'll have to unroot and log back in.

Did you correctly flash vanche TWRP and boot image? Because you're supposed to do that first and then flash the wifi zip..

The phone will wipe as soon as you unlock the bootloader so best to back up first.

Sorry but what's the differences beetwen this method and magisk?

Only the 'Prime Exclusive - With Offers and Ads' Amazon models don't have an unlockable bootloader, while the 'Standard Version' models can definitely be unlocked. You probably should clarify that or some will think that they can't buy from Amazon and unlock/root the phone.

Will do thanks

The "Magisk method" didn't give me privileges on /system, there are some things I can do and others do not, this method gave me full root access like in the other MotoG devices? And the safetynet check fails too?
Anyway thank you very much!!

What's going to be different than magisk root?

Do you think that will be fixed soon with a newer version of SuperSU, or some "root hider" apps? The idea of running a phone without root is absurd/offensive/rediculous IMO, but I don't want to be denied the ability to run certain apps because the developers have the rediculous idea that running without root should be "OK" to ordinary users? This idea is extremely offensive to me!!!

Guys, I wonder why the OP is "Account currently disabled"? I hate running without root, but, it seems a bit early and not all the problems have been worked out yet, such as TWRP not accessing SDCARD yet - I think I was a little premature buying my Moto G5 Plus as we don't really have "stable" release custom ROMs or fully functioniong TWRP and to even root we have to rely on some not well known sources for kluged files to make SU work?

It is possible to Relock bootloader with this modification?

Hi, i have a xiaomi mi 6. The bootloader is unlocked, officially.
My question is: can i relock the bootloader after i moved two apps as a system apps? The applications only work that way, or with root privileges. Those two app is needed to enable or disable android services.
I use banking apps, which detect rooted or unlocked phones. Safetynet need to
pass. Keeping root or magisk is not an option for me. Beside safetynet, those banking apps have their own custom detecting sistem, which magisk can't hide.
I have stock recovery now , root is removed (unrooted).
On my old sony z3 that procedures worked, dose is work on mi 6 too? Or it will brick the device.? A bricked device with locked bootloader is a nightmare...
I want a locked bootloader to be able to use fingerprint and use all of my banking apps. But i need to enable/disable services at any time.

Hi,
From what I heard, if you relock the bootloader, you won't be able to unlock it again as xiaomi won't give you the right to unlock phone twice. So it's a bad idea.

Thanks for replying.
If you get permission to unlock officially, you cand unlock and relock as many times as you want.

Absolutely not. If you made a modification of the system, dm-verity will notice it, and the phone will be stuck in a bootloop.

Boot in custom recovery and move the app in system.. You dont need root for that. Just un-encrypted phone and TWRP.
Main problem will be, how you get the files from the apk. You could install it on another phone (which is rooted), make the app a system app and then get the folders of said app, which you can copy via adb to your Mi6. And in recovery mode you can mount system as rw.
OR
TWRP has a feature to make any app a system app (dunno)
OR
someone can make you flashable zip file for TWRP.

Thanks man, but converting app to system app is not a problem. I can do that with root or with twrp, as you mentioned.
The problem is relocking the bootloader after i moved app as a system app and disabled some services.

Will dm-verity prevent my phone from booting if i flash no-dm-verity patch or disable dm-verity from twrp?
After i disabled it, flash stock recovery and relock?

The only problem for which i am concerned is the bootloop as i have watched many you tube videos but when i go in comment section there are lot of problems faced by people. Please give link to the tutorial you used to flash TWRP and rooted phone without problem.
Please

you can install "lazyflasher" after doing the root to start normally. I had the same problem and with this it was solved. I installed everything from the SD and my device is a Redmi 5 plus.

How is "lazyflasher", you can explain

the only solution is install another recovery such as redwolf for sure

Use red wolf recovery, it also supports incremental OTA update. Also built in magisk or supersu root. No need of lazy flasher.

Hi! Wiping the data will make me lose everything? Like apps, photos, music, etc?
There any way to install the twrp without losing everything?

Don´t confuse Wipe data with Format data.
Wiping data you will delete all the data from the apps. all the settings such as wifi, hotspot, brightness, location, language, keyboard preferences, etc and all the apps that you (the user) installed after to reboot to system.
Formatting data you will lost also all the folders and all the files in your internal memory such as music, pictures, etc., some of those folder needed for android to work will be created again while device is rebooting but your personal files will gone
You don´t need to lost everything just to install TWRP. Are you going to unlock bootloader or already did it?

U can but have to unlock bootloader

up

Before using this RN5P I was an user of Mi A1 which was under android one, there I was using GCAM but without having phone been rooted. What the scripts behind that GCAM tool was, firstly it unlocks the bootloader then it temporarily ran TWRP recovery only for flashing the GCAM zip file then the script ended with exit from TWRP and lock back the bootloader. I am wondering if the same thing can be apply here in RN5P. But here in MIUI we need to wipe the storage whilst unlocking, that's the catch. But who cares if I keep the backup manually and restore back.

You can lock and unlock bootloader in mia1 with ADB commands.But here you have to unlock with mi unlock tools.

u can enable camera2api without root. but u have to have unlocked bootloader.
steps:
unlock bootloader.
reboot into fastboot mode
download multirom_twrp-whyred-07042018.img
place it in to your adb folder
connect phone with pc using a usb cable (while in fastboot mode)
now run this command in adb "fastboot boot multirom_twrp-whyred-07042018.img"
this will boot your phone into twrp.
now download this file "Camera_2API.zip"
copy it into your phones internal storage
go to twrp and flash this zip.
from twrp select "reboot to system" and select "do not install" in next screen.
this will reboot ur phone to miui and u have camera2api enabled without root.
after that u can install gcam mod and it will work. i m using gcam mod this way.
all those files i have mentioned are available on respective threads on this forum.
