[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?

[RECOVERY LOCKED/Nougat/7.0][G955U/W] Safestrap Recovery v4.09 B01 [Apr 19, 2019]

Samsung Galaxy S8+ (Snapdragon)
PLEASE READ READ READENTIRE OP
"ALL MAJOR WORK DONE BY HASHCODE SO GO GIVE HIM SOM THANKS.DO NOT POST ANY BUG OR ISSUE COUSED BY THIS RECOVERY IN ORIGINAL THREAD BY HASHCODE, POST HERE AND I WILL HELP YOU."
CURRENT PROJECT STATUS:
BETA v4.09-B01 [Nougat:7.0]
WHAT IS SAFESTRAP?
Safestrap is a Bootstrap / Recovery for locked bootloader phones. The goal is to avoid touching your primary system (I'll call this "stock" system) and only flash or make large changes to another place on your phone that Safestrap treats as a "2nd system" (in this case, it's a series of virtual ROM slots located on the internal emmc area: "/sdcard"). Once installed, you will see a "Splashscreen" giving you the option to hit "menu" to enter recovery. The recovery portion of Safestrap is now based on TWRP 3.2.1 (a touch based recovery) and you can perform .zip installs, backups and restores here. The additional features I've added to TWRP are mostly located under the "Boot Options" menu:
Here you can create virtual ROM-slots for flashing ROMs. NOTE: The bigger you make the /data partition the less room you will have to make other ROM-slots.
You can activate a new ROM-slot by choosing the slot you wish to make active and then selecting the "Activate" button. Once active, you will see the "rom-slot#" up in the top of the screen shown in green. If you make the "stock" ROM active, then you can see it in the top shown in red.
Once a ROM-slot is active, all actions you would normally perform using TWRP are directed to that ROM-slot. For example, "Install" to flash a .zip, backup and restore.
HOW DO I INSTALL SAFESTRAP?
Requirement: Root
APK install:
Once installed, open up the Safestrap application, Agree to the disclaimer that you won't try to sue me and hunt me down with a rifle if you manage to break your phone..
Then use the "Install Recovery" button. You should see the current version down in the lower left corner of the window. And the "Status:" should say "Installed" when you're done.
From there you can reboot and you *should* see a new splash screen during the boot up. While this is showing you can enter Safestrap Recovery using the [ menu ] button.
Flashable zip:
Flash using Safestrap recovery or FlashFire.
HOW DO I ENTER RECOVERY?
During each reboot a splashscreen will be displayed showing whether the device is running a rom-slot or on the "Stock ROM".
Press the button shown on the screen to either enter "RECOVERY" or "CONTINUE" booting (or the hard button underneath each option).
HOW DO I UPGRADE SAFESTRAP?
APK:
Push the APK up to your sdcard.
Boot back into the "stock" rom-slot.
Open your old Safestrap app and use the "Uninstall Recovery" button
Browse to where you pushed the APK
Click on it and install like normal
Once installed, open the APK, Grant SU access, Use the "Install Recovery" button.
Flashable zip:
Flash using Safestrap recovery or FlashFire.
KNOWN ISSUES:
- Sometimes the installation doesn't work correctly. If you don't see the splashscreen after a rebooting. Install Safestrap again.
DOWNLOADS:

WARNING: Safestrap is heavily modified to be "Safe" for your device. Do not download TWRP from their website and expect it to work the same way. Also TWRP does not support Safestrap, tho some issues that may come up will be TWRP dependant, please try and contact myself or look on the forums for your device for answers before hunting down TWRP people. They won't be able to help w/ Safestrap specific questions.

Just to clarify, when I downgrade from 8.0 to 7.0 to obtain root, boot the rooted ROM then
install busybox and safestrap.apk before reflashing Oreo and that will run alongside Rooted QL1 in a second ROM slot under safestrap?? I apologise if I misread instructions, it's been a while as I haven't used safestrap since my s3 years ago
Edit: just saw the ROM slots not working, and the new Oreo modified thread. Lol

Here its
https://github.com/mohammad92/android_bootable_recovery-safestrap
We have permissive root on S8, S8+ and Note 8 thats why its working on 7.0+

Would this allow us to flash magisk? Or a custom kernel?

Could a Dev make a DT and possibly build a rom with this new freedom to flash things? Cause as far as I know all you need is a DT and a way to compile and you should be fine right? Or will the whole no custom kernel thing prevent that.

Would I be able to install this on Nougat, and then update to Oreo and keep it installed?
Then from there add a Nougat ROM with root so that I could update it and use my root stuff.

This is awesome! Recovery is working great so far! Pls let me know of any roms working with this method I can't wait to try it out!

[REDMI7] [ONCLITE] LR.Team TWRP-3.3.0-REDMI7-CN-wzsx150

I have to tell you :This is the first working TWRP I've found. This os not my work. Just sharing it in Redmi7 Recovery section.
It contains English and Chinese only.
Download link: https://mega.nz/#!TpojlSIA!ymMSB9wBHiza9kSAzqO-8idkuv5mRsvMXQ5rno4Z-so
Redmi 7 special edition TWRP Chinese and English modified optimization version
build date: 2019.4.20
modell: red rice 7, redmi 7
developer: wzsx150
team name: LR.Team
Installation:
Unlocked bootloader required
Working ADB and FASTBOOT connection required
The usually way: with fastboot flash recovery redmi7.img command
after successfully process do not restart the device
type fastboot reboot (do not press enter)
press and hold the volume up button
now press enter
press and hold the volume up button until the fresh TWRP starts
Quote from the Chinese website:
pre-brush into the third-party rec, must unlock the phone! ! Again, the brush machine is risky, please be cautious!
1. This rec supports data partition automatic decryption , encrypted data can be used normally under rec. The official system defaults to encrypting data partitions.
2. This rec supports the official full-page card swipe, but it may cover twrp; when upgrading automatically, you can remove the checkbox of the setting > auto-restart option for easy operation.
3. The bootloader must be unlocked to be able to brush into a third-party rec.
4. Built-in advanced > root system / clear root function.
5. Built-in advanced > remove dm checksum and cancel the forced encryption function, through certain operations, you can remove the official data forced encryption (understand people naturally understand how to operate, because avb2.0 exists, this function may not be normal).
6. Prevent the functions covered by the official rec: root system, signature boot, remove dm check, cancel forced encryption, etc. (some functions may cause the system to fail to enter, carefully operate).
刷入第三方rec前，必须解锁手机！！再次提醒，刷机有风险，操作请谨慎！
1.本rec支持data分区自动解密，加密的data不用格式化也能在rec下正常使用。官方系统默认是加密data分区。
2.本rec支持刷入官方原版全量卡刷包，但可能会覆盖twrp；自动升级时，可以去掉设置>自动重启选项的勾选，方便操作。
3.必须解锁bootloader才能刷入第三方rec。
4.内置高级>root系统/清除root功能。
5.内置高级>去除dm校验和取消强制加密功能，通过一定操作，可以去掉官方的data强制加密（懂的人自然懂怎么操作，因为avb2.0的存在，该功能可能不正常）。
6.防止被官方rec覆盖的功能：root系统、签名boot、去除dm校验、取消强制加密等（部分功能可能导致进不去系统，慎重操作）

Do not forget! And be aware of it! No one has commanded you to change your phone!
No one has forced you to do this. So, you take every step at your own risk! Full responsibility lies with you!

Awesome! Thank you so much! You Rock!

This wasn't needed for me.
I just fastboot flashed the twrp.img file, rebooted into recovery mode (aka TWRP), and then flashed the Magisk v19 zip file.
rebooted and magisk was installed properly, twrp is installed properly

Okay. That is good!
I think zip is needing if you flash stock miui rom, with this twrp...

Stock Magisk Patched Kernel for S20 Ultra 5G G988B Exynos

Like the title says here its a Magisk Patched Kernel for the S20 Ultra 5G G988B exynos Variant.
Since the S20 needs Canary Magisk and latest Canary Magisk Manager have problems with Patch images (Manager Crashes) i patched the boot.img manually
Soon i will make a custom kernel too. so means i will then convert this thread to the one for my Custom Kernel but for the moment it will be used for the Stock Patched Kernel.
Tomorrow i will add S20 5G and S20+ 5G kernels too
How to install:
1. Enable Developer Settings
2. Enter Developer Settings
3. Enable Oem unlock
4. Reboot in download mode and unlock the bootloader (boot with button combo in download mode and not with adb or recovery!)
5. Bootup the phone and setup it without accounts (Make sure the phone is connected to the internet or prenormal will be triggeret)
6. Reboot again in download mode and flash the tar with the kernel with ODIN.
7. Reboot in recovery mode and make a factory reset / wipe
8. Bootup again the phone and setup it again. this time with accounts when you want and make again sure the phone is connected to the internet over the simcard or wifi!
9. Install the latest Magisk Manager Canary done

@geiti94
Thx.
What do you mean with this "boot with button combo in download mode and not with adb or recovery" ?
What firmware version is this kernel from? (just to make sure there wont be any compatibility issue)
Also is there any guide how exactly should I flash the tar and the kernel with ODIN?
Sorry for the noob questions i rooted Samsung phone longtime ago, but I want to root my S20U as soon as possible because in order to root i must wipe so its good to do it when the phone is new.

Thanks Bro.
My just arrived and thanks to you and to the Magisk developer, 30 minutes after the unboxing, i rooted my Galaxy S20 ultra.
I made a small video as proof of root
https://youtu.be/aaNhm-PMt1s
P.S.
I installed the liboemcrypto.so disabler magisk module to see netflix, prime video etc.

Since there is no good backup solution when the phone is not rooted, does the Samsung Cloud Backup work after that? If you have any other backup solution then please, share :angel:
Oh and since OTA are not working when we apply root, can I apply those updates with odin without flashing the kernel again?

What about multidisabler?

Thank you so much!
@dragsterman
key combo for download mode is: Hold Volume up + Volume down and plug in your PC. You need to turn off your phone first.
Flash in odin via "AP".

Ok I am backing up everything to Samsung Cloud & Google, hard copy of internal storage and will test that baby.
Is there any tool that downloads only the OTA or do I have to always download a complete new firmware?
We always had to format data with TWRP in order to get rid of the encryption. Is the stock wipe enough?

encryption stays here since works with magisk only. only after twrp gets an update for logical partition is then again needed to format data etc. but that will take a while

Thank you for the clarification. With this modification I will be able to run TitaniumBackup so it will not be that hard to backup the data. I just hope the google backup does the appdata backup well.

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G (SM-G988B)

Any way to keep esim?

So you just downloaded the firmware, applied the patch locally, and then flashed the new firmware?
Do you have any guide or the cmds used to patch the original bootimg? I'm interested in trying this for my S20 4G

normaly you can patch the boot.img with magisk manager but it crashes since the s20 needs canary one. so i flashed the s20 kernel on my n10 and then patched the image in twrp with magisk zip
