First, I assume you know what root, fastboot, SafetyNet, bootloader, adb is ( SEARCH FIRST BEFORE DOING THESE STEPS! ) and you know the risks of rooting a device!
Me nor the XDA guys are responsible for bricked devices, nor any damage to you and/or your device.
So, after that, let's dive into the steps of rooting it
First of all is to download your stock android image ( in case something goes wrong plus the boot.img needed for this process )
You can download your stock image the way you want, you can use lolinet etc, just make sure it matches your device!
So, open the image you downloaded, extract the boot.img file and put it on the phone's internal memory, then download Magisk Manager ( I personally used GitHub to download.... ) and open it.
Now, select 'Install' ( the one that says Magisk, not the manager ), go to 'Select and Patch a file'
Navigate and select your boot.img, then wait for it to complete, after that, you'll see a file in the Download folder on the phone called 'magisk_patched.img' grab this file and put it on the computer.
The next step is that you'll need to unlock your bootloader ( I'll not cover how to do that here, but a quick search on ' how to unlock Motorola bootloader' should help ), but be aware that it will format your phone ( you'll lose any saved data, so pay attention! )
After, put the phone in fastboot mode again ( vol minus + power button ), then on the terminal window you're using fastboot, run this command:
fastboot boot magisk_patched.img
( I assume you put the magisk_patched in the same folder you're running fastboot ( Windows case ) )
REMEMBER TO TEST EVERYTHING ON YOUR DEVICE IN THIS PART BEFORE CONTINUING!!!!!
IF YOUR PHONE DIDN'T BOOT OR BOOTED BUT WITH MALFUNCTION STOP NOW AND REBOOT IT, MAYBE YOUR STOCKROM WASN'T CORRECT OR SOMETHING ELSE...
After that your device will normally boot, install Magisk Manager and check if it "says" installed and displays the version.
If so and your device runs fine, reboot again to fastboot then run on the terminal window:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
This will make the root persistent after reboots
Now as you expected, you're rooted
A bonus tip:
Safetynet will fail! To fix that, open Magisk Manager, then go to it's settings, then tap to enable "MagiskHide" and then tap "Hide Magisk Manager" type a new name for the Manager and boom, that's it, now SafetyNet will work ( In my case it did hehe )
I'm new to English, learning alone, so any mistyping etc tell me and I'll fix it
Also I'm new to XDA too hihi
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience!
Has there been anyone else who managed to root this device?
I really want to buy one but first I want to make sure I will be able to root it from day 1. I don't like to use an unrooted phone
I bought my device last Black Friday and rooted it this week with this guide.
I’ve downloaded my boot.img from Lolinet and googled how to unlock a bootloader of a Moto phone.
I’ve also enabled oem unlock in developer settings.
It’s not so difficult.
The bonus tip from the OP is very helpful. Only rename Magisk is not enough. Also hide the manager to pass the safetynet test.

Hi, I root the G9+ with your guide and now it's rooted, thank you for post it. I want to change te system fonts, I have some visual impediments and I need a fonts with more contrast and bold. I try with Fontster, HiFonts, Zfonts, and many more. I grant root privileges to these via MagiskManager, but without any success. It's normal that? any idea why? The rootchecher confirm that the phone it's rooted. Please can help me? Thank you and please excuse my poor english

I think u'll need to port your custom fonts as Magisk Modules, since you can't change system files directly ( even with root ).
Hi, I'm new to rooting the phone, I managed to unlock the bootloader, I did everything as in the description except the last step because the fastboot boot magisk_patched.img command did not work. So I copied the magisk file to the adb folder and typed: fastboot flash boot C: \ adb \ magisk_patched_INTjS.img. My phone touchscreen has stopped working. I'm very worried. Is it possible that I used the wrong stock image version or did I do it wrong? Now I wish the phone would just work

So maybe your stock was wrong, if ' fastboot boot magisk_patched.img ' failed then u can't force ( fastboot flash ) the installation since it'll probably cause problems...
I suggest you try to download your stock rom and re-flash the boot partition, if no lucky, try using ' Lenovo rescue and smart assistant ' and hope it works again...

Yes, I tried to enter this command but it said that it cannot find the file magisk. Tomorrow I will try to install the stock rom with RSD Lite if that's the right decision, with the help of this website: https://www.androidinfotech.com/moto-g9-plus-odessa-android-10/. If that doesn't help, I will have to give it to repaired because I won't be able to handle it myself.

Room that I will download should I unpack to adb folder or where? Is it safe to install it yourself or is it better to go to a local phone repairer? It may be hard to find someone who knows what to do.

Yeah, as I said, u need to unpack it to the folder where you see the ' fastboot.exe ' file, and then copy all the spoiler commands I sent, put the phone in fastboot mode, and open the cmd in the folder where fastboot.exe and your extracted rom is, then paste and run the spoiler commands and you're good to go, remember that it'll take a while since it'll re-flash all your system.

No prob, we're all learning, and all you need to fix a device that doesn't boot, is an unlocked bootloader, since u can re-flash, I did this on a few devices ( moto x4 ; moto G5s ; moto g9+ ) and succeeded on repairing those...

Hi, because you should not flash bootloader.
you can try those 2 solutions:
the fast one, it should work. The flashall command flash every.img files he find in the fastboot directory. So try to remove the bootlader.img and execute the flashall command.
the manual one (longer one):
Put only the recovery.img, boot.img, and the system.img files ( you should have something like 13 , named "systemchunk0/12.img") in your fastboot directory and flash with fastboot ( the command is always the same: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, fastboot flash boot boot.img, and for every single part of system.img you should flash like "fastboot flash systemchunk0(until 12).img " so you flash flash 13 times the system with avery 13 parts .
Sorry for my english i hope you solved that

Ah ok i didnt understand that you have this modem issue. I don't kno how to help you...you phone is bricked so you can test few solutions without more risks .
before flash the original recovery , boot and system by fastboot, you can try to install TWRP again and flash only the bootloader from TWRP (should support .zip and .img files). Then you turn the phone in fastboot mode and flash other stuff .

So you screwed up and didn't follow Rule Number One in the IT-Handbook?
Which is: Always create a backup before working on a system?
Download the Factory State Images. Which are all flashable with fastboot: https://goo.gl/JTCwKj

It's slow unless lots of people help to seed it.
Is it possible to flash this firmware 2a42_S048_161111_ROW_fastboot.7z on the P2c72 with firmware build number: V3.5_1652_5.1342.1_ST_p2c72 ???

I've flashed 'ROW' variant of stock ROM. Is there a different version for Indian variant?
Hello all,
I'm a bit confused about the process of taking my current '3' ROM and changing it to the official Lenovo Rom.
I have downloaded the lenovo drivers (installed and ok) phone is in debug mode.
I have downloaded the stock rom from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/development/7-0-lenovo-p2a42-stock-nougat-update-t3581517 and have adb / fastboot.
I know I have to use the volume rocker and powerbutton to get into the boot mode but I don't know the commands for adb or fastboot. I have changed the name of the rom to 'update'
Can someone please advise me on the commands I am meant to enter to get this onto my phone please?
Thanks in advance,
Cue
Copy all the code below, paste it to a new text file on your PC and save it as All Files instead of .txt and name it a fastboot.bat. Place the fastboot.bat in the adb/fastboot directory, also place the unpacked rom in the same path. Run it as admin. Profit.

fastboot flash partition gpt_both0.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

Hi, op here.
Firstly, thank you for responding! Your instructions seem very clear. When i had a look at the contents of the ROM (in zip) i couldn't see any of the systemchunk files you mention, are they hidden deep somewhere?
Regards,
Cue.
If your phone is stock the Rom can be updated without fastboot or a PC.
All the instructions are in that thread.
Huh. Surely just boot into recovery and install the update.zip? No need to have it connected to pc.
Hello all,
Yep. I un-encrypted the sd card copied the zip onto it and booted up that way. Very easy. Now running stock directly from Lenovo which I am very happy about! It also pushed the new 78mb update as well.
Thank you for all your input.
same way i did it too theirs no need to do it through fastboot method just like the other people i did it through the built in recovery by renaming the Nougat rom to update.zip works fine and you will get another update ota straight after t obring it right up to date.
Sounds like you guys have this sorted :highfive:
Just for completeness, can somebody upload the original 3 rom? It just helps out the person who thinks they have a hardware issue and may need to return the phone to 3.
If you try and return your phone and it doesn't have the original 3 rom, your chances of a good outcome are obviously less as you have tampered with the phone etc.
The warranty is with Lenovo Not three.
Doubt there'd be an issue as the bootloader will still be locked and it's an official Lenovo Firmware.
Since flashing nougat and a factory wipe my VOLTE is now working.
I did the same flashed nougat and volte is working but only shows up some times not as much as I'd like is their any way to get volte to work more often. In my bedroom where the signal is weak I don't get the volte symbol at all.

The warranty is with Lenovo Not three.
Doubt there'd be an issue as the bootloader will still be locked and it's an official Lenovo Firmware.

How you enabled VoLte on nougat? You are on stock rom or branded?
I'm on stock unbranded.
VOLTE settings now show up in phone menu and it just works. I had to factory reset though as initially it didn't work after flashing nougat.
Hi
I was trying to install Lineage OS on my device, but I failed, now the phone does not have TWRP anymore, and when I power up, it goes into fast boot only.
I have done quite a lot of work to save my phone, and the last thing that I did was download the stock fastboot rom and run flash_all.bat from it.
(I can not get the Miflash tool working on my PC because when I startup the program, it asks me to download 5 drivers, but it failed to download and throw me an error)

First of all - if your phone boots to fastboot, there seems to be a problem with your bootloader or kernel.
To fix that, you need to reflash aboot.img and boot.img via fastboot.
Boot.img depends on the version, you want to install. Copy both files into your fastboot folder and
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash aboot_a aboot.img
Code:
fastboot flash aboot_b aboot.img
Now your phone shouldn´t stuck @ fastboot anymore.
Ok, to save your data, you could try to boot twrp:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
If you´re lucky, it can decrypt your data - then you can backup data and internal storage...
If it´s not able to decrypt, you need to install twrp.

I suggest you to install caf-kernel via twrp. Sometimes your phone boots up with it - magic

Thanks, will give it a try.
Just for my knowledge, what are these boot_a and boot_b please? they relate to the two sim slot in this device?

Boot.img from fastboot rom... To be flashed in partition boot_a and boot_b. Our device is a AB-device. That means all partitions are doubled (except of data). If your system breaks, you can switch to the other slot by "fastboot set_active a" or b if you are on a.... Btw perhaps that fixes your phone too! Boot twrp and you can see which slot is active (under reboot)
Hi everyone,
I bought a Motorola G6 play model XT1922-3 type 374B and wanted root acces on this device.
So I started by succesfully unlocking my bootloader using the following tutorial.
After this a started tried to root the device using this tutorial.
This tutorial doesn't link to boot images anymore so I was able to find the moto-g6-play-jeter-patched-twrp.img somewhere else.
I did the following things:
- reboot to bootloader [Succesfull]
- fastboot boot moto-g6-play-jeter-patched-twrp.img [Unsuccesfull]
The device did boot the twrp image but I was unable to interact with it in any way. I couldn't swipe or press buttons.
I made a short video to show this.
I wanted to retry the whole thing so I did reboot to bootloader but then I accidently entered the following command:
fastboot flash boot moto-g6-play-jeter-patched-twrp.img picture of command prompt
After this I wasn't able to normally boot my device. When I try to do so the screen goes black and says n/a in the left corner.
Please does anyone know how I could either be able to boot my normal stock rom again or to have a rooted rom?
Kind regards Sven Onderbeke
Hi Sven,
This isn't going to be the most advanced reply, as I'm not very experienced with this stuff either, but it seems you have accidentally flashed your twrp image to 'boot', wherever that is, which is why the phone isn't able to boot to system.
Can you still boot into bootloader and recovery (twrp)?
If so, then I'd suggest using fastboot to flash a sock or custom ROM. I'm not sure exactly which one though, you have basically the same model as me and that seems to use the JETER ROMS a list of which are over here (can't post links yet, so you will just have to search on mirrors . lolnet . com /firmware/moto/jeter/official/ or remove the spaces
I seem to have somehow lost the partitions on mine, but will start a new thread question about that.

Just flash a stock boot.img to boot. Then just flash TWRP to recovery. In TWRP, format data. Type yes. Then reboot recovery. Then Use TWRP to flash magisk. Done.
Hi again Sven,
I just wanted to let you know that I just downloaded the following RETAIL ROM
ALJETER_RETAIL_9.0_PPPS29.55-35-1_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
and used the following fastboot commands, one at a time.
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot erase carrier
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot reboot
Which rebooted into bootloader so pressed "start" and all booted fine now. It looks like we have the same device, so hopefully that will work for you too.

In other Treble (a/b slots) based phones, the recovery is built into the boot rom. Likely you will need to re-flash the boot.img. That's what I would try first.

You are going to need extract the global rom
Follow these instructions

Learn how to dump and extract Android OTA Payload.bin file to get the boot.img (for rooting with Magisk), vendor.img, and other other partition images.

Once extracted, you should then be able to fastboot flash boot_(a or b) boot.img

I've extracted both versions of the rom. The "output" folder in their respective paths contains all the extracted img files. All files are included for completeness.

What TWRP did you install? Make sure you're downloading a TWRP that's available for this device. So far, to my knowledge, there isn't a TWRP recovery for this device yet.
Hello there, how did u just unlock bootloader by fastboot command? didn't use OEM unlock option on dev setting?
Btw can you share me your twrp that you used?
I need it so badly my rom bugged stuck at google account setup
