hey bro
I was thinking of purchasing this device...I will be shifting from Asus Zenfone 2 but before buying this device i was researching a bit... I am actually new to Moto family...so can you clear some of my queries?
1) If we root our device by latest current method is it possible to receive OTA.. In Asus zenfone 2,we had 2 root methods...If we rooted by 1 method we could update via OTA and if rooted by the 2nd method we couldnt update our device via OTA.... Can we apply the OTA if we root our device or we have to un-root and undo all the modifications & stuff done after rooting?
2) And if by any chance i end up bricking my new Moto Z Play after trying to root it...How will be able to un-brick my device and revert it to stock.... I am also indian & will be buying the indian version so...I will need these 2 files but which one is the latest stock rom & how will i flash these roms in case i mess up? Can u tell me the command for flashing the rom via adb...
Thanks

Hello, I still haven't seen a method to root the phone and still receive OTAs.
About bricking your phone and revert it to stock, if you don't mess up too much and keep you bootloader you can revert it. I reverted my Brazilian phone to stock after being stuck on the bootloader screen with no issues but I've seen people here that lost their IMEIs after flashing the stock firmware. Be sure to flash the right firmware for your region.

Still no mathod for rooting & still get ota.
I need update my phone for pie (9.0) but the OTA updates doesn't work after me unlock the bootloader of my Moto G6 Play Brazilian Version.
I already installed a factory version, but when the phone is turned on, the bad key still appears.
I just had the same thing happen this weekend. You need to try different TWRP images. I tried like 4 or 5 before finding one that worked. So just download a bunch of them and spend an hour or so trying all of them.
It have tried endless times trying to get root access via magisk by patching my retail Canada boot.img file. My phone has an unlocked bootloader and I definitely have the right boot image as I tried another boot image from another firmware and got a startup failure which I fixed by flashing the retail Canada boot.img. It patches okay and flashes okay (except for message "image signed with key bad key") but no root access and no installed Magisk. If anyone has a solution, has gained root access some other way or knows for a fact that magisk does not work with this model phone I would be very interested to know. This is the firmware I used the boot file from : XT1952-4_CHANNEL_RETCA_9.0_PPY29.105-57
Thanks
Bad Key is normal after you unlock the boot loader. Have you tried side loading the Magisk apk along with a copy of the boot.img and have the app mod the boot.img? Then move the modded boot image back to your pc and fastboot it on to the phone. That's what I did with my G7Power.
Side loading
Not sure what side loading is but I did patch the boot file with Magisk manager, put it on my PC and fastbooted it to my phone with no results. The ROM for the G7 Play is different than older androids. I tried to create a makeshift recovery for it but my ROM does not have a recovery.img or other older android ROM files for that matter. I will have to wait for some kind of workaround for magisk or someone takes on the challenge to create a recovery for the different file system. I installed a recovery for my Moto G4 plus and rooted no problem. I should have researched more before I purchased the G7 Play and unlocked the bootloader so now I am at the mercy of development.
Thanks for your reply.
Nothing
I tried rooting the phone with the Magisk... Nothing.
I tried to relock the bootloader... Nothing.
What works on the other Moto G7s does not work on our G7 Play.
Hello,
relocking Moto G7 play:
* first reflash the 'boot.img' from the correct firmware file - 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' (in the Internet there are official images to the smartphone)
* then you can lock the bootloader again with 'fastboot oem lock'.
"bad key" is gone, SafetyNet test passed and OTA is working again.
Best regards

Do you have a g7 play and did that? So show us because I could not.
When you use this command an error occurs because the "oem unlocking" option is not checked. And it is not checked because the system disables this option after we unlock the bootloader.
So, unless there is another way to check this option, it's not possible to relock the bootloader. That's what I think.

Yes, I have a Motorola Moto g7 play.
When I open the bootloader, I can't close it immediately. I get a "bad key" (or something like that). I have to flash the matching original boot.img first.
So in the bootloader:
* fastboot flash boot boot.img
And if that was successful, then afterwards (without restart)
* fastboot oem lock
Possibly the last command must be entered a second time, but this will be output when
If the command works, then the smartphone boots automatically at this point and the bootloader is closed again.
I assume that you have the correct boot.img and must flash.
I have performed this procedure several times successfully.
Information: at every LOCK and at every UNLOCK the data is reset (Factory reset?).
relock bootloader confirm
I can confirm this does work. I just relocked and unlocked my bootloader with those instructions. Again if anybody has successfully rooted this phone I would love to know.
Any update on this ? I would love to buy this phone but not till I know for sure that it can be rooted.. Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated !!

This device is definitely rootable -- there is no doubt as to proof of concept. It's just a matter of a viable root method being ironed out. The developer of Magisk (topjohnwu) has stated that the current difficulty with installing systemless root on the Moto G7 Play (via patched boot image) is due to the particular A/B partition index of the device. He is actually working on a universal resolution now. It also appears that TWRP custom recovery is being compiled by the guys over at TeamWin, not to mention unofficial builds being compiled by other dedicated devs (which will likely come first). I went ahead and bought a G7 Play and am just patiently waiting for the imminent resolution for root, TWRP, and hopefully, full-on ROM development. In other words, it's not a matter of if; it's just a matter of when.
I expect the devs to release an unofficial version of twrp soon for g7 play. I already tried the same thing with patching my boot img and flashing in fastboot but still no dice. Just bought the the phone so I hope it gets released soon so we can finally root!

Amen to that.
Root is all that this phone needs. It's amazing. I'm so happy with it. I can't believe what you get for the price. Why would you buy anything else?
If someone can confirm the current root method for the g6 play could work with the g7 play id happily make a guide for y'all at least. If assuming this device also auto encrypts. Try just booting twrp first, press cancel, swipe right to allow system modifications, go to wipe, push the format button next to the advanced wipe button, type yes, go back into bootloader and flash twrp and internal storage should be readable from there adb push the encryption disabler then magisk. And just in case someone here trys to use the twrp for the g6 play I'm feeling you now it won't work in case that needs to be said. Try using magisk beta also if stable doesn't work I noticed we had to use beta for a little bit before we could use stable

Couldn't agree more, fantastic phone ( wish it had wireless charging though ) and all I need is root.

The G6 Play root method will not work on the G7 Play. The G7 Play uses the A/B partition index. There are currently a few developers ironing out a viable root method and also working on a stable TWRP build. Many Moto G7 Play owners have hard bricked their devices by trying root strategies intended for devices with standard GPT partition tables.
I only recently bought my G7 Play and I am curious as to whether my firmware version is all the way up to date. I have the Boost Mobile variant (xt1952-4) and I'm on the PCY29.105-59 firmware build with a March 1, 2019 security patch level. According to my System Update check in Settings, this is the current build. However, it would seem that with a device so recently manufactured, there would be a more current firmware version available. Are there any Sprint, Virgin, or Boost variant owners who can clarify this? And I apologize if this is off topic.

I'm on OPENMX channel and there is currently a June 1st update waiting to be installed. I'm reluctant to install it because I don't know if it will interfere with the root process down the line.

Ok thanks for the info. I would guess an OTA update for my variant is imminent within the next couple of weeks at least.
Motorola is not in the practice of patching root exploits via OTA updates. The company actually supports both OEM Unlocking and Android development. I don't think you would have any future issues with root by installing your pending OTA. But at the same time I don't blame you for holding off. When in doubt, don't update. Again, I do thank you for the info.
The xt1952-4 (Sprint, Boost, Virgin) variant is rolling out with PCY29.105-134 with June 1 security patches. I just got notification about ten minutes ago.
I just bought a Moto e (2020) and it comes with android 10 and only android 10 but i wanted to use the new privacy and ease of use things in android 11, while keeping the security of a locked boot loader.
I also would like to keep the moto actions but i think i can just extract the apk using adb and i would like to still have the G apps. So, basically like the phone is from the factory with android 11 instead of 10.
Is this possible thanks!

You cannot, at least safely.
There is no Android 11 for ginna yet.
You could unlock the bootloader, install a GSI 11, or a custom rom, and try relocking.
That might work, or brick the device.
Here are 3 different options to check if Android 11 has started rolling out for your device.

Hi All, I have spent a long time sifting through the threads here which I can't really make head nor tails about. I have experience in reflashing old Nokia symbian devices back in the day so i'm not completely useless when it comes to these things but I just cant figure it out on Android. I have tried to download a A11 firmware file for the Moto razr 5g and replaced the existing "latest firmware" on the rescue tool with it, but when it i try to hit rescue it just says failed at 68%. I have bootloader unlocked.
Can anyone explain to me the most basic way to get my device back to android 11. The only reason i want to go back is I find my phone crashes and is buggy with A12.
Device: Motorola Razr 5g
Software channel: North American retail
SKU: XT2071-3
Many Thanks
