I thought the TWRP version you linked is not working properly. Are you saying that it works, now?

That TWRP won't work on some models, I have flashed it on my xt1710-09 and it got stuck on the initial TWRP boot logo.

Good evening. What is the root and hotspot status if you don't mind me asking? I'm thinking of picking up this phone tomorrow

afaik, they're all rootable except the verizon variant...
hotspot...? if you mean, using your data network as a wifi hotspot - unless there's some kind of issue hosting a wifi network while rooted, this device does let you host.

If you buy the phone directly from Motorola/Lenovo, you can put a Verison SIM in and then you can also unlock the bootloader. Takes longer but if you really want to unlock it, this would be the only way I know.

Hello, I have unlock my Moto Z2 play successfully.
I installed TWRP 3.1.1.0 as specified. However, it gets stocked on the Teamwin blue screen and can't do anything from there than reboot.
Any idea how to solve this problem. Thanks a lot

Sorry guys, I'm thinking about buying this phone with a carrier, so I will have 30 months of warranty covering everything. If I unlock the bootloader and flash the recovery I will lose it. Does anyone know how to find the factory image or backup the stock system (recovery and everything) to restore it to stock in case of problems? Thanks in advance

I have the XT1710-10 Dual SIM variant of the Moto Z2 Play, what should i do to succesfully root the phone. Can somebody guide me in detail ?
and i am not clear about this 32 bit and 64 bit twrp

Which way? What error?... You must go to Motorola's unlock bootloader page (@pizza_pablo kindly shared the link for you already) and >precisely< follow instructions. You can also search for "unlock bootloader Motorola" here or in YouTube. There's aplenty of video tutorials, plus every single Moto device since Moto G requires the very same procedure, so you can follow any. Good luck and don't cry; you'll notice that unlocking is the easiest part.
One more thing: I strongly suggest you to research as much as you can about the subject >first< (it clearly looks like the first time for you) especially on Moto Z2 Play rooting and very especially on Oreo rooting. There's a bit of confusion there.

Yerah...Verizon phones are always locked down, unless you have a Pixel. That's precisely why I dropped them like a bad habit. Well, that AND the fact that they are the most expensive cell provider out there.

[Q] Verzion Z2 Tablet LTE USA

I have the international SGP521 LTE (castor) running smooth on
CM11 nighlies on T-Mobile and ATT.
I have been looking at the official US version of the Z2 LTE- exclusive
to Verizon. In the past - Verizon has locked the bootloader - and made
it difficult to run CM11 on their branded devices.
Has anyone worked on the brand new Verizon branded Sony Z2 LTE tablet?
Can the bootloader be unlocked directly from Sony?
Will the CM11 castor nightly load on this version?

Code:
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.004s
This is what I'm getting. This is my first Sony device, so I'll wait for the experts to chime in before I go any further.
Did Sony issue you a bootloader unlock code?
Was this the message from the fastboot oem unlock 0xNNNNNNN?
The normal sony device flow is consistent across their devices:
get device drivers working from sony or flashtool (fastboot and ADB)
get the bootloader unlocked from sony
download PA Gapps,CM11 zip, and SuperSU to the SD card
extract the boot.img from the CM11 zip
flash the boot.img to the boot partition
reboot recovery
full wipe from the recovery
reboot to recovery and flash the zips from the SD card
reboot into system
If the bootloader won't unlock then everything else goes out the window.

Just picked up the US Sony Verizon Z2 tablet.
The model number is SGP561.
First impressions are great hardware.
SGP521 plus extra bands and CDMA.
Insane amount of bloatware.
Sony bloatware. Verizon bloatware. Bloatware on Bloatware.
I am not holding my breath for a Google Play version either.
I will try the Sony bootloader unlock - but I don't have high expectations.
Sony will issue a bootloader unlock.
But the device will not unlock with the issued code.
When you check the service menu settings- the device is unlockable.
No bootloader unlock means a difficult path for custom recovery.
Too bad this is the exclusive z2 tablet version release for the states.
If you have a GSM carrier (T-Mobile or ATT) buy the international SGP521 (castor)
from somewhere else like Amazon and roll the dice on warranty service.
Sony has been great with releasing Z2 tablet kernel sources but I guess
they don't really care about restricting customers in the US.

I just got one too and expected this outcome because it's Verizon
How do you get to the service menu with no dialer?
-Collin-
The directions are on the sony developer site
under the bootloader unlock pages.
Select the Z2 tablet non-wifi.
Its unusual- you have to go to the contacts app and then
click on white space on a specific page to bring up a hidden service app.
Thanks for that...definitely a bit strange. Would have taken me about 10 years to figure that out
Bad news on both fronts. Bootloader unlock allowed: no. LTE bands 4 and 13 (Verizon's two bands), meaning they disabled all the others. I had hopes of using this on T-Mobile at some point, but alas I should have known better.
Thanks, as always, Verizon My service provider is starting to feel like the Seinfeld skit where they try to quit the gym.

I was contemplating buying the Z2 on verizon. So I get it seems like you cant unlock the bootloader but is it difficult to achieve root? I just want to be able to remove the Verizon apps. Also any feedback on this tablet would be appreciated

Root is not an issue. I've successfully rooted both firmwares.
Has anyone successfully converted their SGP521 Verizon Xperia Z2 Tablet to using stock Sony firmware & retained Bravia Engine & Camera quality? I'd love to stop having to wait on Verizon for firmware & remove their apps.

Sure thing,
The easiest way I've found was to use Kingroot to root your Z2 Tablet. (open and run kingroot to actually achieve root) afterwards if you prefer Supersu you will need to flash a custom recovery. To do so, activate USB debugging and connect your tablet to your PC via USB. Download xdualrecovery 2.8.26 for Tablet (should be the second one from top if downloading from http://nut.xperia-files.com/path/XZDualRecovery/XZDualRecovery_2.8.26). Extract the contents to your desktop and click the install.bat. When given options as to which method you wish to install custom recovery with choose method 2 (Install with superuser) and follow the on screen prompts and grant permission on your tablet (when selecting option 2 a script will initiate on your PC and advise you to grant root on your device. Simply unlock the device and grant permissions to continue). Once done your tablet will reboot to custom recovery. Reboot the system and install supersume and run the application. It will remove kingroot and install Supersu. When completed it will automatically open Supersu (it may prompt you to update the binaries... If this does happen DO NOT click TWRP as it will reboot to recovery and do nothing for you! Simply click Normal and let it do its thing and you should be done!!! :victory: all that's left to do is reboot your tablet to remove kingroot from the appdrawer if it's not already removed. If for some reason Supersume is not working properly then reinstall kingroot and retry Supersume again.
I forgot to include the link, for some odd reason I can't upload files. anyways I've also included the files for xposed installer just in case you want xposed on lollipop. Just be sure to make a backup after installing the framework through recovery as some modules are incompatible and cause the tablet to be stuck in a bootloop. That way you can restore if you have any questions ask and I'll help out as much as I can

Huv u try out this fix? Does it solve ur problem? I'm not a dev or a modder but i suggest u to reset ur phone (from TWRP, tick all boxes in wipe section EXCEPT for internal storage and sd card as it will DELETE ALL UR PHONE DATA unless u know what u r doing ) and reroot your device if needed (ensure tht bootloader and twrp is working fine). Flash ur ROM n after tht, install SuperSu by downloading it from Google Play. It's easier btw (ensure ur ROM huv Gapps install or juz download from http://opengapps.org/)
For ur sim and sd card problem, try to scan and fix it using apps from Google Play like Phone Doctor Plus or etc. Consider also to ask the developer of ur ROM tht whether there are such issues(if it's a stock rom, make sure u download is the full update not OTA). If the problem persist, u maybe huv to spend a few bucks (if not under warranty) on ur hardware problem It may due to hardware issues.
I would like to warn u tht I ll not be responsible for any problems tht happen. So, u huv to take the risk of bricking ur phone by urself (hopefully no). If the methods above failed, try to post this matter into other threads, maybe a dev can solve this matter better 4 u Report here back to tell about the fix.
ps: anyone knows how to attach a pic without the website link? newbie here xox

Oppo A57 custom rom needed

OH developers please port a rom to oppo a57
its an awsome device its got 3gb ram snapdragon 435 and 720 p display please guys port it colour os sucks help needed
OP, I know you posted this in the find5 thread as you wanted them to port the rom from this phone but since it's for the a57 I assume this technically isn't the right place to do it, anyhow:
From what I can tell Oppo has restricted access to the bootloader on these phones and we still don't have a working root method. Until either one of these circumstances changes it is unlikely that any development can begin for these phones.
If any senior devs out there have skills in reverse engineering, I would be more than happy to donate to the cause or maybe even flash your betas because at this stage what I have is a well spec'd phone that's as useful as a brick thanks to Oppo's abhorrent ColorOS. I just want root or an unlocked bootloader.
I'm offering $25aus as a starting point and I'm sure others would get on board with me since we all spent the equivalent of $300aus for a P.O.S phone.

Can confirm rooting method works but it seems like it corrupts your NV partition. Make sure you've taken a backup of yours before proceeding. Check back as we nut out a solution.
I currently have my phone rooted and TWRP installed but the bootloader still needs to be unlocked or a tool similar to magictricks.zip needs to be made to enable/install fastboot binaries on this device.
Anyone here familiar with doing this?
I can provide you with backups of the file system.

Whats the use in unlocking if you cant go to fastboot mode

From what I've read, there isn't a high likelihood of us getting fastboot. The main reason bootloader unlocking was possible with previous models was due to Oppo's release of 'project spectrum' firmware.
Our best approach is to make our voices heard on the Oppo forums and/or learn about reverse engineering bootloaders to create a solution.
I'm grateful that we have root (at a cost of signal), it's an excellent starting point at least. Have patience.

Asus ROG Phone | Bootloader unlocked? Rootable? Dev forecast?

Hey all,
Like many of you in the enthusiast category with phones, with all the detrimental lock downs from varies companies, we've been eager to and most likely willing to jump onto that next device that will offer us an unlocked bootloader (US market/variant.)
The big question is if this phone will be bootloader unlocked? It's too early to tell I know, but it'd be good to keep tabs on this. Asus really has a good chance to separate themselves from the rest with this promising device.
If anyone has any info on the forecast of this phones future for customization, please share it here when it becomes available.. I'm sure many would love to hear all about it. We can compile it all here in a dedicated thread
Thanks and keep your fingers crossed!

Would you be able to flash the WW rom on a CN version device?
Or would you need something additional to be able to do so?

You can't flash TWRP without unlocking the bootloader first. Since Asus hasn't released the official unlocking tool yet for our device you would have to unlock it using other methods which isn't advisable to do that is if you are able to find an alternative method at the first place.
Chinese forum regarding Root
in the ROG phone download section there is:
Unlock Device App: Unlock boot loader
I think that's it, what we want
https://www.asus.com/tw/Phone/ROG-Phone/HelpDesk_Download/
Looks like the TW Asus site has an official 'unlock' executable, but whether it works on other regional versions is unknown.

Yes it's already available on the Chinese download section. Personally i will not attempt to unlock yet because i need the warranty service. If you unlock you lose warranty and system update as stated by them. Anyway if any of you want to unlock and flash TWRP here is the link to download the TWRP for each system update make sure to choose your current system version. By the way i bare no responsibility for the TWRP files i simply found the link for the files and i don't know who compiled them.

I would do it as soon as I received the phone because unlocking the bootloader it means wiping the data and I wouldn't lose everything later on...
The Unlock Device App is also on the US website

I don't have the phone yet.
I imported from Taiwan which was the WW version, so i suppose will be unlockable in most countries.
As for root, shakalaca has uploaded TWRP to Mega(the link above) and has a modified version of Magisk which u can download from his custom channel posted in the Asus forum, using Magisk manager.
HTTPS://bit.ly/2NGVKqS
(sorry im a newbie so can't post full link so used JP 2byte fonts)
The regular Magisk will result in bootloop.
Also unlocking the phone seems to disable the OTA as usual, but also manual update(unless its done differently from the Zenfone 3, where u just place the ZIP in root directory).
Sideload works, and once u have TWRP, it shouldn't be a problem though.

What steps did you take to make the change, what are the differences?. Are there any disadvantages to the conversion?
One more thing where do you find the stock recovery?. I haven't found it in the stock rom zip file.

I haven't confirmed flashing from install on the ROG phone, since I updated using adb sideload before flashing TWRP.
But there is an option for sideload in TWRP so I assume its possible.

Getting decryption working in custom recovery is giving me a headache. But I did not give up yet.
And root? No problem with that, I'm having magisk since long time...

Wow.. nice
It seems like there's a variant of the V60 that can be bootloader unlocked (the Euro ver.) and back when I had the V30 we did something similar where you would have to convert your NA variant (Or any variant that was not listed in LG's official bootloader unlocking site [EXCEPT T-MOBILE]) to the supported variant's firmware then flash the unlock.bin file.
I dont know how useful this will be for the V60 though, just sharing my previous experience just too scared to test this method on my daily driver.

Yes, european versions(mine) always get bootloader unlock. But from what I know it's impossible to unlock any other versions untill someone find an exploit. And since v60 isn't very popular I doubt there will be unlock for any other version of it(about european).

Only European version of v60 supports bootloader unlocking. So you can't get root.
That's why I'll never buy this. Will stick with my old LG which is good enough.
damn what a shame, such a great phone and yet not much interest in general.
According to Unlock Bootloader Support list from LG, LMV600EA is the only device ca n be root
with the long battery life and extra screen and stylus , the v60 might be my first daily driver thats not got root.
I used to use lots of apps for root, mainly firewall to block apps from internet use and UI apps for fast system navigation and non standard features, but most of these can now be done with non root apps and cloning apps with networking disabled now, so im feeling i might just survive without the few apps that do need root.

Hi, can you give me the hint how you catched the boot.img to patch magisk? I'm not able to dump it from the phone or extract from the original kdz-archive.
(bootloader is open, just missing the right stuff to flash)
Thanks
