THIS GUIDE IS FOR THE MOTO G6 PLUS ONLY
Hopefully, this guide will accomplish a number of things:
Reduce the same questions being answered over and over.
Reduce the likelihood of errors when modifying the device.
Educate users how to fix a bricked or soft-bricked device.
Educated users on Custom Roms.
Educate users on Project Treble and the Generic System Image format.
READ FIRST
Before we begin, let me inform you that you must unlock your bootloader for any of this guide to actually be of use. There are risks! However, there is about a 99.99% chance that the device can be saved even if it appears it will not power on. However, I do not suggest you deviate from the information in this guide. If you follow this guide step by step there is a 99.99% chance you will not encounter any errors! The best practice is to read any and all sections that apply to what you want to accomplish before you attempt them. Read them two or three times. You don't have to memorize them by heart, but this will hopefully make you feel more confident while reducing the chance of an error.
Index:
1: Preparing to Unlock Bootloader
2: Returning to Stock
3: How to install Root (aka Magisk)
4: How to install Custom Roms
*5. Project Treble and Generic System Images
*One last guide will be posted tomorrow to cover Project Treble/Generic System Images aka GSI.
Thank you @Xplorer4x4 your guide will help many people in our community. Good job.
Hey man, thanks a lot for the guide!
And I dont want to be that guy, but can we have a mega mirror or something for the ROM? Downloading 1.7gb at 25 kb/s is not really fun

This is up to rom maintainers. I did host Los16 mirrors through afh but that was because rahual was only posting builds on the telegram group and it was really the only rom we had at that time.

I was wondering if somebody could point me to the process for installing a GSI. I searched and didn't find anything. Based upon some discussions in Telegram, it seems that some were installing a "base" rom (ie lineage) first.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hey all,
Long time lurker and crack flasher here. I have a proposition for everyone here at our beloved Fascinate forums. I would like to compile a Master Beginners Guide/ Troubleshooting Guide for everyone here on the forums. I am more than willing to take care of this and plan on putting in quite a few walkthroughs/links myself but I would also appreciate it if everyone could help me gather up everything they can find and PM me the details.
On a selfish note, I have a new Fascy arriving tomorrow from Verizon and obviously want to get back modding and romming ASAP. I was wondering if someone could show me the best walk through for flashing current roms, installing kernels, installing tweaks, installing themes, a brief description of all the commands in CWM (i.e. Formatting system. partition, etc) when to do backups, do's and don'ts and any other general tips for working with a clean slate. Thank you all in advance and I look forward to maintaining this thread and cutting peoples search time from hours to minutes. Thanks again.

Hey
Is there any where you can recommend a full explanation of rooting android devices and also installing custom roms to the device?
I do not know anything about this, but have been told that installing custom rom’s is a way to go, when using an android device.
and I have also been recommended the CyanogenMod way of rooting.
I would like a comprehensive explanation and maybe also tutorials for this, for a complete newbie like myself!
Thanks

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, running ICS
The roll-up sticky in the I9100 General section contains links to everything you are looking for.
there are quite a few links in that thread, can you please guide me as to where to start, i am a complete beginner in this field!
In that post, you should be looking for anything to do with rooting. Only 2-3 have rooting in the title, so they would be appropriate places to start.
Here is a thread that you can start from, my advice is just to keep reading as much as possible.
Also most kernels/thread have instructions in the OP.
I only put this as a request since the most common thing is that people are looking for ROMs that haven't been developed. So I want to ask someone if they can provide the necessary steps on building/porting so we can all collaboratively pitch in towards development on the v30. Tons of users(including myself) would like to learn to build and or want some ROMs ported. If anyone can point in certain directions or even post a mini guide for the rest of us to use that would be greatly appreciated ?

+1 haven't built anything since Cyanogenmod, need to dust myself off.
I also want to make an H933 stock flashable zip. (minus recovery)
It sounds good, i would give a try too.
same as any other device. get build environment setup, download source and device trees and start building.

As another kinda nudge for ya; here is a guide I used when building for the Moto G 2015.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/guide-android-rom-development-t2814763
Guys, i followed the tutorial to convert my att V30, and i succeeded but now the phone reboots everytime i try to set it up... i don't want to use lineage, but instead wanted root with pie... i am kinda stuck with a phone that reboots almost all the time even when i factory reset from twrp... what am i doing wrong? the guide i followed is below...
Mod edit:
removed outdated potentially harmful information copied from another site. For current instructions, please refer to this thread.
The guide says to install Lineage, but i don't want that. i wanted stock rooted pie... what can i do?

Please.
That tutorial on REDDIT is taken STRAIGHT from my WTF INSTRUCTIONS. If you look closely, he gives me credit. But most parts are copied word for word. I recognize my own phrasing.
Except NOW the Reddit version is OUTDATED.
You need to read the instructions here on XDA, where it was invented. AND KEPT CURRENT.
If you want Reddit, go back there and ask questions.
Otherwise follow the CORRECT Instructions here on XDA.
And stop posting bad info from other forums. You can say your followed it, but do NOT post bad, outdated information.
This is what you need, and where those Reddit instructions came from:
WTF BOOTLOADER UNLOCK, INSTALL TWRP AND ROOT -- AND UPDATE
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76584629&postcount=193
Mod Edit
You'll figure it out by reading and following my current Instructions.
You probably are still on early Oreo or wrong TWRP. You're not understanding you followed outdated Instructions.
Section 9 is about updating to Pie. Your Reddit stuff copied from HERE was written before LG stock Pie even existed.
Mod Edit
Hey friend, cool your jets, chazz asked nicely. He said please repeatedly. And he's the author of the instructions you've tried to follow.
As chazz explained, those ones are out of date. He linked you the recent instructions that I and many others used successfully to root and twrp our lgv30s to get into pie and now 10.
So, go easy pal. Chazz has spent ages helping others out. And his guides are pure gold.
I'd suggest you replace the out of date guidance with current, or better, just link to chazz guide directly in XDA. So others can see best guidance too. Then come telegram and you'll get plenty help there if you get stuck
And up to you ofc, but a little apology goes a long way to fix mistakes
Good luck

Thanks for this. I understand
Thread cleaned. Outdated copied instructions removed and current instructional thread linked.
Could everybody please take a deep breath and try to respect each other.
Can anyone please provide a proper, elaborate guide for compiling roms for miatoll tree? Have time in lockdown and eager to learn the process.
The guides on google are way too generic or backdated. I guess it'll help many people like me if some DEVS took the time to write a guide which shall in turn, in my opinion promote more development.
Come on,some devs got to give something... I know I'm not the only one looking for this.....

Do you think following a "guide for compiling roms" enough to compile roms after roms... it's not so easy. I'm not developer, only was curious to try to build roms for my phone. All information you can find on the internet, just need to search.
If you really want to start and learn, first step is to prepare your PC to android build, ex.:
