Hello there.
I'm thinking about buying this phone, but I'd like to know:
1. Is it possible to root the phone? I haven't found any info on xda, but there is something here --> http://en.miui.com/thread-215325-1-1.html Can someone confirm that it works?
2. What about ROMs? I see that most of the Xiaomi devices have some (mi3/4 even have official CM support), here the section is empty. Is it not possible to develop ROMs for this device, or is it just a matter of time?
3. Is the bootloader locked?

Built-in direct root access in a multilingual Vietnamese firmware Rom_Ti_ngVi_t_Xiaomi-Redmi3_MobileCity_v1a_Full_Unbrick . The firmware is flashing by MiFlash (it's in the zip), with locked bootloader. Su by Chainfire, with the SuperSU.
Is there a confirmed information that they are planning to release unlock tool (like they did for Mi4 --> http://en.miui.com/thread-202290-1-1.html)?

Yes. This firmware saves me when the system is on my phone falls in the experiments. How to flash is here to see (only drivers easier are put, without such problems).
Or you can put the firmware via adb-interface. So I put my localized and tweaked version.
With unlocked bootloader yet like no one - Xiaomi needs to receive the approval to unlock. A request for this here (Xiaomi account needs).
Hi Guys, anybody succeeded in rooting v7.2.4.0?, i also need to know if there is a way to make google play as default app store
Think we'll need the global rom with no Chinese app store installed for Google to be a default.
Think either miui or xiaomi.eu sites there is a rooted latest version.... Not sure though

well then, i hope the Global Rom will come soon, since it would at least ease the pain
Please don't delete the xiaomi play store. It will send your phone into a boot loop. Read the Xiaomi.eu threads before doing anything.
hello, im new to the forums. I am looking for a rom that runs an early version of marshmallow that will play pokemon go. Ive tried a few roms but they come up with unsupported OS. Ive even tried using magisk and safetynet fix but i just get the same problem. Really frustrating. If anyone can give me a recommendation and simple instructions, I would greatly appreciate it. thanks
Just download the apk of pokemon go and install it. Thats it.
Stock Rom?

Custom ROM basically makes this not an option. Try loading Magisk (make sure it's your Sole superuser manager) and implementing the Safetynet bypass. Otherwise, you have to re-lock your bootloader and ... I think, be running the base ROM that came with your phone.

so youre saying to go back to completely stock and lock the bootloader? normally that would be fine, but i made a backup with a password enabled and now when i reload my backup, the password doesnt work. so im kind of screwed there as well.

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.

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.
I may have accidentally posted this in mods and stuff. But ive been looking for a way to root this phone for ages now and cant find one for the life of me. I want to install viper4android to get a little bit better quality out of the device speakers, but i cant find any way to root the phone. If someone can point me in the right direction it would be much appretiated

Is the stock rom out there anywhere on the internet? With my older samsungs i used to just try my best to root it and if i came close to or did end uo bricking it id flash everything bsic to stock and somehow itd work again
how many similar topics will you write ??
Wysłane z mojego LM-G850 przy użyciu Tapatalka
To not open yet another topic- has anyone managed to root this thing? There seems to be no TWRP or CWM, I found the firmware as KDZ but I am unable so far to extract the boot.img since no tool I found seems to work with that version of a KDZ. There is of course the usual "tools" like https://tunesgo.wondershare.com but I am absolutely unsure if this tool is even working and if so how trustworthy it is.
You can root the (European) LG8x with an official "unlock code" by LG Developers. BUT there is no TWRP or a custom rom. You may try GSI-Roms. I doubt, that canadian or US LG G8x can be rooted at all.

Dear friends,
I've read other question threads about this and searched a lot on the internet as well, but I haven't found a clear and direct answer to this.
My questions are as follows:
1 - Will Unlocking Bootloader and Performing Root Make Me Lose DRM Keys? If yes, how does it affect my device?
(The penultimate time I was left with the camera app unable to take pictures in low light and without updates via OTA). It was the Xperia Z3.
2 - Will I be able to install Gravitybox, Xposed Framework, Xposed Edge, Xposed Additions, Gesture Navigations, etc...? It's been 7 years since I've needed to root a device (the last one was the Xperia Z5), so I'm out of date.
3 - Is there a Photos and Videos widget for current versions of Android 12 or 13? I just can't bring that Widget to my new device even though I can get the Xperia Album to work normally.
Thanks in advance for all your help and advice. Forgive me for the google english and have a great day.
I can only help with question 1 lol no you don't lose any DRM keys from what I can tell. The only thing you will lose is widevine l1 to l3

1. You lose widevine L1 to L3, so no more HD content from prime , netflix, etc...
2. You can run Lsposed but gravity box wont work on android 13, worse it can cause bootloop and without twrp, idk if we can fix bootloop without full wipe. Idk if others module will work. Edit: lsposed work fine for me (xposed framework )
3. Idk, you may search playstore for photo widget?
so, do i understand this correctly, the trim area partition is lost and can not be backed up prior to bootloader unlocking, but you effectirvely lose nothing but widevine and the camera is not affected in any way?
No you don't lose anything from what I can tell lol also you can get widevine l1 back if you lock your bootloader and repair it with their tool

Gravity box wont work and may cause bootloop. And i think latest firmware is android 13. If you has CT72 i would suggest go for SEA version
Btw i forgot to say yesterday but use new flasher (google it from xda) to flash your firmware
