[Q] XT1053 Need help with Root

I have the dev edition of the moto x 2013. I've unlocked the bootloader successfully. I flashed the Recovery img with this command
Code:
mfastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-ghost.img
and flashed the SuperSU.zip (UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40) through the Recovery successfully. But when I checked to see if it was rooted with Root Checker Basic, it said the Device wasn't.
I'm sure that I've done all the steps right in this guide Guide on "Rooting Unlocked Bootloader". Please Help
PS: I'm new to all this rooting and stuff. Sorry if there is a post out there that covers this. I couldn't find any posts that say this guide didn't work.

Did you download SuperSU from the play store? ?

Here is a video guide also... To see if you missed anything,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487635

Thanks for the video guide! I'll check into it later, as it is kind of late here...
No I did not install SuperSU from the play store. I got it from the link the guide provided me. and sorry I can't post a url since i'm new to this forum

You still at need to install SuperSU. You've flashed the binaries in recovery, but need the app if it isn't in your app drawer.

If it is in your app drawer already, open it... See what it says.

Okay. I installed it, updated the binaries, and it flashed for me... It works now. I see why the app is needed. Thank you!!!!
Eh, Quick question, does it matter what android version i need to do a nandroid backup and is it easy?

Android version is irrelevant to make a backup. Yes it's easy... Just go to backup in your recovery, click.... Done. ?

Process - Band 12 OTA Update with root?

Surprised that I haven't seen a post on XDA yet showing us peeps that have rooted and removed ads how to apply this new update. I still think it's fictitious! haha
Seriously though, what would be the proper procedure here, revert to 100% stock then take the OTA or does anyone have hiding the .img file to flash via fastboot or whatnot? Are we able to even get root back after the B12 update? If not, I'd rather leave the phone as it is with root. It's been a long time since I've even messed with this phone because of lack of B12. I just impulse bought it because I wanted a decent spare phone.
Thanks!

Your answer was extremely vague, but after reading the OP in that post several times, I took the plunge with 7.4.2 and worked perfectly. Thank you!
So for those that were confused like I was, here's the skinny:
Anyone with a R1 HD running build 6.6 or 6.8 can do what I did:
1. download the 7.4.2 shown in the post above to your SD card
2. boot into twrp (I used whatever version I already had - back when it first came out to rid me of ads)
3. full wipe (I tried dirty flashing, and magical unicorns reached out from my screen and slapped me in the face)
4. booted and waited about 5 minutes.
5. LTE Discovery shows the use of Band 12 without modification (I'm in a burb of Dayton, OH which is fringe Band 4 and excellent Band 12 coverage)
6. VoLTE is shown in Settings --> More --> Cellular Networks --> "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode"

Yes its not very clear
The last time I flashed something from that page it reset everything I did not care I had my apps backup.
So I have to do a full wipe? then restore with android titanium backup
then root once more from twrp?
Im not sure why I would want to flash this this is has updater enabled. I would lost root if they pushed a new update. I could just disable it like before.
its a good hour to do that. I have to back up the current rom. get a good back up with titanium backup, install the room root it set up the account then restore with titanium backup. Im using tmobel is it worh it? Im on wifi most of the time.
Modified_rom_R1HD_7.4.2.zip (Modified_rom is stock 7.4.2 rom minus the preloader_p6601.bin, lk.bin, logo.bin, secro.img, trustzone.bin, uboot.img from 7.4.2, as well as amazon apps, no ads, updater enabled, so this rom is safe to use.)

I dirty flashed, no problems. didn't lose any apps. You will lose root but then you just flash supersu and you're rooted again. It's really no problem at all to do.

This enables Blu's wireless update, not Amazon's. Also the modified stock feels pretty much like the V12 did. No traces of Amazon at all.

Has anyone installed Galaxy Note 8 One UI Beta? Link with instructions included.

Has anyone tested the latest beta leaks for the Note 8 One UI N950USQU5DRL5, DRL6, or DRL7. Here is a LINK to Androidsage with instructions. I am tempted to install however I have a Gear S2 watch and Gear VR. If I read correctly DRL6 and 7 work with the gear wearable. Here is another LINK that I found that you should look at before installing the latest beta leaks.

A little search would have helped you out here.. https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-note-8/help/update-to-pie-announced-t3881335

I've installed N950USQU5DRL7 and both my Gear S2 watch and my Gear VR are working without any problems. So far so good. I changed my theme back to default theme to set the night mode for dark ui and it's working. I'll update this thread if I find any problems.

You just need to make sure you hold the buttons down securely so they don't come up a little bit and it's a lot harder to keep them held down with a case on the phone.. You need to hold all 3 buttons for up to 2 minutes sometimes and if you don't that's why you get stuck in a boot loop..

I did the Odin back to CRK1 and after it "passed" and rebooted, got into a continuous bootloop for several hours.

I just remembered something.. If it ever does that to you again open a command prompt or terminal and send the reboot recovery through ADB. I know you know how to use adb but to those of you who don't know just type "adb shell reboot recovery" without the quotes obviously and wait for the phone to do it.. It may work and it may not..

Well, might have to see if it does................I know CRK1 was the update for December, isn't there a newer one for Oreo for January?

Im aware that the one ui android pie update will be dropping soon but im interested in trying this method for testing it before the official release. My question is are you all using sprint carrier locked devices or unlocked devices?

October 2019 Security update for Mi A2 broke my phone

How can I remove the October update on my phone or fix? I install and the phone does not turn on :crying::crying::crying:

I had the same problem, i fixed it by just connecting the device to my laptop using the usb cable.Just restart it once to twice and it worked.
Now when it boots up it says that the update has failed, but when i again update the phone, it shuts down the phone at next login, but when i restart the device again the device was updated to october verson

i disagree. they are at fault. no ota should brick stock phones. ever. this has happend before on other phones too (mi 9se being the latest one i've seen). some users would update properly and some would just end up with nice and expensive paperweights. via ota. if i was a betting man, i would assume this is related to the version of the bootloader on the phone. and sometime they miss something on the ota update. causing certain versions of the bootloaders to reject the update. but i dont have any expertise here, im just an average joe with a phone that failed an OTA miserably. perhaps just restarting it a couple of times also is enough, but i resurrected mine with the fastboot continue i had found earlier.

I can understand but, if my untouched phone just got an OTA and successfully installed it, the update should be ok, idk why some phones have this type of problem but it's not normal, maybe an old mod? A restored partition after a ROM install? Idk, but i can say that: the OTA is ok on my stock phone, the problem should be something else...

nope... nothing new interesting/installed since the previous sept ota. never unlocked, never restored, never rooted it. it is/was plain stock...

Then retry the update, take a backup First, if the OTA brick the phone again ask for a complete refund

Same here, completely stock. Turned off after the Android One screen, restarted and booted again but with an Update Failed notification. Tried it a second time, same thing. First time I have issues with an OTA so far.

My phone is Global Version, I inform if the brick is in this model

It doesn't have 2 years of warranty? Btw mine Is Global too, i think(?), it's from Germany

Those who "soft-bricked with OTA" : Just keep trying to reboot many times with external power on and pauses. Sooner or later phone is to reboot to now (after OTA) inactive slot (read about A/B structure if you do not know what i mean) with the previous bootable version (10.0.14.0 ? or any which was there before OTA), - as such behavior is specified in AndroidOne requirements.

yep they're all global, there was never a mi a2 for china ( that one is the mi 6x). there is a version for india but i doubt it was ever sold outside india since it has fewer lte bands.

Complete coloros 6 rooting guide (no issues at all, everything works)

Guys , The UPDATE Version RMX1921EX_11_A.16 fixed all issues relating to unlocking and rooting.
Fingerprint works, no lock screen pin error, no magisk installation error (fix for core only mode is below) , safetyNEt bypass also works.
.
Here is the step by step guide.
1- Update to firmware version RMX1921EX_11_A.16. link available in reame website (fingerprint fix is fixed from updates here after)
2- Unlock bootloader
3- Flash twrp by thesprintster, https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-xt/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-realme-5-pro-t3985459
4 -flash magisk
5- Flash magisk Core-only fix (this fix is for 5 pro, however i have tried and it works for xt https://drive.google.com/file/d/108eV7pOuX50wQeO84kxmW-wQbZVdx0DZ/view
6-Reboot
Done.
If magisk shows core-only mode, go to settings and untick coreonly mode, enable magisk hide and reboot.
everything should be working now.
when you boot back to recovery the second time, twrp might be lost. flash it again. it will work perfectly from there after. worked for me at least.
This is how i rooted my phone today. I'm not a expert or anything. I took a leap of faith and moved forward.
For those who are going to it, I won't take responsibility if your phone breaks, so try it on your own risk.
Comment your result below, so others can try it out.
