As the title says i am ready to show you guys how to install MMB29X and then how to root the device.
First of all , the requirements ofcourse..
1. A Nexus 5 with an unlocked bootloader obviously .. if not i'm gonna show you how to unlock the bootloader safe and fast.
2. Usb Cable ,preferably micro-usb , the size does not matter at all ..
3. ADB and FASTBOOT Drivers , you can download them from here
4. Original Firmware package from here
5. SuperSU Beta 2.66 from here
6. CWM Recovery , i used it in process you can use it too , worked for me ,it should work for you too.. here
7. Some Time
First Of all , download everything and install the drivers systemwide (reccomended)
1.0 Unlock your bootloader.. WARNING (THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE!)
1.1 - To do that put your phone into fastboot bode and connect it to the computer and search for adb in the programs , press windows key and search for adb , you will see a program called adb.exe don't panic and click the file! right click and open file location.
1.2 - After you will probably see fastboot and adb programs exe's good , that means you installed everything corectly congratulations!
1.3 - Shift+ Right click on a blank space and select open command window here.
1.4 - With the Device connected to pc via fastboot type in that command window ,without commas "fastboot oem unlock" that will unlock your bootloader , then type "reboot bootloader" to reboot to bootloader again. then you have to restart the phone normally and proceed to the next step.
2.0 Flashing MMB29X Image
2.1 - Put your phone into bootloader mode , power off the device and put it into bootloader mode vol.down + power then connect it to the computer ( hope you backed up your data! )
2.2 - On the computer ,copy the downloaded image file to the adb root folder that i talked in the first step then right click on the .tgz image file and extract it in there.
2.3 - Shift + Right click again on a blank space and select open command window here.
2.4 - Navigate onto the folder called "hammerhead-mmb29x" and run "flash-all.bat" file , that batch file will flash everything just take a break and relax until is finished then power up the device and configure it , wifi , google account etc..
2.5 - Copy SuperSU .zip file into sdcard directory
3.0 Custom Recovery and Root!! Finally ..
3.1 - After you completed step 2.5 power off your device and put it into bootloader mode and connect it to the computer.
3.2 - Copy "recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-hammerhead.img" into that adb folder that we used before and rename it into "cwm.img"
3.3 - Shift + Right Click and select open command window here and type "fastboot flash recovery cwm.img"
3.4 - After the process is finished , go straight without rebooting into recovery mode by pressing the vol. down button 2 times and press power button to select the option to enter into the recovery mode.
3.5 - Select install zip > choose zip from sdcard > 0/ > and select supersu zip file , then install it! then go back and reboot the phone , IT WILL PROBABLY ASK YOU TO ROOT THE DEVICE , JUST PRESS NO AND LEAVE THE PHONE TO REBOOT !!
3.6 - Wait the phone to reboot and enjoy your rooted device!
3.7 - Press Thanks if i helped :good:
You've come a long way in a short time...
But your tutorial needs a proper proof-read. Did you walk through these steps yourself to make sure that the instructions are correct?
"SuperSU Beta 2.66" - why not the newest version?
"Usb Cable ,preferably micro-usb" - what other type will fit?
Step 1.0 You haven't mentioned in big red capital underlined letters "This will wipe your phone".
Step 1.4 "then you have to restart the phone normally" - why, since the next step is "Put your phone into bootloader mode"?
Step 2.1 "Put your phone into bootloader mode , power off the device and put it into bootloader mode" doesn't really make sense.
Step 2.4 You haven't mentioned in big red capital underlined letters "This will wipe your phone".
Step 3.2 says "rename it into "cwm.img"" and the following flash command refers to "zip".
Step 3.3 "type "flash recovery cwm.zip"" - wrong. "Fastboot flash recovery cwm.img".
But kudos for writing the tutorial and posting it as a help to others. Can you correct at least the errors so that new users don't get in a mess? And this time I suggest that you then walk through it step by step to be sure that you've got it all right.
Here is the complete guide for update to the latest firmware for those who have rooted phone:
[GUIDE] Update stock rooted/modified rom to last 6.0 Marshmallow w/o losing your data
I think it is sufficient and complete ...

Fixed!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Really? I still see v2.66, "preferably micro-USB"... I stopped reading after that.
And you haven't confirmed that you've walked through the instructions to test that they now work.
Have you heard the saying "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing"?
And finally a general message - maybe I should add it to my signature:
(P.S. A plea to everyone in these forums. Don't reply to a simple 1-page thread post copying the entire post to which you're replying. I've already read the original - I don't need to read it again. Copy the original post only where necessary - e.g. if it's on a previous page. And even then copy only the point to which you're replying, not the entire post. The result will be clearer and shorter threads which will be more enjoyable to read.)
While we do appreciate your effort , the guide is incomplete and incoherent.
It might brick phones of new users.

Firstly, I want to say ‘thankyou’ to pranaay saini and dr.faramroze. u guys are first man who post topic guide root and build specialy TWRP for Moto E3 Power. And now, I want to share my story about my process ‘rooting Moto E3 Power’ LoL :
*Note:
1/ Im a newbie, not a specialist about android phone or technician mobile. I just a person who curious ‘rooting android’ to make my phone can delete almost factory app not neccesary.LoL. Truly, I want to cheat mobile game =)).
2/ I had successful root HTC One M7 before, so Let’s see me have a little exp for Rooting . Then own the new Moto E3 Power and I want do the same HTC .
*My story:
I bought the new E3 Power on online store and Im going to root it. Unluckily, I forgot to ‘fastboot format userdata’ and this phone gonna ‘bootloop’ :v. I bring it to fix in small repair phone center (I already give them the stock rom), hope they can flash rom stock but they turn my phone into ‘hard bricked mode’ :v, less well they format S/N @@.
That’s a awful time in my life =)), I sent it back to store. Luckily, they accept to fix it cause I just used it for 2 days (actually I told them it was factory error) and maybe they believe it true ‘opsss! So sorry’.
After my phone fixed, I root it again, and this time I did really carefully so ‘Your device has rooted’ Bravo! =)). And ‘Peaceful time’ long last 4months, I just install SDMaid and run Luckypatcher to crack SDMaid FREE up to SDMaid PRO, and used SDMaid to cleanup the phone, then my phone run to error ‘com.android.phone had stoped’, and I also find many ways to fix this problem, almost solution on the internet I have try but it’s not working, the finnally option, I chose to ‘reset phone to factory’ . OOOPS! My phone got ‘Soft bricked’ =.=,unfortunately I had deleted file TWRP backup @@, then I tried to flash stock rom thought TWRP but it error =.=. At this moment, I think ‘prehap I bring it to store fix it again?’ . NOPE! Im looking on the internet to find out solution to fix it (just a few days before I write this topic), finally only way to fix that is ‘SP Flash Tool’ =)), and it work! .
*So it’s all my story when I come to E3 GOD Power =)). Sorry if it so drammatic and bad english :”>. U guys can skip that and go to Main Problem here:

*Note:
1/ Im a newbie, not a specialist about android phone or technician mobile. I just a person who curious ‘rooting android’ to make my phone can delete almost factory app not neccesary.LoL. Truly, I want to cheat mobile game =)).
2/ I had successful root HTC One M7 before, so Let’s see me have a little exp for Rooting . Then own the new Moto E3 Power and I want do the same HTC .
*My story:
I bought the new E3 Power on online store and Im going to root it. Unluckily, I forgot to ‘fastboot format userdata’ and this phone gonna ‘bootloop’ :v. I bring it to fix in small repair phone center (I already give them the stock rom), hope they can flash rom stock but they turn my phone into ‘hard bricked mode’ :v, less well they format S/N @@.
That’s a awful time in my life =)), I sent it back to store. Luckily, they accept to fix it cause I just used it for 2 days (actually I told them it was factory error) and maybe they believe it true ‘opsss! So sorry’.
After my phone fixed, I root it again, and this time I did really carefully so ‘Your device has rooted’ Bravo! =)). And ‘Peaceful time’ long last 4months, I just install SDMaid and run Luckypatcher to crack SDMaid FREE up to SDMaid PRO, and used SDMaid to cleanup the phone, then my phone run to error ‘com.android.phone had stoped’, and I also find many ways to fix this problem, almost solution on the internet I have try but it’s not working, the finnally option, I chose to ‘reset phone to factory’ . OOOPS! My phone got ‘Soft bricked’ =.=,unfortunately I had deleted file TWRP backup @@, then I tried to flash stock rom thought TWRP but it error =.=. At this moment, I think ‘prehap I bring it to store fix it again?’ . NOPE! Im looking on the internet to find out solution to fix it (just a few days before I write this topic), finally only way to fix that is ‘SP Flash Tool’ =)), and it work! .
*So it’s all my story when I come to E3 GOD Power =)). Sorry if it so drammatic and bad english :”>. U guys can skip that and go to Main Problem here:

Awesome post brother! I only wish I had simply read this post before messing up so much with my phone. Actually, I was messing with some magisk module (edxposed) whick bricked my device and got me stuck at a bootloop and with no recovery partition at all. (It erased my TWRP). So I used the sp flash tool and formatted the whole flash (at that time, I hadn't read this post of yours). Then I flashed my entire firmware back via the sp flash tool. So I thought that now my problem was fixed. But when I switched on my phone I saw my phone's IMEI Number gone! And the sim not working and showing invalid IMEI message. So I tried to find a fix on the internet and I found 2 solutions. First was using an app which requires the phone to support some mtk engineering mode. I followed the instructions and realised that maybe our phone Moto E3 Power doesn't support this mode. So I switched to the second solution, which required root access. So then I set off for rooting my newly unbricked phone. But I again did some mistakes:
1.) Allowed usb debugging and OEM unlocking in my phone's developer options in settings.
2.) I installed minimal ADB v1.4.3 on a windows 10 computer. Checked my phone's connection with the PC via ADB command adb devices. It worked showing some error initially (daemon not started.... Starting daemon...) and then showing some hex code signifying my device's successful connection with the PC.
3.) Used ADB command adb reboot bootloader to boot into fastboot mode. It worked too.
3.) Used fastboot command fastboot devices to check if my device is still being recognised as connected to the pc. Here came an error (the command didn't return any hex code like the adb command adb devices did. So I googled a solution which involves updating the "Android ADB interface" to "Android Bootloader interface" in the "Android device" submenu of the "Device Manager" window of the "control panel" of the pc, by updating its drivers using the "latest windows usb drivers" 8mb file which could be found very easily on the internet (searching solution for fastboot device drivers update on Google). {*Note: If you hadn't installed beforehand, any adb and fastboot drivers at all, then you will see "Other devices" submenu instead of the "Android device" submenu in the device manager window.
Also, you compulsively need to be in fastboot mode with your device attached to pc, in order to see this "other devices" submenu.} So now the fastboot devices command started working by showing the hex code like adb devices command did.
4.) Used fastboot oem unlock command to unlock the phone's bootloader. Pressed the volume up button of my phone as instructed by the warning message on my phone's screen. Unlock flow started in the minimal adb window in my pc. Finished successfully within 9-13 seconds. Another mistake now, after unlocking the bootloader, I forgot to format userdata.. Actually I didn't know about the fastboot format userdata command. I thought the fastboot -w reboot is the only way to format userdata (which wasn't working for me). Unaware of the fact that now I was going to experience a bootloop during rebooting my phone, I continued with the further steps.
5.) Used fastboot flash recovery recovery.img command to flash the unofficial twrp img which I had already placed in the minimal adb folder and renamed to recovery.img I used unofficial twrp v3.1.1 (by moderator) [which was working perfectly earlier on my phone] {link at bottom}. Successfully finished this step too. [You can use either of the two twrp: Dr. Faramroze (link provided by op) or moderator (link provided by me). Both are working fine]
6.) Used the fastboot reboot command (although it never works for me). It shows finished in the minimal adb cmd screen but the phone doesn't reboot. So I manually unplugged the device. Removed and reinserted the battery.
7.) Now rebooted to recovery screen and found the unofficial twrp successfully installed. [ Warning: After the 6th step, don't reboot your phone normally. Instead, boot into the fastboot window [hold power + vol. up] and select the boot into recovery option. This is required only for the first boot up process or else if you do a normal boot during the first boot, the stock recovery replaces our recently flashed custom recovery..
8.) Upon entering the twrp recovery during the first boot, I installed the magisk v19.3 zip I had in my external SD card. It's not necessary to root your phone right now, you may even do it later by simply rebooting from within the twrp, and later on entering recovery after your phone is all set and working and when you're free from other hassles. But I went for rooting during the first boot. And encountered an error something like: "Cannot mount data(0mb)" at the second last line. So, I could not root my phone. So I decided to root it later on and currently just have it switched on. So, I went for the reboot option in twrp.
9.) My phone started rebooting and got stuck at the boot screen with the tag Device unlocked at the lower left corner (indicating unlocked bootloader). But this was something familiar to me, I had already dealt with this error the previous time I rooted my phone. The solution was very simple. I just had to flash a no verity-otp-encrypt.zip file {included along with the twrp link} using the twrp recovery and then my device would boot properly, as it did the last time.
10.) I flashed the no verity-otp-encrypt.zip file from the twrp and got so many red line errors during the flash. (This didn't happen the last time). Every error had the same words, "cannot mount data (0mb)". So I went back to try rebooting again.
11.) Started rebooting again. This time the device didn't get stuck at boot screen, rather it went into a bootloop, rebooting again and again. Now maybe the no verity-otp-encrypt.zip file did its job and my device got free from the stuck at boot screen problem but simultaneously got caught by the bootloop error probably created due to not formatting the userdata after unlocking the bootloader. Or maybe the "cannot mount data (0mb) just ruined up my phone. Whatever the cause be, I just went for reflashing the entire firmware via the sp flash tool and temporarily forgetting all the bootloader unlocking, custom recovery, rooting, etc and live with an invalid IMEI phone without a working sim, until I find a solution on the internet.
12.) And then, I ended up here on this thread leaving my experience, and learning my mistakes from the OP's post. Very soon I will depart for the cyber cafe to try again without any mistakes this time.
At last thanks for this awesome thread.
And yes here's the link for the unofficial twrp 3.1.1 (by moderator) & the no verity-otp-encrypt.zip file:

Search Google for "Moto E3 power firmware flash file" and you will come across websites providing the flash file. The file would have a name like "Motorola_Moto_E3_Power_XT1706_MT6735M_S135_161108_6.0.1.zip". The "S135" over here is the firmware version and will vary upon the version uploaded by the site. The latest version as of today is S152_190315. I somehow managed to download a S151 file and I forgot where I downloaded it from. But you can still go for older firmware versions, and then when you're done with all the flashing and rooting and all that and your phone starts up without any error, you can go for OTA updates from within the settings>about phone>system update.

S151 is newest (flash file available for download) for XT1706. [Actually S152 is latest but it's not yet available for download] So you succeeded maybe because you used the older version. Cause a guy commented that he couldn't root the newer versions but could root the older versions.

Is it necessary to uncheck preload? If yes, I think you should highlight it. Anyway, I didn't uncheck preload and the flash successfully worked for me? So what difference does it count for? Please do notify us of its significance.

I didn't remove my battery, sim or microsd card and everything worked fine for me. Also, I didn't connect my device to pc after pressing the download button in the sp flash tool. Here's what I did instead:
I kept the sp flash tool ready with all steps. Only pressing the download button remaining. Then I connected my device to the pc. As soon as you hear the device connected sound, press the download button. And the flashing process will start. If you get late in pressing the download button, you will hear another sound of device disconnected. Then you'll have to remove the usb from the device and replug it and go for trying again pressing the download button as soon as you hear the device connected sound.

Can you explain how you downgraded from Android 9 to Android 7?
And what build number did you use?
I have a Nokia 5 that says TA-1053 in the phone settings, but when I put the phone in recovery mode, it says TA-1024 above the recovery mode !!
Build number of my phone : 00WW_6_19B_SP04
I can't flash "OTA december update" on recovery mode !
I select "Install update from adb" option in Recovery mode, but the computer does not recognize my phone!!
I'm sure the adb driver is installed correctly.
Because it recognizes other phones in this mode
any help ?
Can I downgrade my Nokia 5 ta-1053 without unlocking bootloader? Don't know why I am not getting any ADB device. Installed many USB drivers, but didn't work.
