[Q] Unlocking BL and Rooting XT1068 DUAL SIM

Hello,
I recently bought a moto g 2014 XT1068 Dual Sim, and I've already updated to 5.0.2.
I really wanted to get it rooted, and as I've seen, it is only possible by first unlocking the BL.
I wanted to ask if there is a safe method to to that, since my device is Dual Sim, and I dont know if the methods provided in the forum work
I'm aware that the warranty will probably be voided (I'm from europe and bought it here also), but honestly I just want the root access.
Please just tell me, if possible, if there is any safe method to unlock the BL and after that, to root my Dual SIM.
Thank you for your patience,
maximuns

is this working on lollipop 5.0.2?

I´ve got the XT1068 dual sim too and I rooted it with this method:
1) Unlock bootloader on the Motorola homepage following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/wip-unlock-bootloader-moto-g-2nd-gen-t2875728
Minimal ADB and Fastboot does the job.Unlocking BL will erase your userdata.
2) Now you have two options:
a) Flash TWRP 2.8.5.0: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-8-2-0-touch-recovery-t2979149 (I used 2.8.5.0, 2.8.6.0 surely will work too)
b) Or just boot into it, the way I did : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/guide-root-moto-g-2014-flash-custom-t2955243
Command for flashing (TWRP will replace your stock recovery):
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot [B]flash[/B] openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-titan.img
(You can rename the file for instance in recovery.img, then the command will be fastboot flash recovery.img)
Reboot into TWRP recovery,flash latest superSU (earlier versions will cause bootloops): http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip (it should be placed in internal or external storage) via the Install menu.
Wipe cache and dalvik.
Command for booting into TWRP ( TWRP will not be flashed on your phone, it´s just temporary.As described in the linked thread above the recovery.img-file has to resist in the adb and fastbot folder):
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot[B] boot[/B] openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-titan.img
Your phone will restart in temporary custom recovery.
Flash the latest superSU: http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip from TWRP (it should be placed in internal or external storage) via the Install menu.
Wipe cache and dalvik,reboot phone and you´re done.

Wolfcity's method will work with Lollipop 5.0.2.
I took the same way and everything works fine.

ok i've done it ahah
I just cant boot the recovery.img, it says 'No such file or directory', help???

Did you enter the path and file name correctly?
Check it again.

The recovery file has to be inside the Minimal Adb and Fastboot folder. Paste it there, open the folder, press Shift and do a right click inside the folder. From the menu choose "open a command window here".
Now enter the above adb commands.
Like Lars wrote the path must be correct. If you installed Adb and Fastboot in the root of C: the path should be " C:\Minimal Adb and Fastboot."
Just one thing,if you are annoyed by the bootloader unlocked warning screen just flash (before or after superSU) this logo.bin:https://mega.co.nz/#!cc1AGa6Y!6ctYLqVYWyfhPBU5rF1TX_r9jjF68cP3qcknAWU2DjE
That replaces the warning screen with the stock bootlogo.

Thanks, got it and working flawlessly. Just a question, when I want to flash anything I can repeat the process again (Boot into twrp) with no need to flash it?

Yes you can do it but why don't you want to flash the custom recovery?

If you don´t want to flash roms,kernels etc. all the time,there is no need to flash a custom recovery. You can flash anything like superSU,logo.bin etc. by booting into TWRP, also backup/restore works this way on the Moto G. You can´t do this with a Nexus 7, it won´t boot into TWRP.
Some people want to change as less as possible as long they stay stock.When it comes to custom roms and kernels flashing the custom recovery is the better choice for sure.

Well, just tried it.. When i used the adb reboot bootloader command, the phone turned off and the screen where it says "Phone is locked" poped out. I freaked out, plugged the phone out, and restarted it . Is that supposed to happen?

Everything worked up until the step :

I'm still not able to delete this file as it's protected. I would assume SU would ask me to confirm the rights to allow the filemanager to do it but it doesn't.
Any ideas?
Other than that, great instructions on installing the recovery and SU! :good:
EDIT:
Found the right post:
Here are instructions for installing VIPER4Android on P7
1) have your phone ROOTED
2) install BUSYBOX from PLAYSTORE
3) install terminal emulator from PLAYSTORE
4)open Terminal Emulator and type in the following commands exactly:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cd system
lsattr
chattr -R -i *
rm –f /system/set_immutable.list
lsattr
After this set_immutable.list should be removed and you should have full access. Now you can install VIPER4Android

TWRP 3.0.2 for Acer Predator 8 ported by Ruben.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ROOTING:
After flashing TWRP 3.0.2, use the SuperSU 2.46 flashable zip, do NOT use latest version or will result in a bootloop. Good Luck and have fun with rooting.
REQUIREMENTS
1- Unlocked Bootloader (search on google if you dont know how to unlock)
2- Drivers and Adb/Fastboot commands knowledge
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New TWRP bugfix update! Now you can flash stock rom on TWRP without bricking! Download Page updated!
Bugs:
1- adb shell command needs to be sent before system partition is mounted or it will give an error, after doing adb shell you can mount system and do all the modifications you need.
2- You cant flash any img on twrp it gives an error, im trying to fix.
3- Backups do work, but everytime twrp restarts, the serial number folder seems to change (which means that on /TWRP/BACKUPS/serialnumber/backupsinside/ changes every reboot so you have to go get the backup inside the old serialnumber folder and put on the new serialnumber folder).
Im leaving an unsecured boot image because system does not boot android if anything seems changed. So please if system does not boot after flashing twrp/rooting, flash the unsecured boot img on fastboot
Steps to Install TWRP and root

Continuation 6. Step by Step of Step 6 since people seem to have been running into issues with it:
After rebooting to TWRP and having SuperSU.zip in the tablet storage. Go on Install tab and press the supersu file and install/flash it then reboot the device.

Can't flash my recovery to TWRP on LineageOS

Hello dear fellows,
since 2 days i try to fix a problem with my unlocked and rooted Sony Xperia Z C6603. Still not finding any solution via internet, i take my last chance and post it here.
I unlocked and rooted my C6603 2 days ago and installed via fastboot the actual Lineage Custom ROM lineage-14.1-20171027-nightly-yuga-signed.zip.
Everything worked fine.
Bootloader -> fastboot flash boot boot.img (from lineage-14.1-20171027-nightly-yuga-signed.zip) :good:
Restart into Android Recovery :good:
Install via ADB sideload lineage-14.1-20171027-nightly-yuga-signed.zip :good:
Install via ADB sideload LineageOS 14.1 ARM32 SU (for full root access) :good:
Boot into Lineage, activate dev options and enabled Android-Debugging + Root-Access -> Apps and ADB :good:
Now my problem:
The so called "Android Recovery" is rly bad, so i try to override this recovery with TWRP 3.0.2.0 (yuga) but everytime i get the following error:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'recovery' (10656 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.351s]
writing 'recovery'...
[B]FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)[/B]
finished. total time: 0.370s
Where is my fffffff problem^^ Yes my phone is unlocked and yes, it is rooted (checked it also via root app).
I cant install gapps (dont work with ADB sideload) and and i want a proper recovery for backups and stuff...
So, what is wrong with me? Maybe someone of you have a good idea and can help me, i would rly appreciate it!
Sry for my not so proper english, hope u understand my problem anyway
Phone information:
Sony Xperia Z C6603
Android 7.1.2
LineageOS 14.1-20171020-NIGHTLY-yuga
LineageOS API-Level Guava (7)
Kernel-Version 3.4.113-yuga-gd710842
Build-Number lineage-yuga-userbug 7.2.1 NJH47F f281cb28f4

Thanx for all the help^^
I figured it out what to do:
1. fastboot flash boot twrp(actualversion).zip NOT fastboot flash recovery twrp(actualversion).zip
2. reboot into TWRP recovery mode
3. check if u can mount your data folder
3.1 if not, go to wipe -> advanced wipe -> change file system to ext4
4. install via ADB the actual LineageOS (or put the actual LineageOS file on your Sony/SD)
4. install LineageOS 14.1 SU via ADB (or put the actual LineageOS 14.1 SU file on your Sony/SD) -> https://www.lineageosroms.org/forums/topic/how-to-root-lineage-os-13-14-1-marshmallow-nougat-rom/
6. install Open gapps -> http://opengapps.org/
7. reboot and configure LineageOS
7.1 check your developer options -> Debugging + root access for ADB and apps
8. download TWRP apk via PlayStore
8.1 give TWRP apk root access and download the actual TWRP file for yuga
9. flash this TWRP recovery via app
10. DONE
Everything works fine (for now )
Topic can be closed!

Same problem here, filesystem is ext4, TWRP app says it flashed but after a reboot its not there.
Always have to go via "fastboot flash boot twrp.img" and on the next reboot after flashing lineage its gone again.
After some research I found it it belongs into the fota partition, but I dont seem to have one.

Did you manage to solve the issue? I have the exact problem. The TWRP says it flashed but recovery is still stock android.

I have C6602. Someone on reddit gave me the solution; (do note that I had to run
Code:
adb root
for
Code:
su
to work.
You have a Xperia device which deals with recovery kind of weird. Recovery is stored with the kernel, not in a standalone recovery partition. Because of this you need to flash it to a FOTAKernel partition and use a kernel that supports FOTAKernel (the LineageOS one does).
To flash TWRP, first move the recovery image to your device with the adb command
Code:
adb push twrp-3.0.2-0-yuga.img /sdcard
. Then run
Code:
adb shell
to get access to the shell. Then run
Code:
su
and accept any prompts to gain root access. Then to actually flash, run
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/twrp-3.0.2-0-yuga.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel

How to flash twrp recovery in Xiaomi Redmi 4a with MIUI 9? Lets see...

I have was trying to flash the TWRP recovery in my phone (Redmi 4a), but the recovery always got replaced after every reboot with the STOCK recovery.
I am now going to show how to flash this, beside the command line technique......(Although, some command line is necessary).....
1. Set adb and fastboot files in your Windows pc, fine
2. Now download the required twrp on to your pc and place it in adb-fastboot's folder.... or techies could path to that ****....
3. Enter bootloader with.....
adb reboot bootloader​4. Now boot to twrp using......
fastboot boot recovery.img​(I have named that twrp file as recovery)
5. Download super su zip, move it in phone, root your device....... reboot your device.......Now the second phase of process comes
6. Install twrp app in your phone, open it, copy the twrp image file to phone, tap on flash recovery
7. Select your twrp recovery in the phone and boom....... you have done it...... reboot to recovery by adb reboot recovery
I FORGOT TO MENTION, you should have your device unlocked, and I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MISHAP and FOR THE STATE TO PLAY CRICKET WITH YOUR PHONE...... I am honest ....... IT WORKED FOR ME......

any tester n confirmed worked ?

No reason to do all those, you can flash recovery directly from fastboot with one command. The command:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
just boot to that recovery one time. This is good for testing a recovery or use it for one time without install it.
If you want to flash a recovery you just need to use:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Also for both commands isn't necessary to rename the recovery file or to put it adb folder, or root the device. Just need to specify the path and filename in place of "recovery.img". For e.g:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery C:\Phone\Recoveries\twrp_3.2.1.img
