Hi friends, I've found a way to root 10.4.B.0.577 android 4.3. Please see the instructions below:
Prerequisite:
1. Download SuperSU flashable at: http://download.chainfire.eu/351/
2. Download extract the boot.img from CM10.2 (attached as well)
3. Download the install fastboot
Steps:
1. Flash the stock ROM of 10.4.B.0.577
2. Put the Tablet Z in fastboot mode (press and hold Vol+ when inserting USB cable)
3. Open a console where the fastboot.exe is located, type
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
4. Keep pressing Vol+ for a few times it boots up
5. Install SuperSU as normal
6. Power off the device
7. Flash the stock ROM of 10.4.B.0.577 again BUT EXCLUDE the SYSTEM
8. Boot up and you will have the SuperSU installed
My device is unlocked, I'm not sure if this works for locked bootloader as well. Try at your own risk! This method should work for both WIFI and LTE models.
[Files uploaded again, change 001.boot.zip to boot.zip.001 and do the same to 002 unzip]
This method works fine but only with unlocked bootloader as if you are locked you cant flash boot.img from fastboot

Sorry for asking again, I'm new and I'm struggling with this. I tried to follow your steps (my tablet is a SGP312). I followed the steps, but I'm not sure if the ZIP file with SuperSU has to be downloaded to the tablet or what, as in step 5 you say "install SuperSU as normal". Does that mean through play store ? Directly from the file ? If it´s from the file, how ?
When I tried this in my tablet, after flashing boot.img and rebooting, I got a loader screen where I selected add super used, rebooted, and then... the tablet didn´t start again. It gets stuck in the initial booting screen with the color lights passing.
Also, I noticed that after the fastboot reboot, the message that I got in the loader mentioned SGP311, not 312. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

you have to flash the SuperSU .zip file via CWM. Do you know how to enter CWM and flash a .zip file?

I think through the fastboot reboot, pressing the vol up. When I tried it before I entered in some kind of boot menu, with one option been "install from zip" or something like that but I didn´t try it.
I tried entering in it again and clicked on factory reset hoping that would do a cfresh install, but I still have the same issue: when powering up the tablet it keeps displaying the intro (the color lines) endlessly

you have to follow the guide!! at the step u flash boot.img and restart the tablet you must press rapidly many times to enter the boot menu. There u chose install from zip and find the file SuperSU.zip (i recommend u to use external sd card to save the SuperSU.zip file). When it finish u go back and find the ''Advanced'' option on the boot menu, u press it and then press power off. Then flash the stock ROM of 10.4.B.0.577 again BUT EXCLUDE the SYSTEM!!!

Thanks for your help. Actually I managed to do it pretty much as you said) except the advanced -> power off, which I didn´t know: I assumed that was the way to access the boot menu, and to install Super SU, so I copied the ZIP into my external SDCard, did all the steps, and my tablet came back to life... with SuperSU installed
Lucky me I did a full backup following another guide, because in my desperation to bring my tablet back to life I did a full wipe out / factory reset (which btw didn´t solve anything).
Thanks for your replies and apologies if my questions seemed dumb... It's been many years since I "almost" break a device and lost all the data

Sorry just realized that XDA did not allow .001 and .002. Please download them again, change 001.boot.zip to boot.zip.001 and do the same to 002 to unzip. Alternatively you can download CM10.2 and extract the boot.img from the zip.

Hello,
I have ever update my XTZ on 4.3 JB. Do you think it is necessary to "flashboot" again the new firmware (Step 7) after install of Supersu.zip ?
If yes, can you explain why ?

Hello,
At this guide u flash boot.img from CM10.2 ROM (Step 3). At the end you have to reflash the new firmware so the boot, kernel etc change, because if u stay with CM10.2 u will get bootloops!!

If you unlock bootloader you can't use music info download and Bravia engine also. Although, I unlocked my bootloader and I followed your guide rooting successfully my Xperia Tablet Z SGP311 with .577 firmware. I used the latest flashtool to unlock the bootloader!!
When I finished all the process of rooting the music info didn't work so I tried to relock the bootloader with flashtool!! I did and guess what!! I have root with locked bootloader, stock firmware and working music info download!!!
You can make a guide that everyone with his own ftf can root his device just unlocking and locking the bootloader!!
The process must be done strictly with flashtool cause it keeps the keys for the relock!!!

Flashing ROM with QFIL:
Getting ready:
Download and install on your PC:
vcredist_x86.zip
QPST_2.7.422.ZIP
Qualcomm_USBDriver_2.1.0.5.zip or Qualcomm_USB_Drivers.zip
Turn off your Vibe P1.
Hold Volume Up key and plug in USB cable conected to PC.
Open Device Manager on PC (press win+r and type "mmc devmgmt.msc" without quotes) then seek Qualcomm Lenovo HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in COM & LPT ports.
If you can see Qualcomm Lenovo HS-USB QDLoader 9008, you are ready to flash!
Flashing ROM:
Downoad QFIL ROM ( for exampe one of this: https://yadi.sk/d/hY3kNWJGrnpCU?ncrnd=5389 ) and unpack it.
Find QFIL in your Stary menu and launch it.
Select Qualcomm Lenovo HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM*) port by using "Select Port..." button
Click "Browse..." near "Programmer patch" field and select prog_emmc_firehose_89**.mbn file from the ROM's folder.
Click "Load XML…" and select "rawprogram0*.xml" file and then select "patch0.xml" file.
Press "Download" button and wait untill it ends (reboot or "ready" message).
If "ready" message appears and device does not go to reboot, then hold Volume UP + Power buttons for ~12 sec.
Flash unlocked bootloader & recovery:
Read "Flashing ROM" manual
Download P1a42_S272_160506_ROW_QPST (+uBL +Recovery + Root +region ) and unpack it.
If you have different ROM installed, then flash S272 (by selecting rawprogram0.xml) otherwise go to the next step.
Flash unlocked bootloader (by selecting rawprogram_unlock.xml) and reboot into ROM.
Open developers options and select "OEM unlock".
Also you can check Bootloader status by rebooting to bootloader and typing "fastboot oem device-info" (without quotes), if it still locked, then type "fastboot oem unlock-go" (without quotes).
After (and only then) bootloader will be unlocked you can flash custom recovery by one of following ways: by QFIL, selecting rawprogram_twrp.xml or bootloader (fastboot flash recovery recovery_twrp.img).
When recovery is flashed, you can get into it by holding Volume UP + Volume DOWN keys while booting or using "adb reboot recovery" console command (without quotes).
Advanced flash unlocked bootloader & recovery:
BootLoader unlock:
Download file: emmc_appsboot.zip
Unzip.
Add listed files from QFIL-ROM to the same folder:
prog_emmc_firehose_8936.mbn
gpt_main0.bin
gpt_backup0.bin
rawprogram0.xml
patch0.xml
Run rawprogram0-fix.bat
Flash using QFIL, by selecting rawprogram0_aboot.xml.
Sometimes you need to do extra staff:
Open developers options and turn on:
ОЕМ unlock
USB debugging
Download: unlock-bl.zip
Unzip.
Plug USB cable and run unlock-bl.bat
wait until "Ready!" or the window disapire
Ready!
Custom recovery (TWRP):
Method one, fastboot:
Download: TWRP-FB.ZIP
Unzip.
Run rec-inst.bat
Method two adb(Root needed):
Download: TWRP.ZIP
Unzip.
Run rec-inst.bat
Root (SuperSU):
If you suscesfully unlocked bootloader and flashed recovery then you can:
download latest SuperSU
Put it to you sdcard (do not unpack it!)
Reboot to recovery and install ZIP.
Region:
To find out which region is set dial ####5993# or ####59930# using stock dialer
To change region:
Put easyimage.zip to root of SDCard
Dial ####682# using stock dialer
To get back to stock (for updating, etc.):
Flash stock ROM with QFIL.
You can use s272 listed above, but you also need to download, unzip and change rawprogram0.xml file before flashing to get stock recovery!

You can't install root on 6.0 without TWRP, but if you don't need it, woy also don't need to unlock BL, so you cat just flash ctock ROM.

You don't need to do any backup. But if you come to 6.0 from 5.1, you better do!
I flashed ROM everything went good, next thing I flash twrp, works, installed supersu and now I'm left with a phone without OS. I cannot get into download mode using the volume up + usb method and also I can get into the recovery. What can I do?
EDIT: After about 26 hours of just non-stop searching I finally got it flashed again.It was a painful experience but if somebody wipes the /system partition, don't hesistate to pm to help you come back on track.

You are not unlocking bootloader, you just flashing already unlocked one. So you can just flash it back!
I must say that after Marshmallow update, Vibe P1 is the best smartphone I had ever
Smooth working, great battery life, no problems at all.

You need to go back to full stock, it's the only way to get OTA.
Please look at "To get back to stock (for updating, etc.):" at first post (just updated it)!
Hello guys. Before you proceed, I'll let you know that I don't own this device. Theoretically these steps should work.
1. Unlock bootloader
Go to settings>about, tap build number 7 times. This enables developer options. Here, select allow OEM unlock and USB debugging. Reboot in fastboot mode (power+vol down). Then go to this site
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
And follow the instructions. They are pretty straightforward.
2. Install TWRP
Go to
http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/22535-moto-m-kastomnoe-rekaveri-twrp-otklyuchenie-shifrovaniya/
And download TWRP_Moto_M.img and boot_M_S124.img
In fastboot mode type fastboot flash boot <the name of the latter file image, just drag it into the CMD window from adb and fastboot folder> then type fastboot flash recovery <TWRP file>
Then type fastboot boot <TWRP file> and voila, you are booted in custom recovery.
IMPORTANT: FOR ALL THAT IS GOOD AND FAIR, MAKE A BACKUP OF EVERY FOLDER. IF YOU MESS UP SOMEWHERE, I WON'T BE ABLE TO HELP YOU!!
Now you may proceed to rooting procedures.
Tell me if this works. And before asking any questions in this thread, use the DAMN INTERNET; Google or Bing or Yahoo, whatever floats your boat

If you are unsure of any step, and Google does not help, ask it in this thread and wait for my reply

The wrong way to go.
Follow these steps:
In Windows command prompt write adb reboot bootloader. The device will reboot into fastboot.
The following command - fastboot oem unlock. You will be prompted on the phone screen, volume up to confirm, down to refuse. Who decided to change his mind
I waited a few seconds and at the command prompt, I got the answer - OK.
Disconnect the cable from the phone and hold the power button reboot the phone and put aside. He will restart another 2 times, will go to the drain recovery and erase all data from your phone. Therefore, I recommend to make a backup.
You just have to wait to boot the phone. approximately 5-7 minutes.
The bootloader is unlocked.

That's just the point, that you give the wrong information.
You give a link to the unlocking of MOTO devices on the Qualcomm processor, and that method is not suitable for MTK.

Hi guys,
I have started this thread so that you guys can root your moto M XT_1663_S356 andriod (7.0)
First of all i'm not responsible if your phone bricks burns or dies.
A big thanks to VVizard from lenovo RU forum with out him, it was not possible.
Thanks to Chainfire for the SuperSu.zip
To check Build number go to Settings -> About Phone-> Build number
Note -
1 - This only works for Moto M which is having build number XT1663_S356_170621_ROW. If you are on any other build number then please don't proceed.
2 - All the files are attached
3 - Install all the Motoral drivers and Minimal and adb folder.
4 - Following link contains all files needed to root the phone.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3eDb0dWRU-uUjk4ZS1tdFpRR1U/view?usp=sharing
Rooting Moto M phone is divided into 3 Parts
1) Unlocking BootLoader
2) Flashing TWRP
3) Flashing SuperSu.zip
unlocking the bootloader
Note - This will wipe out all the data hence take a backup before unlocking boot loader
1 - First of all enable the Developer Option, To Enable the Developer Option, Go to your Settings -> About Phone-> Now Tap on the Build Number 7-8 Times until you see a toast message “Developer option enabled"
2 - Go back to settings -> Now you need to enable the OEM Unlock by going to Settings -> Developer Option and Enable OEM Unlock and USB Debugging
3 - Download and Extract the Downloaded ADB fastboot Zip file on your PC
4 - Now connect your phone to Computer using USB Cable.
5 - When you connect your Phone to Computer, please wait until all the drivers get installed.
6 - In your ADB fastboot folder open a command prompt window by pressing Shift Key + Right Mouse Click
7 - Now type the command in your command window

Method Issues
Bro, I have faced a few problems since I have started
i) When I type in adb devices it shows my phone but unauthorized
so I have to allow it as you said but only after a reboot and doing the process again will it show authorized
ii) after entering adb reboot bootloader it doesnt show bootloader locked but straight up fastboot mode
iii) then when i enter fastboot oem unlock it shows asks me if I want to unlock, I press on volume up. Then it again asks me some other thing and I hold the volume up down and power together. Next I reboot into my phone. All data erased. I setup it again.
Now, does this mean my bootloader is unlocked? When I reboot it shows something on the middle right- unlocked..
So does this mean I continue and install twrp now? or what?

1 - It doen't matter if its authorized or not..
2 - yes! thats correct it directly takes you to fastboot mode it use to show bootloader locked for old Moto phones).I 'll make changes in the thread.
Yes! your bootloader is unlocked successfully..

Thanks for your help Y_Y
Hey bro, I am not about to install the recovery.
Before this may I ask why we need to flash boot_XT1663_356.img ?
Also, isn't this command wrong? fastboot flash boot boot_XT1663_356.img
It should be fastboot flash boot boot_XT1663_356.img
Without the boot twice ryt?
Also, will the data be erased after installing TWRP recovery or not? If not, will it be erased after installing the SuperSU?

1 - It is the Image file which is specifically build for S356 (build number) hence it is necessary to flash it before flashing TWRP. If you don't flash boot image then you might face boot loop issues and hard brick your phone.
2 - The correct command is 'fastboot flash boot boot_XT1663_356.img' . the first boot is to recognize cmd that we are flashing a boot image and the second boot is the name of image file.
3 - Flashing TWRP and Super SU won't erase your data.

Hi there,
After I unlocked the bootloader, pushed the twrp recovery successfully, got stuck in the recovery mod each time I reboot the phone so can't boot the stock rom. Done wipe factory reset and format data and still nothing changed. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance OP
Edit: Just solved issue by flashing stock firmware

Well, yes ... The new boot.img for removing encryption. Especially for post-OTA updating to XT1663_S364_170803_ROW.

Does anyone know how to keep your Moto M rooted even after updating to the new security update of 7.0? Do we just flash the new .img file or what? Kinda newb here
Here is a quick how-to guide to flash LineageOS 19.0 to the A51
Disclaimer: I am not the maintainer of any of the files I link to here. I just wanted to share my experience to make the process of Flashing los19 to the a51 easier for others.
Prerequisites:
1. Unlocked Bootloader
This step is crucial. You need to unlock the bootloader of the A51 before trying any of this. If not, you are likely to brick your device.1.1. Unlock developer mode by standard procedure: Settings > Info > Tab 7 times on build number1.2. Enable USB debugging in Developer Options1.3. Enable OEM unlocking in Developer Options -> To see OEM unlock option I needed to connect to my WIFI, then set the phone date manually to March 7th 2019. Only then the OEM unlock option became visible in Developer Options. Yes, this is super dumb and inconvenient...1.4 After triggering OEM unlock option shutdown your phone.1.5 Enter Download mode by: Pressing Volume+ and Volume - while at the same time plugging in the USB cable that is already in your PC.1.6. To finally unlock bootloader, you will see a green screen on which you need to press Vol + for some time. THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. It will also erase all data on your phone!1.7 After reboot repeat steps 1.1. - 1.5. again. This time you can actually enter download mode by pressing Vol + shortly on the green screen.
2. Flash Twrp
You can now flash TWRP via Odin. The TWRP img I used is here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/0h14t0263oujhna/TWRP-11-3.6.1-a51-20220321-1406-hotfix.tar/file. I flashed it as AP. Make sure to uncheck Auto reboot before flashing.When flashing is complete hold Vol - and Power until reboot.Immediately when rebooting hold Vol + and Power until Samsung logo appears, then let Power go but hold Vol + to enter TWRP.
3. Actual Flashing:
3.1. Necessary Files:Make sure to load all files necessary to your SD before flashing:ChonDoe_Flasher, Disable_Dm_Verity, Multidisabler, LOS-Imagefile, Magisk(optional)As for the LOS Image I used this file here, which already includes gapps:lineage-19.0-20220211-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bgS-vndklite.imgIf you don't want gapps pick an image that says "BvS" instead of "bgs"3.2. You need to move your LOS-Image to the same folder as ChonDoe_Flasher and rename the file to "system.img"
3.3 Flashing Sequence:
In TWRP Follow this sequence:
3.3.1. Wipe data, dalvik, cache3.3.2. flash disable_dm_verity3.3.3. flash multidisabler3.3.4. Wipe internal storage (Backup might be advisable, if you didn't format data anyways)3.3.5. reboot recovery3.3.6. flash chondone with lineage-19.0-20220211-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bgS-vndklite.img in the same folder renamed to system.mg3.3.7. Wipe data3.3.8. Reboot
That should be it. First startup takes some time, your phone should boot to LOS 19.
4. Anger Management
If you softbrick your device you can try to go back to stock rom by accessing download mode and flashing it via Odin. Will take some fiddling around with the button combinations.
If you hardbrick your device don't hold me responsible and good luck to you!
Thanks to
Kyau Sana, Vadim Kupriyanov, Knoyan GTR-X and Sara Lins and other, from the telegram-group, who helped me figure out the process.

Lineage 19 flash worked but after flashing my TWRP recovery bootloops (flashing twrp logo).
TWRP that loops is twrp-a51-3.5.0_10-1_ianmacd.
Do you have a working TWRP for this version of Lineage ?
Tried TWRP v3.6.1 A51 tree but it doesn't work and boots into download mode with "DT Entry not found / DT Load Failed / VB Meta sign errors"

Nope TWRP does not work. When using the one you linked (as all other 3.6.1 ones) it just jumps back to download mode with DT Entry not found & VBMeta not signed errors.
ALL sensors ok ?
Fingerprint ok ? In this ROM

Sorry to hear mate. Unfortunately I cannot hell you solve this issue. There is a telegram channel for custom roms on the A51 with many motivated people. One of them might have the answer you need!
See: https://t.me/samsunga51
If you find it, please post it, so others can profit from it. With your agreement I would also like to add info about the solution - should you find it - to my initial post.

Don't know about fingerprint as I do not want to provide biometric data to my phone. Maybe someone else using the ROM can answer this; Or you, if you decide to flash it post your results.
Apart from that I have not had any problems with the ROM apart from the following:
-The resulotion of the native lineage camera app is not satisfactory. When I find an app that works better, I'll let you know.
- Restarting the phone after empty battery requires a soft reset sometimes (power+vol -)
-> A solution to this problem might be given in this post. Will try it later.
Thank you, @DerTopher , but unfortunately the link to your LOS file does not work any more. How do I get the file now?
THIS GUIDE ONLY WORKS ON ANDROID 12!!!

I have concluded all my experiments, and now I can confirm that the "twrp-a51-3.5.0_10-1_ianmacd.tar" on this website only works for Android 10 as instructed by Admin. This does not for Android 11. For Android 11 you have to flash a different file called "Twrp+vbmeta_A11.tar".
