Hello dear community;
I want to root my Moto G4 Plus without unlocking bootloder. Is there any way to do it? In my Razr I is there any way to do it without unlocking... and both are Motorola.
Thank you
There isn't a way as far as I know - especially on Nougat, there's enforced kernel security defending against root 'attacks' (ostensibly to protect against malware, but rooting seems to trigger the security measures), and any attempt to root stock on a Moto G4 (without first flashing a custom kernel) may cause your device to bootloop. Currently, the safest way is to unlock your bootloader, then flash a custom kernel to bypass the security.
Thank you (Y)

hi guys. i would like to root my nexus 4 preferably without flashing a custom ROM, but which way is easier and safer: flashing a custom ROM or just rooting with SU without flashing a custom ROM? i am a "beginner" and afraid of bricking my device. could you recommend be the best in your opinion rooting tutorial? i saw some on stickies but apparently they are from 2012. are they still relevant? thanks a lot!
you dont need to flash a custom rom to root your phone. your phone just stock and locked as well? there are couple different methods you can use to root depending on the current state of your phone (ie what version os you are running, locked/unlocked bootloader, etc..)
thank you for the answer
i am using 4.4.4 kitkat downgraded from 5 lollipop, so does it mean that my bootloader is unlocked? or not necessarily?
Hi,
I'm new to this rooting thing, but I'm trying to root so I can tether. How can I root a Moto X Pure already on stock 6.0 from OTA update without unlocking the bootloader. I'm trying to preserve my warranty. Thanks.
You won't lose your hardware warranty
My mxpe is the first phone I haven't unlocked and rooted right away (I've been learning this stuff since my HTC Aria and froyo).
Question: with the new challenges rooting Nougat, would it be wiser to unlock and root now (I'm on stock 6.0) and wait for a flashable zip of Nougat, or wait and take the OTA when it comes and then root?
When I rooted my moto x2 I did so after taking the OTA to 6.0 and it was fine. I understand the systemless root for N is more complex.
Thoughts?
I literally just got one of these. I'm back with Moto after getting pissed off at LG.
I'm thinking I'm going to wait and see. I love the near stock experience with this phone I almost don't need root right now.
Unlocked boot loader wont matter unless lenovo locks the bootloader again without letting you unlock it. The thing about N being harder to root is for phones with locked boot loaders who cant just run full custom recovery...
See, there really isn't a reason not to (TWRP flash a pre-rooted ROM when N comes out if bad comes to worse). Still, N will not make it more/less rootable, so waiting is an option.
Screw it...I just unlocked the BL and rooted then installed one of the tweaked debloat Roms. Lol....didn't take me long to decide.
Hey I have android 7.1.1 and I want to root it but before I have to unlock the bootloader is there a way to root it without unlocking it or can you guys tell me a way thanks

You can get root by using Magisk
