New to Maxx, confused about root.

Could anyone point me in the right direction here? I consider myself 'somewhat' technologically inclined, I have rooted a few devices before but none were this complicated. I am running 4.4, 19.5.3, SU2-3.

Should I upgrade/change anything, or keep with the current version(s)? What is the easiest, most stable method to obtain root and an unlocked bootloader (if possible)?
One thing to note, my main absolute need for root is WiFi tether, anything else is just a plus.
Thanks in advance for any help, and my apologies for posting such a general question.

Try sunshine app

That's what I was thinking but, again, seems like there are so many variables when it comes to the maxx and obtaining root. Is there a particular starting point you can link me to? Would be much appreciated (I have not used sunshine app before).

Start with sunshine and just Google search for bootloader unlock and sunshine

What sunscape said. Sunshine will unlock your boot loader and you will not have to worry about any of the variables.

Here is the link. Sunshine does need root to run but I believe it should be able to get temp root. Download it and run it. If it can gain root it will tell you and ask for $20. If not it will simply fail. If it cant get root, look up slapmymoto which will give you root access. Word of warning unlocking your boot loader voids the warranty.

Thanks chuck. That was one of the things that was throwing me. Will slapmymoto give me perm root, or is it temp? Basically, what do I need to do, if possible, to obtain perm root?

Once you get unlocked via Sunshine, you can install TWRP and get perm root.

Sweet. So, as I understand as of now, I should try sunshine app alone first, if that does not work I should try slapmymoto in order to apply the sunshine unlock. Once that is successful, install twrp, and move forward. Is this correct?

Slapmymoto is a way to perm root but I'm not sure if it will work for you or not. It has been awhile since I used it and what versions it works for. Try downloading sunshine and run it. It will try and get temp root (which is all it needs) to unlock your boot loader. Once your boot loader is unlocked, you can flash twrp recovery(which installs perm root) and never have to worry about losing root again.

Nice. Thanks again, I've been looking at these threads for a couple days and haven't come to a conclusion as to what needed be done.
I know this is a lazy question but, will I need a pc for this at any point? Just wondering, as I don't have access to one on hand.

No and yes.
On your phone:
click on the link for sunshine, scroll to the bottom and download the latest version. Once it downloads, run it and agree to the permissions. It will try and gain root access. If it does, then it will run some test and see if it can unlock you boot loader. If it can, it will ask for some money(well worth it in my opinion). Pay the money and it will unlock your boot loader which will allow you to flash anything you want on your phone.
Now the computer comes in.
Download twrp on your pc.. (Just search this forum for the right version) and flash it with adb in fastboot. (Lots of instructions on this as well). Once it's done, reboot into recovery and when you exit twrp recovery it will ask it you want to install superuser(aka root), tell it yes.
I don't think there is a method for rooting your phone with out a PC.
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Free mobile app

Perfect. Sounds easy enough.
The reason I asked about the pc, I did not have to use one to root my SG3 but, I figured since this particular phone has given the development such difficulty, they likely hadn't worked it all into process that did not require a pc.
Much gratitude, sir. I will be on this asap. I just got the phone in today, ordered from swappa, and am looking forward to moving my line from that SG3 to this much nicer device. Always did prefer Motorola and I think I made a good choice this time. May end up trying a work around to use my upgrade (unlimited on verizon) to get a Turbo in the near future but I am weary of mucking up my UDP.
Anyways, I'll report back with results as they come.

Question, would it be possible to ins TWRP via their app, instead of the fastboot method? I know that the app install requires root but, I am able to gain temp root via sunshine before I bought the license and was able to run and use root apps such as titanium backup and rom toolbox. That being so, would the twrp app work if I ran the sunshine temp root first? How risky is this or are there any known complications from this being tried before.
Bottom line, I am trying to get around having to use a pc as I do not have quick access to one.

did you unlock your bootloader via sunshine already?

Yes

Just looked in my app drawer, sunshine app is gone. Does this mean I will not be able to run the 'tests', and acquire temp root via their app, since I have already unlocked?

OK, I reinstalled the sunshine app, ran the test and was told it had gained temp root. However, I was unable to run titanium backup like I was before I unlocked. So, I guess that I maybe should have tried that route before hand. Back to the pc, fastboot method. I have a few questions, as I was at the library earlier but had to leave before I was able to complete the twrp install.
1. Do I need to download and install any drivers if the PC is already able to read my device?
2. Where do I enter the necessary commands on the PC, such as:
From your computer, open a command prompt and type:
adb reboot bootloader
I was a bit rushed and didn't get the time to look over all skd tools, maybe I was supposed to enter the command from there? I would like to get a general idea of how these tools work, or how I am supposed to use them, before I go back to the library so I am not trying to figure all this out while I am in there.
ETA: found most of my answers in post #93 here - http://forums.androidcentral.com/dr...oid-maxx-bootloader-unlocked-root-away-4.html

OK, the last time I had tried to run titanium backup (to confirm root), it wouldn't recognize the root. This apparently was because I had already opened the app and had not closed it. Realized my mistake, closed the app, reopened with root access.
So, I downloaded the TWRP app from Google play, and got so far as completing the download for the install but, did not have the stones to continue further without knowing this has or has not been tried before.
1. Is it safe?
2. I had downloaded the latest version listed within the TWRP app for the motor x (ghost), would this version work?

Hi, \How the heck do you root a Zte avid plus Z828?

How do you root a z828 zte avid plus phone metro pcs?????

It's different than the Avid 4G. You can still get into the FTM, but I'm guessing either the script or the security is different. Mine is on Android 5.1.1 MetroPCS and I've been searching everywhere to no avail. Some help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. :cyclops:

Also desperately looking for a way to root the device. I bought it as a cheap replacement when my last phone was broken, and so far I've enjoyed the phone. This is one major pitfall, though. Ive tried plenty of rooting apps and methods, and I'm willing to test and play with more. Any help is greatly appreciated and I'm offering any assistance I can. Let's find a way to crack this thing.

hi you guys i bought the avid plus from somebody yesterday for $50 and it turned out that the phone is messed up bad it wont boot and when it does it just turns off and its hard to get to go back on, is there anyway you guys can send me a copy of a backup of your phone system files, ive been looking everywhere online for countless hours for any kind of stock file and theres none at all so please i beg you send me a link or email me a few of the main required files please my email is [email protected] thank you so much for helping

ZTE Open allows you to reinstall and recover all your system files, but you need a PC and the software/directions. Google "ZTE open" z828 and you should be able to find the info you need. :cyclops:

not yet......kingroot has a request form when you download it on your phone. As of now, there is about 5000 requests and was last seen at queue list 342 and it increase every day. my guesstimate is maybe by the end of July there will be a root program

End of July for sneaky Chinese info-thief rooting... Should be at about Android 9.2 by then. Never again owning a ZTE unless is a time machine and/ or comes with a Gremlin.

I don't know how successful you can be but if you go to kingoroot.com and try you may have a chance.
Here is what I did, first I downloaded the program for the pc, then attempted to root the device. When it failed, I saved the log and emailed them. After about a week I tried again. By this time I was fooling around with the cable, restarting phone, unplugging the cable and constantly restarted the kingoroot app, then finally after an hour of doing this the root worked!!!
Give it a shot, it may be worth it!!!

I have the same problem too, the reason why many rooting apps failed because the Z828 is not yet rootable. But don't worry, it will be in the future.. just don't know when.

Can't use it for anything.

I got boot up and running!
Step 1: DOWNLOAD

ADB Shell (guide and download) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118
kingo root - https://www.kingoapp.com/android-root/download.htm
Step 2: Command Prompt with ADB
run the CMD with admistrator privileges and use the following commands -

adb reboot disemmcwp
[Your device will now reboot with some extra write permissions]
install and run KINGO ROOT! (Yes, it's kingO root, not King) on your pc.
SHAABAAMMMM!!!!
Now we need a custom recovery for it!
PS: o/! Dont try link2sd , because it #$&*#&(*@^*$ your apks, and you can't find it in the 2nd partition.

it says that the device is offline what do i do?

It does work as stated above. Nice job, I've been trying to do this for a while now. I didnt know there was a command to make the phone reboot with more permissions. Very nice!

Seems to not work for me. I get it to connect and everything, but KingoRoot fails to keep going or it finishes at 100% and tells me that it failed to install Root.
Nevermind, I had to reboot my PC.

I'm not sure this is a true root. And how do I remove kingosu and replace with SuperSU? Super sume did not work as kingosu refused to give it a permission.

Yeah its a false root. Had to wipe and factory reset.

okay. upon third try it rooted! and even root explore r/w worked!
however i deleted the metro apps and tried to install supersu because i hear nasty comms going on between kingouser and chinra.
well i'm bricked now. lol.
wont boot past powered by android splash. possibly because i deleted the MYMETRO folder in system/app.
zte and metro dont provide the update.zip so i cant recover.
any ideas? and dont tell me go to metro because they wont help.

Same problem now bricked can only open recovery

Hello guys. Its been a few days since i joined this wonderful forums. After going through the threads and posts created by our fellow users, i found out that atleast 30%-40% of the users face rooting issues or many are unaware of how the rooting process goes about for their device. Some brick their phones while rooting and then come panicking asking for help. Now you don't need to worry guys because in this thread i have covered all the available rooting methods with and without PC (However if i have missed anything please do mention in your posts ). If one method fails to work then you can always try the other. Further this thread also includes the general and common methods of recovering a soft-bricked phone or a phone which entered a bootloop while rooting.
Rooting with PC requires you to either flash a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM on your phone and then boot into the recovery and flash your root.zip file (or) by simply connecting your phone to your PC and let the rooting program do everything for you in one click or maybe two :fingers-crossed: . Rooting without PC is a simple android app that roots your phone in a click.
NOTE:
1) ALWAYS TAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR FILES, SMS, CALL LOGS ETC.
2) YOU NEED AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER FOR ANY FLASHING! SOME GUYS SIMPLY ROOT WITHOUT UNLOCKING THEIR DEVICE BOOTLOADER. SO IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG NOTHING CAN BE DONE.
3) YOU CAN TRY WHICH EVER METHOD YOU WANT TO ROOT YOUR DEVICE BUT I WILL ALWAYS RECOMMEND YOU TO FIRST TRY THE ANDROID ROOTING APPS FOR YOUR PHONE BEFORE GOING TO PC STAGE.
Advantages of Rooting:​
Rooting your android mobile has several advantages but here i have listed some of the best advantages, you will get after rooting your phone.
1) Access all files of your mobile which are present in the root directory of your storage or else by giving root permissions, you can Edit or Delete any system file.
2) Increase your mobile performance by over clocking, by changing the frequency of CPU using 3rd party applications or by simply installing a custom kernel already developed for your device.
3) Increase battery life by under clocking CPU of your device.
4) Installing Custom ROMS which will change the entire looks as well as performance of your device.
5) Internal Memory can be increased which means more room for your apps.
6) Finally, Truly Own your Device, Make it appear in the way you want.
Disadvantages of rooting:​
1) Your phone might hard brick. The process of rooting android mobile is very risky and has to be carried out with extreme caution. Any wrong step in rooting can cause your phone to hard-brick.
2) There may be data loss while rooting your mobile. However this is only with those phones which require their bootloader to be unlocked.
3) Warranty of your android mobile can be lost when you root it. This is one of main reason why most decide to keep their android phone unrooted as they cannot take risks with warranty of their mobiles but you can still unroot anytime to get your warranty back as some apps listed below provides unroot. For samsung users, your knox warranty will get triggered if you do any sort of flashing. Using the mobile rooting applications is quite safe if you dont want to destroy your warranty.

If not and you used some other method to root then send me the link so that i can update this thread. To check whether you have root access or not download rootchecker app from here http://www1.zippyshare.com/v/qghHr9UD/file.html
ROOTING USING TWRP/CWM/PHILZ TOUCH​1) Download the custom recovery for your device. It will be either recovery.tar.md5 for samsung users or recovery.img for fastboot users.
2) Flash with ODIN or fastboot.
Fastboot command used:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery[COLOR="Red"] recovery.img[/COLOR]
Please note your recovery must be in the same directory of fastboot. recovery.img is the name of your custom recovery.img file.
3) Now you have a working recovery installed on your device. Next step is to download the flashable rooting zip file. I will recommend SuperSu always. Download from supersu.zip from https://download.chainfire.eu/1001/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.78-20160905010000.zip
4) Navigate to the location where you have downloaded the .zip file and flash via recovery.
HOW TO RECOVER YOUR BRICKED DEVICE (COMMON PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS)
​What Is Bricked Android Phone and Tablet
Before getting to the guide of unbricking your Android phone and tablet, try to know the 2 types of Android brick device, soft bricked one and hard bricked one.
Soft bricked device - It can still boot into recovery mode or be stuck on the logo. And you have big chance to unbrick it just by flashing a stock ROM or flashing a recovery file.
Hard bricked device - Just like it's name, your device is dead. It behaves like a real brick. You can have no operation on pressing the power button. Thus hard bricked devices cannot be recovered as they are just dead.
If your device is soft-bricked, it may:
1) Keeps Rebooting;
2) Be unable to boot;
3) Boots Straight Into Recovery;
4) Boots Straight Into its Bootloader;
5) Freeze at the start up screen;
BOOTLOOP FIX:
Your device is stuck in boot loop, that is your device keeps rebooting when you are flashing a new ROM and you forgot to wipe all the data of the previous ROM, and your device boots every time with some error and hence will keep rebooting. I would always try the classical method of removing the battery for a few seconds, then put it back in, enter recovery, clear cache and reboot. It always worked for me. In case it doesnt work for you then follow these steps:
Go to recovery mode – press volume up + home screen button + power button does it.
Scroll down to “Advanced”.
Choose “Wipe Dalvik Cache” option.
Return to the main screen.
Choose “Wipe Cache Partition”.
Choose “Wipe Data / Factory Reset” to delete all your settings and apps, using the correct ROM.
Reboot your device.:good:
RECOVERY BOOTLOOP FIX:
OPTION 1: I have taken a samsung device into consideration here. For others you have to use fastboot for flashing the respective files.
Run Odin using an administrator account on your Windows PC.
Switch off your device, go to download mode (volume plus + home screen button + power button ), then press volume up to continue and connect to your PC. When Odin recognizes your device, click PDA option and navigate to the recovery.tar file where you have downloaded it. Select recovery file and hit START. The flashing process will complete and Odin will show a PASS button with green background, your device will be rebooted.
OPTION 2:
If the above method doesn't solve your problem then you have no option but to flash the official stock firmware either using odin or fastboot which may result in apps and data loss in some cases.
BOOTS STRAIGHT INTO ITS BOOTLOADER; FREEZE AT START UP SCREEN FIX:
Simply flash the stock firmware.
NOT BOOTING:
If you can enter download mode or fastboot mode then you are good to go. Simply flash the firmware. If it doesn't boot at all then i am sorry, you have hard bricked your device.
I hope my thread has helped you out. I would recommend you to try KIngRoot first (both PC and W/O PC).
Regards.

Hi, I've been active on the XDA forums for a while, and spend most of my time in the forums for my samsung galaxy note 101" 2014 smp600. This puppy has been flashed, formatted, bricked and fubarred many times. I'm currently running the Orion build of Marshmallow from this site. I recently
got the same model for my wife which has OEM upgrades to Android 5.11
Both of these tabs need work which my usual forums won't provide support, (or a response)for. I need to A: change my bootloader to the KK version in order to comply with the requirements of a Nougat ROM (which was unstable with my current bootloader. Funny that when I asked about identifying a bootloader, all I got was a snippy reply that the bootloader is "named" the same as the droid version it came with??? All I know is that I NEED to getthis bootloader onto my sp600. HEREIN lies my concern: I HAVE ODIN setup on a laptop, with CFautoroot, and the Windows drivers, etc. I DID work on my tab a few years ago. But I do NOT, in any way TRUST said setup to run on either of the sp600 I have.
So, I am NOT a noob, I have experience flashing almost anything on several devices. THIS is MY question: CAN I download and flash a KK bootloader WITHOUT ODIN or a pc??? And are ANY of the one-touch-root apps that you THANKFULLY wrote about usable and SAFE to use for such things? I have no experince with these and it is damn hard to find info on them anywhere. I just need to know about the bootloader and basic root access setup without a pc. I saw several suggestions to use King root and then an app to removed and repkace it with SuperSU for security.
Please give me a direction of some kind. All is appreciated info. ODIN and WINDOWS SUCK!! ;-DeaNoD

Yes if u are on linux, use hiemdall ..its a tool used for flashing firmwares and an alternative to odin ( i have no idea on how to use that as i never used it) ...i would suggest u to use kingroot ... its a good option as they can root almost all devices... then flash a custom recovery using flashify app ... whole process takes place without a pc as u wanted

Hi, I have a Asus Zenfone Go ZB452KG
And Im trying to root it but I only see guides to the Go ZC500TG/Z00VD (using the search of the forum and around internet).
I even found a person with my same question but the link they gave didnt contained info for the ZB452KG but for the ZC500TG.
I found a couple of websites around internet but they seem suspicious, someone have the same phone and knew how to do it ? Or someone else know where i can find a trustfull root way ?
Thanks

Thanks for the info. From what l've read about Kingroot is that it installssome pretty dicey "extras". What have you heard about the SuperSU Me app? It is supposed to remove Kingroot and replace it with SuperSU. I am now reading up on flashify to learn more of how it works. Any further attempts to use ODIN are off the table for me. I'm surprised that someone like chainfire of ssu fame hasn't come up with something better than running ODIN on Winblows. Thanks ;-Deano

Made one last valiant effort to run Odin or Heimdall on my laptop. Then I found that EVERY download of any .rar files related to their use were corrupted. So that put the final nail in the coffin for ALL PC based solutions in this case. As for chainfire, IIRC he was involved with Odin lite which then became Flashfire. I could find no further suggestions that indicated FlashFire could be used to root a device PC -Free. I have just tried several different CM 14 versions n my 600 over the past day or so. After much grief and a close bricking, I landed back on CM 13 Liquid Dark. Will not likely try CM 14 again untilI can fix my LP bootloader probs. Thanks for the input, ;-DeanoD

Thanks king, i have been searching for root without pc for my micromax tab for a long time, but couldn't find successful methods.
Finally rooted with Kingoroot app.
Now trying to get a custom recovery for it. But i looked in flashify, my device wasnt listed there in flash twrp/cwm list, which recovery should i download or install? I need it to remove kingoroot apps and kingo superuser and flash supersu.
Tried using the search but couldnt find anything on my device - micromax p680.

with this New ROOT.BAT:
Code:
**EDIT: @jrkruse on 5/29/17 has created a new ROOT.BAT including SuperSU v2.82, it has been outlined in this post #480 of his custom rom thread. As always, please take a moment to hit the thanks button! Without the work of these amazing dev's we would NOT have root PERIOD! It is free for you, and mean's a lot to everyone involved in bringing these releases to you the public!!!
Here is latest root zip with SuperSU 2.82 (5/29/2017)
Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V1.zip
I let the phone reboot and when I open SuperSU, I receive the error "SU Binary Occupied". This happened the absolute very first time I attempted to root the phone, nothing has ever been done to the phone, it was 100% stock. I then unrooted the phone with the unroot.bat. I have been getting device disconnects when running the root.bat. My phone is connected and it is not actually disconnecting as far as I can see. I am also getting a "Protocol Error" occasionally when the script is attempting to install SuperSU. I can run the command by hand and it installs no problem, it only errors out with the script. I then use the unroot.bat and start over which the script will run fine again. The apps uninstall when the unroot.bat runs and they then re-install when the root.bat runs.
I have yet been able to root this phone successfully.
I did get the error to not show at one point after I ran the unroot.bat. I installed SuperSU v2.79 via adb cmd prompt, and then opened the app. It then gave me the SU binary needs to be updated error, which it fails at doing.
I really do not want to reset the phone as I'm not even sure that would solve anything as it didn't work the first time from stock.
I have read that there is TWRP working for the S7 but i cant tell if it's for the US version or not, I didn't look into it very deeply.
Does anyone have any advice?

Well, bit the bullet and re-flashed my phone using QH7 odin files and attempted root again. This time it has worked successfully!
It appears that there may have been something that installed funny when the upgrade to Nougat occurred as my reboot time is about 20 seconds now, compared to the 60 seconds it took previously.
Guess if you are getting the same problems when you've never rooted before, a re-flash may result in these issues resolving themselves.

The TWRP is not for S7 T-mobile sm-g930t, becouse it has the bootloader locked, and no way to unlock it.

Somebody found a way to unlock bootloader on verizon s7, can it waork also with a t-mobile version???
Thanks

There's a lot of people who get confused with carrier unlocks and bootloader unlocks. If you know what you are talking about and aren't confused please share a link or pictures.

Was this ever resolved? I'm having the exact same problem. Even tried flashing back to prior firmware. No success.

Yes, this was resolved by flashing back to stock and attempting root again through the exact same method.

I'm going to attempt to get magisk up and running on my brand new Moto Edge (berlna), and maybe twrp if i can manage the device port and build. i will document the trial and error drama here, success or failure. wish me luck

Root holds works well...
Any news from anybody on TWRP for "Berlna"?
I have tried TWRP for "Racer"and other variants...
She no work for this "girl" ..
But it's new and I just thought I'd post the question regardless thanks everybody for your time!

XT2141-2 Berlina here. How did you unlock bootloader before flashing patched boot.img? Thanks.
NVM its the standard procedure for moto phones, sorry!

yeah, i haven't had time to dig into TWRP for myself, but i'd love to. let me know if someone manages it before me please!

Would you be able to post a short guide on how you accomplished this root without using TWRP for the Berlna/where you found the files to patch with Magisk? I recently picked up this phone and would love to root it myself, but any tutorials I've found use TWRP to install Magisk on the phone.
Thanks!

It is exactly the same process for patching any other device with an unlocked bootloader without using TWRP.
1) Download device image from Motorola,
2) Extract boot.img from firmware file,
3) Use another device with Magisk to patch the extracted boot.img file within the Magisk App,
4) Unlock the bootloader on the device to be flashed,
5) Flash modified boot.img file in Fastboot mode.

For a long time i thought i was the only edge 2021 owner! Nice seeing you guys here and thanks for your efforts.

Just out of curiosity, can anyone verify that tap to pay, secured apps(banking mostly) and all the normal OS functions will continue to work as usual? I haven't had a rooted phone in ages, I might see what's changed since.

tap to pay i only figured out last night. forgive me for being sleep deprived and rambling a bit, i ended up pulling an all nighter o_0

i know this list of stuff installed resulted in my phone working with magisk, riru, lsposed, viper and gravitybox AND passes the whole shebang regarding safety net while they're running.. after clearing the user data and cache to the play store app, the play store shows my device is certified, as well.

you need (some subset of the following, i haven't completely nailed down what the critical minimum is, but i know this combo is working for me.):
1. Magisk, with the following modules:
Magisk Hide Props Config
in the thread here on XDA for the module above, there is a reference to "safetynet-fix-2.1.3.zip" in one of the replies, (use search in the thread) follow the link, you need that.
EDIT: see here: https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-R.../master/README.md#force-basic-key-attestation
you also need Riru along with it's modules:
Sui
(i installed this, but dunno if necessary or not) enhanced mode for storage isolation (as well as the companion app "storage isolation" on the author of Riru's site in the downloads section
(i installed this, but dunno if necessary or not) IFW-Enhance

(i installed this, but dunno if necessary or not) Clipboard Whitelist
(i installed this, but dunno if necessary or not) LSPosed 1.6.5
some time around 5am the above ensemble got my berlna to pass safetynet basic and cts profile, and was able to add a card to the gpay app
bonus time: i was also able to get the magisk module for installing Viper4AndroidFX working (hint, use "legacy mode" in the settings) as well as the xPosed mod GravityBox[R] (which also works for me, atleast in rearranging the QS tile layout <3 )
sadly, my notes died when there was a power outage this morning so i will need to review my work if you want the details, but here's some screen shots. i've included what might be superfluous hides from within Sui, but this is what is currently working as i sip this pepsi i just bought with my phone.

Finally came back to this thread, got sidetracked on wanting to root my phone for a bit. But I got it rooted successfully, am using CF.lumen for a real blue light filter experience that isn't an overlay, and am very happy!
Thanks everyone for the help

I am not sure should I root it.
The main concern is Widevine L1.
I rooted many Motorola phones and I don't think this one is an exception

I've been having an tiny issue with step 4, unlocking the bootloader. The website is trying to say my phone is not "eligible for unlock". Only a small speed bump as far as I'm concerned, because I know someone here on XDA has a way around this!
Anyone? ..........."crickets*

If your phone is a carrier bought model, then you won't be able to unlock it.
If you bought it unlocked (not from a carrier or a carrier store) and the website won't give you a token, then you'll need to contact Lenovo for support, possibly an exchange.

You're boned. Sorry bud. If you ever want to be able to unlock the bootloader of a device, never buy it directly from the carrier or get a carrier branded device via resale. Most of the time you can order an unlocked device from Motorola directly and use it on verizon, just need to swap the simcard.

I wouldn't say that it cant be unlocked if it is a carrier edition. More accurately, Verizon specifically makes an issue of this. I don't think I've ever had a Verizon phone I could unlock, especially Samsung.
Is your phone paid-in-full? There's a possibility its ineligible because of this.
If rooting isn't an option, you can still accomplish a lot via other means. I've been playing around a lot with the Shizuku API myself.

I was looking for information on TWRP for the XT2141-2 if anyone has any. I'm looking at flashing an Android 12 GSI and wanted TWRP available as a backup if things went south

Thanks, I'm going to be looking into a different phone. Having root is important to me. I had a rooted Note 10 with an unlocked bootloader. I thought i drove away with it laying on to of the bed cover if my truck. So i got the Motorola edge. Hours later i found my Note 10, with a dead battery under a dresser just barly enough to not be able to see it when standing. Just my luck.
At least i have a rooted phone still even if it has no service anymore

Hey bro I have a question, is there a possible way to get the firmware for edge 2021 12 (S1RMS32.48-18-11-2-3) (WITHOUT A PC) I unlocked my bootloader but I can't get the boot.img anywhere so I came here for help.
