Hello everyone! I didn't want to root my new MOTO G 2015 but I need more storage if I want to install more app's, I saw with root permissions we can transfer full sized app's to the sd, is it true? and how? I've seen already a guide how to root moto g 2015, but know I want to know how to transfer full sized app's to the SD and then i'll decide if I want to root or not.
Do you think I should root? It will be better If i want more storage?
Is it safe? The Lollipop will be automatically installed after the root? I have no need on install other Android OS.
Thank you!
Hey! I can see that you are new here, but rooting your phone isnt gonna delete anything of your data if you search on this forum for Link2sd than you will find a tuturial for how to do that. But if you dont understand any of the words "Brick" or "fastboot" you should do some research first.
success!

Hello HelpMeruth! And thank you for replying my question!
Here's what I already searched this is , i've got alot of information already but the information I got says my phone will be formatted I think. Brick I remember that word a long time ago when the PSP Scene I know it's not android but I remember it, it's like having a non funcional phone, bricked.
Here's the guide I saw: (I can't post links, if you can search on the youtube : "Moto G 3rd Gen(2015) - How to Root - Unlock Bootloader & Custom Recovery") and tell me if that guide will not brick or format my moto g 3
Any chance of getting bricked? It will remove my SIM Service? I have the phone just for a week and the warranty it's 2 here's, If I root the warranty goes out, is it worth rooting?
Thanks for the reply sir and yes i'm really new in the android scene, just came from the iOS one, got mad at iOS
I can confirm that your phone will not be formatted
The word brick means that your phone wont start up.
Its a gamble for everyone to root, so when you are gonna do it try just booting Twrp. That is the safest way to test it.
But strart with unlocking your bootloader thats already a big step for rooting (unlocking bootloader will format your data!)
If you got any questions send me message!
Its your choise to root or not

You do NOT need to unlock bootloader in order to root.
You DO need to unlock your bootloader for TWRP, unless booted temporarily.

What? you have to unlock the bootloader in order to boot/flash twrp.
and with twrp you can root, how do you root with locked bootloader?

You shouldnt be able to root with a locked bootloader, i quote: 'A locked bootloader locks write access to several partitions like the system partition. This is the reason why rooting is not able without unlocked bootloader.' found on this site https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-main-differences-between-Rooting-and-Unlocking-Bootloader
that tool just has a build in fastboot/adb and automate things for you.
(sorry for my bad english)

Btw, If I install CyanogenMod it will reset my moto g firmware? Or install another firmware version? Thanks

Installing cyanogenmod will still keep you on 5.1.1 your device will just be modified (custom tweaks etc..) so if you have to unlock your bootloader it will void any warranties you have. If you don't have one or don't care just make sure to read carefully as you sound relatively new to CM and you don't want to brick your device.

Yes it will be modified to cyanogenmod firmware right? So the firmware updates from MOTO G 3 I had installed will go resetted to the cyanogenmod firmware right?

Correct.
Cm12.1 is just 5.1.1 that's why I said it would.
You may see custom aosp 6.0 ROMs before any real factory builds.

Lets work on getting a dedicated device thread for our phone first. Then find some devs to work on it. I just bought 2. Z988 from Cricket. I have paypal donations available for interested devs to pick this phone up
Any devs out there?
Mostly to root android m we need modified kernel.wait till some devs do it.

Im goin to check into thiss. Some one else was able to gain temp root using dr wondershare data recovery program. So i tried and also was able to gain very temp root. Of coarse kingroot kingo and all the others have failed. Once we get root i will find many more things we can do such as xposed. Twrp if there is a bootloader unlock or bypass. workaround.
Just sucks i need root to nuke recovery or laf partitions to get to fastboot to attempt bl unlock. Have u been sucsessful in getting to fastboot in any way
using various button combos i was able to get into several different "Scenarios" with several different drivers kicking in according to my device manager. i gave up on this phone. If we could somehow install Supersu while we have temp root that would be great. maybe write s script and run it while drhone is doing its thing, i dont know?

New to forum, I have tried everything to root grand x max 2 with no luck. Really like this phone, but would like better rooted!! So I will continue working on this also.
Well sorry to say, but rooting this is way off down the road. Without unlocking the bootloader, and no that oem unlock does not unlock it, its just the first step to unlocking the bootloader. And seeing as that Cricket has been removing fastboot from their newly released phones we have a real struggle on our hands. I also have the lg stylo 2 from Cricket, and not only did they remove fastboot, they removed the entire bootloader. And without fastboot unlock, that bootloader is useless right now, need another way around. But from what i have read, FTM mode does have a form of fastboot built into it if anyone can figure out how to use. Has anyone had the nerve to take it apart and look for the Uart pinouts, if thats on the mother board thats our way in, Uart means instant rom dump and flash, hacker 101....

If you have a locked bootloader or if there is not a TWRP for your model number, the only options that you have are programs on PC and android apps that are used to root devices, programs and apps like the ones that you said you tried already. Try all of them, as many of them that you can find. Maybe one of them will work for you, if not, you are out of luck.

If these instructions work to unlock your bootloader, and, you can find the stock firmware containing the boot image for your device, you can try fastboot flashing a Magisk patched boot.img. Instructions here. YMMV
Hi everyone! my name is leo, my friends call me "grandfather", I am new to this matter and since we are in quarantine I started to investigate and read a lot about what I want to do. I have a samsung galaxy s8 + without root, I do not have a pc, and I want to install a custom recovery on my phone. I read that I can do it using flashify but since I don't have root I am looking for a similar app for non-root phones, if someone can help me in my search I would really appreciate it! I hope everyone is well and I read them! thanks

You will not be able to do this without a PC, not in any kind of way, a PC is an absolute must if this is what you want to do, Period.
If there is a custom recovery for YOUR SPECIFIC MODEL NUMBER, and your bootloader is UNLOCKED, you can use a PC to flash the custom recovery using a program called Odin for Samsung devices.
It is very important that you verify that your bootloader is definitely unlocked, if it is locked when you flash the custom recovery using Odin, it will brick your phone and then it will have to be repaired. The repair might be simple or it might be very complicated, more likely, it almost certainly will not be simple, an easy fix is unlikely.
When you search for a custom recovery for your phone, do a Google search for:
"TWRP for (your specific model number)"
When you do your research to determine whether your bootloader is unlocked, you will have to use your specific model number and your specific android version/firmware build number, these are what will help you determine exactly which bootloader version you have and whether it is locked or can be unlocked.
Some Samsung devices can unlock bootloader by enabling the "OEM unlock" setting in system settings>developer options in your device's system settings. Do some searches to learn how to unlock developer options and how to enable OEM unlock.
Once you have determined that your bootloader is indeed unlocked, or after you have unlocked it(if it can be unlocked) and you have downloaded a TWRP.tar file for your specific model number(if TWRP exists for your model number), then you can flash that .tar file via Odin. Do a Google search for:
"How to flash TWRP via Odin"
That will give you instructions for how to use Odin to flash the TWRP file onto your device.

As in title really.
I've just bought a Samsung Galaxy S10+
and
LG V50 LM-V5000EM
Got them both in front of me right now and I VERY much prefer the V50, but can it be rooted so I can use Titanium backup and system app remover etc?
Just come from the V30 forums...gave that to my mother.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
thanks
Matt
Geez.....this forum in DEAD....off i go to the S10+
This has been up for weejs now and had hundeds of views and not one single person know if it can be rooted????
First of all, your title is wrong relating to model number.
If your bootloader is unlocked, then you should install Magisk app manager. Extract the boot.img from the firmware and have it patched in Magisk. Transfer the patched file to PC and flash it to the V50 boot partition using fastboot. That should make the phone rooted.
If you have problem in extracting the boot.img from the firmware, I can help you.
I am writing this after a cursory search through the V50 forums.
Your device model (LMV500EM) has an official method for unlocking the bootloader: https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev
Once your bootloader is unlocked, you may try to follow the instructions in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...sk-root-using-firehose.4221793/#post-84336553
Namely, you want to try the instructions that follow the "Magisk Root" subtitle. That thread is for V50 models without an official bootloader unlock method, so the first part deals with unofficial bootloader unlock. Since your bootloader can easily be unlocked, you shouldn't follow the guide step-by-step. Rather, AFTER unlocking your bootloader, your goal is to:
1) Get your phone into fastboot
2) Take note of the active slot - _a or _b
3) Back up the corresponding boot partition - either boot_a or boot_b
4) Patch the correct boot image using Magisk Manager
5) Write the patched image back to the correct slot on the device
This is not a detailed step-by-step guide, but rather an outline of what you need to accomplish using the information from the guide I linked above. This is just an observation as I don't have this model, and have never performed the procedure in this order. I used this guide to unlock the bootloader on a Sprint V50 and it worked for me. Therefore, if you attempt this, make sure to back up everything you can. I personally would be very careful attempting this since the risk of failure is fairly high.
I could try writing out more detailed instructions but I find your entitlement to an answer to be off-putting. Either way, I wish you luck with this, if you attempt it.

Saw your reply after I had posted mine. I completely forgot European models have firmware files available. It'd definitely be easier to extract a boot image from a firmware file rather than trying to get it from the device using QFIL, so your approach is better. I guess having the Sprint version got me into a scarcity mindset.
No problem. I hope OP can follow your roadmap.

Hey, no worries, I VERY much appreciate your reply.
After coming from the V30 and how easy that was to root - you have scared the crap outta me with all those steps.
Just soooo wish it was 100% definitely possible.
I don't want custom roms oranhything, I just miss, in Order
1: Titanium Backup
2:System appremover
3: Adblock, proper adblock like i had on my v30 ( sniff, cry)
4: TWRP
Heck, I'd PAY to get my V50 rooted ;-)
thanks

Just in case you missed it, @lallolu here offered to do it for 5 bucks which I think is a fair price. You mentioned you'd be willing to pay to get it rooted earlier.

Hi, I am not the one doing it. It is one guy called "Remote Unlock Service". He is very knowledgeable and he could help with other issues too. I used him once when I bricked my phone. Rooting and unlocking bootloader is actually easy for the ones that know how to follow guides.
I HAVE unlocked the bootloADER...THAT WAS SIMPLE.
