So I'm having questions and issues with my Moto G. (XT1032)
1. Is there any way to root the Moto G without unlocking the bootloader? I'm having issues unlocking it (next issue).
2. I can't seem to unlock the bootloader on the Moto G. I'm trying to install CyanogenMod but when I go to unlock it on the Motorola website and put the unlock code from adb/fastboot, it says My phone's bootloader can't be unlocked!
So if you have any idea how to help me, please reply.
EDIT: Don't recommend me to flash a recovery like TWRP or ClockWork Mod Recovery. I need to unlock the bootloader. (I think)
Make 100% sure are putting the code in to the website with NO spaces.
I'm not aware of a way to root without unlocking.
Thanks so much!
Yeah depends what version of moto g you have as Motorola won't unlock certain ones... And seems like yours is one that can't be
Actually, it was a weird thing with the unlock code from fast boot having random spaces when I paste it into the checker, but now my Moto G is running CM12.1 with Root! Thanks a lot everyone!

I'm glad you solved it, but, actually, some people have a problem unlocking their bootloader, i had that problem with a mexican xt1032, in case someone needs this; search for:
Bootloader Unlock Problems?
in the forum at the motorola web site
Anyone attempt to unlock the bootloader, root, or install a custom ROM? I asked Lenovo support about unlocking the bootloader and they said it can be done but would not tell me how. I don't want to buy this until I know I can root it. I am looking at the Tab P11 Pro, but that does not have its own forum (yet?)
I'm thiking of buying the XiaoXin Tab Pro (same tablet/half the price), but i have the same questions as you.
I'm in exactly the same boat, did anyone find any more info?
For "Pad P11 Pro" (or XiaoXin Tab Pro flashed with P11 pro rom), you can follow instructions here to install twrp and root.

Except for step "4. Unlock bootloader" where I had to use this command instead:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
And I didn't do step 6
Don't forget that unlocking bootloader:
- wipes all data
- disables widevine Level 1, so Netflix and other streaming services fallback to low definition.
And there is no custom rom that I know of.

Were you able to root the stock ROM with Magisk?
This tablet is currently on sale for $100 off!
I am a tad confused on something, though - GSM Arena says this tablet has LTE, but the Lenovo website makes no mention of LTE...

Oy, I found the answer in a review... " in certain regions outside of the US, you’ll be able to buy an LTE-ready version of the Tab P11 Pro "
So, no LTE in the US version - which means no use to me. Guess I'll have to wait for the Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Plus later this year.

Yes, magisk was working great.
But the widevine thing made me go back to the locked bootloader
Whatever the bootloader has to to with the DRM crap called Widevine. But as long as there is no LineageOS or any other custom rom with more features I don't see why I'd unlock the bootlader atm. I wish there was one, security patch december on a new device is not acceptable imo...
Is there a way to debloat the existing rom?

And you said "But the widevine thing made me go back to the locked bootloader", what is widevine thing??
Thanks!!

I just did it, so i confirm the bootloader unlock and the rooting of p11 pro with this exact method!!
Hi All!
Will this unlock method work for a simple P11 not Pro?
Thank!

Hi, I own the Pro and would like to root. If I root with this method, after rooting, if I lock the bootloader again..... Do I still have Root? (and if yes: with what command did you relock the bootloader & does (after relocking) netflix and stuf run high-res againg?
the stock rom looks fine, but I'm concerned for updates, lenovo is known for forgetting to update the tablets, also loosing the sound quality will be something to be considered by a future rom developer

Hi, relocking the bootloader is like doing a factory reset.
You lose all apps and data (and root, obviously)
I am also having the same problem.. help .. haha
So, is there any hope for LineageOS on P11 Pro / Xiaoxin Pad Pro? I'd say that if any android tablet deserves it, this is definitely the one. It has superb hardware (honestly it feels like handling an iPad Pro) and a very sensible price on many distribution channels.
i have an issue with the bluetooth that can´t repair anything and it´s possible to be rom´s fault, the recommendation is to change the rom to another one but yeah, there is no custom roms for this device yet :s

Hey there, I know this post isn't recent, but I just discovered it and was hoping to ask a question or two.
I just picked up this tab, the J706F model, and I would really like to root it. However, when following that websites steps, including your experience of not flashing step 6, it still doesn't work. I get booted into the bootloader everytime, and there is no way to resolve this but to rescue the device back to stock. I've successfully unlocked the bootloader, and I have quite a bit of experience with tinkering around, but this has got me stuck. I can't seem to get Magisk on here. TWRP on the other hand isn't an issue. I have that installed and it works just fine.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated for getting root on this device.
I have rooted many Kali Linux and Kali nethunter approved devices, mostly nexus, virtual and modular(pi) devices.
Id like to root my moto g stylus 2021 minsk if at all possible, see what else I can do with a rooted device with a larger storage space... Maybe try andronix, make a few custom roms, run a remote server etc.
Or is there no point, & just get another tried-and-true rootable phone?
I unlocked the bootloader... Now how do I root?
Do I push a custom ROM in first?
how exactly do I do that?
where do I find the twrp for my model? Or the closest to it that works...
Any help, a how-to, a thread or developer Repo would be appreciated

When you root you are rooting the from, so if you change roms you need to reroot

You need to search for a rom that is compatible with the device,
Most Moto roms use the codename/Product

Hey, I have a TMobile Moto One 5g Ace 128gb and I don't want to destroy this phone but it sucks being stuck in Android 10. I have rooted phones in the past including Samsung's, LGS and Zte but Motorola is a new beast and I'm afraid of bricking it. I also don't want to be stuck with a custom ROM that doesn't have camera or flash light or some other issue between software and hardware. So I'm asking a professional the NOOB questions.... How do I unlock the bootloader..... How do I install the driver's.... How do I install twrp and root my phone..... And finally how do I install a custom ROM and what's the best one to install? Thank you

After unlocking the bootloader, there is a TWRP that will allow you to flash custom ROMs. It is flashed with fastboot.
You flash custom ROMs from TWRP. There is a Telegram channel with at least two developers of custom ROMs. I have tried Havoc and crDroid. Each has its advantages and fan boys. I am currently running a rooted stock Canadian retail ROM. It is more complicated to run rooted stock. Read the guides carefully and follow the instructions.
Some advice from someone who has unlocked and flashed many phones in the past.
Leave it alone. There is truly nothing to be gained.
Hello everyone!
I have searched online for a guide on exactly how to get Magisk on a Motorola Moto G41 but have only found very generic sounding step-by-step guides.
Want to know that I am doing it the right way the first time so that I don't end up bricking the phone or doing something stupid. Have always had Samsung before,
but now I went with a Motorola since I got it for a very good price (they had a sale on them).
All I want is standard rooting on the phone using Magisk so that I can use apps that require root priviliges.
I do not NEED custom recovery such as TWRP if that is not availble. Happy as long as I can get Magisk!
If someone would tell me exactly what to do to make this happen.
P.S: I did look for guides on XDA but I found none for the G31/G41 models.
If there is a current guide that would work please point me to it.
Kindest regards.

First of all thank you for your help.
I did find this tutorial before that you linked to but from all I've read you have to unlock the bootloader before following it, and also it felt a bit too easy to just flash it using stock recovery? Usually that is not permitted.
Also from what I understand you have to extract a certain boot image file from the original firmware and patch that using Magisk...
I also found this general tutorial for getting Magisk on Motorola Moto devices right here on XDA which I intend on trying:
