Hi,
is there easy tool to root phone. I don't need install trwp and custom roms.
I just need to root the phone - that's all.
There is no shortcut... you must unlock the device via Motorola's Official Unlock tool, this will wipe your device and void the warranty. Then you can boot TWRP (without flashing it if you wish) and install root.
Sorry, but since Lollipop, and all future versions of Android, there will be no more quick root solution that can be done without unlocking and following the "old normal" procedure, Google made sure of that, for now at least until someone discovers an entirely new way to root.
i was thinking that there is some easier way.
Motorola has app (Moto care i think ) that can remotely wipe phone when lost. When i was activating it there was some info about root access.
So i need that tool:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
??
How to boot into TRWP without flashing it ?
Is there way to lock the phone after unlock process ? For example when I won't need any more rooted phone.
Yes
You boot twrp with the 'fastboot boot xxxx.img' command
Your phone will always show unlocked, even when relocked, unless you flash a stock rom image using a special OEM lock procedure. TBH, almost no one bothers because it will always show tampered and you won't get the warranty back.

that's not good information. With my "luck" to phones it probably will need warranty after unlock
what else will i need to unlock it ?
Motorola unlock tool - i know.
i suppose drivers for phone, what else ?

There is no "tool"... Just drivers (Win only), a few fastboot commands, and Moto's website, it's all manually done with the G3.

If you are ready to root your phone, then don't think about warranty. every warranty voids at one day, then if you want full control over your phone , you must ready for everything, otherwise don't root .
Before doing anything, you must do a backup
Read everything and understand then hit ok in all steps of Android rooting life .
There is a root tool called One Click Root. It seems great. have a try.

You are saying backup before doing anythig... But how to backup it? When we unlock all data get wiped... So there is nothing to backup... Device is very clean...

You should back up as much as possible before you unlock the device. Photos, Videos, etc - you can back-up to your SD card. Contacts, Calendar, etc. can be backed up on Google.
I'm not sure about other app data, like in games.
Before you root, consider whether you actually *need* to root your phone for you to use it. Often, a lot of the 'control' people mention, is something they hardly make use of. One popular reason for rooting might be ad-blocking, but if it's just to block ads in browsers, there are various browsers available with ad-blocking enabled (firefox for instance with a plugin) and if you want system-wide ad-blocking, there are services such as AdGuard, which work with a local VPN / without rooting. More 'control' also means you're potentially making your device less safe. Lastly, the Moto G3 is very clean to begin with, very close to stock Android and the Motorola apps that are included are generally considered to be useful instead of bloat.
TL;DR, think before your root / gamble with your warranty, don't just root for the sake of it.
That said, good luck
Brief about phone
I need to open this phone without losing data. This is PIN locked phone[Deceased Person's Phone]
Developer Mode Disabled
Any way to unlock it.
Via
ADB
I need how to root it and remove its pin number any how.
While rooting there should not contain any risk that involves data wipe.
New update
I cant flash twrp via odin
Custom Binary block by FRP lock
Question: If i flash orginal stock rom would it delete all the files and setting stored in phone
There should not be any data loss coz it needs to open phone of deceased person.
Did you unlock the phone?
I am in a similar position with my samsung J700F.
Did you find any success mate?

Completely bricked - no recovery & fastboot (Updated the thread about my experience)
I tried to re lock the boot-loader with 'fastboot relock' which made the deice completely bricked.
That was a foolish thing to do but now I can't access either stock recovery or fastboot. I just get the USB connected sound when I plugin the USB but stuck on boot logo. I ran out of ideas, any suggestions ???
In short, I can't access recovery/fastboot either with hardware keys or commands. Totally screwed it in a hurry.
I don't have a backup phone right now to take/make calls. Any urgent help is appreciated.
UPDATE
I tried all sorts of things but there isn't any free tool which can do things when FRP is locked and phone is bricked for Huawei.
I'm here to say about the ****ty service of Huawei/Honor and the way I bought back the device to life.
I submitted this out of warranty device to official service center 1 month back and kept calling them every 2 days to check if they were able to flash the firmware but they continuously failed. Guess what ? Thy didn't even know how to boot the device into fastboot with test point and had no idea about ADB drivers. I had to revisit them after 2 weeks to teach them about test-point boot which they confirmed after calling them repeatedly. After booting into fastboot, for unlocking the FRP of the device I own and have the bill on my own name- They demanded my complete identity proofs for submitting it to the company to get the unlock code. They didn't even accept the photocopy of the blurred out personal details on Identity proof and shouted back at me to send the copy which contains every single detail of mine including address, personal identification number which is linked to my bank accounts etc. I sent them the photocopy of the proof with no real use. They ask me to come down again to check if I could help them in flashing firmware using their basic tools. Finally, they returned the device and they claimed it as a motherboard fault. FFS this was the first company I ever encountered which couldn't recover their own device and pushes service guys to claim it as a motherboard issue(Yes! Terms of the company says so which is accepted by the service guy).
I bought the device back home and used DC Pheonix! Paid 19 Euros for DC Pheonix & HCU timed license and flashed the firmware within 5 minutes. BOOM! Everything back to normal. This was the device which was declared as a motherboard issue by the company which sold it and got repaired by an unofficial software within 5 minutes.
Gave this device to my mom for temporary use and bought the POCO few weeks back. Neither going back to Huawei/Honor nor allowing my acquittances to purchase such useless devices from a company who can't recover their own phones and locks down boot-loaders forever to steal customers data.

Out of warranty sadly.
Nothing is accessible in the phone except the boot logo, force restart. Forcing it into recovery & fastboot just presents the same logo screen again. I'm currently waiting for the battery to drain off and present a different screen as few users suggested in search results.

I managed to cold boot into fastboot when phone is out of battery. Sadly, Bootloader is relocked and FRP is locked due to the foolish command I gave. Can't find a way to boot into e recovery to try this method mentioned here https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/funky-huawei-erecovery-solution-100-t3620165/page6

I'm considering that as an option if the service centre charges me way more than 19 Euros(Cost of DC Phoenix & HCU client). I will be handing them the device this weekend. .
If you have access to fastboot, then all is not lost.

1. you need to unlock the bootloader again
2. Flash recovery twrp
3. And then I recommend flashing the custom firmware (resurection) in it to unlock the FRP, and then sew anything else.

We can only unlock the bootloader if FRP is unlocked which is not the case here. Anyways, I gave the device to the service center and don't care about it anymore. Most probably those guys blatantly state it as a motherboard issue and I have to eventually unlock it with DC pheonix in the end and donate the device to anyone.
I'm here to say about the ****ty service of Huawei/Honor and the way I bought back the device to life.

They didn't even accept the photocopy of the blurred out personal details on Identity proof and shouted back at me to send the copy which contains every single detail of mine including address, personal identification number which is linked to my bank accounts etc. I sent them the photocopy of the proof with no real use. They ask me to come down again to check if I could help them in flashing firmware using their basic tools. Finally, they returned the device and they claimed it as a motherboard fault.

Hi,
While going around this forum, i saw a lot that people where claiming that an unlocked phone had it's data fully secure if it was encrypted. Is it actually the case ?
From what i understand, a phone isn't encrypted with your pin code / password. It first generates keys, encrypts the phone with them, and then cyphers these keys using your code. The keys are then stored in a special partition of the phone's memory.
(And thus, if the phone needs be wiped, either remotely or because of too many failed attempts, it just deletes this partition)
Normally, it would be impossible to brute force a lock screen, since the phone will prevent more than ~ 15 attempts. However, with an unlocked device, couldn't an attacker with sufficient knowledge of the hardware be able to use the ability to flash custom boot images / roms to access these keys, and brute force them, bypassing the lock screen ? A sufficiently powerful computer could be able to brute force a 4, 6 or even 10 digits AES key in hours, if not minutes.
So :
1) Is this correct, and how the android encryption works ?
2) if it is, is there any device specific protections to prevent that ?
3) is there any ways to counterbalance that threat with an unlocked device, other than setting a 10 characters password ?
Thank you.
Short answer:
If phone's bootloader is unlocked, someone could take your phone, flash a malicious ROM that contains keystroke loggers or something, and then return the phone to you and wait for you to type your PIN or decryption password. It'd be better to keep the bootloader locked whenever you don't actually need to flash things via Fastboot.

I guess this wanders into device specificness, but, at least for my device, pixel 6a, i read that you should never re-lock a bootloader without a completely stock firmware / boot image. So, how can you protect your bootloader while keeping your phone rooted ?
What has a device's bootloader to do with device's Android OS ? Nothing!

The lockability of the bootloader depends on the signing of the OS!?
you are right. do not lock bootloader on pixel devices. imagine device is fully stock and locked, now some OTA brick device and recovery mode not able to unbrick by sideloading full OTA image - this is nightmare. google's solution is to RMA device, they do not provide any flash tool other than fastboot or WebUSB flash tool (via adb lol)
on the other hand, encryption is secured against bruteforce by gatekeeper (in TEE). as long as your device is powered off your data remains encrypted, unless you decrypt with credentials (we won't talk about the .dismiss() bug on decrypted devices)

Can you provide more details?
The bootloader lock prevents flashing and booting of unsigned images. With a locked bootloader, download mode does not accept custom software; all software packages must be OEM signed.
An unlocked bootloader (with Knox Guard disabled) will allow flashing custom firmware, such as TWRP recovery.
So, in that sort of sense, I suppose the bootloader lock does control what download mode will accept via Odin.

Ah, ok. That makes a little more sense.
The bootloader has to be unlocked in order to flash custom firmware.
The process works like this:
Turn on OEM Unlocking in Developer Options (allows bootloader to be unlocked)
Boot device into unlock mode - starting with device off, hold both Volume buttons and plug in USB cable)
Follow device instructions to unlock (will wipe data)
Boot into system, allow system to connect to Internet to disable Knox Guard
Reboot into download mode, use Odin to flash TWRP
Use TWRP to flash custom ROM
So, if OEM Unlocking is not available, you can't do any of this, because that is the first step.
Unless you have factory restarted your device within the last week, no oem unlock means no custom firmware. You have the snapdragon variant, right?

I think this is the clue. You have a organization managed device with an MDM lock (Mobile Device Management). MDM is used by enterprise IT departments to manage devices and can prevent bootloader unlocking as well as factory reset.
Let me guess, you bought this device used?

I think your only option is to find out which company the phone belonged to before. If they removed it from their fleet, they can probably remove the MDM lock. This is actually pretty common - enterprise managed devices will be "retired" from fleet service and sold without being properly decommissioned - they're wiped, but the IT department doesn't remove the MDM lock.
They might or might not unlock it for you, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

MDM locks typically can't be removed by the end user. That's the whole point - to prevent employees from using devices inappropriately and removing them from enterprise management via factory reset
