So my dad borrowed this phone for me, My dad says that this phone had Factory Reset Protected.
I tried a couple of tutorials from youtube, it didn't work. I had an idea that if i downgrade the firmware,
It will unlock.. Please answer.
Downgrading the firmware won't help. You need to find a guide from which you understand the principle of operation. Then you'll be fine on your own.

Hello guys I have spent like a day to review all the forums for android phones and couldn't find any solution how to root my old sensation that has MB replaced. I cannot unlock the bootloader. I tried many things. I want to install cynogenmod kitkat 4.4. I'm in the edge to brake this phone. Any of you managed with that issue?
Thanks in advance.

I can't do that. It is impossible. I'm trying it for 3 nights so far, no luck. Guides are incomplete, don't know the right files. Everywhere the bootloader unlock is as prerequisite. How to unlock the f**** HTC. I will never buy again anything with no Google logo on it. Replaced mobo and you are ****ed.

You can't. Period.
Should have researched. Your phone may very possibly brick when you take the next update.
Downgrading is a no-no. Not possible.

Really? I did it back on my bionic. Is there just no way to do so on the mini/maxx/ultra or in general there is no way to downgrade an android device?

But why exactly? I'm looking for an actual reason now. I was able to on my droid bionic a while back, why cant I on my droid mini?
Motorola signs OTA packages. The signature check fails because Moto simply doesn't want us downgrading.

I think, and I hope to get corrected if I'm not accurate, that downgrade is possible as long as bootloader stays the same version. Once the bootloader is upgraded, downgrading OS to a lover level will not be possible. Bootlader can remain the same version through multiple OS upgrades.
U can research for taobao boot loader unlock and that will allow you to unlock boot loader and gain root . but not a 100% sure thing but will cost ya 45 bucks if successful.

First of all, never use KingRoot. Secondly, do you have an unlocked bootloader. If yes, I may be able to help. If not, unlock bootloader first.
Google it and follow the steps.
Lemme know if you need more info.

Just search forum and google to find way to unlock bootloader. It's hard to tell actual step by step thing because some methods don't work for all.
You can also search from honor 4x and p8lite forums.
I'll try.

I feel like an idiot for asking this, possibly because I am one (which can certainly be debated), but here it goes.
As the title states, I pretty much screwed up in not making sure that I had everything in place after removing root and relocking the bootloader. How would I go about re-flashing the stock recovery? I'm running a Pixel 2 and would like to be able to side load updates in the future.
Thanks in advance for any guidance!
Is OEM unlock switched on ? Did you try unlocking your bootloader using fastboot?
If you can't access the recovery because the bootloader keeps crashing, then you just hard bricked your phone and there is no way back
I was able to unlock the bootloader again, so I don't think all hope is lost.

Thank you so much!
So I've been working with tech for a long time, but I've never rooted a device.
My main phone is a Galaxy A10e, soon to be an S10, and I have a spare phone that I want to root.
It's the (You guessed it) moto g stylus 5G (denver/osaka)
Every time i try to get into fastboot, it just reboots. Any ideas?
Also, is there anyone who has rooted this device before and can help me? Thx if so.
I've been on a lot of websites and ended up with th same result: FAILURE.
So I hope a actual person can help. Thanks!
P.S. I saw comments about T-Mobile and Metro, I have TextNow Wireless. Idk what that runs on tho.
Before you can do anything else you need to unlock your phones bootloader at the official motorola website.
Unlocking the Bootloader | Motorola Support US
Visit the customer support page to view user guides, FAQs, bluetooth pairing, software downloads, drivers, tutorials and to get repair and contact us information.
motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com
Head to that website and follow the instructions to unlock the bootloader. Once you do that, you need to download the Rescue and smart assistant tool and do a backup of your device.
Rescue and Smart Assistant Tool - Motorola
<h6><span style="color:#FFFFFF"><strong>Our Rescue and Smart Assistant tool</strong><br />can help diagnose and resolve issues on your<br />Motorola phone or Lenovo phone/tablet.</span></h6>

Once you do that. You will need to patch your boot.img using Magisk to gain root access.
Do you know how to use androids ADB tools and commands?
Ok first of all, thanks for the bootloader thing.
Second of all, yes, I do know how to use adb.
And third of all, is boot.img just the TWRP file for your device, or is it something else?

Its something else.. umm after you download that Motorola software, plugin your phone and it will automatically download the firmware for your phone. after it does that you need to browse to your C drive at ProgramData/RSA/Download/RomFiles/DENVER_GLOBAL
In that directory you will find boot.img. you need to move that file onto your phone (I put mine in the Download directory.
Install Magisk {see post attachment) and then go ahead and patch boot.img, it will generate a new patched boot.img, you need to flash that onto your phone via fastboot.
Ok thanks, I will do that
OK hold on, what Motorola software?

That's correct.
@jpearson82 Thank you for all of your help, I ended up unlocking the bootloader but then dropping the phone by accident and ruining the screen before I could root it. You have been a reliable source, and I appreciate that. Again, thank you.

Unlocking the bootloader on any device will always wipe the device.
