[Moto G Power (2021)] eveldun:
Yes I have rooted my moto g power right now.Here is what I wish I knew before I rooted.One a lot of more customization modules like custom boot intros don't work. Because Motorola is passively agressive forwards root. The moto g power 2022 is not very well known about in fact I'm trying to post the stock rom everywhere so people can update. And then reroot. The rooting process is difficult. I had some problems like the oem unlock was greyed out.

Requirements:

Computer with

One of the following operating systems:

*Windows 10

*Windows 11

*Ubuntu or any distro supporting apt

So here's how to root.

Step 1 backup Data you want to keep

Step 2 go to about phone in settings

Step 3 click build model 5-7 times To enable phone dev mode

Step 4 enable USB debugging and oem unlock

If oem unlock is greyed out don't panic for me I just had to wait 7 days and it automatically fixed itself it's some wierd glitch

Step 5 (Windows only) install adb and fastboot drivers you can find the universal version here

https://adb.clockworkmod.com/ then reboot

Step 6 install adb and fastboot

Windows:

Go to https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools and download the Windows adb and fastboot zip.

Now extract the adb and fastboot platform tools into a folder preferably downloads.

Next if you are using Windows 11 open the adb and fastboot location and right click the file explorer backround click the and click open in PowerShell.

For Windows 10 it's harder you have to type the command cd AdbDirectory

Example: cd C://Users/YourUser/Downloads/adbandfastboot_folder

⚠️IMPORTANT⚠️(Windows10-11)

Note: later we will run commands if you get error like no such file or directory. Make sure you are in the right directory if you are in the right directory type the command like ./adb.exe and ./fastboot.exe (This will only work if you are in the folder

Linux:

type

sudo apt install adb | apt install fastboot

Step 7 install the magisk app on your phone you can find it here
