Hello. I have no clue how to root a Motorola. I'm used to Samsung. I know most of you think this is stupid, but I don't know how to root it. I have looked for it on google and either the tutorials suck or, well mostly they suck. I do want to use the stock ROM if that helps at all. But yeah, any answers will help, thanks, guys.

You will need to unlock the bootloader,
which is about 3 steps or so,
allow oem unlocking
get the device bootloader code
summit code to Motorola
receive unlock code via emai
send the code to the device
Then you can root
2 methods for that both using Magisk
Twrp method (if there's a Twrp recovery for your device)
Use Magisk app to patch the boot.img. then flash patched-boot.img
See links in
[Guide] Root Motorola with Magisk (UnLocked Bootloader)(Non-TWRP method)
Root Motorola Devices with Magisk Note: This method has been working with most Moto Devices that the Bootloader can be UnLocked. If the Bootloader cannot be Unlocked this method will not work. Please only use this as a reference. If you require...

If you use LMSA to get the stock firmware boot.img, be sure that LMSA has the same software version that is on your device.
It is possible that your device may have an OTA update that is not available Yet, there can be a couple of days delay for new firmware.
It's also possible that LMSA has a newer version than what is installed on your device, if that's the case you may want to update to new firmware before rooting.
For minor updates the boot.img should be compatible, if the android version changed you will need the correct boot.img
Thank you for your reply. I'm just wondering now how to get stock ROM?

Had The 5.1 Lollipop And Used The Klickit Tool Which Then Unlocked Bootloader,Gave Me Twrp Which I Then Flashed SuperSu. Pretty Easy Right?Well I Was Given A Replacement Which Had 6.0 MM And I'm Completely Lost On How To Unlock Bootloader, Install TWRP Which Will Allow Me To Then Flash SuperSU If Someone Could STEP BY STEP Video That Would Mean A Lot And Give Me Some Better Understanding. Thank You For Your Time Everyone And I Appreciate All The Work And Everything I Have Been Learning On How To And Just In General On XDA!!!! I'm Currently On 6.0 MM The T-Mobile LgV10
It's very easy to do. Just Google Search how to unlock the bootloader on the V10. What model are you using? Is it a T-Mobile , Atat etc?

I have the t mobile variant. Every time I attempt to unlock it states it's unlocked but when I reboot the phone. Or does not inform me I'm unlocked like how it did when I had the 5.1 lollipop. Also then try and get twrp and root but no luck. Please give me a email or pm.

Me too! I'm going to try and contact the Devs for twrp or Cwm and see if I can get a source code. Might be able to compile it myself for us when I get to my desktop. Is there support for lineage yet?

Fla-lx1. I've been actively looking for a way to root it safely, as huawei is going to stop unlocking bootloaders in less than 2 months. I did find a way to root it on a russian site, but i don't trust it.
I'd appreciate any development or help! thank you.

You're not with lucky, FLA-AL have 4 different Firmware releases so far and FLA-LX# have zero !
Without firmware released for your device you don't have a starting point.
@HatemB
what's your build ?
Example : Huawei P20L - ANE-LX1 8.0.0.126(C432)
Huawei Y9 - FLA-LX2 8.0.0.121 (C636)
@RememberZ
Only for FLA-AL or FLA-TL Firmware find with FirmwareFinder.
You need for your Device FULL-Update. Without FULL-Update it's very danger to flash anything.
If after flashing 1 error in phone - you have NO chance for self-repair !
@JamesBott
It's fla-lx1c185. I will wait in order to have a safer rooting process. But I do have a related question. I unlocked the bootloader, with no other modification. Will i receive updates normally? OTA and such.
@HatemB
if stock-rom installed OTA-Updates incomming "normaly" and you can install.
Only "point of attention" is : OTA-Updates need stock-recovery for install, not work with TWRP. That's all.
Bootloader unlockt OR lockt is the same : no differences for install.
i have Bootloader unlockt, TWRP installed, OTA-Updates incomming, i am copy Update to external-sd, flash stock-recovery and install the update. Thats work.
Me too need root and twrp
Actually, since Huawei is no longer providing Unlock Codes, it's almost impossible to find a solution. There's a chance with DC-Unlocker which calculates the Bootloader Unlock Code for 5 Euros or so. I was Asked for 20€ for the same service.
Hi, I have had a look around and searched for this answer but cannot find a definitive answer. Is it possible to intall any custom roms if my BL is unlockable? I have checked and unfortunately I cannot unlock it on my phone (If anyone knows a way, I'd appreciate it).
I can't seem to see any mention of BL in individual rom posts but assume they need it as they use TWRP to install the roms and TWRP as far as I know needs an unlocked BL.
Thanks
There's an official website for unlocking bootloader: https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader/
If needed further help regarding custom ROMs, feel free to leave me a reply.

Sorry to hear that but if your bootloader is not unlockable you are stuck with stock. AFAIK there are no ROM for BL and I don't think any will be created due to the old age of this model and the support of the Sony Open Source Project
After doing little digging in , found few things about unlocking bootloader , rooting and flashing some root apps.. but our beloved device seems to be under the shackles of oem. Rooting and installing system apps comes with a price, u cannot update if there is any system updates from oem.
Created this thread hoping that someone can find some way of breaking these shackles. Anyone who knows a way of rooting and installing system apps without breaking system updates from oem, please share your ideas here.. I've been a long time flashaholic and this is what I used to do with my previous phone which is OnePlus one.
Unlock bootloader, root, install few root apps that I like such as viper 4 android. And when there is new ota updates from oem I'll flash stock firmware which will remove root so that I can update the phone with oem ota, after that I'll root again..
This seems to be impossible here.. if someone have some ideas please share..
Ps. If someone feels like this thread is unnecessary pls feel free to do the needful. Thanks.
Found this new nokia flash tool and steps with download links for stock roms.. could someone let me know if this is legit ? I'm pasting the website link here so that people can check that, pls forgive me if it's not allowed
https://raghuvarma331.github.io/Nokia-SDM660-Stock-ROMS/
Tried this myself and found that the fastboot for our device doesn't recognise the bootloader unlocking fastboot commands.. also found in few posts that earlier we were able to unlock bootloader in some old firmware and after that it was disabled by hmd.. I didn't want to go to some old firmware to do this, need to find a way to do this from Android 10. will keep trying to find more and update here.. I think we a need to wait till hmd decides to allow is to unlock bootloader.. meanwhile if someone else found something pls so share here.. thanks.

Definitely legit, he is the main developer for our device.
You are correct on the bootloader.
You need to be on earlier Android 9.0 firmware, I think Ver. 331 (not positive) or earlier. To be able to unlock bootloader. If you can figure a way to downgrade, then you can do it.
That is the current roadblock.
Once you have the bootloader unlocked it will stay unlocked.
You can then accept updates and or flash custom ROMs as you wish.
Can't offer a fix, but hope the information helps.
Now we don't need for downgrading to Android 9. XDA Senior @singhnsk has discovered a way to unlock the bootloader while on Android 10. You can reach him for remote unlock method (paid). It takes only around 15 mins.
Edit: Now the devs has released an unlocking method for Nokia 7.2 & 6.2 which is completely free and can be done by yourself!
Check out the thread here for free unlocking guide!

At this time you can root using kingroot. Oppo A53 specific recovery hasnt been posted yet and it thread hasnt been created yet so theres no tweak or root nor installing rom

Is there any other way?
You could try using magisk. but then the next problem is how you could get the boot partition and how you could unlock bootloader
I tryied to patch the boot .img. I extracted from the firmware. It seems that that file is not recognised.

Did you got the boot by doing a readback/dump or by extracting it from ozip file?

Hey!! the real problem lies in flashing the patched_boot.img
You need to know that u can't flash anything unless your bootloader is unlocked
Sadly in realme and oppo devices unlocking bootloader isn't possible without the in-depth test app. This is provided my the manufacturer itself along with the kernel sources. Realme releases the kernel sources of each device after warranty period ,but oppo doesn't . Oppo has recently released the sources of a few devices ( best selling )
So the conclusion is u can't root unless oppo releases the in depth test tool.
And don't extract the boot from ozip with zip archiving tool

Got it, thanks all for help.
Then I will avoid OPPO in the future and I will not recommend it.
Low price, but the phone not totally mine. I bought it as secondary phone, in order to do tests for apps developed by me. So is useless for me in this case. Waste of time and money in my particularly case.
Also, my fault because I didn't he search really well before. I hope it is only my case. It depends what user needs are.
All the best,

Yeah even I think buying this phone was the biggest mistake I did and moreover u can't sell it too.
Anyway I gave it away to my dad
Really funny, me too, about one month ago to my mother
update:
I emailed oppo few days ago. they didnt reply about the bootloader but aparently they made the kernel source public. (link below)
but I think it's kinda useless since we still need unlocked bootloader to do any mods on this phone
(unless a signed programmer is available, there might still be hope if there is)

Sorry, but unlocking the bootloader is possible, there is an official program called in-depth test, using it and adb package, you can open the bootloader. The problem is that twrp does not support oppo a53.
So if we have access to the kernel and the ability to unlock using the in-depth test app has anyone path boot using magisk?

did you tried to do it? AFAIK there's no in-depth program specifically for oppo a53. you cant install the in-depth program that is intended for different oppo models.
Also, when you try to boot the phone to bootloader, it will show the bootloader splash screen for a split second then it will reboot, even though OEM unlock is turned on on the developer options
