In this article, we will guide you through the process of rooting your device step-by-step. By following this guide, you will be able to successfully root your Moto G4 or G4 Plus and enjoy the benefits of a rooted device.
To begin with, you will need to download a set of files that are required for the rooting process. These files can be found in the description of the video. Once you have downloaded the files, you will find them in a zip file. Extract the contents of the zip file and you will have four files.
Next, you will need to run the setup for Minimal ADB and Fastboot. Run the setup as an administrator, accept the terms and conditions, and complete the installation process. Once the installation is complete, go to the location where Minimal ADB and Fastboot is installed and copy the four files you extracted earlier into the same folder.
Now, we need to reboot the device into Fastboot mode. Power off your device and then press and hold the volume down button and the power button simultaneously until the Fastboot mode is activated. When your device is in Fastboot mode, connect it to your PC using a USB cable.
Open the command prompt window for Minimal ADB and Fastboot by double-clicking the CMD file in the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder. In the command prompt, type the following command:
fastboot devices
This command will search for connected devices and display the connected device in the command prompt window. If your device is detected, you can proceed to the next step.
Now, type the following command to flash the recovery:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Replace recovery.img with the actual name of the recovery file you downloaded earlier. Hit enter and the recovery will be flashed onto your device.
Once the recovery is flashed, you need to reboot into recovery mode. Use the volume up and down buttons to navigate to the recovery mode option, and then press the power button to select it. Wait for your device to boot into recovery mode.
Now, connect your device to your PC once again. Make sure your device is detected by Minimal ADB and Fastboot. In the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder, copy the SuperSU and ElementalX files.
Go back to the TWRP main menu and navigate to the Install section. Locate the SuperSU and ElementalX files and select them to flash them onto your device. Swipe to confirm the flashing process.
After the files are successfully flashed, go to the Reboot section and select System. Let your device reboot into the system.
Once your device has rebooted, you will not see any root app in your app drawer. To manage root access, go to the Play Store and search for the SuperSU app. Install the app and launch it. You will now have root access on your Moto G4 or G4 Plus.
In conclusion, rooting your Moto G4 or G4 Plus can open up a world of possibilities for customization and control. By following the step-by-step guide provided in this article, you can easily root your device and enjoy the benefits of a rooted device. Remember to proceed with caution and make sure you understand the risks and implications of rooting before proceeding.
