Introduction
Are you looking to root your Moto G4 or G4 Plus device without using a PC? Rooting your device gives you more control and allows you to customize your smartphone to your liking. In this article, we will guide you through the process of rooting your Moto G4 or G4 Plus without the need for a PC. By following these steps, you can unlock the full potential of your smartphone. So let’s get started!
Step 1: Download the Required Files
To get started, you will need to download some files. These files can be found in the description below the video. Once you have downloaded the files, you will have a zip file containing four files. One of these files is the Minimal ADB and Fastboot setup. Run the setup as an administrator and follow the installation instructions.
Step 2: Copy the Root Files
After the installation is complete, navigate to the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder. Copy the root file and paste it into the same folder as the two files you downloaded earlier.
Step 3: Reboot Your Device to Fastboot Mode
To enter the Fastboot mode, power off your device. Once it is powered off, press and hold the volume down button and the power button simultaneously. This will boot your device into Fastboot mode.
Step 4: Connect Your Device to PC
Connect your device to your PC using a USB cable. Once connected, open the Minimal ADB and Fastboot window by double-clicking on the CMD file. In the CMD window, type “fastboot devices” to search for connected devices. Your device should be detected and displayed in the window.
Step 5: Flash the Recovery
In the CMD window, type the command “fastboot flash recovery [file name].img” (replace [file name] with the actual name of the recovery file you copied earlier). Press enter to begin the flashing process. Once the recovery is successfully flashed, reboot your device to the recovery mode.
Step 6: Install Superuser File
While in the recovery mode, connect your device to your PC and copy the Superuser file and Elemental X kernel file from the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder. Return to the recovery mode and go to the Install section. Locate the two files and flash the Elemental X kernel first. Once the flashing process is complete, swipe to confirm. Then, install the Superuser file and wait for the installation to finish.
Step 7: Reboot Your Device
After the installation is complete, go to the reboot section and select the system option. Let your device reboot to the system.
Step 8: Install SuperSU App
Once your device has rebooted, you will not see any root app in your app drawer. To manage root permissions, go to the Play Store and search for the SuperSU app. Install the app and open it. You will now have full root access on your Moto G4 or G4 Plus device.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have successfully rooted your Moto G4 or G4 Plus without using a PC. Now you have the power to customize and optimize your device according to your preferences.
