Hello, newbie here. Sorry If I'm in the wrong place, just needed some advice. I recently rooted my moto g via king root then replaced it with super su via wolfdroid method with terminal emulator. I've read it was a bad choice to use kingroot. Well anyhow I wanted to be able to install a custom recovery but have read it's not possible unless I unlock the bootloader as kingroot bypasses that procedure. My question is, is it possible to install a custom recovery on my device with a locked bootloader? Maybe via flashify or twrp manager? If not. What's the best way to fully unroot without doing any damage? Thank you in advance (p.s. I used kingroot as my laptop charger is broke)

1. First, I would like to thank the XDA forum for its excellent tutorial on flashing lollipop rom using flashtool and for the lollipop ftf file. I have successfully flashed my xperia z.
2. I then "successfully" rooted my phone using Kingroot.
3. Please note the word successfully in quotes -- root checker apks tell me that my phone is rooted. Yet there are system programmes that I cannot uninstall.
4. Is it because I have not unlocked my bootloader?
Please share your experience. Thanks to all the people here.
No you don't need to unlock your bootloader.
Kingroot is not a good root tool.

Thanks for the reply. I have gone through the thread you mention. But I get the message which says that sdcard cannot be mounted. Thanks again.

You're saying Kingroot isn't a good rooting tool as it is but within the same answer you're linking him to a step-by-step guide which requires him to use Kingroot ^^
I've had good experiences with Kingroot, just dont use the "Purify"-Functionality after the rooting process
Apart from this, if you use Kingroot and it works for you (meaning no random reboots because of the RIC-issue) you're good to go! Otherwise consider replacing KingUser with SuperSU
My son has a moto x bought in 2014 - XT1052. How can i root it safely, because i am a little afraid of the process. I have in mind that is very dificult to do that in this phone, anybody as made it? I have the OPO rooted and is great, my son wants some of the functionalities that i have in my phone but it needs to be rooted...
Sorry for my english (not my 1st or 2nd language)...
yes possible to root, i've rooted mine with king root, but you need to unlock your bootloader first, then install the .apk file of king root(the easiest method to root moto x), then get twrp recovery and you're good to go !

I am looking to root, but I'm afraid
I don't speak much english. Sorry!!! (laughs)
This gets asked often.
Fact is, you cannot root the Z3+/Z4 wirh a tool or utility. The only way to do so is to unlock your bootloader, then flash a rooted rom.
I tried using KingRoot, but with no luck. It didn't break anything, though. What I had to do was unlocking the bootloader, then booting up a temporary TWRP-recovery and installing a SuperSU-installer with root binaries through that, as well as a kernel that allowed root privileges. It worked like a charm in Android 6.0 without any signs of misbehaviours
So far, every damned Cricket phone I've ever bought has either a crippled bootloader, or no bootloader at all. I recently bought the LG Harmony (M257) (Android 7.0) from Cricket Wireless after unsuccessfully trying to root and bricking a ZTE Grand X 3 (Z959) (Android 5.1.1) from losing charge while attempting a root. Either way, these phones seem to have little to no bootloader. If you prompt adb with "adb reboot bootloader" it just boots as normal, right into the OS.
My whole question here is, is it possible to flash SuperSU without TWRP or an unlocked bootloader? I am in dire need of rooting this device, as I'm getting overwhelmed with how little it can do as stock.
If there's a downloadable version of twrp that is "universal" somewhere, with a proper signature that can be adb side-loaded, or anything that can get me a team win custom recovery on a device with a crippled bootloader, please tell me about that too.
Thanks in advance to anyone that replies with helpful info!

- it has a bootloader; just crippled (like most carrier supplied prepaid devices)
- no way to install Magisk, SuperSU or similar tool on an unrooted device with locked bootloader (if it were that easy ...)

Well, it was worth a shot... Guess I might just have to resort to a few sketchy one-touch methods and use SuperSU Me.

Good luck - no known (or at least reliable) root exploits for M257 which is a prerequisite for SuperSU me.
I am quite new to this rooting and all...but I want to try this on my Moto...so if I get any help it would be much appreciated. Thanks!
(My device is Moto one power.)
First you need to unlock the bootloader
For that follow this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/one-power/how-to/guide-motorola-one-power-unlock-relock-t3858797
Then root via the magisk app
