Is there any root method for this phone? i cant find it and if i root can i unroot without flashing a software? i want to run bbs app and it requires root. Thanks
Hello all,
Im totally confused as to how to go about rooting my device c6902. Ive owned a couple of android devices and Ive rooted them all, however....with this device and there seem to be different ways people have rooted from reading the threads and im totally confused, So far I have unlocked the bootloader, and upgraded the device OTA to lollipop .242 (before the bootloader was unlocked), I dont intend installing any custom firmware, just want root so I can use TB and maybe delete a few bloatwares with root explorer and use xposed.
Im confused as to whether:
1. I have to downgrade firmware to kitkat, just to get root, then upgrade back to official firmware?
2. Ive been under the impression that a custom recovery and supersu, is enough to get root. It doesnt work that way on this device?
3. I saw some oneclick root programs that worked on the z1 compact would any work here
Just trying to know more about the phone and understand, so any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Using the guide on the link I just posted, you are not required to unlock the bootloader, unlocking the bootloader without backing up the TA partition can cause problems with your phone.
You need to downgrade to KitKat 4.4.4 with kernel 108, then root it with easyroot install supersu and rootchecker to make sure your phone is rooted, the use NUTs recovery to create a recovery partition, after that search XDA forums for a pre-rooted lollipop flashable zip and install that, and voila you should be on lollipop with root and recovery.
I am not sure about one-click root programs.

Thanks for your help.
I already unlocked the bootloader though. Do I need to downgrade the whole kitkat rom or flash just the kernel? thanks
Figured out. Thanks
Hi everyone,
just tried to root my Tmobile USA, D415. however it says device is not supported. Did lolipop break root via this method? Any alternative methods?
While I am reading all the threads on how to do this, I want to make sure I'm not blindly using an outdated method. A pointer would be greatly appreciated.
Also, which method of installing a custom room would you guys recommend for installing a custom recovery?
I will continue to read for possible solution.
Thank you in advance
Hi all,
I'm getting a notification for upgrade to my Moto x4 to OPWS27.1.1. I have rooted my phone with the Magisk root method here, which is working great. Has anyone figured out the right procedure to take the OTA update after gaining root in this fashion?
Thanks for any tips!

Someone posted a method in the Root thread in the other section.
Hello guys. I have problem rooting my phone.
I can install TWRP but root doesn't work. I tried rooting with all methods and installing rooted ROMs. Right now I am on pixel experience ROM and it won't install rooted. BL is unlocked and I tried all methods to root. I have TWRP 3.4.0.0.
Any idea?

It is possible that it is rooted but Magisk Manager might not be showing up, I suggest downloading Magisk Manager APK and see what the manager says.
