Android rooting tools? - Lemmy.World

I’ve rooted my android phone many years ago. Back then that was a different phone than I have now, and I was still using Windows. I’m now trying to find a way to root my current phone (Motorola g62 5G), and have no idea how to do it through Linux. However, I seem to only be able to find instructions that are specific to windows. How would I go about doing this on Linux (specifically Ubuntu)?

Flashing the phone’s bootloader and image is still done with adb and fastboot, but unlocking the bootloader is by now pretty much done with tools only made for windows.

Mostly this is because the exploits use factory flashing tools provided by manufacturers, which are nearly always windows.

No, you can do it via the Linux fastboot adb tools. You typically have to paste in a udev rule so system sees the phone as expected. Or if you have a Pixel theGraphenesOS web based setup is easiest, you don’t need any knowledge just click the buttons on the webpage

Did you read my comment?

If you are referring to fastboot oem unlock, there are almost no phones that don’t have dual or even triple bootloader partitions, so that won’t work by itself.

I wouldn’t trust a chrome USB TTY permission to touch anything hardware of mine.

You can flash twrp or download app to phone. Windows is sefinetly not a requirement because I only have Linux machines

Can we get that udev rule? Or at least a rough idea how to put it together? I had to put a windows box up just to get this phone talking to a pc

There are various guides, and don’t forget to use Sudo with fastboot command. xdaforums.com/…/guide-windows-linux-how-to-unlock…

It makes me kinda uneasy to see Google way down the list… :/ This seems suspicious as fuck ! Not about the person who made the list, but when something so evil makes something so easy to unlock, make my eyebrows twitch !
