- Learn how to unlock the bootloader and root(Magisk) your Motorola phone with this easy-to-follow beginner friendly tutorial.
I'm using a 2023 Motorola Stylus 5G that I got from Metro PCS, but the process should work on most Motorola phones.
00:00 Intro
00:57 Phone Settings
02:19 Computer Prep
03:32 Unlock Bootloader
05:14 Root with Magisk
08:40 Bonus Root access use cases
-----------------------------------------------------
---- Step 1 - Phone settings ----
-----------------------------------------------------
- Enable developer mode, OEM unlock, and USB Debugging
- If OEM unlock is greyed out, you may need to wait 7 days while connected on wifi. If it still doesn't work, you can try the steps suggested on this reddit comment: / kd76xal
-----------------------------------------------------
---- Step 2 - Prepare your computer ----
-----------------------------------------------------
- ADB tools - www.xda-developers.com/instal...
FOR PC: Lenovo SRA (Drivers): support.lenovo.com/ca/en/down...
- Check that you're in the right directory: pwd
- Check that adb tools work using the command: adb version
- Check that adb phone connection is working using the command: adb devices
-----------------------------------------------------
---- Step 3 - Unlock Bootloader ----
-----------------------------------------------------
- Motorola website: en-us.support.motorola.com/ap...
Commands:
adb reboot fastboot
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
fastboot oem unlock __UNLOCK CODE__
*Note: replace "___UNLOCK CODE___" with the actual code from the email
-----------------------------------------------------
Step 4 - Rooting your phone
-----------------------------------------------------
Website for Factory Stock firmware images: mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/...
Check model name using CPU-Z: play.google.com/store/apps/de...
OR Check model name using Device Info: play.google.com/store/apps/de...
OR Check model name using fastboot: xdaforums.com/t/guide-using-f...
if you can't match the build number, flash stock firmware using these instructions: • Video
Magisk apk (github): github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/r...
Commands:
adb reboot fastboot
fastboot reboot
For single boot partition:
fastboot flash boot ___magisk_patched.img___
For two boot partitions:
fastboot flash boot_a ___magisk_patched.img___
fastboot flash boot_b ___magisk_patched.img___
*Note: replace "____magisk_patched.img____" with the actual filename of the patched boot.img
-----------------------------------------------------
PLEASE READ
Unlocking and rooting will erase all data, including settings and applications. So, back up your data first. This can be a risky process and even though its rare, it is possible to brick your device - so proceed with caution, and don't skip any steps! Warning… do this at your own risk. I am not responsible for what you do to your device.
*Note: This will not remove carrier lock.

(bootloader) Failed to get unlock data. 4:06 please can you solve this problem when i entered this command " fastboot oem get_unlock_data" it returned an error "failed to get unlock data"
You can't get past there if it's been less than 180 days since the phone was initially activated on MetroPCS. Maybe it's different for other carriers. I looked all over on xda developers and other places. In fact most of us had to manually put the phone in fastboot mode.
might need to update windows drivers. go to windows updates while your phone is plugged in and check optional updates
I'm able to run 'reboot fastboot' and the device(Moto G Power 5G 2024, Android 14) executes properly, but from the device I have to manually tell it to reboot to bootloader and from there neither the computer nor the device detects each other(Ran ADB devices to confirm). I've tried three separate USB-C cables(OEM cable, A data cable for an external NVME drive bay, and a USB-C to USB-A cable) and none of them detect. Kinda at a loss figuring out if there's another security switch preventing the connection. Any help is welcome!
yea I was doin all kinds of weird stuff for hours. Finally, I found that I had to update my windows driver for android usb. I went to windows update and clicked view optionial updates while my phone was plugged in ( it showed something like motorola android usb update). next I physically rebooted my phone in fastboot (restart, then hold the down arrow and the power button until the boot screen appears). At that point I again entered " ./fastboot oem get_unlcock_data" and it worked.
The commands onward are not "adb". They are "fastboot". Yes, I know its hard to see. I ran into this problem when I attempted rooting last year. Fastboot, not ADB.
I made a post but it didn't show up; I was able to successfully root my device several weeks ago. Make sure that the machine you're running powershell/terminal from actually has the OEM drivers FOR YOUR PHONE. Otherwise, the computer won't see the device properly, and you wont be able to send commands to it.
Site is not working
Can see all your numbers your white box was transparent a bit
Unlocking and flashing the firmware to get root access are separate parts of the process and both require quite a bit of knowledge to achieve. You should def make a video about the different variables with unlocking a device. It's easy, but people spend tons of hours just to finally learn that their model isn't unlockable for whatever reason. The main one being that carriers don't want you to have access to the USB tethering feature
moto g power 5G (XT2311DL) oem is gray out, does waiting 7days work? If no how do I access this option
I read if you factory reset without the sim and make a rush for the oem unlock without signing into google and such you can unlock it.
I had a Verizon SIM plugged in immediately(Phone is unlocked by Default). I don't know how long I waited, but the phone died somewhere over the course of the month after ejecting the sim, and the switch ungreyed. So, just try letting it sit without a sim for a bit?
After 14 days it was available to click oem toggle, but Motorola says not eligible, I'll wait a while and check again. While I wait I'll explore alternative methods.
OK, it's been little over a month, going to check the Motorola website again, if still no, I'll contact support and find out why, as well as explore alt methods / work arounds

Just a warning to anyone using a phone without a carrier. I have a Motorola Power G that I purchased unlocked and without a carrier, so I wasn't sure what factory image to download. I found an image for a carrier matching my exact factory image ID, and so went with that. Everything was successful, but after flashing, my device is now in a soft brick status. The device boots, but the screen is unresponsive to touch. I did a complete wipe and factory reset and that appeared to work but the device is still unresponsive to touch. Just a warning, may not want to try this unless your phone was actually purchased from a carrier.
How to find out carrier name
Well... What's your carrier? On most phones you can see it listed as "SIM Status" under "About Phone" in settings
one hell of a lengthy process made a few oopsies, but i am rooted
Do the Pi Hole. I have an extra moto G power now
when with windows cuz it dosent work
It does work, I'm doing it right now. What problem are you having?
How can i contact you
