How to Unlock Bootloader Moto G6, Install TWRP and Root

Ditulis pada: Juli 26, 2018

Motorola's answer to this year's budget market is the Moto G6, a device that is quickly turning out to be a great choice for those looking for an affordable yet promising smartphone. Although the Moto G6, like all previous incarnations, got special releases in markets like India, the international bits of the company have an edge over companies like Xioami, Oppo or Vivo. Built from a flanked glass design, Moto G6 is sure to be one of the more beautiful devices to take, even at the end of 2018. However, one factor that has changed so many heads is the fact that it comes with almost Android.

I know, I know, following the company's bad footsteps for software updates, just feel foolish for someone to whitelist this smartphone into many other offerings based solely on lust for software updates and timely security patches, but there's no doubt that the Motorola family also has received the biased treatment of some of our developers, who are growing rapidly and porting the best custom mods and ROMs you've ever seen! In such a case, it only makes sense for you to go ahead and try sideloading all these interesting and unique features onto your device!

If you are, in fact, looking for a place to start by exploring the very world of Android customization, then we've got you covered! While it may seem sluggish for you to get through all the steps that prevent you from reaching full control over your smartphone, it's not as difficult as it seems, and we're here to make it simpler. Read on to learn how you can unlock your device's bootloader, slap a custom recovery on it, and finally break the chain with rooting it!
