That stuff had been on my mind for way too long.
I was considering getting a USB-C - jack dongle, but they seemed annoying to carry around, and I wanted to avoid potential damage to the USB-C port by plugging it in and out multiple times per day (USB-C still seems finicky to me for some reason)
Also, I always like to have a backup device so that I’m not locked out of everything in case something happens to my primary phone.
The device is nice so far, really impressive for the price (got it for 180€ second hand with 1 year guarantee at a second hand shop).
I see it more as a connected music/video player than anything else, and for that it serves it purpose perfectly.
sadly no removable battery but unlocking the bootloader seems simple enough: https://unlocktechy.com/how-to-unlock-bootloader-on-motorola-moto-g84
You can unlock the bootloader, but they don’t provide the stock ROM for root, and not TWRP or custom ROM support for all but a select few of their phones.
I mean if you can unlock it, you can probably root it by patching the boot image
Do you have said boot image or a way to extract it without root?
Hm, it still looks a bit annoying that you have to go to their website and get Motorola’s blessing via a special unlock key, rather than doing it 100% on your own. But that looks more automated than in the past so maybe that’s an improvement. Thanks.
