I have a lot of old phones that I never got rid of. Is there a definitive list of devices capable of being rooted? From what I understand, the bootloader is locked on all of them. How do I figure out how to root in the first place? The internet plagues me with scamware search results (useless “root tools”). Direct answers are welcome

    I’ve never had a device I wasn’t able to root, though more recently I haven’t found the need to root. Latest phone being a Pixel 7 Pro running GrapheneOS. Check XDA forums for rooting info on phones old and new.
