for those who want to debloat without root ....
first search in your browser: download "APP MANAGER" for your architecture and install it
second: download the sdk tools and open the cmd in the same folder and type: adb tcpip 5555 and then with your wi-fi connected go to the device settings ---> about the device and scroll down until you find the ip address and get it your ip (ex: 192.168.0.x) and now in adb type: adb connect 192.168.0.x and go back to the app.
bingo you have access to uninstall apps/force close/freeze/clear ram and etc

Hey, I finally found a forum about this phone, I really need help! recently I decided to use GSI and ROOT, but I can't unlock the bootloader, it turns out that I did all the necessary steps to start the process, and even using the command "fastboot devices" my smartphone is recognized normally, but when adding any other unlock command like the variants and the original command on the Motorola website "fastboot unlock" does not work, an error appears every time!
After a lot of research, I only found in two places that the possible cause of this error is that smartphones with mediatek processors could not be unlocked (including smartphones from phone operators), after that, I started researching about doing this unlock through the drivers and everything else from mediatek, but the most recent forum I found was from 2021 and even doing all the steps, in the unlock request command, I have to put my cell phone in "BOOM" mode I don't know what that is, but using the logic of the steps in the blog it would be to enter fastbootd/bootloader mode, but in this case, the command doesn't recognize it and gives an error calling "preloader [lib] error name" after that, I entered the windows "device manager" and the driver was as "android adb interface" I changed it to "preloader adb mediatek" (I don't remember the exact name, but I did it from a video I found on youtube), but when I finished it went back to the previous one.
In short, there are only old contents of these processes, and the links provided are obviously old, and I haven't found any "original" place where I can find the drivers and all the necessary files in the most recent version, which is why I think this error can be the influence of their old version. Furthermore, in one of these videos I saw that some people use mediatek software (graphical interface without commands), and I would like to try, but unfortunately, as I said before, they are old videos with old links and because they are in an old version I can't I wanted to test this method, not to mention that there are more recent videos (less than a year old) but they don't provide any link to the software and I can't find anything on the internet, so I need help!

For more details I will leave the characteristics of my smartphone:

Motorola: Moto E22
OS: Android 12 (Go Edition)
RAM: 2GB
Storage: 32GB
CPU: MT6765H
Architecture: armeabi-v7a/armeabi

Additional information from apps I used to find out what things my smartphone supports:


Treble Info App:

Project Treble;
VNDK 31;
System as Root;
Seamless updates;
Dynamic Partitions DSU;
GSI: system-arm32_binder64-ab.img.xz.

Try MTK Client.

Brom mode consists of being the last case of access to the device.
on my device I access using the combinations:
pressing all buttons except power and I do the mtk client detect command and quickly press power and insert the usb cable

From this method, using MTK Client, is there a chance that the device will become unusable? I ask this because I'm afraid the device will turn into a brick

Hello, so, I don't think so, because in the process of unlocking in this mode I couldn't, but the process of erasing the data which is a command before unlocking, my phone is working normally, it's as if it had just been reformatted.

I understand, is there any method that can unlock the bootloader and is 100% effective? without using the MTK Client?
Yes, depending on the manufacturer's brand, there are several videos of different methods, unfortunately I tried this one because my Motorola wasn't working using the Motorola command.

Well, I tried to use the command that Motorola provides (I have a Moto E22 128GB/4GB), but because this device doesn't support their bootloader unlocking program, I didn't get anything.

link for logo.zip from post #2 is dead. If anyone wants to remove the unlocked logo, download a stock firmware, extract the logo.bin

Open it up with a hex editor and change the values at logo_unlocked to match what logo_boot has, then flash as instructed. In my case, RETCA_XT1023_4.4.4_KXC21.5-40_cid14

00 4A 04 00 66 5E 02 00
TO
00 02 00 00 FF 0B 04 00

If you use a different firmware, your values may be different

this is because this tutorial is for a moto e1 and your phone is a moto e40, very different both from hardware and from software.
