Is anybody trying the root this phone?

Is anybody trying to root this phone? I just bought this phone to learn android development and up my skills in it. I currently don't have that much experience that I can root a device myself, but I would like to learn.

Anyways, Please let us know if you are developing a way to root the device. I would be happy to help in every possible way I could.

It shouldn't be hard to port my surnia (2015 Moto E LTE) TWRP recovery to this device (osprey). Just change the device name to osprey and update the resolution in BoardConfig.mk

See my device tree for it:
https://github.com/sultanqasim/android_device_motorola_surnia/tree/twrp

I can make a build of my recovery with these minor modifications if you're willing to try it out. I can't promise it will work and not mess up your device, since I don't have it to test on.

I will give it a try since we have factory images now.
