One-click-root in Moto G5 XT1672

[vanhead]

Would there be a way to do one-click-root on the Motorola Moto G5 (XT1672) or another way that is easy and does not do a factory reset? Thanks!

I really don't know how this is going from root very well, but as I understand it, you need to unlock the bootloader of the device (which requires a factory reset). If you already have the bootloader unlocked, try KingRoot, The truth is the only root of a click that I know, I have not really tried it on this device, but on an old phone, and it worked fine. The only problem I have had and I do not know if it is the fault of the device or KingRoot, and is that when I try to uninstall an application which I gave it the root permissions, the phone restarts, to uninstall an application I had to deny it permissions and then I could uninstall it, I repeat, I do not know if it is a problem that only happens to me

Rooting the phone does not require a factory reset but unlocking the bootloader does

So if you haven't unlocked the bootloader you will have to factory reset it during the process

If the bootloader is already unlocked you do not need to factory reset your device again in order to root it

Magisk should be the only way you should root your device - do not use other methods like kingroot as this has bloat and is not systemless (meaning it alters the system partition)
You need to root with magisk in order to maintain the system partition in its original state in order to pass basic integrity & to be able to pass cts profile (may need a magisk module) and to hide the fact you are rooted from apps that will not work if your device is rooted

Thank you for your help. I tried several One-click-root, none worked, so I researched, they only work on android 7.
Could you tell me if it is possible to Downgrade from Android 8.1 to 7 without unlocking the bootloader? All the videos I find, the bootloaders are already unlocked.

As mentioned before - you cannot root a device without unlocking the bootloader!

Why do you want a one click root? They are buggy & full of bloatware

Magisk should be the only method you should be using to root a device - either flashing through twrp or by patching the kernel and flashing the patched image through fastboot

What ever method you choose you need an unlocked bootloader to root!

Why would you want to downgrade? You can flash all parts of a firmware image except gpt & bootloader but again you might need an unlocked bootloader to do this but I don't see the point

In fact, since i need to unlock the bootloader to root, for now, it wouldn't be a good option for me.

But there are apps that I really need and that don't work correctly on Android versions above Nougat, if I could get Downgrade without losing data, that would help me immensely for now.

Is there a possibility that I can downgrade to android 7 with the locked bootloader ? What can go wrong? Brick?

You would have to format data - it would bootloop otherwise and I've already said. Flash all parts of firmware except gpt and bootloader however it may not flash as your bootloader is not unlocked

If the flashing goes wrong and your bootloader is not unlocked you will not be able to recover the device without taking it to a repair shop

My advice just don't bother - if you want to mod your phone unlock the bootloader!

And what app doesn't work above nougat?
