Lenovo's Moto phones
- ldmosquera 3y agoI recently got Lenovo Moto G7 Plus (not recent but recent enough for their purpose), because LineageOS fully supports them [1]. Then I found out to unlock the bootloader I had to: 1. get a string via a `fastboot` command 2. create a motorola.com account 3. paste string in some motorola.com page to get an "unlock code" emailed IF Motorola decides your device is "unlockable" 4. `fastboot oem unlock UNLOCK_CODE` 5. connect phone to the Internet and wait between 3 and 7 days [2] (turned out to be 3 or 4) Until I did all that shit, the option to unlock the bootloader in system settings was grayed out. Afterwards the device works well, but it was a terrible experience and I DO NOT recommend Motorola devices for rooting based on this.
