From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've rooted my android phone many years ago. Back then that was a different phone than I have now, and I was still using Windows.

I'm now trying to find a way to root my current phone (Motorola g62 5G), and have no idea how to do it through Linux. However, I seem to only be able to find instructions that are specific to windows.

How would I go about doing this on Linux (specifically Ubuntu)?

EDIT:

Thanks to a number of answers on here I've managed to find my way and rooted my phone. Thanks again, guys!

Follow instructions https://en-us.support.motorola.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a/ for unlocking bootloader firstly for flashing custom recovery u can use native adb and fastboot tools

P.S But for future please use this repo for getting information about how much vendor is evil https://github.com/melontini/bootloader-unlock-wall-of-shame

It makes me kinda uneasy to see Google way down the list... :/ This seems suspicious as fuck ! Not about the person who made the list, but when something so evil makes something so easy to unlock, make my eyebrows twitch !
