Step 1: Unlock the Bootloader Settings

Before you dive into the rooting process, we suggest readers unlock the bootloader configuration of their phone first. The reason for that is you won’t be able to flash custom recovery over the motorola G pure. Therefore, it’s an essential task that you need to perform.

If you are performing these steps as the first timer, then we suggest you completely unlock the bootloader settings to avoid any trouble later on. You can also check our dedicated guide to access those system settings in a pretty skillful manner.

Note: If you directly install a custom recovery without unlocking the bootloader, the phone stuck into the bootloop. Thus, accomplish these steps with precision.

Now that you have finished the bootloader process, let’s head toward the phone settings and enable the developer so that we connect our phone to the computer in the upcoming procedure without any hassle.

Go to the Settings App and select About Phone.
Click on the Build Number (more than 10 times) and enter phone’s password.
With this, you have access to the developer settings.
Now, head toward the additional settings > developer mode.
