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)?

    I general you need to flash either Magisk or KernelSU by patching to boot image or sideloading in the recovery.
    Motorola seems to change bootloader unlocking for every phone, so the easiest way would be making a Windows VM and just do that.
    I have found a CLI tool for flashing Qualcomm chips while in download mode, but there’s not really any documentation about it.
