Help How do I root Moto Edge 20 Pro (2021)

[SpaceXplorer_8042]

I want to root my Moto Edge 20 Pro 2021 (XT2153-1 pstar) since Motorola has ended regular updates for the device. How do I root my device though? I believe I need a custom recovery to install Magisk, and I don't really know or trust any web results so far. TWRP is the only custom recovery I know of, but they never developed one for this model.

not sure on @Dannydet's link, if that is for your exact model.

but i did find this:

Install LineageOS on pstar | LineageOS Wiki

wiki.lineageos.org

its for lineage os and it comes with its own custom recovery. this one is specifically for your model. please read the instructions fully before attempting to root the device. and ask any questions here if you have them.

and there is an umofficial twrp recovery, if you want to use that instead:

......also make sure you have a new or backup phone, just in case something goes wrong when you root your Motorola

Nah don't need to go to that lengths. I rooted phones and never had a backup phone. The main thing is to do your research first. And read, read, read, and then read some more.
