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)?

    No, you can do it via the Linux fastboot adb tools. You typically have to paste in a udev rule so system sees the phone as expected. Or if you have a Pixel theGraphenesOS web based setup is easiest, you don’t need any knowledge just click the buttons on the webpage

      Did you read my comment?

      If you are referring to fastboot oem unlock, there are almost no phones that don’t have dual or even triple bootloader partitions, so that won’t work by itself.

      click the buttons on the web page

      I wouldn’t trust a chrome USB TTY permission to touch anything hardware of mine.

        You can flash twrp or download app to phone. Windows is sefinetly not a requirement because I only have Linux machines
