Yes, of course... All retail Moto's on Marshmallow have an unlockable bootloader and are rootable. Just do your homework, the new systemless method will make life much easier than it was over a year ago.
A link in my signature may help (hint, hint)
Yep, mine came with the May security and was able to root and unlock bootloader
Thanks for your help guys.

Are you sure that this will work? I didn't see anything on the security patch being supported? He only listed a T-Mobile edge security patch

The root kernel listed will work with all version.of the os you root, 6.0.1 or 7.0. There have been no posts about certain security updates not running root right, just the posts about supersu updates causing glitches. You'll be fine
So just to understand, security updates are irrelevant if the android version matches?
It's been awhile since I've rooted anything, just trying to get the basics down to avoid a brick.

Yeah. The better news is that using Odin and flashing any of the flushable packages through Odin for any carrier will not brick your phone as long as it is a non-Chinese snapdragon variant. So vzw, unlocked, AT&T...whatever your flavor. Devs have hybrid roms that run without root and provide some customization as well.
just did this, sorry was away because of work. say's "custom unlock" now so it worked with no issues! Thank you!!!
@Dirtydcs
Thank you for posting that it worked helps keep info up to date for others.
I just got a SM-G930V from verizion and also have Android Version 7.0, I'm at Security patch level May 1, 2017 and have Baseband version G930VVRS4BQC9 and was wondering if this was the same baseband version you where running? When you rooted.
Thanks
Finger print issue can be fixed by just clearing the prints off your phone
I am thinking about getting this phone as it’s on sale now. Is the phone be able to be unlocked and rootable out of the box? What if it’s updated to latest version? Will it still be able to be unlocked and rootable?
Theoretically, yes, you can root, till you are on Oreo with June Security Patch. And you have to pay for that. Nokia had disabled the bootloader unlock vulnerability with the August patch.
My device came with August patch, unlucky me xD.
However, I know one guy who managed to convince Nokia service centre to downgrade his device to Oreo June Patch, back from Pie. He's also rooted and flashed GSI on his 6.1 Plus.
hello,
how to root an S8 G950F with android 9 (German official version G950FXXU4DSBA) and security patch of February 1, 2019, whose security activated by mistake when installing TWRP and restart the phone, now if I try to flash with odin the TWRP tells me that you can only flash samsung official software. Is there any way to disable this indicator that my phone is rooted, even if it is not? currently does not open samsung pay, samsung healt and samsung pass. or there is some method of rooting with ADB or other software, which can bypass the security protection.
Thank you for your attention.
Hi,
1. Is there a way to backup / restore apps with their data without root? Does Helium work well on this phone for backup/restore? I noticed Helium was last updated on Google play 7 March 2019.
I have the H990DS with stock Android 8.0.0 with the April 1st 2019 security patch. SW version: V20b-SEA-XX. I have a Windows 10 PC.
2. Alternatively, is there a fairly safe way to root this phone with not much chance of bricking it? I understand that I need to probably downgrade to a 2016 stock android ROM. Can I downgrade, root it and then bring it back to Android 8 while keeping root? I've had experience rooting a RedMi Note 2 and some other phones, but the rooting instructions for the H990DS seem scattered all over the Internet and seem very long and complicated -- I'd rather not brick my phone. I have not been able to find a rooting guide for H990DS SEA with April 1st 2019 security patch.
I saw a guide in reddit (see below) but it was written in Oct 2018 which is much earlier than my phone's current software of April 2019.
My main reasons to root are to be able to use Titanium Backup to backup and restore individual apps and their data. Blocking ads would also be nice, but is not essential for me. I'm not interested in custom roms at this stage -- would prefer that all the features are working and don't want to have to do a lot of fiddling
Thanks in advance!
