how i rooted my motorola and installed linux in it.
- NOTE you will lose all data, so back up everything before doing any of the steps
- unlock bootloader

$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data$ fastboot oem unlock EBK4NJO35ISPQTNGYWGO
- get stock boot.img file from devices
- https://www.droidwin.com/extract-boot-img-directly-from-device-without-downloading-firmware/
- below are commands from link
$ adb reboot recovery $ adb shell $ dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img $ exit $ adb pull /sdcard/boot.img stock_boot.img - Once your device boots up, install the Magisk App and patch this boot.img file via it. Doing so shall give you the magisk_patched.img file, which you could then flash via Fastboot Commands and hence root your device! https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#patching-images
$ adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched_[random_strings].img
- Flash the magisk.zip file https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfdfZq-h20k
- Flash the magisk_patched file
$ fastboot flash boot /path/to/magisk_patched.img
- reboot
- confirm in magisk app, everything is installed fine
- confirm using root checker app root is enabled, (grant access in the pop up or in the magisk app)
I did lot of mistakes leading to non roots, boot stuck in android logo, boot stuck in TWRP (that was scary) and some more i don't remember.
I recovered by booting to recovery and do factory reset data and then start over.
Note TWRP imsage cannot be flashed in motorola one, instead we just boot temporarily in that.
