Root Moto Edge 60/Pro Android 15 using Magisk

Root Moto Edge 60/Pro Android 15– Rooting the Moto Edge 60 or Moto Edge 60 Pro running Android 15 using Magisk gives you complete control over your device, enabling advanced customisation, ad-blocking, performance tweaks, and access to root-only apps. Magisk is a popular and systemless root method that doesn’t alter the system partition, making receiving OTA updates and passing SafetyNet checks easier. Before beginning, ensure your bootloader is unlocked and all critical data is backed up, as the process may wipe your device. This guide will walk you through installing Magisk via a patched boot image, a reliable method that works specifically for the Android 15 firmware on the Moto Edge 60 series. With root access, you can unlock your Motorola device’s full potential without compromising stability.

After rooting, you will lose official updates and must manually update your mobile. So, before proceeding with the process, you should know why you need to do it.

We thank XDA Developer- topjohnwu and gost_Nava (Who successfully tested this method). Without their hard work, we couldn’t have created this method. Coming to RootRoot, you should have a proper reason and know what you are doing. Yes, with 8 GB RAM and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor, you can use this mobile for basic tasks with RootRoot for 2-3 Years if you use it correctly.
