Root & install TWRP recovery on your Moto E3 Power

Motorola launched its Moto E3 Power smartphone in August 2016 and it has been quite a successful device since then. However, the TWRP recovery for the device made it to the official channels only after a few months, but this is no longer a problem. Quite the opposite, I am here to show you how simple is to root and install TWRP recovery on your Moto E3 Power.

TWRP is a fully featured custom recovery, very easy to use, and it has builds for most popular devices, so be sure that you are not making any mistake with this choice. Even more, rooting is fantastic, but to get there, there are some things that you have to do!

Preparatory steps:

• Go to Settings » About phone » Build number and tap it 7 times to enable Developer options on your device. After doing that, return to Settings »Developer options and enable USB Debugging and OEM unlocking;
• Make sure to download the Minimal ADB and Fasboot Setup and install it on your computer;
• Also install the USB drivers correctly;
• Back up all your personal files and important apps, photos, videos and contacts because all these will be deleted during this process;
• Even if you might be in a hurry, you still have to charge your Moto E3 Power battery up to 70%.

Note: I am not responsible if you make any mistakes that might damage your Moto E3 Power. People often get in the situation of a soft brick as a result of what they do. Their phones freeze on the Android boot screen, get stuck in a boot loop, or just boot straight to recovery. Let’s just hope that you won’t get there too and as long as something happens when you turn it on, it’s soft bricked, you could still have a chance to get things back to normal.

Your device is now eligible for getting root access and the TWRP recovery. Here’s how you can do it:
