I have a Moto E and I want to root it so I can have more access. I can't link my SD card to my apps or connect SD or hotspot because it says I don't have root permission.

    Did you try searching on web? It could be that you tried something but didn't work, and it's better to detail your research so that the answerer can avoid it suggesting at last. Also, have you tried Methods/apps in this rooting index?

  • of course, if you've improved your answer, the previous downvote should be removed. So, there you go. May 31, 2015 at 16:46
  • Is this process OS dependent? I mean my Moto E (condor) has Lollipop 5.1 as the OS. So will the above process work for me?
