Prerequisites

Caution

Unlocking and flashing wipes all data and voids Motorola warranty permanently — even if you relock later. Proceed only on your own device.

1. Confirm you have tank

• Settings > About phone > Model: must be XT2407-1 / XT2407-2 / XT2407-3
• In fastboot: fastboot getvar product should report tank
• If you have Fusion / Pro / Ultra / Neo, stop. Builds here will brick your device.

2. Backup

• Copy photos, WhatsApp, 2FA codes off-device
• If already rooted: Neo Backup (free, open-source) or Swift Backup (paid — cloud backup needs premium) for app + data, otherwise manual copy via MTP / Google backup (unlocking wipes everything, and most backup apps need root first)
• Save IMEI, serial, stock build number (Settings > About) — needed for unbrick
• Charge to 60%+ and use a good USB-A to USB-C data cable (not charge-only)

3. On the phone

1. Settings > About > tap Build number 7x to enable Developer options
2. Settings > System > Developer options: enable OEM unlocking + USB debugging
3. Remove Google account + screen lock PIN if you want to avoid FRP lock after wipe
4. Insert SIM PIN removal recommended during flash to avoid lock prompts in recovery

4. On the laptop

Pick your OS:

Windows

winget install -e --id Google.PlatformTools

1. Install Motorola USB drivers (required): https://en-us.support.motorola.com/app/usb-drivers — reboot if prompted
2. Fallback: download https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools, unzip, and add the folder to PATH
3. Open a new PowerShell / Terminal and verify:

adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices

macOS

brew install android-platform-tools

1. No drivers needed
2. Fallback: download https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools, unzip, and add to PATH
3. Verify:

adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices

Linux

# Debian / Ubuntu
sudo apt install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

# Fedora
sudo dnf install android-tools

# Arch
sudo pacman -S android-tools

1. No drivers, but add udev rules so adb works without sudo (your distro’s android-udev-rules package), then replug the phone
2. If distro packages misbehave, use the official build: https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools
3. Verify:

adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices

5. Downloads checklist

• Stock firmware for your exact XT2407 variant (see Resources)
• Rescue and Smart Assistant (LMSA) installed as unbrick fallback
• Evolution X 12.2 zip for tank + verified checksum
• Magisk APK if you plan to root (see Root)
