Motorola One Action Overview

The Motorola One Action is an Android device from Motorola, released in 2019. It combines the Exynos 9609 (10 nm) and a 6.3-inch display, running Android 9.0 (Pie). This page tracks its full specifications, root status, and the bootloader and recovery notes that apply to it.

Root the Motorola One Action

The Motorola One Action is a 2019 Android device from Motorola. It runs the Exynos 9609 (10 nm), flashed through Samsung’s Download Mode with Odin rather than fastboot. Shipped software: Android 9.0 (Pie), upgradable to Android 11, Android One. For this model the realistic path is: the brand-specific unlock described below, followed by Magisk via patched boot image (fastboot). Typical hands-on time is 30–60 minutes.

Difficulty

Easy — well-supported device

Typical time

30–60 minutes

Method

Magisk via patched boot image (fastboot)

Bootloader unlock on Motorola

Motorola issues bootloader unlock codes through its official website; the process is free and takes minutes. Some carrier variants are excluded from the program.

Platform notes

Samsung devices have no fastboot mode regardless of chipset — all flashing runs through Download Mode with Odin, and the Magisk payload is prepared from the firmware AP file rather than a bare boot image.

Before you start

  • Bootloader unlocking factory-resets the device on almost all models — back up everything first.

FAQ

Can I root the Motorola One Action?

Yes. After enabling OEM Unlocking and unlocking the bootloader, root is Magisk via patched boot image (fastboot). The unlock notes on this page describe the exact Motorola procedure.

Does the Motorola One Action support custom recovery (TWRP)?

That depends on community support for this exact model — verify a build exists for its codename before flashing anything. TWRP is not required for root: Magisk installs by flashing a patched boot image via fastboot.

Will root the Motorola One Action void my warranty?

Motorola will generally treat a rooted Motorola One Action as outside warranty while it is modified. Restoring full stock firmware before a service visit usually restores normal treatment in practice, and consumer law in some regions (such as the EU) may still cover defects unrelated to root.

What Android version does the Motorola One Action run?

It runs Android 9.0 (Pie), upgradable to Android 11, Android One. The specifications table on this page lists the full software details.
