I have a lot of old phones that I never got rid of. Is there a definitive list of devices capable of being rooted? From what I understand, the bootloader is locked on all of them. How do I figure out how to root in the first place? The internet plagues me with scamware search results (useless “root tools”). Direct answers are welcome

    Usually if you have the boot.img file for your current instance of Android you can root most devices using magisk. Make sure to turn off auto update though
