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

    if you can unlock the bootloader then the ways of how you root your phone is only limited by your phone’s architectural design

    otherwise if your bootloader isnt unlockable whatsoever, then its better to keep it
