Moto G5 Plus Toolkit

This is a desktop app that combines the awesomeness of ES2015 and XDA. The app allows you to unlock the bootloader and root a Motorola G5 Plus smartphone with a few button clicks. It's built with Electron and hence will work on Windows, macOS and Linux operating systems.

The UI is adapted from Electron API Demos. Read License

Using

You can download the latest release for your operating system or build it yourself (see below).

Building

You'll need Node.js installed on your computer in order to build this app.

This project depends on electron-usb

After installation of NPM dependencies build the same

$ ./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

# On Windows if you have trouble, try:
.\node_modules\.bin\electron-rebuild.cmd

Extra note - building on Windows

1. Make sure you install all the prerequisite build tools for Windows Refer Prerequisite section here

2. Set the VisualStudio version

npm config set msvs_version=2013

3. If you encounter 'timespec': 'struct' type redefinition error comment out the following lines from header file

 struct timespec
    {
        time_t tv_sec;  // Seconds - >= 0
        long   tv_nsec; // Nanoseconds - [0, 999999999]
    };

and rebuild again.
