 ### How to Root and Unlock the Bootloader on Google Pixel 4a and 4a 5G



The Google Pixel 4a and 4a 5G are popular choices for users seeking a high-quality Android experience at a more affordable price. These devices offer a smooth user experience and a great camera, but if you want to further customize your Pixel 4a or 4a 5G, unlocking the bootloader and rooting your device can give you more control. This guide will walk you through the process of unlocking the bootloader and rooting your Google Pixel 4a and 4a 5G.


#### **Disclaimer:**

Unlocking the bootloader and rooting your device will void your warranty and can lead to potential risks, including bricking your phone if not done properly. Proceed with caution and ensure you have backed up all important data before starting.


### **Step 1: Unlocking the Bootloader**


1. **Backup Your Data:**

   - Unlocking the bootloader will erase all data on your device. Make sure to back up important files, including contacts, photos, and app data.


2. **Enable Developer Options:**

   - Go to **Settings** > **About Phone**.

   - Tap on **Build Number** seven times until you see a message indicating that Developer Options are enabled.


3. **Enable OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging:**

   - Go to **Settings** > **System** > **Developer Options**.

   - Enable **OEM Unlocking** and **USB Debugging**.


4. **Install ADB and Fastboot on Your PC:**

   - Download and install the [ADB and Fastboot tools](https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools) from the official Android developer site.


5. **Boot into Fastboot Mode:**

   - Power off your Pixel 4a or 4a 5G.

   - Press and hold the **Volume Down** and **Power** buttons simultaneously until the Fastboot Mode screen appears.


6. **Connect Your Phone to the PC:**

   - Use a USB cable to connect your phone to your PC.


7. **Unlock the Bootloader:**

   - Open a Command Prompt or Terminal window on your PC.

   - Enter the following command to check if your device is detected:

     ```

     fastboot devices

     ```

   - If your device is listed, unlock the bootloader with:

     ```

     fastboot flashing unlock

     ```

   - Confirm the unlock action on your phone when prompted. This will erase all data on the device.


8. **Reboot Your Phone:**

   - After unlocking the bootloader, reboot your phone using:

     ```

     fastboot reboot

     ```


### **Step 2: Rooting the Device**


1. **Download the Necessary Files:**

   - Download the latest version of **TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project)** for the Pixel 4a or 4a 5G from the [official TWRP website](https://twrp.me/Devices/).

   - Download the **Magisk zip file** for rooting from the [official Magisk GitHub page](https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk).


2. **Flash TWRP Recovery:**

   - Boot your device into Fastboot Mode again.

   - Open a Command Prompt or Terminal window on your PC.

   - Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the TWRP image file.

   - Flash TWRP using the following command:

     ```

     fastboot flash recovery <twrp-image-filename>.img

     ```

   - Replace `<twrp-image-filename>` with the actual filename of the TWRP image.


3. **Boot into TWRP Recovery:**

   - Use the **Volume Down** and **Power** buttons to select **Recovery Mode** from the Fastboot menu.


4. **Transfer Magisk to Your Phone:**

   - While in TWRP, connect your phone to the PC.

   - Transfer the Magisk zip file to your phone’s internal storage.


5. **Install Magisk:**

   - In TWRP, go to **Install** and navigate to the Magisk zip file.

   - Select the Magisk zip file and swipe to confirm the installation.


6. **Reboot Your Phone:**

   - After installation is complete, reboot your phone.


### **Verification and Final Steps**


1. **Verify Root Access:**

   - Once your phone boots up, you should see the Magisk Manager app installed.

   - Open Magisk Manager to verify root access and ensure that everything is functioning correctly.


2. **Reinstall Your Apps:**

   - Restore your backed-up data and reinstall your apps.


By following these steps, you will have successfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted your Google Pixel 4a or 4a 5G. This process will enable you to fully customize your device, install custom ROMs, and use root-specific applications. Always proceed with caution and be aware of the risks associated with modifying your device.
