Hi...
This is the tutorial to root any Moto G
To root any Moto G, three basic steps need to be followed... you can either do them manually or use a tool do them for you. It is advised to follow them manually so that if there's some bug in the tool you don't get into any trouble.
CAUTION - You will lose all data and files so better back them up.
For Google Play edition devices, the process is same and only the recovery.img file is different. For GPe CWM Advanced Edition recovery go here https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/ and select falcon_gpe and download the latest one.
For AT&T and Verizon models don't do anything written above. Just download the Towelroot app. Its a one click root app and doesn't require a PC. Itis trustworthy but is not guaranteed to work but you must give it a try since it won't do any harm and claims of never bricking a phone. Please reply with the result and your android and kernel version.It will probably not work on phones build after June 3 but you can give it a try. You can download it from the website https://towelroot.com
The three steps are :-
1) UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER
2) FLASHING CUSTOM RECOVERY
3) INSTALLING SuperSu.zip FILE THROUGH RECOVERY. (SuperSu is acknowledge as the best app to give superuser and root rights)
UNLOCKING THE BOOT LOADER - The instructions to unlock the boot loader are given in the official Motorola website here https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a . Don't be scared by their warnings.
UPDATE - There currently seems to be an issue with unlocking the bootloader on devices running 4.4.4 though it works for 4.4.2. The issue is with Motorola and is that, the unlock code given by the company is showing an error. They are fixing it and it may take some time though you can give it a try as it won't do any harm. Or you can downgrade the boot loader to 4.4.2 and then unlock it.
As confirmed by the Motorola agent, the problem of unlocking bootloader on 4.4.4 has been fixed
FLASHING CUSTOM RECOVERY :-
To flash a custom recovery, you need these things
1) PC and a USB data cable
2) Android SDK ( developer.android.com/sdk/index.html ) For flashing recovery only SDK is needed but it's your wish if you want to download the ADT bundle. After downloading and unzipping the sdk , open the SDK manager and download only the platform tools for this.. rest is your wish..... and separately download ADB tools and fastboot and extract them minimal-adb-and-fastboot.software.informer.com/1.1/
3) Recovery.img file - You can either use CWM foum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563599 or CWM advanced editionforum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639583 or TWRP forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2561757. EDIT - If your phone had come pre installed with 4.4.4 then use only CWM Advanced Edition. CWM Advanced Edition doesn't make backup on XT1033
4) Motorola drivers https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/97326/p/30,6720,9050
5) Enable USB Debugging mode in your phone by going to Settings-About Phone and then tap the build number until you get the toast 'You are a developer'. Now go to Settings again and you will see a new Developer Options there. Go there and enable USB debugging.
6) Have at least 25% of charge on your phone.
After getting all these things:-
1) Download the recovery.img file to your PC and copy paste it to android SDK/platform tools folder.
2) Boot your phone to fastboot mode by first switching it off and holding the volume down and power button for 3 seconds.
3) When in fastboot mode, connect your phone to pc, go to the platform tools folder, there pres shifft and right mouse click simultaneously and select 'open command prompt window here'.
4) In the command window enter
Code:
fastboot devices
If it shows a number and fastboot then we are good..
5) Then enter
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
( where in recovery.img the recovery is the name of your recovery file. Example if the name of recovery file is ABC then enter fastboot flash recovery ABC.img)
5) Press enter and if the command prompt window displays the message okay then the recovery is successfully flashed.
6) Now just boot your phone to recovery mode through fastboot mode by following the on screen instructions and in recovery mode select Reboot System Now to reboot your phone normally.
(see attached images below for screenshots)
INSTALLING SuperSu
To install SuperSu :-
1) Download SuperSu zip file download.chainfire.eu/452/SuperSU/ and transfer it to your phone
2) Reboot to recovery via fastboot.
3) Select install zip and select choose from SD card.
4) Locate the file and install it.
5) Now reboot your phone.
YUP.. YOU ROOTED YOUR PHONE!
Download any root checker app from the Play Store to check whether your phone is rooted or not.

I have a huawei p6 but I'm absolutely not satisfied with that and I bought a moto g for my girlfriend and that is awesome.
The only thing why I haven't bought the g for myself as well is the rooting. That time I didn't find an easy way to root it.
If it is a working method than I will buy the 4g verson with sd card support

I looked into it just now... Currently there's an issue with Motorola with unlocking the bootloader when on 4.4.4...As people say, the unlock code given my Motorola is showing an error... You can still try it.. maybe it's even fixed by now.. Even if it fails there wouldn't be any harm.. Though the unlocking works fine with 4.4.2... You can revert back to 4.4.2, unlock the bootloader and then update to 4.4.4... The thing will be same as you will lose all data and files when unlocking the bootloader and so in reverting to 4.4.2.....(Remember, only unlocking doesn't mean you won't recieve updates, you won't receive updates only if you flash a custom recovery.)
EDIT - I added it to the OP. Thanks for bringing it to attention.
And does this work for Verizon model

You have Verizon I see. The only you will probably face is unlocking the bootloader.. Oh, wait first let me laugh... lol...OK....At one point of time you couldn't unlock the bootloaders for AT&T and Verizon and then we were blessed by the 'one click root' app by the famous hacker geohot called TowelRoot. This app claims to root all the AT&T and Verizon devices with just a click. You don't even need a PC. Just download the app and in the app chick 'make it rain'. Though this is not guaranteed to work but must give a try as it won't do any harm but there's a chance of bricking the phone but you can easily recover from a soft brick by flashing the stock firmware.
Towelroot - https://towelroot.com/
P.S. - Please reply if you tried this and if it didn't work reply with your android version and kernel version. Well reply with your android version and kernel version anyway.

Sorry I didn't know that. Downgrading the bootloader is a very risky process.
What did you exactly do?
Hey! I have followed all the steps. When i flash de recovery.img, the command prompt says everything is ok, but when i try to reboot into recovery trough the fastboot, it just turns off! It dosn't rebot into recovery! Thanks man!

Please tell which android version your phone came preinstalled with and what recovery you used.
Also when you reboot to recovery, after the blank screen do you see the android logo lying down with a red triangle?

Well it doesnt go wrong like you think so my phone is actually not bricked.
But the command window says that the operation failed so i think something is wrong with this testdrive image from the moto forum.

Yeah they say, if you on 4.4.4 and want to unlock your bootloader you have to flash the motoboot_testdrive.img file wich downgrades the bootloader to i think it was called 40.15 or so after that you have to unlock your bootloader and then flash the motoboot 4.4.4 stock image so that you have the actual one but for me it failed while i try to flash this testdrive image

So basically you want to downgrade the bootloader and then unlock it?
Well if you are on KitKat you can downgrade the bootloader by flashing 4.3 , then unlocking the bootloader and then updating to KitKat
Thanks for the guide. I've already recommended it to someone who was having problems.

Thanks Meuuks13. This worked well.
Also, I've found that you can remove the "unlocked bootloader warning message" shown on boot-up by following the method in the Moto X forum:

This method described below is outdated and following the guide might end in a bootloop if users are currently using the latest firmware.
This is a guide on how to root the HTC One M9.
Your M9 must have an unlocked bootloader. There is currently not a way to unlock the bootloader, so unless your phone comes with an unlocked bootloader, you will need to wait until HTC updates www.htcdev.com to unlock the M9 bootloader.

Awesome! Thanks, I'll get a quick tutorial video up once I get my hands on an M9
FYI I'm pretty sure you can't root with the version of TWRP that's currently uploaded. It doesn't have writing to the system partition enabled. If you look in the recovery fstab, system is mounted as emmc.
You'll have to wait until an alternate version is uploaded for this to work. Someone will need to confirm whether rooting will completely break the ability to take an OTA too.
EDIT: There's also this disclaimer on the device page: "NOTE: Installing TWRP can break your ability to receive updates from HTC."
EDIT 2: The other question is whether unlocking the device will allow system to be written to at all in the OS, or only while in recovery. I think once some people have the device in their hands, some of these questions can finally be answered.

Hello I was able to unlock the bootloader from dev site and was able to install TWRP. I was able to install super SU and now i'm rooted!
here is my reddit post. http://www.reddit.com/r/htcone/comments/303ys2/just_got_my_hands_on_a_tmobile_htc_m9/
Worked for me
But to flash successfull recovery you have to boot to "htc download mode", the black background!
If you see white background you are on bootloader, here you are not able to flash TWRP Recovery, you will get the message "FAILED (remote: cannot flash this partition in s-on state)"
So boot to "download mode" an it work
trying this tomorrow.
Is there any way to virginize the device if I don't want it to be rooted anymore ?

Pull the stock recovery image before you flash TWRP. I neglected to do so (but I do have my Verizon device rooted with TWRP.
One problem, TWRP can't read or write to encrypted sdcards, either internal or removable.
My name is Harold and I'm a flashaholic.....

I got it from O2 Germany CID is O2_102
Three questions:
1. Do I really have to buy an SD card to do this?
2. How do you boot to download mode?
3. Should the bootloader be unlocked before or after installing TWRP and rooting, or does it not matter?
1. Every XDA developer has one..
2. Choose REBOOT from the shut down menu, then when display turns black - press and hold hardware button volume - ..
3. That will save you from frustration..

Unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP...
SuperSU 2.46 isn't getting root...
When flashing it appears to be successful...
But then when the phone reboots there is no root access...
SuperSU - gives this error
If you just upgraded to Android 5.0, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!
Anyone else have this problem or know a workaround.

How did you install SuperSU?
I put the Zip-File on internal Storage and boot from recovery and installed it.
I did not use the way about "adb push SuperSU-v2.46.zip /sdcard" because i don't have an SD-Card at moment.

I have not been on this site since posting my guide, i do want to let any future people reading this know that, I am not a professional. everything in this guide is using stuff from other peoples threads.... this thread is just step by step directions on how i rooted (and installed TWRP on) MY lg k7 (MetroPCs). Also i had to root before i unlocked the boot loader. Which is not safe, you should probably unlock the boot loader before you root, but i couldn't figure out how to unlock it without root access.

L) then type "fastboot getvar unlocked" if that doesn't work try "fastboot getvar" or "fastboot getvar unlock" to confirm if it is unlocked
(if non of the getvar commands work you did something wrong, and i wont be able to help you, but if you followed the tutorial you shouldn't have any issues as these are the exact steps i took)
M) then type "fastboot reboot"
LEAVE THE CMD OPEN OR YOU WILL HAVE TO REPEAT steps H-I
Step Ten: Flashing TWRP
A) go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/qa-metro-pcs-lg-k7-lgms330-t3331678 and click on the latest download for twrp for me it is BETA1
if the links on that page dont work then use the links here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66282525&postcount=42
B) extract the download into your SDK folder on your PC
C) in the sdk CMD window from Step nine
D) type "fastboot devices" - without qoutation
E) ~optional, HIGHLY RECOMENDED~
1)type fastboot "boot twrp-image-3.img" - this will boot up twrp WITHOUT flashing it, just so you can make sure everything is working right
in my case it was twrp-image-3.img check your twrp file name and replace fastboot boot twrp-image-3.img with
fastboot boot INSERT YOUR FILE NAME HERE.img
2)in twrp tap reboot>bootloader
F) when bootloader mode opens back up
G) type "fastboot flash twrp-image-3.img" or "fastboot boot INSERT FILE NAME HERE.img" depending on your file name
H) when finished flashing type "fastboot reboot"
Step eleven
A) follow instructions on step one
B) the reason you must do this is because when you flash TWRP it erases your entire phone and resets it

is this ok with the gapps 5.1 instsall .zip for twrp install or should i use a different? also, do you have a suggested camera app? awesome thread btw. Nevermind simple twrp install fixed everything.
I have tribute 5 and can't access bootloader or install SuperSU.....always fails.
How can I get this to work?
Today backup important files you need!
Is this a real method BC everybody having problems rooting this device so I ask can u make a video and add screenshots
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk
I can confirm this method works. The only different thing i did was purchase Supersume pro from playstore. Worked like it said it would. The Ls675 is rootable. But no bootloader unlock or bootloader at all for that matter. Im running MS330 with TWRP full root and have twrp backups and fastboot flashable backups via flashfire....

Screen shots of root, flashfire backups, and device info
While it does work I can find no method using the buttons to get into twrp all the instructions I find for recovery fail so I can only boot back to it after the phone boots, thus it's worthless at this point. Also the command is fastboot flash recovery imgagename.img and you'll need to remove kingroot from administrators to uninstall.
Anyone else been able to boot directly into twrp from the off position?

I'm no developer by any means but I have Linux and windows on my laptop. I'm familiar with kernel building on bunt and have the source code for MS330 on my laptop. I have a backup of my boot img as well. If you can get to fastboot u can probably flash my boot img if you want me to send it. I have recovery img as well which is twrp. Let me know if you have any ideas on what u need or i can do as far as possibly doing a fresh build kernel later tonight and getting a zImage out of it
Does anyone know a way to successfully root this phone? Not just recover?

Of other interest 5.1 is very dendent on Google apps and move app updates to the system via TB or Link2SD fails more than it succeeds, shows they moved but app inaccessible afterwards hence brick. Mine went down trying to integrate play services and reinstalling from adb didn't help. FYI if you relock the BL it'll lock the phone with a security error too. Moving play services causes unending error screens so you can't really see if it's done moving, but I waited a good 5 minutes before reboot. Issue on fails could have been the system not being r/w. Needless to say backup, backup, backup as I hadn't because I've never had a serious issue doing that and considered it a trivial task. Anyone had good success with integrating updates and cache? Anyone restored from twrp yet?

Can you figure out why we can't boot to recovery via hardware buttons? That's critical for tinkering and testing on the go since I always have my phone but not my laptop for booting into recovery with adb. Not sure exactly where to look, probably start with a search for the words "recovery" and "safe mode" for the buttons and "security error" in the boot.img files.

If your rooted u can dl a reboot recovery app on the play store I have one that works like a charm. But im gonna take a look through Linux at the kernel options using make menu_config and see if there's anything I can see in there.

Maybe just my experience, but regarding step 10. I had to have the twrp image in SDK>platform tools, also when you get to fastboot flash twrp-image-3.img, I couldn't get it to work, until I typed it as fastboot flash recovery twrp-image-3.img. Hope this helps anyone else getting errors during this part. Thanks for the writeup.
Hey Everyone....So I just have a question about the HTC BOLT and how to root it
So I guess I am little confused as to how do I go about this in terms of rooting it
My phone must be unlocked through the htc dev site correct? If so then I am good with that step, I also have seen many posts on how to root it but I just need one general site or a way on how to do it...Last thing I want to do is screw this up and brick the phone from reading multiple posts...So any information would def help me...Currently I am on Nougat 7.0
Thanks

you'll need to flash twrp from download mode, then boot into twrp & either flash SuperSU or Magisk v11.1
my preference is now Magisk, as it now has it's own root plus you can install magisk modules (mods or ROM) without breaking /system
Thanks for the information, So i went to the htc dev site to proceed on how to unlock bootload my phone and they mentioned about "fast boot' that is not a option that needs to be selected on my phone while in download mode ...So can i still unlock it with out that "fast boot " option?

you said u were good w/ that step so I didn't mention....fastboot is not an option in the menu, it's a tool...you need to use fastboot command to unlock bootloader & also to flash twrp
install this for fastboot: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Okay so I know the phone must be connected using the command terminals and to simplify this i would:
1- Use fastboot to get the phone unlocked using the code to unlock it then (NOT Choosing to flash a rom at all for my phone)
2- use use maglsk v11.1 or Super Su and follow the instructions while leaving the phone plugged into the PC
3- once done then go to the play store and update magisk manager
4 - Check any rooted apk via the play store to verify if your phone is rooted
If there is something that i am missing please let me know. Much appreciations so far getting me to this point.

after unlocking bootloader, you will need to flash twrp (fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img), the twrp.img needs to be in you sdktools folder on pc, after flashing, then boot into twrp...from download mode, choose reboot to bootloader, then reboot to recovery. once in twrp, you should probably leave /system read only, then copy either supersu or magisk to sd card, and choose install from main menu of twrp....once done, boot device. if using magisk, update from store
u only need to connect to pc when entering fastboot cmds

Look I know you know what your doing I just barley got into rooting my android devices so my question is will this Brick my phone because last time I tried kingroot and it lock everything. I am scared to lose my warranty on my phone and want to know it will work. I had to take my phone to a sprint tech store last time to get it fixed so I was wondering if you could make a video of how to do it. Thanks for your time and effort Sam.

You will lost your warranty anyway, if you open the bootloader via HTCdev.

1st...as far as warranty goes, HTC is pretty good about repair even if you unlock the bootloader. So if you unlock bootloader, then flash TWRP & root, I always recommend restoring to stock before having any warranty work done.
sorry I don't do videos, but I'm always willing to help out...it's really not very difficult, the risk of a brick is very low if u just follow the instructions...if you're just looking for root, here are the basic steps:
1. unlock bootloader via htcdev.com (you'll have to create a account)
-when selecting the device, choose "all other supported models"
-you'll need to install drivers to pc to communicate to phone, see "required resources" to the left of step 1
-you don't need to install SDK but you will need the fastboot binary in step 4
-at step 5 make sure you are communicating w/ the device by using the cmd fastboot devices, it should list your device in the output
-follow the remaining steps to unlock
2. once bootloader is unlocked, boot back into download mode to flash twrp (custom recovery)
-download latest twrp from here: https://dl.twrp.me/aca/ copy the twrp.img to the folder that has the fastboot binary
-use this cmd to flash twrp: fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-aca.img
-it flashes pretty quick, then boot to bootloader, then boot to recovery
3. 1st time u boot twrp it will ask if u want to keep /system read only, if u plan to stay stock w/ only root, then keep read only
-I always recommend to make a system & boot image backup just in case
-flash MagiskSU or SuperSU, I prefer Magisk
the Sprint ROM has a lot of bloat, if you're interested, I have a ROM posted that cleans all that junk up along with a lot of useful mods, with a stock look

IT IS NOT THAT MUCH HARD
i found a way to do it
>>First download latest magisk apk
Link - https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjAAegQIAxAC&usg=AOvVaw2Xrf3Ndu6oqxqBK9TKilSx
>>Then download stock rom here

Sog1qkyLy9lXieK2vR&cf=1&cshid=1621397379367
[Sorry but u cant use latest firmware cuz its not available]
>>Then extract it and get boot.img
>>Patch it using latest magisk manager
Now lets go to install it
U can use pc if u have but if u dont then follow these steps
Share firmware file and patched boot file to other device and install bugajear app on other device [link- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.sisik.hackendebug]
>>Then open ur tab go to settings enable developer option and then enable oem unlocking and usb debugging on it
>>Enable usb debugging on other device also
>> Connect both through otg and then allow permission then reboot ur tab to bootloader [power+volume up button] u can use app also for that
NOW LETS UNLOCK BOOTLOADER FIRST [it will eras ur data take a backup]
>>Open bugajear after u boot into bootloader
>>Go on last option with sign of electricity and press on [<>] bottom right of ur other device
>>Type [fastboot flashing unlock] then run it
>>Choose yes on ur device with volume buttons [ sometime u press right volume button but it doesn't work then try other]
>>It will erase ur device but ur bootloader is now unlocked now just reboot to bootloader again
>> Now type [ fastboot flash boot ] click on embed sign on top right corner and then link ur file and run it
>>Now just extract ur firmware on other device too and get these files
System.img
Vendor.img
And flash them this is really needed or u end up in bootloop
And tada ur all set just reboot ur device and ur rooted
I am also tryibg to get twrp but it will take sometime

My main goal is to use the tablet as an LCD display for my PC sensors.
I need root to auto enable tethering on usb plug.
Device is still rebooting from the flash for now, but I think it should have done the trick for my purpose.
@Aks BRAR SOTHA Did you manage to prevent Android from updating ?
It tries to update and update fails. Then try again and again..
Edit: For my purpose, I can just disable WiFi, and no more update. But this is not the elegant way :/

Thats the big problem preventing it is not possible
If u are using internet from other device u can shift from wifi hotspot to bluetooth hotspot

I just found this thread and thanks for the instructions. I was able to successfully root my tablet using this method. Of course it kept wanting to update and failed during the process so I thought I would try to get the update patched...
with the device rooted (with the old firmware) allow the update to download
get a shell with `adb shell` and then `su -` (approve the root request on the device)
the zip file is located in `data/data/com.lenovo.ota/fileslenovoota` unzip it and copy boot.img to somewhere the magisk app can find (I used `/sdcard/Download/`)
patch the boot.img with magisk
use adb pull to get the patched img onto your computer
boot into fastboot and flash the original boot.img, system.img, vendor.img from the zip provided above (in the original instructions)
reboot the tablet. The update should now be able to complete
once complete, reboot into fastboot again and flash the updated patched boot.img
reboot and you should be on the latest version and be rooted.
I've also attached the patched boot.img from the update
