Okay, so I have tested many different root methods on my Moto G. Somehow I managed to screw them all up! So here is how I got my root working. This method should work on Jelly Bean AND KitKat. This is my first guide, so if anything is missing, please notify me. DON'T GUESS! ask others for clarification. So far this is a Windows guide, I am unsure if this will work on Mac or Linux...
Code:
#include
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
Notice: None of these files are my own, not even the method. I just took different files and methods and messed with them until I was able to get root.
Okay, so here we go.
Files Needed:
My root tools
ADB Tools - make sure to add to your Window's Path (step 4 and on)
Moto G drivers
Be sure to place "supersu.motog.zip" on the root of your device
Directions:
1)Unlock your bootloader
2)Reboot into Bootloader
3)Flash Logo Fix
4)Flash TWRP or CWM
5)Reboot into Recovery
6)Flash "supersu.motog.zip"
7)Reboot

you write "4) Select "supersu.motog.zip" "
but where is it? I cna't find on my phone.
If I need to transfer what I downloaded, I don't know how.
I can't transfer to my phone, because I can't chose on usb mass storage , because that is nowhere.
I downloaded, the widget, but it works only rooted device...
I try turn off, and plug usb and turn on, but I don't have usb mass storage nowhere.
Sorry but this 4.3 system is strange to me.

Thank you I didn't include CWM because when I tried it, it didn't identify any of my zip files... I will update my Root Tools and OP with this information.

Thanks!
Excellent guide! The other methods did not work for me but this did.

Glad you included that bit. Getting this part to work took near as long as the rest.

Ok, I found the way.
There is no USB Mass Storage mode on my Moto G.
I check on www.android.com/filetransfer and I need a file on Mac OS X.
Thank you very much!

Since this is a Motorola thing, there's no way of getting warranty back right? Not even relocking... I'm considering on doing it... (Sorry I come from Sony Ericsson devices which I used to relock and voila, warranty is on)

I find it doubtful that anyone will bother with 2ndinit and other irritating hacks if you can unlock the bootloader so trivially.
root without unlocked bootloader generally requires an exploit to be found in Android (or potentially a driver) and those have gotten increasingly more rare...

from @Entrophy512 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583652)
Flashing bootloaders is a dangerous operation - it's one of the few ways you can hardbrick your device.
THIS IS TEMPORAL , you take the risk.

It's possible for other phones with bl locked. Boot from recovery, w/o flash it, only boot from a custom recovery, from here flash su zip.
I read here that on 4.3 using one of the modaco guides, omitting unlocking bl part, someone rooted his phone w/o unlocking bootloader.

Put it in you OP this is only for Unlocked boot loader if someone flashes doomloads boot.img on a locked boot loader they'll brick there devices
getting root on unlocked boot loader is easy but locked boot loaders the problem

First you download the .690 FTF from this forum, there is a post about it.
Then you use flashtoool (there are several posts, just google, how to use it)
Then download fastboot(also just google it and download, you also find tutorials) and install it.
Then google for DooMLord boot.img and download it
Put it in the same folder as fastboot and use SHIFT-Right mouse click and open CMD and type this, while your phone is in fastboot mode (also google how to)
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Download SuperSU (also google is your friend) and put it on internal or external storage
Afterwards you boot your device, during the first few seconds hold the volume up key, a menu will pop up
You choose install zip(? not sure how it is called)
Navigate to the folder you put SuperSU and install it
Then you turn of your phone
You use flashtool again, choose the FTF you downloaded in step 1, and flash it again, BUT this time you exclude(little box on the right when you choose the ftf you want to flash) EVERYTHING except kernel
DONE! Happy root!
Maybe someone can find all the requiered stuff =)

[ROOT]How to get root Moto G 2015 With Android Marshmallow 6.0 (worked in XT1541)

:fingers-crossed:How to get root Moto G 2015 With Stock Android Marshmallow 6.0 (XT1541)​
Hi guys. Now I have a Moto G 2015 XT1541 with previously unlocked bootloader (following Motorola Guide described here, be careful unlocking bootloader wipes everything!) with recently installed Europe Retail Stock ROM MM 6.0, but i was having some issues trying to install TWRP 3.0 and SuperSU 2.65....until now.
With latest SuperSU you will get bootloop, and probably you need to reinstall the stock rom completely.........but... ....This method works fine!
Try it yourself on XT1540, XT1542, XT1543, XT1544 and XT14548 variants
So, I have used TWRP twrp-osprey-2.8.7-r7.img for the recovery and Super SU Beta 2.62 (BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip) to get root on my device.
Get TWRP recovery and ROOT
Step 0: enter to developer options (tap 7 times the build number) and select Allowing USB debubbing and Allow OEM unlock options
Step 1: install TWRP 2.8.7-r7 entering to bootloader mode
Turn off the device, press power and volume down and wait for two seconds. device will show bootloader mode in black screen, connect it to the pc through usb cable
Step 2: Paste twrp2.8.7-r7.img file into folder \Android\sdk\platform-tools and rename it to recovery.img (this requires previously installed Android SDK Tools, but you can do the same with MinimalADB
open cmd in windows, navigate to the platform-tools folder location and write this line:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Wait until ok message appears in cmd
TWRP will appear, and press reboot System. Enter bootloader mode again and type in CMD the following:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Wait until ok message appears in cmd. After that, press in bootloader mode the recovery option, you will enter to twrp and now new recovery becomes permanent, press Reboot system.
Step 3: copy BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip file into the device and after that, disconnect it from usb
Step 4: turn off the device, enter bootloader mode as stated in step 1, and select the recovery option with the volume up and down , press power button to enter to recovery and twrp will appear instead of original recovery.
Step 5: in twrp press install, select location of the Beta SuperSu File, select beta Super SU zip file and allow installation swipping to the right side and wait until it finish.
Step 5.1: after flash Super SU, wipe dalvik and cache through twrp, pressing the wipe dalvik/cache button located in left side.
Step 6: in twrp press button reboot now.
Wait a little while android rebuild the cache.
The device will enter to the home screen. check that super su app is installed

}
Note: if twrp offers to you install SuperSu dont let it. That causes a bug.
Step 7: Install Root checker and check if you are root.
Thats all folks!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plus 1 - If something goes wrong you can reinstall Stock as described in this repair guides. Check here the firmware and here the reinstall instructions
Plus 2 - How to delete the Motorola annoying unlock bootloader message:
Step 0: connect the device to the pc, copy unlocked_logo.zip file into the device and after that, disconnect from usb
Step 1:
Turn off the device, press power and volume down and wait for two seconds. device will show bootloader mode in black screen
Step 2: In bootloader mode select with the volume up and down the recovery option, press power button to enter and twrp will appear
Step 3: in twrp press install, select location of the unlocked_logo.zip File, select that file and allow installation swipping to the right
Step 4: in twrp press reboot now. The device will boot without nagging window.

Excellent instructions. First time I saw detail to flash TWRP in a manner that does not revert back to stock recovery.
One recommendation, after the first boot to recovery, make a clean (pre-root, pre-cutom recovery) TWRP back up to your SD Card. If anything goes wrong, just flash this backup.

Man I wish read your advice last night before I used one of those automated programs to root (installed latest super su) and bootloop city. I figured I would make a backup right after rooting.
I recovered by installing a close to stock 5.11 rom with twrp but would like to get back to MM without starting from scratch.
Does anyone know of a Stock MM rom (not ASOP) that can be installed with twrp?

If you get that The phone is not allowed to unlocked The bootloader when i try, how can i unlocked it then

I've had it do that on a new flash and I just held the power down until it shut off and when I turned it back on it boots normally.

Thanks, did not understand why the latest version not started, I see that you can not install a more current than version 2.65.

Make sure you have a portable SD Card installed. Then simply boot TWRP, set back up location to SD Card, and make back up. If you never used TWRP, you may want to Google it and learn a little before your first attempt.

roouted my device, everything ok

Just to report, it worked on my XT1543 (dual sim, 1GB)

Couldn't get this to work on XT1541 with 24.44.1.osprey_reteu_reteu.en.EU reteu with the instructions mentioned in the first post.
I got things to work by using the latest SuperSU and forced it to install in system-less mode. This worked quite well.
1. First go to bootloader using power+volumedown or from PC:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
2. Then boot TWRP (3.0.0-r2 in my case worked fine):
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-osprey-3.0.0-r2.img
3. Now copy SuperSU to the phone:
Code:
adb push BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-20160228150503.zip /sdcard/
4. Next make sure SuperSU will install in system-less mode:
Code:
adb shell
echo SYSTEMLESS=true > /data/.supersu
5. Install SuperSU by pressing "Install" in TWRP, select BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-20160228150503.zip and swipe. After installing you should see in the log that it used system-less mode. Now you can "Clear Cache/Dalvik" as well.
6. Now reboot. It should show the "Warning Bootloader Unlocked" screen once, then reboot, then show it again and this time it should continue booting into Android.

Hi guys, for me I had NO problem flashing "BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip" using "twrp-osprey-3.0.0-r2.img" on MPI24.65-33.1 Build number XT1541 (+ Allow OEM unlock options)

[GUIDE][AIO] Unlock bootloader, root and recovery for the Moto G

OK guys, so I'm making this thread because I just got a Moto G today, and I had a tough time 'setting it up' since there was no complete info at a single place.
Tested and verified this on Moto G XT1033 running Android 5.1, but it should work with other variants and android versions as well.
So this guide will help you to:
Unlock bootloader
Install a custom recovery
Root your device
Unlocking the bootloader
Unlocking the bootloader is pretty easy.
First download the Official Motorola USB drivers and install it
Now goto Motorola bootloader unlock page. Login with your Google account.
Now take your Moto G, and power it off.
Now press both Power and Vol - button for 2-3 sec and let go of the keys.
Your Moto G will boot into fastboot mode.
Connect the phone to PC via USB.
Open CMD from your adb/fastboot directory.
Type:
Code:
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
You will get a similar string:
Code:
(bootloader) 0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230
(bootloader) 30373731363031303332323239#BD00
(bootloader) 8A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F95
(bootloader) 1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000
(bootloader) 0000000
Now copy paste the string from CMD to Notepad (right click in CMD, press select, select the string with mouse and press enter. Then Ctrl+V into Notepad)
Paste together the 5 lines of output into one continuous string without (bootloader) or ‘INFO’ or white spaces. Your string needs to look like this:
Code:
0A40040192024205#4C4D355631323030373731363031303332323239#BD008A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F951A3E5#1F532800020000000000000000000000
Now copy paste that to the Motorola website and click request unlock key at the bottom of the page.
You will receive an email with the unlock key.
Retrieve the unlock key
Now, in the go back to CMD:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
The bootloader will unlock, and your phone will reboot.
Your boot logo will be replaced by a warning.

Congrats, you have now unlocked the bootloader of your Moto G!
Installing custom recovery and rooting
OK, now on to the next big step.
In this guide, I'll be installing TWRP 3.0.2.0
First, download official TWRP 3.0.2.0 from the Moto G TWRP page.
After downloading, copy it to where you can access adb/fastboot.
Rename it to twrp3g.img
Download the latest SuperSU flashable zip from
Copy it to your phone.
Enable USB debugging and give your PC access.
Open CMD from adb/fastboot location and type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Your phone will boot to fastboot mode.
Now in CMD type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp3g.img
Now do not reboot.
Instead use volume down to goto recovery option in fastboot, and vol up to select.
Voila!!
You will now boot to TWRP 3.
Mount the system as R/W (they will prompt to)
Now touch install, and select the SuperSU zip you copied.
Let it flash and then reboot.
Congratulations, you now have a Moto G with unlocked bootloader, TWRP 3 recovery and root access :good:
If you have any doubts/queries, feel free to ask!

Nice to see you @skyinfo after a long time

[Guide][How-To] Root Android 8 Oreo - Pixel (XL) + SafetyNet Pass

This is how to root with SuperSU and includes flashing SuperSU Hide for Android O
Requirements:
Unlocked BootLoader
Latest fastbook/adb drivers (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/guide-how-to-set-fastboot-adb-to-wide-t3591240)
Android O image (https://developer.android.com/about/versions/o/download.html#top)
SuperSU 2.82 SR3 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133)
Modded Version of the TWRP that works for Pixel/XL DP4/O (https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/development/mod-twrp-recovery-pixel-android-o-dp4-t3651896)
If you want SuperSU Hide for safety net passing (as of (8/21/2017 this is working) for Android Pay, Pokemon GO, Snapchat download SuperSU Lite from here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/suhide-lite-t3653855)
The How to part
Flash the Android O factory image on your device
Let the divice boot and go through setup and i advise you set a lockscreen method (Pin, Pattern, Password whatever you want but this will allow TWRP to decrypt your data more consistently) then reboot to bootloader
boot into the TWRP linked above
Go to "Wipe" select "Advanced wipe" check just "internal storage" and swipe to wipe
your device's internal storage should now be accessible via your PC/Mac/Linux so copy of the linked SuperSU SR3 we downloaded from above
Back to TWRP and the device, flash the SuperSU you copied over
let it finish then swipe to reboot to system (do not install the TWRP installer app it asks you to install before the reboot)
let the system boot up and check to make sure supersu is there
reboot back to bootloader and boot into the TWRP
Enter your lockscreen login (Pattern will show up if you used a pattern otherwise type in you password or pin when it asked for password)
copy the supersu hide lite from your PC/Mac/Linux to the internal storage of the device
flash it in twrp then swipe to reboot to system
Finally when it boots you should have supersu and SUHide installed!
Few Notes:
-It is very important to know that we are not flashing TWRP to our system when in fastboot/bootloader. If you're coming from an older device or just new to the Pixel in general this will be kinda weird to you I'm sure. The reason we do no do this is (long story short) A/B partition devices like the Pixel's are a whole new ball game and there is still development being done to get traditional methods of installing aftermarket recoveries working. But till then we have to boot into things so the change is temporary and does not alter the device's recovery partition.
-How SuperSU Hide works is pretty self explanatory but if you're like me, the whole safety net thing is annoying and i haven't felt like reading about it. So using the "suhide" app you now have, you want to make sure root is hidden from the apps that watch for it and stop themselves from running is they see root (Snapchat, Android Pay and Pokemon GO are all examples of these apps)
the "About" tab in the "suhide" app is very helpful
Old instructions for Android O DPs
Early reports say boot-to-root (the method covered here) works for DP4
Rooting DP1-4 is very easy.
Make sure bootloader is unlocked
Make sure Fastboot/adb drivers are fully up to date. (Follow this guide to make sure: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/guide-how-to-set-fastboot-adb-to-wide-t3591240 )
Download dp1-3 (https://developer.android.com/preview/download.html)
Download SuperSU 2.82 SR 1 for Pixel (or pixel xl) (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72686197&postcount=10481) [Updated to new fixed version that repaird system mounting issue]
Just flash Dev Preview like normal
boot into system and setup android
Reboot to bootloader
Exact the downloaded supersu
Reboot to bootloader
open a cmd in the extracted supersu location and type
Code:
fastboot boot boot-to-root.img
it will take about 7 minutes to boot but when it does you should have root
Original Instructions for rooting DP1
So after a few weeks of being without root on Android O for the Pixel user Sachi315 discovered how to get root on O by installing 7.1.2 on one slot and android O on the other. This allows Android O to fully boot after installing SuperSU. I wont go into the details of how it works because thus far its all speculation on my part and hopefully someone out there who knows more about these new partitions could better explain it. But for now I'm just going to show you how to do it.
Requirements
+Download 7.1.2 for your Pixel (XL)
-----N2G47E (https://developers.google.com/android/images)
+Download Android O for your Pixel (XL)
-----(https://developer.android.com/preview/download.html)
+SuperSU RS4 2.79 Extra Delay
-----(https://download.chainfire.eu/1024/...-SR4-20170323220017-ODP1-5X-6P-ExtraDelay.zip)
+TWRP RC1 bootable image & RC2 Flashable zip
-----For Pixel (https://dl.twrp.me/sailfish/)
-----For Pixel XL (https://dl.twrp.me/marlin/)
+Backup everything on you device, it will be purged
-----Make sure you have the latest fastboot binaries (I HIGHLY recomend you set this up manually. How to do so can be found in my tutorial here)
+Unlocked bootloader
To make sure you have the latest fastboot binaries press the windows key and type cmd. In the command line type "fastboot" This should return you get. Showing all the available fastboot commands including the new "--slot" commands. If this list has the options --set-active[=<slot>], --slot <slot> listed towards the bottom then you're all ready to move on. (see screenshot for list of other commands you should see)

​
Editing the flash-all.bat from your downloaded 7.1.2 and android o factory images
-Extract both to your working folder
-Find the "flash-all.bat" in the extracted 7.1.2 (N2G47E) right click and select "Edit"
-At this point we are going to clean the flash all up a bit. Its not a necessity but if you don't add some much needed line breaks it can get messy and confusing.
-Below i have a screen shot of what mine looks like cleaned up. Just press enter in the places i did. *Adding the line breaks does NOT mess with the code at all*
-----Toward the end of the commands you will see i added '--skip-reboot" between "update" and "image-sailfish-n2g47e.zip" This command makes it to where the device will not restart after the flash-all is finished. It is important you add this in the same place.
​-Now that we have this cleaned up, go ahead and save it really quick before we start adding to it.
-We are going to add a few "--slot" commands to it so it only installs to one slot. Below you can see what mine looks like after i added the commands. Match yours to mine (highlighted by red boxes)
-If you are on marlin, your image and zip names will be different but it's the same principal
​-after you add what i have above, save the flash-all.bat and close out of it.
Now we move over to the android o dev preview
-Open the extracted dev preview and right click on its flash-all.bat. Select "Edit"
-We are basically doing the exact same thing in this one BUT instead of the new commands being "slot _a" they will be "slot _b" (See below for the difference and we are still adding the "--skip-reboot" command)
​-Once your changes have been made in this flash-all.bat, save and close out.
Flashing the Images
Go ahead and get your Pixel into bootloader mode and plug it in.
before we start flashing we are going to clean the device up. This step will erase everything on the device.
Go into command prompt and type:
Code:
fastboot --slot _a -w
let it finish its thing then type
Code:
fastboot --slot _b -w
Device is cleaned. Now staying in bootloader type
Code:
fastboot --set-active=_b
then
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now close out of this command prompt and run the flash-all.bat from the android o dev preview folder.
Let it do its thing and after its done, it should be left in bootloader.
now run the flash-all.bat from the 7.1.2 image folder you have.
Same thing; let it run its course and finish up.
Now you should be still in bootloader.
type in cmd
Code:
fastboot --set-active=_a
now type
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
when it comes back up look at the phone and make sure is says the slot is "a" if it does, you're good to move on!
Installing TWRP and Root
From here; boot into TWRP (RC1)
-Make sure youre in slot A by going to "Reboot" then looking at the bottom (It should be slot A at this point, if its not something wasnt done correctly in the above steps)
+At this point i had the issue that my pixel would show up under "This PC" in explorer and was recognized by adb BUT none of the internal storage could be interacted with via my PC (this includes adb commands) so i couldnt get TWRP RC2 or SuperSU SR4 2.79 Extra Delay on the device to be flashed.
-To fix this: got to wipe>advanced wipe>check internal storage ONLY then wipe this partition.
-Unplug your phone and plug it back in and Windows Explorer should be able to work with the internal storage now.
-Now transfer TWRP RC2 and SuperSU sr4 2.79 Extra Delay to your Pixel
-From TWRP on your device, flash just TWRP RC2 for now. After it is installed, switch to slot b in TWRP. Then reboot to recovery.
-When TWRP comes back up, check to make sure youre in slot B still.
-If you are, now flash SuperSU SR4 2.79 Extra Delay.
-Now reboot.
-It should boot into android o, walk through setup and make sure supersu is installed.
-If it is, Congratulations you have rooted android O on your Pixel!
This method has was discovered by @Sachi315 (here)
Make sure you give him tons of thanks for getting the method up and running!
Im storing this here for my own sake testing wise please ignore https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72604085&postcount=10323
Off Topic is welcome as long as its still Pixel/Root/TWRP/Development/Questions but back and forth bickering will be and should be reported.

finally, thx for this guide! will give it a try and feedback. BTW, can I share this guide with my native language? source url and your ID will be declaimed, of course.

can it be done on a locked BL?
like EE (uk) or Verizon?

Because with a locked bootloader there are no means to recover if you screw something up. I mean none other than return the device and plead for mercy. If you want to play around, and I certainly do with my 5x, then make sure the bl is unlocked or that you can fastboot and unlock it if needed. The EE and Verizon models cannot be unlocked. I have one.

You can, sure. But hopefully your walk through is read before attempting to do this and it clearly states to boot into TWRP. That's impossible with a locked bootloader.

Dev previews are always a bear at first, I do hope this doesn't become the norm though. Pixel doesn't make it any easier haha

Thanks
@eqbirvin
I successfully rooted my new sailfish with o preview following your instructions. :highfive:
One place I got stuck was not knowing that there is no recovery partition in Pixel. I tried
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-RC1-fastboot-sailfish.img and obviously failed.
A little bit of searching led me to the right command
fastboot flash boot twrp-3.0.2-0-RC1-fastboot-sailfish.img
Thank you for decoding the rather cryptic post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71865004&postcount=1266 from @Sachi315 and creating a step-by-step process that works. :good::good::good:

Boot TWRP.img, flash doesn't work on pixels

Do you always let the phone boot up normally after stock, then go into bootloader and boot TWRP, the flash the TWRP zip ?
Afterwards, do you reboot TWRP into recovery again then stock, or just flash the .zip of TWRP then go right into stock ?
The process for this has been more confusing than the Nexus b/c there are slots a and b.

Don't boot into system after 7.1.2 flash or Android O flash. Just boot into TWRP, flash the TWRP rc2 (after dealing with internal storage issue) change to slot b (while still in TWRP) then reboot to recovery and make sure you are in slot b again. Finally flash SuperSU package.
Ugh I know. I love the pixel but is slot/partition change is a headache haha
