are the modaco's rooting method still viable ? I'm seeing people saying it not work.
and can we root without having to flash other recovery, just using the default one (fastboot).
Nope, no rooting methods without unlocking bootloader yet. Most reliable method is to use custom recovery to root, and also some other fastboot (which will need unlocked bootloader)

root with unlocking bootloader is fine, my question is can we root without flashing other recovery (eg. cwm) ?
Recovery is not working in Moto g sometimes.. It's a known issue.. So better flash cwm to avoid bricking

oh thank you for the info, then I root with cwm :good:
Stock recovery is pretty useless now, I hardly have any idea what it can even be used for other than those ota updates. Do you not want to move away from stock recovery cause you might not install firmware updates? You can install alternate recovery just for rooting and revert back to stock if you really want to.

Well, if you are unlocking the bootloader, you won't be able to claim warranty anyway.

oh yeah forgot about that, but what if after root, I lock back the bootloader ?
is the root still there ?
To lock bootloader you have flash your stock firmware, which in a way would be a complete reset, so no root left. Also, whatever you do after with the phone, once you request the unlock code from the moto website, they will consider your phone unlocked, hence no warranty. You can relock to try your luck and they just might not care if you are lucky.
Be very careful with locking bootloader though, locking your bootloader in a wrong way (wrong firmware, not flashing all files, downgrading) will create a big mess. In my opinion, stay away from locking bootloader!

thanks man, seriously million of thanks
Hello,
trying to get root by unlocking the bootloader first (using preload recovery TWRP lastest + tamper bit mod) but I keep getting this error:
booting...
FAILED (remote: Device not unlocked cannot boot)
finished. total time: 0.406s
So I can't preload the custom recovery, is there any way of rooting on this oneplus firmware without wiping the whole device?
Any help would be much appreciated..
Edit: This isn't a reroot, this is first time root/unlock
Did you type fastboot oem unlock?
Your bootloader is locked and needs to be unlocked.
If fastboot oem unlock does not unlock it, then you need to fastboot boot into recovery.
Flash tamper, unlock, and then afterwords, adb sideload SuperSU.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat as you. Unfortunately after all my reading, it seems impossible as CM did it as a preventative measure to secure your data.
I'm going to do a back up of everything and then a reflash to 25R where battery life was best, then unlock and reboot.

Well thats the whole point, the OnePlus One is a very developer friendly phone indeed. Thats why you get the "keys" to unlock the phone with a simple command instead of using a exploit to flash a custom recovery.
On 25R bootloader, it was possible but as of now there isn't a way to root without unlocking the bootloader. You can read the thread here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/root-unlocking-bootloader-t2820628
This is why when people just now get a phone that has the ability to fastboot oem unlock, I suggest them to unlock their bootloaders as the first thing to do.
Backup all of your data and move forward. Best of luck.

if you truly want to restore everything there are apps that will zip up all your data and you can flash in one session after wiping your phone. If you are reloading the exact same software it should not be an issue. check google and playstore for such apps like app2zip
app2zip requires root, which I can't get if I've not unlocked the bootloader, which means wiping everything...app2zip won't help here but thanks for the suggestion

Sorry, but the only way is to unlock the bootloader. You could use Helium backup, also some Apps themselves have great backup functionality.

Because most people set up their phone before getting stuck into rooting and the like. Just as I did. I think locking the bootloader is good in theory, but the average user wouldn't know how to brick their phone even if the bootloader was already unlocked, so why do it?

The difference between having a locked and unlocked bootloader is simply flashing custom recoveries or radios/etc. Theres no harm in doing leaving your bootloader unlocked.
The bootloader has to be locked out of the box, I believe its one of the criterias needed to be fulfilled in order to be approved for Google Apps (Play Store,etc). Also, it doesn't make sense to have a bootloader unlocked for average users.
Just unlock the bootloader and learn from your lesson.... either that or stick with stock ROM without root. Yeah it'll set you back because you'll have to redo your phone apps/settings but on the bright side you won't have to do it again because ur bootloader is already unlocked.
You need your bootloader unlocked to obtain root. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788632 on instructions on how to do so if you're unfamiliar. After once its unlocked, fastboot flash a custom recovery and flash supersu.
Trust me I'm familiar...had none of this trouble on the G1. Out of 5 android devices this is the second time I've had to unlock the bootloader...and the average user doesn't even know what a bootloader is, so not sure they'd be able to mess about with the radios.

Thats because the G1 had a locked bootloader and the only way to flash a custom recovery was to gain a exploit to push a custom recovery. For the OnePlus/Nexus/HTC, we don't need a exploit because we have the ability to unlock our bootloaders. Think of it as Apple's iOS, in order to gain jailbreak you need a exploit to jailbreak your phone which can take a long time for it to happen. Whereas, on Nexus/OnePlus/HTC, we can simply just obtain access to do changes to the phone without having to wait for a exploit.
You keep mentioning average user but a average user wouldn't be attempting to obtain root access for their phone. The average user would just be using his/her phone as a phone and not tinkering with the deeper innings of the Operating System and if the average user wants to tinker with the deeper innings then they should really do their research and learn. There are a lot of good guides on XDA.
Couldn't agree more. There is no need for any exploit with this phone because you've been handed the keys.

That doesn't allow you to root while having a unlocked bootloader. It just changes the bits on whether or not your device has been tampered.
But then again,
This mod will allow you to unlock the bootloader without wiping the userdata as oppose to fastboot oem unlock command.

A little off topic but I unlock my boot loader and root as soon as I get the phone so I don't have to loose anything.

that's what you think, but in my case i was able to unlock the bootloader using the mod, hence rooting was a matter of course. the casual "fastboot oem unlock" command was not effective with my device. so.....
edit: then again, i unlocked the bootloader and rooted my phone while it was still at 30O firmware. i have no idea if the 33R firmware's bootloader is different from that of the 30O or not, that will render the mod ineffective.
It's fine, problem solved, went through the gruelling task of trying to back everything up without root = 40gb of stuff..
Already tried the tamper bit mod...it was stated in the first post (tamper bit mod) and the command screenshot was one of the steps when trying to boot the recovery, it still wouldn't boot because the bootloader wasn't unlocked..so, useless in my case.
Still lost some stuff but I got most of it back. I didn't have this problem on my xperia SP when unlocking the bootloader..if I remember correctly you could root, get recovery and custom rom all without unlocking bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader didn't erase the internal sd either..sure it might have been through an exploit rather than the proper way, but tbh I think I'd rather have that.
I'm not liking this "you've been given the keys" analogy...It's more like you've already settled into your new house and you're given the keys to unlock the front door when you're already inside...it's hassle more than anything.
Hello guys
im looking to root my OPO, but i dont want to unlock the Bootloader or install a custom recovery, just want a method to root so i can install Xposed on the stock CM11S rom, is this actually possible?
Why not just unlock the bootloader? Your warranty isn't affected by it. You lose nothing by unlocking it, and you gain nothing by leaving it locked.

Like @timmaaa mentioned, you lose nothing when you unlock bootloader. Not only that, it is the recommended and futureproof approach to do so. Unlocking the bootloader wipes your phone completly clean. Suppose somewhere down the road you want to try different ROMs, you'd realize you cannot do so without losing your data. So you'r much better off unlocaking your bootlaoder right now.
But to answer your question, no. It is not possible at a simpler level. Unlocking the bootlaoder give you access to all the partitions on the phone. What you need access to specifically is the recovery partition so you could flash a custom recovery and install the SU binaries onto your system. through that recovery.
What others have said, unlock the bootloader there's no problem with leaving it unlocked.
You're given the key to unlock the bootloader using a command. Use it and make your life simple. It's like saying you have the key to your house but you want to get inside the house without unlocking the door. Just use the key and make it simple.

Perhaps you felt like I did, worried that you are ruining your phone or your ota ability.
Unlocking the Bootloader is painless aside from having to reinstall all your programs. Everyone says it wipes the os, but what they don't tell you is that you don't have to dig around looking for the proper version to reinstall. You just type a code, and the phone reboots fresh like a factory reset, ready to go. And installing the custom recovery is easy, and it works perfectly with ota updates.

Your boot loader won't be locked again. Can you access your custom recovery (TWRP/CWM etc)? If so you just need to flash a SuperSU zip to get root back. If you lost your custom recovery, you can just flash one again, although you will need to connect to a PC to do this.
If you've lost your custom recovery, just use a toolkit like the one below to install one. You can then reboot to recovery and flash a supersu zip (download one first from here http://download.chainfire.eu/212/SuperSU/). You won't loose any data.

There are 2 methots to install custom recovery:
1.(Best one) Downgrading to kitkat getting root and then recovery, but here's the problem: Downgrading requires to wipe data, which you don't want to do. So this isn't an option.
2. Unlocking the bootloader and flashing recovery. Problem: unlocking wipes your data and you lose DRM keys, so also not an option.
Sorry but I can't think of anything more.

It's not a flashable zip .-.
-your phone must be rooted and usb debugging enabled.
-extract the zip file "Z3-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26-RELEASE.combined.zip" to desktop or any other location on your PC/Laptop.
-run executable file "install.exe" and connect your phone... if you have SuperSu press 1 and enter.
now you have dual recovery mode

Unfortunately the only available options are these, all this is to protect your data and make them inaccessible to the thief if you get your phone stolen.
If you've forgot the password/pin/pattern of the lock screen, just perform a factory reset, it will wipe the data partition (apps and their data) but it won't touch your personal files such as music and photos

The user have been asking similar questions for other devices in the past. I suspect that the user may have stolen the phone and I do not think it's a good idea to provide further assistance to this user, as making it easier to use a possibly stolen phone is no good. If OP is any legit, he would know that he can restore the password using his Google account, and losing the password and recovery for 2 high-end devices at the same time is just fishy.. Just my 2 cents guys.
