Well I what I can say is, Froyo and Gingerbread could easily be rooted using tools such as Z4Root but I believe these don't work on layer platforms.
I would have to say, it may be hard but not impossible? But it would recommend rooting your upcoming Moto G using a PC, its much safe and can be done with a single click.
Great things come in small packages.

Ok it my thunderbolt I want root

Not really sure what you're asking but both of the root methods used for the thunderbolt require the use of a computer. I personally recommend Jcase's method because it gives you insight to the way the tb works and basic adb experience.

Desktop or laptop is fine as long as you have the drivers installed.

Or they can keep data plus get a protected hboot using the Revolutionary tool...dawg....since they new that might be the best bet to protect from ever bricking and stuff...

I have been looking for a way to root my droid pro since i got it. I am having problems on other forums.
Is there a wiki or a thread that somebody can direct me to that will show me how to downgrade to another android version and root my phone upgrade the version and keep root?
I am not asking for a one click method or anything lazy like that i will spend 3 hours typing commands into terminal on unix if that is what it takes to root my phone.
Even if the guaranteed method you point me to has a 95% chance of bricking my phone i will still try it i am determined to get this thing rooted.
Thanks for all help in advance.

I have called customer service but they said prepaid isn't there focus :/ so uhhh... What? We just get screwed? How hard is it to release kitkat? Its out for every other carrier! Sorry I'm just so frustrated I can't reach anyone at Verizon that seams to know anything. My Verizon store didn't even know what a moto g was how do we get kitkat and will anyone ever get the boot loaderunlocked?
I've been wondering as well hopefully the answer isn't never. We shall see what kind of influence Motorola has over this device.

Unfortunately, Motorola has no say since Verizon is the one that also forced Motorola to keep the bootloader locked

I'm impatiently waiting for the update as well. Verizon has officially stated "a 4.4 KitKat update is planned for the near future" (via SlashGear) so it is almost definitely coming.
Do you think anyone will figure out how to unlock the boot loader?
Stock ROM was mentioned somewhere... But maybe Motorola will decide to unlock it, cause right now they are acting like Verizon owns them

Why are you all waiting for kitkat? What feature are you missing? All I've experienced with kitkat is the loss of flash. You can kinda sorta get flash back, but it's a hacked version and not 100%. You can use the Google experience launcher on jellybean, just search for the app and install. I have a Nexus 7 and removed kitkat because it wouldn't play nice with my Kinivio blue tooth. Jellybean works fine. Other blue tooth players work fine with kitkat, just not that one for some reason. (Disconnects and inconsistent performance on kitkat).
Anyway, just saying; be careful what you wish for. Newer is not always better.

That's a good reason. I didn't remember having that on stock kit kat (uninstalled too quickly), but I do hide my navigation keys on jellybean. Of course we need root for that...
OK, now I have to join in wishing for root!

We would need 2ndinit for moto g, that would enable cwm/root without unlocking bootloader. I own a Moto Defy too, it has locked bootloader, with 2ndinit I have cwm and custom rom on it.

Has anyone gotten ahold of Hashcode? I'm sure it'd be easy enough for us to fund getting him a vzw moto g.

The Verizon Moto G bootloader can't be unlocked, but the Boost Mobile one can? Makes me very glad I'm not with Verizon.
But at least the Verizon one gets signal in every place that boost doesn't

I am very jealous I can not unlock/root the Verizon Moto G (xt1028). These app updates I would love to intergrate into system, to free up that space. 8GB is not much and it sucks having a good chunck of that used because of updates. Using Xposed to add a few features to the stock rom I want, would also be great.
I know the nexus just got the 4.4.3. Waiting for when it's available for the moto G. But I've read the 4.4.3 has some difficulty or cause problems with root. If this is the case will I lose root if I update. Or should I go back to stock do the update and root again.
I appreciate any info...

4.4.3 and up is going to keep having root problems so i would wait and stick with 4.4.2 and Wait till its safe.
I intend to do that. Until I hear otherwise. Thanks for the reply.

yeah i just saw it myself, sadly i have the Verizon Variant of the moto x and only the T-mobile moto x got the update xD.
My concern is it safe to get the ota while I have root. Or if I gotta go back to stock and have to root again. I thought I had read that the 4.4.3 was gonna have difficulty with root.

not sure yet, since every model of the Moto G can have its boot-loader unlocked, im sure that 4.4.3 will be rooted very soon even with the difficulties if the OTA removes your root, i would just go with it.
I'm attempting my first root so bare with me. First of all I was under the impersion you do it all on your phone. Now I'm hear u need a computer to do? Secondly when u root your deleting everything off? So where do I get the software I'm going to need and what would be best for an Alcatel one touch feirce 2

The process explained here does not require you to use Odin nor a computer. You might have heard about it talking about different devices, to each one it's own. Also, that process doesn't need you to wipe your device to factory (that wouldn't make much of a sense), and generally root methods never do.

It looks like it worked, do you have a root manager? Try to download some root apps like screen recorders.

There should be a way to do it Downloading the latest LP firmware for your device and using Mobile Odin but that's as far as I know.
