From my research it seems as if this phone can't be rooted because you cannot unlock the bootloader.
Has anyone tried "Poot to Root" on the Verizon Prepaid Moto G? I don't need an Unlocked Bootloader, just Root access.
I rooted my Kyocera Event (with a locked bootloader) in less than a minute using Poot. From what I have read, Poot to Root is made for Qualcomm phones, and the Moto G is Qualcomm.
So, has anyone tried this yet? Does it work?
Right now this is the only working method to unlock the bootloader.
It costs money, and there's no other known way to root the Verizon Moto G

Just trying to find out if there are others out there that bought the Boost Mobile Moto G if you are able to unlock your bootloader through the Motorola site? If you did this, did you also root it afterwards and what method you used to root. Thanks!
Cheers.
I have a brand new moto G (2013 lte) and I'd like to root it and install custom Roms. I read some articles in internet and I read that if you want to unlock the bootloader you need a code you get from Motorola's website. Requesting the code code will void your warranty because your phone will be saved by Motorola as unlocked. But I also read articles where they use Cf auto root (by chain fire) to automatically root the moto g and there is no sign to request the Motorola unlock code in any step. Must the phone be already unlocked before cf autoroot or there is a way to root without being saved in Motorola databases? There is a way to unroot? I purchased the moto g from amazon, and I think that if I brick my phone rooting and I don't tell amazon that I tried to root, they would replace my phone anyway. I'm scared of the Motorola databases instead. I'm asking so because I own a nexus 5 and I rooted it, then I had to send in back because of a screen problem, so I unroofed and everything went very well. Thank you and sorry for horrible English.
After hours and hours of trying, I would like some help from you guys.. I already know the moto g verizon prepaid requires Sunshine to unlock bootloader (is that free now? it let me download something, but it said i had to be rooted first with temp root). I couldn't find any software to temporary root my moto g. so i read a guide on how to downgrade 5.1 to 4.4.4, but then i realized i had to have an unlocked bootloader to downgrade.
So my question:
Is there a way to root the moto g 5.1 (verizon prepaid) with and without an unlocked bootloader?
I'm not sure what to do..If there is any way whatsoever to root the moto go 5.1 verizon prepaid, can you help me get going?
i appreciate it muches, thanks guys
Hi. I was given a Cricket LG G Stylo to play around with. Previously I have messed around with my HTC Sensation where I which I unlocked the bootloader, did s-off, flashed a custom recovery, and permanent rooted. Can I do all of that with the Cricket version of the LG G Stylo? Most of the threads I've read only talk about rooting the Cricket Stylo but nothing else.
So basically:
1) would I be able to unlock the phone to be use with other carriers? If so, do I do that first or last? And where can I find this info?
2) How can the bootloader be unlocked?
3) If s-off doable on this phone or is that only for HTC phones?
4) How can the stock recovery and ROM be backed up?
5) Are there any working custom recoveries for the Cricket version?
Thanks
I am thinking of buying this phone. I wanted to check in here before I purchase a 5G phone. I need to be able to unlock bootloader, root and install TWRP.
Is anyone familiar with accomplishing this on this phone? I have read about pulling the unlock codes and submitting them to Motorola to get the unlock key.
I assume "unlocked" means carrier unlocked. Is there any reason you could think of why Motorola would deny the bootloader unlock key for this model? And should root and TWRP be fairly straight forward? I have been using a VS985 LG G3 for the last eight years thanks to all the help and info by @roirraW "edor" ehT, but on January 2, 2023 when Verizon shut down CDMA, I have been having trouble. A simple "rootable" 5G phone is now needed.
Thanks
