You can't root without unlocking the bootloader. Bootloader is a sort of a security lock to prevent any messing about with the firmware.

Can u check link that its guide for installing recovery then if I flash kernel through recovery then it will root on lock boot loader
In Sony its possible that we can root without unlocking boot loader
Please reply
I don't want to lose my warranty
Thanks in advance
Even the method in the link requires an unlocked bootloader. You can't root without unlocking the bootloader. Either way of you root you'll lose your warranty.

@azhar.munshi.... It can't be stated more plainly than @rudi_j7 has put it ----YOU CANNOT ROOT OR INSTALL A CUSTOM RECOVERY WITHOUT UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER ---- it is no use trying to quote links stating how it is done to Moto G devices because those links don't exist, and what is the point of quoting "Sony" devices when we are dealing with the Motorola Moto G.
Owners of Moto X and E are able to root without unlocking bootloader
Rooting without unlocking the bootloader usually involves an unpatched exploit of some kind. An OTA could make you lose root on a permanent basis, and you may or may not be able to flash kernels, which would be an issue for custom ROMs.
Either way, no such method has been posted for the Moto G yet.

Hey Guys, I am curious as to if this device can be returned to stock after rooting / unlocking. I'm also wondering if we can root it and flash custom recovery without unlocking the boot loader. Also, once you have changed roms can you go back to the stock rom and ASUS not know?

Not sure I understand your first question. Rooting and/or unlocking does not remove your stock rom...
And no, you must be unlocked to flash custom recovery . And no, it is not possible to relock, so ASUS will know your device has been unlocked,
hmm.

Lame Do you have to be unlocked to Root and Debloat?
no mate there is a way to root and keep you bootloader locked, its called motochopper and there is a guide on here
Rooting locked is sufficient to remove bloatware.

If you're boot loader is unlocked, just flash twrp recovery in fastboot. Then flash supersu 2.36 in twrp if your bootloader is locked, well then unlocking it is going to wipe your device. See the general forum for how to unlock and flash a custom recovery

I know if I unlock the boot loader then it will wipe my device and then I have to use custom recovery.. My question is that the above link in my message didn't showed any unlocking of the boot loader.. Is this possible.

Sorry, I'm on my mobile device and can't get to the link. But I can tell you that on 5.0 there isn't a way to root without unlocking the bootloader. I'm guessing the link talks about towelroot. That worked on previous versions of android but not 5.0

Yes I'm talking about Towelroot. Well if there is no way then I will not root my device because previously I have used HTC One X and rooted it as well but didn't find much options after rooting it just I have the file on the root access. Currently No app ask me for root access. I can copy Games to Android Folder and etc..
What is a bootloader(tell me in simplest way)....Is unlocking the bootloader really required...? If not then please post another method for root......

watch this video to unlock it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIdJg7KNH3A
and a bootloader allows you to flash kernels/recovers/ and other custom things but only if it is unlocked.
with custom recovery you can install roms,make full system backup,and other things.
a custom kernel wil allow you to overclock cpu/gpu and more.
a custom recovery can be used to flash root.update zip.
but after unlocking bootloader you void your warranty . and your device got hard reset(factory reset)
it can be only unlocked if it is allowed to be unlocked.

Not entirely true, at least to all devices. I have a Moto Defy which also has a locked bootloader, no way to unlock, running KK CM11. Developer @pedrodh has managed to create an app called "2ndinit" (1) which allows a second kernel to boot on top of the locked one, allowing to flash new builds despite the locked bootloader. Because of this, Defy is known as unbricable. Similar approach could be used on E3 if some devel take a look into this.

Hi, I wondered to know which is the safest way to root our moto g. I don't want to wipe data or delete system partition or even install custom recoveries. Is possibile to just get root access without modify too much our device?
My device: XT1032
Currently with: 5.0.2 stock
Thanks

Is your bootloader unlocked? If not you have to, and when you do, your data will be wiped.
If you are unlocked, download cfauto root for your device and it's pretty much one click to root.
Damn, I didn't want to backup and restore all my data.
Just another question: bootloader unlocked means warranty void, doesn't it? Can I lock the bootloader again in order to have the warranty valid again?

You can relock it, but as you need to request the unlock code from motorola it's pointless relocking it.
In fact motorola say just requesting the code voids the warranty even if you don't use it!
Thank you for the useful information
guide?

Download cfauto root for your device to your computer from here
1: Boot the phone into bootloader
2: Connect device to the computer with a USB cable
3: Unzip the CF-Auto-Root-xxx-xxx-xxx.zip file on the computer
4: Run the root-windows.bat file
That's it:good:
Flash custom recovery > flash Superuser.zip > profit.
You do not use root exploits when you have a unlocked bootloader.

Hello!
I want to unlock my bootloader and root my phone to flash a custom ROM. I have many questions regarding this:
1. http://www.howtogeek.com/239798/how-to-unlock-your-android-phones-bootloader-the-official-way/ This link has instructions to unlock bootloader the official way. It is written there that bootloader of some specific models of some phones might not be unlockable, and it told me to check on XDA developers. So is OnePlus X E1003 Onyx's bootloader unlockable? If not, it is written that I will need to use the unofficial method given at XDA developers.
2. After unlocking my bootloader using ADB, fastboot and all that, do I need to flash a custom recovery like TWRP, CloCkworks mod, etc. ? If yes, pls tell me where to find it and how to flash it!!
3. Do I neet to root my device before flashing a custom ROM? Also, how to root my device manually using adb? Should I use apps like Kingroot for rooting my phone. If yes, pls suggest apps other than kingroot! and also tell me how to root manually using zipped files!
4. What is the safest and ideal way to flash a custom ROM? As OnePlus X hasn't yet received Marshmellow update, is it advisable to flash CM13? Is there any OxygenOS v 3.3 Rom for Oneplus x?? pls helP!!
