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.

thats a nexus device, that does not mean your Moto G will be safe.

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.

Sorry if this has already been covered but is there a way to root after todays Ota update?
Thanks
there's a post asking the same question literally right below this one called "[Q] Motoroot after OTA update?" that has the answer.
I used motoroot. No problem.

I used PwnMyMoto by installing it before taking the update AFTER a fxz with save data using house of moto.
I used RockMyMoto just an hour ago and it worked fine.

download link ?
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.
Hey guys,
I thought I'd make a new separate thread for the OTA update instead of the LG Tool method. OTA just started going out to phones. I was wondering:
Anyone get the OTA yet? And if you did use the OTA, did you root before and keep your root?
Thanks everyone!
As far as ive read you wont revive a OTA if your rooted, You would have too un-root/flash stock, Update then re-root.

Did you keep root after the update?

I did the OTA and lost root. I'm not sure if it would make any difference, but I did not check the setting in SuperSU to maintain root after OTA. I'm not sure if this would work anyway.

Still no OTA. What gives?
I got my notification just last night. So it should slowly get to everyone.
Note 1: It would not install until I charged my phone.
Note 2: I still got the notification for my T-Mobile D801 even though I'm unlocked and on H2O.

might not stop you receiving it but you won't be able to install it.
You won't receive the uk version yet anyway, it hasn't been released.
