can i root moto g without unlocking BL n if yes then does it void my warranty
I think there's a way to root in 4.4.2 without unlocking the bootloader (tethered root, though, and /system will still be write-protected). Search the forum.

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.
recently I had update my firmware to 4.4.4
but I can't search for a rooting method without unlocking bootloader
:crying:I am sorry to ask about that is there any method that doesn't need to unlocking bootloader to root my device?Thanks

So far the only method that doesn't involve unlocking of the bootloader is that you root the 4.3 firmware and update to 4.4.4 via OTA.
Maybe if developers find out something for Xperia Z3 we can take advantage of it. All firmwares after August 2014 can't be rooted with ordinary tools.
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.

How can I unlock the bootloader on my rooted 5.1.1 d6603 eXistenZ rom without having to loose all my data? And if that's not possible, then how can I unlock the bootloader period? Does it matter if you're rooted and can you do it while on 5.1.1?

You always lose data when you unlock the bootloader.
It does not matter what ROM you are on or if you are rooted.
Any ROm that works on locked bootloader also works on unlocked bootloader
To unlock the bootloader go here http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
Will I loose root and my dual recovery and if so is there root for 5.1.1? Thanks for the help.

No, (well you shouldn't) as root and recovery are installed to the system. Unlocking the boot does wipe data though.
And if once you have an unlocked bootloader you can always root any firmware on any android version. That's the main reason to unlock the bootloader. You will also be able to delete recovery from your system and have a custom kernel with recovery built into it.
Can anyone explain me the differences between above mentioned things. If i just root my phone without unlocking tje the bootloader then can i perform all root tasks? And also, can I flash.?
Or I should unlock Bootloader to flash..
If your device is rooted without unlocking the bootloader, you can do everything that needs root. You can install root apps and use them.
But you can't flash anything because that requires the bootloader to be unlocked. However, there are rarely cases which allows you to install custom software without unlocking the bootloader. Some devices also don't require to be unlocked to flash files, mainly Samsung and MTK devices.
If you have more questions or concerns about that, feel free to ask me and I will try to answer your questions.
So i cannot flash other roms without unlocking the bootloader..
But can i install marshmallow.?? I guess that too comes under flashing..
