there is a way to get root on 4.4. once you have upgraded to 4.4.4 I dont know if you can revert or not. You may want to read this thread, it saved me once.

If your bootloader is locked - no root for 4.4.4 yet, if ever
If your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash a custom recovery and root.
Cannot downgrade from 4.4.4 and it does not matter if your bootloader locked or unlocked

If you buy an unlock code from china and unlock your phone (please note that during unlocking the bootloader your phone will be reset and wiped, including pictures and other user files) then you can flash custom recovery and root.
Even unlocked and rooted, you will not be able to downgrade - you are stuck on 4.4.4.
For unlocking and flashing custom recovery read this post:

[Q] SK17a ICS Update, Root?

Hello, people!
I have a SK17 that still in the warranty period, so I don`t want to unlock it`s bootloader because of it. I`ve been noticed by e-mail today that the Wotan Server has the ICS update now avaliable for my device and i just want to know if that rooting method that root without unlock the bootloader will work after the update, i mean, is possible update the Android version without changing the FW version?
So I can keep my rootable .58 and have ICS running in my device. Another question is about the battery life. It is worth the upgrade? Thanks and sorry for the poor english. =D

Downgrade JB 4.3 to JB 4.1.2 (SUCCESS)

Hi,
I'm from India and I'm a MTS CDMA user so I used USC SCH-R530U 4.1.1 but someday I find Jellybean 4.3 for my device and I upgraded my device to Jellybean 4.3 and all is working fine like charm but after upgraded MTS CDMA working fine but Reliance CDMA Call & SMS working fine but Reliance data not working,then I call seller and they told me Reliance CDMA data, sms & call working only Jellybean 4.1 & 4.1.2. Then I'm trying to downgrade and I search lots of lots in google for downgrade 4.3 to 4.1 or search everywhere but no solution is available and then I also try myself research and I start research stock firmware and result is negative, I done downgrade to Jellybean 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 but baseband unknown and hardware version missing so network does not work but I can't stop and I research again and again and thats why my sleep is gone. My problem is not KNOX bootloader, if any way to possible downgrade Jellybean 4.1.2 with KNOX I don't have any problem but this way is not available then I root Jellybean 4.3 and remove KNOX app but thats does not mean downgrade is working. Then again I research and try and fail and fail and fail but suddenly 2day I got solution and made downgrade from Jellybean 4.3 to 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 and after downgrade all are working fine like charm and also I root my Jellybean 4.1.2
And you can unlock your bootloader and everything now?

I think this is likely irrelevant to our phone as it is the locked bootloader Verizon put on our version that prevents us from downgrading our phone, not Knox. I don't believe the USC version has the same locked bootloader.

I'm from Nepal. I have the same problem i.e., CDMA data not working after upgradation from 4.1.2 to 4.4.2 by Samsung Kies. My phone is Samsung Galaxy S3 I535 (Verizon brand/model). Can I solve my problem by downgrading OS to 4.1.2 ? If so can you please provide the procedure you followed to downgrade. Thanks.

Running baseband 4.4.2 NE1 locks the BootLoader and makes it nearly impossible to downgrade back to anything other than what your currently on. Your only option to downgrade is jtag service. You cannot downgrade to 4.1.2 unless you want to hard brick the phone

Root Moto G

Hi,I'm new to android rooting flashing etc as I was in s60v5th previously.
I have xt1033 Indian version.
I previously read a thread about unlocking phone before upgrading to 4.4.(mine was 4.4.3,later upgraded to 4.4.4)
Is there any problem in unlocking a 4.4.4?
What about rooting process?
Unlock-->flash super user zip??
Difference between stock recovery & any custom one?
I read about backing some partition containing imei,WiFi Mac address etc.When to do that? After unlocking.
Or should I wait till android L release? (As I want that)

[Q] Unlocking Bootloader on 5.0.2

Hi,
I would like to ask about unlocking the bootloader on lollipop (5.0.2) on XT1032. Has anyone tried it? I heard that there were soem issues when unlocking on 4.4.4 so I'm a bit afraid that something could go wrong. I'm looking forward to trying out CM12 or at least some Xposed modules like gravity box because I'm not really 100% satisfied with the pure lollipop.
Thank you in advance for your response
First, check the Motorola site to see if your bootloader can be unlocked.
Hi there,
I had unlocked my XT1033 Lolipop bootloader few days back using Motorola Moto G UNLOCK BOOTLOADER TUTORIAL: http://youtu.be/hKG6uOEqqIw and install twrp recovery & rooted it using cf auto root on stock rom...... Currently using xposed with gravity box with no issues and the bootloader process doesn't cause any issues unless you make any silly mistake..... Easy as pie... Give it a try.....
Thank you both
I checked that my BL can be unlocked so I'll probably give it a try.
Looking for TWRP for XT1032 running 5.0.2
I have one more question, where can I find working twrp for my version (XT1032 on 5.0.2).
Do you guys think that this link http://techcrypto.com/moto-g-twrp-lollipop/ can be trusted? and won't cause any damage to my moto g
Thx for replies.
EDIT: That recovery works fine (except for the screen flickering but thats probably problem in all of them)
