I found there many ways to root moto g.
i want to know which is safest way to root.
I found 1 simple process without installing custom recovery.
is this ok to root with out custom recovery???
plz clear my doubt, requesting those who are already rooted & expreience.\\
also mention which process u use to root ur moto g??
thank u.
To be honest theres no safe way to root a phone. Unlocking bootloader, installing custom recovery or rooting a phone can hard brick your phone. Just make sure you follow the instruction carefully.
Although I do not live in India, and, I do not own an XT1033, I did us this site's instructions to load TWRP (custom recovery), and root my XT1045. I read a lot of posts here on XDA but the linked site seemed to make it easier to understand.
But first you must go to the Motorola Bootloader site and determine if you phone is eligible to be unlocked. If so, you will need to get the unlock key. All the instructions for doing this is on the Motorola site.
I do not know anything about process for not installing the custom recovery. I would recommend that you do install the custom recover.
Good luck!

Hi all!
I have created a Moto G root solution - well, 2 actually. The first is a 'superboot' and I also have an alternate modified recovery method in case that doesn't work.
The downloads are stickied here - http://www.modaco.com/forum/751-motorola-moto-g/
The approach i've used for the alternate method should also let us do a custom (CWM / TWRP) recovery.
Cheers,

i have already linked both on the FAQ, directly to your original MoDaCo threads, so that most people could access them
[SIZE=+1]Q8: How to Root my device ?[/SIZE]Until now,you first need to unkock your bootloader,
Option 1 : then follow this guide [original thread - on MoDaCo]
Option 2 : via a customized recovery [original thread, on MoDaCo]

After you get root, please read Q19
one question though, is the second method to be used only if the first one failed or both are "equivalent" in terms of efficiency and risk taken ? If the second method works for everybody, then it should be the one preferred
edit : this thread should be stickied here too
Many thanks for this. Will there ever be an unlock for the boot loader that doesn't void our warranty?

Tried method A with Linux and Windows, didn't work. The second method worked like a charm as soon as I understood how to navigate the bootloader (note to me: read instructions on screen).
Good work.
recovery method works perfectly with my telcel Moto G, since the superboot method doesn't work.
I did it yesterday. The superboot.img worked good after the second time. The recovery didn't... My moto comes from German amazon.

I rooted my device with the first method - worked.
Now i was finally able to install Xposed to get rid of the carrier label and block Ads with Adaway
Thanks!
Successfully unlocked and rooted my Tesco 16GB using Paul's method 2 recovery type.
German retail version, Linux
Method 1: no go (3 attempts)
Method 2: success
GB retail, worked fine on first attempt using superboot Win7 32bits
Root
Recovery sideload method worked for me when superboot did not.
Had my Moto-G a couple of weeks now and its rooted with dpi set to 240 global and Xposed framework installed with app setting module so i can set other individual apps to other more usable dpi scale.
all in all this is a great device and priced in such a way that its an easy device to try any mod or attempt any hack without worrying too much
Cheers for the tools again Paul.
all we need now is a fully working recovery where we dont have to select the line above to perform the action we want, twrp would be super cool !
==PEACE==
Root with superboot r2, moto g dual sim Brazilian. Works fine.
Thanks
Both are failing for me. Says everything copies right but on boot up nothing. Also cant sideload the SU app.
--Edit--
I was able to get root by using TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2561757 and then flashing the SU app from the first method.
Rebooted opened the SU app and it asked to updated using TWPR
Phone flashed the updated files in TWRP
Rebooted phone with root access!
Tried solution 1 (no custom recovery) with Windows 7
no problems at all
Thanks
****** UPDATE ******
rooted a second Moto G - solution 1 (no custom recovery) - also working like a charm!
thanks for the Guide!
Moto G - German Version
So is there any method to unlock the bootloader without going through Motorola? Then you could unlock the bootloader but relock it if you need to send in your device for warranty service. Otherwise, they'll have your ID on file requesting an unlock code, and I assume would refuse any warranty service (wonder how strict they are about this?).

Unless someone cracks the protection that the ID provides (which may not even be possible if it is in hardware), no. By law in most countries in Europe the voiding your warranty part is a bit tricky, for obvious hardware failures, they would still have to support you in any case. In the US, you are, as usual, screwed..
If you only want to root, MAYBE someone can come up with a privilege escalation exploit that would do that job. Would be easier than trying to crack the bootloader protection, I'd imagine.
Hello there.
Hi, I fixed the problem was that I used the google back up of my previous phone with the motorola migration, I had to delete everything with the recovery mod and then it worked.
I got this problem what should I do. Thank you
Then I tried the other method and comes up device no found
Try running it as administrator

After unlock bootloader will be possible to re-lock in future? Or it will remain lock for always? Thanks
There are many threads about how to unlock and root but things get old much fast, I feel like FAQ is too old to follow.
I prefer ask before make same thing wrong.
I have a Moto G 4g with lollipop locked and orginal, so I decide to put new thing now because same things are annoying me in the phone, I think xposed can help me well, so I only need unlock and put root, but need to know the last way to do this, I know unlock is easy but what recovery to flash and how? What I need to root? Is there same problem with xposed in lollipop?
I did come from Razer D3 mediatek, had not unlocked bootloader but was easy to root and te best way to custom was with xposed, so im more "acquainted" with this.
any help on this would be appreciated.
Please someone answers!!
If your phone is not retail and your carrier locked your bootloader, it's not currently possible to unlock the bootloader or permanently root it. You can only temproot it currently.
If you want to flash a recovery your bootloader must be unlocked. You cannot flash anything with a locked bootloader. But if you wish to know, you can use TWRP or CWM for peregrine phones.
Hello everyone! I didn't want to root my new MOTO G 2015 but I need more storage if I want to install more app's, I saw with root permissions we can transfer full sized app's to the sd, is it true? and how? I've seen already a guide how to root moto g 2015, but know I want to know how to transfer full sized app's to the SD and then i'll decide if I want to root or not.
Do you think I should root? It will be better If i want more storage?
Is it safe? The Lollipop will be automatically installed after the root? I have no need on install other Android OS.
Thank you!
Hey! I can see that you are new here, but rooting your phone isnt gonna delete anything of your data if you search on this forum for Link2sd than you will find a tuturial for how to do that. But if you dont understand any of the words "Brick" or "fastboot" you should do some research first.
success!

Hello HelpMeruth! And thank you for replying my question!
Here's what I already searched this is , i've got alot of information already but the information I got says my phone will be formatted I think. Brick I remember that word a long time ago when the PSP Scene I know it's not android but I remember it, it's like having a non funcional phone, bricked.
Here's the guide I saw: (I can't post links, if you can search on the youtube : "Moto G 3rd Gen(2015) - How to Root - Unlock Bootloader & Custom Recovery") and tell me if that guide will not brick or format my moto g 3
Any chance of getting bricked? It will remove my SIM Service? I have the phone just for a week and the warranty it's 2 here's, If I root the warranty goes out, is it worth rooting?
Thanks for the reply sir and yes i'm really new in the android scene, just came from the iOS one, got mad at iOS
I can confirm that your phone will not be formatted
The word brick means that your phone wont start up.
Its a gamble for everyone to root, so when you are gonna do it try just booting Twrp. That is the safest way to test it.
But strart with unlocking your bootloader thats already a big step for rooting (unlocking bootloader will format your data!)
If you got any questions send me message!
Its your choise to root or not

You do NOT need to unlock bootloader in order to root.
You DO need to unlock your bootloader for TWRP, unless booted temporarily.

What? you have to unlock the bootloader in order to boot/flash twrp.

You shouldnt be able to root with a locked bootloader, i quote: 'A locked bootloader locks write access to several partitions like the system partition. This is the reason why rooting is not able without unlocked bootloader.' found on this site https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-main-differences-between-Rooting-and-Unlocking-Bootloader
that tool just has a build in fastboot/adb and automate things for you.

Installing cyanogenmod will still keep you on 5.1.1 your device will just be modified (custom tweaks etc..) so if you have to unlock your bootloader it will void any warranties you have. If you don't have one or don't care just make sure to read carefully as you sound relatively new to CM and you don't want to brick your device.

Yes it will be modified to cyanogenmod firmware right? So the firmware updates from MOTO G 3 I had installed will go resetted to the cyanogenmod firmware right?

Correct.
Cm12.1 is just 5.1.1 that's why I said it would.
You may see custom aosp 6.0 ROMs before any real factory builds.

Hey, I have a TMobile Moto One 5g Ace 128gb and I don't want to destroy this phone but it sucks being stuck in Android 10. I have rooted phones in the past including Samsung's, LGS and Zte but Motorola is a new beast and I'm afraid of bricking it. I also don't want to be stuck with a custom ROM that doesn't have camera or flash light or some other issue between software and hardware. So I'm asking a professional the NOOB questions.... How do I unlock the bootloader..... How do I install the driver's.... How do I install twrp and root my phone..... And finally how do I install a custom ROM and what's the best one to install?

After unlocking the bootloader, there is a TWRP that will allow you to flash custom ROMs. It is flashed with fastboot.
You flash custom ROMs from TWRP. There is a Telegram channel with at least two developers of custom ROMs. I have tried Havoc and crDroid. Each has its advantages and fan boys. I am currently running a rooted stock Canadian retail ROM. It is more complicated to run rooted stock. Read the guides carefully and follow the instructions.
Some advice from someone who has unlocked and flashed many phones in the past.
Leave it alone. There is truly nothing to be gained.
Hello everyone!
I have searched online for a guide on exactly how to get Magisk on a Motorola Moto G41 but have only found very generic sounding step-by-step guides.
Want to know that I am doing it the right way the first time so that I don't end up bricking the phone or doing something stupid. Have always had Samsung before,
but now I went with a Motorola since I got it for a very good price (they had a sale on them).
All I want is standard rooting on the phone using Magisk so that I can use apps that require root priviliges.
I do not NEED custom recovery such as TWRP if that is not availble. Happy as long as I can get Magisk!
If someone would tell me exactly what to do to make this happen.
P.S: I did look for guides on XDA but I found none for the G31/G41 models.
If there is a current guide that would work please point me to it.
Kindest regards.

First of all thank you for your help.
I did find this tutorial before that you linked to but from all I've read you have to unlock the bootloader before following it, and also it felt a bit too easy to just flash it using stock recovery? Usually that is not permitted.
Also from what I understand you have to extract a certain boot image file from the original firmware and patch that using Magisk...
