Hey, I just upgraded to 4.4.4, I was stock to begin with, but I'd really like to root and get to flashing some roms... Can anyone point me in the direction where I can do so?
Anyone?

im guessing you have a Moto G as your posting in moto g Q&A so look for "philz_touch_6.55.0-falcon" or TWRP for falcon as falcon is the moto g codename you will need to unlock your boot loader there are MANY tutorials on doing this flash the custom recovery and BAM your flashing

I have the Verizon version. I can't unlock the bootloader, that's where my issue comes into play. Haven't seen a safe strap recovery but I'm not too concerned with flashing really. I just want root access. Does anyone know of a way to root the Verizon Moto G running 4.4.4?

I'm thinking of purchasing a moto g heading toward the GPE. Just want something to mess with here and there even though I don't really need it. I have a gs5 (at&t) which currently has nothing for now so I'd figure I'd buy a moto g since it's the best cheapest nexus like device out right now. With that being said..if I purchase a GPE Moto G will I be able to flash roms in the development thread? Is there any difference between the GPE and the orig. Moto g? Just want to know before I buy one.
Thanks in advance

just purchase the normal xt1032 moto g. it's cheaper than the gpe edition. you can also flash the gpe edition rom onto it if you unlock the bootloader. you will get updates and everything just like you would with the gpe edition. only difference is you need to have an unlocked bootloader

This is a question meant for the q/a thread. If you had read the stickies, you would have had your answer.
Anyways, you'll have to first unlock your boot loader and then flash a custom recovery like TWRP. After that flash SuperSU zip.

try cwm
I available the official TWRP recovery, higly recommended. Go to their official site, look for your specific device and install it through adb fastboot
So I have a Boost Moto G(1031) that I unlocked the Bootloader on & put the stock Verizon Moto G(XT1028) firmware on so I can OTA on Page Plus & make Life easier later. I was wondering if any one has tried to put the Verizon CM on this device setup like this or any other Verizon Rom for that matter. If so did it work?, Brick it? Error Out? what was the result's & what Version of android were you on when you tried this? I would like to have the latest Cyanogenmod 11 for Moto G on my device but some places I see 1028 & others I see 1031 so just wondering the outcome before I try cause im sure someone has tried this already. Thanks for any info
Boost Moto G with Verizon rom
I have the Boost Moto G programmed for PagePlus also. I have installed several of the rom's, both cm and asop with no problems such as "brick" or looping as you are worried about. Each of the different rom's seem to have their own issues you probably have read about in the forums.
I'm no expert, but I think as long as you have adb and fastboot figured out and follow the guides you'll do alright.
Currently I'm using the Flashable ZIP Stock Motorola firmware in the development forum and it is working very well for me.
I'm using Android version 4.4.4
Good Luck!

Right on. Yea all custom roms seem to have their own issues whatever they may be. I'm as well on 4.4.4 stock I haven't rooted yet cause I wasn't sure if I would be able to use the Roms for a Verizon device & hadn't seen any info on it. Thanks for the info I'll get her rooted & start playing yay!!
Only reason im posting this is because i saw some mixed things. So basically my buddy has a moto g. Cricket, locked bootloader his device cannot be unlocked. Now his device is on 4.4.2 and hes gomma be a long way from lollipop. So im wondering if he can flash the moto g to thr gpe 4.4.4 edition then be able to update to lollipop?
I'm waiting for a little bit until lollipop is stable on moto g.
I saw many guys who are stucking on downgrade from lollipop to KK.
The gpe version on my phone is running flawlesssly.
How would he flash GPE (or any other ROM) with a locked bootloader?
Unlock it ?!
