Yes..u can root the phone..!:good:

While you can unlock the bootloader from the Motorola website, you will be able to root it, so you can always root, no matter the Android version (unless Moto decides to go all Samsung on us and change the security system in the bootloader)

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)

Flashing question?

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 ?!

[Q] Can I downgrade the Bootloader?

Hi guys. I updated my Moto G to the Lollipop (and I didn't like), and my bootloader was updated to the 41.10 version, and, when I downgraded to the KitKat, it show a bug in the screen, and I looked in XDA that there is 'cause the KitKat is running in Lollipop bootloader. I want to know if I can downgrade my bootloader to a KitKat version?
Thanks...

If that was possible there wouldn't be so many "I bricked my moto g because I downgraded to 4.4.2 instead of 4.4.4 for some stupid reason" threads, now would there? Anyways, it looks as if your phone can still turn on so just look in any of the threads that tell you how to fix that problem. No, you can't downgrade the bootloader version.

Downgrading?

Hello everyone, im simply wondering if i have to unlock my bootloader to downgrade from lollipop to kitkat, i hate how their is no silent so do i?

Yes.
