[Q] Moto G 4G XT1039 Root

Anyone had any success with root on Moto G 4G XT1039? Haven't tried it myself, as I am unsure what to do, especially with no stock rom or custom recovery available as far as I am aware. A little hesitant to try it without advice. About to try the following:
1. Unlock bootloader via Motorola Website
2. Fastboot flash boot recovery (XT1032)
3. Flash SuperSU

Hello,
I'm new here and will follow this with great interest. I'm about to receive mine, supposed to be a XT1039 too.
Keep up.

2. Fastboot flash TWRP recovery (Should I do XT1032 or XT1045 recovery - I've seen posts suggest both but noone has confirmed??)
3. Flash SuperSU

From what I've read, there is no 100% working recovery for the xt1039 - I *booted* from the xt1045 recovery to install the SuperSU.zip, and it worked absolutely fine on my xt1039. Just run "fastboot boot recovery recovery.img"

have you came across this thread? the custom recovery won't work but you will be rooted...

Hello , I 'm new here and I have a Moto G 4G XT1039 ( Nextel Brazil ) , I really want to install the CM on my smartphone , but I can not do root, should I use the recovery of xt1032 to the root?
Thanks

[Q] I need help with an OTA update on my rooted Moto G?

Okay so basically, today I got the request of installing the Android 4.4.4 kitkat update on my rooted moto g. I press yes and that my phone shut off as it's meant to be. Then this is when the problem occurs; when it turns back on it goes to TWRP and it goes the the normal page of TWRP. I reboot my phone to try again and the same thing happens. Can someone help me to get rid of this problem and to install the Android 4.4.4 kitkat update on my rooted moto g? Will be much appreciated :good:
P.S: The Android update was from Google.

Installing an OTA on a Rooted Phone with Custom Recovery is not advisable!

I tried too and the installation stops and comes out an error with /system/framework/core.odex.
I tried to flash again stock recovery but it persists..

Same here. Had to flash stock recovery from bootloader (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) and then reboot, and let the phone reboot and apply the system update.
All is good, and it kept root... No need to have the system breaking TWRP on there.

I get an error while updating, it just says ''error''. I have stock kernel, stock recovery, unrooted... Nothing seems to work, but I think the problem might be that I have a custom boot animation. Is there any way to flash the 4.4.2 stock UK rom?

Do you have a moto g ? I did a factory reset which meant that the update wouldn''t keep shutting down my phone and then it would go to TWRP. So how do I install the 4.4.4 update?

Always booting recovery

Hello
Im using CDMA Moto G XT1031.
I have tried every possible way to go back stock but the phone refuses. Even stock recovery will not show the red exclamation mark and continuous bootloops.
I have tried TWRP but no luck. Only Philz works, so I tapped Clean to install new ROM and flashed CM 11 Nightly via USB OTG (because sideload was not working however fastboot works)
Now even CM refuses to start and throws me back to recovery.
Please help
Thanks

But is it safe to flash a GSM image on CDMA just to revive it from virtually dead since factory recovery is also not working, only Philz works?

the point is that you must flash your moto g with a higher android version from what your moto g installed,...example if you have this problem on 4.3 so you must flash 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 and if on 4.4.2,so flash with 4.4.4..if for this time 4.4.4 update for cdma moto g was not yet available,i think u must wait until 4.4.4 update's coming.
i think cdma and gsm img is a different.

You have to be complete stock, no root, stock recovery and kernel.
Unrooting and flashing the stock recovery and kernel will NOT work,
you will need to flash the 4.4.4 firmware first.

I did flash it to stock ROM but still it showed signature verification failed and some root error. BTW I still have cwm not the original recovery !!

well apparently you dont clearly read the guides,you cant install official updates with custom recovery, you need everything original stock and no root. read the guides first before posting

Get the recovery.img and run "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" from bootloader mode.
Do it at your own risk^^^

everything worked perfectly
I flashed recovery as u advised me then did everything which was suggested in the original thread the only problem was recovery stock recovery is pretty tricky thing to open I had to press volume up for 9 sec for 10th sec the power button at the same time and it worked
Thnx everyone I really appreciate it

[Completed] Moto G wont start

Hi, I have a moto G XT1033. I have rooted and installed Cynogen. After that I have installed 4.4.4 stock Rom. By mistake I have installed a custom recovery and my phone stuck on bootloader. After that somehow I managed to install 4.4.4 stock rom. Its working fine that day. Next day I got update to 5.0.2 and I downloaded the update file. While installing that fine phone got turned off and not starting. I dont know what to do. Is there any solution to turn on my phone?

Hi and thank you for using XDA Assist
That's most probably because you left the custom recovery.
You need to flash again the stock recovery and try again to make the update.
Good luck!
