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)

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:

hey guys,
just a question: when there will come out a new update after 4.4.4 (probably Android L), how will we be able to unroot because we can't downgrade anymore when we have installed 4.4.4... I always use the sticky topic "GUIDE: how to restore Moto G to stock" and use the flashall.bat script to restore everything to 4.3 when there is an update. Thoughts?
Greetings
We just wait for the 4.4.4 factory images.

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 ?!

His phone cannot be unlocked according to motorola? I thought you could flash stock roms
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.
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)
