[Q] Unlock, root, and install roms on Moto G (1st gen) xt1028? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I was just wondering if this was possible, aside from that temporary root method.
When I do that thing for retrieving an unlock code on the motorola site, it says I'm not eligible to unlock my phone, but there has to be another way, right?
I was just wondering, if there was anybody who had this phone, and who already had theirs unlocked, thanks

Not yet
Hi! I've just own this device used from verizon with kitkat 4.4.4. And all metods not working for me: I can't unlock bootloader using motorola site, even for now can't find how get temproot (towelrool and moto PIE - nothing happens), and they says that this methods fails on 4.4.4 firmware((. SunShine also not working - it reqires temp root & maybe also didn't work on 4.4.4). So will be waiting... If something happens (also if temproot is possible) - please let me know!!!
P.S. But maybe on locked bootloader & official firmware we get OTA of LoliPop 5.0 soon!!

[Q] Root & Bootloader unlock

Ok, I am new to this forum so please excuse me if I posted this incorrectly or if there might be another thread similar! (I tired searching but could not find anything so please don't scorn me )
So this is my problem...
I have the Moto G 2013 Verizon Non-Dev (XT1028) that I am sick and tired of seeing "lollipop will be coming soon!" But it being a non-dev edition it does not qualify for Motorola's Official Bootloader Unlock. I searched everywhere on YouTube (yeah, yeah, not the reliable...) and Google on how to root and bootloader unlock but none of those things have helped me. Let me cut to the chase!
Basically I am on 4.4.4
~~~Rooting~~~
It requires my bootloader to be unlocked
~~~Unlocking Bootloader (unofficially)~~~
Using Sunshine~
"Your device has to be rooted in order to check for compatibility. " (not the exact message but the gist is I cant unlock because I don't have root)
So with those two being in mind are there anyways to bypass one or the other? I'm stuck in an infinite loop between being able to root requires a bootloader unlock and the bootloader unlock requires a root to do... Any known ways to root 4.4.4 without bootloader unlock OR unlock my bootloader officially or unofficially?
P.S. This is my first post as well so I'm not sure if my random babbling helped explain so if any information is needed I can try to provide it! Thanks for any help and suggestions

How to root the Moto G? (Also, can't unlock bootloader!)

So I'm having questions and issues with my Moto G. (XT1032)
1. Is there any way to root the Moto G without unlocking the bootloader? I'm having issues unlocking it (next issue).
2. I can't seem to unlock the bootloader on the Moto G. I'm trying to install CyanogenMod but when I go to unlock it on the Motorola website and put the unlock code from adb/fastboot, it says My phone's bootloader can't be unlocked!
So if you have any idea how to help me, please reply.
EDIT: Don't recommend me to flash a recovery like TWRP or ClockWork Mod Recovery. I need to unlock the bootloader. (I think)
Make 100% sure are putting the code in to the website with NO spaces.
I'm not aware of a way to root without unlocking.
Thanks so much!
Yeah depends what version of moto g you have as Motorola won't unlock certain ones... And seems like yours is one that can't be
Actually, it was a weird thing with the unlock code from fast boot having random spaces when I paste it into the checker, but now my Moto G is running CM12.1 with Root! Thanks a lot everyone!

I'm glad you solved it, but, actually, some people have a problem unlocking their bootloader, i had that problem with a mexican xt1032, in case someone needs this; search for:
Bootloader Unlock Problems?
in the forum at the motorola web site

Droid Ultra Maxx 4.4.4 SU 6-7 Unlock Possibilities

So I dropped my original Droid Maxx in water and had to get a new one. Unfortunately, the new device came with a new update that I have since downgraded to 4.4.4 SU 6.7 and rooted it.
My goal is to get back to an unlocked boot loader via the Sunshine app. but I need to downgrade first.
Is there any current way to do this?
I have tried to downgrade the 4.4.4 SU6-7 to 4.2.2 and 4.4.4 SU4-21 on RSD Lite with multiple failures on "flash partition "gpt.bin"
Does anyone know of a way to downgrade or did I lose a lot more than just my phone in the water?
Thanks in advance...

Unfortunately, there is no possible way that you can unlock the bootloader, if you are once upgraded to version 4.4.4 SU 6-7.... unless your device is a developer edition.

Atleast nobody has found a vulnerability and written and exploit yet. I'm sure there is a targetable vulnerability, rather someone can find it and figure out how to exploit it to achieve unlock is entirely another matter.
UGGGHHHH! Math it...I'm going out for a Droid Turbo. I found a thread with a confirmed bootloader unlock and root. Thanks for the info gents.

Can anyone give the latest working method for unlocking bootloader and root?

I have my XT 1033( falcon) just lying around in good condition and I want to root it. Please mention any apps or patches that can make this phone thrive again.
You have to find out if it is eligible for bootloader unlock. Go to Motorola site and check.
