Root Moto G google play edition on Android 5.0.1 Lollipop - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First u to download the Philz touch recovery for GPE device, then you have to flash it using ADB and don't forget to backup your stock recovery.
Then download the SuperSU.zip v2.37 by chainfire as it supports root for all Lollipop devices, then flash it using the custom recovery you downloaded and flashed to your mobile and it successfully flashed and your device will get rooted....
Happy flashing and rooted the lollipop device......

There are many threads have info on how to root.. why did you started the thread in development section.. did you developed anything? Reported to mods for moving this thread to General section...

It is especially for people who are suffering to root on moto g gpe device after lollipop update.
So i think it will be helpful to them.

But it also worked on lollipop device,

The supersu installed the app to the system but didnt give the root privileges properly.

It gives the full root to the device but the thing is that , some root apps are not fully supporting in lollipop devices and think they will give full support in future updates....

Hey,
I struggled a lot with rooting my q3000 (4.4) too. None of the one-click-root apps will work.
You will have to use SP flash tools.
Sometimes the scatter file given in the (http://forum.xda-developers.com/q3000/development/index-xolo-q3000-t2835037) thread wont work. For that I had to download MTK Droid Tool. It will create your build specific scatter file. use that and you will be able to flash the recovery fine.
Make sure you use a recovery for KK
Just follow the instructions given on the thread carefully and you'll manage to root your phone just fine.
Dont forget to thank the Devs :good::good:

can't flash newer TWRP or KK

I have created a post in the transformerforums forum on this issue here:
http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/asus-transformer-tf101-roms/44647-unable-unzip-flash-katkiss-4-4-4-a.html
I am able to flash my tablet back to stock and root as well as install custom recovery using Easy Flash, but can't flash KK or a newer version of TWRP. I have run KK before (4.3 I think). Keep getting message that I'm unable to open the zip file.

Well, I was, but with a little help I have now successfully updated twrp to current version. Thanks SidneyK.
However, I am still unable to flash KK 4.4.4-033. I have also tried flashing older versions of KK (i.e., 4.3) with same result. Not sure what to do from here.
Update: Successfully installed KK 4.4.4 using the side loader feature of TWRP. Everything is now right with the world

Use AutoRec. It will downgrade your bootloader to be able to flash recovery.
Same issue here
Flashing it back to jellybean worked for me! Thank you again Xda !

How to backup stock recovery

Hello there
Does anyone know how to backup stock recovery without rooting on the XT1032?
Hello
If you have Root you can use Flashify from the PlayStore

I don't have root. But if I root then I'll have custom recovery and there will be no point then

First of all clear the misconception, if you root your phone it does not mean you should have a custom recovery and vice versa
Now if you want to backup your stock recovery either root your phone and use flashify
Or
Downlaod the stock firmware package of your device and it has raw fromat of recovery image
Or

Did you check to see if your bootloader is unlocked before you flashed TWRP. If your bootloader is locked it won't let you flash anything that isn't stock.
Flash your stock recovery back on the device and then check status of bootloader, if its locked, find the unlock method if one exists for your model and firmware build number. If you can unlock then you can flash TWRP.
Bt I flashed many rom, many times....I think bootloader is open

Use TWRP Manager from Playstore to flash your recovery again.
For future reference, TWRP will flash .zip and .img files, next time you can flash the TWRP update in TWRP instead of using an app. After flashing the updated TWRP you go back yo main menu and select Reboot and then select reboot recovery, it will boot reboot into the updated recovery.
Yaa 1stly I try with TWRP manager bt my phone is not listed there
And what is the easiest way to get recovery back

I think its a lollipop thing...
Actually most of the .img files can't be flashed in lollipop or MM wid any app
Either use another recovery to flash a recovery zip or with PC
Should I use sp flash tools..to go back to stock rom...?
