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)

You can't. Even if you downgrade to 4.4.2 your bootloader version will stay on 41.13 (while original bootloader version for 4.4.2 was 41.11). This means that you can't unlock your device even if you downgrade. Try to ask on Motorola forum about 4.4.4 unlocking.
This is weird that everyone is having problems with the 4.4.4 bootloader i got it first try without any problems at all!

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.
I never rooted a device before so im quite a noob but i need help going back to 5.0.2 because the bootloader is locked on mm.
I heard of mobile upgrade q but does that work, sorry for asking noobish questions im just trying to learn.
have the same problem. updated to mm 6045L, but i didn't know that will have troubles with root and twrp on mm. who can help to downgrade firmware?
