Hello everyone,
My phone got OTA Lolipop 5..0.2 update some time ago and i was looking for a guide how to flash custom recovery and root the phone but there are so many different topics and different versions and so on .. could someone provide me with correct link?
I want to root my phone so as i understand i need to unlock my bootloader (already did it), then flash custom recovery and superSU.
Is there any working guide for Lolipop stock ROM? What recovery, superSU ver. should i flash and where should i get them? Thanks.

Hello and good evening. My problem is that i rooted my phone around 4 months ago, to do that i had to install a custom recovery, which is TRWP, can't remember the version. Thing is, that i want to get my original recovery, so i can recieve the OTA for 5.1. I dowloaded some files from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/xt1039-moto-g-4g-stock-firmware-kxb21-t2805619 i got the brazilian firmware which is the one that is supossed to work with my phone. But in the files i see a recovery one, so my question is, should i follow the steps on the tutorial or i can flash just the recovery over the TRWP ? Thanks for your responses.

Flashing the complete stock firmware will overwrite your custom recovery with the stock one.
But you can also flash the stock recovery separately afterwards.
I know that Chainfire has stock recovery in his CF-AutoRoot files which will also replace the current recovery with the stock recovery.
Here is the CF-AutoRoot thread for your device: [KitKat] [Lollipop] Root XT1039/XT1040 CF-Auto-Root Peregrine By Chainfire by TheFixItMan.
If you need further help for your device, please register on xda and ask in the Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
Good luck !
Ok so I have a noob question. I have a boost mobile moto g 2013 xt1031 running lolli 5.1 and have unlocked the boot loader. Now want to root and install custom rom. Does phone have to be rooted first or can you do this all at the same time. Can I please get a step by step guide that explanes this process dont want to play guessing game.
1. unlock bootloader
2. install a custom recovery via fastboot
3. install a custom ROM via custom recovery
Only if your custom ROM doesn't include root:
4. install a root package
I seem to be having problems finding a recovery that will work with my xt1031 only one for version xt 1032.
I have an XT1031 and can confirm both of three are compatable. The link below is for the non-themed TWRP version.

This is the themed version. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24345424848487583

What version of SuperSU did you flash? Anything but 2.62-3 usually results in stuck on unlock bootloader warning.
unfortunately i do a tutorial of another site , in brazilian , and they didn't say that. I flashed a 2.46 version.
there are any solution for that or i have to use custom roms forever ?
(Also i didn't say but my moto G is the xt1543 version , brazil retail)

If you don't want to try 2.62-3, then you can stay with custom ROMs, but 2.62-3 is what you need to do. Many other threads in this forum indicate the same.
If you want stock ROM, flash the latest firmware for your phone from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/index-moto-g-factory-firmware-images-t3169639, using carefuly the steps from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-fastboot-flashing-factory-t3187750 (you will loose data, backup all you need in TitaniumBackup, for example).
Then flash the TWRP recovery and flash the SuperSU version 2.62-3 for MM stock ROM.
Reconfigure and restore everything.
You will not brick the phone if you use the latest firmware and do a factory reset before flashing.
Good luck.
Onde last question , i receive the ota of mototolla for Android mm and another one after , if i flash the stock 6.0 , i dont hard brick my phone ?( witch i AM realy afraid to do)
Anyone ? :/
Hello all, my problem is that I've unlocked the bootloader and tried CF Auto Root but it just hangs - I've since read it isn't compatible with 5.1.
So how do I root the phone now? Do I actually need a custom recovery, or can I just root it? In the past I've flashed a file from the sdcard and the phone was instantly rooted, so have no experience with recoveries.
Some of the guides I've found are a couple of years old so may be outdated, and there's so many different ways I've been going round in circles.
I have Motorola Device Manager and Minimal ADB + Fastboot installed on a Windows 10 PC, 5.1 version is 23.26.3 peregrine.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Find a compatible recovery for your phone , flash the recovery via adb and then flash SuperSU zip through it .
Thankyou, is there a recommended custom recovery for the xt1039 (Is cwm or twrp better?)?
Is the correct version for xt1039 twrp-3.0.2-0-peregrine.img? Found here: twrp(dot)me/devices/motorolamotog2013lte(dot)html And follow the 'Fastboot Install Method (No Root Required)' instructions?
Will this still work if I'm on 5.1, or does it not matter what version I'm on?
Thankyou for any help, as I said I haven't installed custom recovery before so am a bit unsure.
