Hi, I wondered to know which is the safest way to root our moto g. I don't want to wipe data or delete system partition or even install custom recoveries. Is possibile to just get root access without modify too much our device?
My device: XT1032
Currently with: 5.0.2 stock
Thanks

Is your bootloader unlocked? If not you have to, and when you do, your data will be wiped.
If you are unlocked, download cfauto root for your device and it's pretty much one click to root.
Damn, I didn't want to backup and restore all my data.
Just another question: bootloader unlocked means warranty void, doesn't it? Can I lock the bootloader again in order to have the warranty valid again?

You can relock it, but as you need to request the unlock code from motorola it's pointless relocking it.
In fact motorola say just requesting the code voids the warranty even if you don't use it!
Thank you for the useful information
guide?

Download cfauto root for your device to your computer from here
1: Boot the phone into bootloader
2: Connect device to the computer with a USB cable
3: Unzip the CF-Auto-Root-xxx-xxx-xxx.zip file on the computer
4: Run the root-windows.bat file
That's it:good:
Flash custom recovery > flash Superuser.zip > profit.
You do not use root exploits when you have a unlocked bootloader.

Hey Guys, I am curious as to if this device can be returned to stock after rooting / unlocking. I'm also wondering if we can root it and flash custom recovery without unlocking the boot loader. Also, once you have changed roms can you go back to the stock rom and ASUS not know?

Not sure I understand your first question. Rooting and/or unlocking does not remove your stock rom...
And no, you must be unlocked to flash custom recovery . And no, it is not possible to relock, so ASUS will know your device has been unlocked,
hmm.

Lame Do you have to be unlocked to Root and Debloat?

Rooting locked is sufficient to remove bloatware.

No, you will not loose the OTA update. I did it and I got the first update.
after the ota update i lose root, twrp and BTL return locked ?

You will most likely lose root and TWRP, but your bootloader should remain unlocked.
thanks guys, last question there is some risk to unlock the bootloader ?

If you're worried about bricking the device, the risk is very low. All you are doing is simply typing "fastboot oem unlock". It isnt meant to be anything dangerous or risky.
In terms of security however, there are some risks. If your bootloader is unlocked, a thief can easily flash a recovery and pull your potentially important and private information/data. Although the likelihood of the thief knowing how to do this is very low.
Sir will this guide also work for Oneplusone on cm13-Incremental-OTA-Official?
searching everywhere but couldn't find any guide to unlock bootloader on official Cos13.If anybody has successfully unlocked his bootloader on official cm13 then kindly guide the same to me.
Thank You.

watch this video to unlock it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIdJg7KNH3A
and a bootloader allows you to flash kernels/recovers/ and other custom things but only if it is unlocked.
with custom recovery you can install roms,make full system backup,and other things.
a custom kernel wil allow you to overclock cpu/gpu and more.
a custom recovery can be used to flash root.update zip.
but after unlocking bootloader you void your warranty . and your device got hard reset(factory reset)
it can be only unlocked if it is allowed to be unlocked.

Not entirely true, at least to all devices. I have a Moto Defy which also has a locked bootloader, no way to unlock, running KK CM11. Developer @pedrodh has managed to create an app called "2ndinit" (1) which allows a second kernel to boot on top of the locked one, allowing to flash new builds despite the locked bootloader. Because of this, Defy is known as unbricable. Similar approach could be used on E3 if some devel take a look into this.

Follow the process on the linked page above If you don't already have the Android SDK and ADB installed, you'll need to do that, or eventually just install Minimal ADB and Fastboot.
Edit: apparently got ninja'd.
Edit2: ups, apparently I also suck at reading questions - so unless you're looking to unlock your bootloader, just follow robkellie11's link.
You can root without unlocking bootloader Bro, downgrade to 5.0.1 and use kingroot root

If you Backup your TA Partition, you can restore the DRM Keys and your bootloader status, there for you should be able to use your warranty IF you're on a stock rom while sending your phone for repairs etc.
You can backup your TA Partition by using THIS

Sure... if you unlock the bootloader, which will also wipe the device and remove encryption.

Guess I am not sure what encryption would have to do with it... Root applies to /boot and-or /system, not /data, encryption does nothing to the system or "ROM", just the user data stuff is encrypted.
To make root, or install custom recovery, or make any changes to /system you must unlock the bootloader, it is mandatory. And prior to that you must enable "OEM Unlocking" in the Developers menu. Then when you unlock the bootloader, it will wipe the device, no way around it, and that will remove the encryption and erase all user data. Encryption itself is not really an issue here.

Thanks for the link dude !
Considering that i have to unlock the bootloader i think that i will install a Cyano rom.
In that case all should works, it isn't?
