So I am on pure stock Lollipop 5.0.2 for Moto G, and I need to root it to flash custom CM12.1 builds.
Can someone please guide me on unlocking the bootloader and doing other stuff on Moto G running lollipop?

Well first of all you don't need to root your phone to install cm12. What you have to do is unlock your boot loader (check Motorola's website) then flash a custom recovery such as TWRP and flash the ROM with g-apps. Will make a quick guide later today if you need it.

HI, Guys
My Moto G X1033 is currently running Brazil Lollipop 5.0.2. I have been looking for a successful way to covert to CM12. Is there any ways???
Thanks.
Convert what? You just flash the zip via custom recovery.

Flah a custom recovery
& wipe /data /cache /Dalvik-cache
Install the CM12 ROm & install GApps
Reboot the phone
Hey, Thanks. But I don't think this applies for the X1033 with updated bootloader. I have tried TWRP recovery, but the screen is flickering and the system didn't boot up after I flash CM12.
Hello,
I decided to go back to stock. I have a backup of the OS, I just need to get TWRP back to Motorola so I can install Lollipop. I don't have the Motorola Recovery stuff. Please help.

Hi,
Make some research for how to install twrp recovery and choose a rom... There is a lot, from modified & rooted stock to highly modified but also rooted.

2. Twrp recovery

3. Supersu

Simply you must unlock bootloader flash custom twrp recovery and through recovery flash supersu. Is there no one experienced developer bought this phone. ? Because we are lacking custom rom only.
I use moto g 2014 flash all mm roms,
Moto x play flash available mm roms, ijust bought 2 days back , within a day i unlocked bootloader, flash twrp, root , install xposed framework but not able to flash custom rom ,if any developer bought this phone kindly start any android development to this nice phone, please.
How can I flash a TextNow Moto E (2015 2nd gen) phone from TextNow's custom ROM to the stock ROM for Sprint?
Are there any step-by-step instructions for a first-time flasher? And where can I obtain a copy of the stock ROM for Sprint (Boost or Virgin should also be okay.)
Thank You
First you would need to unlock the bootloader in order to flash the stock ROM.
After that you would need to install a custom recovery to make the installation process easier.
I guess you could easily find the stock ROM and the recovery easily for moto e.(google)

Thanks.
Wouldn't the bootloader be unlocked already since TextNow installed their custom ROM? How can I check the bootloader's lock status and unlock it if necessary?
How do I obtain and install the custom recovery?
