[Q] Help with root. - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, so i want to root my Moto G XT1033 16GB dual SIM running android 5.0.2.
I've bricked a smarthone before while trying to root it, so i want some help to root my phone the safest way possible. My warranty has already expired.
Obs: my phone is from brazil, i'm not sure if that changes anything.
I've attatched a screenshot if any other info is needed.

If you have a custom recovery installed you can flash it from there. Go here and grab SuperSU and follow the instructions.

You must unlock the bootloader before flashing a custom recovery otherwise it will not install
And do no download twrp for moto g from twrp's official site, it still have bugs

[Q] Moto G XT1032 rooting?

Hi all!
I'm a brand new owner of a Moto G XT1032, bought it on Amazon and got it today!
I've read the faqs and the resource guide, but I still don't know:
Is it possible to root this model number? And if yes, which method is best?
(I know I'd need to unlock the boot loader first)
I ask this because in the resource guide it's written that there is no supporting custom recovery for this variant and I don't understand if I can get root or not.
Thanks!
And forgive my English.
All versions are working.
In prefere PhilZ Recovery.
Just unlock Bootloader, flash PhilZ Recovery install SuperSU, done.

Thanks..
How about looking here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545688
There are no features to unlock.
Just follow my link above and flash this recovery.
You can read here how zou can flash.
Before that you have to unlock Bootloader.
You also might use the search function.

I didn't get root. I flashed with CWM but ir doesn't root.
Did you maybe delete root when leaving cwm? After rooting it asks you if it should unroot the system, maybe you clicked yes. Go into cwm again, flash your root ZIP, reboot and when it asks to disable recovery flash say yes, if it asks to unroot, say no.

[Q] [help] Trying to flash a custom ROM to moto g, getting "bootloader not supported"

[Q] [help] Trying to flash a custom ROM to moto g, getting "bootloader not supported"
My moto g is XT1031, the Boost Mobile version.
I've tried to flash CM, BlissPop ROM, flexOS, and others. I always get "Bootleader not supported. Operation Aborted".
I want to flash a custom ROM because Boost Mobile never pushed out lollipop, and I want to try it out. This is not my primary phone, and is only used on Wi-Fi.
My Moto G is Rooted (I have the SuperSU app) and the bootloader is unlocked (Get the warning message on boot).
I'm flashing via Clockwork mod revocery 6.0.4.7
Any help is strongly appreciated.
Thanks.
By the way, this is the exact message:
This package supports bootloader(s): 0x4118, 0x4119, 0x411A; this device has bootloader 0x4113.
(Status 7)
Operation Aborted.
I was able to flash Cyanogenmod 11 Snapshot M6 Falcon, but not sure what to do after that. It seems that the bootloader is not compatible with Lollipop?

You have two options
1- Either update your bootloader to lollipop one which is 41.19 for cdma variants
2-Edit the updater script and metadata file of rom to allow you to flash the rom
First method is risky but better because you dont have to edit the updater scrip of every rom you wanna flash

I have the links to bootloader for gsm variants but not CDMA
I am asking someone experienced that is @matmutant, so please wait for a day
Till then I will tell you how to edit the updater script and metadata (credits to @wskelly )
Extract the zip and go to
META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
META-INF/com/android/metadata
Alter the files as shown in the screenshots.
You will see the flickering/jumping of the screen on the first boot, but this will go away after you turn the screen off and then on once.
Screenshots are here

I found the download for bootloader 41.19 CDMA. Found here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934538145
I then flashed it via clockwork mod and then was able to flash BlissPop 5.1.1. All is working fine now, except the screen in clockwork mod has a flashing line. No big deal though, this doesn't impact the actual OS.
Thanks again for your help.

You have flickering screen in CWM recovery because it is based on kitkat bootloader
To remove
Just flash the latest TWRP by @h2o64 from xda ( not from official site )
Or try this unofficial Philz

EDIT: Thanks, after a clean install of superSU 2.62-3 it works But now when I tried to enter TWRP recovery it show me a "no command" logo
Anyone able to root TE?
Yes its working.
Twrp not working properly.
Main thing you need to do create twrp backup and copy its to your laptop after that try wipe option.
That means,steps will be
1. Unlock Bootloader
2. Install TWRP
3. BACK UP TWRP
3. WIPE CACHE
4. Flash supersu
That's it?
And one more question
after unlocking ,all user data will be deleted?

It will wipe system partition (all system apps and files). You can wipe system if you want to install new rom but there is no need for that. It's not recommended. Factory reset from TWRP is enough if you want to install new rom.
Thanks for the great app as its awaited since long. Have some question's for secure move from philz.
Can I install apk direct over lollipop? Now I am on tizen.
Any cm working version available for it?

Why? You can flash recovery on 10f firmware.
Why you need bumped 10f kernel?
On 10f bootloader you can use any kernel/recovery.
