hi.
I have successfully unlocked the bootloader on my moto G 4G (LTE) or XT1039 that has been upgraded to android 5.1
But using old procedure to root it(for android 4.4.4), i doesn't work. I have tried with booting twrp (for the xt1032) and it gets stuck at the motorola logo it displays when shutting down. So it doesn't reboot.
I tried the twrp for xt1032. And it's the same.
I tried twrp for the moto titan but this time seems to become dead. But it's ok to reboot it
I tried the chainfire CAFR autoroot dot chainfire dot eu but the red android never show up and it jsut reboots as normal.
I don't want to flash a custom recovery or a custom rom. I just want to root it. That's why I have unlocked the booloader in the first place.
Anyone got a working solution ?
Is it garanteed it will work with a custom recovery ? and flash a custom rom ?

Sorry for the noise but one of these method in fact DID work because I have now root, as I have just discovered by surprise. Could someone delete this thread.

Anyone had any success with root on Moto G 4G XT1039? Haven't tried it myself, as I am unsure what to do, especially with no stock rom or custom recovery available as far as I am aware. A little hesitant to try it without advice. About to try the following:
1. Unlock bootloader via Motorola Website
2. Fastboot flash boot recovery (XT1032)
3. Flash SuperSU
Hello,
I'm new here and will follow this with great interest. I'm about to receive mine, supposed to be a XT1039 too.
Keep up.

From what I've read, there is no 100% working recovery for the xt1039 - I *booted* from the xt1045 recovery to install the SuperSU.zip, and it worked absolutely fine on my xt1039. Just run "fastboot boot recovery recovery.img"
have you came across this thread? the custom recovery won't work but you will be rooted...

Hey folks,
i got a serious issue with my MotoG...
I tried to install/flash the GPe Rom (Android 4.4.2) here from xda and it fully worked. After the install process i received the OTA Update to Android 4.4.4 and installed it with the stock recovery. The result was a working up to date GPe rom where i deleted some system apps. I rebooted the phone and got stuck at the boot logo from Google with the unlocked symbol. A full wipe and reflash of the GPe Rom didn't fixed the problem. The phone sticks at the boot logo. After this i tried to reflash the Motorola Rom which didnt fixed it either....
My guess is that the OTA Update from GPe changed something which can't be fixed with older firmware flashes...!?
After a couple of hours of work i pushed via adb my CWM backup to the internal storage and restored it. My Moto booted and i was finally able to get it back to run the stockrom.
Then i saw something weird... The google logo with the unlock symbol stays and then the motorola boot logo appears and im not able to flash via fastboot other rom
Anyone experience similar or the same problem after restore from GPe 4.4.4 to lower Android version 4.4.2?
Thanks in advance for help and tipps

Okay so basically, today I got the request of installing the Android 4.4.4 kitkat update on my rooted moto g. I press yes and that my phone shut off as it's meant to be. Then this is when the problem occurs; when it turns back on it goes to TWRP and it goes the the normal page of TWRP. I reboot my phone to try again and the same thing happens. Can someone help me to get rid of this problem and to install the Android 4.4.4 kitkat update on my rooted moto g? Will be much appreciated :good:
P.S: The Android update was from Google.
Installing an OTA on a Rooted Phone with Custom Recovery is not advisable!

I tried too and the installation stops and comes out an error with /system/framework/core.odex.
I tried to flash again stock recovery but it persists..

Same here. Had to flash stock recovery from bootloader (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) and then reboot, and let the phone reboot and apply the system update.
All is good, and it kept root... No need to have the system breaking TWRP on there.
I get an error while updating, it just says ''error''. I have stock kernel, stock recovery, unrooted... Nothing seems to work, but I think the problem might be that I have a custom boot animation. Is there any way to flash the 4.4.2 stock UK rom?

Do you have a moto g ? I did a factory reset which meant that the update wouldn''t keep shutting down my phone and then it would go to TWRP. So how do I install the 4.4.4 update?
Hello
Im using CDMA Moto G XT1031.
I have tried every possible way to go back stock but the phone refuses. Even stock recovery will not show the red exclamation mark and continuous bootloops.
I have tried TWRP but no luck. Only Philz works, so I tapped Clean to install new ROM and flashed CM 11 Nightly via USB OTG (because sideload was not working however fastboot works)
Now even CM refuses to start and throws me back to recovery.
Please help
Thanks

But is it safe to flash a GSM image on CDMA just to revive it from virtually dead since factory recovery is also not working, only Philz works?

the point is that you must flash your moto g with a higher android version from what your moto g installed,...example if you have this problem on 4.3 so you must flash 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 and if on 4.4.2,so flash with 4.4.4..if for this time 4.4.4 update for cdma moto g was not yet available,i think u must wait until 4.4.4 update's coming.
i think cdma and gsm img is a different.
Hi, please I would like to install a ROM in my moto g 4g xt1040. Once I tried to install slim kat and it worked good. I used twrp recovery with my device rooted to flash slimkat ROM... Then I notice that there was a ROM , cyanogen mod 12, and I tried to flash it as I did with slimkat. But I did something wrong because it booted normal, but the screen was flickering, and I had no signal. So I had to get back to stock ROM. I restore a stock rom i found here in moto g 4g section, then I installed twrp recovery again, but I could not root my phone anymore, there was a message ( root missing , do you wish to install root , or you will lose root. I tried to install cwm recovery , but it was the same. I think that the stock ROM I flashed to restore my phone is not okay. I can not flash any other ROM anymore.
Someone can help me please. Maybe I am doing something wrong. If someone need more information, just ask me.
Thanks a lot ( sorry for my english)( new a world of rooms)

Hey, did you try re locking the bootloader and then unlocking it? And when you went to cm 12, why didn't you go back to slim kat?
Sent from my XT1064 using Tapatalk
Hello, I did not re locked the bootloader and locked it again. I have read something about update the bootloader, but I dont know exactly what to do first.
I didnt go back to slimkat because I have no signal for 3g ... When I set the APN a put all the necesary values for it, but when I put save it dessappered. The ROM didnt save the APN . that is why I tried CM 12, but my screen was flickering and I had no signal. The ROM didnt recognize me the sim card.
I tried to restore to stock my phone, and I installed stock brazil ROM( I am from Perú ), but after that I could not root my phone anymore.
I tried these roms for my moto g after installing stock brazil ROM with no root access.
CM12
SLIM 5.1
RESURECTION REMIX
PARANOID ANDROID.
all of them didnt boot or the screen flickered. In some cases there was a screen of " encryptation was not complete, restore to fábric and reboot" ( I think that is the message) .
If you can help me to install a ROM for my phone , or a stock ROM but with root.
Thank you
