I have a Moto G 1st gen XT1028 Verizon using PagePlusCellular running lollipop 5.1 and am exhausted trying to find a way to root. Is this possible, or am I beating a dead horse?

Has anyone rooted the xt1028 (Verizon) version of Moto G? If so, how would I?
Sadly, I think not. Throw me in the camp waiting for a solution.
Is anyone knows when the update will be available for this model?
I know that there was a part update for basic Moto G model from 2013.
Thank you for any replies,
Regards,

It seems like Motorola Engineers are not taking Moto G XT1032, XT1033, XT1039 and the another variants to serious, Phones with heavy UIs and apps like G3 and galaxy Note or Galaxy s5 has Lollipop.
Maybe after Google fixes memory leak problems in Lollipop.

I tested official CM12 and it has exacly same problem. ^
Heard news about a soak test that started today in India en Mexico... so I guess we won't have to wait much longer.
Same Question
I was asking myself the same thing, although if you want to you can simply flash the Brazilian official KitKat Firmaware (Be careful, I almost Bricked mine jajaja LoL), and then just install the Motorola Update Service app. This will let you update To lollipop.
Hello dearest developers,
I must firsthand apologies for any stupidity shown for I am a "Noob" regarding on this matter. However,
I need a simple clarification regarding on Moto G LTE 1st gen. I was wondering whether the Lollipop update had been pushed by Motorola for the phone? and if it had, why is my Moto G could not download the update service via Google Play? It says that it is not compatible with my device.
Your kind help and thoughts would be much appreciated Thank you

I guess I am one of the unlucky one to purchase the verizon prepaid Moto G from Bestbuy Sale to only find out that it came with 4.4.4 and could not be rooted.
Apparently nothing work at this moment.
However, it appears previously Moto G and Moto X had similar rooting method prior to 4.4.4, and someone has worked out a way to root verizon Moto X on 4.4.4 at here

I am wondering if it is possible someone could adapt this method to make it work with Moto G on 4.4.4?
Sucks But....
No. :/ I have been searching for about a year now. Verizon had Moto lock the BL on the G's that Verizon had intended on selling. I was not aware of it.. Looked at it the same day also saw the quad core and jumped on it. I will remember to study from now on. I have heard rumors about Verizon letting Moto Release the BL Code but I highly doubt that. For now it sits in the realm of silence, waiting ..... possibly forever.
Good Luck

You can nstall the moto g pro roms on US version moto g stylus. When the android 12 is released for moto g pro, you can flash it to moto g stylus and everything should work.

You don't need root to flash moto g pro roms onto moto g stylus. You just need to unlock the bootloader.
On some devices like Oneplus devices, there are even ways to cross-flash roms/firmwares without unlocking bootloader, like flashing global unlocked firmware to carrier-specific variants. On moto devices, it's also possible to cross flash different firmwares with locked bootloader but more complicated.
Unlocking bootloader and rooting are two different things.
You can have unlocked bootloader and non-root roms even though unlocked bootloader is usually a prerequisite of rooting.
On some devices, you can root without unlocked bootloader, usually through some exploits.
There's always more to learn. Thanks.
I just did the update to our G-Stylus now its a G-Pro running A12 with no issue so far and Android Auto wireless works much much better
one thing since A12 has more battery optimizing stuff built in i had to kill of a few otimizer apps seem they were fighting the system
Rooting was same as before so no problems so far
BUT NOT required to get A12 since i can assure u i had to do a clean ReRoot after the upgrade using the Moto upgrade tool....look for change software channel here in the forums.
still like the 2022 5G Stylus with 8gb Ram so that may happen but not such a rush now
