[Q] Help with root.

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

updating bootloader moto g 4g

hi
i successfully unlocked the bootloader when i was in stock kk and installed twrp 2.8.3 and tested several roms
i did a backup of my stock kk with twrp before testing custom roms
i want to update boot loader
if i restore stock kk and then update to official ota lp , will the bootloader be updated ?

The same problem
I'm on CM 12.1 nightly 2015-07-20 and tried to update to 2015-07-23 and it aborts at the beginning and doesn't let me update because my bootloader isn't updated, I want to know the solution because I don't want to stay in this version for ever.

Bootloader Upgrade Utility: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/falcon-bootloader-upgrader-tool-t3093793
It supports Moto G 4G also.

XT 1045 user here checking in, same issue! Unfortunately the only bootloader updates I can find only apply to the '32, '33, and '34. Guess I'll be stuck on CM-12.1-20150719 until I can find a fix.

@tycho5ive - The Bootloader Upgrade Utility I link to above supports XT1045 and will update your Bootloader correctly.

I found a Xda post about Installing TWRP recovery on Moto G Turbo.If that works then we can easily flash the latest SuperSu to get root on Moto G Turbo.
TWRP On Moto G Turbo Editon Xda Post >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/orig-development/twrp-twrp-moto-g-turbo-t3295098/
There is another guide to root Moto G turbo based on that Xda post.
How To Install TWRP Recovery & Root Moto G Turbo Edition 2015 > http://rootmygalaxy.net/install-twrp-recovery-root-moto-g-turbo-edition-2015/
According to the person who posted it on Xda, TWRP is not tested yet.

Restore your twrp backup, then reboot into system don't install supersu then after reboot again enter twrp then flash supersu. I wipe dalwik and cache after flash supersu, then reboot into system. DON'T ALLOW TWRP TO INSTALL SUPERSU .

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?

Anyone tried to flash SuperSU v2.79, the latest version of SuperSU? It supports even Android 7.1. My bootloader is locked and I don't want to void my warranty just yet, as Nougat can't be rooted as of now.

Means, as of now, there is no way to root Official Nougat,

[Test Version only] 7.1.1 NOUGAT update for moto x play

Moderator Edit:
Anyone wishing to try this needs to be aware that it is potentially unstable and a non-released version.
Those who guys eager to update their moto x play and taste the latest version.
And waiting is over
Here is the link.
Moto X Play Nougat Update Download: The Nougat 7.1.1 update has been made available for Moto X Play and now you can manually download and update the same on the device. Ever since Moto’s announcement for the Nougat update on Moto X Play, people have been waiting to grab the OTA. But the OTA prompt is not yet made available for every user and it takes a while to complete the latest firmware rollout.
Moto X Play has released in India two years ago with Android Lollipop (5.0) pre-installed and the manufacturer had confirmed that it would get the latest Nougat 7.1 update without much delay. But the surprising fact is that Moto X Play didn’t receive an incremental update to Marshmallow firmware. Which means, straight from the Lollipop version, you can update your Moto X Play to latest Nougat 7.1.1 firmware.
Nougat update for Moto X Play in India has become a trending keyword nowadays after Moto’s official announcement (Moto X Play Nougat update India release date) and I’ve been getting numerous messages regarding the same. So let’s see how to manually update Moto X Play to Nougat 7.1.1 firmware.
Moto X Play 7.1.1 Update: Pre-requisites
Check whether you have received the update via OTA from the System Updates option. If not, proceed further.
Download and install Moto X Play USB drivers on your PC. [Check the below download section]
Similarly, make sure you have installed necessary ADB & Fastboot drivers. If not, download from below.
Make a full backup of your phone’s internal memory and calls/message logs. It gets wiped.
Maintain a decent battery juice on your X Play.
Install by these commands
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B2fcCTfy55gEWnBRZFp2dlZ3c1k&export=download
Sorry for my poor english.
Special Note
You cannot downgrade the device once it’s upgraded to the Nougat firmware unless the bootloader is unlocked.
The root access will be lost upon performing the firmware update.
The bootloader status doesn’t change, however.
The data may be wiped and cannot be recovered easily. So I strongly advise you take a full backup.
Now you have successfully updated Moto X Play to Nougat 7.1.1 firmware using the official fastboot image. Flashing the official firmware doesn’t void the warranty, but an incorrect execution of the command may brick your device. So proper care should be taken.
Thanks
Please press thanks button if I helped

Retail Asia dual sim

you did forget to say that it is the pre soak test build, not the latest one, dude

Sorry dude ....I am eager post the link for people who are long awaiting.. Anyhow please test it.

any bug ???

as far as i have heard, its very buggy and have even caused boot loop

Oh that's really bad.
I didn't test it yet.whenever I install will write down pros n cons.

I hope this thread will help people understand why Motorola/Lenovo bans users who upload private builds.
Nowhere in the first post it is mentioned that it is NOT an official build. And "please test it" is totally what's NOT recommended.
PS: Guys, with each version, Android uses more RAM and battery. Don't be that impatient.

This is soak test firmware, beta version at best, not meant to be used outside official testers community. It won't pass SafetyNet for those reasons.

OP, where did you get this official Nougat rom? This is the real deal, not soak test version right?
