At first I would like to say that unlocking bootloader and rooting always involves risk of bricking your devices.It all depends upon you whether you want to enjoy the freedom of being root user or not.There are many fools who root their devices without properly reading manual and the steps. There are many tutorials for safely rooting your devices..There are many forums regarding the unbrick and restoring the stock roms...If you properly follow the steps and measures then there is no way you can fail.
I used the link to root by moto g .Hope it will work for you..

hi thanks a lot for reply . im not really a newbie . i owned lenovo a516 and galaxy fit s5670 and installed custom roms and never brick them even soft brick . the thing scares me with my moto is that i found huge number of persons brick their phone . the link u gave says about xt1045 and i own xt1039 . is their risk ? my main question is if the unlocking process failed due to indequate files will this brick the phone or simple doesnt unlock and boot normally ?
i found some people had problems even doing a factory reset (after unlocking and playin with custom roms )
i want to unlock only because i want official cyanogenmod . so i will just flash one time

Its sure that the phone will not boot up if you messed up with bootloader .Because bootloader is the main component in starting up the phone. It may cause soft brick or hard brick depending upon your action.Sorry for the above link ..I think may be this for sure.

Lg G4 AT&T Bricked.

Hello , please i need help with my G4 at&t, is in bootloop.
Try to root the phone , apparently all went well until reboot, stay in bootloop .
and apply the factory reset and no change.
now it's worse , bring it to a technical service and They tried to fix it using a rom H811 and naw is totaly brick.

what root method are you using? i didnt know att G4 root was available

Currently, only the international version can be rooted.
The Op is S.O.L. The phone's partitions are probably screwed up due to attempt to root.

My advice? Spike the phone into the ground as hard as you possibly can, pay the deductible, and get yourself a new phone.

WTF did you do to try and root it?

I followed this tutorial:
https://www.androidroot.us.com/how-to-root-lg-g4/

why follow a guide from a dodgy/fake guide site and then come to XDA to ask for help?
if there was a way to root the device, xda would have the guide too, tried and tested.
don't have a clue what rubbish their software pushes onto your phone and what it does.
go to at&t you got home after a long day at work and saw your phone was off. it wouldn't switch on so you put it on charge and it's still dead in the morning

uhh No. It would be tot. Which is not available yet.
Sadly your out of luck, unless AT&T will replace it for you.

Should I root my MOTO G 2015? To get more storage?

Hello everyone! I didn't want to root my new MOTO G 2015 but I need more storage if I want to install more app's, I saw with root permissions we can transfer full sized app's to the sd, is it true? and how? I've seen already a guide how to root moto g 2015, but know I want to know how to transfer full sized app's to the SD and then i'll decide if I want to root or not.
Do you think I should root? It will be better If i want more storage?
Is it safe? The Lollipop will be automatically installed after the root? I have no need on install other Android OS.
Thank you!

Hey! I can see that you are new here, but rooting your phone isnt gonna delete anything of your data if you search on this forum for Link2sd than you will find a tuturial for how to do that. But if you dont understand any of the words "Brick" or "fastboot" you should do some research first.
success!

Hello HelpMeruth! And thank you for replying my question!
Here's what I already searched this is , i've got alot of information already but the information I got says my phone will be formatted I think. Brick I remember that word a long time ago when the PSP Scene I know it's not android but I remember it, it's like having a non funcional phone, bricked.
Here's the guide I saw: (I can't post links, if you can search on the youtube : "Moto G 3rd Gen(2015) - How to Root - Unlock Bootloader & Custom Recovery") and tell me if that guide will not brick or format my moto g 3
Any chance of getting bricked? It will remove my SIM Service? I have the phone just for a week and the warranty it's 2 here's, If I root the warranty goes out, is it worth rooting?
Thanks for the reply sir and yes i'm really new in the android scene, just came from the iOS one, got mad at iOS

I can confirm that your phone will not be formatted
The word brick means that your phone wont start up.
Its a gamble for everyone to root, so when you are gonna do it try just booting Twrp. That is the safest way to test it.
But strart with unlocking your bootloader thats already a big step for rooting (unlocking bootloader will format your data!)
If you got any questions send me message!
Its your choise to root or not

You do NOT need to unlock bootloader in order to root.
You DO need to unlock your bootloader for TWRP, unless booted temporarily.

What? you have to unlock the bootloader in order to boot/flash twrp.
and with twrp you can root, how do you root with locked bootloader?

You shouldnt be able to root with a locked bootloader, i quote: 'A locked bootloader locks write access to several partitions like the system partition. This is the reason why rooting is not able without unlocked bootloader.' found on this site https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-main-differences-between-Rooting-and-Unlocking-Bootloader
that tool just has a build in fastboot/adb and automate things for you.

Btw, If I install CyanogenMod it will reset my moto g firmware? Or install another firmware version? Thanks

Installing cyanogenmod will still keep you on 5.1.1 your device will just be modified (custom tweaks etc..) so if you have to unlock your bootloader it will void any warranties you have. If you don't have one or don't care just make sure to read carefully as you sound relatively new to CM and you don't want to brick your device.

Yes it will be modified to cyanogenmod firmware right? So the firmware updates from MOTO G 3 I had installed will go resetted to the cyanogenmod firmware right?

Correct.
Cm12.1 is just 5.1.1 that's why I said it would.
You may see custom aosp 6.0 ROMs before any real factory builds.

moto g 2015 boot loop

hi guys just wondering if anyone knows how to get a moto g 2015 (16gb) out of bootloader as it is stuck ? the bootloader is locked and i cant get it unlocked due to oem unlock turned off in settings. the phone will not boot up. This happened during a failed attempt of root (big mistake). Would be a big help if anyone knows.

Just reflash firmware images
Found here on xda forum

What root method were you attempting? Kingroot?

Yes i was using kingroot without an unlocked bootloader. Idiotic really. Do you have any solutions ?

Just see this thread, -

Another user had the same problem. The only difference in your case would be your firmware (XT abcd 1/2gb) and no. of sparsechunk files present (must flash them all).

Unlock The Bootloader

Get the Bootloader unlock code from MOTOROLA.

TWRP is done. Rooting made me into bootloop. I ran into issues when trying to flash back stock(I flashed the wrong firmware). Could anyone upload the NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn alone?

Does anyone know Motorola's official position on whether unlocking the bootloader also voids the warranty?

Not in every country though, in my case when I had hardbricked my 1st Gen Moto G I was given a replacement despite me unlocking the bootloader

Probably a replacement is decided on a case by case, so don't always depend on it. Also, this topic is from July...

Well it was because they had a faulty OTA 4.4.4 that when you upgraded from 4.4.2 it would hardbrick devices that unlocked their bootloader. Though I never told them that, just said that it just turned off during charging and after that it wouldn't turn on.

Actually they could easily if they wanted to even if my phone was dead, since when you request unlock code from Moto they void your warranty even if you didn't use it to unlock the bootloader which means that the service centre might be able to check if I requested an unlock code(some sort of database maybe? Idk) but they didn't so yeah pretty lucky.
