Hi all!
I have created a Moto G root solution - well, 2 actually. The first is a 'superboot' and I also have an alternate modified recovery method in case that doesn't work.
The downloads are stickied here - http://www.modaco.com/forum/751-motorola-moto-g/
The approach i've used for the alternate method should also let us do a custom (CWM / TWRP) recovery.
Cheers,
P
i have already linked both on the FAQ, directly to your original MoDaCo threads, so that most people could access them
[SIZE=+1]Q8: How to Root my device ?[/SIZE]Until now,you first need to unkock your bootloader,
Option 1 : then follow this guide [original thread - on MoDaCo]
Option 2 : via a customized recovery [original thread, on MoDaCo]

The first method is recommended as it doesn't mess with the recovery. But the second is there as a backup.

After you get root, please read Q19
one question though, is the second method to be used only if the first one failed or both are "equivalent" in terms of efficiency and risk taken ? If the second method works for everybody, then it should be the one preferred
edit : this thread should be stickied here too
Many thanks for this. Will there ever be an unlock for the boot loader that doesn't void our warranty?

Tried method A with Linux and Windows, didn't work. The second method worked like a charm as soon as I understood how to navigate the bootloader (note to me: read instructions on screen).
Good work.
recovery method works perfectly with my telcel Moto G, since the superboot method doesn't work.
I did it yesterday. The superboot.img worked good after the second time. The recovery didn't... My moto comes from German amazon.

I rooted my device with the first method - worked.
Now i was finally able to install Xposed to get rid of the carrier label and block Ads with Adaway
Thanks!
Successfully unlocked and rooted my Tesco 16GB using Paul's method 2 recovery type.
German retail version, Linux
Method 1: no go (3 attempts)
Method 2: success
GB retail, worked fine on first attempt using superboot Win7 32bits
Root
Recovery sideload method worked for me when superboot did not.
Had my Moto-G a couple of weeks now and its rooted with dpi set to 240 global and Xposed framework installed with app setting module so i can set other individual apps to other more usable dpi scale.
all in all this is a great device and priced in such a way that its an easy device to try any mod or attempt any hack without worrying too much
Cheers for the tools again Paul.
all we need now is a fully working recovery where we dont have to select the line above to perform the action we want, twrp would be super cool !
==PEACE==
Root with superboot r2, moto g dual sim Brazilian. Works fine.
Thanks
Both are failing for me. Says everything copies right but on boot up nothing. Also cant sideload the SU app.
--Edit--
I was able to get root by using TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2561757 and then flashing the SU app from the first method.
Rebooted opened the SU app and it asked to updated using TWPR
Phone flashed the updated files in TWRP
Rebooted phone with root access!
Tried solution 1 (no custom recovery) with Windows 7
no problems at all
Thanks
****** UPDATE ******
rooted a second Moto G - solution 1 (no custom recovery) - also working like a charm!
thanks for the Guide!
Moto G - German Version
So is there any method to unlock the bootloader without going through Motorola? Then you could unlock the bootloader but relock it if you need to send in your device for warranty service. Otherwise, they'll have your ID on file requesting an unlock code, and I assume would refuse any warranty service (wonder how strict they are about this?).

Unless someone cracks the protection that the ID provides (which may not even be possible if it is in hardware), no. By law in most countries in Europe the voiding your warranty part is a bit tricky, for obvious hardware failures, they would still have to support you in any case. In the US, you are, as usual, screwed..
If you only want to root, MAYBE someone can come up with a privilege escalation exploit that would do that job. Would be easier than trying to crack the bootloader protection, I'd imagine.
Hello there.
Hi, I fixed the problem was that I used the google back up of my previous phone with the motorola migration, I had to delete everything with the recovery mod and then it worked.
I got this problem what should I do. Thank you
Then I tried the other method and comes up device no found
Try running it as administrator

After unlock bootloader will be possible to re-lock in future? Or it will remain lock for always? Thanks
I have a Pixel from Verizon and want to downgrade back to Oreo from Android Pie. Is there a way to unlock the bootloader? Attempted to follow the instructions on another page and it did not work. Thanks.
I have a locked Verizon used, when I got it I unlocked using the exploit described in these guides. Now with Locked; Pie I don't see anyway to revert down to 8.1 unless you unlock first. If you have tried the various posts about unlocking and can't with Pie I don't see anyway. Which means Verizon and Google corrected that exploit with revisions to images.
If you took the September security update, then you're SOL for now. Pretty sure Google/Verizon patched the exploit. There was a separate image for just Verizon phones. The last time they did that was when they patched the dePixel8 exploit.
UPDATE: Somebody in the Pixel XL forums said they got the exploit working by rebooting twice after Step 8. Don't have the steps in front of me, but take a look and try them out. You never know.
These instructions worked to unlock my Verizon Pixel bootloader on the newest September 2018 firmware. Then I am able to flash any full OTA image. Then after flashing you can relock your bootloader. Instructions in the link below.
I cannot post links yet so google search "unlock-verizon-pixel-bootloader-870589"
Never relock your bootloader. [emoji849]

Use the above guide. I would reset your phone 2x then follow the directions. I waited 5 mins for oem unlock to become selectable
I found the following procedure to root my Honor 6X, but it seems to not list a few steps I've seen in other places, such as unlocking the bootloader. Do I need to unlock it with this guide? If so, how do I do so? What else is missing?

Thanks.

The first step in this procedure is install TWRP. If you followed the link on how to install TWRP then you wouldn't be asking this question.
The first step actually isn't TWRP but unlocking the bootloader, mandatory in way to proceed with everything else. Since that Crapwei has stopped support in doing so, you'll need to pay 3/4$ to third-party services (like DC-Phoenix in example, a service used by a lot of users here since that it's working and low cost) in way to unofficially unlock it. Just google for or search here on XDA some 'bout
Thanks for all the help guys!
Hi is there any way to do this?
Here is my reddit thread: reddit /r/androidroot/comments/hzxg4t/any_way_to_root_nokia_22/ (cannot put full url here)
It seems impossible for me. I would appreciate any help, in this post or in priv messages.
Just rooting the Nokia 2.2

I'm also looking on how to root my Nokia 2.2, and haven't found anything so far.
By the way the thread title is about "unlocking bootloader", which, as I understand is just one of the first steps of rooting. I'm following the install instructions from Magisk official github page. As I understand, unlooking the bootloader is a simple option in android once you unlock developer mode.
The only obstacle in going through with the Magisk install/rooting instructions, is that I can't find anywhere the "boot.img" file for the Nokia (btw, I'm looking to just root my phone, keepting android and all my user data), for Magisk to patch. Is there actually a specific "boot.img" for the Nokia 2.2, or is it possible to use one from another phone too?

Unlock the bootloader with this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-how-to-unlock-the-bootloader-for-nokia-2-2.4244039/
and then use the MT6761 scatter file (not the altunlock one) from that guide to flash the magisk patched boot.img attached to this reply using SP Flash Tool
Complete newbie here. I am trying to root my KB2007. I bought it on Amazon and after an update the Oxygen version is 11.0.13.13.KB05BA. I think I was able to get ADB figured out and the bootloader is now unlocked. I’ve looked at some guides and it seems like I will need a boot img that matches my phone to start rooting. I can’t seem to find this and my research has been telling me that the KB2007 is a T-mobile version that can have OEM unlocked can’t be done without a code even though I was able to without contacting T-mobile. Can anyone help me out or guide me on how to root my device?
