I don't think I want to unlock my bootloader, all that leaves is safestrap. Is anybody thinking about it?

Is there a way to root while keeping the otas in moto g? I don't plan to change kernel/uninstall stock apps, just using xposed, and a couple of root apps. From what I've heard, probably keeping stock bootloader could just make it, if that is correct, would that be dangerous (maybe a possibility of a hard brick)?
Also I would like to know if with an unlocked bootloader and soft brick would be possible to run cwm from adb without replacing stock bootloader, just to solve the brick from there.
it works for me with root and PhilZ cwm. OTAs are coming and installing normally

No. No bootloader unlock 4.3+ as of yet. That fact is literally all over the VZW SIII forums.

Since everyone here says unlocking the bootloader and permanently rooting moto G xt1028 is impossible, I'm thinking of flashing xt1031 bootloader and rom on xt1028.
Using adb and fastboot, I'd flash the motoboot.img(bootloader) from xt1031(boost mobile) to xt1028(verizon) and replace verizons default bootloader. Then flash the XT1031 stock rom to xt1028.
Maybe that would allow me to unlock the bootloader, root and install custom roms on the device?
Its all the same hardware after all.
Would it be possible? I mean, I don't want to mess up my device......
Do you want a brick? That's how you get a brick

you can't do because there are bootloaders for each one
im sorry, but you can't do something except "temporal root"

Hi, If I leave the bootloader locked and flash the stock based rooted rom(saw it somewhere on xda) via ADB, would I be able to achieve permanent root?
I thought Stock base roms can be flashed via ADB without unlocking bootloader. Correct me if I am wrong.
Is there a chance we could make a safestrap so we could flash ROMs with locked bootloaders ?
Hey everyone, I've been researching for days, trying to figure out how to Unlock my bootloader on a 4.2.2 OS d2vzw(Verizon SGS3) SCH-I535. it seems the only way I can start flashing new roms( specifically CM 12.1) is to install a custom recovery such as TWRP or CWM, but it locks up my recovery and I end up flashing the stock 4.2.2 over and over again. are there alternatives ways to flash roms? is it impossible to unlock my bootloader on a 4.2.2? is there a way I can downgrade my bootloader? help please nothing is working and I can't find current information....Thanks.

I'm assuming you mean 4.4.2 or 4.1.2. There is a huge difference between the two.
If you are on 4.4.2 you do not have the option to unlock the bootloader.
However if you are on 4.1.2 you do have the option to unlock the bootloader. There never was a 4.2.2 update for the VZW S3.

It's done by soldering a jtag in 3 spots all within millimeters of each other. I've sent a bunch of business his way and never saw a bad review
