Sorry if this is in the wrong section, not sure where to post. Its a 2 part, but regarding the possibilities of compiling or even taking the stock rom from a Moto Z4 (or generation variant) and then running it on a newer Motorola phone for the Moto Mod capabilities, Would it be possible? For the second, would it then be possible to solder/rewire the phones Moto Mod hardware component to the newer Motorola phone?

Hi
So, I am not the biggest rooter on earth, but I rooted my Note 2 so there may be hope.
So here my setup.
Brand new Moto x on Verizon, bought from Moto, unlocked (I believe)
Updated to 5.0
Some of the programs I use need root. I searched and looked, and I am not sure where I am stranded but I am more confused then I feel I should be.
Am I maybe rooted already ex factory?
How can I find out if or if not I am?
As you can see I am really confused...
Thanks
Post in the correct form for your phone, and maybe even look there. That'd be my first step anyway. Odds are, you're not going to find what you need anyway as Lollipop is much more difficult to root, and most 2nd gen Moto Xs can't be unlocked

I must be blind, I planned to stick this threat into development.
But, I found quite some info about root for the Moto X for other versions of the phone, so why would it be impossible?
If you have a Verizon Moto X, you're plain outta luck. It's that simple. You cannot unlock your bootloader.
This thread shouldn't be in any development forum, it should be in Q&A. Second, you're posting in the 1st gen Moto X forums, not the 2nd gen forums, which are separate as they are two different devices.

Even if you say it twice, and I say twice I posted in the wrong section, you are still right and I am still blind.....
Hey there!!
I'm a newbie, would appreciate your help very much. Long ago I had rooted my Milestone 2 and installed a Cyanogen. But that was long ago and now I'm overwhelmed with so much information on this forum.
I've got a Moto G (2013), Dual Sim XT1033, bought in Brazil.
Update to Lollipop 5.0 has been one of the worst decisions, it works VERY badly now.
I wanted to get a new ROM. (Cyanogen 12? but I saw on their webpage my device is not supported, it also gave me that message when I tried to install thei apk)
It can be that or another popular one. The thing is that I dont know how to do it, and FAQs and walkthroughs assume I know a lot of concepts which I dont (like the difference between rooting and flashing my device) and procedures I am not aqcuainted with.
Please, has anyone got a starting guide? About flashing/rooting (?) my motoG and how to install (and which do you recommend?) the rom without much technical vocab..
Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Moto G- first you have to unlock the bootloader then root your phone then flash a custom recovery then you can flash a rom of your choice ( i recommend the stock optimized lollipop, has great battery life :good: - forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-lollipop-rom-t3017510
Does steps for unlocking bootloader and rooting is same even after updating to 5.0.2, I mean same as steps that are available for moto G android 4.4.2 ?
I have moto G (1st Gen) bought in India updated to 5.0.2
Thanks in advance
I really hate how the Boost devices are way behind others. Upon researching Google and this website for days, it seems that the Boost variant Moto G doesn't have a proper Lollipop rom for working data besides certain Meticulus builds. I'm trying to test out other roms, but most of them give me a 0x4113 error. The AIO Falcon Bootloader upgrader doesn't work either since it only supports other models except the XT1028/XT1031.
My question is how do I upgrade the bootloader? If it isn't possible, then my other question is, what's the latest, best rom w/ working data for it? Most of them that I've seen are discontinued.
I am going to get one of these phones for my partner but she prefers the Jellybean Rom is this possible to put on this as she was coming from the Galaxy S3?
Any links if possible or info
Thanks

I haven't seen one. Lowest android is 5.1

That is almost in possible.. But im not an expert.
Even Moto G (2013) cannot boot Jelly Bean if the Bootloader has been updated. This is due to changes to the Kernel, and how it, and Bootloader interrelate. In theory, a custom Kernel by a skilled Dev might make it possible.
Hi all, one of my first posts here. I bought a Moto G 2nd (Brazilian) Edition recently, but I want to wipe the OS and put on the latest GB iteration on it. Any idea where I can find the stock ROMS for the Moto G 2nd edition? And what's the latest (best) way to root the Moto G 2nd edition? Sorry if these are rather fundamental questions but I'm a bit out of the loop with all this stuff.
TIA
Ok, so I've managed to find the stock ROMs. But I'm a bit confused about a few things:
1. I know downgrading can be a big no no, but what about flashing a ROM that is the same version? All I really want to do is replace the BR (Brazilian version) with the GB (Great Britain) version of firmware, is this easily achieved?
2. What's the best way to flash the moto? I always see a myriad of ways of flashing, either with CMD scripts or sometimes ready-to-use apps...just wondering whether or not there is a "standard go-to" way of flashing the moto?
Thanks in advance!
