Give it a try...no harm in that...
[Moto G General] pratmodi:
But Sir could you please help me ,I am Novice in these things ,i tried using Modaco method and everything went right .. until last step and command prompt had last line as "Failed". and i pressed power button to reboot and it rebooted but there was no super su and i checked with apps , all telling me i had no root.

My question is can i now try your method ? if it modified or was rooted already, somewhat , will your method damage anything ?
[Moto G General] pfufle:
Which is the modaco method? Use the method which is mentioned in the first post...Also, please don't quote the full original post...
[Moto G General] pratmodi:
Sorry about quoting full post , was mistake as sent from my moto g . Well , the original post mentioned this method if you see in the beginning. You can google Modaco moto g method .

Sir if you can help me , can you assure me that nothing is wrong if i try above method after failing previous rooting attempt ? I can assure Boot-loader is Unlocked. Is it wrong to attempt after messed up rooting attempt phone. The proper Booting after first attempt was accidentally aborted by me.

And someone in other forum told me that Moto G or any google phone is pretty much unbrickable , IS IT TRUE ?
[Moto G General] pfufle:
You can definitely root your phone using the above method and it is bound to work...

Yes it is near impossible to brick the moto g or any google phone...

Is it applicable for Android 4.4.4??

My Moto G is upgraded to 4.4.4 recently. Can I follow this procedure??

Am very new to rooting methods. I always used to think that rooting phone is Installing a new custom Rom like Cynogen Mod or so. So if I have correctly understood, what you mentioned is to keep the stock android available with the phone along with rooted features unlocked with CW and Super Su... Is that so?? Sorry if it was a basic question that I have asked.
[Moto G General] pfufle:
Rooting is certainly not installing cyanogen mod...Rooting is just gained complete access to your phone, parallel to administrator access in windows (okay Linux fans I know its nowhere near windows :P )...A custom ROM is a customised version of android which is normally prerooted

You can use this procedure to root your device on 4.4.4 and gain root access on stock ROM without having to install a custom ROM...

Rooting benifits
[Moto G General] pfufle:
Linux doesn't need more free ram like windows...Linux, when running g low on ram automatically suspends the tasks it doesn't have to do first, and takes up tasks which it has to do first... Rooting is generally done for customisation, kernels,better battery life, etc...

Dual sim or Single??

Hi,

Will this rooting method turn the dual sim phone into a single sim one??
[Moto G General] pfufle:
No it won't but it will help you to...You will have to flash the GPE firmware after rooting...The following link will help you...

hey i meant where to select install zip , goto SDCARD.....where phone or pc. i have rebooted my phone normally and disconnected it from my computer, can u please guide from here what to do ?
[Moto G General] rohitthe1:
1st: Shutdown your phone.

2nd: Press power button and volume down button simultaneously for 10 sec.

you will see various options

3rd: Press volume down button once to highlight "recovery" option, then Press volume up button to select "recovery" option.

If you followed all the procedure correctly till step 2, then you will have entered "CWM" in recovery.

From there on continue like the OP states i.e . IN CWM =>INSTALL FROM SD CARD => CHOOSE SUPER SU => RESTART

Unchecked mtp mode in USB storage, then enable USB debugging, then connect computer cable- let it install any missing drivers - you should have Motorola drivers installed. Then do adb devices- it should be detected.

My Moto G (XT1033)

flashed custom recovery

after flash display blinking not showing cwm recovery menu/option

how to fix it.
[Moto G General] jayOOMjay:
I bought moto g [ XT1033 - Dual sim , India ] two days ago, I have been reading moto g threads since then..

This is what I have learned so far about the device.. can anyone plz point out the mistakes if there are any

1)For rooting the device the bootloader has to be unlocked , for that we need unlock code from motorola ( I read that some people claimed to root without unlocking bootloader ! , I also read that it is possible with XT1032 model ! )

Then we need a custom recovery, can anyone tell me which is the best recovery ? ( or at least the ones that are outdated )

then , flash the su zip

2) after unlocking the bootloader, Why can't we simply flash the su zip from the stock recovery ? ( the option apply 'update from sd card' which i used to root my old phone )

3)There is no problem in formatting the recovery partition using fastboot as long as we can flash anyother recover img, is that correct ?

4) We will be notified about OTA update regardless of unlocked bootloader and custom recovery

5)to install OTA updates , either we need to flash the stock recovery img via fastboot or install the original stock firmware for your model/region and we have to it root again.

6) How long does it take to receive the unlock code from motorola ? ( it has been 3 hrs and no response ! ) Got it , damn it went to promotions folder rather than spam folder
[Moto G General] pfufle:
1) CWM is outdated...the best IMO is philz and then twrp...

2) You need a signed zip if you want to flash it from stock recovery...

3) yeah

4) yeah

5) yeah

6) 10 seconds

[Moto G General] jayOOMjay:
Hey,thanks [ I cannot press any thanks buttons for today ], I was almost sure that you will reply..

Im tried flashing philz recovery. twrp , cwm recoveries through fastboot commands.. bt . everytime , when i select recovery, what i get is a black screen with some random lines blinking. I saw more than 4 such complaints [ one in the last page of this thread ] . all of them (including me) are in 4.4.4 and XT1033 !!

what am i doing wrong ??
[Moto G General] vikassoni:
here also this problem

I'm getting also this problem

tell me something how to fix it

currently recovery using TWRP-2.6.3.3-falcon

touch not working Swipe to unlock
[Moto G General] jayOOMjay:
I have tried many times with different recoveries , after wiping recovery .... bt still the black screen..

after flashing twrp and the selecting recovery i got " invalid boot header" ( or something similar to that )

plz pm me if you found the solution, I will also do the same
[Moto G General] pfufle:
I dont know what the exact reason is but it seems like a bug in cwm... Twrp recovery is known to work..

PS: I don't wipe before flashing (if that helps)

---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------

You can check this issue on the twrp thread...I have always used philz recovery and it has always worked flawlessly without any issues...
[Moto G General] jayOOMjay:
after flashing TWRP 2.7.0.0 , I allowed that black screen to remain and after one mintue then the screen timed out , so i turned it on again by pressing power button, then there comes the TWRP's main screen saying slide to unlock.. but I cant slide !! since i cant unlock, im not able to do anything.. i rebooted again into recovery, the condition is same... this is the case with TWRP 2.7.0.0 .. all the remaining recoveries give black screen whole the time., I will post it in the respective recovery's thread.

Thanks for your reply
[Moto G General] pfufle:
Why don't you try philz recovery again? It has always worked perfectly for me..
[Moto G General] jayOOMjay:
already tried philz many times. it gives only black screen !

only twrp recovery gives something other than a black screen, if i allow its display to time out and the turn it on by pressing the power button, bt still i cannot unlock , touch is not working///

i tried cwm touch and non touch too

when we select recovery from the fastboot options, the phone first shows bootlogo, right ? and then reboots into recovery.
[Moto G General] pfufle:
Why don't you try booting into the recovery via adb? Or what you can do is that you can flash the 4.4.2 firmware (do NOT downgrade the boot loader) and then flash the recovery because I have noticed that this problem is with people only on 4.4. 4...
[Moto G General] jayOOMjay:
I will try adb method.

downloading firmware needs much data !! ( I will do it , if there are no other options )

what is your android version now ? and on which version did you flashed recovery ?

If i flash the stock recovery, then will it be like unlocked bootloader and stock recovery ?
[Moto G General] pfufle:
I flashed mine on 4.4.2 and I am now using a custom ROM...stock firmware is of Max 500mb...

Stock recovery is almost useless...You might as well stick with the black screen you are getting...

[Moto G General] s27moto:
my phone can not be root in 4.4.4 so i downgrade to 4.4.2 and root it and i do ota update to keep my root
[Moto G General] pfufle:
you will not be able to ota since you are on a custom recovery...Also, even if you switch to stock recovery before ota, you will lose root after ota...

If you are not using the ART runtime (and will not be using it), you can try THIS.

Works well for me. Enable bass boost in DSP to counter low volume issues (I didn't have any issues but this was advice at the time). Everything I need works - Wifi/Mobile-Data/GPS/Camera/etc but, YMMV...

sorry to bother you but I have a problem. I have gone through your steps and everything seems okay but when I select 'recovery' (after installing via fastboot) I am getting a 'fails to boot' error.

I have deleted everything from the phone and started from scratch with the same result.

I am on 4.4 and the phone is Moto g (2nd generation)

I hope that you can help?
[Moto G General] Stupidchavs:
Think that's your problem.

2nd gen has different requirements from 1st gen in most instances.

Follow a guide to flash your stock rom and follow a guide for your device.

---------- Post added at 11:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 AM ----------

Works great for me by the way, using cwm no touch :)

Should probably make it clear on op that you should have SU zip ready on internal BEFORE you flash cwm though.

If you don't follow cwm install up with su before rebooting, rom will install factory recovery over cwm, and you'll have to flash again
