[G 2014 General] StariX37:
Hiii .... Everyone I m presenting u a guide on Rooting ur phones running Android 5.0 Lollipop.

I m not to be held responsible for any damage caused to phone while flashing any of this files or following the rooting process. So proceed at ur own risk.

Ok i got u, some of u must be thinking Lollipop 5.0 is not yet out Officially so whats the rooting guide for ??

To clarify ur doubts. Let me explain U

1) Soak tests have been carried out by Motorola on Moto G XT 1064 ie..the USA retail version Single Sim Variant & even on XT 1068 (dual sim variant) (on few devices privately by Motorola).

2) So there needs to be a working Rooting method for upcoming Update or for some phones running the Soak test build.

3) Some of u might already have Lollipop 5.0 soak test build running on ur phone.

Thanks to [MENTION=3103503]ffosilva[/MENTION] for making Android Lollipop 5.0 work on XT 1068 (Dual sim phone).

4) ChainFire has released an AutoRoot config for our Moto G 2014 for some variants such as XT 1068 ( Dual Sim ), XT 1063 (Single Sim) , XT 1069 (may be working) (not confirmed yet)

And for XT 1064 (Single Sim USA Variant) ChainFire has not yet released the AutoRoot config.

5) But there is a rooting method for XT 1064 (USA single sim variant) Thanks to XDA member [MENTION=4316709]savoca[/MENTION] for his great work to make a modified boot.img to enable root for Android Lollipop 5.0 running on XT 1064 , which most of the phones are running right now as official build is not out yet.

Note :-Please take a note that XT 1064 & XT 1063 have different rooting methods.

Some guys must have flashed the XT 1064 (Single Sim Variant) firmware on their phone & got the Lollipop working on their XT 1068 & XT 1069.

So please take a note that those who have flashed XT1064 firmware & got Lollipop 5.0 working ..u need to root by [MENTION=4316709]savoca[/MENTION] 's method not by ChainFire AutoRoot config because ur phone is no more a XT 1068/69 its XT 1064 as u have flashed XT 1064 Reatilaws firmware on it.

Now straight to the point. Lets start the rooting process.

1] This method is for phones running XT 1064 as base Firmware on Lollipop 5.0 (XT 1068, XT 1069)

Pre-requisites :-

1) Unlocked bootloader (ofcourse :p).

2) Running Android 5.0 Lollipop based on XT 1064 firmware ( USA Variant)

3) Cool & Calm head.

Steps:-

1) Enter Bootloader of ur phone (u should know that already how its done as u have already installed Lollipop 5.0)

4) Now boot into Recovery mode & flash the SuperSU.zip u can use the file from the link below or you can download the Super SU v2.1.9 by doing a Google Search or u can search for it on XDA as well. XDA member [MENTION=4494891]Trublood_[/MENTION] has confirmed the v2.1.9 Super Su working . He has tested it successfully & found it stable without bootloops.

5) Reboot.

And u are done. U have successfully rooted ur phone running Lollipop.

After rooting the boot up process may take a while around 8 minutes..so be patient.

It might also bootloop once or twice, so dont panic.

I myself have confirmed that this method is working perfectly.

Some essential Apps Tested & found working:-

1) Adaway ---> works flawlessly.

2) Titanium Backup ---> works partially (unable to restore backups).

3) ES File Explorer ---> works perfectly with root mode.

4) Root Explorer ---> works perfectly.

6) Link2Sd ----> Freezing & unfreezing Apps does not works. ( uninstalling system app works perfectly).

7) No Frills CPU Control & Trickster Kernel Settings & Mod works great.

8) About to check some more apps. ( If u find any other app working please inform i ll add it to the post & give credits ).

Will update shortly the rooting process for XT 1068 & XT 1063 based on ChainFire AutoRoot. As the Lollipop 5.0 update is not out Officially.

Press Thanks :thumbup: If I helped:)
