​

A day before I made a tutorial on how to install Android Lollipop 5.0 on Motorola Moto G XT1033. With that installing now many of have asked me How to root their device as they have already Unlocked the Bootloader & wanna have root access on their device as they have already lost their warrant and nothing to loose.

No in today's tutorial I will show you how to root your Moto G in simple steps.

Prerequisites:

NOTE: THIS TUTORIAL IS FOR PEOPLE WITH UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER ONLY

1) Ensure your battery is charged to above 60% this will avoid a dead battery from corrupting the process.

2) XT1033 Lollipop Root Kit by ChainFire : DOWNLOAD

3) Minimal ADB & Fastboot Drivers : DOWNLOAD

4) A Little bit of time.

Booting Your Device to Fastboot mode

If you know how to get into fastboot mode then you can skip this part of tutorial & head directly to the next step.

1) Turn of your mobile phone

2) Now hold ' Volume Down + Power ' for 3 to 4seconds which will boot into the bootloader.

Voila! you've just booted into fastboot mode.

Checking whether XT1033 is detected in fastboot mode

Will bringing up the bootloader on your device its time for us to check whether your device is detected by the computer in fastboot mode. Now for following this step you must download the Minimal ADB & Fastboot Drivers from the link provided in the Prerequisites section & install it with default location on your computer

1) Connect your device & Open the ' Minimal ADB & Fastboot ' from the new shortcut thats made on the desktop, If you are not able to find it then navigate to C:\Program Files (or) Program Files(x86) \Minimal ADB and Fastboot\ and open " py_cmd.exe "

2) Now type the below code

fastboot devices

If it results something that is familiar to the below image then you're good to proceed if not the make sure you followed all the steps correctly, if you still doesnt get it correct then leave a comment I'll be very happy to help you.

​

Rooting Moto G XT1033

Proceed with this step only if everything stated in the above steps has come out correctly.

1) Unzip the ' CF-Auto-Root-xxx-xxx-xxx.zip ' file to a separate folder on your computer.

2) Run the " root-windows.bat " file & press the space bar.

3) Wait for a while for the process to finish & your device will reboot.

Voila! you have successfully rooted your device. Check for " Super SU " app in your app drawer.

i've rooted with the CM12 method and it works like charm. so i think this complicated process isn't needed.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reversegear:
Thanks for your guide

I don't think CF-Auto-Root is required now.. Though we can get the job done

To summarize the rooting process

Here is the 3 easy steps

1. Unlock bootloader

2. Install custom recovery

3. Install SuperSU

i did rooted by this procedure and than when i flashed TWRP, took backup to OTG and than when restarted it gave bootloop ! i dont' knwo what went wrong as everything was working fine till flashed custom recovery now i'm stuck at bootloop so use cf toolkit with caution !
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikraminside:
Happy to help. Being on stock recovery does not harm root functionalities. I recommend taking full backups via Titanium or Helium when rooted. Export backups externally such as sdcard or USB or cloud.

This will allow you to install rooted apps and perform many tweaks. Once corrupted you can restore peacefully.

I personally use cwm nandroid backup. Nandroid backup manager to restore individual apps and data. Titanium also is good. Not too comfortable with helium non rooted as it failed to restore important data while rooted from adb backup.

Same here.

I have a xt1033 with unlocked bootloader, running 5.0.2.

When in fastboot mode, "fastboot devices" recognizes my device.

However, when I run root-linux.sh, the message is "waiting for the device", and nothing happens.

Next, I have to manually reboot.

I managed to root my xt1033 by simply installing the clockworkmod recovery in fastboot.

Thank you for the solution. Though, I have a huge problem now. Even though the rooting worked, Google Play (Market) now crashes most of the time. Sometimes, when I start it. I am using the 1033 Moto G 1st Edition and I rooted from 5.1 lollipop. I have tried clearing cache on the app and services then rebooting. Then I tried use Lucky Patcher to move the market app into System folder. It moved it but that did not help either. Then, I tried factory reset. That did not help either. Any chance you got a fix for that?

If Google APPS aren't working after rooting your device then

Try to delete a file from your system named "hosts"

It will be in

/etc/hosts
