Hi all. I am getting my new Moto G today (XT1068) and want to have lolipop but also need root. I was wondering how I would do this? Also if I do manage to get root while on 5.0.1 can I use OTA to 5.0.2 or would I need to un-root first? I am new to rooting so I'd like the easiest way possible, thanks for your time!
Hello,
I'd like to say hello to everyone and BIG thanks for the community as a whole. This place is pure awesomeness.
I've got similiar question to OP. Got the retaildsdsall xt1068, haven't unlocked or rooted before and I'm currently on 5.0.2, 22.21.28.titan_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03 reteu
I've been on retaildsdsall and upgraded using to newly captured OTA zip from SOAK for the xt1068, by copying it to the root of sd and upgrading using normal ota updater.
Everything went fine!
My question is, what is the most reliable way to root my device?
Is there any possibility to root without having to unlock? Will Chainfire's autoroot[dot]chainfire[dot]eu work for me? I read that there is a version which is ok for Lollipop, updated by Chainfire, but I can't seem to find it or confirm that it'll work.
Please shed some light on to that. Any experiences?
Hi @Reizoko & @Silent_Infiltrator
1. You have to unlock Bootloader to Root.
2. Install TWRP Recovery
3. Download and Flash latest BETA of SuperSU v2.44
Thats all
Note: You can't use OTA to update while rooted. You have to do a full unroot.

Right, seems easy enough. I guess I'll wait with stock unrooted until a bug-free version of 5.0 is out, will be good to make sure phone is all right aswell...

Well, the Brazil Soak Test version of Lollipop is really smooth and Bug Free, the Indian version.. Not so much! If you want to try Lollipop, I would recommend the Brazil Soak Test.
Hey
Just wanted to give quick heads-up on to the matter of rooting 5.0.2. Thanks for the tips, I did it as follows:
1. Got my European Moto G xt1068 (dual-sim version) updated to 5.0.2 using captured OTA zip here.
2. Unlocked my bootloader by following official Motorola guide.
3. Downloaded newest TWRP 2.8.4.0 from Original Development.
4. Used Fastboot to only boot TWRP by executing: fastboot boot twrp.img
5. Flashed newest SuperSU 2.44.
6. Enjoying root.
Thanks!

Why the hell are you telling him to install a xt1069 over xt1068? Tell me onde thing, but are you on drugs or dont have a clue about you are talking about? Never, but never install a version that is not designed for your phone version. Before you post such thing, please do some research or dont say anything.

Krishna is not wrong as the XT1068 and 69 are pretty much the same. Only difference is the modems and radios I believe.

So they are different... Custom ROMs can work on both, but not original ROMs.

I speak out of experience. I installed the XT1069 Lolipop 5.0,5.0.1 and no probs at all. I followed the methods posted in this forum.
I was not giving a vague advice.

link doesn't work - btw, is this an update for someone running 22.21.28 to another build, or is is from another build TO 22.21.28? if so, what build?
Correct link
My guess is the original poster meant to post this link:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722648255
Based on the size, it looks to me like the OTA or flash image (from recovery) from 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 official/pure stock.
Link fixed.
This updates 4.4.4 to Lollipop 5.0. This was captured from an XT1064 model.

Yes, I've gathered that much but what build was the device on that this was pulled from. Was is 21.11.17? that's important to note because the OTA files are specific to that build only. Otherwise if it IS 21.11.17 I have also uploaded the same OTA file - I suspect it is based on file size (412MB).

no worries! you just got me all excited at first - thought it might be the OTA I need to go to 22.21.25 to build 22.21.28 on my Consumer Cellular xt1064 (unlocked and reloaded with stock firmware). As always, thanks for taking the time to pull the file and upload it! I'd rather have it and not need it... and that sort of thing.

definitely going to - I should actually clarify that I am sim-unlocked, not bootloader. I've managed to get up to this point using all signed firmware and the right OTA file, but since I've severly burned my bridges over at moto's forum, there's no hope of me doing MFN.... so I'm going to be unlocking the bootloader shortly - I was kinda hoping an exploit-based root might come about, but no such luck! Definitely going to be checking out the CM12 builds, as well as using this phone as my first foray into tweaking , and eventually building roms. It was a little intimidating at first, but now I'm wondering what the heck I've been afraid of all these years.

You should move this to someother thread!
No need of creating new threads for this. Already a thread going on for this.
After few days we will then have a no. of threads. This just creates more confusion just like we had when 5.0.2 was released and people just went crazy.

Hey @hamburgertrain Most probably I wont be able to root the device as I just have the device for review! Any non rooted method? Else I might just go ahead and root it if nothing works!

I don't know of any non-root methods, though someone else might.
Rooting would involve unlocking the bootloader through fastboot, using Motorola's unlock page.
I wish I could be of more help!
@hamburgertrain I'll wait for someone else to reply before I update!

Hello
Today the Moto G 2014 (XT1064) for Nextel (now AT&T) Mexico, received the long-awaited Marshmallow 6.0 OTA update. So far, it's running well, and the upgrade process goes from 30-45 minutes, depending your installed apps.
I have captured the OTA, in case you need it or you haven't received it yet. I also have successfully tested it by sideload, so it's the real thing: v24.41.34 for NIIMX, though, should work on any LATAM carrier.
Hope some of you find it useful. File's here.
Enjoy!
Hello
Thank you very much friend.
You comets that works for any carrier , right?

Since it's an OTA you need to be unrooted, in case you are. You need to sideload it via ADB on stock recovery (method 2 on guide).
So I found in this forum like two months ago a method to root my phone without flashing a custom recovery (I can't leave the link due to my new account "[GUIDE][HOW-TO] Root Moto G 2014 WITHOUT flash a custom recovery"). In fact, my device is rooted and has its stock recovery. My question would be, should I use method 2 without unrooting my phone first? I'm asking you because I could easily try method 2 while being rooted but I fear that some error might come in.
By the way, If anyone wants another OTA.zip I have downloaded the official OTA I got for my unlock device. Blur_Version.22.56.3.titan_retmx.retmx.en.MX. Just send me a message.
Thank you.
Hi everyone, this is just a simple question:
How many of you think about the delay of the N update is because MAYBE Motonovo are updating to 7.1.1 intead 7.0?
'cause has been pass a week (maybe 2) and we don't have news about the update. My MXF is from iusacel and i don't receive (yet) the upgrade, this forum (or others) don't have even the Update.zip to flash 7.0.
Greetings
If this is true:
https://www.oficinadanet.com.br/post/19231-android-nougat-chega-para-moto-x-force-no-brasil
I would say 2-4 weeks and I think we'll get only 7.0
no 7.1.1 for us - which is sad, because even Moto X Play gets 7.1.1 ... hmmm
Today I received the 7.0 on my unlocked Moto X Force (AT&T México) and like @capedukewuhaha said, it's sadly the end of the line for this device (at least officially, of course).
