Moto G Rooted! Root Tool Inside

GO GO GO!
Superboot is a boot.img that when booted, will root your device the first time you boot (installing su and the superuser APK). No need to flash any partitions, no messing with the contents of your data partition, no overwriting the shipped ROM on your device, just boot the boot image using the instructions below and you're done!
YOU NEED YOUR BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED TO CARRY OUT THIS PROCESS. It's easy using fastboot, which is included in the download below. The instructions on the Motorola site are very straightforward - visit this page to get started. Unlocking the bootloader will wipe your device.
This Superboot installs SuperSU version 1.80. Note that rooting may affect your ability to receive future OTAs, reverting back to stock is easy enough. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Mine too, 14.71.8.Retail.en.DE

has anyone got this to work with the tesco version?

so how much space is there for system and for the apps
on 8 gb version

Props and thanks to [email protected], i can now consider buying this phone

i have a problem .... mmy cel is unblock but no rooting u.u

Rooted successfully, but I can't encrypt my phone now; it says "Encryption unsuccessful" and offers to erase everything. I reboot the phone instead without erasing and it boots normally.
Any ideas on how to solve it? It's kind of critical, since i can't use my email without encryption

can confirm that this is working, done in under a minute

I was able to get it working only after reflashing stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219&page=3 then encrypting and then reflashing superboot.
So maybe it is worth updating instructions:
1) Unlock bootloader (wiping all data)
2) Encrypt your phone
3) Flash superboot

Thanks! only a question... If i unlock the bootloader and root the moto g, will I still receive the kitkat OTA update?

still not rooting
unlocked the boot loader, tried to root with super boot, but didnt work, flashed to generic uk, tried to root again and it still wont say rooted or show the su app, please can someone help?!

Rooted...wireless tether working with wifi router app. However, I got notified of 4.4 update today and it downloads, starts install, then fails.

i have seen this error on internet and says that the cause is the bootloader locked! but if i test from fastboot my bootloader state says that is unlocked
This website is a SCAM? is not that only the text that says "unlocked" has been changed but the phone is locked?

Same Issue on Honor 7
I have exactly the same behaviour on my Honor 7 - tried several recovery firmwares, none worked

I think this thread is about unlocking the bootloader on the Honor 7? You wrote

So were you able to flash recovery and boot to TWRP?

I open a dispute PayPal vs Dc Unlocker and they immediately lock my account on website! SCAM

Of course it's a scam that sort of thing supposedly paying this kind of thing exists for all.
I understand why people still pay.
Remove immediately !!!!

If it is a scam and doesn't work 100%, can you change the subject in the OP?
people will read the first post and spend money on something that doesn't work :silly:

After unlock with this method, i have upgrade to mm beta rom. Can an upgrade relock the bootloader?

What can you read after rebooting into "Fastboot" mode? Unloocked; Locked; Relocked?

@fosseperme
If you discovered this was a scam, why not remove the info from the opening post and say so, so others aren't hooked into this?
I have done it for you, and will close this thread.

Can't Re-Unlock the Bootloader

I read through the similar thread from yesterday, but this is a different issue...
I had unlocked, installed TWRP, and had been running a custom ROM (BadBoyz 1.2). This morning I re-locked so I could flash the updated firmware (v1.80) and now I am unable to re-unlock.
When I issue the command fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin, it works without errors, and the phone goes to the "Are you sure you want to unlock your bootloader?" screen.
However, at that screen, the volume buttons do nothing. I can't select yes OR no, it just sits there. Eventually it times out and just shows the battery charging on a black screen.

When I flashed the firmware, it removed TWRP, and with a locked bootloader, I can't re-flash it.
I was able to get a fully stock rom up and running, so I'm not in brickville anymore (had a few hours of panic earlier today), and I've been able to confirm that the OEM Unlock option is checked. I've even unchecked and re-checked to be sure. Everything works except the ability to confirm my choice and move on. I'm kind of afraid that it's a glitch in the new firmware, at this point...
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks!!

So, it removed TWRP and replaced the stock recovery? And now you can't reinstall TWRP because bootloader is locked? Is that where you're at?
Sent from my 2PS64 using XDA-Developers mobile app

have you tried running RUU.exe? i took that route and was able to unlock my bootloader again, flash twrp and upgrade to bb 2.0 with no problems

I had the same problem and had to flash a stock rom back on the phone before the unlocker would work.

I figured it out! I can't explain WHY it worked, but it worked...
I had re-flashed several times using the official RUU, and the results never changed...
Then yesterday I went through a mental checklist of what was different when I unlocked the first time... and the only thing, was that I hadn't put my SD Card in the phone yet when I unlocked the first time. So I went through the motions again to verify that it still didn't work, and it didn't. Then I ejected the SD Card and tried it - and BOOM, I was able to unlock!
The only thing I can think of is that the SD Card did have the Firmware .zip on it, which the phone auto-detected and asked if I wanted to install... even though I said no. As soon as I tried it without the card, it worked like it always had, I'm back to unlocked, and back to the custom ROM I had been enjoying so much...
Thanks for the tips, everyone, and I hope this thread helps someone else who finds themselves in the same boat!

Yes, that is EXACTLY where I was at. However, finally found the way out of the mess.. (see above post)

Why can I add a new APN on Nougat?

Title says it all.
I no longer had the "+" on top in Access Point Names to add a new one?
I have a fresh install of Nougat and a factory reset.
Not rooted and bootloader locked.
Anyone else see this problem?
Steve

I don't have that problem. I'm on NRD90U, everything stock. What's your build number?

Same build number as you.
Are you on Verizon?

I can also add APN fine. Same build, AT&T. Can you edit that one?

I was able to add a new APN before Nougat without being bootloader unlocked?
What do you mean by "See #1"?

What I meant is just Unlock your bootloader and leave it that way. You'll be thankful when you run into trouble flashing updates and or custom roms, etc.

I use to flash ROM's all the time.
But I have been happy with stock and use Android Pay all the time and would rather not have to deal with the problems that goes with getting it to work with root.
I may unlock and flash the new Nougat factory imgs as I ADB'd the OTA.
Maybe that has something to do with my problem?
I also installed the Pixel Launcher but I don't see how that come have effected my problem?

You can be on stock without root and still keep an unlocked bootloader.

Unlocked the bootloader and fastboot flashed everything, no joy!

Thinking about giving this a try?
*2767*3855# - Think before you give this code. This code is used for factory format. It'll remove all files and settings including the internal memory storage. It'll also reinstall the phone firmware.

I just looked at my wife's 5X with Nougat is it doesn't have the "+" either on the APN?
Maybe it has something to do with Verizon?

So iirc google now downloads the apns for your carrier on first boot, and I know some carriers lock out apn editing. Not sure if that happens with this device though.

No it's not c.f. auto root assumes that your bootloader is unlocked (but yours isn't bc it's a 935U) just use this method here if you want to root your phone https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-method-nougat-t3566978

It mentions:
BOOTLOADER UNLOCK
If your bootloader is not unlocked, depending on the device, it may be automatically unlocked (wiping all data), flashing may fail, or the device may brick altogether.
The Readme States:
Your device must have:
- An unlocked bootloader
- OEM unlock enabled (if present) in developer options
- Factory reset protection (if present) disabled
https://desktop.firmware.mobi/device:462/firmware:13040/cfar

Even then i personally don't think it's compatible with the 935u bc it's a snapdragon variant and the bootloader is lock down tight and it installs a systemless root which is a no no for locked bootloaders

Recently I know cfautoroot has sold to China.
. We shouldn't flash this zip .. u can try..i don't dare
sr my bad En

Your all good bt i didn't know they sold to China bt ik it won't work on locked bootloaders and the root that I posted earlier it does lag when you first flash the eng.boot bt once you install the root with all tweaks(the tweaks are installed with root now) you shouldn't have any lag

If any one is interested. I tried this for the hell of it on my deactivated Sprint 7 edge with the U firmware and it indeed fails.... Pone not bricked had to do a hard reset to get phone to reboot, but it does not work period.

Flash the ENG BOOT and then root. Search up how to do this. then flash this file through FlashFire
