PART I : UNLOCKING
NOTE:
The warranty of all Non-European phones is lost permanently after UNLOCKING bootloader. LOCKING the bootloader again after UNLOCKING won't give your warranty back.
The warranty of all European phones is not lost after UNLOCKING bootloader. To claim warranty of an UNLOCKED European phone you will need to live in the European Union.

Softbrick : Stock 5.0.2 Factory Firmware Image Installer
Hardbrick : Unbrick Moto G 2014 (2nd Gen)
1. You won't need to UNLOCK the bootloader to flash the firmware of your variant for your region. i.e. You can flash firmware on a LOCKED bootloader. However to flash a firmware for different region, your bootloader needs to be UNLOCKED. Check your Moto G 2nd Gen Model No & Regional Variant from here before proceeding. You will need it for downloading factory images for your corresponding phone.
2. If your device gets stuck in following situations it has soft bricked.
- Stuck on Motorola logo or "Unlocked Bootloader" screen.
- Stuck on boot animation or device restarts automatically (boot loop)
- Cannot boot into recovery mode.
- Can boot into fastboot mode only.
3. If your device gets stuck in following situations it has hard bricked.
- Cannot boot into fastboot mode.
- Cannot power on or cannot charge.
- Cannot boot into recovery mode.
Step By Step Troubleshooting Of Your Device
1. Check if it switches on or boots into fastboot menu, if it doesnt maybe the battery is depleted. Use a minimum 1A output charger & keep it plugged in overnight for atleast 10-12 hours. Repeat for 2-3 days. If it still doesnt power on, this means your phone is hardbricked & recovery may or may not be possible. Motherboard replacement might be needed. You will loose all your data & your IMEI number will be changed after your motherboard is replaced.
2. If it switches on & is stuck on Motorola logo/bootanimation or "Unlocked Bootloader" screen, hold power button till phone screen turns off. Your phone will restart, let it continue the booting process. If it still stuck, hold power button till phone screen turns off. After it turns off immediately press volume down while holding power button. Release both after 2-3 seconds. You will now boot into fastboot menu. This means your phone is softbricked & can be recovered by flashing correct factory image for your device. Flashing incorrect image or downgrading from a higher Android version to lower (Eg Marshmallow to Lollipop) may render your device permanently hard-bricked/dead.
PART IV : DOWNGRADING

5.0.2 Factory Firmware Image Installer
1. Boot into fastboot mode. Check your bootloader version from top 2nd line. It should say something like "48.86 (sha-5497-c9). 4886 is your bootloader version.
2. Marshmallow 6.0 to Lollipop 5.0.2 : If your bootloader version is 4886 (Marshmallow Bootloader), you need to make some changes in the easyinstaller.bat file inside the Stock Factory Firmware Image that you download or while flashing the ROM manually.
- Download Lollipop 5.0.2 Factory Firmware image zip from PART III RESTORING Section
- Unzip the contents & open easyinstaller.bat with notepad.
- Find the 2 lines "mfastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img" & delete both of them.
- Delete the motoboot.img file inside the extracted contents.
- Run the easyinstaller.bat
- Do not type "mfastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img" while flashing the Lollipop ROM manually
3. Lollipop 5.0.2 to Kitkat 4.4.4 : If your bootloader version is 4882/4883(Lollipop Bootloader), you need to make some changes while flashing the ROM manually.
- Download Kitkat 4.4.4 Factory Firmware image zip.
- Unzip the contents.
- Delete the motoboot.img file inside the extracted contents..
- Do not type "mfastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img" while flashing the Kitkat 4.4.4 firmware image manually.
4. If you downgrade your bootloader version i.e flash a 4883 Lollipop bootloader on your existing 4886 Marshmallow bootloader, your phone will be hard-bricked / permanently dead. Therefore follow the instructions above carefully. I am not responsible for dead phones.

thaaaaaaaaaaanks @luca020400
and I can delete the application motorola?
If I understood correctly, this method does not require unlock key from motorola to unlock bootloader. So, if I unlock the bootloader and restore the lock again later, then there won't be any way that motorola can get to know if it was unlocked ever (for warranty purpose )??
Thanks for this!
However, it results in the same issue I've found ANY time I've tried to install ANY version of SuperSU with ANY android version on this phone (1063). That is: after flashing supersu, I get a boot loop. The first few times this happened, I cursed and reformatted the entire phone. For anyone else who has encountered this, I just figured out a way around it! It looks like this problem *only* affects the recovery partition, which is easily re-flashed.
Here's what worked for me:
While boot looping, press and hold vol down + power until screen stays black for 5-10 seconds, then release. You'll get to fastboot mode here. Then, connect with a usb cable and in a cmd prompt, from within your adb directory, type fastboot flash recovery <recovery image name.img> and hit enter. Once it flashes sucessfully, you'll be able to start back up with "normal startup" from the device's fastboot menu and all should be well. And if you've done this to correct a boot loop brought on by this autoroot, you'll actually still have root once you start up. Hooray!
The recovery image that you flash can be TWRP (link above) or the stock android recovery (which I found on this forum somewhere, but will upload with a link as soon as Mega is nice to me again).
Hope this helps someone else.

Didn't work for me on Linux
fastboot-linux binary included with auto-root seems to be not working.
I tried to use fastboot from ubuntu repositories, which works, but couldn't correctly boot auto-root image.
I used openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-titan.img with "normal" procedure described here , and everything worked perfectly.
Thanks anyway!

Yes they understand, since your STATUS number changes from 0 to 3.
When you relock it changes from 3 to 2.
So your warranty is lost forever. Be careful.
You can find this number on the display when you're on fastboot mode (turn off the device and then press power + volume down for aboout 5 sec and release)
UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER
WARNING: UNLOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY.PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. EXCEPT If You Live In The EU

Has anyone tried unlocking the Boost Mobile Moto E LTE bootloader with this method? Boost's Moto G can be bootloader unlocked so that's hope.
Just a note, be careful about the unlocking of bootloader yet. You cannot relock the phone without flashing a new system.img which doesn't exist yet.
Updated OP
Hello, some of the text is using black color instead of default, meaning it appear black on dark grey when using official XDA dark theme.
This method is only for Moto E 2015 3G version ( Code name Otus ). Do not try On LTE version or on any other phone.
Disclaimer:
Code:
1.) I am not responsible for a bricked device if you don't follow all the instructions correctly.
2.) The development is still in initial stages. Try this on your own risk. Me or any other developer will not be responsible
for your bricked devices.
All credits goes to @squid2 for creating the recovery and guiding me and @cybojenix for initial development.
I am merely putting all the things together and encapsulating in one thread.
Pre Requirements :
1.) Download Moto E drivers from http://androidxda.com/download-motorola-usb-drivers. Make Sure you Download the correct driver.
2.) Setup ADB By following Q 03 of http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/help/faq-frequently-questions-moto-e-2015-t3044929 ( Thread) by Lucas Eugene.
2.) Unlocked Bootloader. ( Follow @Lucas Eugene Guide from http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-moto-e-2015-t3045748.

The steps to flash recovery are :-
1.) Put the downloaded recovery file in C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\
2.)Go to command prompt and while being in the platform tools folder enter.
Code:
adb devices ( this should detect your device )
adb reboot bootloader ( alternately you can press volume down and power button Simultaneously)
This should open fastboot mode on your devices.
Now give the following code
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-otus-2.8.6-test4.img
adb reboot
The recovery is now flashed onto your devices.
Now for Rooting :
1.) Download latest SuperSu from here http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip.
2.) Put the SuperSu Zip at the root of your SD card.
3.) Now go into fast boot mode again by process described above.
4.) Flash the SuperSu zip from recovery from SD card.
5.) Reboot the Device and Voila.......You are Rooted.
In Any case do not use this if you are not familiar with the process.
Thanks to @squid2 , @cybojenix , @Lucas Eugene for the resources and Guides.

ADB and fastboot are different things. To use fastboot, you have to get your phone into bootloader mode (turn off, hold PWR and VOL- for 3 seconds, then let go). Alternatively, you can enter bootloader mode while Android is running with ADB enabled by running the command "adb reboot bootloader". Make sure that your udev rules give you permissions to access your phone's USB device.

I've put out a new version (2.8.6-test4) that fixes an issue with loading the recovery from flash. While the procedure described here still works, you can now safely flash the recovery by running "fastboot flash recovery blah.img"
thanxxxxx
finally we can root our moto e now. Thank you so much. Will now be able to use gl2sd
Is flashing the new recovery working for you guys. If yes I will update the thread so that the method becomes more easy.

All credits goes to @squid2 for creating the recovery and guiding me and @cybojenix for initial development.
I am merely putting all the things together and encapsulating in one thread.
Pre Requirements :
1.) Download Moto E drivers from http://androidxda.com/download-motorola-usb-drivers. Make Sure you Download the correct driver.
2.) Setup ADB By following Q 03 of http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/help/faq-frequently-questions-moto-e-2015-t3044929 ( Thread) by Lucas Eugene.
2.) Unlocked Bootloader. ( Follow @Lucas Eugene Guide from http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-moto-e-2015-t3045748.
Download and flash latest TWRP recovery for Moto E 2015 3G created by @squid2 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/orig-development/twrp-recovery-moto-e-3g-2015-t3084849 .
The steps to flash recovery are :-
1.) Put the downloaded recovery file in C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\
2.)Go to command prompt and while being in the platform tools folder enter.
Code:
adb devices ( this should detect your device )
adb reboot bootloader ( alternately you can press volume down and power button Simultaneously)
This should open fastboot mode on your devices.
Now give the following code
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-otus-2.8.6-test4.img
adb reboot
The recovery is now flashed onto your devices.
Now for Rooting :
1.) Download latest SuperSu from here http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip.
2.) Put the SuperSu Zip at the root of your SD card.
3.) Now go into fast boot mode again by process described above.
4.) Flash the SuperSu zip from recovery from SD card.
5.) Reboot the Device and Voila.......You are Rooted.
In Any case do not use this if you are not familiar with the process.

I think you have downloaded the whole android studio. see where the folder ' platform tools' is and paste the recovery there. copy the cmd from system32 and paste it in platform tools folder. then run the cmd prompt from there.

plz tell me how to root moto e because when i put the code in moto official website for 20 digit unique code then it says uh r not eligible so plz help me
Cannot root
After unlocking and flashing the device, I enter fastboot again (power + volume down), I then select recovery from the menu, but all I get is "No command"message with a dead droid logo
I get error DNS not authoritative for zone? I have never seen this error in all of my times of using ADB
rooting after OTA update of android 5.1 on otus xt1506
i am rooted on stock rom and i am recieving OTA update of 5.1 version..i have 2 questions:
1- can installing OTA update cause problems (brick,etc).?
2- will i be able to root it after updating it..!?
any help would be appreciated...!!
Hi there, I'm trying to follow your guide but am getting stuck after flashing. After trying to go into recovery mode I get the message
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)
Error: failed to load kernel!
Fastboot Reason: Fall-through from recovery boot mode
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
After i struck in to the problem i created a simple way to all my friends who are using moto x and thinking about back to stock rom 100% here you go
Downloads:
I assume you already have adb drivers if you're even here.....otherwise get them from the latest sdk here
Moto Drivers (Motorola Device Manager):
Stock Firmware: click here
Moto Fastboot exe: mfastboot
My Setup: Windows 8 machine <--obvious driver issues as usual
download all the files required
step 1: install adb files
Step 2: Install Motorola Drivers
Step 3: Extract Downloaded Stock Rom in the local folder
Step 4: Now extract mfastboot Moto X ghost manual to automation command file.rar
step 5: Now copy the extracted stock rom then paste it in mfastboot folder, now all the mfastboot and stock rom are all in same folder
Step 6: Hope you know how to get in to bootloader , go to boot loader connect your mobile to pc through data cable
Step 7: Now we reached the last step now you simply double click flash_modem file over now the files will automatically loaded in your phone and once finished reboot it you be in 100% stock rom
have fun guys

You should be very cautious when flash anything into Motorola phone, because it's based on Qualcomm system-on-chip, that has many security checks.
Looks like wrong model was flashed. Execute command fastboot getvar all - that is needed to know the exact model of your Moto X.
Will this allow/prepare a phone to take OTA?
The prior owner of this AT&T Gen 1 Moto X (XT1058) had used some roms, but he advised he had returned it to stock. It never prompts for an OTA.
It is running 4.4.4
baseband MSM8960PRO_BP_2323.038.123.00R
System Version 212.44.26.ghost_att.ATT.en.US
Build KXA21.12-L1.26
Is there any way to go back?
I mean, i did this method like 1 year ago... but now I don't remember what I did...
My phone doesn't have recovery and I can't format it

Execute command fastboot getvar all to know the exact model of your Moto X, and ROM installed.
