Flash a custom kernel (Such as Elemental X) and then flash magisk. Fail proof, trust me.

I rooted my Moto G (Android 4.3, german) with your video and all works fine.
But just in the moment, there come a message that I could upgrade to version 4.4. This I have done. However, the update process does not work. CWM will always report that the file is not signed. If I want to install them nevertheless, it aborts with an file error. Unfortunately, my phone now reboots after each start and tried to install the update. I need help! What can I do?

you can fastboot restore the device to 4.4.2 to get it updated or just install a rom like CM11 which is based on 4.4.2

What makes more sense for the future? Do I need to do anything complicated each time I update the original operating system?
If so, then I switch to CM.
I cannot install cm, because I have no chance to download the zip file. My phone constantly performs a reboot.
How can I fastboot restore the device to 4.4.2? Is there a way without lock the phone again? In your unbrick video you used a batch-file named "Restore US-retail_XT1032_KXB20.9-1.8-1.4_CFC.bat". Can I use the file also for german phones?
Excuse the newbie questions. I always try to study a new subject until I can properly understand it. Your videos are ideal for this.
Thank you! it worked and I am now rooted!

Thanks, it worked fine. I got root on my Moto G.
Just had not seen that unlocking the bootloader erases all data on the phone.
And this same method will work for the Boost CDMA version?

In the Video "Moto G root and CWM recovery install" you can see it at 3:37 (youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=GrDYGmgbQEw#t=217)
I have been rooting devices for years, most of them Samsung before my move to the Moto X Pure.
I have achieved systemless root. So far I've only used it to enable Sprint tethering, a simple build.prop edit.
What do I need to know before flashing roms? Can I flash roms as I normally would after my wiping protocols?
Thanks for any help in advance.

Rooting the Moto X PURE Edition 2015
Hi how would I go about rooting the Moto X PURE Edition 2015 without UNLOCKING the BOOTLOADER? I tried using Kingroot but it did not work. What worked for you?

Yes you can normally flash ROMs. As far as I know rooting dont have any effect on flashing ROM.

Depends on how you purchased it. If it's from Amazon with ads enabled, you're out of luck for the time being until one of the temp root methods find an exploit for the phone.
If you bought the normal version, then a TWRP version that works for your phone is in the works, and SuperSU works on pretty much any device with a custom bootloader because it's just sticking a su binary on the system partition and installing an app. Custom roms will be forthcoming when more of the developing-inclined members get their bootloaders unlocked lol

Oh cool mine is the normal version! I also noticed the unlock setting in settings as well. So at this point twrp is a no go?

That's excellent news! I'm very close to talking moto into giving me a bootloader unlock despite having the Amazon ads. I basically complained that they are misleading people with the name "play" and advertising a pure Android experience making it seem like a true play edition phone, so knowing that I'll be able to root without compiling my own TWRP myself is great news.

Yes I followed squids twrp post and the twrp fix and works great. Now I may play with the filefactory images and see if one works with this variant. I'm sure a bell specific variant will come soon.
Hi guys. I was really tempted to root my Moto G5 (XT1675) and besides there is a thread giving instructions about how to install TWRP it doesn't give any indication about how to root the device. And there is one started by @Johny Cipeli here but he could not confirm the root installation in MOTO G5, as he only has a MOTO G5 PLUS. So as you see I wasn't very confident about rooting.
Well, I did it at the end and in resume I followed this guy's youtube guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWLR8JnZ7z0 but instead of flashing the potter version of TWRP, I used the CEDRIC one. One important thing is that you should use the Magisk v11.6, don't use the newest one cause it didn't work for me (Magisk was working but not the root). Use the one that the guy attaches in the video. Anyway I put the magisk version here in the attachments (once you flash it you will have root automatically as it's shown in the YouTube video).

Nope. If you check the name of the file it starts with CEDRIC. The alias of our MOTO G5 is CEDRIC, and the one for the Moto G5 Plus is POTTER.
The link is for MOTO G5 CEDRIC
I successfully rooted my phone(CEDRIC) with this thread's tip + @johnycipeli's 'How to ROOT Moto G5's thread!

Make sure you are not using the newest version of Magisk and using 11.6. 12 does not work.

I rooted one of following 2 ways first if custom ROM I rooted with lineage ROM add ons super user.
And to root on stock ROM majisk 11.6 did the trick after flashing the file and then quick online search for majisk manger ver 4.3 install and open and you will have root :good:

Iv spoken about this before - depending on your country rooting doesn't void warranty
In the UK you can root your phone & not void the warranty as long as what ever you do is not the direct cause of the fault
Companies may play hard ball but that's the European law - they have to prove rooting the phone caused the fault & if it's a hardware fault unless you stupidity over clocked something or flashed wrong firmware etc they can't prove it
Anyway the only person who can decide to root is you so no point asking

Haha your warranty will be well out of date by time brexit happens
Thanks for giving me my laugh for the day
And on a serious note - it would make no difference - you still have to battle the company - Just make sure you flash stock rom before sending your phone off for repair if possible

Magisk v11.6 didnt work and V12 is broken, v13 worked (xt1676)
Its a question or an afirmation? Because i tryied and didnt succeed
how does stock updates work with rooted g5?
I did some searching, however I was getting a lot of results not related EXACTLY to the my question and a lot outdated (since Xposed is just now officially working for Nougat). So I figured it would be best just to ask. I'm not asking for people to do searching for me or HOW to do these things, I can do that on my own I just want to make sure its all possible before I go and buy a new phone. My LG G3 is currently in my oven and I'm trying to fix it, its been a good phone to me but I don't think its going to last long.
I've been eyeing the Moto G5 plus. My question is it possible to systemless root with Magisk (I want to bypass SafteyNet) and also get Xposed working on this device? There are quite a few xposed apps I can't live without anymore.
Thank you.
You can get magisk and xposed working in the g5 plus, I was running both for awhile. However, I don't think it's possible to pass safetynet if you install Xposed framework since it modifies the system.

Yes, you can toggle it when you need to pass safetynet.
Just an FYI... NONE of these things are possible on an Amazon ad supported Moto G5+ because the bootloader is not unlockable... No root, no Xposed, no custom ROMs, nothing. You need the full retail version for that.

On the standard retail version? Of course... even if purchased from Amazon. The bootloader is unlockable, Magisk supports the device, and Xposed supports Nougat now. Just make sure to backup before flashing TWRP (boot it and make a complete backup since we don't have current software images).
But you will never be able to do it on the Amazon supported version.
