How to root : Android 4.4.2 (OFFICIAL OTA / Temporal Method) / No longer necessary

I made it (OTA US Global) NO REPACK / OFFICIAL OTA
The bootloader is the problem (you need to flash the 4.3 boot loader)
Warining: (thx to @Entropy512)
Flashing bootloaders is a dangerous operation - it's one of the few ways you can hardbrick your device.
THIS IS TEMPORAL , you take the risk.
The steps:
Flash bootloader.img of android 4.3 (us global) / mfastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img
4.3 bootloader -> http://www.mediafire.com/download/7i75m96r692rp78/bootloader-downgrade.zip
Flash the Custom Recovery / mfastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
Install superSU zip from the recovery
You can come back to 4.4 Bootloader / But you can't use the recovery
4.4 bootloader -> http://www.mediafire.com/download/wd4rhkqbo7797r0/bootloader4.4.zip

THIS METHOD IS NO LONGER NECESSARY
just flash CWM and SuperSU -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563599

With the 4.3 boatloader, you can actually flash the recovery permanently instead of just booting from it. If you want. But yeah. I did this with the official 4.4 OTA and it worked perfectly. Thanks for doing a guide for others.

Do anyone have the 4.3 stock recovery or where do we get out from?

I tried but I'm getting a boot failed error in the bootloader screen

Thanks this method works great got cwm and root on official kitkat ota. I flashed the US motoboot.img, then flashed cwm recovery, and finally flashed su. All is working great for me!

Attached is the bootloader from 4.3 and mfastboot. You will want to flash the bootloader using mfastboot instead of just regular fastboot. You need to make sure you have ADB setup.
Just extract these files to the folder where ADB is located, then open a command prompt to that same folder and run this command:
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then you can flash CWM recovery and it will work just fine for you. The first time you reboot from CWM, it will ask if you want to disable the stock recovery flash. Make sure you chose "yes".

Thanks for the boot.img
... To gain root, can we download and install Super Su from the play store...or do we have to flash a version of su via cwm?

You'll need to flash supersu in CWM.

What happens if you flash 4.3's bootloader, then say you want to flash 4.4 bootloader again?

I'll go a week without root, and come back if I miss it so see you all in a week!

You can just flash the 4.4 bootloader after. Unless we find some major issues running kitkat with the older bootloader then it's probably best to stay with the older one as you cannot use any custom recovery with the newer bootloader.
Here are the bootloaders:
4.3 http://www.mediafire.com/download/7i75m96r692rp78/bootloader-downgrade.zip
4.4 http://www.mediafire.com/download/wd4rhkqbo7797r0/bootloader4.4.zip
Both zips contain the moto fastboot which you need to use to flash them to your device.

I missed it on the very first boot. No root, no Titanium Restore and no Gravity Box. Reason enough to do the easy step outlined here, worked just fine.

Can this be used for United Kingdom Moto G too?

when you talk about cannot use recovery, do you mean that you will only be on the stock recovery instead of the custom recovery you installed? and what superuser zip and custom recovery to use?

HTC Desire 820s , No Bootloader

Is this real ? i really cant access boot loader , just the recovery with the no command screen
can you confirm ??
if so then what i think that this device is already dead

It has a fasboot mode, for now I can only access it via adb (adb reboot bootloader). It shows a black screen with fastboot mode at the bottom.
It also has a stock recovery mode, shows 'no command' but can be activated by pressing power button.
After you've activated it:
Vol+ to select
Vol- navigate down
Power to go back

Adb No devices found , idk why my Laptop doesn't detect my desire 820s

wil try now just installed htc sync manager

okay it worked and i went to fastboot mode , when i give a cmd order it says waiting for device
eg..... fastboot oem info

Same here
fastboot oem unlock
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
any idea ?

You are right, Mediatek HTC devices dont have bootloader. Infact mediatek htc phones can be flashed with SP Flash tool just like micromax phones. I know this is true for htc 816g.

hhmm
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img => partition 'recovery' not support flash

but flashing recovery with SP flash tool will work for sure.
1. Put your custom recovery in the firmware folder,
2. del stock recovery.img,
3. rename your custom recovery as recovery.img,
4. load scatter file,
5. uncheck everything except recovery
6. click download and then connect your powered off phone to pc while holding vol down
someone Please confirm if this works with 820s, without worrying about bootloader

Can mention on which device you have checked it, does it has locked bootloder (if exists)?
RUU in mediatek? i dont think mediatek phones have RUU, (try "fastboot oem rebootRUU" to check)
But if it does, you can extract rom.zip from the RUU THEN EXTRACT system.img, boot.img and recovery.img
Then keep copy this to your firmware folder (containg scatter file)
load scatter file
Uncheck everything except system,boot and recovery in sp flash tool
Click download and connect your powered off device to pc holding vol down

I've done that but the phone usually cannot boot into the system.
BTW I am on Kitkat 4.4.4 without Sense and I want to flash Lollipop 5.0.2 Sense 7.
The RUU is from a Taiwanese variant 820ys which runs Lollipop 5.0.2 and Sense 7 out of the box, same models(htc_a50ml_dtul)
The problem is that the Kitkat Firmware has smaller partitions compared to the lollipop one. An example is the Kitkat system partition which is about 1.4Gbs while Lollipop has about 4.9Gbs, so I cannot flash with the same scatter file.
So I edit the scatter file to inflate the partitions in order to accommodate the big Lollipop files (sytem.img,recovery.img and boot.img) and perform firmware upgrade.
What could be stopping it from booting? Is it due the fact that the Lollipop boot and recovery are verified? Thanks in advance
Screenshots for Kitkat and Lollipop firmware files below

well this question will take the thread off topic. I would request you to create a new thread regarding this issue under "q&a,help and troubleshooting". Chances of your problem getting solved are higher if you do so. I will post my views regarding your issue in that thread. And i apologize to OP, because i only started answering questions irrelevant to his thread.

i totally accept off topics if they are helpful

Hi.
It worked, but pressing Vol UP, not down. Anyway i've installed Recovery but when i try to access it from bootloader the device stopped me tellig that is for Android developers. I think that is because at the top of bootloader screen it tell "LOCKED". Any solution?

Hello I wanted to install Oreo on my PRA-LX1 following this guide
https://www.haky86.com/2018/05/12/install-emui-8-0-huawei-p8-lite-2017/
I was on official EMUI Nougat firware, I downloaded LX1C432B322 of 2018.04.13 what he said, installed nocheck recovery and then update_command. Reboot, title, nothing works except fastboot. I re-unlocked the phone with oem unlock and after reboot same.
I tried to flash twrp-3.2.1-v3.5-prague.img again to fix but length error with "fastboot flash recovery"
I tried to flash his OreoTWRP.img with "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk" and it pass, reboot but I can't boot to recovery.
Pressing VolUp + Power does nothing, "phone can't be trusted" screen with the eRecovery option (VolUp for 3 seconds) but eRecovery is dead (error mode)
Maybe this OreoTWRP worked but how to bot to recovery now ?

please help I can't buy another phone it's urgent...

I just update my guide, the sample I wrote it was emui 8.x because I'm already at oreo. but procedure is same the only thing change is recovery, on oreo called Recovery Ramdisk on nougat called just recovery, please check the updated article here the screenshot.

Download the nougat rom you were on before. Extract update.app to get the recovery. Flash it using fastboot. Then try dload method.
Or flash nougat twrp and try flashing the nougat rom via HuRUpdater

unpack your firmware, extract stock recovery.img and flash it.

But for flashing do I need to unlock bootloader or it can be done without unlocking?

If it needs to flash recovery the same way as we do for custom roms like fastboot flash recovery in platform tools then i tried that doesn't work to make it work bootloader needs to be unlocked I did that(unlocked the boot loader) then flashed stock recovery and it worked but after locking the boot loader with fastboot oem lock same issue happened again couldn't boot into recovery.

To flash ANY partitions, u must unlock bootloader even if the partition is critical or not. And to prevent the boot/recovery image damaged error, u must flash stock boot/recovery images along with vbmeta.img ( also extracted from stock, same build ).

Both, boot.img and recovery.img , also in some case, u must flash dtbo.img too. I dont know the exact situation of you so my advise is to flash both boot.img recovery.img dtbo.img and vbmeta.img

Hello, tell me that your recovery cannot decrypt the date section? I need to extract data from the phone, the phone won't boot into the system, I tried to boot into your recovery but I can't access the folders.

This is simply Stock Recovery with ADB enabled bro. It only can help u in some tasks which need to access adb via Recovery, it won't help to decrypt ur device and/or have any functions as other custom recovery
