Remember! Rooting the Moto G 4G LTE will void your warranty! Neither I, nor the XDA-Developers Forum is responsible for bricked devices!
What you'll need
Code:
1. A Moto G 4G LTE running Android 4.4.3 KitKat. (Codenamed peregrine or xt1045)
2. The Moto G xt1032 TeamWin Recovery Image (attached to this post, Thanks TeamWin)
3. ADB and Fastboot Drivers. You can get these from the regular Moto G Toolkit.
4. The [URL="http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu"]SuperSU[/URL] zip (thanks Chainfire)
5. A brain.
First, you'll need to unlock the bootloader on your Moto G. This can be done from the Motorola bootloader unlock website. This will delete all your data!
Reboot your Moto G, and plug it into your computer with the USB cable, then copy the SuperSU zip to the Internal Storage(NOT the sdcard)
Next, copy the TeamWin Recovery image to the same location as your installed ADB and Fastboot.
Open a command prompt, or terminal in Linux/Mac, and execute the cd command.
Code:
cd /path/to/folder/with/recoveryandadb
Next, boot into the bootloader by powering down, and pressing the power and volume down buttons simultaneously.
Then, type this exactly
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Finally, when TWRP loads, go to install and navigate to the location of the SuperSU zip in the internal storage.
Reboot, and enjoy a rooted Moto G 4G LTE
Why u fastboot boot instead of installing? Wont hurt your device. Also if TWRP is overwritted by stock recovery u can disable that function.
Delete or rename "recovery-from-boot.p" from /system

The reason is because when I tried fastboot flash, it damaged the recovery partition, and since the stock images for the 4G LTE version haven't been released yet, I couldn't get a stock recovery image. So, recovery would just say "boot failed"

I probably should've stated that better. Basically, the image flashes, but going into recovery doesn't work anymore.
EDIT: Nevermind. I figured it out and it worked great! Wahoo!
When I type in "cd /path/to/folder/with/recoveryandadb", it says "the system cannot find the path specified"?

So after typing in exactly "fastboot boot recovery.img", it didn't work.
EDIT: Nevermind, got it to work. Not too confusing actually, thanks.
Worked! Restore ?
Hi
Your instructions worked properly on both G 4Gs I recently purchased.
However, one of the phones is having problems with the SD card. Keeps saying it was
removed unexpectedly.
I want to restore the phone to factory with boot loader locked so I can ship it back for warranty.
2 Questions:
How do I restore it?
Has unlocking boot loader and rooting it left a trace that the show ?
Thanks
Edit: worked on my xt1039 as a temporary solution If anyone is feeling experimental

The sdcard issue is a known problem with some cards, check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783238 supposedly motorola is working on a fix. Do note that this phone will not use UHS-1 or UHS-2 speeds so buying those cards is a waste of money. Check this out aswell:https://forums.motorola.com/posts/7e59cc7baf
If you still have your receipt maybe you can return the card for a different model and try it in store? Depending on how/when you purchased it also I would avoid class-10 or UHS cards as those seem to be less likely to work in this device currently.
1. Turn the phone off hold power and volume down for a few seconds let go and you should instantly see a menu pop up. Navigation: Volume down scrolls down then goes back to the top of the list, volume up selects power... reboots.
You voided the warranty when you unlocked the bootloader, unless your in UK you can't return it. Returning it probably won't fix the issue anyway, they did say they were working on a fix but until that is available I doubt they can help you.
2.You input your device code when you unlocked it on motorola's website unless there is a way to change that to a legitimate one then no, I highly doubt you can hide that you unlocked the bootloader.
XT1045?
I have the Moto G 4G LTE XT1045. This file is from the other Moto G, the original one (falcon). Doing this in my phone will not brick it?

Note for the new ones here:
XT1045 is code name "peregrine" the other Moto G's, with exception of the UK, and probably other 4G LTE..All other models are code name "falcon"..the two are NOT compatible..
Moto X code name is "ghost"
Droid Maxx code name is "obake"
The above mentioned are NOT interchangeable.. (UNLESS) you are a Dev and experienced in Porting..

So far as I can tell, no. The command being used with that image is "fastboot boot", not "fastboot flash". The former is (so far as I can tell) a "download this image and use it to boot once" command; it (if I'm reading correctly) wouldn't actually overwrite the recovery on your phone. The latter, OTOH, would surely overwrite your recovery, and would probably be ill-advised here (judging by some other posts, the OP gave it a try and subsequently recovery on the OP's phone stopped working).
So unless that recovery image is so horribly broken that even just booting with it will release the magic smoke (unlikely, as I doubt TeamWin would release it in that state ), I suspect it'd be fine. Probably. Just make sure you get the command right!
DISCLAIMER: I'm not actually fully familiar with fastboot myself, but I've worked with similar utilities on similar devices before (in particular, for my old Nokia N900). Have seen similar distinctions between "use this image this one time only" and "flash this image to the device and use it", though, so I'm feeling good about what amounts to an educated guess here.
Fully working CWM Recovery (Unofficial) Now Available Here for Moto G 4G/LTE. ie. can 'fastboot flash' this version.
Hey guys so I did this fully, seemed to work, but when I go back and launch bootloader and try to run recovery it says "boot failed"
Initially I installed SuperSU through TWRP like stated and functions, but I feel like I dont actually have a recovery installed..?

Thanks. I notice that once I did the process. "fastboot boot" only boot the device, it don't flash anything. In my case I only want the root, this works perfectly for me.
XT1039, here. Worked fine for me!
Now I can actually install apps without worrying about the internal memory evaporating. It's almost as good as Gingerbread! :silly:
install 4.4.4 after root.
Thanks for this guide it worked perfectly.
But what is the newbiest way to remove root, install 4.4.4 update.
And return to root. I tried using the supersu app to un-root but it didn't work.
Has anyone tried this method? http://www.droidviews.com/root-moto-g-4g-lte/
Seems I am torn between fastboot boot as described in this tread, or the fastboot flash described in the droidviews instructions. Although I am not interested in ROMs, I do want the ability to backup and restore the way TWRP does it. I have TWRP on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.
The two files associated with this TWRP boot/flash are:
twrp-2.7.1.0-peregrine-201407161845.img (from droidviews instructions)
openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-xt1032 (from this thread)
Thanks

fastboot boot --> temporary boot from computer, no files modified on device
fastboot flash --> files are modified on device
This thread (OLD) --> The recovery in this thread is actually for Moto G (falcon). Do NOT fastboot flash - it will not work for our devie (Moto G 4G - peregrine). Only fastboot boot works. It was useful for installing SuperSu and gaining root (but you couldn't boot into custom recovery again without computer as it remained stock recovery)
Moto G 4G Development Thread on CWM, TWRP and Philz recoveries (NEW) --> These are fully functional recoveries specific for the Moto G 4G (peregrine) - Our device! Thus we can 'fastboot flash' onto our device and it will work. Droidviews has done a nice guide on how to 'Fastboot flash' with TWRP. But you can flash the otehr two recoveries too (just download the file from the thread and flash like droidviews says). Choose whichever you prefer!
You can then install SuperSU for root, and reboot into recovery at any time to install/backup/restore etc with recovery.
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.
I have made some Boot Logos for Motorola phones and would like to share them with the community.
Although the project was initially for Moto G5 Plus (Potter), I have made all versions with the text motorola on the boot images.
Features :
N/A hidden
Redesigned bootloader menu
Some other minor changes in boot logo images
These Boot Logos can also be flashed to other Motorola Devices with 1080X1920 screen resolution like:
Moto G4
Moto G4 Plus
Moto G5
Moto G5s
Moto G5s Plus
Moto X4
Moto Z2 Play
Other Motorola phone users may use the version of the boot logo with motorola written on the image instead of moto g5 plus.
Use VX.0_BL_9-3_by_4 Zip for Moto G5 Plus.
Use VX.1_BL_9-3_by_4 Zip for other Motorola devices.
The file names with DT at the end stand for Boot Logos suited for Dark Theme.
All Boot Logos have been posted on SOURCEFORGE and more would be added in the coming future. The designs have been separated into two folders and further organized inside each folder by version numbers starting with V1. All the zips are functionally the same and you can flash whichever version you like. The only difference is in the text shown on the Boot Logo image. Head down for viewing previews and downloading the boot logos.
How to Install (via Custom Recovery)
