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.

It would greatly assist your cause if you would explain what "tricks" you have already tried - otherwise, how does anyone know which "tricks" to not suggest to you?

Best note 4/4x MTK twrp, works with OTA updates.
However, I prefer to root with Magisk, no problem with banking and other payment apps, with some good app modules within.

I downloaded the zip provided by OP, but after extraction with WinRAR I can't find the FLASHER.TOOLKIT.Nikel folder. Did I just got the corrupted zip files?

Amazing work! EVERY ONE OF US NEEDS TO LEARN command line, but it's always excellent to see amazing devs make an all in one like this for the guys that refuse to learn the hard (right) way, and for vets that aren't quite smart enough to make a tool like this themselves, like me, but appreciate the **** out of this little gem making my first custom Oreo ROM from stock rooted a breeze! Perhaps a little bold, but im still calling it, OG PIXEL XL NOT DEAD just when I was losing faith! Bravo!
PS:. Donation incoming once my current "being a broke ass" sit-e-ation ends here in a few weeks.

Just peeped them briefly,. Mad props!

Damn dude, this is amazing. Will definitely give it a shot in the next few days!
Question about the install/uninstall apks feature: how does this work? Is it batch or one at a time?
EDIT: Also, to flash TWRP, do I need to be in bootloader mode and do I need to disable security on my phone before flashing? Will I lose root when flashing it? I'm using the latest Magisk.

Finally i got a solution for Nexus and Pixel Factory Image flash, now it works perfectly

Thank. I've been using the Unified Android Toolkit from Skipsoft for a while now, but a lot of functions are blocked. I'll give this a go.

You can't retain root after flashing a factory image. You can root the oreo factory image after you have flashed it

I take it this is for windows only?

Thanks
Thanks for this toolkit
My phone was loop in no command screen . And you save me
I have questions about this toolkit

- can I root my phone with toolkit

You can't directly flash a custom rom with this tool, you need a TWRP already flashed on your phone and you can use "Recovery Zip Flasher" ( I do not recommend it ), i think is better to put the rom on your phone and flash it from your phone.
This tool can't root directly your phone, but gives all you need to root it (Bootloader Unlock and the flash of a TWRP).
Pixel book? This tool is only available for Windows, maybe you can use it on pixelbook with a virtual machine, but i don't know how pixel book works

With the new update a i make a new recovery flasher option for devices with project treble. Test it and told me if it works

Little Help needed to get my 6p alive again

please help me.
I have completely wiped my device. nothing is there in internal storage. Just the TWRP folder.
it has unlocked bootloader and twrp installed
but it is the unrooted device.
so please tell me what is best for me?
shall I root it or can I directly go to stock Oero?
I have already downloaded stock file '8.1.0 (OPM6.171019.030.E1, Jul 2018)- angler-opm6.171019.030.e1-factory-1abcb2f1.zip'
I am confused, how should I proceed?
please explain me stepwise, so I can save my phone.

You will be fine I wipe my internal from time to time. Just make sure you update your bootloader and vendor. If you use the flash all I'm pretty sure it's done for you but if using fastboot method follow the steps in the hiesenberg guide. Just so you know once on the latest Oreo builds from what I've read can no longer downgrade. I haven't verified or read up on it myself but maybe look into if you think you might want to go back to nougat .

i have tried that earlier, but still i got the red triangle.
since i failed to go to stock today i installed latest twrp-3.2.2-0-angler using latest SDK tool.
then i flashed Magisk-v16.0 and then ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.4-20161008-angler and it immediately went to google logo and stuck there.

just use this to get back to stock https://developers.google.com/android/images
all you do is boot in to fast boot plug into pc and run flash all
there are ways to save data but you already wiped so no need
if your still confused just look up a guide of how to flash factory images and install the usb drivers

It looks good but didn't seem to flash radio and bootloader maybe just not in screen shot should boot but if it still won't boot in to the stock recovery and factory reset might help

You could have the bad big cores try flashing one of the 4 core fixes. Also I wait to flash magisk until after first boot. It can hang you on the Google screen .

Boost E4 1766 Only Boots to TWRP

-Screwed up somewhere as my goal was to install LineageOS and try to use it on an At&t mvno.
-Package was unopened for months, so it still had the older firmware.
-Everything seemed okay after I unlocked the bootloader.
-Then I installed TWRP.
-Did a backup of everything using TWRP before I was going to try and root the device.
-I knew something was wrong when no verity opt encrypt and Magisk gave some error message and failed.
-Now whenever I boot the device, I get a N/A in the top left corner and then goes into TWRP.
-Restoring the backup using TWRP did nothing.
-I thought this would be the solution (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc bs=1M), but I get the bad key first and then N/A before going back to TWRP.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e4/help/moto-e4-metro-variant-rebooting-to-twrp-t3825841
What should I do now?
Any help would be appreciated. Even links to other posts that dealt with this issue is fine. Be aware that my skill level is only a little better than following Youtube videos.
Thank you.

N/A is normal. It will be there forever after you unlock bootloader. Did you format data in TWRP and type yes to format?

Thanks for the reply.
As far as I know, I did not format within TWRP. Is that my next step? If not, please advice what should be done next.
My concern is something is wrong because both the suggestions you gave in that other thread did not result in the phone booting to Android properly.

once you flash TWRP you have to flash a no verity zip and probably magisk and definitely format data to remove encryption for your phone to boot.

Installing no verity zip and magisk produced the following. Did I do this properly because there looks like multiple errors?

I can't read that, LoL. Maybe... Failed toount data? That's because you're still encrypted.
Put the zips on external storage. Format data, type yes.
Now reboot recovery (not system) then flash the zips.
And you can take screenshots in TWRP.

Thanks so much.
I followed your instructions plus the one from the other thread. Phone is now able to boot to the stock Android. I guess my next step is doing a little more research before trying to install LineageOS to see if the phone works well enough on a USA GSM mvno.

One more question please.
On the E4, are the system firmware updates mandatory? I read that users are first notified and then forced to take the update even if you Disable Automatic System Updates.
Is that true? I wish to stay with the old firmware because people have posted that the new firmware eliminates any chance of using a USA GSM sim on a Boost 1766.
Thanks.

Use caution going with a custom ROM on this device, especially with a mvno. You may score far more hurt than benefit. Also consider what you are trying to accomplished going with custom ROMs given the clean stability of Moto stock ROMs. Toss in Xposed framework and a few modules like Gravitybox for full control/customization.
OTA updates can not be processed with a custom recovery (one of several prerequisites that your device no longer meets). You may get notified but the update won't install; you'll be dumped into TWRP. You can easily disable the update engine and corresponding notifications on a rooted device.
