[How to] Root from stock 4.2.x in 1 minute

Since I've seen many people downgrade to 4.1.2 just to use unsecure kernel first and root then upgrade to 4.2 and some still wonder how to install root on latest stock android, here's easy steps for you:
1. Let's say you have just installed factory image from Google. You don't need unsecure kernel. Download SuperSU Binary for CWM to your tablet.
2. Reboot to bootloader (adb reboot bootloader)
3. Type: fastboot flash recovery xxxxxx.img (where xxxxxx.img will be the filename of your favorite recovery. I choose CWM Touch since it's working good)
4. Boot to recovery and install SuperSU Binaries.
5. Reboot and you are done! Now you have fully working root without modified unsecure kernel fast and easy.
Note: tested it twice and it works. Hope this clears some questions.
Hit thanks if that helped you.
Have a nice evening!
Edit: Works for all android versions.

Actually, you forgot to mention unlocking the bootloader.

OK...so I will still get OTA updates?

I can beat that
Code:
fastboot boot superboot.img
Wait for the bootanimation (the colorfull X) to show up, reboot (by holding the power button till it reboots if it got stuck at the anim) - DONE

Yes unless you change any system apps or odex files.... If you don't want ota updates install from market fotakill.apk
I am not so sure about using adb commands etc I use the root kits and these work fine on 4.2 and 4.2.1

Of course you must have unlocked bootloader first, as well as usb debugging if you wanna reboot via adb.

I forgot to put a ROM on my sdcard before wiping/flashing kernel and my phone won't boot now. How do I get a ROM on there?
If you have a nandroid backup on the phone, resore it. If you don't have a backup, copy the ROM you wanted to install to the phone via 'adb push rom-name.zip /data/media/rom-name.zip' Then flash as described above.
Or easier go to TWRP recovery ---advanced ----- and adb sideload

Send from my awesome 1080p

you have to make sure it is the exact ruu for your device or you will get an error

Try to get into boot loader or recovery. Make sure the phone is under light and try resetting it by pressing power and volume down. The phone can not be in a dark room or this will not work. Then connect your phone to the computer. Navigate on your PC to where you have the Android platform tools. Now hold down SHIFT and right click in this folder where the platform tools are, and select open command prompt here. Type in "ADB devices" with no quotation marks. You should see your phone come up, it will probably be something like "HT something something" this is the serial number of your phone. If you see this continue. Make sure the ROM that you are trying to put on your phone is in the same folder when you held shift and right clicked. Now you need to type "ADB push" followed by the exact name of the ROM that you placed in the same folder as the platform tools. So it should be "ADB push ROM_NAME /sdcard" without the quotation marks. The /sdcard part tells the computer where to place the ROM on your phone. If you are able to do this, reboot into recovery and you should be able to flash the ROM from there. A side note, it could take anywhere from 1 to 5 or 6 minutes to push this ROM to your phone, roms for this phone are big files and they take a while to push in this way.

You should also uninstall HTC Sync manager, this will not allow you to use the ADB commands

Hope you get this sorted out. If not, we need more info like where and when you bought the device what carrier your on, what firmware you had and what rom you were flashing. Also if your running windows and what version or mac/Linux.

So I'm guessing your stuck in the bootloader. This should be a fairly easy fix. I'm not available for Skype at the moment but as I say should be an easy fix.So lets get some prerequisite's out of the way first.
Do you have access to a pc with working adb/fastboot?
I see the bootloader is unlocked, is it running a custom recovery and if so which one (name and version please)

Once your up and running if you want to go back to stock you can use this Nandroid Backup http://www.htc1guru.com/2013/11/stock-backup-3-23-666-1/
Alternatively you could use it instead of the Rom in my other post but the push is a little more complicated. Where as once the device e is booting you can just drop the nandroid in the correct folder using MTP on your pc.

Your device has an Internal Sd card. But that stock zip I'd not a Rom, you can't flash it like a Rom. It a Nandroid Backup so it needs to be restored using TWRP.
You need to get TWRP to flash, try updating your your adb/fastboot. You can check your current version by typing
Code:
adb version
In the command window. Latest is 1.0.31 :good:

Right click the recovery image, click on rename. Name it recovery for simplicity. Put it in the folder where fastboot, adb etc. is.

It seems you are still typing the wrong thing. Type in:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Just copy/paste the above code in your command prompt.
That is just to get the custom recovery TWRP on your phone.
Next download the SuperSU app and you will see a # symbol in your notifications to let you know you need to download the su binaries.
Choose the TWRP option and it will reboot the phone to TWRP recovery.
It may restart after it is done or you will have to press Back and choose Reboot then System. I just did this and I received an error in TWRP. I simply rebooted and SuperSU is working perfect and I have root access.

I've seen that before. It usually means you have more than one adb.exe or it could really just be out of date. HTC Sync Manager and WinDroid both come with their own adb. I got rid of those two and the problem went away.
Type in the command prompt, in the same folder as adb.exe
Code:
adb version
The newest one is 1.0.32, just to rule out you don't have an older version.

It's no hassle, I just wanted to point that out to you.
Are you sure it is 4.4.3 or are you referring to an error message? Our phone should be 4.4.2. Even though one of the custom ROMs says 4.4.4.

Installing OTA on rooted XT1064

So, how the procedure went? I have the same situation as you described (Stagefright available and my phone is rooted and running TWRP) and I'm just wondering if you faced any other trouble following the steps.
Thanks

[stock recovery and required files with my easy installer[/URL]
download above zip and extract to pc
in extracted folder run motorla device manage 2.5.4 (installs correct mfastboot drivers) choose repair if already installed
install minimal adb v1.31
put phone into AP FASTBOOT MODE (hold power and volume down for 5 seconds and release )
run the flash stock recovery .bat file
choose option 1 then 2 then 4
IF phone does not reboot (stays black screen)
Go back into AP FASTBOOT mode
choose option 1,2,3,4
hope this helps

no as its recovery for xt1064 - if you replace the recovery with a xt1063 that would work

Would I lose my data stored in the internal memory if I unroot my moto g 2014?
BTW: I am rooted using the the stock firmware.
EDIT: Do I have to re-lock the boot-loader in other to successfully install last update?

Thanks man!

I followed your instructions but update fails. It was rooted and with TWRP.
Will flash CyanogenMod soon so I don't care.
