Hi buddy,
But in the towel root xda link, they have mentioned that it would work only for those moto devices that are prior Jun 2014.
Does it work on Moto G second gen Indian version.
Anyone tried? I am yet to receive my phone. BTW how to check when the device is manufactured?

Towel root doesn't work. Already tried by @MarcusBremen

This is not a surprise. The exploit used was fixed in the kernel on June 3. Any kernel built later than that will (or should) have this issue fixed. The Moto G (2nd Gen) kernel info shows it's been built on July 17, so quite a bit later. The exploit used by Towelroot will be patched.

Where's the development?

I was thinking about getting a Moto X due to having an mf3 locked down bootloader. However, it looks like the development is completely dead for this device. Is the bootloader completely locked down for the AT&T version? Just wondering why these forums are so dead. What about rooting with 4.4.2? Thanks

They're dead because the stock software is just that good. There is no real need to hack it up because it's fine as it is.
That's what I figured.. Is there any problems with rooting 4.2.2?

Use RockMyMoto for 4.2.2. Use SlapMyMoto if going to 4.4.
So with the new 4.4.2 slap my Moto works perfectly rooting the phone?

Yes, but he's asking about root. If he's flashing 4.4.2 ROMs, he's already rooted and it's a moot point.

update? still able to root ?

I received my g flex today (D95010l). There is an update available in my notifications.. if i update can i still root and use cwm from the development forum?

You can still root. I am unsure about the cwm as I wasn't aware that was working for carrier

(Q) Will XPosed Framework work on the G Flex?

First off let me say thanks for reading my question.
I am an HTC One M8 guy myself. However, my daughter has the G Flex from T-Mobile. She has fallen in love with some of the XPosed framework modules. Does the G Flex support XPosed framework? I told her I would root her Flex and put the frameworks on her phone but I wanted to make sure it supports that app before I root it.
Thanks again!
Yes works fine

Hi, i have a flex D955 as well running 4.4.2 and i wanted to root it. But on the IORoot it says only 4.2.2 is supported. And on YouTube i found an app called Towelroot or something like that.
On my Galaxy S3 i'm running Xposed and root was no problem.
How did you get rooted? And can you switch to ART with Xposed? On S3 custom rom it was not possible.
Thanks for your answer in advance.

Just one more 'stupid' question. Is there a way to unroot my phone just in case i need to send it to repair.
Sent from my LG-D955 using XDA Free mobile app
All these questions have been answered in tons of the g flex forums. Probably could answer most of them with just the titles of the threads on XDA.

yes, there is an LG flash tool you will find lots of places and lots of references to throughout the Flex forums.
you use it to flash your original firmware, if you want to bother "restoring it" back to stock for some reason..

T-Mobile Jump Program

Hello, I just got my Sony Xperia Z1S a couple of weeks ago and I'm on T-Mobile's Jump Program. I understand how the program works but I'm wondering if I root the phone and put a custom recovery on it will they say I can't jump to a new device when I'm eligible?

They can easy find out if you are rooted or not by seeing the boot loader its binary change for good if you root.
Only some devices have binary resetter.
so think and take you next step.
Press thanks if I helped you.
That is incorrect.
The boot loader on a Z1s can not be unlocked.
You can always unroot Xperia devices by flashing a stock ftf and no sign of routing is left.

without unlocking boot loader how can we root ?
You follow the one of the several guides in the development section.
Unlocking the bootloader is not the only way to root and since a lot of Xperia devices can not unlock the boot there are lots of ways to root with out touching the boot loader

Unlocked bootloader is always rootable.
Locked on other hand is sometimes HARD to root.
So if you can't root locked bl, it's easier to make tutorial to root with unlocked.
Since z1s can't unlock bl, it's mean it is locked, he rooted that way.
If he unroot, or flash stock rom, no trace of root is left behind.

That is only one way to root, and always works, if you are allowed to unlock the boot
But it is not often the only way or the best way or even possible (as some devices can not unlock the boot)

Yup. I am rooted but my bootloader is still locked. The only other device I had where I was rooted but my bootloader locked down tight was my Motorola Droid X. But still was able to flash custom Roms through Bootstrap recovery.

But its always, to me, nice to have the boot loader unlocked because you can do a lot more in the hacking sense with no worries. All of my other devices that have the BL unlocked are all easy to save if you some how bricked it. No need for rsd lite / sbf your Moto device. Plus all of my devices where I unlocked the BL, I had long after the warranty expired.

[Root]How To Root Moto G 1st Gen

Hi Everyone I'm New In Xda Forums So Plz Forgive If Ask Anything Stupid,
I Have Motorola G 1st Gen xt1033 Asia retail Version, With Updated Android to Lollipop 5.0.2.
I've Been Trying for a year to root My Phone But I Cant root it I really need help, main thing is I can't unlock bootloader When I Use Fastboot OEM unlock It GivesbMe A Five Lines Code That I Copy and Paste To Official Motorola Website in which it has a button saying "can I unlock my device" but then the websites sends a msg "your device does not qualify to unlock bootloader" And that's it in stuck here ,I can't get the unlock code to unlock it so I also used kingroot ,frameroot, kingo root, iroot, rootmaster, and many more apps that says you can root without PC , but non of them worked , Plz I really want to root my phone.
Thanks And Sorry For My Bad English Skills
Your going to want to look in the Moto g 1st Gen forums. This Is for the 2014 version. It's just Moto g. Also you just unlock the bootloader then flash twrp. After that push super su to your internal storage and reboot into twrp. Then flash super su (with twrp) and your good to go

Hey I Saw A thread today, there is a tool for xt1033 to downgrade or update the bootloader. If I downgrade my bootloader or upgrade it. Maybe I'll be able to unlock the bootloader , am I right?
Sent from my XT1033 using XDA Forums
Idk I'm not a developer. More of a technology enthusiast. I wouldn't risk it. If it doesn't work your phone won't even boot into fastboot mode. It would become a paper weight. Unless you don't really care about losing your phone, then I'd go for it
