[Q] Rooting for the user experience

Hi yall.
I'd like my device to have the purest user experience possible. I've just uptaded my phone to Lollipop, and I'm looking after 2 features:
-google dialer and messenger app (found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/themes-apps/lollipop-google-dialer-messenger-t2940395)
- auto rotate on lock screen and home screen as well (I know it's just an option to toggle in the system)
These 2 things require root. However, I'd like to keep my warranty.
Do you think it's possible to root it, do these 2 things, and unroot it again (while obviously keeping the modifications)???
Thanks a lot,
Roumaru

Afaik, as of now there's no way to keep your warranty when rooting your phone. It can only be done by unlocking the bootloader first, which leads to an irreversible flag.
I'm sitting in the same boat.

Can you please explain how to root the moto g 2014 with lolipop 5.0.2 in germany ? can i just take the root tutorial for 4.4.4 or would it break my phone?

There is no way to unlock the bootloader and keep your warranty unless you bought it and live in the EU. EU regulations don't allow a loss of hardware warranty just because of software modifications.

Ok thanks

So in the EU, you're allowed to root it without loosing it? I didn't know that. Actually, I bought it in Switzerland so I don't know exactly i the same rules as the EU apply or not...

Beware with the boot loader. If I were you, I'd dig into google to find an answer, or wait till a relevant tutorial for Lollipop is released.

Just a very condensed version because there isn't any difference (except latest twrp is necessary):
1. Follow Motorola's instructions to unlock the bootlader.
2. Flash TWRP 2.8.5 with fastboot.
3. Flash latest SuperSU with TWRP.

I'm sorry. You have to look it up youself. Can't help with Swiss legal system.

@doppelhelix
i have no acces to the website of twrp. is the website offline ?
could you describe or paste a link where i can find a guide to root the moto g 2014 germany with android 5.0.2 ? because i dont have a lot of knowledge of that things

Read this very carefully, at least twice from start to finish. Make sure to read the whole thread, not just the OP.
Then, if you think you understand everything, proceed at your own risk.
Rooting, bootloader unlocking, etc. is for advanced users only. You have to know what you're doing, else you're going to mess it up.

Just one thing regards the app you wanna...
Google dialer... The default dialer of android stock 5.0.2 is not google dialer?
I don't see the difference, if is different some one let me know.
If the priv-app is from android 5.x.x it may not work on android 4.4 or any under 5.x.x
Google messenger app, it can be installed via play
Be very careful in flash a dialer app, because one time I've done it (not that app from that thread) and I could not open the dialer app, or received call... I had to flash the rom again...
again... If the priv-app is from android 5.x.x it may not work on android 4.4 or any under 5.x.x..
the two applications of that thread are priv-app.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but can I ask you if the Moto G 2nd gen got the Lollipop update in Switzerland already? I can't findf any reliable info about it. Thx!

The final decision on that depends on your carrier. If there are multiple carriers there, it's possible that some have it and some don't.

can you do a undectable mobile hotspot on a rooted moto g (with metro pcs or sprint) ?

Need help updating 4.4.4

I have googled and looked around all over XDA. I cannot find accurate data regarding updating to 5.1 from 4.4.4.
I've been a huge fan of XDA and the devs for years. I've always been able to find what I'm looking for within minutes. But this time.... I can't. The biggest issue is when I do find something, it's either missing details or missing working links. I'm not very good at this and don't know how to find the files needed on my own. Can I get some accurate help with working links on this issue? Thanks guys!
I have a Moto X 1st Gen, Dev eddition. 4.4.4 - rooted. TWRP (can't remember what version) I had Xposed installed, but uninstalled it recently (and the modules). Do I still need to do anything to further remove Xposed?

Is your first gen dev edition an XT1053/GSM model, or XT1060/Verizon model?
I ask because the 5.1 update for the Verizon model hasn't been released yet.
As for conditions to update, see the link in my signature, it explains it all.

Have a XT1250 and can't find any information on rooting.

I've seen numerous posts about the all mighty XT1250 and how's it rootable and unlockable, but I can't find a single post giving details on how to root it. I've searched the forums, the web, I can't find anything specific to the XT1250. Could someone point me on the right direction please? Do I just need to follow a tutorial for a XT1255? Thanks in advance!

Same advice as for XT1225.
UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER FIRST, by using the Motorola website.
Then root using the XT1225 stuff.

You can also try this toolkit, but all the other people who unlocked and rooted the XT1250 that I talked to unlocked through Motorola, installed TWRP, then rooted.

install twrp and when you try to exit, it will ask to root.

XT1254
Will this method work for XT1254 ? I don't want to brick my phone

That would brick a 1254, which does not yet have a bootloader unlock.
If still on kit kat, you can use moforoot.

Just got my xt1250. Will try this. Thanks.

How can I get root?

well i wanted to do the same as you. after unlocking the bootloader i wanted to root the phone but used a tut for an older version of android. I got in a bootloop and i fixed it by flashing original .img files on the device. Then i was running on 5.0 lollipop. So if you really really want that root acces, i would say downgrade your android version after unlocking the bootloader and then flash the files from motorola. Then follow a tutorial for android 5.0 for XT1092

upgrading to official marshmallow 6.0

i have an unlocked verizon moto x 2nd generation. can i get official motorola 6.0 update? is there any way?
thanks
im from pakistan so i wont be using verizon.

Which model do you have?
AT&T - XT1097
T-Mobile - XT1095
Verizon - XT1096

Motorola and Verizon have stated that they will not update the XT1096 to MM or 6.x so there is no "official" Marshmallow firmware from Motorola for this phone.
You can find an 99% stock MM ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/rom-xt1096-verizon-flashable-stock-rom-t3327345. Please read the full thread and ask questions there about this ROM. Some people - including me - are using it as their daily driver with little to no issues. This ROM has all the Motorola apps (Voice, Display, etc.) working as expected from a stock ROM.
Another option CM13. Read this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/orig-development/rom-official-cm-13-0-nightly-releases-t3256580/post65781867#post65781867. CM13 works on the XT1096 and other CM13-based ROMs should work but you will need to verify by reading their threads. Please be sure to read the full thread and ask questions there about CM13 or in the other threads related to other ROMs.
This is assuming that you are on the Verizon network and want to keep CDMA functionality. If you are using this phone on a GSM network and do not care to keep the CDMA access then you might want to look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/guide-xt1097-to-xt1095-nextel-t2972693
All of the options above require that you have an unlocked bootloader. If your bootloader is locked please go here to learn about unlocking it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/motorola-unlocking-verizon-moto-x-2014-t3291104
Please read and learn as much as you can. Most - if not all - of your questions will be answered by reading through the threads listed.

XT1085
Hello everyone,
I'm currently using the moto X 2nd generation bought in china (XT1085) running android 5.0.2.
I would like to get rid of the retcn version of the system because I don't speak chinese for a retEU or retUS and install android 6 MM. Is it possible?
My phone is rooted and TWRP recovery installed
I tried to install this version : Version 6, because one guy wrote on the topic that it worked on TX1085 but it failed for me, and my phone stayed on the Motorola launching screen.
So now I'm back with the factory setup and would like to now how to install android 6.0?
Thanks
