The Motorola Moto G is now available to buy and root access was made available within days. Before you can think about rooting the device, you first must unlock the bootloader so the SuperSU installation is available. Here’s how we can take care of that:

REQUIREMENTS

• Charge the battery to over 50% so it doesn’t run out during the guide.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

• Unlock the Developer Options menu by heading to the About Device menu and tapping over the build number seven times.
• Enter the Developer Options menu from the Settings and check the box for USB Debugging mode. Now you are able to connect the Moto G to the computer without any worries.

HOW TO UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER OF THE MOTOROLA MOTO G 2015

1. Completely power down the device by pressing the Power button and confirming it with the Power off button.

3. Connect the Moto G to the Windows computer.
4. Download the minimal ADB and Fastboot from here and install the program on the computer.
5. Launch the minimal ADB and fastboot tool.

10. Press Enter.
11. You will see a long string of code on the display.

14. Navigate to Start > Notepad and paste the code in Notepad.
15. Notepad will lay it out like it was in the command window with about 4 or 5 separate lines.
