Rooting when updated to 5.0.1 topic

Hi all. I am getting my new Moto G today (ZT1068) and want to have lolipop but also need root. I was wondering how I would do this? Also if I do manage to get root while on 5.0.1 can I use OTA to 5.0.2 or would I need to un-root first? I am new to rooting so I'd like the easiest way possible, thanks for your time!

Rooting, recovery and flashing process for HTC Desire 210 dual sim topic

This thread is dedicated to rooting, recovery and flashing for HTC Desire 210 dual sim.

Rooting
Download the FramaRoot app from here.
Install it and open it up.
Select the Barahir Exploit.

Reboot your phone.
Check for the SuperSU app installed on your phone.

If the SU app doesn't appear, try 2-3 times more, your phone will be rooted.
Congrats, your phone will be rooted.

Recovery
The method for entering the recovery on HTC's website is wrong and plainly opens the factory test mode.

For entering the recovery, Switch off your phone.
Press and hold the Power and Vol Up button simultaneously.
Now relax. Use only Volume Down to Scroll and Voume Up to select.
Select Recovery from the list by pressing Volume up while highlighting it.
You are now booted into Recovery. This recovery is a plain Android 3e recovery but with a Nandroid Backup/Restore functionality.

Alternatively if you rooted your phone, you can grab a terminal emulator from the Play Store type in:

Code:

---

su

---

Allow it SU access.
type in:

Code:

---

reboot recovery

---

You will be rebooted into recovery.

As for the Flashing Custom Recovery, I will update the thread with the tutorial soon.

Why is my S4 i9505 randomly rebooting after rooting? topic

I rooted my phone a couple of days ago using cf auto root. I haven't flashed a custom recovery yet. I deleted 1 systen app which was the YouTube app so i could install a better version. Then my phone randomly did a quick reboot. It went to the spinning samsung logo and then to lockscreen. It took about 15-20 seconds. It skipped the samsung music that usually plays during boot and skipped the screen that says samsung galaxy s4 gt i9505. And, sometimes the home screen just freezes until i go to a different application (like settings) or holding the home button. Since i rooted, these random reboots hav happemed about 8 times. Today it happened about 2 or 3 times. I've noticed that is triggered when the screen is powering off when i press the power button or after a minute of inactivity when it automatically dims and then powers off. But it doesnt happen like this everytime. However, one of them happened was while i was talking to someone on the phone.


A couple lf people have said that installing the latest firmware on my phone will help. But isn't there any othet way to fix it?

Why is this happening? What is causing this? Will this problem go if i unroot?
