The team of CyanogenMod recently introduced the first ever custom ROM for Motorola Moto G. The custom ROM is based on Android 4.4.2 KitKat OS and since this is an unofficial ROM, so the users need to flash the TWRP and clockworkmod recovery first on their device before starting the update. However, it’s a stable ROM and all significant stuff is working fine after the installation.
Still if you face any problem after applying the zip files, then you need to root your device. But rooting your device will end with the cancellation of your warranty which you can retrieve only by applying the official ROM via Odin. Here we bring you the procedure and rooting credentials for your Moto G device.
NB: Ensure that you are rooting the device with your responsibility and BlogZamana will no way remain responsible for that. So read the tutorial properly before flashing the Custom ROM into your device.
Requirements
- Motorola Moto G handset
