Root, unlock the bootloader, and install TWRP custom recovery on Moto E. Unlocking the bootloader is the first step towards gaining superuser access on Moto E. So we’ve crafted a step-by-step guide to unlock the bootloader, root, and install TWRP custom recovery on your Motorola Moto E.

Moto E is one of the budget-friendly smartphones from Motorola after Moto G. It comes with Android KitKat out of the box with decent hardware specifications which you can’t get on other devices with the same price range. This makes Moto E popular. If you’re looking for a good phone with cool specs and great build quality, grab the Moto E before the Flipkart stock ends.

So let’s begin with the process. Unlocking the bootloader, rooting, and installing CWM in your Moto E are interconnected and we must follow them in respective order. Our first task is to unlock the bootloader of Moto E. Before that, I recommend you check the pre-requisites section and disclaimer part.

Pre-requisites

  • Make sure that you have the device Moto E running on android 4.4
  • Install the necessary fastboot and USB debugging drivers on your Windows PC. In case you don’t have those, download ADB drivers, combined adb and fast boot driver package [here], and Motorola USB drivers [here].
  • Backup all important files including personal contacts, call logs, messages, and data in the phone memory.
  • Enable USB debugging under developer options. If the developer option is hidden under settings, go to Setting->About Phone and tap on Build Number many times until the developer option is enabled.

Disclaimer

TechBii will not be held responsible for any damage that may cause to your Moto E device by following this tutorial. We do try to put our maximum efforts into this tutorial to make it safer. However, by unlocking the Moto G bootloader, your warranty is now void. You will no longer receive OTA/official software updates of support. Do it at your own risk. By unlocking your bootloader, your data will be wiped.

How to Unlock the Bootloader of Moto E

  1. After installing all drivers mentioned above, connect your phone to the computer via a data cable. If any debugging prompt appears, allow it.
  2. Now reboot your phone in bootloader mode by holding down the power and volume down buttons simultaneously.
  3. Now head on to the official Motorola bootloader unlocking page [here] and register your phone there. Read the disclosures there.
  4. Being connected in the fastboot mode, open a command prompt in the fastboot folder (downloaded from above). If you are using Windows XP or older versions, you may need to install this tool and open the command prompt by right-clicking on the fast boot folder.
  5. In the command window, type the following;

$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data

The returned string will be used to retrieve your unlock key like this

$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data

  • (bootloader) 0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230
  • (bootloader) 30373731363031303332323239#BD00
  • (bootloader) 8A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F95
  • (bootloader) 1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000
  • (bootloader) 0000000

Now copy together the 5 lines of output into one continuous string without (bootloader) or white spaces. 

  • Now paste the string to the box shown in the 6th step on the unlocking page of Moto G. It may look like this. Then click on the blue button to know whether your device can be unlocked. If yes, a button will appear below the blue button. “Request unlock key” followed by agreeing on the terms and conditions.
  • You will get a 20-digit code in your mail. Copy that code and paste it into the command prompt opened in the fast boot folder as mentioned below.
