Procedure
  1. Download mfastboot-v2 extract its content and use that for unlocking Bootloader
  2. Unlock your bootloader From HereTIPs:
    1. Unlocking bootloader will wipe your device, Backup your photos, music, contacts using applications in play store or whichvere method you prefer
    2. The motorola site tells us to download the android SDK, You can skip that big download and use the fastboot in step 1
    3. Follow the further steps given on motorola's site, After clicking on Request an Unlock Key, You will get an email which will consist guideline to proceed further!
    4. Clicking on Request an Unlock Key is the point where you lose your warranty
  3. Download The TWRP recovery from here(thread) or here(Goo.im) rename it recovery-twrp.img and move it in the same folder as of step 1
  4. Download The SuperSU from here(thread) or here(chainfire.eu)() and copy it into the root of your internal memory!
  5. Connect your phone to PC and Reboot to bootloader by pressing VolumeDown+Power button for about 6-7 seconds.
  6. Go to the directory in step 1, Do Shift+RightClick in empty space in the folder without selecting anything, Select Open a command window here.
  7. Run following command
    Code:
    fastboot boot recovery-twrp.img
    If facing errors refer to TIP No. 2 and 3
  8. Now touch doesn't work in recovery straight away, so wait 60 seconds without touching the phone, The phone screen will go blank.
  9. Press power button and do swipe to unlock to get your touch working again!
    As Motorola released source code for the kernel, @cybojenix has fixed the touch issue, you can skip to step 10 directly!
  10. Select Install, scroll down and find the SuperSU Zip downloaded in step 4.
  11. Swipe to confirm, wait untill the flash is complete and then select reboot, to boot into your phone which is rooted now
  12. Check your app drawer, There should be SuperSU installed. Congratulations you are rooted!

TIPS:
  1. Downloading things from the thread link is a better option as the hotlinks may get outdated, Thread links will not!
  2. If you want to install twrp rather then just booting into it for once, you can use following command to flash it permanently
    Code:
    fastboot flash recovery recovery-twrp.img
  3. If stuck on Boot Logo of Motorola (blue M), @JerryGoyal has provided a Thread Here to solve the problem using CWM instead of TWRP.
    1. According to the method you can download CWM and Rename it to recovery-cwm.img in place of TWRP in step 3. Execute other steps the same
    2. And in step 7 Replace the given code with
      Code:
      fastboot flash recovery recovery-cwm.img
    3. In CWM Touch doesn't Work to scroll Use Volume Buttons and Use Power Button to select the choice
    4. in Step 10 you would select Install from sdcard
  4. If you do something wrong and stuck somewhere, The stock firmwares are available for restoring.

Is framaroot work on my device ?
If your device is in the compatibility list above, the short answer is : yes but it depends of your firmware version, latest firmware have less chance to be rooted.
If your device is not in the compatibility list and it embed one of the processor mentionned above, the answer is : try it and see.

Why framaroot doesn't root anymore after I update my device ?
Because framaroot exploit security holes present in several devices which has been patched with update you have done, so exploits can't root your device anymore. Framaroot's exploits have a very short life to keep your device "less exposed" to others malicious application. Keep in mind that framaroot is not a permanent rooting application.

I loose root after update, what I can do to root my device now ?
An advice : if you want to have a chance to keep root after update, don't update with Kies or ODIN for samsung devices or don't flash system partition, prefer OTA update and use OTA survival feature in Superuser or SuperSU.
And if you have no choice, you can use the traditional method : flash tools specific to your device

Will framaroot include more exploits ?
Yes, but don't ask when since I don't know myself, it depend of the vendors fix response.

Framaroot crash when I select Gandalf exploit ?
Often the first time you launch Framaroot by selecting Gandalf as exploit, it crash Framaroot. Don't worry, in this case you have to re-launch Framaroot and select Gandalf again, the second time it should work.

What means error# on result ?
All errors less or equal to 9 mean your device is not vulnerable.
If you get error#10, give a try with Framaroot 1.5.3.
All other errors need some investigation about your kernel image.

How to root Google Nexus 5


Ok, the Google Nexus 5 has been out there for a couple of weeks and we think it's about time for a root tutorial. So, without further ado, here is our step by step guide with images.

As always, gaining root access is risky, and if you do not follow the procedure properly, you can end up with an unusable phone. Also, please note that all data is deleted during the operation so back up all your data first. Neither AndroidPIT or myself will be held responsible for anything unflattering that may happen to your Nexus 5.

The following procedure is valid only for the Google Nexus 5.

Prerequisites

Install the Nexus 5 drivers on your PC (just plug it in and wait a few minutes, it will install them automatically).
Ensure that you have Administrator rights on Windows (if you do not know what these are, you probably haven't got them).
Make sure your Nexus 5 has at least 60% of battery. 70% is better, and fully charged is... you get the drift.

Downloads

Android SDK:
The general procedure is the same as on Windows, but the commands to use in the terminal are different on Mac and Linux. This tutorial is for a PC running Windows.
Custom Recovery:
Root:

I. Installing ADB and Fastboot

1. Download the Android SDK for your computer's operating system and unzip it in a folder named "Android SDK''.
2. Launch "SDK-Manager.exe" and install the following packages:
  • Tools > Android SDK Tools, Android SDK Platform-Tools
  • Extras > Android Support Library, Google USB Driver
3. Look for the new "Platform-Tools" folder in the "Android SDK" directory.

The download takes a certain time, but everything is automatic. Aint life grand?

II. Unlocking the bootloader

1. Turn off your Nexus 5.

2. Reboot into fastboot mode by pressing and holding the Volume Down + Power button.

3. Connect your Nexus 5 to your computer with a USB cable.

4. Open the Android SDK > SDK > Platform-Tools directory then right-click in an empty area while holding the shift key.

5. Click "Open the command prompt here".

6. Enter the following command:
fastboot devices
nexus 5 root fastboot devices
If you do not get a serial number (as above), your drivers are not installed. 
If you get a serial number, it's good and you can continue. Otherwise, your drivers are not installed correctly.

7 . Enter the following command:
fastboot oem unlock
8 . On your Nexus 5, confirm with "Yes" using the Volume keys to move and the Power button to confirm.

9 . Enter the following command:
fastboot reboot

III. Installing the custom recovery

1. Turn off your Nexus 5

2. Reboot into fastboot mode (as in Section II)

3. Copy the custom recovery file downloaded earlier into the Android SDK > SDK > Platform-Tools directory. Rename the file "recovery.img". If it does not work, simply rename the file "recovery" without the "img".

4. In the command prompt window (as per Section II), enter the following command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
nexus 5 root fastboot flash recovery
The custom recovery installation procedure only takes a few seconds. 
5. On your Nexus 5, use the unusable Volume buttons to select the "Restart bootloader" option and press the Power button.

6. You can now verify the custom recovery installation by entering "Recovery Mode". If you arrive on the CWM screen, the recovery is all good.

IV. Root

1 . Reboot your Nexus 5 normally. Copy the previously downloaded file "SuperSU v1.65" to the root of your smartphone.

2 . Reboot into fastboot mode (as in Section II) and choose Recovery Mode.

3 . Choose the "install zip from sdcard" option.

4 . Select "choose zip from sdcard".

5 . Locate the "SuperSU v1.65" file and select it.

6 . Confirm with "Yes".

7 . Once the file installation is complete, restart by selecting "go back" then "reboot now".

8 . Final check: install an application to verify root such as Root Checker. If everything is green, it's all good! Congratulations, your Google Nexus 5 is rooted!
