Wait.... you may have to unlock your boot loader first
Warning : Unlocking bootloader voids your warranty
I am unsure whether this method works or not. But I have seen Framaroot work on other devices running the same specs but you can try. But I think we'll first need permissions from moto to unlock moto E

I'm not misleading anybody. I am just suggesting if anyone wants to try it they can.
But I'm not as of now a 100% sure this would work.
Since this worked on other devices with same chipset I think it should work here too.
You are. The first words the user reads is [ROOT]Moto E. Which means this is a rooting guide. The next ones they read are a deceleration of "MOTO E ROOTED". Can you please change the wording. Thank you.

Please do not mislead others. It would be nice if you can change the heading and the content.
Sorry guys didn't meant to disappoint you. I've changed the title. Thank you. I will be looking forward to try this on my moto E when it comes and will update thereafter. Thank you and sorry again
I would like to remind everyone that XDA is a "USE AT YOUR OWN RISK" site.
The OP now has warnings in it for a reason.
If you are willing to risk the damage to your phone proceed with caution.
I will add that most development starts with a few "bumps" in the road so hold on tightly
If you have further issues in regards to my post, then please PM me

shouldn't this thread be move to development section ?
Half Way
I followed the steps to unlock my bootloader of Moto E first as instructed in official Motorola website. They sent me mail with unlock code by checking my device id. Process was just like Moto G. But after that I installed custom recovery like CWM and TWRP meant for Moto G in fastboot mode. But Every time, when I try to boot into recovery mode after flashing it's showing 'Mismatching Partition Size' and then 'Boot failed'. No custom recovery of Moto G worked and I got the same message. I think we need a specific custom recovery written for Moto E. Even I can revert to my stock recovery too! Can developers please help me ragarding this custom recovery mode issue of Moto E? Assistance appreciated.

This couldn't have worked because Moto G has a different CPU.
Until we'll get a flashable stock firmware or someone with root will dump the recovery partition there's no way to fix your phone.
But it's great to hear that unlocking is possible now.
Yes I unlocked the bootloader successfully. But thing is that I try to root it at any cost. There is no intention of getting the stock one back. I need custom one meant for moto e which will install SU.zip at ease. Actually net 2.21GB internal memory is too low to work on heavy games. Even with this Adreno 302 GPU it is handling games like Asphal8 8 quite well. So root is absolute need!! Developers, please help.
As this is only a share of someone else's work it should stay in the general section for now.
Possibly once the process is a sure thing then maybe it will be moved.
You can brick your device by flashing a recovery from another device.

Yeh I knew. But I just tried to root it desperately. Hope, developers should come with better and proper solution soon for this newly launched device. But my device is not briked. It's working fine in normal boot. Just recovery mode is not booting up. Even as there is no stock firmwire available for Moto E as of now over the web I couldn't get the stock recovery. So I said I am in half way.
Is it like that at no time I can change the state of my present situation of recovery mode even if there is specific custom recovery for Moto E released in future??!!

Thank You Sir.
I do understand the cautions by the users. So I would be soon updating this thread as I will be getting my Moto E.
Also I don't think this method has the potential to brick the device.
Thank You

1MOTO E Experimental Root. Not sure if it works. Try on your own risk
This guide helps you to root your Moto E
1) Install Framaroot
2) Use Gandalf exploit to root your device1Wait.... you may have to unlock your boot loader first
Warning : Unlocking bootloader voids your warranty
I am unsure whether this method works or not. But I have seen Framaroot work on other devices running the same specs but you can try. But I think we'll first need permissions from moto to unlock moto E1Thanks a lot for the guide. Good work I did read it before. All I m concerned is about the warranty as I got this phone for my Dad. Is there an alternate way in which root can be achieved without unlocking the BL. Like a modified system.img or some exploits ?
Hmm there was an expoit to root without unlocking but it falied to work. And Unlocking the bootloader won't void your warranty if you live in Europe.Even here in USA my friend once bricked his moto g and he easily claimed his warranty. It should be the same for moto e.
