I've noticed that GeoHot stated this on his towelroot thread:
The Moto G seems to be a good candidate, since it's very cheap (179$ the unbranded 8gb version, not sure if the 70$ verizon prepaid version is suitable for this) and should be enough for exploiting. Unfortunately I can't afford to buy one by myself, but with a bunch of pledges we can probably collect enough money for buying one for GeoHot. Probably this is the only concrete way to have a working root exploit with a locked bootloader.
I can start with a 20$ pledge. Anyone else?
Pledged:
20$ - Azarielz
20$ - BlueFlame4
10$ - super65man
5$ - giulio_splash
55$ pledged of ~179$ goal
v2 is live! More support. Reboot on your own time.
Still no new HTC/Moto support from phones without writable system.
If someone is willing to give me one of these phones for testing I'll add support.
