Its easier for Motorala to tell you how, and why you shouldn't.

Hi fella. Yes. You void your warranty. But you can unroot and its good again.

A guy on Modaco said he followed a guide there and unlocked in 5 mins. Not had time to go through it yet as am just got to work. I will ask for confirmation how later.

At least when the official version is up there'll be a link to where.

Yes your warranty will be gone, even if you later re-lock the bootloader and install a stock ROM. You still retain your consumer rights but getting a defective unit repaired or replaced will not be easy. I works fine for unlocking the Moto G.

Is it somehow possible to root the Moto G without unlocking the bootloader ? (Thus loosing warranty ?)

Well it's like for any other device then: Waiting for some exploit which the unlocking/rooting tools will then use to do it. That's what I'm waiting for since I don't want to loose my warranty.

Well I also thought that since I couldn't find any "developer edition".
Call me silly if it isn't.

Tip: If you live in the EU you won't loose your statuary warranty for rooting or unlocking the bootloader. You might loose the manufacturers (voluntary) warranty (the "Motorola Warranty"), but the statuary one should cover you for at least two years and for most faults not caused by you. You can't waive the statuary warranty, any manufacturer that tells you otherwise is breaking the law.

I'm not a lawyer, but that is generally how it works. I've had manufacturers (aka HTC) refuse to fix a phone because I've unlocked the bootloader, I stated the EU directive which said I had a warranty and they then repaired it. This only works if you are located in the EU (I don't believe it applies to the EEA) and the seller is also in the EU.

Nice to see that the bootloader is unlockable.
Just wait for cwm. (I dont have time to compile it myself.. )
