First off, welcome to the wonderful world of Android! You made the perfect move! Secondly, do read as much as possible before doing anything! It'll save you lots of headache.... And apparently flaming too! There are some great people here that'll help but a lot will unfortunately call you out for no reason other than you posted in the wrong section. There's some great guides in the general forum. Start there and make sure you follow everything to the T! Good luck man! You're going to love Android over iOS!

Agreed. Plus posting in the correct forum would be beneficial too.

Someone posting that he posted in the wrong section does help him out for next time. The post can be deleted or moved and if its moved it doesnt get bolded as having a recent post.

Sorry about the desperate post, I am pretty hip to rooting I use to have android phones and use custom recovery. Thanks for the replies the phone is the I545VRUAME7 which I see there is a root but the boot loader is locked like on most of the moto androids. Now my question to you guys is, is it worth the root this version or sit tight

thanks

Roots better then nothing. There is quite a few things you can do with root, xposed framework, titanium backup, root explorer. There is also safestrap which allows you to install custom roms.

Besides root, look at Safe Strap.
For ME7 its the work around for getting past the locked bootloader.
It will allow you to flash roms and more.

If I'm on 4.2.2 and I do a factory reset will my phone go back to 4.1.2 or just stay on 4.2.2 and just be rest and if I wanted 4.1.2 I have to odin or sbf if I'm on a different phone and I'm only asking so I can show someone else I right but my saying isn't enough

You are correct. A factory reset will not change your baseband version. You'd need to flash it in Odin to change it.
