Upgrading TWRP and Root Problem - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So basicly I just want to upgrade my TWRP version (from 2.6.3.2 to 2.6.3.3+) in order to flash new kitkat roms.
But I have 2 issues:
1) I have rooted my device and installed TWRP 2.6.3.2 on my LG stock rom, then I wanted to change rom, so I wiped all but internal storage and flashed Beanstalk 4.4.2 + GAPPS. Now it looks like there's a problem with my root access (root checker says that there is a problem and superSU won't install binary updates). Recovery works fine. Do I need to root my phone again or what? Can I just do these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887 all over again?
Edit: Ok, After flashing http://download.chainfire.eu/376/SuperSU/, I just needed to deativate supersu and reactivate it. Now it works just fine!
2) I wanted to upgrade my TWRP using FreeGee, but it looks like the app couldn't load without root access (Issue 1). So can I upgrade it with just doing these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670 all over again?
Sorry for the long questions.
Thanks

Download the zip file for twrp. Boot into recovery and install the zip

Upgrade TWRP from 2.7.0.0 to 2.7.1.0

Installed the 2.7.0.0 version of TWRP using Autorec. Worked flawless on my D802.
Took me a little bit more time to figure out how to upgrade recovery to version 2.7.1.0.
So far I discovered 2 possible approaches and like to share it with you:
1. Following the instructions within the original TWRP thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449679).
This requires the TWRP Manager app from the Play Store. Install TWRP Manager, open it and provide root permissions. Then hit Advanced->Install Recovery.
Downside of this approach is that the TWRP Manager app requires you to install Stericson BusyBox. Since I didn't want to mess with an other already installed Busybox version, I looked for another approach
2. Flash new version through TWRP recovery itself. This is probably the most simple/straight approach.
Download zip version of TWRP 2.7.1.0 (e.g. from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/g2d802)
Save it in phone memory. Reboot in recovery and flash zip the usual way.
I did use the second approach, which worked flawless.

Problem with rooting

Hello, I'm having problems with rooting my S4 i9505.
I've rooted it before, but I installed a new stock rom, so I needed to root the new rom too.
I installed custom recovery via ODIN, and that worked fine.
Then I booted into the recovery, and selected SuperSU.zip or whatever it's named, installed that.
When the ROM boots up, it gives SuperSU has stopped working error, and when I update superSU via google play, it gives me error that binaries are not installed.
So what am I doing wrong, and what should I do to root the phone?

If your phone doesn't rooted yet , use the towelroot application it's should root your phone right
You can find an option in the recovery to root your phone. Atleast in Philz there is that option. After that install supersu from the playstore.
I flashed Chainfire-auto root with odin, that worked.

[Simplified] [Root Method] [Titan] [Marshmallow 6.0] Without Modifying boot.img

Guys today I came here with a simplified rooting method for titan running marshmallow 6.0 that doesn't need boot.img modification
Note -You need to have bootloader unlocked and custom recovery like twrp installed on your device before proceeding
Unlock bootloader here
Flash the custom recovery of your choice using auto flash script included in separate attachment
1) Download and rename recovery file as recovery.img and put into the folder of auto flash script.
2) Reboot your device into bootloader mode and connect to PC using USB cable [You shold have latest motorola device manager installed and your device should indicate usb connected on bootloader screen]
3) Now open 'auto flash recovery script' folder and run auto_flash_recovery.bat file
4) Now custom recovery is installed on your device
Steps for rooting-
1. Download BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip and place it in root of your internal sd card (other supersu version does not work on titan running official marshmallow)
2. flash BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip using twrp recovery
3. wipe delvick cache and cache (optional)
4. reboot device
5. If you want to use stable super su version i.e. UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip or any version like any supersu beta except BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3. download and flash it over BETA-SuperSU-v2.62 after rooting.
6. If you have previously rooted your MM running device using SuperSu-v2.52 with modified boot.img, You need to flash stock boot.img first and reboot then follow this guide (step 1-5)
#BETA-SuperSU-v2.62 will do all required modification by its own script automatically.
Note- Dnt flash any other supersu version or SuperSU-v2.65 alone on unrooted device. you will get bootloop. Do a backup of your rom before any rooting operation.
In case if u stuck on bootloop flash this update UnSu script via twrp, wipe delvick and cache and reboot. this script will remove any supersu file installed in your device thus fully unrooting ur device that will recover you from bootloop
Thank you! It's working!
Perfect, It's working!
Working,great

Where can we get the stock boot.img for Marshmallow?
If u r running stock mm, then ur boot.img is also stock.
i think it's not necessary to root again if i already rooted with modified boot image does that make any difference

Failed Root with XT1064 6.0
Everything ran smoothly installing the zip from TWRP, but on reboot: no SuperSU; no root. Now warnings or errors came up in the TWRP text during root.
MotoG 2014 XT1064
System: 24.41.34 titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US retus
Kernel version 3.4.42-gef77327
TWRP-3.0.0-0-titan
Installed zip: BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip
Device is unlocked. Status Code 3
Update to 6.0 was with OTA after flashing the stock rom using XT1064_TITAN_RETUAWS_5.0.2_LXB22.99-24.12_cid9_CFC.xml.
The phone was previously 5.0.2 Rooted.
I did not lock the bootloader during the process.
The OTA to 6.0 went smoothly.
Followed the above instructions to the letter....
The only thing odd I did was uninstall the SuperSU App on the phone before flashing TWRP and starting this Root operation.
Has anyone gotten this to work on XT1064? Or any other root method on stock 6.0 and XT1064

This will work on all Moto devices running stock marshmallow.
Root Moto G2 running on Official 6.0 Android Marshmallow Without (modified boot image)

Every time i remove system apps it boot loop any work around for this in marshmallow.. In lollipop removing system apps can normally booted up without any problem..
I successfully rooted my stock marshmallow on XT1068. I had softbricked it previously by using a newer version os SuperSu (I hadn't located this post yet, so I didn't recover from it with you script. I reflashed stock).
So, many many thanks.
In the end, my successful steps were
- flashboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-titan.img
- reboot into recovery
- install BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip from TWRP
- wipe dalvik & cache
- reboot device

Confirmed working on TWRP 3.0.0.1, stock Marshmallow 6.0 from OTA updates. Every other SuperSU got stuck on unlocked bootloader screen.
Thanks!

Work thanks
i Tried this on Xt1072 Moto G 2nd Gen 2014 LTE and had to use the UnSu first as per the instructions and for the reasons described in red. I was also stuck in bootloader with that horrible message that says your bootloader is now unlocked! Now the issue is I seem to be stuck on the Motorola hand stitched by peter crawley boot screen? I saw someone aske dhow long this lasts? I had to use an OTG usb flash drive to get my files on to the damn phone for some strange reason phone and pc having massive communication issues, not playing very nicely with each other????? wtf? anyway I got okays and successful messages when in TWRP 2.8.5.0 I just dont understand why there seems to be such a huge problem with getting this f"£$%^&*g phone sorted.
Nexus 5 rooted and flashed with the beautiful elemental x kernel, why cant we get elementalx for moto g? its absolute genius! now someone tel me what the hell is going on here, when will I ever have success with this damn phone? I hate bloat and it only has 8GB plus the sd card which is configured as internal storage, could this be what the problem is?

How I can get root acess? I have unlocked bootloader & flashed TWRP

Hello, there, today I've unlocked bootloader with QFIL utility, my phone rebooted, then I rebooted to bootloader and flashed TWRP. But I still don't have root access in my phone, what should I do? Thanks
S277_151029_ROW
//Edit Okay now I found in TWRP when I wanna reboot my phone if I want to install SU binary I swipe to install, but still no root installed
On stock rom just flash SuperSU zip in TWRP. It will install everything required, including an control app called SuperSU where you can manage root app's permissions.
Latest stable version: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu-stable

Phone going into recovery after trying to update the rom?

So I've got a little problem with my Redmi Note 7 - I unlocked the bootloader, flashed the TWRP recovery via fastboot and flashed Magisk v19.3 to root it.
Everything works fine but when I try to download and install the official rom updates the phone just boots to recovery and after restart it says that the update wasn't successful.
Any way to fix it?
