Root and twrp needed - X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Seeing as the moto g 3rd gen was rooted in a week after release I was wondering if we could expect the same for this fantastic device? Cm12.1 would complete this phone for me!!

It'll come in time. It might take a bit longer as this phone isn't quite as readily available everywhere (such as in the US).

Is root attainable on the D800's official lollipop update?

So, I'm currently running cloudyg2 2.2, and I'm thinking about downgrading back to stock and then taking the OTA to lollipop, but I haven't heard anyone mention if it is possible to retain root through the update process, or to obtain root afterwards. It'd be great if there was a flashable zip, but I don't know if that's possible at the moment.
You can get root again. Its a script in the development forum.
If you do this can you make a twrp backup of the stock lollipop rom and upload it? (since you'll essentially be pure stock anyway).
I'll buy you a beer
I see a link for a tool you use while connected to a computer, but does stump root still work?

No, all on-device roots are patched with Lollipop (unless you have a custom recovery, which is unobtainable on stock lollipop for the d800 as far as I know)
Use the one that requires PC. If you run into issues, pm me or reply to me on this thread.

root is easy, and ill confirm about bump recovery in 30 mins, charging phone for any re flashing required.
recovery is good to go now autorec for specific model at playstore.
Please upload flashable zip of this official AT&T lollipop.
Does anyone know if downgrading back to kitkat is a possibility at this point in time?

I'd assume you could just use a kdz to go back.
So.. no recovery as of yet on official Lollipop am I right?
Keeping that in mind, is it worth the update? Is it smoother/better?
I know this can be asked in any of the other threads, but I'm asking here with respect to its worth when compared to losing Custom Recovery.

yes there is just flash the edited logo.bin i show how to do it in the root video
The “How to root the Motorola Moto G 3rd gen with Twrp recovery” video, demonstrated that you can boot to TWRP (vice flash) to install SuperSU, retain stock recovery, and continue to receive OTA updates. Does this mean a rooted Moto G 3rd Gen 2015 that keeps stock recovery can continue receiving OTA updates?

I was able to d/l the update, but had to unroot to install the update. If you're using SuperSU to root, it's a simple matter to use the SuperSU app and do a full unroot, then just root again after the update.

If I understand you right, no you would need stock bootloader for an ota. You can work with TWRP though without flashing it by using fastboot boot TWRP.img.

Thanks for confirming. My phone arrives next week. Still trying to decide to keep stock or go with CM. Prefer stock, but don't want a difficult process maintaining OTA updates.
Still hope Tomsgt expands more on his comment in the video IRT OTA updates.

stock recoveries do not allow these sort of updates as they try and protect your device. to do this you need to install a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP. you can download everything you need through the google play store

After that you are going to recive the OTA alert 22.46.12 and then you will be able to receive or intall the 6.0 OTA.

I will try your method but firsr I have a question: If i restart my phone I get a message on my screen that my phone is unlocked and can't be trusted. So that means my bootloader is already unlocked and I don't have to unlock it again? So I only have to flash revolution recovery and find the file in firnware finder?
Is there a instruction how to install revolution recovery and where to find the file...?
