Same process as rooting the previous build. Flash SuperSU in recovery. Pretty basic.

It doesn't matter what build you're on.

Only if you want to use traditional root, which has been discontinued. Systemless root patches the boot.img for you, so all you have to do is flash the zip.

Yes, if you want to root the stock ROM. If you're going to flash a custom ROM just unlock your bootloader, install TWRP, and install the ROM. No need to flash SuperSU first.

No. Unlock bootloader/flash twrp/flash rom of your liking. Just like @Hisenberg said. Make a backup of your stock rom before you wipe and flash a custom one though just in case.

Yes. It does not rely on root. Just unlocked bootloader.

Yes it does. TWRP is what you use to flash SuperSU, which gives you root.

Yeah, but you don't need root to use TWRP. You can flash zips, custom ROMs, kernels, etc all day and not be rooted.

Hello guys!
My Nexus 4 is running PA 5 Alpha 2, rooted and custom kernel of course.
I got the .zip file of the 5.1 OTA.
How should I flash it?
How did you flash PA in the first place? Just follow the same steps. You should flash it with a custom recovery e.g. TWRP.

I thought I should install stock first because this is stock.

You can't flash the ota in a custom recovery. You have to sideload it in the stock recovery. You have to be 100% stock system, kernel and recovery.

I just got my second hand Nexus 6p and the bootloader came unlocked and TWRP is installed.
The updates don't work when TWRP is installed so I want to go back to the stock recovery.
How can I achieve that?
Build number: MMB29P
Android 6.0.1
January 2016 patch.
twrp has nothing to do with not being able to take an update.

If you want to return to stock, use fastboot and follow section 10 of this guide by Heisenberg.

Did you read the suggestions offered to you? You remove by installing stock recovery.

Yes I read it and I'm following the steps now.
But I was just saying that I'm not able to update when TWRP is installed, this guy above said that TWRP has nothing to do with it.

Why not just flash a custom Rom that satisfies your needs. Your already this close.

Like traditional root? I don't know of much need for that anymore unless an app has not been updated for system-less. But anyways, I have tried this so I know it works.
1. Download SuperSU 2.62-3 and SuperSU 2.52
2. Flash version 2.62-3 and reboot.
3. Do a full unroot in the SuperSU app.
4. Flash version 2.52. Now you have traditional root.

if I got you right, You are saying that first I have to root systemless(2.62) then sytem mode (2.54) ?

That's the only way I have got it to work. Flashing system-less patches the boot.img allowing you to do traditional root with 2.52. You could patch the boot.img yourself and flash 2.52, but I don't know what all the edits are.

Thank you very much
Hi guys and gals,
I am ordering the Moto E4 right now and it comes unlocked already. Now do I have to root it, or since it is unlocked it is rooted already? Also since it is unlocked can I just use a one click root?
Unlocked means SIM unlocked. You must unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery and flash supersu through custom recovery

Ahh, so to do that I would just have to look up a guide I assume and follow the steps on it. Do you happen to have a video by chance?

Are you trying to confuse the guy? SuperSU will not work. You have to use Magisk 14.0 or phh's superuser.
Has anyone tried getting root without TWRP?

I've been meaning to try the Magisk install with adb but haven't yet. I'll do that some time today.
