[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.

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?

OP2 cannot upgrade from Oxygen OS 2.2.1/Cannot flash TWRP versions newer than 3.0.2-0

So.... Pokemon Go has a lot to answer for......
I have run into a really strange problem when trying to install an OTA on my *unrooted* Oneplus 2. I have been trying to fix this for days but I have completely run out of ideas.
I originally had a working stock Oxygen 3 (Marshmallow) rom with TWRP recovery on my device (not sure of the version). The device was rooted and apart from not being able to install OTAs, I was fairly happy with the setup. Then along came the Pokemon GO update that banned rooted devices. Ok, "big deal" I thought. I was quite content playing Ingress instead (a far better game by the way that doesn't rely on a "pay to win" structure). I really wasn't too worried but then I found out about "systemless root" and "Magisk". I thought that if I installed this correctly I could still play a bit of Pokemon GO when I wanted to and could toggle a root button in Magisk Manager to install OTAs when they became available.
This is where the problems started.
I followed a guide on how to unroot and install Magisk and "Phh's Superuser". The problem was that the Phh Superuser was being denied permissions for Magisk Manager, there were no pop up notifications prompting me to give it access, just toast notifications. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to give it permission so the "enable root" slider button kept sliding back, not allowing root. This is when I used SuperSU ver 2.76 (Magisk version) and it seemed to work fine. I now had a stock Marshmallow rom with TWRP and Magisk Manager all working exactly how they should be. I could toggle root and play Pokemon GO, then return to a rooted state when I needed to.
"Awesome, mission accomplished." I thought. Now I just need to toggle root off, download the latest OTA and install it through Flashfire.
First I made a complete nandroid backup (as I've done with other devices many times before) through TWRP. I even copied the backup folder to my PC in case something went wrong.
Well, this is when the nightmare started.
The first mistake I made was to use Flashfire when it clearly stated that Oneplus devices were currently untested. Not sure if it was a big issue or not, but it was a mistake none the less. The second mistake I made was to not stop the stock recovery being replaced when prompted before the reboot. I assumed (and it even states in the app) that the custom recovery should be reverted back to the stock recovery when attempting to apply OTA updates.
So I went ahead and rebooted, waiting for the OTA to install. I'm fairly sure from memory that it went into the stock recovery, flashed the OTA and restarted.
This is when the phone soft bricked.
"Oh well, that is why I made the backup." I thought.
I reflashed TWRP in fastboot mode and attempted to restore my backup. No dice, the phone was still soft bricked.
(And by "soft bricked" and "boot looping" I mean the Oneplus logo was in the middle of the screen, "Powered by Android" was at the bottom and the two blue LEDs for the buttons either side of the fingerprint scanner/home button remained on. This for me was the tell tale sign of the soft brick because these two light go off after a few seconds after rebooting usually.
So from here I have tried EVERYTHING. All I really want now is a working stock (rooted) Marshmallow rom with TWRP. I have downloaded many different full rom zips and attempted to flash them through TWRP with no success, I have returned to stock recovery and tried flashing signed roms with no success, I've even tried flashing the official CM13 rom for Oneplus 2 (with the correct GAPPs and kernel) through TWRP with no luck.
But here is where it gets interesting......
There are a few things that are really weird...
1. I have always been able to get into Fastboot mode and ADB and Fastboot commands "work".
* Operations succeed but don't stick (for example trying to flash TWRP versions 3.0.2-1 and 3.0.2-2 through Fastboot mode result in no recovery being there at all.
2. I can flash TWRP recovery though Fastboot mode but ONLY VERSIONS 3.0.2-0 and lower. I can also successfully flash the stock recovery.
3. I can flash OxygenOS 2.2.1 but NOT ANY VERSION RELEASED AFTER THAT. Doing so results in the soft brick "bootloop" I mentioned earlier.
4. Attempting to flash the official CM13 rom for Oneplus 2 doesn't work either. Originally I got the error 7 message, but after editing "Updater-script" in the rom and re-zipping, the process seemed to work fine in TWRP but the reboot gave me... you guessed it... a softbrick.
I have flashed custom roms on a few different devices before so I'm not a COMPLETE newbie when it comes to this stuff, but I am by no means a developer or even anything close to one. I have bricked this phone in the past (long story, involved getting it without an invite and it being shipped to me with spyware on it) but I used a guide very similar to this and it worked a treat.
www(dot)androidbrick(dot)com/unbrick-oneplus-one-two-3-qualcomm-hs-usb-qdloader-9008
So, thinking that this process would format all partitions and start me from scatch I tried it. It worked fine but I was still unable to upgrade from Oxygen OS 2.2.1 or install TWRP versions 3.0.2-1 or 3.0.2-2.
I have tried all sorts of things. I have wiped, flashed and wiped again. Factory resets, dirty flashes, clean flashes.... everything. All sorts of different sources for the TWRP images and Oxygen roms... nothing seems to work.
It's just so weird considering it's not a hard brick... just a soft brick.
So I really need my phone so I am sitting on this current build because it is the only one that works.
Here are some details of the current build I am using. (using CPU-Z app)
Model: Oneplus 2 (ONE A2001)
Android version: 5.1.1
Oxygen OS version: 2.2.1
Bootloader: Unknown
Build ID: ONE A2001_14_160226
Java VM: ART 2.1.0
OpenGL ES: 3.1
Kernel Architecture: aarch64
Kernel version: 3.10.49-perf+ (56)
Root access: Yes
Super user app: SuperSU Free v2.46 (Chainfire)
OEM unlocking: Enabled
USB debugging: Enabled
And these are some of the ZIPs and IMGs that refuse to be flashed to my device.
TWRP-3.0.2-1-oneplus2
TWRP-3.0.2-2-oneplus2
Grarak's TWRP recovery IMG for Oneplus2 (modified to install CM13) according to this guide:

cm-13.0-20160924-NIGHTLY-oneplus2
OnePlus2Oxygen_14_OTA_019_all_1606041303_bd42fc5cc5cc4ab2
And also my TWRP backup named 2016-09-16--09-44-09
I am really at a loss as to what to do next. ANY help ANYONE could give me would be greatly appreciated. I have been all over the net looking for ways around this bt have had no luck.
As I've said, I'm not a huge tech head, but I'm not a newbie either. The only thing I can think of is that somehow one of the partitions (maybe boot? ) may have been corrupted somehow when messing around with systemless root. But I don't know how considering it's "systemless". If anyone knows how to check for corrupted partitions on the Oneplus 2 please let me know and I'll try it. Maybe formatting these partitions might help (????), but I don't want to permanently brick my phone.
But I don't know how I've got this particular build working if one of the partitions has been corrupted. And the corrupted partition thing is just a guess.....
Please, anyone, someone point me in the right direction. Again, any and all feddback is welcomed and would be very much appreciated.
This is all Pikachu's fault.

The normal way too update from OOS 2 to OOS 3 is:
Flash the OOS 3 signed flashable zip via TWRP to update the bootloader and firmware
Flash TWRP 3.0.2-2 via your current TWRP's recovery image flashing option
Reboot recovery via TWRP so that you now have a recovery that's compatible with the new bootloader
Wipe data, cache & dalvik-cache (but not internal storage)
Flash the OOS 3 signed flashable zip again to update the system
Flash one of the modified SuperSU zips if you want root
Reboot system
All the files you need are in post #1 of this thread.

Thank you so much Spannaa!
I was clearly missing a vital step here and let it be a lesson to anyone else in this situation....
As Spannaa said......
1. Flash the OOS 3 signed flashable zip via TWRP to update the bootloader and firmware
2. Flash TWRP 3.0.2-2 via your current TWRP's recovery image flashing option
3. Reboot recovery via TWRP SO THAT YOU NOW HAVE A RECOVERY THAT'S COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEW BOOTLOADER!
4. Wipe data, cache & dalvik-cache (but not internal storage)
5. Flash the OOS 3 signed flashable zip AGAIN to update the system.
Again, thankyou Spanna for your quick and accurate response.
The order in which you flash zips and imgs is very important it seems.
You really saved me.
I restored the TWRP backup and I am back to where I started.
Is it now possible to apply OTAs when I toggle the root off in Magisk manager and install using the stock recovery? What do you think would be the best way to do this?
And would it be worth moving to the official build of CM13 for Oneplus 2?
Thanks again, Spannaa. :victory:

Glad you're sorted.
Not sure about Magisk as I've never used it.
CM13 is OK but whether it's worth you moving to it is your choice. Personally, I prefer TipsyOS!

Hi,

when I checked the option (Zip signature verification) in TWRP, the installation failed with error "Zip signature verification failed! Error installing zip file '/sdcard/oneplus.zip'", but it's successfully installed when I unchecked (Zip signature verification) option.

3. Reboot recovery via TWRP SO THAT YOU NOW HAVE A RECOVERY THAT'S COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEW BOOTLOADER!

second problem is that after installing the TWRP 3.0.2-2 (or above), then reboot recovery, I can't access the recovery again and the phone stuck on bootloop.
any idea ?

I don't have a OP2 anymore but that post was seven months ago and the instructions worked for numerous users.
Don't enable zip signature verification in TWRP - it's unnecessary.
Flash TWRP 3.0.2-2 via your current TWRP's recovery image flashing option and then reboot recovery directly from TWRP.

thanx for replay Spannaa,

I have already did that, but same issue once I reboot "directly from TWRP" , the TWRP doesn't show up and bootloop start again.

Last chance and then I'll leave this for someone that has the OP2.
Are you rebooting recovery "directly from TWRP" or rebooting system?
Is your bootloader still unlocked?

Yes, rebooting recovery "directly from TWRP"

Motorola Moto X pure stuck on bootloop after failed root attempt, HELP!!

Hey everyone I just recently got a Moto X Pure with TWRP recovery already installed and the bootloader unlocked, unrooted. The phone was stuck on Marshmallow so I went to update and it would take me to TWRP recovery every time and when I reboot back into the system, I'm still stuck on Marshmallow. So I downloaded an app that would make me download OTA updates while still having TWRP recovery but it needed root access, which I didn't have. I tried all of the one-click root apps but non worked then I stumbled across an easy root method: ( oops it said I can't post links, but basically I downloaded a supersu zip and flashed it) which I followed very precisely and I'm pretty sure I did nothing wrong. But when I flashed the ZIP using TWRP and booted back into system it was stuck on the Motorola logo which I'm assuming is bootloop. I was going to download a stock recovery using fastboot but I discovered that it would relock the bootloader, which would render the device useless to me so I can't. I also tried wiping the Dalvrik Cache but it always failed. I'm new to all of this so please guys I'm desperate for help. Thanks in advance

You can flash with fastboot the newest stock(the same version or upper) without commands "...oem..." at start and the end.
Or
The newest downloadable without commands "..oem, bootloader, gpt, oem...". @Philo0o
BL will be still unlocked.

Do you have a tutorial on how to do that please?

https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...de-return-to-stock-relock-bootloader-t3489110 @Philo0o

More accurately you need to flash boot.img which is the kernel , in the case where root was being installed using systemless mode.
Otherwise, if you tried an old SuperSU version (where systemless didn't existed or the ones that failed to detect to install using systemless method on this phone) you'll need to reflash the whole system partition (using Firmware system chunks or custom ROM zip file).

[Q] how to update (ota) after rooting (magisk) ?

Hello
I got no answer on P8 lite 2017 thread so I try here.
I was on B180 (PRA-LX1C432 - P8 lite 2017) rooted with magisk
There were no updates available in settings/update, but connecting to PC HiSuite B194 appeared (which seems to be for Honor 8 lite by the way). It downloaded it, pushed it to phe phone, but when rebooting it goes to twrp... so obviously I'm still on B180
I imagine we have to flash back stock recovery before updating ? And then twrp again, magisk flash, etc ?
About OTA over magisk I found that on P9 forum:
1) unroot by Magisk Uninstaller, find the download link in the post https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...63&postcount=1
2) flash from TWRP original stock boot img
3) wipe Dalwik and Cache from TWRP
3) flash from fastboot original stock recovery
4) let it make OTA update but select in the System Update settings to use Full (not differential) update - it will not delete your apps and settings
maybe the safest way indeed...
But as I "catch" the full ota update, maybe I can use fastboot to flash only system and boot, and then reflash magisk ?
anyone ?
Thanks !

I did this a few days ago!
My base:
Stock rom, Magisk, Xposed.
My steps:
1. Downloaded OTA on phone
2. Extracted stock recovery with huawai update.app extractor from the downloaded OTA
3. Fastboot flash recovery stockrecovery.img via PC
4. Boot phone, installed OTA without problems
Then I noticed my phone was oem locked again and root was gone.... I made a adb backup (TiBa needs root)
5. Unlocked oem again IT WIPED ALL DATA
6. Fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
7. Boot, patch boot.img via Magisk, restore all apps etc.
Done!

Did you try it? I also want to OTA update to B392 but I don't want to erase my phone. After some experiences, every time you update, the OEM locks. Is there a way to restore apps and all setttings via TWRP backup/restore option? Sorry if the question is completely wrong, I'm quite new at this.

OTA Update Failed - Huawei Y3 II (LUA-U22)

(Sorry for my Bad English)
I tried to root my device. So i flashed TWRP and installed the SuperSU.zip.
after my device got to boot loop.
Now i flashed the stock firmware using sdcard flash method ("dload\update.zip").
it flashed succesfully and my device is working fine. but build version is old (LUA-U22C567B010)
Before flash, it's build number was LUA-U22C567B013.
