click the link below to check out the procedure for bringing a soft-bricked phone back to a functional stock firmware with bootloader still unlocked, but you will lose twrp and root. read the directions in the link as carefully as possible and you should have a fully working phone with unlocked bootloader, twrp, and systemless root. good luck!

I've been on the game for far too long, but there seems to be a confusion when
it comes to rooting this phone. All my previous phones have been fairly easy to root.
I read around a lot of forums but they have outdated information or are for Lollipop.
I have a Stock Moto X Pure edition on Marshmallow. To root this guy do i just have to unlock bootloader, flash TWRP recovery image via adb and then flash the latest version of SuperSU?
or do i need additional steps?
Thanks in advance
Do steps 9 onwards and you should be OK

If you want ota root, it needs to be systemless root.
Here is the twrp version u need.

I'm in the same boat as the OP. I find the available info confusing. I'm on stock MM with TWRP 2.8.7.1 installed. Looking at steps 9 on from the link above mentions flashing a modified boot image for systemless root to work with 2.52. I think the latest SuperSU (2.66? modifies the boot image, making flashing the modified unnecessary.

Im wondering this same thing, from what i've seen in posts we should be able to flash SuperSU 2.66 on a stock rom with TWRP and root should work.
I just want someone to confirm if this does actually work. I dont really want to deal with boot loops and having to restore all over again.
Thats y i went with trupurexmm rom. And skipped the sytemless root. Follow post three above

There many topics for how to unlock bootloader for the moto x pure, also on the website from moto itself. when thats done, you can flash TruePure ROM, what in my opinion is a good custom stockROM, or just flash supersu inside the bootloader

Thank you for answer! But can you use the same method for unlocking on any android version on the moto? And when im done unlocking the bootloader, how do i root it or is it automaticly rooted when unlocked?

Wow man, if you unlocked the bootloader you need to flash another recovery like twrp, when you flashed twrp you can flash supersu or TruePure
Huge suggestion. Please read through these forums for the Style/pure. All of your questions are answered throughout well as info you haven't asked about that you may find useful.
For the most part, unlocking the bootloader and rooting is easy. There is information discussing rooting 6.0.

Flash recovery with fastboot
Hi all, we are all surrounded here from ROM releases, versions of phones, a moltitude of options. I can't really figure out how to find a rom which can be installed on my phone, by the time I'm waiting for an unclock for CID11.
I've now a BT1 rom sim-locked and SD-not working and I can't use my phone at all. I'm stuck here.
I've rooted it already, waiting for a proper solution.
You may kindly indicate me the steps I've to follow to install the right rom, if I've to use safestrap or chainfire.flash_0.50.apk, and if I've to flash with Odin the bootloader and with which file.
Thank you so much, please add any consideration that you can consider important!

Nah man, im just picking on you. I dont believe there are any custom mm roms for locked bootloaders so far, ressurection remix works with a lp bootloader and its 6.0.1 though. Maybe check that one out. You may have to set your apns manually. I have no real way of knowing if it works on locked bl, i flased with twrp. But if you feel like taking a risk that badly for it, i would try flashfire on pb1 bl and baseband. Good luck!

I'm thinking about trying ressurection remix and i'm wondering if making a backup in lp safestrap would help in the event something goes wrong? or if does happen would I just have to flash the original pb1 rom and re-root and set everything back up again?

As far as I know you should always be able to flash back to at least pb1 and root. Also I myself would try flash fire instead of safestrap because I was never successful with safestrap, only flash fire. And I know the frustration of having a locked bl, as the unlock method has only been out a few months now. Good luck and I hope it works for you!
Well that didn't seem to work. Thank god for backups.

Yes thank God for backups, sorry it didn't work. Did u flash it with flash fire and move wipe to happen before flashing ROM? If you hold the wipe action and move it above the flash it will wipe before flashing, just don't wipe your internal storage that the ROM is on

I flashed 6.0.1 following the thread, thank you.
Sim is unlocked but Verizon keeps bothering me about, anyway it's not a problem.
The problem is that SD doesn't work, I formatted it FAT32 and it's working on PC/other phone, it was working with previous rom.
Have it ever happened to you that after flashing CID11 with BP1 u lost the SD card recognition?
Thank you!
I am unable to find instructions to upgrade. Did I miss something? I am on dev mod, TWRP, rooted Pf4. Do I simply need to flash the PJ2 rooted Zip? Is there a link I can't find? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I rooted so long ago, I honestly can't remember the process clearly. And I definitely don't want to lose TWRP or unlocked bootloader... Sorry for so many questions.
Did you manage to find a PJ2 rooted zip? 6.0.1 is not rooted yet, is it?
Regardless, don't flash anything that doesn't specifically say it does not include an updated bootloader.

Is there any possible way to root the Verizon Galaxy S5 running marshmallow? I've done tons of research looking for a method to obtain root, but it seems my variant doesn't have anything going for it. My phone is g900vvru2dpg2, and Android 6.0.1. I'm getting rather irritated with TouchWiz, I miss being able to change anything on my old Galaxy S3. Also please excuse me if I'm in the wrong section, I'm brand new to posting on this site.
Hi, bro. There is no method to root MM S5. But you can downgrade to Lollipop 5.0.1 and root it with Kingroot
Install this app from the market and look at the CID.
If it's 15xx... then the answer is "YES", there's a way to have a rooted Verizon Galaxy S5 running marshmallow.
If it's 11xx... then the answer is "NO", only LP.

I had issues during the root process also. What I ended up doing was, after you click on the first bat file, the device sticks at the white screen. Go ahead & do the root process now. The device does NOT have to be booted into the OS for this to root. In fact that's the only way it works. I was able to get mine rooted using the method I linked above.
EDIT: If the root process hangs Close the bat, unplug phone pull battery and reboot phone to recovery (VolUp+Pwr+Home). In recovery wipe cache only and reboot. If phone reboots back to recovery instead, pull battery and manually reboot. Now plug phone back in and Launch Bat #3.
When the above happens you do NOT want to do a battery pull, just go on with the root process.

Well, it's simple.
You need to have MM ROM, unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery.
If the ROM isn't rooted yet you can simply download SuperSU zip from chainfire.eu and flash it via TWRP.
Bootloader unlocking guide is here.
MM ROM is here or any other you like.
