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?

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).
I've flashed Magisk, but because I can't get Xposed to work, I'd like to remove Magisk and install SuperSU, but I don't know how. I tried to flash the uninstaller via TWRP and it says everything is fine, but after rebooting it just stays installed. If I try to flash SuperSU anyway I get stuck on boot. I have to flash stock boot.img via TWRP and then Magisk magically reappears. I tried using MiFlash but it refuses to do anything. It says no permission.
One possible solution, I guess, would be to flash stock ROM via TWRP. Can this be done? Any other ideas? Or am I just stuck with Magisk until a new version is available?

Magisk is pretty much "useless" for now. Because it is based on system-less root, and cannot be updated (because still in testing phase! Newer Xposed module from Magisk requires latest Magisk root binary, which is pretty out of option atm as we can't update to the latest binary). The only solution if you want to have proper root access is:
1. Head over to Xiaomi MIUI website and download the full stock ROM again, and then flash it via fastboot (choose flash_all_except_storage.bat if you want to preserve your data).
2. Once flashed, reboot back to bootloader and unlock it.
3. While still in bootloader flash the correct CF-Auto root boot image for your ROM (contains SuperSU 2.82 binary, https://desktop.firmware.mobi/device:1748)
4. Wait patiently and it will automatically reboot. Install SuperSU from Play Store if you want root management app.
5. If you need Xposed, download the Xposed apk from XDA and then install it normally (not via recovery).
6. ??? Profit
*DO NOT INSTALL permanent TWRP as it will cause your phone stuck in boot loop.

Thanks for your help, but no luck. I understand what I'm supposed to do, but I can't get MiFlash to work. When I try to flash stock image I get a "Permission Denied" error. (I have unlocked my bootloader successfully). I tried flashing modified stock image from here But then I couldn't boot. My only solution is to flash stock boot.img via TWRP and I can boot, but I stay stuck with Magisk.
So far, the only options I can think of is to wait for a recovery-flashable ROM, a new software update or a new version of Magisk.

You couldn't boot, are you using permanent TWRP?
Have you tried download the Full ROM from here and run this (as attachment)?
http://en.miui.com/download-333.html
Btw, place the folder under 1 directory only eg: as attachment. (I tried in multiple directory eg: "D:\Phones\ROM\Stock ROM", it just wouldn't flash)
@soralz
OMG!!! I can't believe it. MiFlash refused to let me flash because I tried to do that from the wrong location. Weird??!!
Good. I’ve managed to follow your instructions and success!! Just a minor note, I couldn't flash the modified boot.img directly via fastboot, it still won't let me. But I just booted TWRP (without flashing) and then flashed it from there. Again, THANK YOU!
BTW, yes, I had flashed permanent TWRP and then unsuccessfully tried to remove it.

Oh you manage to fix that? Good for you then. And yes you cannot have permanent TWRP and SuperSU at the same time. The CF-auto root for me I just click root.bat and done. btw side note, you will lose root after each update, besure to check out the new patched boot image. I m sure in the future we will have automated process, don't need to re-root manually after each update
No fastboot, no Erecovery, no recovery, no root.... But unlocked bootloader & bricked
fixed

Hello there. I recently unlocked my bootloader, everything went fine.
I rooted, installed twrp, everything worked.
Then i wanted magisk instead of supersu, so i clicked on choose other app in supersu and that didnt work so i tried to remove supersu with flashing a file that removes it
then my phone got bricked,
I can't enter fastboot, i cantenter recovery, i cant eneter erecovery, and when i try something as flashify, it tells me i have no root acces.
only solution: wait for an app like kingoroot to make my device able to root, install flashify and reinstall rom etc
but i currently can't wait because im already late on system updates and im scared my device will just stop working after all
extra things i encountered: system apps dissapearing, not beeing able to install system update, can't change the theme etc....
I really need help, thanks <3
Update: I can get into eRecovery now but when i try ti get new recovery it says getting package info failed...
Hello,
iam now very frutrated trying to unroot my Huawei P8.
Searched the net again and again ending on tons of crappy blogs with unusual information :-/
My Problem :
I have a Huawei P8 (Not that dumb "lite" )
The USB Port is faulty, so no ADB is aviable.
The Phone was on B370 and i used crappy Kingroot to install TWRP. This worked and i have a functional TWRP.
I tryed to unroot the phone for Safetyet by installing Magisk to get rid of Kingroot. This didnt worked (ERROR 1 insufficient partition sice at flashing boot.img)
I found a B370 Stock prerooted (FF) here and flashed it with TWRP. This worked and i got rid of Kingroot.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p8/development/rom-huawei-p8-stock-b370-prerootet-t3421507
But i need a unrooted B370 Rom to pass Safety Net Check.
I tryed to unroot with the preinstelled SuperSu, but this didnt work.
The B370 non FF in the linked post is no longer aviable on MegaNZ
So i tryed to flash the system partition from a unrooted Rom. I extracted the system.img from the update.app and created a flashable zip.
But the phone hangs on the first bootscreen and doesnt pass to the boot animation.
Does anyone know, how to unroot the phone without USB by KEEPING TWRP ?
Greetings Chris
I managed to finally unlock the bootloader on my P8 lite by downgrading to Android 5. Once there, I rooted the phone with KingRoot, got the unlock code with grep and unlocked the bootloader. Then, I unrooted and flashed a rom to have Android 6. I then flashed TWRP recovery and found some zips that were supposed to give root access (named "1.zip" and "2.zip"). After flashing, SuperSU was not installed, attempts to install from apk got denied and flashing it seemed successful, but upon booting I can't find it anywhere. I even tried to sign the apk with no luck. Any ideas? I may need to re flash the root zips.
root
you need twrp--> supersu.zip install.
