Need help rooting 6.0 - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys sorry if this has already been asked but. I just got a moto x 2015. I used the toolkit to unlock the bootloader and tried to flash twrp and root using the toolkit but it didn't work. I am wondering what I need to do to flash twrp and gain root. Thanks

You flash the SuperSU again? Preferably 2.79
Not sure how you are bricked, what exactly did you do?

Thanks, but I'm on MM and I'm trying to figure out how to go about flashing twerpan rooting. A link to the right files would be awesome. I would need the IIMG file for twrp

I don't understand the issue. There is a very clear guide on how to root here https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/guide-how-to-root-pure-style-t3503958. I was able to install TWRP and root with relative ease. The hardest part is just making sure you read for the details.

I successfully downgraded from marshmallow to lollipop and unlocked bootloader installed TWRP and rooted,then bypassed the factory reset protection so I could log in to Google on the set up screen.

It was easier for me to root by downgrading. If that makes any sense,which it probably doesn't lol. And thanks

Im glade I bought this phone. I was so aggravated the past few days because of the factory reset protection crap, but after I learned how to bypass it all is good now. Could anyone recommend a app or modual to use to change the navigation keys?

I'd you're wanting to remain rooted, then you will need a custom recovery.

Every rot method I've seen requires installing a custom recovery. Either twrp or cwm.

It's possible to extract the stock recovery from the Odin image and flash it independently. Check it out in this post. Be warned that it's only for AT&T S4's and it's possible to brick your device pretty badly if you flash the recovery to the wrong place.

yes, you will have to use the odin, and then root again. unless you're running a custom rom, then you will have to full wipe your device.

You got usb debugging on ?
Is your computer recognizing your phone ? I would turn on allow unknown apps too
Make sure you have all drivers also I would restart phone while plugged in on computer and see if it installs recovery bootloader drivers also

Q: Anyone know I can root without PC?

NO PC RECOVERY FLASHING METHOD
As always flash at your own risk. I am not responsible for what you do to your device.
So Santod040 took the time to help me figure this out and the method for flashing recovery WITHOUT a PC can be found posted below. Once you have recovery flashed you can root the device.
Update: See this method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=68101276
Make sure to place it on your external SD card and rename it after the flash is completed.

You should be able to install custom recovery TWRP from phone, using I think it's called flashify
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2349847
Then you just download SuperSU and flash in TWRP, I do believe.
I'm on custom ROM, so hopefully others can chime in before you take this advice.

Here's what I zipped up from work, on my device:
Place in root of sd card and follow prompts in download mode to flash it.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0ajcYhQap8eS3lidHphQkNLVzA/view?usp=drivesdk
Untested, but should work fine.
Disconnecktie may be able to verify soon...
Make sure to remove prefix from filename.

I'm just waiting for my phone to charge a few more minutes. Make sure you don't zip the folder up or it will not work. You also have to place it on the root of your external SD card. Make sure you rename it afterwards.

What version of SuperSu did you flash?
Latest stable version is what you want, v.2.76.

New owner. Wanting to root/unlock. 4.4.2

Got a used 10, got 4.4.2 on it. KOT49H
Looking to do a full root/unlock/recovery for Cyanogen 13 installation.
Been a few years and am rusty at this.
What's my best route to get this done? I haven't updated yet.
Thanks in advance
I would suggest you perform oem unlock to start with
.
If you wish to root only (without flashing customer recovery), then run the chain fire SuperSu boot image.
If wishing to flash zip files, flash a recovery (TWRP) and installation cm13.

Thanks. From what I've been reading, I could update to 5.1.1 and still gain full root and an unlocked bootloader
Yep, just remember that when you unlock, all user data is removed.

Issues upgrading to 6.2

I have a 2015 16GB version that's running stock rooted ROM. I've never had issue with OTA upgrades in the past but 6.2 doesn't install.
It goes through the process but doesn't seem to upgrade because it keeps prompting me to upgrade.
I believe that the issue is because of root. So I would like to know if there is an easier way of unrooting and getting OTA instead of going completely back to stock?
