Thx brow s2

If your bootloader is unlocked, couldn't you just flash SuperSU 2.52 beta to obtain root? That's all I had to do on any M ROM, I'm genuinely just curious if there is a reason to not use the SuperSU beta.

In official Marshmallow, if only install SuperSU 2.52 without Custom Kernel, the phone is locked in the boot screen and does not start. The same happens with the Nexus phones.

I didn't know that, so I locked my phone and had to reset it all over --' hahaha
Thank you man?
EDIT:
Can you add this file to the zip for those that use linux distros instead windows?
Just add "Run.sh" to the zip, with this code inside:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
sudo fastboot flash boot victara-24.11.18-retbr-boot-root.img
sudo fastboot reboot-bootloader

You need to flash the latest twrp before these steps.

Hi. So this is for the Brazilian 6.0 posted also here? Or I'm missing another post.

I was wondering the same thing. Now with the latest BETA version of SuperSu 2.61.

It is possible to root using this method in the stock 6.0 installed with RSD ?

Hello can someone help me with step 4 please? I'm confused.

Is there a root/unlock bootloader method for the XT1097 Moto X? Thanks if you can help!

If you are on 5.1, there is no way to do it.
If you are on 4.4.4 or 5.0, you can use kingroot or mofo to get root, then with root you can use sunshine to unlock the bootloader.

[Q] XT1097 5.1 Rooted

I have a 1097 with unlocked bootloader running lolipop 5.1 Movistar Chile had before android 5.0.1 rooted , realize the unroot and update to 5.1 via OTA , but there is no image or form Rooot directly to my xt1097 , today tried the application for kingsroot see if I could get root my phone to my surprise was rooted , my question is if anyone else tried this method or to know more about him or if you have problems . thanks
Are you saying that root didn't work with kingsroot?
Rooting is easy, just flash twrp recovery. When you exit twrp it will ask if you want to root your phone, and do it for you.
Sent from my XT1095 using Tapatalk
yes its works , my question is why not seen a published method for running xt1097 5.1
I am seeking a less invasive way , so you can easily unroot and recive ota's

First of all with twrp it is easy. And second there are reports that kingroot steals imei from users. They say that they don't abuse it... but after using kingroot somebody somewhere has your imei, and in my opinion kingroot should never be used because of that.

How to update my Moto X 2nd gen manually without voiding warranty

I cannot update my Moto X , it says - " Unable to check for updates at present. Please try again later." This has been for 2 weeks now. How do I manually update my Moto X without voiding my warranty ( I got this 2 weeks back only). This is an Indian version. Attached is a screenshot of system details. TIA.
Download the OTA zip file. Install it with the stock recovery.

You have to hope somebody else made a copy of it before they installed it because when you install it the phone erases the zip after install... I can't do anything more myself.

Just got XT1095 with 4.4.4 stock... what next?

Just got a new XT1095 Pure with 4.4.4 pre-loaded. I've already gone through the 'unlocking bootloader' routine from the Moto website. What's next? Should I be taking OTA to 5.1 first or rooting first? Thanks for any help!

OTA first, you can't upgrade if you are rooted.

The 4.4 bootloader is fine with every rom out there. I wouldn't take the OTA since you are unlocked bootloader just flash the stock roms via twrp on the android develop section there is one for 4.4, 5.0, and 5.1. its the best way to not risk hard bricks. I have switched back and forth several times going this route. AGISCI posted them.
I also just got an xt1095, is this the latest ROM http://www.filefactory.com/file/5d66szhobgmx/VICTARA_TMO_XT1095_5.1_LPE23.32-21.6_cid9_CFC.xml.zip ?
Also, I have unlocked my bootloader but didn't root yet (this is with 4.4.4 installed). If i simply DL this image and flash it using TWRP (which i have installed) will it overwrite TWRP or break it in any way? Can I then simply root via TWRP ( assuming it is ok) and boom have a fully rooted Lollipop phone ?

You can't flash firmware files with TWRP, it won't work.
You have to flash it with RSDLite or fastboot.
As far as if it overwrites TWRP. If you use RSDLite, yes it will erase TWRP and replace it with the stock recovery. If you use fastboot to flash just skip the recovery image when you are flashing.

Why? Is this limitation only for stock images or ANY custom ROM too?

Because the firmware files are just standard images which get flashed and overwrite the partitions. The zips you run in TWRP are instructions on what to do and install. They are completely different things/formats.

Moto X 2014 (XT1097 Canada) Wont Boot

Please help, my moto x 2014 wont boot what so ever. This first started from when I tried to root my XT1097 on android 5.1 using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...e-edition-superboot-style-root-motox-t2889264 not realizing it wasn't for android 5.1. Then it was acting weird so I booted into fastboot and used a factory image which was for AT&T devices. Realizing this was the wrong image (No service or wifi what so ever) I flashed the proper image to return to stock, but now my device simply sits at the M logo and wont boot. Any help to get this device back up and running is appreciated!

Yep, I wiped them both as per usual. If it helps, I can still access fastboot and recovery.
If it is sticking at the M, its failing to boot Android at all. Does it roll into recovery automatically? Which firmware did you flash? Also, was the version flashed older than the one you previously had?

It doesn't seem to roll into recovery automatically. I flashed this initially : VICTARA_ATT_5.0.2_LXE22.46-34 (AT&T zip), and then I flashed this one: RETCA_XT1097_5.0.1_LXE22.46-22. I forgot which version I had before I tried rooting, but I do know it was android 5.1.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If you went to the 5.0.2 AT&T and your bootloader is locked, you won't be able to downgrade back to 5.0.1. Try getting a firmware that is the same version or newer.

Yeah, that's where I figured it was hanging. All signs just point to a bad flash/firmware. I'd try downloading a different version (even 5.1 since you're unlocked) or verifying the hash on the firmware you flashed. You can use HashMyFiles to check the md5 or SHA hashes.

I am personally a huge fan of House of Moto, it will generate automatic scripts to flash the firmware for you. Check out the thread here: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php?/topic/61124-House-of-Moto-[4.3]
Also, MotoFirmware has some firmwares for the X2, I used to use them for my RAZR M. http://motofirmware.center/files/category/46-moto-x-2nd-generation/

That firmware looks like the one for xt1095/T-Mobile/Pure Edition. Also, that error sounds like the HoM instructions weren't followed right. I've flashed my device a bunch with HoM.

So the phone booted up, thank you so much for the help, but for some reason it wont detect my sim card, the wifi doesnt work on it, and it occasionally reboots. I also noticed that the baseband version is unknown. Is there a way to fix this?

Sounds like whatever firmware you flashed had the wrong radios. You should be able to download the Canadian firmware and just flash the radios.

So, should I be able to flash the brazilian xt1097 firmware and have the proper radios installed from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/ota-android-marshmallow-6-0-final-t3248315 ?

Rebooting problem after trying to update to Marshmallow

I got a notification that my phone was able to update to Marshmallow today so downloaded the update and set the installation on its way. The problems start here, when rebooting after starting the installation it boots into TWRP, I'd previously rooted my phone but unrooted it after a while, though all I did was select the unroot option on SuperSU and didnt relock the bootloader or anything like that.
The TWRP is v2.8.7.0, and my Moto G is a XT1072 version and currently running 5.0.2.
Im tempted to factory reset but worried that might brick my phone. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers

You can´t update via OTA with a custom recovery like twrp installed. You have to be on stock recovery and the latest full unrooted non-modified stock firmware. Unlocked BL is no problem and doesn´t matter.
In most cases just unrooting and flashing back stock recovery is not enough because there still could be small changes which will make the OTA installation fail.
Nevertheless you can try that or you flash the latest 5.0.2 stock firmware.

Anex to words of Wolfcity, if you want to update via OTA you will need to install stock recovery and stock rom of LP, there is a procedure with a toolkit that you can easily find in general forum. The tool kit will help you to back again at the beginning. Nevertheless, why use stock firmware with a lot of cool roms to flash? [emoji4] [emoji106]
