i flash recovery twrp with moto toolkit the first time and it work but when i reboot i would lose root.then i try towelroot it would give me root again but if i reboot i would lose root. anyway to solve this would be great. thanks in advance

If you can boot into recovery (twrp) just flash the su zip, if you search the forums or Google you will find a link

You used a toolkit to flash recovery and root the phone? In the time it took to download and get the toolkit ready, you probably could have downloaded mfastboot, recovery, and a superuser zip and had all of them flashed and no issues.

If you are using a tool kit, I have to ask.. Have you visited Moto's web site, requested the unlock code for your phone, and actually used it (mfastboot oem unlock uniquecode)?
If you have a developer edtion, consider this... Don't use the tool kit, instead...
Install Android Platform Tools, ADB, mFastboot and the Moto drivers by following -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/ADB.htm
Root by following -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/step-step-instructions-unlocking-t2649738 however, since it was written some time ago, get and use the newest TWRP from -> http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/ghost and get the newest SuperSU from -> http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu and copy it to the /SDCard in your phone (or just download it from the browser on your phone so its in /sdcard/download folder before you start)... Use these versions when following that process.
If you already got your unlock code from Moto's web site and used it, then you can skip step 1.
And step 5 should be started with the phone UNPLUGGED.

thanks for all the reply. i have it unlock by Moto's web site with the code.i have twrp 2711 and everything flash fine. i flash with the new su 2.0 in twrp2.7.1.1 it said flash successful but when it boots up i still have no root. i use rsd lite and flash Google Play Edition 4.4.2, by Q9Nap where the rom is already rooted. root work fine until i reboot i would lose root again.thanks in advance for any and all the help

Did you ever try to downgrade to 4.4 and use something like slapmymoto or MotoWpNoMo or something before?
Either way, based on the past seeing similar symptoms.. I would consider downloading the stock verizon 4.4.2 SBF and then follow Option 5 at -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-ReturnToStock.html to get back to stock, then try TWRP and SuperSU again. (and yes there are a few lines/commands repeated there, that is intentional)

Heard of this another time....but can't find the thread. All signs for that person was bootloader unlocked and write protection still enabled.

[KitKat] [Lollipop] Root XT1039/XT1040 CF-Auto-Root Peregrine By Chainfire

CF-Auto-Root Peregrine by Chainfire​
I asked chainfire to provide us with a supporting root programme to root the Moto G 4G edition XT1039/XT1040 Peregrine
This will root the Moto G XT1039/XT1040 on KitKat or Lollipop
Instructions
Copy file to pc
Connect phone to PC via USB
Put phone in fastboot mode
Unzip all the files in zip
Run the script depending on what
operating system you are using
Restart phone once done
Optional step
Open the supersu app and update the binary (normal method not recovery)
Download
Chainfires CF-Auto-Root site Here
Notes
You need an unlocked bootloader
You need to unlock your bootloader via the Motorola website before using this!
If you have already unlocked your bootloader in the past it will not format data
This version should do all Peregrine models but use at your own risk
All credit goes to chainfire for making the package
Main CF-Auto-Root XDA thread Here
Main CF-Auto-Root Site Here

Nice work, thanks!

Thanks you marcussmith2626 (and to Chainfire of course) I have seen the CF AutoRoot the other day and was thinking that the one for XT1003 would surely work for the XT1039/1040/1042/1045, but having one specially made for ours is better.
One thing to know: the recovery is not flashed, only booted (command used is fastboot boot), so no change is made to the (custom) recovery, which is good.
I have already rooted my XT1039 so I do not need to use this but I will use it next time I flash my phone.
I don't know if Chainfire will regularly update these images to update superSU binary, but updating it from Playstore is very easy anyway

So this means, we do not need the motorola-website to get an unlock code? CF-Root will unlock
the bootloader on its own? Meaning Motorola can never know that the bootloader was unlocked,
if we lock it again?

No you need to unlock the phone via the Motorola website if you have never unlocked the bootloader before
It means if you have relocked the bootloader since you unlocked it then it will unlock it again

WIll I be able to update OTA to Lollipop (when it comes available), with this applied?
/EDIT:
I think I have an answer to above question:
To be able to sideload the OTA I will:
1) download and extract the 5.0 factory image
2) fastboot flash boot boot.img
3) fastboot flash system system.img
4) adb sideload The5_0_1OTA.zip
Anyone can confirm this?
I know I will lose root again after following above steps.

Only time will tell if you can update whilst rooted
If you change any apps in system it's unlikely you will be able to
It doesn't change the recovery so you will still have stock recovery
There is an unroot feature in the supersu app but I don't know if this is enough to fully unroot
If all else fails you can always flash stock 4.4.4 and then update

How to get pass < Waiting for device>
How do you get past the <waiting for device> screen on a mac. I can't seem to overcome that part.
UPDATE:
I've since move on to using a PC instead of a Mac. But now I get:
booting...
FAILED <remote failure>
I also tried unlocking through the motorola website and it tells me I cannot unlock device. Is this normal?

You need to unlock your bootloader via the Motorola website before you can use this
Some models on certain carriers cannot be unlocked - see Motorola website for details on unlocking bootloader and if your device can be unlocked

Firmware images have not been released yet
I have a copy of the old ota from the first build (there have been 3 in total) - The difference as far as I can tell is kernel changes and probably better multitasking but its probably best you wait until Motorola pushes it out to everyone

Moto G2014 (xt1068): How can I get the new Android 6.0 update?

I have Moto G2014 which was rooted before Android 6.0 update came out. I can't get that OTA update with rooted device so I unrooted it (directly from the SuperSu app but bootloader is still unlocked). However I can download the update but failed to install it couple of times. What should I do to get the new update?
I really want Android 6.0
Any help will be appreciated.

You don't want Motorola's 6.0, it barely works , there's touch delay, no Doze, the audio channels are reversed, etc. Really half-assed.
You can try Cyanogenmod 13 , since you have an unlocked bootloader.

okay I didn't know about Marshmallow's lagging problem. But anyways do I have to reroot my phone to install Cyanogenmod 13?

boot to boot loader and type the following commands:-
mfastboot.exe oem lock ; you will need the Mfastboot, fastboot files ' motorola fastboot drivers [I guess you have all of them as you unlocked bootloader so, you are good to go]
that's it Bootloader is locked uninstall SUper SU you don't have Root and bootloader is locked you must get the update now.

to install CM 13 you need TWRP , CM , GAPPS , Bootloader unlocked.
Unlock bootloader
flash TWRP by these commands;
fastboot flash recovery Filename.img
then boot to TWRP
Wipe System,data,cache;
and then use Sideload and type the commands:
adb sideload CMfilename.zip
then;
adb sideload Gappsfilename.zip;
your device is TITAN right? so, here are the links of titan GApps and CM;
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=titan
http://opengapps.org/ [ choose preferences as arm,6.0,mini or micro]
that's it your ROm must boot us to get root access don't flash supersu enable developer options go to eveloper options then there must be an option like Root access select it and then the option of apps and adb.
Enjoy your CM MArshmallowy experience .

If you want 6.0 you shoud check out Cyanpop, you can find it here. The latest build ist really smooth, fast and stable, I am using it myself.

Are you using the correct twrp version and which superSu version you are flashing?

https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/help/honor-4x-che1-l04-mm-6-0-1-emui-4-root-t3475854. Follow the instruction in the given link and you'll be able to root successfully. Note that this works only on marshmallow android version(emui 4.0,4.1).

How to Root LG G6 H872 on Android Oreo

Hi everyone! I recently bought a LG G6 H872, which still has 10e installed. After crawling the forums for a bit, here's the sequence of things I wanted to do to it:
1.) Update to 8.0 Oreo via OTA.
2.) Unlock bootloader
3.) Root and TWRP using this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g6/how-to/root-h872-to-including-11g-t3775518
4.) Magisk
Is the latest Oreo update the 20a version that is mentioned in the thread or should I manually update it to something older. I saw that there was anti-rollback so I don't want to update too far. Also, if there is ever another OTA, how does one update the rooted phone?
Edit: I wrote up some steps if it helps you on this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77513501&postcount=4

I do not believe there is currently a way to root the T-Mobile versions.

That is not correct, see: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g6/how-to/root-h872-to-including-11g-t3775518

For future people who come across this thread, here are the steps I took to root this phone:
1.) Factory reset and then update device via OTA incrementally until 20a (which is Android Oreo 8.0)
2.) unlock bootloader: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpaW0-8-QKY
3.) root device: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g6/how-to/root-h872-to-including-11g-t3775518
Note: there is a video tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-z4CWLikPcI&t=821s. The first steps of flashing the laf partition are very useful to watch before attempting
4.) Factory reset in TWRP
5.) Reset after encryption error, then wipe with TWRP. May give mount error.
6.) Boot into Android Oreo. Device is not yet rooted at this point.
6.) Flash MAGISK via TWRP (SD card or ADB push) ]. Ignore the mount error. Reboot.
7.) Device is rooted! :good:

That's interesting
Without getting into an issue those steps look slightly different in order than the original process.
Or I'm a dumbass and somehow got it out of order. Seems ok now though.

Hello there!
I want to ask if it's the same to do the steps with 20e ?

Curious as well if this works with the latest update.

This is an already rooted version of the latest update. I've downloaded but haven't flashed it yet, but the op is good and I've never had an issue with his work.

I succeeded in completing the process.
Permanent unlock from Tom via app.
Unlocked bootloader.
Twrp installed to recovery, can boot to recovery via low volume/power button combo.
Magisk installed.
20a working nicely.
I'm getting requests from Tmo to update from 20a to 20d. Is this recommended? Will twrp, root, unlock, etc. be lost?

I am glad to see that the bootloader gets unlocked easily. @alliance1975 how did you go from Unlocked bootloader step to Twrp installed step? That is the big one I think.
There is a good TWRP available, but we can't install it because the phone lacks fastboot commands. Is there a way to install TWRP? Or is it really that the only method is the rather risky runningnak3d method?

I used the procedure summarized in step 3. I agree it is risky, well, the riskiest root & twrp I've ever tried. I neglected to say I only read instructions, the dev who actually came up with the plan deserves all the credit.

When I try to oem unlock nothing happens. What can I do? I have followed all other instructions.

Follow steps from this https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g6/how-to/unlock-bootloader-tmo-t3578099

Yeah I got my bootloader unlocked
