[Q] XT1053 Need help with Root

I have the dev edition of the moto x 2013. I've unlocked the bootloader successfully. I flashed the Recovery img with this command
Code:
mfastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-ghost.img
and flashed the SuperSU.zip (UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40) through the Recovery successfully. But when I checked to see if it was rooted with Root Checker Basic, it said the Device wasn't.
I'm sure that I've done all the steps right in this guide Guide on "Rooting Unlocked Bootloader". Please Help
PS: I'm new to all this rooting and stuff. Sorry if there is a post out there that covers this. I couldn't find any posts that say this guide didn't work.

Did you download SuperSU from the play store? ?

Here is a video guide also... To see if you missed anything,

Thanks for the video guide! I'll check into it later, as it is kind of late here...
No I did not install SuperSU from the play store. I got it from the link the guide provided me. and sorry I can't post a url since i'm new to this forum

You still at need to install SuperSU. You've flashed the binaries in recovery, but need the app if it isn't in your app drawer.
---------- Post added at 12:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 AM ----------
If it is in your app drawer already, open it... See what it says.

Okay. I installed it, updated the binaries, and it flashed for me... It works now. I see why the app is needed. Thank you!!!!
Eh, Quick question, does it matter what android version i need to do a nandroid backup and is it easy?

Android version is irrelevant to make a backup. Yes it's easy... Just go to backup in your recovery, click.... Done. ?

SuperSU Binary Update Failed!

I have a Nexus 6, Marshmallow (Build MMB29K). I rooted it using the NRT which installed SuperSU version v2.46. Apparently from the NRT dialogs, the last step of rooting is configuring SuperSU properly.
I get a message that I must update to the latest binaries; but every attempt fails.
I am new at this. Can someone please help?

stop using toolkits, do it the freaking right way. its MUCH easier the right way. use google, search for the latest supersu, download it, flash it in twrp recovery, then reboot. btw, the toolkits version is VERY old. and you trust the toolkit?

I THINK the problem was that TWRP asked if I wanted to install ITS version of SuperSU. I wasn't supposed to allow that; but I did.
EDIT: When I'm nervous, I tend not to read everything carefully.

I'm sure that's what happened. I thought it was weird that I had to "swipe to install" twice.

another thing, im thinking you should have been using su zip 2.52 also, not 2.4whatever. i could be mistaken, but i always use 2.5*.

i just noticed simms linked you to 2.65, i wouldnt recommend you use that unless you need it, its systemless and still working out the kinks.

Looking back on my NRT logs, it DID install 2.64. But as I said, during the TWRP recovery I nervously allowed it to do everything it asked of me. That included installing its own version of SuperSU, which must have immediately overwritten NRT's version.

actually it more likely made some sort of conflict. 2.64 installs in the kernel, twrp put it in the system, but in all the years i have had a smart phone, i have never used twrps root once.

im sorry for sounding/being so rough on you.. really i am. but stuff like flashing supersu is part of the most very basic knowledge needed. and i mean very basic. i was just trying to get that point across. im normally an extremely nice person :angel:

twrps root, never. its always a very old version, so stay away :good:

Hi
i recently had this problem and overcome it by doing the following
open up settings > click on applications > Application Manager > scroll across to all > scroll down to Supersu and click it (should come up with application info) > click remove installed updates
once that is completed i rebooted (may not be need but better to be safe) the opened up supersu again, and installed the binary with the normal procedure and all updated ok
this was done on my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge running 3.10.61-S6_UniBase_BOG8_v2, Android Version 5.1.1
i hope this helps someone

ASUS Z00TD update WW_user_1.17.40.1531_20160427 ota is out.

got the ota today on my phone. is it Marshmellow?

Got it earlier this week.
No, it is not Marshmallow. Marshmallow should be version 6.

Was this question rhetorical? The details are listed in the release notes.

There's some radio related firmware in there for anyone interested. Sometimes that's helpful for people with radio issues.

It'd be nice if there was a method to upgrade modem firmware without needing the entire update.zip. That was certainly always a pro with Samsung devices. Odin was nice but Chainfire's Mobile Odin was noice.

Hello, looking for help.
My daughters Ze551kl had an ota update error resulting in a true cyclic bootloop from asus bootup screen to op system which reboots in about 1 second after flashing the op system background.
I cant unlock the bootlock. No operating system access.
I tried to restore with adb sideload and i get response on a pc and the phone that it installs ok, but the bootloop remains. I put 1531 on via adb and i did get the correct files from asus. I have done this several times. No change.
I can't flash because the bootloader is locked and i cant find an adb bootloader level unlock. Does this exist?
What do you folks recommend?
I cannot install twrp or do flashing of recovery. I can get to fastboot and the recovery options. I have cleared the cashes.
Thanks for any advice.
---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 AM ----------
Hello, almost forgot, do i need to unlock the bootloader?
If the abd transfer has worked and installed the new version, but the bootloop remains, what else can be done? Is this a partition or hardware problem that showed itself during the update process?

You may have bricked it. Personally, I'd send it to Asus, if it's still in warranty, and let them fixit.

Root ZE550KL with no pc.

Hey guys! I have an Asus Zenfone 2 laser ZE550KL, and I'd like to root it. I tried to root it following this guide:
https://devs-lab.com/root-asus-zenfone-2-laserze550kl.html , because I didn't want to wipe all my data. Unfortunately it didn't work (at least my phone is still alive), and I honestly got angry because I unlocked my bootloader, losing my warranty, and I can't even root my phone without deleting all my data. Can you please, guys, try to do something to make rooting this phone, way more easier and faster? Thank you and have a good day.

Why dont you transfer all of your data to an sd card? And I don't know if rooting the phone without pc is a thing yet..? You could also try doing a backup of your settings and stuff on a sd card, do the root, fetch the backup from the card and execute it. It sould work with some apps from the playstore that don't need root, atleast I think.

Some people use framaroot, kingroot or One Click Root and trust me... It's totally easier and faster than the adb thing...

There, you can backup files, contacts, messages, apps and all sorts of things on a sd card or maybe if you have a Google account on the Google Drive, root the phone and restore the backup

You should update your phone to MM and go to the Asus's support page there is a .apk for the bootloader, that application will unlock the bootloader, and you're good to go with rooting and furthermore modifying your phone. But first unlock the bootloader, otherwise you will brick your phone. Trust me official bootloader unloocker works fine.

Phone based rooting tools are unreliable as they rely on exploits that may or may not work depending on various factors

And I recommend you to update your phone to the latest firmware, MM, and do that on your phone in System Update app. After that unlock the bootloader, you can find the official apk on Asus support site for z00ed. Just fire up the application and go trough all steps, your phone should reboot. Don't worry, this wont hurt your phone, if you do it the way I wrote it. I'll post the link to the unlock app here later. After that you just go with the adb root method, I'll post the link to that topic here also. Nothing to be afraid of.

How did you made it?

Nothing different as with Android P,
1. boot unlocked
2. installed twrp with odin.
3.Instantly restart in twrp after installing.
4. install magisk
works normal

Hi,
i cannot get my phone to reboot once twrp is installed.
Got any clue?
Thanks

Is there any procedure that properly roots Android 10 stable without leading to an infinite bootloop?

I am able to root but biometric stopped working.
Not sure how to fix that

Right, install twrp through odin, make sure you boot straight into twrp from download mode. Then wipe date and reboot recovery not the system. Then flash the multi disable zip from the download link. Then flash magisk and reboot. All done
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TBp5hIrzIljYvOquI1H9L78YFtskxMDn/view?usp=drivesdk

So what if I already have twrp on my android 9 ,but now I wanna flash android 10

You got me there bud, My advice would to try a dirty flash to android 10 with Odin, but chances are you may need to flash twrp again not to sure.

Thanks, so what would I need to install twrp on my android 10(s9)

Just follow the instructions above with the link you need to flash that file after you flash twrp to stop the boot loop. Obviously you need Odin to flash twrp

Hi there does this work also for Andriod 10 latest UI2 on S9 ? Looking to root my S9 as well . Got it yesterday updated to the latest software . Tried to use it without root but too many apps that I use depends on it . Thanks

You can do this as long as Indian firmware also labels as G960F. I am on Philippines and I'm using firmware from United Arab Emirates.
