Thanks for answering, let me see if I understand, first of all I will unlock bootloader, after that install custom recovery and then install supersu, as the guide says, and finally install cyanogen. TWRP 3.0 is ok for this procedure or I should install a previuos version? Thanks.
[Moto E General] drs22:
It is ok

Sent from my Moto E
[Moto E General] giaur:
Not really. Unlock bootloader, install twrp, boot twrp, wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache and finally install cm and gapps.

Important: boot into twrp just after installing it, dont boot into system. Twrp version does not really matter, if you have version 3 for your device, you can try it.

how to unlock on Cricket variant

Like several others here I have the Cricket variant of the XT1021. When requesting the unlock code on Motorola site, it just says that this phone is not eligible. Is there ANY workaround? All I really want is root so I can uninstall system crap apps etc. Help?
[Moto E General] giaur:
I'm afraid there is no solution. Better sell it and buy another one, possible to unlock.

Unfortunately Setting stopped working

I did this and after booting up I am getting this error "unfortunately setting stopped working" I am not able to get past it. What do I do? Do I need to reinstall Rom on my moto E? I am a noob so please guide me.. I know this device is outdated.. I want to use it as emergency phone when my primary phone has some issues. Thanks
[Moto E General] brace_condor:
You got TWRP? If yes did you take a backup?
[Moto E General] Ayeitsashish:
Hey, I just installed stock ROM on my moto E and now it is working fine.. No more that annoying "setting has stopped" popup..Now I wish to Root my phone so that I could create some space to install some useful apps..should I follow the method given in this thread now?
[Moto E General] giaur:
Actually, I suggest to drop stock rom and install Cyanogemod13 nightly. It's already rooted, there is no bloatware and always latest Android build. Don't waste your time with stock rom, really. Just flash twrp, then CM13 + gapps and that's all.
[Moto E General] brace_condor:
Get TWRP. Take Backup of everything (check all the options). Get the custom ROM image. Get the GAPPS from opengapps.org. Go to recovery. Install ROM. Don't reboot now. Install GAPPS. Reboot. This has worked fine while installing CM13 on my moto e condor
[Moto E General] Ayeitsashish:
Is their any thread to guide me through this process ?
[Moto E General] giaur:
You can start here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2753110 first unlock bootloader, then flash twrp. The rest is easy, jus put cyangenmod an gapps zips to sdcard, wipe all partitions with twrp, then install rom and gapps, using twrp of course.

Moto E root

Hi Team,

I have bootloader unlocked on my Moto E condor, will my phone get root if I just flash SuperSu through TWRP ?
[Moto E General] Shaikh Arbaaz:
Yes just flash super su you'll be rooted:)
[Moto E General] shyam-mhatre:
I really appreciate for your quick reply and thanks for the same ! Actually I tried to go into recovery mode by pressing power + vol. down key and then in recovery but it did not give me any option to flash Super-SU but shown me " No command ". Is this because no recovery is avail to flash the same ? I am on Stock Optimized Version ! And how do I do that !!! Is there any APK to ROOT Moto E condor !!

Sorry for so many questions but I had it in my mind so thought of asking you !!

Also , I want to keep the stock recovery. kindly post step by step instructions to get root access in this case for moto e XT1022 . !!

Thanks in advance
[Moto E General] Ujwal Agrawal:
No need of copying super su file to root directory.

Put SuperSU file in sd card or internal doesn't matter.

Flash TWRP. Now go to recovery->install ->now select SuperSU and flash it.
[Moto E General] kmr_ndrsh:
Thanks Ujwal, btw I wanted to ask that I was rooting my phone so that i am able to uninstall some default apps that are not of any use. Is rooting only solution to get rid off unwanted default apps ? And also will the interface change after twrp flash?
[Moto E General] Ujwal Agrawal:
Yes, rooting is only method to uninstall system apps.TWRP is not going to change ur interface. Rooting will only make u able to uninstall some system apps and not Google apps. If u uninstall Google apps system will goto bootloop. It's better to install a custom ROM to have almost clean OS.
[Moto E General] kmr_ndrsh:
I was going to uninstall google play books, google play movies, google play books, talkback etc..as I never use them
[Moto E General] Ujwal Agrawal:
Actually no one uses them. U shud consider a custom ROM for clean os. If u like lollipop I would suggest u to go with paranoid Android or there many ROMs available.
[Moto E General] kmr_ndrsh:
I tried to flash, getting this error.

Attached is the image.
[Moto E General] _sushan_:
Not sure about windows but in Linux '-' is a special character and u need escape character for that.

[Moto E General] kmr_ndrsh:
I have placed the twrp image in same folder, not sure what is wrong then.
[Moto E General] Ujwal Agrawal:
Try replacing ur recovery.

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[Moto E General] _sushan_:
You should try flashing twrp instead of booting into one temporarily since you are thinking of flashing a custom rom. It will be easier this way.

Use the command mentioned by Ujwal Agrawal

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Just an fyi the recovery.img is the file name of recovery that you are flashing. Edit it accordingly.

Also try to flash latest recovery. For condor its 3.x.x. You can find in development section.

One of the great things of twrp recovery is it can used to flash new recovery also so you dont have to use a pc again.

Hope this helps. :good:

I've got a Motorola Moto E2 running stock Android 5.1 that I'd like to root, but the fastboot zip in the rooting instructions appears to be corrupted or something. Everytime I try to open and extract it, I get the error "cannot open file as an archive." I've tried opening it with 7zip and Windows Explorer. Is there another place I can download it from? Do I need to open it with a specific Archive Manager?

Waiting for device

When i enter the last code on your tutorial i get waiting for device and its stuck der itself, What to do now?
[Moto E General] shimp208:
I am guessing your referring the to the step that has the command "fastboot boot recovery-twrp.img". Make sure your device is booted into the bootloader so the fastboot command can be run. If your device is not in the bootloader or you don't have the Motorola USB drivers installed (Which you will have installed in order to get the data to unlock the bootloader) fastboot will return the "waiting for device" message. Let me know if you still have questions.
[Moto E General] sasaboor64:
I have moto drivers installed on pc(win 7) and yes I'm in boot loader but it says <waiting for device>,another info I have unlocked the boot loader without issues

Also what do you see when you write

check that you have a file named in recovery-twrp.img in the same folder where fastboot is
[Moto E General] sasaboor64:
Yes dude I have recovery-twrp.IMG where mfastboot is there
[Moto E General] ViKtory36:
I would like to clarify a few things in OP. People who have troubles getting root on their phones can follow my instructions in this post.

To enter fastboot mode if anyone is struggling with it, it doesn't matter how long you hold the buttons, but in which order you press the buttons. To enter fastboot you need to first press powerbutton, vol down, remove finger from power button and remove finger from voldown. You will then see the fastboot screen. (tested on xt1022 op may still be applicable for other versions).

Secondly, if you would like to permanently flash the recovery (if the commands in op just keeps rebooting your phone or never opens up the recovery and just reboots your phone), then do the following-

-Go into fastboot mode

-Open the cmd box inside the folder as OP has instructed

-Connect the phone to the pc

-Type the following and hit enter:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-twrp.img

-Once that finishes, type the following and hit enter

fastboot reboot

-Your phone will restart. You can remove the wire now.

-Shut the phone down, and go into fastboot mode again.

-Press volume down to select "recovery", then press volume up to go into recovery mode.

-It will show teamwin's logo. Dont touch the phone and wait for a minute and the screen will go blank. Press power button, swipe to unlock.

-Follow OP's instructions from here on.

OP's commands didn't work for me for some reason. (I believe it's because I used Minimal ADB and Fastboot.)

Also, thank you OP for the guide. Also I hope I helped :)
[Moto E General] deej_roamer:

Not rooted?!

I followed all the steps despite not understanding how simply installing SuperSU via TWRP recovery would just magically root the phone.

I flashed the recommended CM ROM although the associated GAPPS flash then failed.

Phone boots into new ROM but it is not rooted! How is that even possible?!

SuperSU won't load, but the included file manager app reports it does not have root access (before crashing).

Nothing much else works and the phone spontaneously reboots.

The phone was next to useless (after official Motorola update to Android 5 used up all internal storage) so all I've lost so far is a load of time - why didn't I just drop the phone in the nearest bin instead!

All searches lead to the method detailed here - nothing out there seems to give a solution to my situation.
