Hmm but the risk factor makes me think

I have rooted galaxy y s5360 and installed custom ROM on it but I was one of the most tested devices in history of rooting so I had no problems but on MotoE I also want to get ota updates in future and I think this hasn't been that tested yet

weird..but worked

I know this sounds weird...but this totally worked.. i have no idea why, just booted to safe mode and then back to normal mode, then the first time camera still failed, but second time it starts up perfectly.

And no, i did not set SE linux to permissive.

stuck on XT1511

when i try to flash this twrp on my xt1511, i get the message "image size exceeded partition limits" and then the flash fails.

is this not for my device? the twrp file on their site doesnt quite work either. when i flash that one it is successful, but then the phone wont reboot into recovery. it says "boot up failed" and remains in fastboot... :(:(:confused:
[E 2015 General] squid2:
XT1511 is otus, not surnia. You need this recovery for your model.
[E 2015 General] fire3element:
So as has probably been discovered and discussed already, KingRoot will temp root the Verizon variant XT1528.

WORD OF CAUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you temp root too many times, it WILL throw the QE flag in the bootloader. You will end up with a QE 1/1

Best I can tell, the QE flag is tripped when KingRoot runs and attempts to reboot during the rooting process. KingRoot will usually gain temp root without rebooting. Not sure what makes it stop and reboot the other times. Seems random?

The first Moto E I had rooted somewhere in the realm of 50+ times before it tripped.

And it tripped after I tried lots of mods and used 2 different PC rooting apps. The 2nd Moto E tripped after around 20 tries just using the KingRoot app, with nothing else done to the phone.

So needless to say, BE CAREFUL.

Now.... I am not nearly as adept in modding as many here, but I am still going to try to help.

I was able to pull all partitions while temp rooted. Actually, I had to temp root several times to get all of them since the temp root can disappear at any time.

My advice, dont temp root more than 3 times between factory resets. 5 would probably be safe, but I would not chance it.

What else can I do at this point to move this along? If there is a system file that will not get replaced after a reboot, that we could use to regain root, we can get perm root.

Hi all,

[E 2015 General] m0ckingbird:
Total noob here, so forgive any of my misuse of words and terms.

I successfully rooted XT1527 LTE 4G, 5.1 OS, purchased from Consumer Cellular (though TMobile is the network coverage), SuperSU Free v.2.46, using the links provided from xda:

http://xdaforums.com/moto-e-2015#root

http://xdaforums.com/moto-e-2015/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-moto-e-2015-t3045748 (to unlock bootloader)

http://xdaforums.com/moto-e-2015/orig-development/twrp-moto-e-2015-recovery-t3049726 (for the recovery)

I wasn't sure if it would work on 5.1, but lacking other options, I decided to give it a try. I have not flashed a ROM or kernel or anything else yet. I just needed to root in order to use auto-airplane and auto-reboot apps for a research project (which I've since downloaded; they are working exactly as desired -- woohoo!).

I had zero issues with the camera after rooting, so did not need to flash anything to fix the camera.

Thanks for what you do, XDA folks!

What is the risk of throwing the QE flag?

Its the manufacture warranty flag. Tells Motorola if the device has been tampered with.

There will most likely never be a way to reset it either. Tread lightly...

You can see your QE status when booted into recovery. It will show at the bottom of the screen.

Is it possible to get OTA updates with a rooted stock rom? (5.0.2 on XT1524) I also flashed TWRP.
[E 2015 General] SkOrPn:
Hello, the OP doesnt mention which MOTO E devices this root method works with. My brother has the brand new 2015 MOTO E LTE (XT1527)(2nd Generation MOTO E) direct from Consumer Cellular. It looks to be pure Android 5.1 (AOSP) as I only see one app called ConsumerCellular. The rest of the apps installed all look like stock Google apps. However, he does not want data apps such as Hangouts or Chrome. He just wants Gmail, Messaging and the actual phone service only... I never setup a Smartphone like that as it was meant for data. He got a 150mb data plan with 1500 sms included. I set the data limit to turn off at 150mb though, so will that be good enough to protect him from any unwanted overage costs?

Should I still try removing apps he wont use, and thus need rooting?
[E 2015 General] jahrule:
Go to app details and disable the app. https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/3123922?hl=en
[E 2015 General] SkOrPn:
Thanks for the tip. However, he changed his mind today and purchased a much larger data plan after burning through 150mb of data in 2 days, lol.

[E 2015 General] jahrule:
Does it support the same bands? Because if so I need to buy one of those. To answer your question the surnia twrp image should work for your phone as well

Been looking through the thread but haven't found the answer im looking for (likely because im just skimming for the number and not the word) but...

If so, are there any problems i should be aware of? (aside from the camera one, im guessing.)
[E 2015 General] brotherswing:
The reason you didn't see it is it isn't here. Unfortunately the XT1528 is unrootable thanks to Verizon. Users do you and I need to wait for another exploit to be discovered.

[E 2015 General] TheDerekHarper:

[E 2015 General] brotherswing:
I've tried all of them, but perhaps I missed one. It's worthwhile for you to give it a try, you can't hurt anything. I had no luck because all the apps I tried rely on exploits (like the camera) that have all been patched in 5.1. That's why the Surnia root guide is based on flashing SU, currently there is no other way to root (that I know of.)

I'm on EU version surnia 4g LTE XT1524 Android 5.0.2, bootloader unlocked, installed twrp without problems. When trying to let twrp install SuperSU, it just shuts off after half a second.

My câmera is broken too, i tried squid kernel but no sucess for me, got bootloop.
[E 2015 General] Insaniac:
With 5.1 there is no more broken camera problems. If you've got xt1524, you can follow this to upgrade to 5.1 and then flash the cybojenix twrp, and the camera will still work: link 1

If the links to the files don't work, find them in this folder: link2

After upgrading to 5.1, twrp by cybojenix works perfect with my xt1524, no broken camera. Didn't check the time zone, nor do I really care about it.

Happy flashing.

Thank you very much, cybojenix!

Edit: stupid rules don't allow me to post outside links. For the first link google "protip want 5.1.1 on xt1524" , it's on reddit. The second link is a mega.nz folder, google "stock firmwares surnia otus", and I'm sure you'll find it.

I got the camera working

Hi all. I managed to get the camera working, always. I was getting That same nasty message as the rest of you.

I digged in the catlog and noticed that, when trying to open the camera , from any app, i got a message that Android was trying to open '/dev', instead of '/dev/video'. And because /dev is a directory (duh) it failed.

I couldn't find exactly which part of Androidreferences the devices. I know a lot of linux, but not a lot of Android (specially Android dark magic).

Anyway, when I rooted my phone the first thing I did was install link2sd and freeze whatever i could. I'm guessing that's what everybody here did. So I unfreezed all the apps, rebooted and The camera stared working again.

I didn't replaced the kernel and i got supersu 2.67 (beta, at this moment) before unfreezing things. And since I rooted to get rid of unused stuff, I started to freeze and reboot till i got the camera working fine. The ones that did the trick for me are MotoSignatureApp (which I guess has the signatures for hw and codecs) and MotoDisplay_glimpse (can't really know why this one)

I hope this helps

After that I tried to go back into recovery and tried to flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip but nothing, when I restart the system yet the black screen, then I tried to do a factory reset (via wipe factory reset) and another reset (complete wipe including internal storage) but the result does not change.

Impossible to root 6.0?

Good afternoon.

I've stumbled upon a problem which makes me think that it's impossible to root with the stock Android 6.0 now that it has been realeased. Or, at least, the guide is no longer valid.

After booting to TWRP and flashing SuperSU y experience a bootloop. Even clearing Dalvik Caché, /data and regular Caché does not solve this problem.

Could it be the version of SuperSu? I was using the latest stable 2.65 version.

If anyone managed to succesfully flash Supersu on a stock Moto e with Android 6.0, please let me know.
