Complaints to ishan_rulz please. Search the thread for "dangerous" for more details.

But: In the meantime we know that SuperSU 2.62-3 is not the best way to go. A current SuperSU 2.74 with configuration for systemless would be better. If only someone would maintain this guide ... I'm not willing to give another correction which also does not get used to fix the guide.

[X Play General] Tom.K:
Use mFastboot instead: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9qC3vvamytkSVp0NXhlSEhZVFU/edit

After flashing, go to recovery mode where it should boot TWRP.

Do not boot back to OS, because that will revert recovery to stock at the moment.

Make sure to disable option to mount /system as read-only so that TWRP can stay in recovery instead of stock ROM overwriting stock recovery back.

After that, TWRP should stay on.

Power + volume down takes you to bootloader, that's normal. You have to find recovery mode there and boot it
[X Play General] knrast:
Yes, I am aware of that thanks. It goes to the typical android recovery screen not the twrp screen.
[X Play General] minimale_ldz:
You DO reboot bootloader after flashing TWRP? Or do you just do normal reboot?
[X Play General] knrast:
As I said I am following the tutorial, and have done as the tutorial says.

That is what I do.

Note, this reboots and loads the phone normally, so I do need to power it off again, and turn it back on again in fastboot mode by holding the vol down while powering it up.

So then when I go to "Recovery", just shows the default android recovery

!Edit - I have fixed the problem and found the solution

The ONLY way I was finally able to boot into the TWRP recovery mode was, after flashing twrp I DO NOT reboot my phone. And then just immediately select recovery on my phone. Seems that by rebooting my phone it is erasing the recovery I just flashed to it? Strange

!Edit - After installing SuperSU and rebooting, my phone is stuck on the Motorola screen that appears everytime I power up my phone since I unlocked the bootloader "Warning bootloader unlocked" It just sits on this screen and my phone wont turn on :crying::crying:
[X Play General] tag68:
Did you use SuperSU 2.62-3? If not, did you configure it to use systemless by entering some echo-line in TWRP?

For Motorola devices current SuperSU afaik does not recognize that it can't use system mode. The version 2.62-3 is always using systemless, that's why it does not need that configuration.

Edit: Did you already read in the thread that this guide is outdated in a dangerous way? Ishan_rulz left a broken guide and seems not to read the thread ... especially the links are only valid until max. Lollipop.
[X Play General] knrast:
Again, I followed the tutorial.

So I just clicked on the download link provided here on this post

Which leads to: "Download

UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip"

I just flashed a different ROM Radium 1.4, and my phone is working with that.

So all good. The owner of this post should update their instructions, if the link they are providing to download SuperSU is directing people to download the wrong version.

Thanks for your attention though
[X Play General] minimale_ldz:
That's actually normal behaviour. Android has that "security feature" to overwrite recovery partition on boot if it's not original. I'm glad you managed to find a workaround yourself.

[X Play General] knrast:
What have you tried so far? Be more specific. I had the same issue and was only able to get twrp to work by going into recovery directly after flashing, without resetting my phone (which is the opposite of what the tutorial tells you to do)

[X Play General] tag68:
If you followed the guide in the OP of this thread, you have a recovery and SuperSU which is very old. It is outdated and therefore does not work at least for Marshmallow and probably is dangerous. Don't use this guide.

For your problem: After flashing recovery, it may help not to let the phone boot normally, but go to recovery immediately. My recommendation is not to flash recovery. Use fastboot boot instead of fastboot flash, and it will be started once.

I am using 6.0.1 with sys ver. 24.61.52.lux_retasia_ds.retasiall.en.03 retfr

Is this root method suitable for my phone?
[X Play General] jerry0476:
MOTO X PLAY XT1562 rooted successfully

This method helped me to root my moto but super su won't work on android 6.0.1 unless you flash it as systemless.

I'm not a dev , but after going through this thread i decide to share my rooting experience. I unlocked and installed TWRP and restarted device as mentioned in the post but when i tried to flash super su, there was no recovery at all ( fortunately phone doesn't brick). solution was boot into recovery after flashing twrp. After flashing super SU i stuck with unlocked boot loader warning (bootloop). So i googled for solution and rooted my moto x play xt1562 successfully with the following steps on 30 Aug 2016 on Andorid 6.0.1 .

1, Follow all the steps described in the thread to unlock your boot loader

2, Install TWRP latest version and restart your device in to recovery (never restart your device using command as mentioned in this thread, do it manually to recovery) And never choose read only when twrp prompted, if you choose read only android will erase your recovery next time you reboot. neither you can restore your back up from twrp if you decide to restore.

3, Final step Root your phone with Super Su 2.62-3

Make sure you downloaded Version 2.62-3 i tried latest version but it doesn't work for me.

Go to terminal in TWRP - Advanced-Terminal type ( echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu )

and flash super su and restart your phone. hope fully your phone will be rooted with super su now.

its my experience and i rooted my phone to try Android N ify only. and its working fine now. If you are not sure why you want to root its better not to root

Cheers

[X Play General] tag68:
In my opinion it is the better way to just to use "fastboot boot" for starting TWRP instead of "fastboot flash" to install it as recovery. Of course you need to do this every time you want to use TWRP, but you don't need to restore original recovery for OTA and have no hassle with read only, immediate start after reboot etc. You usually will want to transfer the nandroid backup to your computer anyway. And if something is wrong with the TWRP you chose, you just can reboot.

The SuperSU 2.62-3 is a version which defaults to systemless. If you use 2.62-3, you don't need that line. And once device is rooted, SuperSU keeps the method of rooting on update. Did you use that systemless echo line for latest version? This should have worked. Was that 2.76 (stable) you tested or 2.77 (beta)?

Thank you for sharing your experience! Maybe someone could convince ishan_rulz to read his thread and take appropriate action ... don't want to know how many bootloops were caused by this outdated guide.
[X Play General] jerry0476:
is it XT1562 or XT1563 ? it will work for XT1562 but you have to use different super su version to avoid bootloop, see my experience below your post .
[X Play General] lph1117:
It is 1562.

So, I can just follow yours step?
[X Play General] jerry0476:
Hopefully you can, but never blame me if anything went wrong. Make sure to backup right after you boot into twrp, before flashing super su. So you can restore your moto even if it got a boot loop. All the best :good: let us your rooting experience with Moto.

Cheers

[X Play General] gr8techie:
Hello guys,

I used this guide to unlock and then root my MXP (XT1562 DS) and most of the guide is OK except for the root flashing part. DO NOT USE the SuperSU package linked here. This will not work on MM 6.0.1. For Marshmallow, please use the SuperSU package 2.62-3 only. This is tested and successfully roots your phone.

I was stuck on the bootloader when i used the package linked here (v2.46) and tried a lot of packages: 2.65, 2.78 (latest) but all of them failed.

Be careful. I ended up flashing the stock firmware again to get my phone working and then finally rooted it using SuperSU v2.62-3.

Hope this helps those who got stuck on the bootloader screen.

Cheers!
[X Play General] tag68:
No it won't help. Search for 2.62-3 in this thread and you will see, if you've read the thread, the problem could be avoided. You could have a look at any page of the second part of the thread I guess, and it would have prevented your problem.

It is ok to read a guide and it should be sufficient to use the OP. But if you write in a thread, you should read the last second pages and/or search for the things you want to write.

Please have a look in the post before yours to see what would help people like you. It is not helpful to write the 50th version of the solution which 49 people before you wrote, as the 51st won't read your post and write the same like you ...

Edit: Did you try that ECHO SYSTEMLESS line? Didn't that help for versions > 2.63, especially for current SuperSU?

SuperSU Version 2.62-3 defaults to systemless. But if there is a previous installation, it probably takes the settings. So you need to remove supersu before installing a systemless version. There exists some unsu (iirc .zip for flashing) which may help uninstalling. Full uninstall SuperSU is known to be broken.
