Give. More. Details.
[X Play General] Dekztyr:
Yes. The problem is that you need to use at least SuperSU 2.62 if you're on Marshmallow. The guide that I was following came with an old version that was for Lollipop.

So you either need to flash the stock ROM and then flash SuperSU 2.62+, or just do what I did and install a custom ROM.

I used this one: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-play/development/rom-marshmallux-stock-based-rom-6-0-t3278040

Have SuperSu 2.62-3 on my MXP with MM 6.0. After a few days root stopped working for several apps (Gravity Screen's smart lock, some Power Toggles, EDS mounting). Fixed that by using SELinuxModeChanger from F-Droid appstore and setting SELinux to permissive.

Just for the record, I followed the instructions using Linux Mint 17.1 (based o Ubuntu 14.04) using the native fastboot command. Everything went well, but anyone who has permission errors or waiting for device message... run the commands as superuser using sudo. It seems there is a UDEV rule that can fix this, but I'm unlikely to be in there very often.

Another small detail for my fellow members of the stupid club: when the USB is connected, the bootloader-menu (volume key) options cycle up and down, but the select (power key) button does nothing. Just disconnect the USB! :)

Hi!

I have the following problem:

First: Unlocking bootloader --> was fine.

Then - Flashing TWRP-Recovery:

It didn't work immediately. I tried the "twrp-lux-2.8.7-v2.img" as recommended --> couldn't enter recovery. I tried "twrp-lux-3.0.0-r2.img" --> the same. I tried the "v2" again and I don't know why, but entering TWRP recovery suddenly worked. Great!

When I entered the recovery the first time my first action was making a backup. It was successful. After that, I wanted to reboot and now it shows the screen: "Warning Bootloader unlocked ...." and the phone stucks. It doesn't boot. I tried different things in TWRP (wiping, restoring my backup, ....), but no chance ... :(

Are there any hints for me? I don't know, what I can do ...

Thx!

Your phone will look and behave like it did when you first took it out of its box. Full factory reset. Even if you keep the stock rom. Even if you don't root the stock rom.

(IIRC, the contents of your SD card are safe. Don't rely on it! Be over-cautious!)

So I'm having a similar issue to the above posters, I had the phone stuck on the bootloader unlocked message. After reading through the thread I have since flashed beta v2.62-3 and it now moves past that but hangs at the moto boot logo.

Solved by installing 2.65 stable version.
[X Play General] Thad E Ginathom:
A question which reveals that I do not understand the underlying mechanisms...

I flashed the 2.62-3 SuperSU as part of this process and all went smoothly. Now I see update available on Playstore for the Supersu app. Does upgrading the app change what I flashed; will it break something? Or is the app merely a control and information layer thing?
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
You can update the app. It won't break anything.

For rooting Android>=6 you should use SuperSU 2.62-3, probably 2.68 also works fine. But I recommend to stay on the safe side. SuperSU 2.62-3 - no version before and no version after unless you know they are working stable..

K.khiladi, the OP gives the tutorial how to root and links to SuperSU 2.46. It should be corrected.
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
There's a different thread that specially mentions the use of 2.62-3. Always do a complete read of the forum man. It would really help you bypass the issues.

I don't why the OP isn't being corrected though.

Automated reply by JARVIS
[X Play General] tag68:
It is just a dangerous copy of an outdated guide found somewhere, until you are ready to maintain it. You should change some informations, and remark the changes against the original source:

1. SuperSU in versions other than 2.62-3 does not work on current Android Moto X Play. Please exchange link, and mention this circumstance in the guide. Many people enter this trap, mostly caused by your outdated guide!

2. Instead of 'fastboot flash recovery' one can avoid flashing recovery by using 'fastboot boot recovery'. Advantage: OTA updates get much easier. Disadvantage: every time you need the custom recovery, you need to repeat that step (connect usb, type 'fastboot boot xyz.img'). Helps also to find out if a new version is fine before flashing, without need to repair something if it isn't.

Just got the link for SuperSU by Google without testing. It looks like the one I remember having used when rooting, but without guarantee. Please check if it is fine.

Guides on xda usually get written and maintained in the OP. The purpose is that you do NOT need to read the complete thread/forum if you want to do something. That's what how-to and guide threads are for.
[X Play General] tag68:
Updating SuperSU from 2.62-3 to 2.65 seems to break Unroot. Currently I'm searching which backup to install while keeping my userdata to get the OTA to 6.0.1.

When testing the webserver of adaway - didn't work for me - my root disappeared. I needed to root again. Maybe this caused that on my device that unroot does not work. Can anyone try if "full unroot" of SuperSU does work fine? On my device it just gives a short message that it is not successful. Nearly immediate. Please have your SuperSU nearby when trying: if it succeeds you need to root again ;). Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply. No luck, SD not visible in TWRP file manager either. Maybe if I tried another ROM? Factory reset?? I'm at a loss
[X Play General] Thad E Ginathom:
Sorry it was a shot in the dark and I had a feeling it was the answer to the wrong question.

I just booted into recovery to see if TWRP file manager could see my SD card without selecting storage or mounting or doing anything else first. It can. Which doesn't help you I'm afraid.

TWRP version? That might mean something to those of deeper knowledge here.

Hello,

i got my X Play today and trying to root my phone. I already used fastboot before but i have a question:

When i use the command 'fastboot boot twrp.img' then twrp is starting only temporary. I can install or backup something. Thats fine...

What will happen if i use 'fastboot flash twrp.img'? Is then the recovery software on the phone permanently? What happens with the other data?

I already unlocked the bootloader with the key from motorola. But now i am asking myself if the temporary command 'fastboot boot' would have also worked without unlocking the bootloader.

thanks for your answers

[X Play General] K.khiladi:
When you flash the twrp, it becomes the permanent recovery of your phone while just booting it keeps it temporarily.

Also no you can't just boot twrp without unlocking the bootloader. Access to system is necessary and unlocked bootloader provides that.

But when i flashed the TWRP recovery permanently before, i wasn't able to make the android update from the phone. (after downloading it always boots into TWRP).

So i flashed the whole system with the files linked here in the forum (XT1562_LUX_RETASIA_DS_6.0.1_MPD24.107-52.xml). TWRP i always booted via fastboot from the PC. (i can live well with that)

Hi guys,

I tried following the steps as exact as I could. I thought I was doing well, but the last step didn't work :(

I was able to unlock bootloader and flashing twrp. Apparently, I had success running su as well, but when I rebooted my device, it got stuck in the "warning bootloader unlocked". Someone told I had the wrong su, so I downloaded another, flashed it and now I get past the warning, only to get stuck in the watery motorola logo.

When I go into recovery mode, I automatically enter into TWRP, I still can see my folders: kindle, pocket, whatsapp, etc.

What could I have done wrong? How can I solve it? I'm not very well versed in this topic and didn't do much research prior to try rooting, and this was mistake number 1 :(

I suppose the bootloader unlocking and the twrp flashing were good, so I suppose su is the problem? Maybe I'm wrong. I have tried restoring, doing factory reset, clearing both caches... didn't work.

Any comment would be much appreciated

Thanks in advance

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 PM ----------

wow this worked!

but something funny is this: when I run unSu and then flash 2.6.2 I still get stuck in the watery logo. If I just unSu, wipe caches, reboot.... it started and optimized apps etc...

I still think it's my wrong Su. I have a XT1563... is there any Su you'd think I should try?

[X Play General] fsae3:
Made it! :laugh:

So for anyone who may struggle the same way I did:

-regular bootloader unlocking

-regular recovery flashing (twrp)

-before flashing supersu, nandroid and MAKE SURE YOU ENABLE DEVELOPER MODE (OEM UNLOCKING AND USB DEBUGGING) AFTER YOUR BOOTLOADER UNLOCKS, SINCE IT WILL FACTORY RESET YOUR DEVICE

-XT1563 proceeded with supersu 2.63-2

-Succesfull rooting
