Hello all,

I tried the steps mentioned in this post to root my XT1563 (Wind, Canada). Of course I did not need to unlock the bootloader because I had already done that when I was on 5.1. When I unrooted, upgraded to 6.0, flashed recovery twrp-lux-2.8.7-r6 with fasboot command and everything went well. When I tried the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip and flashed that through TWRP, I ended up being stuck at Bootloader Warning.

I did some reading on other threats and thought maybe because I am on Marshmallow (6.0) then I have to use the latest BETA version of the SuperSu, BETA-SuperSU-v2.66-20160103015024.zip, Link: [WIP][2016.01.03] Android 6.0 Marshmallow [v2.66]. Which I did, after flashing with the XT1563_LUX_RETCA_6.0_MPD24.65-18_cid14_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC_V2.xml.zip ROM, later flashing custom recovery, twrp-lux-2.8.7-r6, but got stuck at Bootloader warning again after trying the Beta SuperSU 2.66. I tried different ways, like deleting cache/dalvik when flashing SuperSu (with both beta version and stable 2.46 version), kept the system, read-only, but every time I ended up being stuck at Bootloader warning.

Is there anything I am doing wrong? Is it not possible to root Moto X Play Canadian with the ROM mentioned?

The commands I used every time to flash the new ROM:

fastboot oem fb_mode_set

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase customize

fastboot erase clogo

fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

fastboot reboot​

I am using mac osx and every command did answer with OKAY.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Edit: I did root with the BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip as the original post instructed and it was a success.

Thank you.

Edit: Working fine after flashing stock ROM and rooting.
[X Play General] juliatan666:
Rooted with SuperSu 2.62-3. Camera working fine here with stock camera app, Camera Zoom Fx, A Better Camera and Open Camera.

But camera apps need permission. Also stock camera app asked for it on my MXP. If not asking automaticly go to settings, apps, 'camera app', permissions ->give permision
[X Play General] panart:
WARNING: Use SuperSU v2.62-3 with stock Marshmallow ROM, DO NOT flash v2.64, v2.65, v2.66 and v2.67. If you do flash any of those versions your phone won't boot, even if you flash v2.62-3 all system apps will FC, unrooting won't help and you will need to flash the stock ROM again. I've learned that the hard way as i forgot to make a TWRP backup.
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
The mentioned version does works fine.
[X Play General] ManikandanGuru:
Oh my god. Thanks for this suggestion. For three days I was worried and got irritated with that Super Su 2.67, It always stuck on Boot logo. I don't even know whats the problem is.

With 2.62.3 everything works perfectly fine. If anything found I will report it here.

One thing, SuperSu 2.67 supports for Lollipop as I downgraded to it and tested before this method. Many thanks to everyone here.

[X Play General] Hydroblu:
X Play Root with Adopted Memory

Will the root still function if I root stock 6.0 and then Use Adopted Memory feature with my 32GB external MicroSDCard? Have anyone tried it yet? Also it sucks that TWRP does not support Adopted Memory yet. Someone needs to work on that.

UPDATE: Adopted Memory Feature worked with root and xposed. But TWRP is not compatible. So when ever I want to flash something I need to Format my external SD as portable for that time.
[X Play General] AcMtyMx:
Thanks!

which causes updates off? ...bootloader or recovery?
[X Play General] Signum98:
Is it necessary to flash the twrp in order to install supersu?
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
no, but without twrp just keeping a rooted phone is a risk I guess.
[X Play General] tag68:
No. It is only necessary to boot it.

That means: fastboot boot instead of fastboot flash is sufficient and keeps ability to do OTA. But anytime you want to use the twrp eg for backup purposes, you always have to use usb cable, connection to computer and fastboot boot to start it.
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
when the phone is rooted, some system files are changed and upgrading through OTA isn't possible. Even though one can unroot, still complications can arise.

one question, if twrp is just booted, so we can just flash the super su?

never just booted it.
[X Play General] tag68:
It was my way from Lollipop to Marshmallow. Deactivate adaway, try update MM, fail, uninstall BusyBox (not sure if necessary), unroot, update MM. Works. Before lollipop root did not change system. So you could update without unroot.

Any modification on system has to be undone, of course. Edit build.prop. Some tools like LBE need to be configured not to autostart. Recovery needs to be original, like kernel, and probably XPosed framework will also prevent update. If update fails, I don't know if you can see somehow which check failed. But all that I did not do by now, it worked fine for me.
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
Rooting Marshmallow changes a bit more things I guess than it did in lollipop

SuperSU update offered through Google Play

Hi,

I've been running SuperSU 2.62 successfully for a couple of months now. As of this morning I'm being offered an update to version 2.65 through the Google Play store. Is it safe to upgrade?

If not, is there a way to remove the update notification for this one app? If I don't I might inadvertently update it when updating other apps if I choose 'update all' without thinking about what I'm doing.

Thanks.
[X Play General] yeeahnick:
Hello boys and girls!

I have just rooted my x play successfully! (wish I would have known that unlocking bootloader wipes your phone... aw welll).

My question is, now that I am fully rooted (stock rom) what happens if I do a FACTORY DATA RESET from the phone settings? Will it brick the phone? Will I lose root?

Thanks to who ever replies =)

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

read the post right above yours, answer is there =)
[X Play General] varunadi:
If you perform a factory reset, you will lose root permissions. However your bootloader will still be unlocked. You can flash SuperSU again, after the factory reset, to obtain root permissions. You won't brick the phone as long as you follow the instructions properly ;)
[X Play General] Diegouk:

I just flashed SuperSU 2.65 with TRWP, I rebooted it and the WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED-screen has been on for like 15 mins, is this normal? Should I wait more?

If you tell me to flash SuperSU 2.62-3 instead, do I have to do something else before I flash it in TRWP, maybe erase the old 2.65 somehow?
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
Did you take a backup?
[X Play General] rhimezz:
I you mean if I backuped my files then yes.

If my phone dosent, does it mean that its bricked? oh god :/
[X Play General] bablu048:
its not bricked, dont worry.

did you take a twrp nandraoid backup before flashing su ? if yes restore that.
[X Play General] rhimezz:
it booted now into android after I flashed with SuperSU 2.68, thanks for trying to help anyway :D
[X Play General] bablu048:
take a nandroid backup from twrp for any such future problems.
[X Play General] coolkingler1:
Would this work for the EU version? (so 1562XT)
[X Play General] coolkingler1:
So wait wait wait... I downloaded everything, made sure I was prepared, I am sitting in bootloader menu, but I read this many times: I can not install OTA updates after I root? -_- what the flying ****, this was never a problem with HTC phones.
[X Play General] tag68:
This has nothing to do with the manufacturer of the phone: Google changed Android in a way that system needs to be modified for root. So yes, you have to unroot in order to install OTA updates. (And of course be careful to revert what you modified but that was the same with earlier versions: not flash recovery, uninstall xposed, deactivate adaway, undo build.prop changes and bootlogo etc.)
[X Play General] coolkingler1:
I am really reluctant to do it now though... have to think about it. Can I still download an OTA and update that way?
[X Play General] tag68:
If you are using the OTA as the easy way and flashing stock ROM as the fallback, rooting will be fine. You do Nandroid Backup of your system. You do Titanium Backup of all apps. If anything fails you can revert to the state of the Nandroid Backup, and if that fails you install some stock ROM and restore the user apps from the Titanium Backup. Keep more than one Backup. One before rooting. One before OTA update. Keep it outside the phone (usb stick, hard drive of computer, whatever).

If you want to be sure it works updating OTA, don't root. It is easy to do some modification which prevents OTA to work, and it is not that easy to find out what to fix if it doesn't.

If you root: do not forget you should not flash twrp to make success of OTA more probable. Only boot it when needed. (fastboot boot twrp - not fastboot flash twrp - for every nandroid backup)
[X Play General] Lattesarebuff:

[X Play General] tag68:
Use SuperSU 2.62-3. Nothing else. See OP for link.
[X Play General] The Analog Kid:
Sorry, I'm not completely getting this that clear: why exactly should I go "fastboot boot TWRP" instead of "fastboot flash TWRP", I mean, what's the installation difference right in the device? It sounds to me like "flash" is permanent and "boot" isn't?... Then, is "fastboot boot" positively just in case you want to perform OTA someday?... And why is it suggested "for every nandroid backup?
[X Play General] tag68:
Stock recovery stays installed. TWRP is booted only once.

You also may flash TWRP, and flash a backup of your stock recovery (or take recovery from the right stock ROM) when you want to do OTA.

If you don't flash TWRP, you need to boot TWRP to do Nandroid. Stock recovery is not capable of doing Nandroid. But as you should not store backups on the device only, you usually want a connection to your computer anyway when doing a backup. So this should not be much of a disadvantage.

For me it is an advantage not to need a big list what I have done which prevents OTA. adaway deactivate, SuperSU unroot and OTA 5->6 worked. No check of squid, logo, recovery, build.prop needed if not modified.
[X Play General] poohst:
Quick question here: will this work on a 6.01 OTA install? The OP only mentions the 6.0 stock install. And yes, I will only flash using the 2.62 SuperSU. Thanks!

Edit:

One more question that came to mind: does rooting affect encryption? My device is currently unencrypted but I'm thinking of trying out Android's baked in encryption and how bad a performance/battery hit it is. I don't see how it would but please correct me if I'm uninformed.
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
The way of rooting remains same on 6.0.1

I think the encryption will hit performance as the device isn't made for such high usage who happens while encryption and decryption.

I tested and it works. You just have to type: ''echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu'' without quotes in TWRP terminal and then flash SuperSU. Same method works also with Moto G 3rd gen. :good:

So there is no need to use outdated SuperSU versions, just remember that line in terminal.
[X Play General] dallev79:
So I followed the steps. And my bootloader is unlocked and latest TWRP is working. Then I flashed SuperSU 2.46 and that only made my phone stuck at the "Unlocked bootloader Warning". Then I tried with SuperSu 2.62 and that makes my phone stuck at the motorola bootlogo. What to do?

One very important note, I forgot to make backup in TWRP before trying to flash SuperSU.

I can still get into recovery mode.

Thanks again and I have a Q if you care to answer- now when i make i nandroid, I can restore everything except system, which is not RW. This I understand is a part of the systemless root (flashed Super SU V 2.74) .
