Regarding Mobile network drop

When I tried rooting with SuperSU, it broke Wi-Fi and mobile network.[/QUOTE]

Well I also faced somewhat a similar issue on all Nougat based custom ROMs ( both CM based as well as AOSP based).Then later I reverted back to MM based ROMs and still faced this issue.

I ain't had a backup of the stock ROM so haven't tried with stock again !

p.S. I didnt face any such issues on STOCK UNROOTED ROM of both N and MM.

Thanks for thhis Superuser app tip !!

Will try it soon and report back asap

Worked perfectly on XT1643. Can anyone help me with how to unroot?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] guessingagain:
You can flash stock boot.IMG and unroot or try using SuperSU app full unroot as well.

Normally flashing flashing stock boot.img is all that is needed to unroot systemless root.

root moto g 4 plus 7.0

MOST IMPORTANT NOTES -

big thanks for this . it's working fine with me .

some important tips

1 keep drivers of pc updated

2 Don't worry if you get error after flashing TWRP

That file is corrupt . ignore this error and go ahead

MOST IMPORTANT , don't install SUPERSU .

USE Phh super user from play store . I made this mistake 2 times

How to root using superSU 2.79 sr3 and is it working with latest official ROM 25.93-14 can you please explain...
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] shkrmkr:
Not sure how he did it but later I'm going to try:

1) Install TWRP via boot loader mode

2) Boot into TWRP

3) Flash new ElementalX 7.0 kernel

4) Flash superSU 2.79 sr3

5) Reboot and install phh's SuperUser app from play store.

Hopefully that does the trick. I'm on XT1644 25.93-14. From what I'm gathering, the official kernel is what is preventing permanent root. Now that Elemental has a stock nougat kernel, that substitution should theoretically allow permanent root. I'll post results when I attempt to do this later today.

By the way, this link is on the top of the OP.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] 1chrome:
Download ElementalX Kernel for stock Nougat from the official thread by flar2 and save it to Internal storage.

Download SuperSu zip from Chainfire's thread (the version being discussed here)

1. Unlock bootloader (if you haven't)

2. Flash TWRP via fastboot

3. Boot into TWRP

a) Flash ElementalX Kernel zip

b) Flash SuperSu zip

4. Clear cache/dalvik and reboot to system

5. Download Phh's superuser app (not sure if you need this as the SuperSu zip will have su binaries and also the SuperSu app usually - someone please confirm)

You should have root access after this.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
A couple of pages back, there were posts (such as this https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70818283&postcount=133) that indicated the device will not boot without Elementalx kernel or a modified boot (e.g. https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/root-how-to-root-n-firmware-npj25-93-11-t3532556) if root was enabled. I've not seen any other methods of successfully enabling root without the aforementioned modifications.

The nice thing about ElementalX is that flar2 designed it to install in the boot.img, so if you back up your boot.img somewhere, you could simply flash the ~16 MB file back and be back onto the stock kernel. What's holding you back from changing kernels?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] horindano:
Well I think that it is essential to make this working with standard super-bootimg tool. I personaly prefer stock kernel over any modified kernel and I also have modified my superuser binary and thats why I can't use precompiled image provided in your link. I just hope that phh will release update for his tool which will allow us to modify boot img's easily.

Yes - if you search this thread you'll find others have gotten it to work. Flash SuperSU instead of phh superuser.

You must flash the ElementalX kernel via TWRP - I'd recommend booting into TWRP and back up your boot.img (where your stock kernel is residing), then flash the ElementalX kernel https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/development/kernel-elementalx-g4-0-01-t3424836 before flashing SuperSU.

XT1642 (Android 7.0, NPJ25.93-14) rooted with SuperSU-v2.79-SR3

I've just successfully performed these steps to root my Moto G 4 Plus (XT1642) with Android 7.0, NPJ25.93-14:

1. Unlocked bootloader https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a with the Code I received from Motorola

2. Flashed TWRP 3.0.2.0 through bootloader https://dl.twrp.me/athene/

3. Backup in TWRP (especially the boot-partition)

4. Flashed ElementalX-G4-1.03.zip https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/development/kernel-elementalx-g4-0-01-t3424836 through TWRP

5. Wiped Cache and ART-Cache through TWRP (don't know if necessary but wouldn't harm)

6. Flashed SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip https://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133. SuperSU v2.79 SR3 (or newer) will flash as systemless by default on Motorola devices running Android 6+. Older versions won't without creating a config file .supersu in /data containing the line

SYSTEMLESS=true

You cannot have root with stock kernel as the rooting process modifies the kernel.

If you want to replace the rooted rom with the stock one first unroot from the SU app.

Actually I'm not sure you even need to reflash the stock kernel after unrooting as Supersu restore the kernel backup it as made during the rooting process.

Source: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64916199&postcount=3

On older versions (before v2.79 SR3) of SuperSU that's not the case. There you have to create a config file .supersu in /data with the line

SYSTEMLESS=true

Or you can use this command creating that file with a terminal:

echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu

If you didn't an older version of SuperSU will no be flashed as systemless on a Motorola device.

Because of this I would recommand using v2.79 SR3 (or newer).
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] SoNic67:
I did use those commands because I wasn't aware that the newer SuperSU does that automatically.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] TKork:
I hardbricked my moto g4 plus, I can't power it on, the only sign of life is the white led when I plug in a usb cable.

I assume it was because I didn't flash ElementalX after step 4 of OPs guide. I misunderstood which versions needed it.

There's no way to fix this, right?
