What system version are you on? Is your bootloader unlocked? If you're on the latest OTA you can't root.

I have unlocked bl, cwm 6023 and stock 422.
Now I want to root.
Tried already toolkit and n- cry tool without success.
Although the tool says root, there is no root.
How can I get root?
Thx

if you flashed a custom recovery and have the bootloader unlocked, all you have to do is either flash the su binaries or a custom rom via your recovery. latest su binaries http://download.chainfire.eu/311/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.05.zip

How did it go? I'm inetersted in doing the exact same
I have a Razr M -- if there is a better place to ask this, please don't hesitate to let me know. I am new to this, but trying to learn.
I had the phone rooted and the bootloader unlocked, 4.1.2. I haven't accepted the OTA, but as you'll see below it's a pain because I've lost root and can't freeze the updater. The phone is still unlocked, and TWRP is still installed, but no root.
I had a problem with Safestrap where it would not create new ROM slots. I fixed it with a data format and factory reset. I was able to reroot with Motochopper, and then used Titanium to restore my apps. I must have restored something that the system didn't like, because I got stuck in a bootloop.
I then factory reset again, to start over. Only now Motochopper doesn't root.
I get a success message from Motochopper, Superuser does appear on the phone, but I also get the lines:
sh: /system/xbin/busybox: not found
cp: /system/xbin/su: No such file or directory
Superuser itself says that the binary needs to be updated, but none of the install options (install, recovery install) work. I tried Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, since I had a protected SU installed, and it didn't work either.
Since I had Safestrap installed, I thought I might be able to get CMOD to a custom ROM slot even if the stock had lost root. I went ahead and created a custom ROM slot and tried to flash the Razr M CMOD 10.1 and gapps to it. I got a success message, but when I boot I just get a blackscreen; I've waited it out for 20 minutes or so, and nothing loads.
I have the Razr 1.20 utility, but frankly I am afraid to use it to try to go back to stock 4.1.2. I don't know what the OTAs have done, and frankly everything I have loaded to the M has bombed, and if I mess with my (now screwed up) stock install, I don't know that I'll be able to recover. But using the 1.20 utility and flashing 4.1.2 is my last idea.
Any help or thoughts? Why the hell did Motochopper stop working? What does this line about busybox mean? Can it be fixed short of trying to go back to stock 4.1.2?
Any help would be deeply appreciated. Because I lost root (and Titanium) I can't freeze the updater any more, which means it's now a matter of postponing every 12 hours. Not my favorite thing. And because my bootloader is unlocked I really hesitate to accept the OTA.
Since you have TWRP installed, get rid of Safestrap, you don't need it. If you're unlocked you can use Utility1.20 with no issues. If, somehow you did install the OTA, and you still have TWRP, then you just need to flash a SU zip in recovery to retain root. However, I think your best bet right now to get everything back to normal is to use the utility.

Many thanks. A few questions.
First, I may have misspoken, apologies -- the terminology is new to me. Safestrap has a version of TWRP, and that is what I mean when I say that I have TWRP installed. I don't have it separately installed. Does that change your advice?
Second, can I flash a zip of SU from Safestrap? Would I navigate to the Titanium Backup .zip and use the install function of Safestrap?
I deeply appreciate the advice. I may indeed have to go back to stock with the 1.20 utility, as you note.
Safestrap isn't a version of TWRP. It's based off of TWRP, but it's designed to work with a locked bootloader. Honestly, I would just use the utility and flash back to stock, re-root, and then install TWRP.
If you don't want to do this, your next step needs to be flashing TWRP, deleting and uninstalling SS, and flashing SU. You shouldn't be able to flash SU in SS. If you want to take the OTA, then you need to install an aftermarket recovery, first, so you can flash SU.

hello guys,
I had 4.4.1 rom+kernel stock, rooted and custom recovery, after the OTA to 4.4.2 lost my root and recovery.
tried re-root with wug's but it gets stuck on "pushing root file to you device".
got superSU application but cant remove it because its system application.
Is there a way to root it?
thanks.
Same here except i had cwm touch latest. It seems i have lost my recovery too. If i try and boot into the recovery menu i get the open hood android with a red triangle.
No custom kernel only custom recovery.

I lost my custom recovery too. But I just reflashed it (adb reboot bootloader, then flashed a downloaded custom recovery via fastboot), and then reflashed SuperSU as well.

I'm having the same problem. Root undone, and recovery went back to stock. Custom recovery doesn't stick after reboot.

I was in the same situation after my OTA of 4.4.2
I had nexus root toolkit, tried to put in twrp with it failed.
Then updated to the latest nrt and then I could flash the latest twrp, havent tried cwm.
and eventually got the root back using nrt

Found the solution to my problem. Used CF Auto Root instead of manually flashing SuperSU again. Cheers guys!

Same thing happened to me. just use fastboot to flash CWM, then before you reboot go into the recovery. then next time you reboot it will still be there. For some reason if I flash the recovery then reboot without entering recovery it will loose the recovery.
Once you have the recovery back, just flash the SuperSU binary through CWM.
Also, IMHO, dont use toolkits... you dont really know whats going on when you use those. Learn to use ADB & fastboot. They are really simple to use and you will be better able to help yourself when you have problems in the future.
Hey everyone I just recently got a Moto X Pure with TWRP recovery already installed and the bootloader unlocked, unrooted. The phone was stuck on Marshmallow so I went to update and it would take me to TWRP recovery every time and when I reboot back into the system, I'm still stuck on Marshmallow. So I downloaded an app that would make me download OTA updates while still having TWRP recovery but it needed root access, which I didn't have. I tried all of the one-click root apps but non worked then I stumbled across an easy root method: ( oops it said I can't post links, but basically I downloaded a supersu zip and flashed it) which I followed very precisely and I'm pretty sure I did nothing wrong. But when I flashed the ZIP using TWRP and booted back into system it was stuck on the Motorola logo which I'm assuming is bootloop. I was going to download a stock recovery using fastboot but I discovered that it would relock the bootloader, which would render the device useless to me so I can't. I also tried wiping the Dalvrik Cache but it always failed. I'm new to all of this so please guys I'm desperate for help. Thanks in advance
You can flash with fastboot the newest stock(the same version or upper) without commands "...oem..." at start and the end.
Or
The newest downloadable without commands "..oem, bootloader, gpt, oem...". @Philo0o
BL will be still unlocked.
Do you have a tutorial on how to do that please?

More accurately you need to flash boot.img which is the kernel , in the case where root was being installed using systemless mode.
Otherwise, if you tried an old SuperSU version (where systemless didn't existed or the ones that failed to detect to install using systemless method on this phone) you'll need to reflash the whole system partition (using Firmware system chunks or custom ROM zip file).
I was trying to root my phone and I installed Supersu but than my phone refused to boot. It would open fastboot but nothing after that. I tried to revert to the stock image and i think i made it past that but, that did not fix anything i can still only boot into fastboot. Please help me I want to save my phone.

Flash a temporary rom and then install a stock recovery, and then boot back into stock rom by flashing stock image on pc
through fastboot mode

@fireop958
Installing SuperSU or any root app needs custom kernel installed, if you flash it on stock kernel then its anti-root mechanism will get activated and it will refuse to boot;
now first flash the stock rom via fast boot from here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
then after its booted successfully, then flash the TWRP from fastboot and flash the ElimentalX kernel from TWRP, reboot and check the kernel info in about phone in settings; after then
simply flash SuperSU or magisk from TWRP to get root access
