Download another version of mfastboot, or simply just fastboot, or try from scratch again!
I saw earlier your mfastboot folder has recovery.img, so cannot be a misplace error!
Still check again it is there! Otherwise, do what i wrote in first line!

[ROOT]How to get root Moto G 2015 With Android Marshmallow 6.0 (worked in XT1541)

:fingers-crossed:How to get root Moto G 2015 With Stock Android Marshmallow 6.0 (XT1541)​
Hi guys. Now I have a Moto G 2015 XT1541 with previously unlocked bootloader (following Motorola Guide described here, be careful unlocking bootloader wipes everything!) with recently installed Europe Retail Stock ROM MM 6.0, but i was having some issues trying to install TWRP 3.0 and SuperSU 2.65....until now.
With latest SuperSU you will get bootloop, and probably you need to reinstall the stock rom completely.........but... ....This method works fine!
Try it yourself on XT1540, XT1542, XT1543, XT1544 and XT14548 variants
So, I have used TWRP twrp-osprey-2.8.7-r7.img for the recovery and Super SU Beta 2.62 (BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip) to get root on my device.
Get TWRP recovery and ROOT
Step 0: enter to developer options (tap 7 times the build number) and select Allowing USB debubbing and Allow OEM unlock options
Step 1: install TWRP 2.8.7-r7 entering to bootloader mode
Turn off the device, press power and volume down and wait for two seconds. device will show bootloader mode in black screen, connect it to the pc through usb cable
Step 2: Paste twrp2.8.7-r7.img file into folder \Android\sdk\platform-tools and rename it to recovery.img (this requires previously installed Android SDK Tools, but you can do the same with MinimalADB
open cmd in windows, navigate to the platform-tools folder location and write this line:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Wait until ok message appears in cmd
TWRP will appear, and press reboot System. Enter bootloader mode again and type in CMD the following:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Wait until ok message appears in cmd. After that, press in bootloader mode the recovery option, you will enter to twrp and now new recovery becomes permanent, press Reboot system.
Step 3: copy BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip file into the device and after that, disconnect it from usb
Step 4: turn off the device, enter bootloader mode as stated in step 1, and select the recovery option with the volume up and down , press power button to enter to recovery and twrp will appear instead of original recovery.
Step 5: in twrp press install, select location of the Beta SuperSu File, select beta Super SU zip file and allow installation swipping to the right side and wait until it finish.
Step 5.1: after flash Super SU, wipe dalvik and cache through twrp, pressing the wipe dalvik/cache button located in left side.
Step 6: in twrp press button reboot now.
Wait a little while android rebuild the cache.
The device will enter to the home screen. check that super su app is installed

Note: if twrp offers to you install SuperSu dont let it. That causes a bug.
Step 7: Install Root checker and check if you are root.
Thats all folks!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plus 1 - If something goes wrong you can reinstall Stock as described in this repair guides. Check here the firmware and here the reinstall instructions
Plus 2 - How to delete the Motorola annoying unlock bootloader message:
Step 0: connect the device to the pc, copy unlocked_logo.zip file into the device and after that, disconnect from usb
Step 1:
Turn off the device, press power and volume down and wait for two seconds. device will show bootloader mode in black screen
Step 2: In bootloader mode select with the volume up and down the recovery option, press power button to enter and twrp will appear
Step 3: in twrp press install, select location of the unlocked_logo.zip File, select that file and allow installation swipping to the right
Step 4: in twrp press reboot now. The device will boot without nagging window.

Excellent instructions. First time I saw detail to flash TWRP in a manner that does not revert back to stock recovery.
One recommendation, after the first boot to recovery, make a clean (pre-root, pre-cutom recovery) TWRP back up to your SD Card. If anything goes wrong, just flash this backup.

Man I wish read your advice last night before I used one of those automated programs to root (installed latest super su) and bootloop city. I figured I would make a backup right after rooting.
I recovered by installing a close to stock 5.11 rom with twrp but would like to get back to MM without starting from scratch.
Does anyone know of a Stock MM rom (not ASOP) that can be installed with twrp?

If you get that The phone is not allowed to unlocked The bootloader when i try, how can i unlocked it then

I've had it do that on a new flash and I just held the power down until it shut off and when I turned it back on it boots normally.

Thanks, did not understand why the latest version not started, I see that you can not install a more current than version 2.65.

Make sure you have a portable SD Card installed. Then simply boot TWRP, set back up location to SD Card, and make back up. If you never used TWRP, you may want to Google it and learn a little before your first attempt.

roouted my device, everything ok

Just to report, it worked on my XT1543 (dual sim, 1GB)
Enviado de meu MotoG3 usando Tapatalk

Couldn't get this to work on XT1541 with 24.44.1.osprey_reteu_reteu.en.EU reteu with the instructions mentioned in the first post.
I got things to work by using the latest SuperSU and forced it to install in system-less mode. This worked quite well.
1. First go to bootloader using power+volumedown or from PC:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
2. Then boot TWRP (3.0.0-r2 in my case worked fine):
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-osprey-3.0.0-r2.img
3. Now copy SuperSU to the phone:
Code:
adb push BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-20160228150503.zip /sdcard/
4. Next make sure SuperSU will install in system-less mode:
Code:
adb shell
echo SYSTEMLESS=true > /data/.supersu
5. Install SuperSU by pressing "Install" in TWRP, select BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-20160228150503.zip and swipe. After installing you should see in the log that it used system-less mode. Now you can "Clear Cache/Dalvik" as well.
6. Now reboot. It should show the "Warning Bootloader Unlocked" screen once, then reboot, then show it again and this time it should continue booting into Android.

Hi guys, for me I had NO problem flashing "BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip" using "twrp-osprey-3.0.0-r2.img" on MPI24.65-33.1 Build number XT1541 (+ Allow OEM unlock options)

Bootlooped/bricked/returning to stock ...see the method here

You may be have got attracted to those new roms out there on the internet and would have probably bricked your device.Or maybe did some modding and in worst case somehow your phone bootlooped.
so please follow the guide for unbricking or solving bootloop issues:
CAUTION:
[1] FIRST OF ALL, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE.
[2] NEVER UNPLUG THE USB CABLE WHILE FLASHING IS IN PROGRESS.IT MIGHT PERMANENTLY BRICK UR DEVICE..
ONLY FOR ZENFONE 5,A501CG/00CG
download the required files:
[1] kitkat firmware: for zenfone5(a501cg/00cg only other zf5 users download appropriate firmware from asus support page): http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/A500CG/UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.21.40.44-user.zip
[2] adb/fastboot files: from here
[3] device drivers:if you do not have device drivers download and install pc link on pc from asus website,it will automatically install device drivers on your pc.(download from: http://liveupdate01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/LiveUpdate/Release/ZenFone/APP/LinkRim/PCLinkSetup.exe)
IF U R BRICKED PROCEED FROM STEP 2 ELSE FOR BOOTLOOP START FROM STEP 1:
step 1] try booting into recovery and perform a factory rest and wipe cache if this solves the bootloop(in most cases it should).if it still bootloops then follow the following tutorial
step 2]extract the fastboot files on the desktop and paste the firmware(it will be in .zip)in the fastboot folder
step 3]after copying the firmware also extract and copy the recovery.img and fastboot.img file from the firmware into the fastboot folder. (don't remove original firmware zip)
now your fastbootfolder should contain fastboot files+recovery.img+fastboot.img+firmware you dowloaded(compressed in .zip)
step4]boot into the fastboot by switching off the phone and powering it on by power+vol up key until asus logo comes up
if u r returning from some other rom u need to relock the bootloader so scroll some below to see how to relockbootloader.
step5]once you booted to fastboot ,open command promt in fastboot folder (downloaded earlier) by pressing right click+shift in any blank space on folder screen and selecting open command promt here.
in cmd write:
step6]
Code:
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
step7] fastboot reboot-bootloader
wait until reboot is complete then write
step8]
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
step9] now we will be erasing data and cache for a clean flashing
Code:
fastboot clear data
fastboot clear cache
both of them take time and screen may turn off to save power so don't panic
next use volume keys to navigate to recovery and select it using power key .once your phone boots up showing android with belly open symbol press and hold volume up+volume down until recovery menu appears.if that does not open recovery try this:
hold volume down button, click and release vol up button,,,then finally release vol down button.
i admit it brothers,,it is sometimes really difficult to boot into recovery...but keep trying,,it is a bit difficult but is fruitful
if it doesnt appears it may be due to unssucceful flashing, unplug usb cable,force switch off phone by holding power button for few seconds.now again boot in bootloader by power button and vol up key and repeat from :step[8]
once in recovery select apply update from adb
step10] write on cmd
Code:
adb sideload <downloaded firmware name>.zip
for convenience you can rename firmware to kk.zip or any thing you like so command will be adb sideload kk.zip(it may take 15 to 20 mins)
step 11]once thats done select wipe data and cache in recovery and at last select reboot from recovery menu(dont skip this else you may face freezing on welcome screen itself)
hopefully you will boot into homescreen and be patient first bootup may take upto 20 mins.
[UPDATE] HOW TO RELOCK BOOTLOADER{only for zenfone 5 other device users pls google the procedure}
(USE THIS ONLY IF U R RETURNING FROM ANY CUSTOM ROM ITS NOT NEEDED FOR BOOTLOOPING PROBLEM)
hi guys i know u will be needing to relock the bootloader while returning to stock rom..
so what u have do is use the following steps before flashing fastboot.img that is before STEP [5] mentioned above
[1] download this file (its a zip file extract it using password zenfone-five.blogspot.com)...(link=https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0o7qWuG7vvVRE9CV0hJWGRJS2c/view?usp=sharing)
[2]follow the on screen instructions
after the bootloader is locked carry on the steps from step[5]
PLEASE NOTE---THE UNLOCKING/LOCKING TOOL PROVIDED ABOVE IS NIETHER WRITTEN NOR OWNED BY ME...ALL CREDIT GOES TO ITS RESPECTIVE DEVELOPERS
this method can be used for:
1]unbricking
2]returning to stock rom
3]bootloop issues

7. Now Wait for 30 Sec/ till phone vibrates, Then press power button + vol up simultaneously until you see twrp lock screen.
8. Just Cancel if It asks for Enter password to decrypt and Allow modification by swipe.
9. If you see internal storage 0mb Then GoTo Wipe and FORMAT DATA once & reboot to recovery
10. GoTo install browse and select Magisk.zip or SuperSU.zip & flash.(optional if needed install Busybox for Android NDK by osm0sis magisk module for busybox)
11. Reboot Enjoy.

Big Thanks for the Tutorial. If anything happens wrong while rooting like boot loop or something worse, is there stock rom or firmware to flash or push through adb ?

Not tested by me but some user says in original rom post that he flashed superSU from old twrp also works fine.

Does the rom link given here unzips perfectly?
Because i saw in another thread of Lenovo K8note titled firmware, users unable to unzip due to error in system img. Also downloading from baidu needs a user id. If its possible could you or anyone else reading this upload it in some other online storage drive. Im little bit worried about getting a worse situation while rooting. Even if it goes wrong i can use the stock firmware to make it back.

Do i have to unlock bootloader again after flashing the firmware in order to root the device?

Yes, I think so. Anyhow there is no need to unlock oem again if you are flashing the rom via TWRP. Anyhow let someone confirm about it.

No need to unlock bootloader again if you use fastboot method to flash stock firmware , & for spflashtool I'm not sure but I think it remains unlocked

I have problem with recovery. Help please !

Hi. First i want to say is sorry for my bad english.
I unlocked the bootloader of my g6 and i have flashed Twrp recovery, but when i try to go to recovery mode i have this messege : " your device cannot be checked for corruption . please lock the bootloader ".
Can anyone tell me how to resolve this because i want to flash custom roms but i cant because i cant go to recovery mode..
Help me please.
Sorry if there was a topic like this, but i can not find a solution to this problem.
Now i see when i go to ADB folder and write the command " adb reboot recovery " after the reboot it says " No Command " and i cant do nothing .. I cant flash.

If you mean this screen ^ that is a normal screen that appears, with every power up / restart, after the bootloader has been unlocked.
I think of it as a "red badge of courage".
As to the question about adb commands, what is it that you are trying to accomplish?

Some more information is needed to help you.
What is your model (h870, us997)?
Are you sure you properly installed twrp (reboot to bootloader, fastboot flash recovery twrp.img)?
Which version of twrp did you use (official, Melina, eliminater's (recommended))?
Regarding your adb problem - do you fail to reboot to recovery using adb from within? Have you tried to turn it off and on again?? I mean, turn it off and try the button combination to enter recovery (turn on holding vol- and power, when logo appears, release power and quickly press again and keep holding both until "factory reset", confirm twice).
Information is key!
PS as the previous poster wrote - if you unlock your bootloader you get the warning screen, just ignore it.

the "your device cannot be checked for corruption" screen is normal, it happens when you unlock the bootloader, no issue there, in order to install TWRP you must:
1. plug your phone in and type 'adb reboot-bootloader' to boot into fastboot mode
2. flash the twrp image via 'fastboot flash recovery TWRPIMAGENAME.img'
3. This is important!: type 'fastboot reboot' and hold the rear button and volume down during the shutdown!, when the LG logo shows up quickly release JUST the rear button and press/hold it again, you should see a factory reset prompt screen, press yes both times, and you should be dumped into TWRP, at this point you can reboot from within TWRP and you should be fine.
Explanation:
the stock LG rom with overwrite the recovery if it determines it has been changed, by booting to TWRP before booting the ROM, TWRP will modify the ROM to stop it from overwriting the recovery allowing TWRP to stay after booting.
I hope this helps

THANK YOU SO MUCH .. It works .. The problem was in the buttons.

I have another problem.. When i try to go to recovery..the only what i see is the logo of TWRP and then the phone just reboot and i cant do nothing.. The phone is h870. What i have to do to have normal TWRP because i want to root it..

Try another twrp version. For Oreo afaik only Melina and Eliminater (which is a continuation of Melina) work. I recommend Eliminater's version, it's up to date (v3.2.3) and backup works - at least for me. I'm on H870 Oreo 20b.
For Nougat I have no experience, as I got my phone recently and never downgraded. But as I understand it from others' experiences, for full custom ROM functionality (e.g. fingerprint) Nougat bootloader is preferable. Search the forum, the information is there!

Yes, I use Melina TWRP, flash Version rel_o2 (or latest) using the method I said above.

Where i can find those versions of Twrp ( melina, eliminater ) ?
