Recently got Moto X pure, and I'm loving it. Now I've rooted before, but I really don't much experience with this, (since that phone never got an OTA update, afterwards or bootloader unlocked). I wanted to ask, When it comes to rooting, Does the Operating system it is on matter? I did the OTA update from 5.1.1 to 6.0 and I'd like to root my phone now. Do I just follow a 5.1.1 guide, or is there something else I have to do? Thanks!
Dont follow the guide on youtube thats for lollipop!

Unlocking the bootloader is the same though, then search to trupure on the forums, its a really good minimalistic rom for the moto x pure
I would read the 6.0 thread, the twrp thread and the kernel thread to get started.

Basically.
YMMV regarding keeping TWRP as read only or not when flashing systemless root, but I kept it RO and flashed Beta SuperSU v2.62.3 and have had no problems.
Men can you root your cellphone?? i have the problem when i install SuperSU on MM stuck on boot and i dont know what to do

Once your bootloader is unlocked, flash a custom ROM with SuperSU baked in.

Restore a backup and flash 2.62-3. The others seem to cause issues like the one you're experiencing.

What's confusing though is he states in section 4 the steps are only for lollipop. To go to another link for Marshmallow. Is that still the case or can we flash Beta SuperSU the old fashioned way through TWRP? I took the MM update while on stock. I have since unlocked bootloader and installed latest TWRP. Just making sure nothing has changed.

Rooting the MXPE on MM requires systemless root because, for it to work, a modified/patched boot.img has to be flashed along with SuperSU.
The most recent versions of SuperSU patch the boot.img automatically.
If you follow the link to those MM instructions, you will find the systemless root method option. Follow the link at the top of that systemless root thread to download BETA_Super SU v.2.62-3, which is confirmed to work on our Moto XPE without issues.
Once you download it, you can flash it normally via TWRP. Profit.
Hope this helps.

Thanks to @Chainfire and his method to root on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, Samsung devices on 5.1.1 can now enjoy root with a completely stock kernel with SE Android "enforcing." I will be updating this to support "systemless" root, meaning you will be able to achieve root without modifying a your system partition thus making the system believe you are "Official" and is the first step towards being able to accept OTA updates while being rooted.
Instructions:
TAR: Flash with Odin, install SuperSU via TWRP or Google Play.
ZIP: Flash with TWRP, install SuperSU via TWRP or Google Play.
TAR: Download Stock OK1 Kernel with Root support (TAR)
ZIP: Download Stock OK1 Kernel with Root support (ZIP)

OK, I attempted to do this... I Odined using the AP option as indicated above. I installed SuperSU and Root Checker Pro. SuperSU and Root Checker Pro show "no binaries" installed. I'm wondering what I did wrong? I have redone this about 4 times.
I just updated to MM and I'm so lost in the mess we have to go through to root. It seems the only method of using SuperSU is systemless. If there's a method that does involve /system I much prefer that. I've been getting random reboots on my device that occur with no pattern. And sometimes some root functions will work while other times they completely fail without notice. Is there an alternative stable method of root or at least a solution to the problems occurring? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
BUMP! These reboots are killing me

Which version of SuperSU did you use? As far as I know you cannot just flash SuperSU in TWRP for MM. I would go here and read up first if you want systemless root... http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/wip-systemless-root-t3263405 but if you just want a rooted device then go to the many threads that have pre-rooted twrp backups or just flash a rooted rom in twrp. Hope this helps you.

As an alternative to the link posted above, here is a link to vx2ko's stock MM with traditional root. The ROM is amazing. Been using it for about a week and I highly recommend it. If you're coming from systemless root you most definitely need to clean flash/factory reset before flashing the ROM.
I've been on the game for far too long, but there seems to be a confusion when
it comes to rooting this phone. All my previous phones have been fairly easy to root.
I read around a lot of forums but they have outdated information or are for Lollipop.
I have a Stock Moto X Pure edition on Marshmallow. To root this guy do i just have to unlock bootloader, flash TWRP recovery image via adb and then flash the latest version of SuperSU?
or do i need additional steps?
Thanks in advance
Do steps 9 onwards and you should be OK

I'm in the same boat as the OP. I find the available info confusing. I'm on stock MM with TWRP 2.8.7.1 installed. Looking at steps 9 on from the link above mentions flashing a modified boot image for systemless root to work with 2.52. I think the latest SuperSU (2.66? modifies the boot image, making flashing the modified unnecessary.

Im wondering this same thing, from what i've seen in posts we should be able to flash SuperSU 2.66 on a stock rom with TWRP and root should work.
I just want someone to confirm if this does actually work. I dont really want to deal with boot loops and having to restore all over again.

Is there any possible way to root the Verizon Galaxy S5 running marshmallow? I've done tons of research looking for a method to obtain root, but it seems my variant doesn't have anything going for it. My phone is g900vvru2dpg2, and Android 6.0.1. I'm getting rather irritated with TouchWiz, I miss being able to change anything on my old Galaxy S3. Also please excuse me if I'm in the wrong section, I'm brand new to posting on this site.
Hi, bro. There is no method to root MM S5. But you can downgrade to Lollipop 5.0.1 and root it with Kingroot
Install this app from the market and look at the CID.
If it's 15xx... then the answer is "YES", there's a way to have a rooted Verizon Galaxy S5 running marshmallow.
If it's 11xx... then the answer is "NO", only LP.

I had issues during the root process also. What I ended up doing was, after you click on the first bat file, the device sticks at the white screen. Go ahead & do the root process now. The device does NOT have to be booted into the OS for this to root. In fact that's the only way it works. I was able to get mine rooted using the method I linked above.
EDIT: If the root process hangs Close the bat, unplug phone pull battery and reboot phone to recovery (VolUp+Pwr+Home). In recovery wipe cache only and reboot. If phone reboots back to recovery instead, pull battery and manually reboot. Now plug phone back in and Launch Bat #3.
When the above happens you do NOT want to do a battery pull, just go on with the root process.

Well, it's simple.
You need to have MM ROM, unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery.
If the ROM isn't rooted yet you can simply download SuperSU zip from chainfire.eu and flash it via TWRP.
Bootloader unlocking guide is here.
MM ROM is here or any other you like.

Today marks the second day in a row that I have lost root. Yesterday I noticed that I didn't have root anymore and figured it was something I did, as I'm a bit of a nood and was trying to tweak some things. I spent all day yesterday on the forum and was able to get my phone on nought through the tmob rom in the roms and kernel section. Went to sleep while it was downloading my apps again and woke up without root again. Why is this happening?
If you're allowing SuperSU to update to the latest version you can lose root as a result. Stay on 2.79 or below. One possibility.

Try re-rooting using the working root method, then flash the latest SuperSU v2.82 with FlashFire. Chainfire mentioned this will fix the issues of the previous update breaking root, except for Xperia devices. I can't guarantee this works as I'm on Nougat, but Chainfire is very reputable.
