Good morning guys,
I see a lot of threads here about rooting 4.2.2, but in all of them it is recommended to root the phone by installing zip archive from a custom recovery.
I don't want to change stock recovery - is there any way to root it by flashing img from adb? I did it in this way on 4.2.1, by installing CF-Auto-Root-mako-occam-nexus4.img file from adb.
Can anyone advice how to get root without flashing custom recovery?
I have to ask,....why would you NOT want a custom recovery? What is the point in using a crippled stick recovery?
From my Evo LTE, yup.
Look at this How to thread in the general section, I copied and pasted relevant information. I kept a custom recovery and didn't try this method, but it says it will not flash a custom recovery.
E. Optional -- Root
If you want to get root access follow the steps below. (And no, this will not flash a custom recovery, and not, it will not make you "not stock".) Unlocked bootloader required. See steps above.
1) Download (to your computer) the latest version of CWM (from here) or TWRP (from here) for your device;
2) Rename the file to customrecovery.img, and make sure it is in the same directory as your fastboot.exe file;
3) Download (to /sdcard on your device) the latest version of either ChainsDD's Superuser (not currently working), or Chainfire's SuperSU;
4) Restart your device in fastboot mode and plug into computer;
5) Open a command prompt in the directory mentioned above and type: fastboot boot customrecovery.img
6) Wait for it to boot;
7) Navigate the menus the recovery menu on your device and select an option like "update zip from sdcard". Find the zip that you downloaded, and apply it.
8) Reboot. Done.
You can flash custom recovery via fastboot, use it to install su.zip and when you will choose restart after that, you will have question about you want custom recovery permanently or not, if you choose no then after restart you will have stock recovery

I want to make installing of future OTA as simple as possible. So I will get root and freeze all the system apps i don't want to be run, but when OTA comes I will be able to install it and will not receive any error messages which i had during this OTA.
It seems like this is a good solution:
5) Open a command prompt in the directory mentioned above and type: fastboot boot customrecovery.img

Do i understand correctly that this boots customer recovery on my phone from PC hard drive, but doesn't flash it to the phone? So, I'm able to install root.zip from it, but when i reboot the phone I don't have a custom recovery.
You can do as i mentioned in my post before or you can use as well command mentioned by ketjr81: fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img in both cases you will have had stock recovery after restart
Thank you guys, you have solved my issue. Now i have to find a ZIP with root to flash.

All,
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. I have a Nexus 4 that I rooted and installed CWM recovery on, but I never installed any new kernels, ROMs, or radios. I'm currently on 4.4.4 and I want to upgrade to Lollipop. The OTA upgrade failed. So I tried returning to stock recovery and doing both the OTA and adb sideloading the OTA zip. Both fail.
The error message is "Package expects build fingerprint of google/occam/mako:4.4.4/KTU84P/1227136:user/release-keys or google/occam/mako:5.0/LRX21T/1576899:user/release-keys; this device has google/occam/mako:4.4/KRT160/907817:user/release-keys." (But I definitely have 4.4.4 on my phone, not 4.4.0.)
The extra difficulty is that I really, really do not want to wipe my phone. I have a lot of apps with a lot of configuration and other user data. So is there anything I can do? I guess I should try unrooting somehow? Or is there some other zip I can download that, through some type of recovery, will install the OTA without doing this check and also without wiping me?
Thanks again!

OTA wants complete stock and obviously it doesn't think so about your phone. One option could be to back up to the cloud or some place outside the phone with TiBu (or whatever backup app you trust), then flash lollipop and try restore from TiBu. Another option would be to unroot (Supersu has an option to completely unroot), then retry.
Actually, I figured out what works! This was on a stock rooted device with stock recovery, but I bet it would work with custom recovery too. Instructions modified from https://pay.reddit.com/r/nexus4/comments/1qny3f/howto_update_your_stock_w_lte_nexus_4_without/ .
1. Download the image you want from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images . Extract it, extract the .zip file inside it too, and collect all of the .img files into one folder.
2. adb reboot bootloader (and wait until the bootloader comes up)
3. fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz30f.img (or whatever file has a similar name, if you got a different image than I did)
4. fastboot reboot-bootloader (and wait until the bootloader comes back up)
5. fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1701.04.img (or whatever file has a similar name, if you got a different image than I did)
6. fastboot reboot-bootloader (and wait until the bootloader comes back up)
7. fastboot flash boot boot.img
8. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
9. fastboot flash system system.img
10. fastboot format cache
11. fastboot reboot
12. Don't panic unless you've seen the startup animation for at least 15 minutes without anything else happening.
I lost root, but I imagine re-custom-recoverying and re-rooting won't be any harder than the first time around.
Hi moriarty00,
I'm going to try the same procedure, thank you for posting this.
Can you confirm that your data and app are safe after the upgrade?

Wow, a 12-step program
I simply rolled back my changes, and applying the OTA was as simple as pressing the "restart and install" button Here are some steps:
I used the app Flashify from Play Store to flash stock 4.4.4 recovery. I downloaded the stock factory image from google's own site (this one), used 7zip to extract the archives (tgz and tar), found "recovery.img" and transfered that to my phone. Then chose that file in Flashify.
Uninstalled all apps that made system changes, like Xposed framework and mods, BetterBatteryStats etc.
Removed Root with SuperSU cleanup function
Rebooted for good measure and apply OTA from notification - wait an hour or two for it to complete
Profit (do we still say that on the internet? Getting old here...)
I don't know if certain ways to get root will break the OTA. I used towel-root, and apparently SuperSU was able to undo that completely.

Yup, perfectly safe! Just make sure not to flash other images, like userdata.img.

Unfortunately the steps did not work for me, maybe I had some irreversible modifications or I had followed a different rooting procedure.
Or maybe I made a mistake in the upgrading steps.
Anyway, I had to flash the whole ROM and now everything is working fine.
Hey!
Basically I have similar problem with upgrading from 4.4.4 to 5.0 using OTA. Log from TWRP says:
Package expects build fingerprint of google/occam/mako:4.4.4/KTU84P/1227136:user/release-keys or google/occam/mako:5.0/LRX21T/1576899:user/release-keys; this device has google/occam/mako:4.3/JWR66V/737497:user/release-keys.

Phone has been rooted using Nexus Root Toolkit. And as long as there wouldn't be a problem with flashing using adb and wiping all data, there is one setback... My nexus is somehow broken. Communication via USB does not work, at all. Neither phone nor PC sees other device. Certified LG service centre nearby said that it is problem with main board, so generally repair is unprofitable.
So question is: How do I update to 5.0 and then root, without USB connection to my PC?
Edit: The attached zip in post #2 in a minor update the original 4.4.4 release for XT1060 FXZ. Below are the instructions. This is NOT the Full 4.4.4 OTA update.
Instructions to flash
1.) Move zip file from /cache folder to /sdcard folder if you received OTA (Zip file in 2nd post if you do not have it.)
2.) To be safe, disable xposed framework (if you have it running).
3.) Reboot into bootloader
4.) Use mfastboot to flash stock recovery (if not running it)
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5.) Boot into recovery from bootloader
6.) Hold Power + Up Button to get recovery menu.
7.) Flash zip file from sdcard.
8.) When complete reboot, then boot into bootloader.
9.) Use mfastboot to flash custom recovery (aka twrp)
mfastboot flash recovery <twrp file name>.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
10.) Reboot and enable xposed framework.
11.) Done.
Another suggestion by @KidJoe
After mfastboot flash recovery <recoveryyouwant>.img its long been suggested to do a mfastboot reboot-bootloader then go into recovery, before doing anything else.
We've seen many instances where skipping the reboot-bootloader and enter recovery giving symptoms like the flash of recovery didn't work... (i.e. "old" recovery was still on the phone)

It's far, far more than a 911 bug fix ... there's 2500 lines in the updater script, touching dozens (if not hundreds) of app and files.
Does this require removal of root/xposed or just needs stock recovery?

I generally disable xposed and flash stock recovery but root should be fine. Anyone have a copy of the stock recovery? I'm on the dev edition. OTA's are so infrequent on this device that I forget where I stash the stock recovery all the time.
I got the notification last night, and hid it this morning (turned off notifications for the Moto Updater app). I am on an XT1060 Moto Maker, with an unlocked bootloader. In the past I've flashed /system and /recovery to update (from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4) with the OTA, then reflashed TWRP and flashed SuperSU from there. Do I need to do all that, or just stock recovery?
I do have Xposed, Cerberus and App Ops installed as System Apps, I believe.
I found the recovery for myself at the following link:
http://motofirmware.center/files/file/47-vzw_xt1060_444-kxa2112-l126_cfc_1ffxmlzip/
Might help someone else...You can verify your build by going to About phone. I had Build number KXA21.12-L1.26

For some reason, I cannot use either mfastboot or fastboot to flash the stock recovery. When flashing it, I get the android icon with the red triangle.
Its been a while since I have had to flash back to stock recovery. What am I missing? I have the stock recoverystored for the last official FXZ.
when android with red triangle appears, press vol up for 3 seconds and you will be given option to flash from sd card.
Well, this has locked me out of re-flashing custom recovery, which - of course - means there's nothing that can be done beyond that.
Any version of TWRP up to, and including, the latest flashes without error ... but when you boot, it's still got stock recovery on it.
So no way to root, apply supersu, or do anything.

Anyone got the fxz for this yet?
Ok, figured this out ...
(was able to back down to the original 4.4.4 w/rsd-lite and regain TWRP and develop these steps)
So the following can be done to upgrade to this new version, and retain TWRP (plus you have the new recovery later on for 5.1 when it comes along ...)
First, the presumption here is you are unlocked. If you are not, none of this will work.
Also, you will need RSD-Lite installed and operational.
Download :
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u...RIZON_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26-3_cid2_1FF.xml.zip
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u...4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26-3/twrp-2.8.6.0-ghost.img
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22067374/GHOST_VERIZON_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26-3/servicefile.xml
Unpack the GHOST zip file, and overwrite the "servicefile.xml" in the unpacked folder w/the one you downloaded, then copy the twrp .img in there.
Fire up RSD-Lite, put your phone in fastboot, and apply this update by loading the servicefile.xml as the update.
It will update everything, installing the TWRP instead of the new stock recovery.
Note: you can delete the twrp line in servicefile.xml if you wish to retain your existing custom recovery.
When done, you should reboot, update, and be up and running with the new 4.4.4 and TWRP ... so easy path back to root via TWRP.
FYI... its already confirmed that you do NOT have to disable Xposed... All you need is stock recovery.

I recently unlocked the bootloader and rooted my Nexus 6P and just this evening received an update for the November Security Update. This downloads fine but when the phone reboots to install, it just goes to TWRP and doesn't install.
This is most likely incredibly simple and stupid for me even to ask, but is it possible to install one I've unlocked/rooted?
Any advice will be much appreciated.
You need the stock recovery to take otas Thats why it won't work

Before, it initiates an update install. It checks root status. If it finds the device is rooted then it stops OTA install, to prevent any further damage to the phone.
In the least number of steps, what is the best way with chainfire modified boot image, and twrp? I love updates, but I loathe having to undo what I've accomplished in the way of customization. I know I'm not the only one who finds it a pain.

If you have gone as far as unlocking and rooting your phone, then you must have decided to go with some sort of ROM. If you do that, youll actually "typically" get the updates quicker from the developer than OTA. Just saying. And you dont lose your mods.
Does anyone have the stock recovery img handy? Should be easy to get OTA's with flashify that way.

I was hoping to stay stock and use xposed when it is ready. So, no, I haven't gone that far in a long time.

The best way to get the ota updates for you would be to download the factory image from Google and Fastboot flash. If you dont wipe user data you should be able to keep most of your settings. You will also need to reflash chainfire's boot Img.

Here is what I do. So long as you do not flash or wipe userdata, this method should maintain all your app data and settings:
1. Download files:
* Latest factory image from: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en and extract .img files to a folder on your computer with fastboot.
* Modified boot.img from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344 and extract boot.img to the same folder (I usually rename it to modifiedboot.img so I have have the original boot.img and modified images in the same folder).
* Latest version of TWRP from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0-touch-recovery-t3234976 (direct link: https://dl.twrp.me/angler/) to the same folder
* Systemless SuperSU from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133 (do not unzip) to /sdcard/download folder on phone
2. Flash .img files using the following commands:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img [using current name of bootloader image - not necessary if no change to bootloader from prior factory image]
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-angler.img [using current name of radio image - not necessary if no change to radio from prior factory image]
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash boot modifiedboot.img
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.x-angler.img [replace x with the current version]
3. Boot into recovery (TWRP), flash SuperSU.zip from /sdcard/download, wipe davlik and regular caches and reboot to system.
Upon reboot, Android will optimize all of your apps, so the first boot will take a while. However, the whole process usually takes me about 20 minutes - perhaps a bit more if I do a TWRP backup before upgrading (recommended).

OR - as I suggested in another thread, if you really want to take the OTA, instead of the above method, you probably could do the following (note I haven't tested this, but I assume it would work) - files can be downloaded using the same links listed above:
1. Flash stock boot.img and recovery.img from current factory image (e.g., if you are currently running MDB08K, you will want to download the MDB08K factory image (not the newer one) and extract the boot.img and recovery.img files from that archive - note that this step will temporarily disable root and TWRP)
2. Boot into system, download and install OTA
3. Reflash modified boot.img from Chainfire and TWRP recovery (i.e., fastboot flash boot boot.img, fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.x-angler.img)

Thanks. This is helpful, even though it makes me feel like a baby. It's sad, considering we old-timers have been flashing **** that, at the time, seemed more complex. Or maybe it didn't. Never bricked a windows CE device. This isn't really 'complex' anyway. Just feels like far too many steps. I want a twrp flashable image, simply.

Just use a custom rom and update as it gets updated.
More features, updated more often, flashable.
Easiest way to go.

Think about that for a second...you would have needed fastboot already to get a custom recovery onto your phone in the first place. You are flashing an entire ROM versus 2 files so it takes longer already. You'll need to update more files on first boot. Not faster or easier so not sure where your argument comes from.

Sorry, but if ya think it's slower or harder to download a rom and flash it, I don't know what to tell ya.
I really just want stock + xposed. So, I should really be looking for flashable security updates. Rooting doesn't necessarily imply that someone wants a custom ROM. *Not* needing a custom ROM to customize the OS is what xposed is all about. Making this choice doesn't mean we are idiots.

Xposed is very unstable. Most of the time causes reboots.

OR - as I suggested in another thread, if you really want to take the OTA, instead of the above method, you probably could do the following (note I haven't tested this, but I assume it would work) - files can be downloaded using the same links listed above:
1. Flash stock boot.img and recovery.img from current factory image (e.g., if you are currently running MDB08K, you will want to download the MDB08K factory image (not the newer one) and extract the boot.img and recovery.img files from that archive - note that this step will temporarily disable root and TWRP)
2. Boot into system, download and install OTA
3. Reflash modified boot.img from Chainfire and TWRP recovery (i.e., fastboot flash boot boot.img, fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.x-angler.img)
4. Install SuperSU using TWRP

Did anyone try this? Did it work? I am rooted but I have stock recovery (instead of flashing TWRP I just booted into it with fastboot for the SU install). Do I still need to flash the stock boot and recovery img's? I'm not sure what changes when SU is intalled. Thanks!
Edit - Does the "full unroot" button on SuperSU work? Is this all I would need to do since I did not permanently flash TWRP?
just did this. works perfectly. all data still there.
thanks!!!
*NOTE: I tried to update my XT1575 Moto-X Pure Edition from a file on this page and it was a disaster! I now have the OTA visible on my phone, see screenshot, that keeps popping up. My phone is currently rooted, unlocked, and has TWRP installed, all courtesy of WinDroid tool. Windroid was painless, easy, and got the job done pretty quickly. Now that I can take the OTA update, is there an instruction page somewhere showing how to take the upgrade and keep root and recovery TWRP? That is the gist of what I really need.
I have a new Motorola Moto-X Pure Edition, rooted and TWRP with WinDroid app from Windows. This made it incredibly easy to unlock bootloader, install TWRPm and root. I am very happy with this system and some Xposed modules. I heard all the hoopla about the new Marshmallow rollout but did not have it offered to me on this phone. So, I did it manually from this page:
Stock/Rooted/Debloated X1575 6.0 MPH24.49-18
So much to choose from so I downloaded the moto_x_pure_edition_rooted_x1575_mph24.49-18_v1-deodexed.zip and flashed it in TWRP, after making a nandroid backup in TWRP. Everything seemed to work fine but I had problems after problems. My 32 GB ext-sdcard "vanished" and the system insisted that I reformat the card as "Portable" or "Permanent". I chose portable. I could not get Xposed working properly. My password manager would not work, when I updated from the play store, I got the message that all Android 6 apps now require a password at first run. Huh? What password? None of the passwords I have for the password managers would open the app.
Before losing 30+ GB of data on my ext-sdcard, I copied it to PC, then when complete I put it back in the phone, allowed the format as portable, then pulled the card and restored my stuff. Nothing was working right and it was pretty scary as this is my only phone. I restored the TWRP backup and had some settling in issues, but it worked, all but for WiFi. I could not turn it on! Like a spring on the switch, the moment you switched on WiFi, it snapped right back to the OFF position. No more WiFi. A friend sent me a stock recovery zip file, CLARK_RETUS_5.1.1_LPH23.116-18_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml_SHAWN5162.zip.
This file, once unzipped, will flash the entire phone back to stock. He send me a small modem-flash.bat file because he thinks that I have an Android 6 radio in an Android 5 device. After running the flash-modem.bat, I got my WiFi back.
flash-modem.bat
Code:
@ECHO Off
@Echo Test
C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\platform-tools\adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
.fastboot reboot
Now I am really, really gun shy. I now have the dreaded update message on my phone, see screenshot. I found some good instructions here:
[GUIDE] Unlock/Root/Flash for Moto X Style/Pure
Are these instructions safe if I take the OTA update?
What preparations should be made prior to taking OTA aside from a TWRP backup?
Must I really format my ext-sdcard to use Marshmallow?
What other kind of weird things will happen?
Thank you so much, scared "sheetless in Florida"

Two points:
1. You can never ever ever take any OTA with a custom recovery (TWRP) installed. You MUST flash stock recovery prior to taking the OTA.
2. The update will fail if you have made ANY modifications to /system. This includes using TWRP to flash SuperSu to your device.
So if you just do a complete FULL return to stock and have a working lollipop installation, DO NOT INSTALL TWRP OR INSTALL SUPERSU. Take the OTA update. Afterwards you are free to go ahead and flash TWRP. I recommend IMMEDIATELY making a nandroid backup once you have taken the OTA and flashed TWRP.
I also suggest using the new "systemless root" method instead of the traditional root method. If you use systemless root, you won't need to restore /system (as long as you didn't modify it by flashing Xposed, Adaway, or similar. If a future OTA comes out with systemless root, you simply flash the stock kernel (which will unroot you), then accept the new update, then modify the boot image again to re-gain root.
To sum it up: *IF* you are 100% stock on lollipop (no TWRP, no SuperSU), you can go ahead and take the OTA. Afterwards, you can do whatever you would like (flash TWRP, SuperSU, etc). Just keep in mind that if you don't use the new systemless root, you will have to do a full return to stock AGAIN the next time an OTA comes out.
Good Luck.
Hi Ohmster. Hope you are well. I experienced the exact same "mess" as you have. In fact, I had the identical setup (Lollipop, TWRP, Nova, etc.). I tried the FLASH-ALL approach multiple times as well as separate reflash of the modem included in the CLARK_RETUS zip (followed steps line by line). But I'm still stuck without wifi (slides back to "off" immediately). prior to all this, I did a factory wipe as well as subsequent "fastboot -w". Any ideas? I'm on day 3 without a phone Thanks in advance for your wisdom!!

Do you think it would work if I did a Full Unroot using SuperSU and then uninstalled it using TiBu. Then flashed stock recovery using the restore to stock tool. So at that point I would have unrooted, removed SuperSu, and flashed back the stock recovery image. Do you think this would do the trick, or is it just best to completely flash the entire device using the restore to stock tool in full. I can recover from a soft brick but don't want a complete brick. Do you think my method is worth a try and that it wouldn't cause a complete brick condition? I would like to not have to reset my phone completely, but will if that is the only best way to get onto MM. Thanks.

Actually my XT1575 is running and is in good shape now. I was lucky, @OldBaldy got on Hangouts with me and walked me through it. He sent me a large file which I believe to be the original stock rom for the Moto-X with a flash.bat file in so as long as you have your Windows drivers installed with ADB and Fastboot working. It took me the entire night to get that working with the correct drivers because Baldy had to go to bed.
The file I really needed for this is a 1.27 GB file, CLARK_RETUS_5.1.1_LPH23.116-18_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml_SHAWN5162.zip. He told me NOT to run the FLASH-ALL.bat inside because all he wanted to do was reset the WiFi radio from an Android 6 radio to an Android 5 radio. Baldy was really smart and edited the restore system bat file to a tiny little "StockROM_FlashModem.txt" and it worked! WiFi came right back!
After that, I had to use adb over USB to flash the system back to original lollipop with no root, take the OTA update, then flash the boot.image file, update done, then flash the boot.img before installing SuperSU and most of this we did with ADB over USB. You cannot flash BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip until you flash that boot.img file.
If I was smart, I would have copy/pasted all the adb stuff we did into a text file, but of course, I didn't. But yes it is all working quite well now.
BEWARE:
Xposed does work in MM but not everything. I had to go back to TWRP, remove Xposed, and then enable only a couple of them that I know are safe like AdBlocker and Greenify.
I cannot give you anymore details since I screwed it up myself a couple of times and ended up redoing it on my own and again with Baldy's help.
NOTE:
Baldy did want something out of all this help he was giving me, he wanted the very first nandroid TWRP backup system files that I made immediately as soon as I got the update done because that is a perfectly clean backup and if you ever wanted to put your phone back to stock, that backup would do it.
Before giving up on Xposed and being sure that this was lousing up my phone; self boots, black screen, would not boot, bootloop, etc., I finally realized that this phone actually WORKS, man. It has to be the Xposed files,and modules that are causing the problems. And after removing all but the 2 I mentioned, the phone works great now. I will add more modules, very, very slowly and test each one for a couple of days before I clear it and dare add another one.

Hi Ohmster. Thanks again. So are you on Marshmallow? I got back with your info above and back to 5.1.1 (CLETUS). I tried to take the OTA and it downloaded, went to install, and I watched it just say "error" while on the installation screen. I'm going to try again. Let me know if you all set or in the same boat Thanks again!

Did you get back to stock using CLARK_RETUS_5.1.1_LPH23.116-18_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml_SHAWN5162.zip? I have still not gone through the process yet as I am concerned about messing up the process. I want to ask a few questions here. I am well accustomed to fastboot flashing but want to be exactly sure of what to flash and the reason for doing it. I am on stock 5.1.1 LP with bootloader unlocked and rooted with SuperSU. So first I need to use Shawn5162's zip to restore me back to complete stock without root, then I need to go in and setup the phone to at least get the MM OTA, then install the OTA and hope all goes well. Lastly, to root again I need to use Shawn5162's zip to flash boot.img only, then flash TWRP, and finally flash SuperSU again. Is all this correct? Thank you.

That is the correct firmware. You don't need to remove anything. All you need to do is flash recovery and system, reboot and take the OTA. Make sure you have the new TWRP ( 2.8.7.1 ) downloaded, the 2.8.7.0 won't work with the new bootloader. I used the modified boot image and supersu 2.52 because I did not care about modifying the system partition. You can use Supersu 2.62 for systemless root if you wish. If you're planning to use Xposed, then systemless gives you no added benefits.
Always, before starting something like this, make a nandroid!

So, I couldn't wait and already did it. I flashed Shawn5162's file in full. Then I took the OTA and updated perfectly. I have already installed TWRP 2.8.7.1 and made a nandroid of my Stock unrooted MM ROM. Now I want to root but want to make sure I understand this step perfectly. Which boot.img do I use? The ones in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/root-moto-x-style-xt1572-br-marshmallow-t3259380? The boot.img in that thread is way smaller than the one in Shawn5162's LL zip tool. Just want to be sure I am doing this correctly. Lastly am I using the SU file in that thread as well and following those exact directions? Thanks.

That boot img is for style only, not for pure. There is another called boot_root_mm_clark_retus.zip
Search for that file, it's the one you need for Supersu 2.5.2
You can use either supersu 252 of 256. I used 252 and have had no problems. If you have flashed TWRP, just put the supersu of your choice and the boot_root.zip files on you phone and flash with TWRP.

Hi OldBaldy. Sorry I'm still having a tough time. As mentioned, I got back to 5.1.1 per the above process. I read your latest note and flashed the latest twrp (2.8.7.1) and took the MM OTA. It's now flashing the "teamwin" screen over and over. Should I be patient or bail? Thanks again for your patience and help!!!

You have to take the OTA BEFORE you flash TWRP. What you need to do now is get back into fastboot and flash the stock recovery img from the 5.1.1 factory image. Then reboot into system and take the OTA. After it installs, then follow the above instructions.

No, that is the wrong root img to flash prior to installing SuperSU 2.52.

Yup, I realized that plus someone else informed me that wasn't the one. I got her all taken care of and she is up and running smooth as can be. The battery on MM is really good. I'm impressed. I also wrote up a huge how to on the whole process and posted it. Should contain all the necessary steps in one place now. It gets a bit crazy having to dig all over the place to gather all that is needed. These threads get quite large and finding stuff gets more difficult as the days go by.
