Hello everyone! I've been looking for bootloader unlocking and root for my Moto x style running 6.0.1, but i can only find root for 5.1.1 etc and i really don't want to make any mistakes so if someone could link me a tutorial that really works or tell me what to do i'd be really happy. I've rooted before but long time ago so i have some knowledge.
Regards

There many topics for how to unlock bootloader for the moto x pure, also on the website from moto itself. when thats done, you can flash TruePure ROM, what in my opinion is a good custom stockROM, or just flash supersu inside the bootloader

Thank you for answer! But can you use the same method for unlocking on any android version on the moto? And when im done unlocking the bootloader, how do i root it or is it automaticly rooted when unlocked?

Wow man, if you unlocked the bootloader you need to flash another recovery like twrp, when you flashed twrp you can flash supersu or TruePure
Huge suggestion. Please read through these forums for the Style/pure. All of your questions are answered throughout well as info you haven't asked about that you may find useful.
For the most part, unlocking the bootloader and rooting is easy. There is information discussing rooting 6.0.

Hello guys,
i got a sony z1 and i looked through all threads how to root and install custom roms and all methods seem pretty intense.
Is it not easier just to do it the official way ? i mean sony provides everything that you need to unlock and flash things. Can i do it this way ?
1. Unlock Bootloader officially :
http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
2. Download Sony Flash Tool:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/
3. Download a custom rom FTF and flash it with Flash Tool.
does it work that way ? or have i missed something ? thanks guys

Backup your Ta partition before unlocking..!!
hey thanks !
i think i really messed up. I am on 5.0.2 Lollipop and rooted with kingroot. But i disliked kingroot because i read that the software might install some spyware on your phone. so i uninstalled it again and lost root. Now i am stuck. i think something is messed up in my root folder. Even the official 5.1.1 rom cant be installed.
is there another way to root 5.0.2 and backup the TA partition ?

You could have replaced KingRoot with supersu.
There is a thread here that describes the way.

I can't remember because I backed up my ta portion long time ago but do you really need root to do it?

you may flash *.108 firmware ,root it,backup your ta,unlock your bootloader, install recovery,flash any custom rom of your choice,also do read for bugs/problems in rom before flashing.
if you are a beginner i would advise you not to unlock bootloader . first play with roms that work with locked bootloader then unlock it ,as with locked bootloader it is very easy to recover your device...:good::fingers-crossed:
Thanks man. I did not know that you could downgrade with no root and locked bootloader. I am now on *.108 Firmware 4.4.4 kitkat.
I just have 2 more questions then i am really happy.
1. I have some trouble with rooting using NUTS method.
after clicking on the install.bat cmd opens and i type 3 for Installation on unrooted rom using towelroot method
and then hit enter. nothing happens. after looking at some other threads here i realized maybe sony patched 4.4.4 so towelroot does not work anymore.
any otherway to install it ?

thanks! worked and the dualrecovery installer worked too. After I updated the ADB drivers. :good:
TA-Partition saved with TWRP. I did not know that losing the TA-partition would delete the x-reality, bionz and other features forever.
I mean why do people still unlock their bootloader when they can just downgrade and install recovery ?
Just in case... does upgrading / downgrading with flashtool always work on a locked unrooted Z1 or do higher firmwares prevent you from downgrading ? Could i just flash a pre-rooted TFT for example 5.1.1 and dont have to worry about root after installation?

Flashtool does always work. It doesn't matter which firmware your phones uses, if it is rooted or not or your bootloader locked or unlocked.

Super ! Danke man.
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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/help/updating-to-mm-lp-moto-x-pure-t3270473
If you want ota root, it needs to be systemless root.
Here is the twrp version u need.

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.
Thats y i went with trupurexmm rom. And skipped the sytemless root. Follow post three above

I have flashed 2.66 on a stock rooted rom and also on an AOSP rom. Works on both
Anyone know of a way to root 23.5.A.0.570 from within the ROM?
Of course you can create custom firmware with Flashtool, but is there other way?
Kingroot is useless at the moment.
Hi,
I've upgraded from Lollipop to MM yesterday, but with TFT rom, without root.
Then: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/kernel-advanced-stock-kernel-t3347413
But only works with unlocked bootloader.
I've just unlocked my bootloader and installed this kernel using ADB. But, FULL WIPE in my Z2 :'(
Don't know if was the kernel or just the fact to unlocked the bootloader.
Anyway, make a full backup

Its because of the Bootloader u unlocked.. Unlocking bootloader first time will erase ur all datas..
And there is no need to unlock ur bootloader. Simply go back to KK or LP then root it and install recovery. After that flash a pre rooted MM rom.. Simple
And i think after unlocking bootloader u have lost some Sony features.. Did u make ur TA (DRM) Key backup..??
Why do people think it's too difficult to downgrade to another version of Android, root and install a rooted android mm zip thought recovery?

Are you using Xposed? because after many re-flashes and reinstalls on different things, I think, that for me, few of the xposed mods were causing the loops. For example I miss the immersive mods in games etc and I simply can't get it to work correctly as it was, no matter what I try, so different xposed mods related mostly to that were causing the loops for me. I am currently reflashing at the moment

Oh crap, I knew it, but in the Sony developer's website doesn't show this information...
About DRM, I know I have the backup, but I don't know where, lol. Anyway, in the same topic, there's a procedure to recover the features.

click the link below to check out the procedure for bringing a soft-bricked phone back to a functional stock firmware with bootloader still unlocked, but you will lose twrp and root. read the directions in the link as carefully as possible and you should have a fully working phone with unlocked bootloader, twrp, and systemless root. good luck!

Hello. I'm new to Android and all of this rooting and stuff but I want to try out flashing a custom ROM but I don't know how. Do you need to be rooted? I know about custom recoveries and stuff but I need to know exactly how.
EDIT: My model number is WAS-LO3T
My build number is WAS-LO3TC654B198
EDIT 2: I watched the One Click Root video. Is it safe? Is kingroot safe?

How to root link below (includes unlocking the bootloader). Follow the steps very carefully as this is your first time rooting. I am not to blame nor anyone here on xda if you end up with a bricked phone. If you use android pay this will no longer work, some bank apps will not work either FYI due to root.
At present there is only one custom rom available however this is not specifically made for our device but for the p8 lite. When I flashed it about a month ago there are some bugs still like camera not working. Hopefully some talented people will buy our device and develope a custom rom for us.
