One thing has nothing to do with the other.
Lollipop requires some changes to have root access and that was only possible with a modified kernel.
Now Chainfire managed to root the Lollipop without a custom kernel.
But installing ZIP file of root need a custom recovery , so still need to have the device with unlocked bootloader .
I've done the root Lollipop using this new root method of Chainfire.

If you read the article it appears that there is no need to install a zip in a custom recovery to get root with this method.
" the need for ramdisk modifications was concerning for many users of bootloader-locked devices for which no unlock is available (yes, they do unfortunately exist). The answer to their prayers is now here"

Hmmm interesting.
Then the process should be with CF-Auto-Root .
I used one of those before when I first root in Lollipop.
But thought the command "mfastboot boot cf-auto-root.img" only work with unlocked bootloader and not the locked too.
Amazing.
Me excite!
You can only flash signed zips, so this only makes it easier because you dont need a device specific package for rooting

OF course
This revelation means that Android 5.0 users*no longer need to run a modified kernel to gain root access via SuperSU (or other root solutions). While not a huge problem on Nexus devices with unlockable bootloaders, the need for ramdisk modifications was concerning for many users of bootloader-locked devices for which no unlock is available (yes, they do unfortunately exist). The answer to their prayers is now here, and we can present an exclusive explanation of the changes needed. At least for now (until/unless Google patch this), it is possible to gain root access and then install and use SuperSU on a stock Android 5.0 device, without any kernel ramdisk tweaking. The reason for this is the need for SuperSU to run a service as root, to allow for unconstrained root access on SELinux-protected devices.
Bump. We need root. Can't believe nobody seems to be working on a workaround. No safestrap? No kexec? No root? What happened to our glorious hackers?

No, CDMA will not work, nor 3G. So you will be confined only to LTE service and Google Voice (or similar).

Looks like your idea will not work and maybe that's the reason for this thread? Pure Edition won't work on VZW
Hi, the G4 root was made available today and without asking for ETAs (I know ya'll hate that), I'm curious as to how many ROMs and Kernels you think will be made available for it over time? Do you think that there will be as many available as there were for the G3? I do understand that these things take time and a lot of hard work, and I'll be patient, but I'm still super excited to get mine on stock lollipop and improve the battery life (maybe?).
I'm sure enough will be out soon. Wait a day or three.

Patience young grasshopper. All will be well.
I had almost given up hope on my G4, but now. I see the light at the end of that glorious 16MP OIS camera which I have grown to love, roll on the roms and amazing dev support we all saw for the G3.
I just want to know what apps or widgets can I remove from the T-Mobile g4 that will help the phone have a better battery life or have better performance

You cant install roms without a custom recovery, and in order to get cutom recovery you need the bootloader unlocked. Only model currently able to unlock the bootloader is the EU model.

You can unlock the T-Mobile version by checking enable oem unlock under developer options. Once rooted you can use flashify to flash twrp. Its under original android development under the tmobile g4 forums if any other t mobile users need it. I've already used it to create a backup and it's working fine.

Pretty much this.
Root simply means we have access to system files to manage them according to our own liking.
In order to flash ROM's, your bootloader needs to be unlocked. The reason why root was so easily available on the H815 EUR model is because the bootloader was unlockable officially through LG, which meant simply flashing a custom recovery, in this case TWRP, then flashing SuperSU.zip gives you full root access. H815 EUR users have had it good for a while now, I sure envy them! But once a method to unlock the bootloader becomes available, we'll be able to flash custom ROM's and the whole lot. As with anything else - it's just a matter of time.
Just going to hop in here to state that I'll be working to bring AICP to the G4 ASAP.

Been there, done that today. Got TWRP installed and got rid of the extra crap Tmobile put on here.
I would just be happy with a debloated stock rom with some added options such as center clock and to clean up the status bar icon clutter (alarm, NFC, 2 data icons, battery mod.

I honestly do not know why OEM's don't let us do that already. It's so utterly bizarre. In this day and age, we really shouldn't have to go to such extents for slightly more convenient/better looking icons in the status bar.
At least Sony lets its users customise the status bar a bit. My Xperia Z3+ lets me customise what icons are shown, but won't let me move the clock or change the battery icon.
The G4 will be a speed demon if it gets CM12.1 My only worry being the camera and if it'll still produce amazing shots. I know that the physical camera itself with its f1.8 aperture lens is the reason why low light shots are amazing, but I wonder how much of it is down to the software's post processing. Time will tell, I hope.

Yeah, the G2 never got an unlocked bootloader. Loki and Bump got around that.
I've been searching the web for weeks and found nothing about this model of the Moto X Play, only found that is part of the Verizon RLA program. Only found Stock Rom in a Chinese site that takes ages to download nothing else.
Anyways if anyone know more about this model of Moto X Play XT1564 Please post here.
Model Number: Moto X Play
SIM: Single Sim / Factory Unlocked / GSM
Hardware SKU: XT1564
Android Version: 5.1.1
Baseband version: M8936_2020614.27.03.21.36.03R LUX_LRA_CUST
Kernel Version: 3.10.49-gc1b8c26 [email protected]
System Version: 23.21.25.lux_lra.lra.en.US
Build Number: LPD23.118-25
Roms, OTAs anything is appreciated

In US is called like that but in Puerto Rico is Moto X Play (LRA) Carriers Open Mobile (CDMA) y Claro PR (GSM) both comes Factory Unblocked.

Oh the Droid Maxx 2 is listed as an XT1565 I believe.
I did some searching and I think I found the same post as you. I would honestly try to get an unlock code the normal way from Motorola and see if its actually able to be unlocked, you may be surprised. If you get the code, you can try flashing the TWRP recovery we have for the Lux phones.
If you're brave enough anyway. If that worked, I'd attempt a nandroid backup for safety then try flashing some roms or just rooting it.
If I had the phone personally, I'd probably attempt it. Hopefully you can get the original firmware though, but you may be able to convert it to an XT1563 single sim.
I'm in the same situation, I got Moto X Play from Open Mobile. The same happened with my last phone, a GS 4 mini I had with Open as well so yea, though luck with our LRA version phones :S.
Could any of you guys post a link to that chinese site? At least having a copy of the original ROM helps.
I have the stock firmware 5.1.1 I will upload it to mega for others to download faster. It took me 7 hours to download that file from the Chinese site. Uploading to mega. I'll post here when finished.

There's only one way of finding out by flashing a Rom, I would suggest starting with Tesla Rom as it has multiple setting under data for both GSM and CDMA.

Well if you're on verizon, you'll be waiting awhile but always be cautious, moto phones are prone to hard bricks when flashing bootloaders, more than a few dozen folks hard brick the original moto x from 2013.

What version of TWRP did you flash? I'm having trouble getting it to be permanent. That said, I also tried to flash crDroid as well as a number of other ROMs and there was an error and none of them flashed properly.
Hello Guys,I have Successfully rooted my motorola droid turbo su4tl-49 without using sunshine or moforoot.I did by first using vroot then iroot then kingoroot then atlast i tried kingroot apk downloaded from kingroot.In 3rd attempt my cell phone was rooted successfully.
I have rooted set.Can i install xposed framework in it without unbricking it?
Can i also unlock its bootloader?
I am able to delete system files like verizon cloud app ,amazon kindle etc.
It doesnot work if you will use directly kingroot,you must try all these app first.i tried this on two turbo sets
Whoever wants to know step by step i can guide you how to root this.root fix occur every time by kingroot but remains rooted.
I have not installed adaway or xposed or twrp i dont want to be brick.need help to do this
I tried this on 2 turbo still result the same.its because i used many exploits .
I can give proof and can live explain to me if someone wants proof i can show i am not lying.u can send me your whatsapp or imo contact,i will show you rooting it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBEa9Q__AeM&feature=youtu.be
Please watch this video as a voice recording how i did this
And when you reboot, it's still rooted? It's not hard to have temp root but doesn't do any good since you can't really write to system to make changes.
With unlocked bootloader you can have permanent root.
Excuse us for being very skeptical.
when i reboot its still rooted

You still haven't convinced us it's permanent root that can make permanent changes to system. Install Adaway. Install Xposed and modules. Install TWRP custom recovery so you can flash zipped files. Install SuperSu. Do that and report back to us.

Either something is rerunning a temproot each time, or he has a device that for some reason has no write protection (engineering device, already unlocked or bad flash controller).
If the first one, its not going to last with the mm patch, nor would it remain stable. Many things will just break.
If the second one, then its specific to his phone.

Motorola not open for rooting or unlocking bootloader? Where did you get that idea? Yes they are. You get free unlock codes from Motorola -- unless you have a Verizon model.
It's Verizon, not Motorola that is the problem. They demand the locked down bootloader. All my Quarks have free bootloader unlock, straight from Motorola. They are very helpful.
But Sunshine paid exploit takes care of the Verizon problem. How do you think this phone has 9 Marshmallow ROMs, and a Nougat ROM? I'm not even counting all the custom Lollipop ROMs. Bootloader unlock and root, baby.
This guy says he rooted (permanently) without unlocking the bootloader through Sunshine. Which is impossible with the Droid Turbo, unless he has a magical phone (previously unlocked, and he didn't know or some hardware flaw that allowed it.)

Here's the current custom Nougat (7.x) Quark ROMs to choose from. More will be coming!
[ROM][7.X][All quark] crDroid Android
That ROM started on 7.0 right now, and is already 7.1.
Here's the current custom Marshmallow (6.0.1) Quark ROMs to choose from:
[ROM][All Quark][6.x.x]Resurrection Remix
Bliss Rom 6.4 by Team Bliss
[ROM][6.0.1][OFFICIAL][QUARK] MoKee OpenSource Project
[Rom] NEXUS EXPERIENCE 10.4 [MotoMaxx] (recently updated to Marshmallow)
AOKP - Android Open Kang Project[6.0.1][Marshmallow]

[ROM][2016-09-17][Quarks][CM 13.0 Unofficial][6.0.1] (hybrid of CM13 and Resurrection Remix)
That list is in no particular order.
_________________________
You can also install a Marshmallow stock ROM released by Motorola for the Brazilian Quark. @iiWoodstocK adapted it so it runs on ANY Quark, including the XT1254 Droid Turbo or XT1250 U.S. Moto Maxx (clone of the XT1254). It will use YOUR radio, whatever you have installed.
[ROM][6.0.1][Stock][Odexed]MPG24.107-70.2 Brazilian 6.0.1 for XT1254[TWRP Flashable]

http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/development/rom-mpg24-107-70-2-brazilian-6-0-1-t3426234
I didn't include it in the list above, because while technically it is a custom ROM, the only "customization" was to allow it to be flashed via TWRP and to allow it to be used on ALL Quarks: XT1254/XT1250/XT1225. Otherwise, it's pure Motorola Marshmallow stock which was officially released for a Quark phone.
iiWoodstocK said:
this ROM is just factory Marshmallow with a modded build.prop. I didn't include any radio in the .zip, so it uses whatever is currently on the device. Aside from my build.prop tweaks, this ROM is even usable for Brazilian XT1225 users, but the device will say it's a Droid Turbo and contain useless CDMA build.prop lines.

Hi guys. I was really tempted to root my Moto G5 (XT1675) and besides there is a thread giving instructions about how to install TWRP it doesn't give any indication about how to root the device. And there is one started by @Johny Cipeli here but he could not confirm the root installation in MOTO G5, as he only has a MOTO G5 PLUS. So as you see I wasn't very confident about rooting.
Well, I did it at the end and in resume I followed this guy's youtube guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWLR8JnZ7z0 but instead of flashing the potter version of TWRP, I used the CEDRIC one. One important thing is that you should use the Magisk v11.6, don't use the newest one cause it didn't work for me (Magisk was working but not the root). Use the one that the guy attaches in the video. Anyway I put the magisk version here in the attachments (once you flash it you will have root automatically as it's shown in the YouTube video).
Here is a proof of my rooted device: http://imgur.com/a/LQkgs

Nope. If you check the name of the file it starts with CEDRIC. The alias of our MOTO G5 is CEDRIC, and the one for the Moto G5 Plus is POTTER.
The link is for MOTO G5 CEDRIC
I successfully rooted my phone(CEDRIC) with this thread's tip + @johnycipeli's 'How to ROOT Moto G5's thread!

Make sure you are not using the newest version of Magisk and using 11.6. 12 does not work.

I rooted one of following 2 ways first if custom ROM I rooted with lineage ROM add ons super user.
And to root on stock ROM majisk 11.6 did the trick after flashing the file and then quick online search for majisk manger ver 4.3 install and open and you will have root :good:

Iv spoken about this before - depending on your country rooting doesn't void warranty
In the UK you can root your phone & not void the warranty as long as what ever you do is not the direct cause of the fault
Companies may play hard ball but that's the European law - they have to prove rooting the phone caused the fault & if it's a hardware fault unless you stupidity over clocked something or flashed wrong firmware etc they can't prove it
Anyway the only person who can decide to root is you so no point asking

Haha your warranty will be well out of date by time brexit happens
Thanks for giving me my laugh for the day
And on a serious note - it would make no difference - you still have to battle the company - Just make sure you flash stock rom before sending your phone off for repair if possible
