Download and flash in TWRP.
Hi, I recently installed the lineage 14.1 os and Gapps on my phone but now I'm having trouble rooting it. I tried rooting it with Kingoroot but it reboots on 90%. So I googled it and apparently I need to flash the SuperSU zip file. So I rebooted in recovery and tried flashing the zip. It didn't want to flash at first because the zip verivication was on so I turned it off and the flash said successful. But it didn't work. Can someone help me rooting my phone?

Lineage os is prerooted you can enable root from developer settings
I tried all methods which are there on site but each time same and only problem is coming that is my phone is not getting rooted correctly I tried so many times but when I'll check with root checker it says it's not rooted but I successfully unlocked bootloader but I can't complely root it, can someone help me?
What device do you have and what ROM are you running?
If you're rooting on the stock Motorola ROM, do you have TWRP flashed/booted, then flashed ElementalX? Afterwards, what root managers are you using? You could try magisk 16 or 15.3. However, if you've previously used SuperSU or another root manager, you may have to re-flash the original stock kernel (then flash ElementalX then root) to remove any remainders of the old root managers, else they may interfere with magisk to the point of the root not being stable.
I have Moto g4 plus XT 1643 and I tried to root with by using twrp latest version and lineage os 14.1 athene. The was working fine but my phone is still showing that this device is not rooted

What root manager are you using? The official Lineage OS (as of Jan 2017) does not come with a root manager, you must download and flash your own. You could either use the Lineage_SU_addon (you'd want the arm variant for 14.1) or magisk or SuperSU as a root manager.
I am new in this so I don't know that much details so can you help me by giving me link so that I can go through step by step and try to do what you are saying

1)Download the Lineage SU addon (from here https://download.lineageos.org/extras - you want the arm 14.1 zip) OR magisk (from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 ) Only download one, please and if you want to switch, you ideally want to restore your backup or dirty flash the custom ROM to restore the Lineage kernel.
2)Reboot your device to TWRP.
3)In TWRP backup your device. Keep this backup safe.
4)In TWRP, go to 'Install' and flash the package you downloaded.
5)Wipe cache and Dalvik in TWRP after the flash.
6)Reboot.
7)Verify you have root.

Thank you bro i finally rooted my device correctly . It help alot thank you once again
Hi I'm new to XDA Forums, I was searching for posts about rooting my Moto g4 Plus. I would like to know Why we should flash a kernel before flashing SuperSU or Magisk ? Nb: I just only want the root access. Not in a plan to flash a custom rom. Thanks in Advance.

The stock Motorola kernel in stock Nougat ROMs appears to have anti rooting measures included (I think DM Verity?) If you attempt to root on this stock Nougat kernel, you'll likely soft brick/bootloop your device.
A custom kernel (e.g. elementalX v2.0.1 for stock) does not have these anti rooting defences, so it's safer to root with magisk. I would recommend magisk as super SU hasn't been updated in some time.
It appears that this need to flash a custom kernel before rooting applies to Nougat stock ROMs; marshmallow stock ROMs and the Oreo soak test stock ROM appear not to require a custom kernel.
As an aside, custom kernels and root are not necessary to flash custom ROMs. The only tools you require are an unlocked bootloader and the correct TWRP. The kernels included with these custom ROMs may also have anti rooting measures disabled, so it's safer to directly root without having to use a custom kernel.
[root]Facing issues when i root XT1643 indian variant stock ROM and flash super su and the phone hard bricks everytime.
Steps i followed
#1 Flashed TWRP in fastboot and still i can see TWRP still as default Recovery after booting many times.
#2 downloaded right version of SuperSu zip file from official website and flashed through TWRP.
#3 Bingo! Theres my phone hardbricked every time.
#4 flashed the bootloader with Blankflash file to unbrick.
The surprising thing i got is that when i flash with custom ROM and i root with the same file in the same manner then everything works fine but never works in stock ROM.
Thanks for helping.
to do root in rom stock you need a modified kernel, before installing magisk or supersu, install ElementalX
if you use SuperSu (I particularly recommend Magisk), you need to enable SYSTEMLESS, follow this tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...de-root-moto-g4-plus-supersu-android-t3587918
Hey,
I flashed twrp and then flashed Magisk and SuperSu in MIUI 10.2.4.0, 10.2.5.0 and 11.0.7.0... After flashing and rebooting my phone was not rooted, I tried many versions of Magisk and many times. But didn't work, anyone have any working files?? And does custom rom/kenrel helps rooting the device.
Thank you..
you need to patch the boot img. you can find patched boot img for older roms like that
nvm i had 2 tabs looked the same
