This is a very simple guide to install Android 2.2.
This will unroot your device, revert to stock, and update to FroYo.
Step 1. Download and unzip the original shipping Rom. (I unzipped it to the tools folder so I didn't have to type the full location in the cmd.exe)
http://rapidshare.com/files/3321487...ogle_WWE_1.01.1700.1_ERD79_release_signed.zip
Step 2. Plug in your Nexus One to your computer via USB.
Step 3. Open a Command Prompt on your computer
Step 4. Type adb reboot bootloader. This will boot into the bootloader.
Step 5. Confirm fastboot connection by typing fastboot devices.
Step 6. Erase your Userdata by typing fastboot erase userdata.
Step 7. Erase your Cache by typing fastboot erase cache.
(If step 6 and 7 do not work you can alternately do a factory data wipe within Android. Settings/Privacy/Factory Data Reset)
Step 8. Go to the directory where you stored your unzipped image file.
Step 9. Type fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Step 10. Type fastboot flash boot boot.img
Step 11. Type fastboot flash system system.img
Step 12. Type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Step 14. Fastboot reboot
Step 15. Boot into Android > Settings > About > Update > Download and Install (This should be update-1)
Step 16. Download and copy the following zip to your SD card, and rename it update.zip
http://coblitz.codeen.org/www.romraid.com/paul/nexusone/signed-passion-ERE27-from-ERD79.a487b405.zip
Step 17. Reboot in to the recovery. Power+Trackball > Bootloader > Recovery
Step 18. Press Vol Up+Power
Step 19. Apply update.zip
Step 20. Finish and reboot.
Step 21. Copy the following to your SD card and name it update.zip
http://bit.ly/beSwQm
Step 22. Reboot in to the recovery. Power+Trackball > Bootloader > Recovery
Step 23. Press Vol Up+Power
Step 24. Apply update.zip
Step 25. Enjoy

Hi,
First off, thanks for the guide. Big help for us noobs around.
I'm stuck at step 4, though. When I try to ./adb reboot bootloader in Ubuntu 10.04, I get the following error:
error: insufficient permissions for device

Click to collapse
I'm currently investigating the possible cause and solution, but any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: found the solution, I'll post it here in case it happens to anyone else:
./adb kill-server
sudo ./adb start-server
sudo ./adb reboot bootloader
Seems you have to kill the server and then restart it again with sudo.
@FRIEDjellyWALNUT
Thats exactly what I came from.
So yes, I confirm it works.
@frandavid100
If you are in Win7 or Vista, right click cmd.exe and run as administrator.
Then try.

Notice: Rooting your device will break OTAs because they require an unmodified system, so you might want to check for updates before rooting your X. However, there is a workaround:
Boot into TWRP via step 5E below, but DO NOT flash it (step 5D)!!
Do a backup of your completely stock, unrooted ROM
Root the device by flashing SuperSU...zip
When an OTA hits, you can get it by doing this:
Boot into TWRP again without flashing it (same as step 1 above)
Restore your stock, unrooted ROM (from step 2 above)
Apply the update from stock recovery
Backup the unmodified ROM with the update if you want, then re-root as above.
Note: You will lose any changes, mods or app data since you did the backup, but hey, at least the OTA is applied.
If you get stuck with an update that won't flash and you haven't backed-up your unrooted ROM as above, look here:
[Guide] How to Install OTA's with TWRP, and please hit thanks for @SpiritBreak3r :good:
_____________________
Disclaimer: Rooting does not void the OnePlus X’s warranty, though damaging your hardware (i.e., burning up your CPU by overclocking, hardbricking the device) will. You proceed at your own risk! I accept no responsibility for what you do with your phone. Follow the directions closely, and the odds are you will succeed without any trouble. If you are not sure what you are doing, do some more research before you try. If you get confused with terminology, try looking here for answers or Google it. If you get stuck, post a question in the thread—we're here to help you.
Preliminary steps
1. Make sure that your phone is always charged above 50%!!!
Running out of battery in the middle of flashing something could brick your phone.
2. Make sure that your computer can properly communicate with the device:
We will be issuing commands to the phone from your PC via the USB cable using Android’s SDK tools, in particular ADB and fastboot. If you have not done so already, you must install the following on your Windows computer for this to work:
Java runtime
The Universal Android ADB Driver for Windows.
SDK tools for Android (alternately just ADB & fastboot). Remember where this is installed on your harddrive for later!
You can verify the connection between your PC and phone by running the following procedure:
A. With the phone booted normally, connect it to your computer with the USB cable.
B. Enable Android debugging by going to Settings > About phone and tapping on “Build number” 7 times.
C. Go to Settings > Developer options and check “Android debugging”. A dialogue box will appear asking you to authorize your computer’s RSA fingerprint. Click “Always allow...”

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
D. Open a command prompt in Windows and navigate to the folder where you put SDK tools for Android (ADB & fastboot) above.
E. Type the following command:
Code:
adb devices
You should get a return like this:
If you cannot get the connection to work:
1. Check your USB connection, then verify that Android debugging is enabled in settings and that your computer’s RSA fingerprint has been authorized.
2. Still not working? Open Device Manager in Windows and make sure that you don’t have a yellow exclamation point next to something like “Android Device” or “One.” This would indicate a driver problem that must be resolved. Try re-installing the Universal Android ADB Driver for Windows, and make sure to restart your computer. Once you’ve rebooted, if you still have a yellow triangle, right-click on the device and select “Update Driver Software,” then “Search automatically for updated driver software.”
3. If you still have a yellow exclamation point, then try forcing the driver to install:
In Device Manager, right-click on the device and select “Update Driver Software.”
Select “Browse my computer for driver software”
Select “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”
Select “ADB Interface” from the list
Select manufacturer “Google”
Select “Android Testing Interface Version xxx”
Click “Next.” If you get a warning, select “Yes” to continue and wait for the driver to install properly.
3. Know how to enter “fastboot mode” on the OnePlus X
To root the device, you must be competent at booting it into fastboot mode. There are two ways to accomplish this:
Power off the phone. Then simultaneously hold down the volume up & power buttons until it vibrates. When done correctly, you will see the words “Fastboot Mode” on a black screen. If not, you dumb-thumbed it, and the device will boot normally into Android. Power off the device and try again.
With the phone running Android normally and Android debugging enabled (see above), open a command prompt in Windows, navigate to the folder where you installed SDK tools (ADB & fastboot) and type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Rooting the OnePlus X
There are three essential steps to rooting the device:
Unlock the bootloader
Flash or boot into TWRP custom recovery [For OxygenOS 3.1.3 use TWRP blu_sp★rk r175]
Flash SuperSU...zip from recovery [For OxygenOS 3.1.3 use SuperSU v2.78 SR1 beta]
However, we're going to add a few more to protect your data and device in case something gets borked.
1. Backup your phone’s data
Unlocking the bootloader will involve doing a factory reset resulting in the loss of all accounts, emails, texts, apps and app data, pictures, music, etc. on the device. Move anything you need to keep onto your PC or a cloud service like DropBox.
2. Unlock the bootloader
2A.Go into Developer Options and enable bootloader unlocking
2B. Boot the device into fastboot mode. (Simultaneously hold down the volume up & power buttons until it vibrates.) You should see a black screen with the words “Fastboot Mode”.
2C. Plug in the USB cable.
2D. Verify that your device is connected with this command:
Code:
fastboot devices
You should get a return like the image above under Preliminary Steps
2E. Unlock the bootloader using the following commands:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
The device will unlock the bootloader, erase all user data and reboot itself into Android. You will have to set up everything from scratch.
3. Re-enable Android debugging
3A. Re-enable Developer options by going to Settings > About phone and tapping on “Build number” 7 times.
3B. Go to Settings > Developer options. Check “Android debugging” and re-authorize your computer’s RSA fingerprint.
4. Download SuperSU zip
4A. Head over to Chainfire’s CF-Root thread and download the SuperSU access management tool from the “CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP” link. It will probably called something like UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.XX.zip. This zip file will root your device and install the SuperSU access management app in one smooth motion. Hit the thanks button for Chainfire or donate to his Paypal account and buy him a Coke.
NOTE: For OxygenOS 3.1.3 use SuperSU v2.78 SR1 beta
4B. Copy UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.XX.zip to your phone’s SD card.
5. Flash TWRP custom recovery
5A. Download TWRP recovery.
NOTE: For OxygenOS 3.1.3 use TWRP blu_sp★rk r175
5B. Place file you downloaded above to the location where you installed SDK tools (ADB & fastboot).
5C. Boot the device into fastboot mode and connect it to your computer with the USB cable.
5D. In this step, we will replace your stock recovery with TWRP recovery.
Note: This step is optional. If you want to root but preserve stock recovery, skip straight ahead to step 5E below. Thanks @rockuppl for the reminder. :good:
Open a command prompt in Windows and navigate to the folder where you installed SDK tools (ADB & fastboot). Type the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.0-0-onyx.img
5E. Reboot into TWRP recovery with the following command.
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.0-0-onyx.img
You should now see the custom recovery you just flashed, not the stock recovery.
6. Backup your stock ROM before making any changes
In TWRP press “Backup.” <--- See how simple this is???
Don’t be a noob—backup your device!!! Right now we don't have stock boot debuggable image files for the OnePlus X, so borking your device could leave you with a nice paperweight until we do. :crying: Restoring from a backup in recovery is easy, and only works if you've backed-up first
7. Root the device
7A. The device should still be in recovery from step 6 above. Go back to the main menu and press “Install,” find UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.XX.zip on the SD card, then flash it.
7B. Reboot the phone. It is now rooted!
7C. Go to the app drawer and open SuperSU. Update the binary if prompted. Its icon looks like this:
7D. Download and install Root Checker from the Play Store to verify that you have root access.
Yes I already own the phone and I see the bootloader unlock switch in dev options. I also checked the stock recovery which gives options to flash files from phone memory or otg. So it must be fairly easy. But I still don't want to risk it without it being tried and tested. If there were a custom recovery I could have also backed up the factory image. Only choice is to wait and see I guess
I could try today evening... will update here.
@CafeKampuchia
Is it ok to flash supersu.zip with stock recovery.
Before flashing supersu.zip, will unlock bootloader . Will follow the guide from oneplue two procedure to unlock..
Flashing supersu is safe on hundreds of devices, but I don't have the X so I can't say one way or the other.
I tried the OnePlus One tutorial to unlock bootloader and root it thanks to this guide.
When it comes to install TWRP, adb tells me it's ok but when I boot into recovery, it's the "official" one that show up.
Even from this recovery, I tried to install the SuperSU.zip, but it keeps telling me it failed, so I think I'll just wait for someone to do it correctly

I wouldn't try flashing a recovery for another device, especially if the stock recovery isn't available.
I'm surprised that supersu wouldn't flash from stock, though.

Well I thought that TWRP was for all devices and I already went to the stock one before installing TWRP without success to flash SuperSU.
But apprently, installing TWRP the way I did wasn't the right way because I still boot to the stock recovery :/

Hi, after unlocking bootloader, you are not able to update/flash supersu.zip from stock recovery? right?
if it so, then we need to wait for custom recovery to flash root.
Thanks.

No, TWRP is definitely not for every device. You have to use the version made for your specific device.

Hello, a couple of days ago I wanted to upgrade to Marshmallow but I couldn't find a proper detailed guide to do it, so in this thread I'm gonna show you how to install latest Sony's Concept 3027(latest version), how to unlock the bootloader, how to install TWRP, how to root your phone, and how to install Xposed.
I made this coming from stock 5.1.1, but it should work for other ROMs and versions too (You must be rooted though).
During this process, you will wipe your phone and unlock your bootloader, so make backups of everything you need.
Let's begin:
0- Make sure your bootloader is locked, and can be unlocked. To check this, go to dialer app, press *#*#7378423#*#*, service info->configuration, under "Rooting status", "bootloader unlock allowed" should say yes. Notice that at the top of your screen says IMEI, note that number down, you will need it later.
1- First of all, download all the necessary files:
ftf file(ROM v.3606): https://cloud.mail.ru/public/48SH/AyETJ63bw
SuperSU 2.76: https://download.chainfire.eu/969/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip
TWRP Recovery 3.0.2-0: https://dl.twrp.me/z3c/twrp-3.0.2-0-z3c.img.html
Xposed Material apk: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=19668&task=get
Xposed installer v86(sdk23-arm): http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk23/arm/xposed-v86-sdk23-arm.zip
Flashtool: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
Fastboot driver: dl-developer.sonymobile.com/drivers/downloadinf_v1.01.zip
TA backup tools: https://github.com/DevShaft/Backup-TA/releases
BACKUP TA PARTITION
Make sure to be rooted before proceeding. You won't be able to backup TA properly without root!
2- Unzip the TA backup tools downloaded in step 1.
3- Connect your phone to the computer. Run backup-ta.bat.
4- Follow the instructions.
INSTALL THE ROM
5- Now, install Flashtool. Once installed, go to "C:\Flashtool\drivers" and install flashmode and fastboot drivers(You will need to disable driver signature verification on windows 8/8.1/10).
6- Take the ftf file previously downloaded and move it to "C:\Users\username\.flashTool\firmwares
7- Open Flashtool, click on Flash device->Flashmode. The ftf should appear on the list. Check Wipe APPS_LOG and USERDATA. Click Flash and follow the instructions. If it asks to use a script, click no.
8- This process may take a while, be patient.
9- Boot your phone normally, you should be on Concept version 3606.
10- Go to Settings->About device-> Software update.
11-If there is an update available, take it. Your phone will reboot and install the update. Repeat this step until you don't have any more updates.
Okay, until now you have installed latest unmodified Sony's Concept ROM, if you don't need root or Xposed, that's it, you have finished!
UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER
Warning: Unlocking your bootloader voids your warranty and makes you lose some stuff, as detailed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/loss-drm-keys-t2890936
So make sure to make the TA backup in order to recover those things when you relock your bootloader in the future, if you want.
12- To begin, you need your IMEI number, that you noted in step 0.
13- Go to this webpage: http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
14- Select Xperia Z3 Compact, click Continue, enter your email address
15- Click the link they sent you via email. Enter your IMEI, click Submit.
16- At the bottom of the page there will be a code, similar to "fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xA8873D989C26BBBB", copy it.
17- You need to install the android SDK now, if you don't have it installed, or don't know how, there are plenty of guides on the web.
18- Open it, make sure to install "Google USB Driver Packager".
19- Go to "C:\Program Files\Android\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver" and copy the Fastboot driver downloaded in step 1.
20- Turn off your phone. Press the volume up button, and while doing this, connect the phone to your computer. It should boot into fastboot mode.
21- In your PC, go to "C:\Program Files\Android\sdk\platform-tools". Hold shift, and right click inside the folder. Click "Open command window here".
22- Type "fastboot devices" in the command window. See if your device shows up. If not, you did something wrong with your drivers, make sure that your SDK installation is correct.
23- Now copy the line you copied in step 13. Hit enter.
24- Your bootloader is now unlocked. Reboot your phone, it will wipe all your data, so you have a fresh install of the system.
INSTALL RECOVERY
25- Enter again into fastboot mode. That means, turn off your phone, hold volume up, and connect it to your PC.
26- Copy the TWRP Recovery downloaded in step 1 to "C:\Program Files\Android\sdk\platform-tools".
27- Rename it to "twrp.img".
28- Open a command window.
29- Type "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img".
30- That's it, now you have TWRP installed.
ROOT PHONE
31- Copy "SuperSU 2.76" downloaded in step 1 to your phone.
32- Enter Recovery mode.(Easiest way is: enter fastboot, use volume keys until "recovery mode" is selected and press the power button to enter it.)
33- Click Install, search for "SuperSU 2.76-2", swipe to confirm. Reboot your phone.
34- Done, you are now rooted!
INSTALL XPOSED
35- Copy "Xposed installer" and "Xposed apk" to your phone.
36- Enter Recovery mode.
37- Install "Xposed installer"
38- Reboot.
39- Install "Xposed apk.
40- You finished!
This is the end of the guide. Hope everything went fine for you. Feel free to post your doubts, if any! Cheers

Is there a way to modify some of your steps for who, like me, has already unlocked the bootloader? Just to avoid the relock-unlock and make the procedure shorter.
ps. actually I'm on concept 2157 from @jenkins-84 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/rom-t3232674).
What?
You let the people unlock their bootloader without any warning about the TA partition?
If you lose the DRM keys you can't get them back forever, do you know?
This is what you lose without DRM keys:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/loss-drm-keys-t2890936
You HAVE TO backup your TA partition before unlocking and the only way is following these instructions:

I really hope nobody has followed your guide without doing so

Add a warning too.
Losing the TA partion can affect the warranty in some countries!

DRM fix
On Marshmallow 2157 and 2178 I managed to get back the DRM features without Keys by installing this.
I am not sure if it works with your method, but you can try.
If you already lost your TA partition (and keys), you need to do the following:
1) Relock the bootloader: Connect your phone in flash mode (press volume down when connecting the USB cable). Click the BLU icon, then click Relock.
2) Install a Kitkat ftf with TA partition included (23.0.1.A.5.77): Use Flashtool to install the ROM in flash mode (volume down). If it asks to use a script, click no.
You must wipe data (check APPS_LOG and USERDATA boxes), otherwise the method will fail!
3) Unlock the bootloader again (Click the BLU icon in Flashtool, then click Unlock).
4) Install Androplus kernel V19c with TWRP recovery here (most newer kernels/recoveries do not work!): Connect in Fastboot mode (volume up), then flash the boot.img from the zip.
5) Go into recovery (press volume up during boot when the notification light goes on).
6) Flash the Marshmallow ROM by jenkins-84.
7) Flash the drm restore zip V2 (the old version).
8) Wipe data and reboot to system.
If you tried the new DRM restore V3 (without the complicated method of flashing Kitkat first) please report back whether it works for you on Marshmallow!

Hi I have a problem with loading recovery
systemallica said:
Hello, a couple of days ago I wanted to upgrade to Marshmallow but I couldn't find a proper detailed guide to do it, so in this thread I'm gonna show you how to install latest Sony's Concept 3027(latest version), how to unlock the bootloader, how to install TWRP, how to root your phone, and how to install Xposed.
I made this coming from stock 5.1.1, but it should work for other ROMs and versions too (You must be rooted though).
During this process, you will wipe your phone and unlock your bootloader, so make backups of everything you need.
Let's begin:
0- Make sure your bootloader is locked, and can be unlocked. To check this, go to dialer app, press *#*#7378423#*#*, service info->configuration, under "Rooting status", "bootloader unlock allowed" should say yes. Notice that at the top of your screen says IMEI, note that number down, you will need it later.
1- First of all, download all the necessary files:
ftf file(ROM): https://mega.nz/#!hNUG0D4C!vLWdsP-N0f9KNH3I7YKHz1dWcfBsEUP07ZvJXHCk_aQ
SuperSU 2.65: https://download.chainfire.eu/752/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip
TWRP Recovery: https://dl.twrp.me/z3c/twrp-2.8.7.0-z3c.img.html

Xposed installer v79: forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3580247&d=1450386638
Flashtool: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
Fastboot driver: dl-developer.sonymobile.com/drivers/downloadinf_v1.01.zip
TA backup tools: https://github.com/DevShaft/Backup-TA/releases
BACKUP TA PARTITION
2- Unzip the TA backup tools downloaded in step 1.
3- Connect your phone to the computer. Run backup-ta.bat.
4- Follow the instructions.
INSTALL THE ROM
5- Now, install Flashtool. Once installed, go to "C:\Flashtool\drivers" and install flashmode and fastboot drivers(You will need to disable driver signature verification on windows 8/8.1/10).
6- Take the ftf file previously downloaded and move it to "C:\Users\username\.flashTool\firmwares
7- Open Flashtool, click on Flash device->Flashmode. The ftf should appear on the list. Check Wipe APPS_LOG and USERDATA. Click Flash and follow the instructions. If it asks to use a script, click no.
8- This process may take a while, be patient.
9- Boot your phone normally, you should be on Concept version 2157.
10- Go to Settings->About device-> Software update.
11- You should have an update available, take it. Your phone will reboot and install the update. Repeat this step until you don't have any more updates.
Okay, until now you have installed latest unmodified Sony's Concept ROM, if you don't need root or Xposed, that's it, you have finished!
UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER
Warning: Unlocking your bootloader voids your warranty and makes you lose some stuff, as detailed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/loss-drm-keys-t2890936
So make sure to make the TA backup in order to recover those things when you relock your bootloader in the future, if you want.
12- To begin, you need your IMEI number, that you noted in step 0.
13- Go to this webpage: http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
14- Select Xperia Z3 Compact, click Continue, enter your email address
15- Click the link they sent you via email. Enter your IMEI, click Submit.
16- At the bottom of the page there will be a code, similar to "fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xA8873D989C26BBBB", copy it.
17- You need to install the android SDK now, if you don't have it installed, or don't know how, there are plenty of guides on the web.
18- Open it, make sure to install "Google USB Driver Packager".
19- Go to "C:\Program Files\Android\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver" and copy the Fastboot driver downloaded in step 1.
20- Turn off your phone. Press the volume up button, and while doing this, connect the phone to your computer. It should boot into fastboot mode.
21- In your PC, go to "C:\Program Files\Android\sdk\platform-tools". Hold shift, and right click inside the folder. Click "Open command window here".
22- Type "fastboot devices" in the command window. See if your device shows up. If not, you did something wrong with your drivers, make sure that your SDK installation is correct.
23- Now copy the line you copied in step 13. Hit enter.
24- Your bootloader is now unlocked. Reboot your phone, it will wipe all your data, so you have a fresh install of the system.
INSTALL RECOVERY
25- Enter again into fastboot mode. That means, turn off your phone, hold volume up, and connect it to your PC.
26- Copy the TWRP Recovery downloaded in step 1 to "C:\Program Files\Android\sdk\platform-tools".
27- Rename it to "twrp.img".
28- Open a command window.
29- Type "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img".
30- That's it, now you have TWRP installed.
ROOT PHONE
31- Copy "SuperSU 2.65" downloaded in step 1 to your phone.
32- Enter Recovery mode.(Easiest way is: enter fastboot, use volume keys until "recovery mode" is selected and press the power button to enter it.)
33- Click Install, search for "SuperSU 2.65", swipe to confirm. Reboot your phone.
34- Done, you are now rooted!
INSTALL XPOSED
35- Copy "Xposed installer" and "Xposed apk" to your phone.
36- Enter Recovery mode.
37- Install "Xposed installer"
38- Reboot.
39- Install "Xposed apk.
40- You finished!
This is the end of the guide. Hope everything went fine for you. Feel free to post your doubts, if any! Cheers

When a new update appears, you must again do all the steps?
Man, i love you <3
Nice guide! You might want to add an extra warning on step 2 ensuring they are rooted before proceeding. If I remember correctly, backupTA will run even if you aren't rooted but it won't copy the partition over. Some people who don't read/pay attention might think they backed it up when they actually didn't.

The only difference for Ubuntu would be the way to install Flashtool (Google it) and how to install adb and fastboot (since you can easily do it with apt-get).

Just flash the FTF without flashing userdata in Flashtool, re-flash TWRP, and (optionally) root.
Your bootloader won't magically re-lock, and your TA keys won't spontaneously make their way back onto your device for you to back them up.

What does 'fastboot devices' say?
It might be a driver issue, though since you're on Windows that's hard as hell to fix. Try another PC, or boot up Ubuntu from an USB key.

:fingers-crossed:How to get root Moto G 2015 With Stock Android Marshmallow 6.0 (XT1541)
Hi guys. Now I have a Moto G 2015 XT1541 with previously unlocked bootloader (following Motorola Guide described here, be careful unlocking bootloader wipes everything!) with recently installed Europe Retail Stock ROM MM 6.0, but i was having some issues trying to install TWRP 3.0 and SuperSU 2.65....until now.
With latest SuperSU you will get bootloop, and probably you need to reinstall the stock rom completely.........but... ....This method works fine!
Try it yourself on XT1540, XT1542, XT1543, XT1544 and XT14548 variants
So, I have used TWRP twrp-osprey-2.8.7-r7.img for the recovery and Super SU Beta 2.62 (BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip) to get root on my device.
Get TWRP recovery and ROOT
Step 0: enter to developer options (tap 7 times the build number) and select Allowing USB debubbing and Allow OEM unlock options
Step 1: install TWRP 2.8.7-r7 entering to bootloader mode
Turn off the device, press power and volume down and wait for two seconds. device will show bootloader mode in black screen, connect it to the pc through usb cable
Step 2: Paste twrp2.8.7-r7.img file into folder \Android\sdk\platform-tools and rename it to recovery.img (this requires previously installed Android SDK Tools, but you can do the same with MinimalADB
open cmd in windows, navigate to the platform-tools folder location and write this line:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Wait until ok message appears in cmd
TWRP will appear, and press reboot System. Enter bootloader mode again and type in CMD the following:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Wait until ok message appears in cmd. After that, press in bootloader mode the recovery option, you will enter to twrp and now new recovery becomes permanent, press Reboot system.
Step 3: copy BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip file into the device and after that, disconnect it from usb
Step 4: turn off the device, enter bootloader mode as stated in step 1, and select the recovery option with the volume up and down , press power button to enter to recovery and twrp will appear instead of original recovery.
Step 5: in twrp press install, select location of the Beta SuperSu File, select beta Super SU zip file and allow installation swipping to the right side and wait until it finish.
Step 5.1: after flash Super SU, wipe dalvik and cache through twrp, pressing the wipe dalvik/cache button located in left side.
Step 6: in twrp press button reboot now.
Wait a little while android rebuild the cache.
The device will enter to the home screen. check that super su app is installed

}
Note: if twrp offers to you install SuperSu dont let it. That causes a bug.
Step 7: Install Root checker and check if you are root.
Thats all folks!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plus 1 - If something goes wrong you can reinstall Stock as described in this repair guides. Check here the firmware and here the reinstall instructions
Plus 2 - How to delete the Motorola annoying unlock bootloader message:
Step 0: connect the device to the pc, copy unlocked_logo.zip file into the device and after that, disconnect from usb
Step 1:
Turn off the device, press power and volume down and wait for two seconds. device will show bootloader mode in black screen
Step 2: In bootloader mode select with the volume up and down the recovery option, press power button to enter and twrp will appear
Step 3: in twrp press install, select location of the unlocked_logo.zip File, select that file and allow installation swipping to the right
Step 4: in twrp press reboot now. The device will boot without nagging window.
Excellent instructions. First time I saw detail to flash TWRP in a manner that does not revert back to stock recovery.
One recommendation, after the first boot to recovery, make a clean (pre-root, pre-cutom recovery) TWRP back up to your SD Card. If anything goes wrong, just flash this backup.

Man I wish read your advice last night before I used one of those automated programs to root (installed latest super su) and bootloop city. I figured I would make a backup right after rooting.
I recovered by installing a close to stock 5.11 rom with twrp but would like to get back to MM without starting from scratch.
Does anyone know of a Stock MM rom (not ASOP) that can be installed with twrp?
If you get that The phone is not allowed to unlocked The bootloader when i try, how can i unlocked it then

I've had it do that on a new flash and I just held the power down until it shut off and when I turned it back on it boots normally.
Thanks, did not understand why the latest version not started, I see that you can not install a more current than version 2.65.

Make sure you have a portable SD Card installed. Then simply boot TWRP, set back up location to SD Card, and make back up. If you never used TWRP, you may want to Google it and learn a little before your first attempt.
roouted my device, everything ok
Just to report, it worked on my XT1543 (dual sim, 1GB)

Couldn't get this to work on XT1541 with 24.44.1.osprey_reteu_reteu.en.EU reteu with the instructions mentioned in the first post.
I got things to work by using the latest SuperSU and forced it to install in system-less mode. This worked quite well.
1. First go to bootloader using power+volumedown or from PC:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
2. Then boot TWRP (3.0.0-r2 in my case worked fine):
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-osprey-3.0.0-r2.img
3. Now copy SuperSU to the phone:
Code:
adb push BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-20160228150503.zip /sdcard/
4. Next make sure SuperSU will install in system-less mode:
Code:
adb shell
echo SYSTEMLESS=true > /data/.supersu
5. Install SuperSU by pressing "Install" in TWRP, select BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-20160228150503.zip and swipe. After installing you should see in the log that it used system-less mode. Now you can "Clear Cache/Dalvik" as well.
6. Now reboot. It should show the "Warning Bootloader Unlocked" screen once, then reboot, then show it again and this time it should continue booting into Android.
Hi guys, for me I had NO problem flashing "BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip" using "twrp-osprey-3.0.0-r2.img" on MPI24.65-33.1 Build number XT1541 (+ Allow OEM unlock options)
You may be have got attracted to those new roms out there on the internet and would have probably bricked your device.Or maybe did some modding and in worst case somehow your phone bootlooped.
so please follow the guide for unbricking or solving bootloop issues:
CAUTION:
[1] FIRST OF ALL, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE.
[2] NEVER UNPLUG THE USB CABLE WHILE FLASHING IS IN PROGRESS.IT MIGHT PERMANENTLY BRICK UR DEVICE..
ONLY FOR ZENFONE 5,A501CG/00CG
download the required files:
[1] kitkat firmware: for zenfone5(a501cg/00cg only other zf5 users download appropriate firmware from asus support page): http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/A500CG/UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.21.40.44-user.zip
[2] adb/fastboot files: from here
[3] device drivers:if you do not have device drivers download and install pc link on pc from asus website,it will automatically install device drivers on your pc.(download from: http://liveupdate01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/LiveUpdate/Release/ZenFone/APP/LinkRim/PCLinkSetup.exe)
IF U R BRICKED PROCEED FROM STEP 2 ELSE FOR BOOTLOOP START FROM STEP 1:
step 1] try booting into recovery and perform a factory rest and wipe cache if this solves the bootloop(in most cases it should).if it still bootloops then follow the following tutorial
step 2]extract the fastboot files on the desktop and paste the firmware(it will be in .zip)in the fastboot folder
step 3]after copying the firmware also extract and copy the recovery.img and fastboot.img file from the firmware into the fastboot folder. (don't remove original firmware zip)
now your fastbootfolder should contain fastboot files+recovery.img+fastboot.img+firmware you dowloaded(compressed in .zip)
step4]boot into the fastboot by switching off the phone and powering it on by power+vol up key until asus logo comes up
if u r returning from some other rom u need to relock the bootloader so scroll some below to see how to relockbootloader.
step5]once you booted to fastboot ,open command promt in fastboot folder (downloaded earlier) by pressing right click+shift in any blank space on folder screen and selecting open command promt here.
in cmd write:
step6]
Code:
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
step7] fastboot reboot-bootloader
wait until reboot is complete then write
step8]
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
step9] now we will be erasing data and cache for a clean flashing
Code:
fastboot clear data
fastboot clear cache
both of them take time and screen may turn off to save power so don't panic
next use volume keys to navigate to recovery and select it using power key .once your phone boots up showing android with belly open symbol press and hold volume up+volume down until recovery menu appears.if that does not open recovery try this:
hold volume down button, click and release vol up button,,,then finally release vol down button.
i admit it brothers,,it is sometimes really difficult to boot into recovery...but keep trying,,it is a bit difficult but is fruitful
if it doesnt appears it may be due to unssucceful flashing, unplug usb cable,force switch off phone by holding power button for few seconds.now again boot in bootloader by power button and vol up key and repeat from :step[8]
once in recovery select apply update from adb
step10] write on cmd
Code:
adb sideload <downloaded firmware name>.zip
for convenience you can rename firmware to kk.zip or any thing you like so command will be adb sideload kk.zip(it may take 15 to 20 mins)
step 11]once thats done select wipe data and cache in recovery and at last select reboot from recovery menu(dont skip this else you may face freezing on welcome screen itself)
hopefully you will boot into homescreen and be patient first bootup may take upto 20 mins.
[UPDATE] HOW TO RELOCK BOOTLOADER{only for zenfone 5 other device users pls google the procedure}
(USE THIS ONLY IF U R RETURNING FROM ANY CUSTOM ROM ITS NOT NEEDED FOR BOOTLOOPING PROBLEM)
hi guys i know u will be needing to relock the bootloader while returning to stock rom..
so what u have do is use the following steps before flashing fastboot.img that is before STEP [5] mentioned above
[1] download this file (its a zip file extract it using password zenfone-five.blogspot.com)...(link=https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0o7qWuG7vvVRE9CV0hJWGRJS2c/view?usp=sharing)
[2]follow the on screen instructions
after the bootloader is locked carry on the steps from step[5]
PLEASE NOTE---THE UNLOCKING/LOCKING TOOL PROVIDED ABOVE IS NIETHER WRITTEN NOR OWNED BY ME...ALL CREDIT GOES TO ITS RESPECTIVE DEVELOPERS
this method can be used for:
1]unbricking
2]returning to stock rom
3]bootloop issues
IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO BOOT INTO FASTBOOT(maybe stuck on usb logo)--see this: http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=33800 it is written by asus guys and will help you
