Always a good idea to update your recovery to the latest.
Root is IN the rom. I pretty much guarantee that any rom you flash via recovery will be pre-rooted.
If you're unsure of the processes for anything, have a read of all the sticky threads linked in my signature
Flash the latest twrp first, then pick a rom
Latest twrp - https://www.dropbox.com/s/05vh73mstsovz9j/twrp2801.zip?dl=0
Flash in recovery then reboot recovery to check version at the top

CWM is outdated. Use TWRP or Philz

Stock factory images aren't flashed in recovery.. That's why rootsu specifically said recovery

Personally, I've faced many issues with twrp in the past and ever since I've started using PhilzTouch (advanced version of cwm), I haven't looked back!

according to the official thread:
End Of Support
Quote:
Project Status: No Longer Updated
As I mentioned before, I have a lot of new important projects in my real life. I am very happy to abandon this project for real life alternatives.
CWM is a dead project for now, until some dev resurrects it. I was about to do, until these new projects came.
Current version will probably work a while for many devices. Some devices with new ROM installers could have issues. Just use TWRP or the CM Simple Recovery
If the current version works for you, there is no reason you don't use it though. No need to ***** in all threads because it doesn't work for you. Just move on to other alternatives.

but I see that it has been updated 2 days ago...
Philz is good and it works for now. I too had issues with TWRP on my S3, That's why I moved to Philz on that device and brought Philz to the N5.
We may see bug fixes with Philz if the device maintainers notice them. For example, the update 2 days ago was a bug I found and fixed. So if there is something broken, we may see fixes. New features - nope. So lets see what happens when L comes out with its default device encryption. I'm not jumping ship until I have to.

well, most recoveries arent going to be in a flash in recovery form. if its in a zip, you might have to extract it and use fastboot to flash the actual twrprecovery.img or you can use the flashify app(if you have root).

no, its 2.8 http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/205
anyways, im using an old one as well(2.6.something), and everything works fine.
rom and gapps. most roms will need the google apps to be flashed as well, since its illegal to include them in publically distributed custom roms.
the only reason why i havent flash a new rom again because the rom that im currently running is good doesnt really give problems like random reboots
the only thing is its an older version.
and its really tiring thing to start all over again.
anyways any good rom out there?
its close to stock rom with minor tweaks
im on purity rom btw 4.4.2

oh, youll also need to flash the latest supersu(for root) http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
Hello people, I have a question: I've got 2 Moto G, one of them is running with CM12 and I really like it. The other has the stock ROM.
If someday for X reason I decide to get back to the stock ROM, can I use a backup from the celphone with the stock ROM and install it in the other?
I wait for your answer, thank you!

Sorry, but when you say "yup" you mean yes?
The phone needs to be running the same recovery that was used to create the backup.
If you used twrp, you may need to change the folder serial # to the phone with the custom ROM.

Yup. But seriously, I mean yes. I flashed someone's Moto G Lollipop TWRP backup on my Moto G with no problem. I didn't need to rename the folder serial number or anything.
Hey guys, I got my phone sucessfully rooted and installed TWRP. But I don't in the process of installing a new ROM I wiped my device completely. How can I get back to complete stock ? Please help. I have the Canadian Version SM-N915W8. Thank you.

Did you tried the n915A, Is vodafone, but in many places I read both are the same.
PS:
What is the status of the phone...Boot on recovery ? Don't boot at all... Bootloop ??
I've been looking around, but I can't find anything to suggest root is available on the stock kernel. Does anyone know if there is? CF-Autoroot doesn't work for 6.0, and so far all I've found is root for custom kernels but I want all stock.
try this

Thanks for the link, I already looked there and they said "This is a stock kernel which provides root access along with some tweaks". It has tweaks in it, so to me that's modified which isn't stock IMO. Sorry I'm just a fussy person, I've tried custom ROMs and the rest before, but they tend to just screw stuff up for me, even the highly favorable CyanogenMod ROMs, they used to make my phone a furnace at idle! So I like the clean (almost) bug-free, vanilla stock experience on my daily driver device.

You could try Chainfire's modded boot image alone (i.e. without another custom kernel).
Perhaps it more "stock" than others. I just followed his instructions (flashed the boot.img and flashed the beta SuperSU zip in TWRP) and I appear to have root on stock Marshmallow.

I'd say, just flash the boot.img from the factory image.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
If you rooted before, you'll lose root...

I'd recommend the same thing, and agreed, if you rooted using the method linked in this thread earlier, you definitely will lose root!
I'm on a CM13 based ROM and I hear you can't downgrade from it. So my stock lollipop backups are useless now, is that correct ?

I see no reason why your backup would not work. You cannot trust everything people say on XDA.
