Should be the same regardless of version.
You need the motorola drivers for your computer, adb and fastboot (search for Minimal ADB and Fastboot), custom recovery (search for TWRP) and SuperSU - https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/
Connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable, copy SuperSU to the internal storage of your phone.
Reboot your phone into fastboot mode and flash recovery using:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img <-- name of image that you downloaded and placed into the Minimal ADB and Fastboot directory.
Reboot your phone into recovery and then select Install from TWRP and install SuperSU.
There are lots of guides with more detail, check the Moto G General forum.

[Q] Rooting the H60-L02 with EMUI 3.0

Hey there,
I just received a H60-L02 shipped from Mainland China. Being on OS X, I had no trouble installing adb and unlocking the boot loader.
There is something I don't understand though : to gain root access on my phone, I need to install a modified ROM of Huawei's android upper layer ? Why is that so ? Do I need to find a ClockWordMod H60-L02 EMUI 3.0 Rom to root my H6 ?

Thanks, but I can't do that, insofar as I can't run .exe on OS X. Also, I'm trying to understand the basic concepts of rooting on android, in order not to **** things up by doing things I would do on other linux distribs. From what I get, rooting is installing a modified ROM in which everyone is a superuser ?

rooting is getting superuser access to any rom, if you take a look at the batch file, there is a link where you can download twrp, put it in the same directory where fastboot and adb files are
Code:
adb kill-server
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_2.8.0.1_h60.img
fastboot reboot
adb wait-for-device
adb reboot recovery
fastboot devices
Ok it works. From what I get, twrp is a manager that enables you, once the boot loader is unlocked, to flash whatever you want on your android system. So you flash SuperSu, and it is done.
Thanks a lot for your help and explanations !:good::good::good:

[Q] Rooting Android 5.1 Procedure Questions

Hi everyone! Excuse my limited knowledge on this. I did not see any threads on this question that was specifically related to 5.1. So I just side loaded the zip file for 5.1 LMY47D to my UNrooted and Locked Nexus 5 yesterday. Before doing so I did a facotry reset, mainly to keep it a fresh install and minimize issues. I figured before redownloading all my apps and setting everything back up, I might as well go ahead and finally unlock and root. So my main question is rooting 5.1 going to be the same procedure as rooting 5.0.1? If it is not the same, then can someone point me in the direction of the most reliable instructions on rooting 5.1. I have not found any rooting instructions relating specifically to 5.1 that I would completely trust or that were pretty detailed.
Same method for old version ,
First unlock device , flash recovery via fastboot
"Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Download the latest root zip from chaunfire website or you can find the thread in forum , just flash it by recovery that already flashed ?
Thats all my friend nothing complicated

Thanks! Straight forward! Exactly the answer I was looking for. I thought it might be different since I know there was difference between rooting 4.4 and 5.0. Anyways Thanks I will start checking it out now!

[Q] Help with root.

Hey, so i want to root my Moto G XT1033 16GB dual SIM running android 5.0.2.
I've bricked a smarthone before while trying to root it, so i want some help to root my phone the safest way possible. My warranty has already expired.
Obs: my phone is from brazil, i'm not sure if that changes anything.
I've attatched a screenshot if any other info is needed.
If you have a custom recovery installed you can flash it from there. Go here and grab SuperSU and follow the instructions.

So just to clarify, I have a 6045I factory global unlocked from Amazon, It has never been rooted, bootloader unlocked, nothing. So would I place on SD and apply update through stock recovery, or is there a different method? Really just want root for adaway and xposed. TWRP would be nice, but not necessary. Just don't want a new paperweight. Thanks!
Can i install twrp to flash thid or stock is fine?
You can try windroid toolkit v3.1.
First u have to unlock bootloader then to flash recovery and supersu .
For me it is not recognising my phone hope u will get success.
If try then pls share ur experience.

For me it got downloaded but showing device either offline or unauthorized
I'd run a full virus /malware scan.... I use 360 Security on mobile devices and PC's. It, along with SUPERAntiSpyware has served me well.

Just install the TWRP 3.0 in android development (it has instructions in the thread) and then you can flash the supersu mentioned.

Well the obvious choices are:
1) Use mobile Q to restore to 5.0.2...unlock bootloader, install twrp....upgrade to marshmallow using the modified update.zip that doesn't wipe recovery and finally root using the file mentioned.
or
2) Live with it as it is until someone figures out how to restore fastboot which will probably still require downgrading.

I am waiting some days otherwise i will downgrade
BTW my device is recognized in fastboot but commands not working. It means fastboot is working but commands have been changed

That's the problem. This phone is totally stock with nothing done but the update. I literally charged it, turned it on and 20 minutes later 6.0.1 was nagging for install, which I did. There is now the OEM unlock switch in developing options, but I don't know where to start, or flash.

You must go back to 5.0 to install and then update it because in 6.0.1 update Removes Fastboot commands so you can't install it twrp....
I have a problem with rooting 6039Y on rom 6.0.1 by persona78. Stock rom 5.0.2 and root working fine. When i flash via TWRP after the update to MM i get this message:
-Cheking patch status
---Already patched, attempting to find stock backup
---Stock restore failed, attempting ramdisk restore
---Ramdisk restore failed, aborting
This solution - echo SYSTEMLESS=true >> /data/.supersu - not working.
Phone was simlock removed via furiousgold, maybe this is a problem?

XT2113-5 Android 11 upgrade

Hi, I know I'm making a big ask here. But I picked this model of phone Moto One with the intent of flashing /e/ OS to it. I have the device in hand now and have noticed it seems to be stuck on Android 10. I'm on build QZKS30.Q4-40-64-23 I've went out and grabbed the next latest version of firmware I could find XT2113-5_KIEV_ATT_11_RZKS31.Q3-45-16-8-3_subsidy-ATT_RSU_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml I've also grabbed the TWRP from this same forum. I've already unlocked the bootloader and enabled ADB debugging. Finally I've got the android sdk on computer, I'm running on Mint linux. is upgrading the ROM on this as easy as flashing it from recovery? Or is there more required to go from 10 to 11? I just need to this phone to Android 11 so I can flash /e/ on it. Thanks in advance for any help/advice!
You can't flash a stock ROM from recovery. But it is easy enough from fastboot.

So I lied about the bootloader being unlocked, apparently its not eligible for unlocking due to Motos policies. Is there any other way to get this device to 11 or am I at the end of the road already?
You need to flash the firmware you downloaded in fastboot. There's a bunch of scripts to do this, I think I used RSD-Lite-Mac-Linux last time. flashfile.xml wipes data and servicefile.xml keeps data.
If your at all unsure about the firmware being correct for your device, go to a Windows PC and use the official recovery tool instead.
