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CWM is outdated.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!

I on the other hand have never ever had any problems with twrp across various devices

I had a lot of issues with TWRP on my S3. We're you having issues on this device?

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Project Status: No Longer Updated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
i need to go back
yes you can. simply flash any custom rom u like..
Did you find any issues in MM?
Don't do it. First of all check if the bootloader got updated. Newer bootloader won't accept 5.1.1. If you updated via OTA you can't go back. Only option is CM13.

Is better flash Marshmallow firmware, than update via OTA. As I understand, you downgraded your phone to LL and if you update via OTA there is a risk of getting a brick.
See this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-fastboot-flashing-factory-t3187750
You have to factory reset, don't forget.
I still have the 12.1 - YOG4PAS2QL Incremental update pending, as I did not want to go through the process of removing root and changing my recovery for a little update. Will I still be able to receive the CM13 OTA or do I have to update my device first? Thank you =) And also, if I do not plan on waiting for the OTA can I just flash(not sure if the right word) CM13 directly? Do I still have to remove root and change my recovery? Thank you. If okay, where could I find the easiest to understand and best thread to follow?
You will not get OTA, you have to update phone first. Best way is to download CM13 snapshot and clean install it.

thank you, do i update it to the incremental and then the cm13? also, would that delete anything?
I'm in the process of temp root to extract boot img for a dev that still does work for our phone. He'll most likely use that to continue development for AutoRec but after I'm done with that I think I'm about done with having nothing available in terms of software on Marshmallow. Considering rolling back to Lollipop. Is it gonna be a pain and are the resources readily available?

I don't think there's any antiroll back. But you can't rollback to lollipop. You'd have to roll back to KitKat and OTA update to lollipop as long as your using an AT&T sim.

If I click OTA update then it'll bring me all the way back up to Marshmallow though right? What would make it stop at Lollipop?

If it does bring you all the way back to MM then you'd have to flash a custom lollipop rom then.

You seem like you know you're stuff so let me ask you something. If there's no perm root for Marshmallow why are people still making Marshmallow ROMs? What's the benefit in running a custom ROM with no recovery, backups or root permission?
you NEED root and recovery to load custom roms. people make marshmallow roms because they're tried/true/stable. the OTA updates happen in stages. at&t has no single large update that brings you from KK straight to MM, you have a couple updates in-between though not sure how many... at least one!
@hyelton - is there no root for stock MM yet or do I have to downgrade using LG tool in windows then root?

You would first have to downgrade using LGUP. There's no root for MM
