I flashed it using the info from (android. gs/install-twrp-recovery-moto-x- android-4-4- kitkat)
Am I using the correct one? And after that when I try to boot to recovery, nothing happens.

Do it like so
1. Put phone in bootloader
2. Type mfastboot flash recovery name of img.img
3. Then type adb reboot recovery
4. Then install supersu via flashable zip or from the market place
But right after you flash the custom recovery you have to boot into the recovery before you let the device boot up or the recovery won't work.
How this helps

Thank you again for responding.
I am fairly familiar with using CMD and commands but I think I am missing a step. Dont I need to have the window open that contains certain files? I am running windows 8.
Right after I flash the fastboot image I get several options when I do the "hold power and down volume" and none of them mention twrp recovery. It just says "recovery". Is that normal?

Yes click the down volume until recovery is highlighted and then hit volume up to select it but you can just type in the cmd window adb reboot recovery and it will boot into recovery

It worked! The step where I was making the mistake was not booting into recovery immediately after flashing,
Thank you again!!:good:

[SCRIPT] Recovery Flashing Script

Hello Guys! I made this little script for the people that dont know adb/fastboot commands and want to install a custom recovery
This will ONLYwork on UNLOCKED bootloaders.
Make sure "USB-Debugging" is enabled and adb/fastboot drivers have been properly installed
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for bricked devices or nuclear warfare. I made this simple script for those who can follow simple instructions.
1st. Download the Recovery Flashing script from here: http://goo.gl/ZtaUFe
2. Unzip the files to a folder on your desktop, or where ever you would like, just remember where you unzipped it to.
3. Download the recovery of your choice:
[m8][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703223
OR
[RECOVERY][m8] TWRP 2.7.0.0 touch recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2717932
4. Place the recovery you downloaded in the previous step into the folder you unzipped the Recovery Flashing script.
5. Rename the recovery you downloaded to Recovery that way it appears as "Recovery.img" in the folder. If it has and extra ".img" at the end, it will fail to flash.
6. After you have done all the steps above, Simply click the "Recovery-Flasher.bat" and follow its instructions it presents, If you have done everything correctly you phone will boot into recovery at the end of the script
I hope this has made life a little easier for our new comers. Please dont forget to hit the thanks button!!! :good::good::good:

Changelog:
V1.1- Added "Fastboot erase cache" after flashing recovery.

Sorry but you will need a window pc to use this tool. You can download one of the recoveries in the OP then use the app Flashify in the play store to flash the recovery .

Download your stock ROM fromhttp://motofirmware.com/files/category/38-titan/, extract the .zip and flash recovery.img the same way you did with twrp.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Someone posted just the recovery here if you don't want to download the whole ROM:

Easiest for me is: fastboot flash/boot twrp,then install SuperSU on reboot. To go back to stock,reflash firmware.

I'll usually just boot twrp and then install SuperSU. To boot twrp boot into the bootloader anduse the following commands with fastboot.
Fastboot boot <name of customer recovery>.img (example twrp.img). It will then load twrp and you can install SuperSU either through sideloading or installing from the root of your device.

(Q) - Ready to unlock and root.

What is the best way to achieve this without a pc. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: well that was a waste of my time. lol
For no pc:
Install sunshine
Install kingroot
Install flashify
Download latest twrp for quark
Download SuperSU from chainfire.
Run kingroot and attempt to root (it'll most likely fail)
Reboot phone
Run kingroot
It will most likely succeed.
Run sunshine, grant sunshine root privileges follow the sunshine steps
Reboot phone should show unlocked bootloader.
Re-root (again) with king root
Run flashify, flash new twrp quark recovery.
Power down phone
Press and hold volume down while holding power.
Enter twrp
Slide the bar to enable write protection (it asks you first thing)
Reboot phone
Re-root with kingroot.
Kingroot should now be stable.
From kingroot setting menu choose uninstall root.
Reboot into recovery
Flash supersu.

Yes Sir didn't want to mess anything up there are a few people having problems, and was hoping not to be in that group if I can prevent it.

It went really easy for me.
And fwiw that is the steps I took.

Was real simple for myself as well all the way up to su binaries. I had to install the latest beta for it to update.

Ok all I have left to do is flash SU.

Thinking about getting this device or the turbo 2 will I be able to root the Verizon variant?
Sent from my GT-P3113 using XDA Free mobile app

Turbo 2 no. Turbo yes. The droid turbo is Verizon named.
The only way to get a true root is to use sunshine. So if you are opposed to spending $25 you cannot have full stable root.

Got super user installed but won't update, goes through all the motions just not working.

I don't know why some have that problem
It's an easy fix here:

Do you have an HTC? Just bought the m8 for my kid and I'm a little lost.
It's to be used as a tablet and I don't have a sprint sim card or service.
Trying to figure out how to get it up to lollipop.

25 bucks is well worth it, I used sunshine on my replacement htc one to gain root when big red shut down other options

Used the steps MrkHigh outlined in this section worked well.. I just had issue with SUPERSU wouldn't update the binaries after I flashed it so I just installed that SUPERSU.apk from the other thread installed it then they updated now I am rocking and rolling! Thanks!

How to enter twrp?
I cant figure out how to enter twrp
How to flash SuperSU:
After installing twrp enter twrp and enable write protection then reboot kingroot will now be stable. in kingroots general settings choose uninstall kingroot, then reboot into twrp and flash the already downloaded SuperSU zip shown above.
EDIT: I had to run sunshine again I got my bootloader to unlock but lost root when uninstall Kingroot do I install it again. I need to get supersu installed

Download the flashable zip from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu and install it from TWRP. No need to reinstall Kingroot. And to enter TWRP, turn off your phone, and when it's off, hold down the volume down button and the power button at the same time. When the screen comes up, press the volume down button until you see "Enter Recovery" (I think...at any rate, look for the word "Recovery") and press the power button. It should then boot into TWRP. I usually hold down the power and volume up buttons on the second boot...may not be necessary now, but it's an old habit from my Galaxy S3 days.

may carrier unlock after unlock + custom recovery then i flashing this phone??
