[Q]Need help getting root with 6.0 on XT1064 - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just updated to 6.0 via official OTA on my XT1064
Bootloader is locked currently and everything is stock
I know I have to unlock the boostloader first but has anyone found clear instructions that they tested on the XT1064 to get root with the 6.0 update?
I found plenty of threads but they mix instructions for various models and versions of android
Im looking specifically for XT1064 and stock 6.0
I bricked my device already once previously and another time the rooting via boot.img caused wifi to stop working
I am not willing to use my device as a test subject anymore.
Anyone who has been able to root stock 6.0 on the XT1064 please help and simply point me to what worked for you
Thank you

[Q] newbie with questions

What does "bricked kernel" mean? I have a HTC one, rooted.
It is a european model which I believe is called M7?
When I google to get the kitkat 4.4, I get too many different solutions Need some advice on what to download since I have no idea which one of them that is good.
It's been some time since I used the phone, but back then I rooted it and did a "s-off or on"-thing.
Downloaded and installed some "pacman"-theme ROM that was ok.
But I want to delete this now and update to 4.4 kitkat, but want to keep the phone rooted.
Anyone that can link to a "step-by-step" guide on how to do this?
I downloaded a rom called Smasher X 5.1
Is this rom "based" on the kitkat 4.4?

Need help with Moto G 2014 XT1064 and 5.0.2 root and no wifi

So after upgrading to 5.0.2 I attempted to root my phone which killed the wifi.
Seems this is something to do with the boot.img
After attempting different things to correct the issue my phone got bricked and had to be sent to Moto
Now I just got it back and want to make sure not to brick it again. I have read a bunch of different threads and some have firmware that is no longer available or files that others say not to use
Can anyone please point me to instructions that still work today on how to root the XT1064 and have wifi working with latest OTA 5.0.2?
Thanks

Where was your problem? Unlock bootloader, flash TWRP 2.8.6.0 through fastboot ( fastboot flash recovery "name of the recovery" ) and flash latest superSU 2.4.6.
There are a lot of threads about it here on xda, check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=58913714 If you follow the instructions exactly there should not be any issue according WiFi.

million-dollar idea = hard brick bootloader

I watch all the forum ... and nothing .... It strikes me the idea that solving this problem can handle only champion. I am not and I tried on all methods.
Why XDA no solution ??? XDA's largest community of Android developers I know. There must be a solution, and I want to find him here!
Help if you can, even God
thanks
at least tell us, what seems to be a problem? As for now, it sounds like you're going to pay a milion-dollars for someone who will hardbrick your bootloader. Am I right? Send it to me, I'll hardbrick with my hammer for that cash.
I think his problem is that is Bootloader IS hardbricked and NOT that he wants it hardbricked.. BTW I have a similar problem. I installed Android 6.0 on my xt1068 using The Indian soak test update. I then decided I wanted to downgrade back to 5.0.2 and my phone is now dead completely... So yeah an answer would be nice here. Thanks
One should try to install only system, recovery, radio partiotions.
Every update Moto updates fs structure, changes bootloader and radio. These are critical and should not be installed.

More like they shouldn't be downgraded.

I've bricked my boot loader by downgrading and have taken it in for repair to my local cellphone repair guy and he told me it's dead and unfix-able. I was told to go to Motorola to get them to fix it except THERE is no Motorola service at all for South Africa... So I'm screwed?

XT1064 Marshmallow update saga: Unlocked bootloader, no wifi unable to flash

Have been running on 5.0.1 (consumer cellular version). Tried to upgrade to marshmallow following the thread and that's where all problems began. After trying to flash through twrp, lost wifi. Bootloader is unlocked. Now the device is not recognized in ADB/Fastboot either...totally stumped after spending hours on this!! looks like the phone is now an official brick! Any last words of wisdom?
EDIT: painstakingly managed to get back to 5.0.2 stock. Device is root and twrp installed...now is there an official 6.0 version available for xt1064?

I want to downgrade from CM 12.1 to stock firmware (xT1068)

Hi guys,
I flashed CM 12.1 almost a year ago and now I would like to give the phone to a relative and I would like for it to have stock rom and to be OTA update-able. I've read dozens of topics and still not sure what are the exact steps to doing this without any errors or softbricks. Some topics mention to skip fastboot of motoboot.img others don't.
The phone had European firmware and it's the dual sim version. I just want it to be as it came inside the box and to be able to update it to the latest version of android (6.0 I guess is the last for XT1068)
I know people got errors after downgrading and making any OTA update so.. that's why I'm asking.
Thanks!
LE: my bootloader is unlocked, it's version 4883 and I also installed TWRP recovery.
Also I skipped motoboot etc.... and after the Stock OTA Update my second Moto G2 is hard bricked very nice. So, please flash 6.0 directly
