Is there a way to root a stock 6.01 that no longer has root and a working recovery? (Slim Rom 1.3 killed them both)

You could use Flashtool to put an older rom on the phone, root that, install recovery and flash a more recent rom. It will mean losing your current rom though.

OK thanks - that's helpful. so currently it's a downgrade , root, install recovery and then install a rom from recovery.

Pretty much.
Or downgrade, root, flash an upgrade and install recovery. Either way, a downgrade is probably required.

fastboot a kernel which has cwm.
what I did is after installing the JyROM, I flashed(it is mentioned in the steps if I want to get root) the flashable version of SuperSU v1.91(I just guessed this version of supersu because it is not mentioned in the steps what version to use, hehe, but luckily, it is fine after rebooting).
then I installed again CWM.

I recently rooted my sprint htc one (not very pleasant since I had to wipe my whole phone). I have installed TWRP and I am running the stock HTC ROM 4.06.651.4 and have root access. I keep getting the alert for an update from sprint about the 4.06.651.9 update. I cannot install since it takes me to TWRP if I try to install it. Is there a way to install this update without completely wiping my phone again? If so how?

You can flash the stock recovery and download on the phone and install, then when all done, flash TWRP and re-root, thats only if you lose it of course.
Stock recovery: https://www.mediafire.com/?3kwe7hiq9qeusdb
Just flash via fastboot flash recovery Stock_recovery.img
Then install OTA
then flash TWRP again, this should work, as I have done it before.
But not if you have a hotspot hack...
We do need a stock/rooted/hotspothacked 4.06.651.9 build that we can flash via fastboot.
Thank you, that worked perfectly! I am now rooted with stock ROM and 4.06.651.9 without losing any content.

You can try flash image GUI, it's free here on the forums or you have to pay in the play store. I use that to flash twrp recoveries, I don't see how it wouldn't work with stock.

Thankz,By the way.. i have suggested that i could also flash pre rooted stock and den 201 kernel.. any ideas on that?
@ OP You have Q&A so quit PM me and ask all your questions here
The quick answer is yes - use your recovery to back up your rooted stock ROM. If you don't like CM simply return to your back up - it will still be rooted.
Alternatively, you have an unlocked bootloader - so you can flash Doomlord's kernel immediately after returning to stock (the kernel is insecure meaning you can flash a supersu zip in recovery to get root again).
Doomlord's latest kernels are decent and I can recommend Williams kernel too - as good as stock.

I am doing just fine with my moto x.I unlocked its bootloader and flashed supersu to gain root access.I am using xposed with gravity box and have no complaints whatsoever.I am Just taking a second opinion and would like to know how to flash a stock rom. I ahve downloaded the stock rom of my device and have extracted it.How do I flash it via the SDK ? Since I am rooted , do I just flash the recovery after unrooting ( from the app ) or do I flash the whole rom ? I just want to be sure so that incase anything goes wrong I know how to recover.Thanks for your time.
Cheers

Sir..you never need to "unroot".. the easiest way to flash the stock ROM is with RSDLite..but one can certainly use adb also..when you flash the stock ROM..the current recovery on the device will be overwritten back to the stock recovery..then flash TWRP or the other recovery, install SuperSU zip from your storage in TWRP..when you boot the device, it'd be rooted then..but you can gain root only with a custom recovery like TWRP..stock recovery will not work to gain root..if you wish the leave stock recovery, then a root exploit would be required..(if one is available)..
I hope your question has been answered..

If you have the SBF file which matches the rom version on your phone, then there are several ways to flash stock....
See -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-ReturnToStock.html that explains several ways to get back to stock.
Option 2 being the quickest way depending on the mods to your phone and what you are looking to do. Option 5 is the way to flash the full rom and get back to stock via command line using mFastboot.
Hey guys,
After hours and hours of searching forums and trying things, I decided I need help.
I just bought a Z1 (yes, they're still for sale) and I wanted to update the firmware to the newest .283 lollipop. Also, I want to root my device.
I have rooted Android phones before, and I have some experience flashing Custom ROMs etc.
As I have understood I have to downgrade to a 4.4 ROM first, to get root. Then my plan was to install recovery and install .283 Pre-rooted ZIP in Recovery.
So here's what I did:
-Flash 14.1.G.1.534 firmware
-Root using KingoROOT
-try to install recovery
-boot into recovery
-install pre-rooted .283 Lollipop ZIP
-phone won't boot anymore.
I am still able to flash the newest .283 with the FTF file, but then obviously it's unrooted. I also cannot figure out how to flash recovery after flashing .283 FTF. (Flashing recovery seems to work, but I cannot enter recovery via adb or otherwise)
So if anyone can tell me what I am missing, please do!
for what i know the ftf files can't be prerooted. so download a prerooted zip file and install it from a recovery. btw if u're gonna try any custom rom, don't forget to backup your drm before unlocking bootloader. That's a must for xperia devices
Thanks. However, I can't get Recovery to work after flashing Lollipop firmware. And when I downgrade and then flash the ZIP from recovery, the phone won't boot.
I succeeded! The steps that led me to this result:
-flash KK 14.4.A.0.108 in Flashtool
-Root the firmware using Flashtool/SuperSU method
-flash Recovery using Dual Recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647487)
-Flash the Pre-Rooted ZIP in Recovery
-Success!!
