I unlocked my moto g2 (2014) XT1068 (marshmellow) bootloader and also flashed the TWRP recovery and superSU. But the root checker says its still not rooted. I tried flashing the latest SuperSU again. But now the phone doesn't boost. It can go to bootloader and TWRP recovery but still not booting. The adb sideload is also not working properly. Any help in fixing it?

Yes Motorola unlock bootloader website, after you unlock you need to flash twrp 4.4 recovery with Motorola fastboot( mfastboot) mfastboot flash recovery twrp 2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img and then put supersu on the sdcard and fire up recovery and install supersu and welcome to the root club
Edit you can not flash or accept the ota with a custom recovery, it will bootloop, but you have options, 1 reinstall stock recovery or flash system and stock recovery if you have altered the system. 2 flash a updated sbf firmware , they are available soon after the ota's come out. I would suggest the later as some people, including me have had issues flashing twrp after accepting a ota

Hey, what type of mtoo x did you get your wife? the regular moto x or a developers edition? I currently have a developers edition and I believe that I just have to install custom recovery and install SU since the dev edition already have an unlocked bootloader, right? what I want to do is buy a custom moto x (non-dev edition) and root it. Is that possible?
I ended up unlocking my boot loader , flashing TWRP, and rooting, and installing Titan Prime V1.0.5 on my XT1064 MOTO G 2014. I wanna unroot have stock recovery and be on Android Lollipop with the ability to get OTA. A little guidance on the process would be helpful!
Use the full-unroot function of superSU and restore to stock 4.4.4 / flash stock recovery.
You can try this tool:

or do it with fastboot;

no need to relock bootloader.
I have a Moto X 2014 Pure that I was trying to root. I said to myself, why not install TWRP? So I flashed TWRP, it gave me 'mismatched partition sizes (recovery)', but according to some other sources, that was normal. I tried to reboot into recovery, it gave me the stock recovery. I said, huh, weird, I'll flash it again. And after that, I was unable to get into recovery at all. Bootloader still works, and the phone can still boot normally, it just appears that the recovery is GONE. If I select "Recovery" from bootloader, it just turns off (seems to at least). I am running Marshmallow 6.0 on the Moto X, and I'm having a hard time finding a stock recovery for it. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

The mismatch is normal because you're flashing a non-stock recovery. Are you using only the volume rocker in bootloader mode? Is your bootloader unlocked?
Get stock firmware from here:
https://firmware.center:8081/firmware/Motorola/
Make sure you don't downgrade.
I am only using the volume rocker in bootloader, which is unlock. I managed to root my phone by temporarily booting into TWRP and installing the ZIP files. However, I still don't seem to have a recovery. At this point, I really don't need one, but I will try that firmware.
Hello,
i am a long time Android User and flashoholic with devices like Moto G, Moto G 2014, Nexus 5 and now the sad and crappy supported Honor 8.
I have to set up a phone for my beloved brother with root and AOSP-CAF! Great phone btw, the Moto G2.
However...
I am totally strugglin to install TWRP!
I unlocked the bootloader and was proceding to install TWRP to further install AOSP-CAF and root. The installation via fastboot went fine:
fastboot flash recovery *LATESTTWRPFORTITAN.img"
It went tottaly okay (as far as the terminal said "okay"). But i cannot reboot to TWRP recovery. Every time i try to boot to to recovery (from fastboot) IT DOESNT WORK.
I think i am doin SOMEthing wrong, but i can`t grasp what exactly,
any ideas?
Hey everyone I just recently got a Moto X Pure with TWRP recovery already installed and the bootloader unlocked, unrooted. The phone was stuck on Marshmallow so I went to update and it would take me to TWRP recovery every time and when I reboot back into the system, I'm still stuck on Marshmallow. So I downloaded an app that would make me download OTA updates while still having TWRP recovery but it needed root access, which I didn't have. I tried all of the one-click root apps but non worked then I stumbled across an easy root method: ( oops it said I can't post links, but basically I downloaded a supersu zip and flashed it) which I followed very precisely and I'm pretty sure I did nothing wrong. But when I flashed the ZIP using TWRP and booted back into system it was stuck on the Motorola logo which I'm assuming is bootloop. I was going to download a stock recovery using fastboot but I discovered that it would relock the bootloader, which would render the device useless to me so I can't. I also tried wiping the Dalvrik Cache but it always failed. I'm new to all of this so please guys I'm desperate for help. Thanks in advance
