Flashed twrp, wrote fastboot reboot and held volume down power and booted, selected recovery with up arrow - not power.Phone is unlocked, but when issuing step 7 I end up with the split screen (img_0952). Any help appreciated. Tried flashing recovery as well but nothing happens.
Does twrp work for you? I did the same without successFlashed twrp, wrote fastboot reboot and held volume down power and booted, selected recovery with up arrow - not power.
the fast boot link (step 1) is broken i think. helpI will update the method as and when newer methods are available!

Procedure
- Download mfastboot-v2 extract its content and use that for unlocking Bootloader
- Unlock your bootloader From Here
TIPs:
- Unlocking bootloader will wipe your device, Backup your photos, music, contacts using applications in play store or whichvere method you prefer
- The motorola site tells us to download the android SDK, You can skip that big download and use the fastboot in step 1
- Follow the further steps given on motorola's site, After clicking on Request an Unlock Key, You will get an email which will consist guideline to proceed further!
- Clicking on Request an Unlock Key is the point where you lose your warranty
- Download The TWRP recovery from here(thread) or here(Goo.im) rename it recovery-twrp.img and move it in the same folder as of step 1
- Download The SuperSU from here(thread) or here(chainfire.eu)() and copy it into the root of your internal memory!
- Connect your phone to PC and Reboot to bootloader by pressing VolumeDown+Power button for about 6-7 seconds.
- Go to the directory in step 1, Do Shift+RightClick in empty space in the folder without selecting anything, Select Open a command window here.
- Run following command
If facing errors refer to TIP No. 2 and 3Code:fastboot boot recovery-twrp.img
[*]Now touch doesn't work in recovery straight away, so wait 60 seconds without touching the phone, The phone screen will go blank.
[*]Press power button and do swipe to unlock to get your touch working again!
As Motorola released source code for the kernel, @cybojenix has fixed the touch issue, you can skip to step 10 directly!- Select Install, scroll down and find the SuperSU Zip downloaded in step 4.
- Swipe to confirm, wait untill the flash is complete and then select reboot, to boot into your phone which is rooted now
- Check your app drawer, There should be SuperSU installed. Congratulations you are rooted!
TIPS:
- Downloading things from the thread link is a better option as the hotlinks may get outdated, Thread links will not!
- If you want to install twrp rather then just booting into it for once, you can use following command to flash it permanently
Code:fastboot flash recovery recovery-twrp.img
- If stuck on Boot Logo of Motorola (blue M), @JerryGoyal has provided a Thread Here to solve the problem using CWM instead of TWRP.
- According to the method you can download CWM and Rename it to recovery-cwm.img in place of TWRP in step 3. Execute other steps the same
- And in step 7 Replace the given code with
Code:fastboot flash recovery recovery-cwm.img
- In CWM Touch doesn't Work to scroll Use Volume Buttons and Use Power Button to select the choice
- in Step 10 you would select Install from sdcard
- If you do something wrong and stuck somewhere, The stock firmwares are available for restoring.

Reply if any issues! I'll try my best to help!
Hello everybody,
I have a Moto E XT1524 with Lollipop 5.0.2. I could unlock it with the unlock code, but I can't root it. I tried several images of cmw and twrp (for example twrp-2.7.1.0-condor.img), but each time I boot to bootloader, and I type the command "fastboot boot ....img", I am blocked on the Motorola logo. I am afraid to flash the recovery with that image, I don't want to brick my phone.
I would like to root my phone to move some data on the sd card. For example, I installed NOVA 3, and I would like to put the data on the sd card with link2sd (1.57 gb of data, that's big !). Does someone could help me ?
Thanks in advance

having same issue with trying to download the TWRP onto the device.
Minimal ADB and Fastboot opens cmd.exe is good
downloading the moto_e_twrp2.7.0.0_v1.2.img onto downloads in firefox is good
Phone going into fastboot on phone and using fastboot devices showes my device number.
when i try to flash the phone with fastboot flash recovery recovery-twrp.img i get the error
target reported max download size of 299892736 bytes
error: cannot load 'recovery-twrp.img': No error
only thing that does not look correct is when i transfer the moto_e_twrp2.7.0.0_v1.2.img from the firefox download
to my computer or to the minimal ADB and fastboot file,
it looses its .img at the end of the file name? so i rename it to recovery-twrp.img
i dont know if that is the problem?
