How to root Moto X 2014 on Android Marshmallow (XT1092 / XT1095 / XT1097)

Need Bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed.

1- Connect Moto X to the computer with a USB cable.
2- Copy the UPDATE-SuperSU-2.76.zip file and the attachment zip (according to the version of your device) to phone memory .
3- Reboot in Fastboot, go to Recovery and acess the TWRP.
4- Install the two zips and reboot.

Your Moto X 2014 running Android Marshmallow 6.0 should have been rooted successfully. :laugh:

If your bootloader is unlocked, couldn't you just flash SuperSU 2.52 beta to obtain root? That's all I had to do on any M ROM, I'm genuinely just curious if there is a reason to not use the SuperSU beta.

In official Marshmallow, if only install SuperSU 2.52 without Custom Kernel, the phone is locked in the boot screen and does not start. The same happens with the Nexus phones.

I didn't know that, so I locked my phone and had to reset it all over --' hahaha

Thank you man?

EDIT:

Can you add this file to the zip for those that use linux distros instead windows?

Just add "Run.sh" to the zip, with this code inside:

#!/bin/bash

sudo fastboot flash boot victara-24.11.18-retbr-boot-root.img
sudo fastboot reboot-bootloader

You need to flash the latest twrp before these steps.

Is it safe to flash root zip without modded kernel as now?

I was wondering the same thing. Now with the latest BETA version of SuperSu 2.61.

It is possible to root using this method in the stock 6.0 installed with RSD ?

Hello can someone help me with step 4 please? I'm confused.

Is there a root/unlock bootloader method for the XT1097 Moto X? Thanks if you can help!

If you are on 5.1, there is no way to do it.

If you are on 4.4.4 or 5.0, you can use kingroot or mofo to get root, then with root you can use sunshine to unlock the bootloader.
