How to Root MOTO X PLAY XT1562 Running Android 6.0.1

[Roadboss2]

It supposed to work but I got xt1562 so I haven't personally checked this on xt1563 so I can't guarantee that. But in the previous thread people rooted their xt1563 using this method.

I have a xt1563 after some effort I got my 20 digit unlock code.
When I power up my phone on fastboot , I don't see the prompt on my computer that it is connected. but phone says it is.
In the command window , I don't seems to be able to get the "fastboot devices" to show its presence.
Does USB debugging needs to be activated ? "OEM unlocking" button ??
Thanks

without systemless command you should use version 2.62-3

You should use 2.79SR3 (or newer, but that does not exist by now), it recognizes Motorola devices as needing systemless. I triggered that. No Echo line needed anymore.

i was halfway there and i first installed supersu and then i remembered that i have forgotten to wipe. so i wiped and its now stuck on booting screen "WARNING BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED". Is there any way that I can get it out of this Loop(=it shuts down and then reboots back at the very same message). Any way I can flash the system.img? Or just make it shut down and just try to boot into recovery.
[EDIT_1]
The battery just died, so I managed to boot in recovery mode by POWER+VOL_DOWN, should i first flash the system.img and do the process from the very beginning?

Didn't you make a back-up of old system? If not then Boot into recovery and flash any other rom.

Disadvantages of rooting stock ROM

I'm thinking of rooting my phone since it is now out of warranty. I am not really interested in running custom ROMs. Just want to get the benefits of root on the stock ROM (Ad-blocking & some other apps that I'm interested in need root).

I was wondering what are the disadvantages of rooting the Stock ROM?

1.> Will I be losing out on OTA ROM updates?

2.> Any way of preserving the existing app data?
Typically Titanium Backup & other apps need root access to backup. But unlocking boot (to get root) will wipe out existing app data. This creates a chicken & egg problem.

3.> Any Google apps that might refuse to run with root?

4.> I have some recollection about news of mobile payment apps that won't run run with rooted ROMs.
Are any of the Indian mobile payment apps (PayTM, MobiKwik, etc) incompatible with root?

Ohhh Man...
U should go back to clean stock rom.

...

- For ad blocking you don't need root. Usually dns66 is fine.

- OTA is only possible after restore boot partition (=unroot), and you may find that some app which required root changed something disabling OTA (alter system). Be careful what you do if you want OTA to be possible.

- mobile payment should work fine if you use Magisk with MagiskSU, but no warranty. Checks get changed.

- if bootloader is already unlocked, there usually is no data loss when rooting

- everything not checking if su exists usually stays the same. Rooting means just that you allow some apps to switch user by calling a binary called su.

Also note that while root can be hidden using magisk or hidesu, Xposed absolutely cannot. So if you want to use that, you will have to accept breaking Safetynet.

Will this work on moto x play running 7.1.1(stock rom)

I have huge doubt this method will work on stock Android 7.1.1 because the bootloader unlocking method in 5.1.1 and 6.0.1 is it different so we'll this workon 7.1.1 or there is other methods. Because if something goes wrong i don't my phone to get break.

After your device is unlocked: Boot current TWRP for X Play and flash current Magisk. That's all.
