[craigwilson9955]

So i can unlock my bootloader on the moto G4 and install TWRP but when i flash SuperSU the devices crashes and i have to reflash the stock firmware as you can guess this extremley annoying thanks any help would be very much appreciated.

yes. this behaviour has been confirmed by several moto g4 users, including myself.
unlock bootloader - OK
install TWRP - OK
root with supersu ? - N...............................O!

Have you tried the manual systemless method?

Open TWRP, then go to Advanced -> Terminal and enter:

echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu

then flash SuperSU?

thanks for the recommendation. saw this method today.
however, i am quite happy with it now. not sure if i'm going to root or not. maybe later.

You should make a new thread with this info, I see a lot of people getting hit with it

Lol... I don't even have a G4, I currently have a G3, its the same way on that one, I just came here to check out the community when I saw how cheap they were on Amazon... I will do a quick tutorial making some basic assumptions about the G4 and it's similarity to other handsets

BTW, the systemless method is not new or exclusive to Moto... The info is out there if you know what to look for.

I know it isn't, but if you don't do systemless on the G4 it fails to boot. I'm seeing a lot of people saying to flash new firmware or a system partition. All you need to do is run your code in the TWRP terminal and reflash superSU and it boots fine.

will it erase all your data after rooting using this method?

i got twrp recovery, then use it for long time (or long enough to have filled so many files). if the root will erase all internal, i have to think about it. another question is about the OTA. can we get any OTA updates in the future after TWRP/rooting?
