[Q] XT1053 Need help with Root

[stevenx37]

I have the dev edition of the moto x 2013. I've unlocked the bootloader successfully. I flashed the Recovery img with this command

mfastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-ghost.img

and flashed the SuperSU.zip (UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40) through the Recovery successfully. But when I checked to see if it was rooted with Root Checker Basic, it said the Device wasn't.
I'm sure that I've done all the steps right in this guide Guide on "Rooting Unlocked Bootloader". Please Help
PS: I'm new to all this rooting and stuff. Sorry if there is a post out there that covers this. I couldn't find any posts that say this guide didn't work.

Did you download SuperSU from the play store? ?

Thanks for the video guide! I'll check into it later, as it is kind of late here...
No I did not install SuperSU from the play store. I got it from the link the guide provided me. and sorry I can't post a url since i'm new to this forum

You still at need to install SuperSU. You've flashed the binaries in recovery, but need the app if it isn't in your app drawer.

If it is in your app drawer already, open it... See what it says.

Okay. I installed it, updated the binaries, and it flashed for me... It works now. I see why the app is needed. Thank you!!!!
Eh, Quick question, does it matter what android version i need to do a nandroid backup and is it easy?

Android version is irrelevant to make a backup. Yes it's easy... Just go to backup in your recovery, click.... Done. ?
