Hello,
I continue to try rooting my phone but I don't understand because the process doesn't successfull while Twrp works well and install supersu works fine.
I precise I done the same procedure with Magisk and the result was the same.
After reinstall stock ROM and press " Revoke USB DEBUGGING Authorization" my device was finally recognised by adb.But after installing TWRP this option didn't appear in the settings dev mode.:confused:
After flashing supersu.zip I reboot my phone but no icons and no applications on it.With the file manager of Twrp I have a supersu folder with a file Superuser.apk.I tried to install it with adb but not success.

For info I did many attempted with this :
twrp-3.0.3-n2-athene_shreps
twrp-3.0.2-0-athene.img
SR2-SuperSU-v2.79-SR2-20170103215521
Magisk-v17.1

On forums it says to do this but I don't understand explanations very well :
Code:
C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb uninstall eu.chainfire.supersu
/sbin/sh: pm: not found
Did I try with an another recovery?Wich?Or Twrp version?

I 'm very desesperated because I read many docs and It is two weeks I try to root phone and even I have learned I don't see more what the problem is.:(

Did you know that you can only root the stock rom when you use elemental x kernel?

Not at all.In all the docs I read (xda and stack especially but around the web too) nobody talks about this method.And xda root's tutos are mainly based on twrp and root's app as Magisk and Supersu.But I don't read all posts no more.I 'm going to read docs about elementalx because it seems a good way too.
Does I uninstall TWRP or it is better to keep it ? Or going back to stock rom only?

I also saw that some customised roms are pré-rooted?is it useful for something?So I will try your method.My phone restarts well at each time until now so it seems not damaged for the moment also I can try different methods.Hope it lasts

I steps especially two guides of rooting Moto G4 plus in the specified section of my phone on xda forums.And no redactors use Elementx because I'm under Marshmallow and not Nougat so I don't see your thread (I'm too young to have a signature that's why I couldn't precise it but I will done it next time).And most videos on you tube no more (I found one yesterday and it installs elementx BEFORE supersu).
And I restore stock after a research on the forum (link "Official stock firmware" is dead on index Moto G4 plus page (link you done to me).But I could restore it thanks to a guide of forums https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/real-official-stock-rom-xt1625-xt1642-t3575895

Be sure I respect the rules of the forums (see my previous threads)and I always precise that I search on the forum before to post.But your link doesn't appeared on the top of my research:confused:I should have gone further on results,sorry:eek:

I'm going to restore my stock and try your method after updating to Nougat.Perhaps it will works now.
I marks it as solved and going to read all the guide.Thanks for your advises.

No problem, but you didn't mention that you have marshmallow :eek:

Nevertheless, updating to nougat brings some benefits like security patch update and also other things.

Hello strongst I have a very good news.My phone is finally rooted :victory::victory::victory:
After your post and researchs I said yesterday on my previous post I found a video which explain how to root with elementx (for marshmallow) as you advised me.If it hadn't worked I would try update to Nougat and test with your links.But all was sucessfull and finally Supersu icon appeared on my home screen and works.

But I couldn't install apk manually (I want a maximum open-source phone and workaround Google apps :p
When I type to my apk to install it "can't open the file" displays.
So I installed root-checker via adb from pc (adb devices + copy your apk in your adb folder + launch cmd or shell + adb install path_to_your_app.apk).It works well.

For those who have the problems I find this :
Some screen dimming apps work by overlaying the whole screen with a translucent window, and letting touch events pass through to the activity below, but for security reasons, you can't interact with system dialogs (such as the package installer) through another activity.
Go to Settings/Applications.Click on the wheel on the top right-corner (settings) and "overlap with other applications" and disable them all (or the principal but I have few apps for the moment).It works for me.

I finnaly can snatch some rest and my eyes will be gratefull .Thank you again for you advice about elementx because I shouldn't find this video .......in Portugese despite of reading a lot of videos and tuto,post,blog etc....

:highfive:
