Want to Get OTA updates even after Rooting your Device? Here's how.
Use the full unroot option from the Super Su

Now you'll be able to get OTA updates as before

Sorry but I think you´re in the wrong section here. this is the Moto G 2014 (titan) thread. So it should be moved to the Moto G 2015 section. Or, as the process is similar, the thread could be renamed.
Also it should be posted in Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting not in Andoid Development.

No fastboot option in Download Mode

So I'm trying to unlock bootloader using this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/guide-root-install-twrp-htc-one-m9-t3061133
But I get stuck when typing the "fastboot" line, since there is no fastboot option in my Download Mode.
M9 with Marshmallow update.
Any help will be appreciated.

You need to be in download mode for the instructions to work.
There is a video of the procedure:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R6iZ3GtVnQ
Good luck!

That's my actual problem
The procedure shown in the video is made for devices that already have bootloader unlocked, but mine isn't, and the reason is step 2 shown in htcdev.com:
I don't have any fastboot option to highlight.
Also, when typing the "fastboot" command in terminal, I get the "unknown command" message.

U do have fastboot.exe in the folder where u start the command prompt?
Here is another guide:

Oh dear, now another problem since I'm on a Mac. :silly:
I'll get a windows laptop and do as you say, hopefully I'll do it right, otherwise please guide through the process.
It was a lot easier back in the One X days...

So I'm stuck in bootscreen with the red text "this build is... bla bla...", the phone powers off, and then again to the same screen with the same message.
What did I miss?
Also, I was following the steps in the video without reading, and accepted that TWRP root my phone, despite the code saying not to. Maybe that's the problem?
Installed TWRP 2.8.5.0 and SuperSU 2.76
I've already managed to unlock bootloader, because it says: System modified, *unlocked*, s-on

U are already unlocked.
Now, restore a backup, if u did one in TWRP.
If not, try installing a custom ROM, ARHD or Maximus are closest to stock.
Good luck!

Problems flashing TWRP recovery to LG G4 H815

Hi there, this is my first post i think so please be kind.
I am tearing my hair out over my LG G4, because for the life of me I cannot root or install TWRP recovery.
here is the information i think you'll need to help me:
- LG H815 International version (bought in the UK)
- Official Android 6.0 update
- Bootloader unlocked with official LG tool
I have downloaded TWRP and placed it in the folder along with my 'adb fastboot win' tools.
I type: "adb reboot bootloader" and i get the 'Welcome to fastboot mode' message and quick guide.
then i type "fastboot boot twrp.img" and press enter i simply get "cannot load 'twrp.img' : No error"
and that's it. It seems I need TWRP installed to root using SuperSU, but i need root access to install TWRP any other way. I've spent hours and hours trawling through forums for an answer but can't find it anywere.
Any help will be greatly appreciated as I am almost at the end with this phone... :crying:
Thanks!

1. So do you have renamed the twrp file to twrp.img?
2. Give the link where you taken the twrp image from
3. Attach a screenshot of the error message
4. When in download mode type
fastboot devices
And make a screenshot of that output, too

Unlock bootloader LG G4 H815 Marshmallow

Unlock bootloader LG G4 H815 Marshmallow.
Hi I have tried a lot but in vain.
My phone stuck every time at bootloader.
After installing sdk, adb and fastboot driver I gave the command to boot into bootloader every time it boots into bootloader according to the command. But never accept any command when it is in bootloader mod like fastboot oem device-id or fastboot reboot or any other.
So is there any solution?
I wanna Unlock My bootloader.

You need to enable "OEM Unlock" in developer menu (about > software info > build number (tap 5 times))

Hello,
I'm planning to buy this device, specifically the XT1684 or XT1685 variant. Are these specfic variants supported and are there any culprits I should be aware of? For example, is there a possibility of me being locked out like with LG's G/V series devices? Or is the bootloader unlock procedure completely smooth?

thanks for the guide. I have just unlocked it.
Any guide to root it?

Can't say for sure since I don't own the device, but I guess flashing the SuperSU zip in TWRP will do (when the TWRP for this device releases, that is).

There is a thread specific to this here... Seems there was a glitch and Moto was issuing codes for a few days until it was caught and fixed.

The instructions worked for me, allowing to unlock the bootloader. Device was a reconditioned moto g5 plus (XT1685) bought from amazon (not an "amazon exclusive", the international version).
