How to Root Moto X 2014 on Android 6.0 Marshmallow

Prerequisites

1. Verify your device before you proceed.

2. Make sure you have a custom recovery installed on your device. Latest build fromย TWRPย is highly recommended. Flash TWRP using this tutorial.

3. Make sure you have latest device drivers setup on your PC in order to transfer the files to your deviceโ€™s internal storage. Get it from the official pageย of your device manufacturer.

4. Fully charge your device as the process make take a while.

Installation Instructions

Step 1: Download the necessary files from above. Download the boot for your variant and SuperSU package from the list.

Step 2: Transfer all the files to you deviceโ€™s internal storage or SDcard. Place the files where you can easily locate it.

Step 3:ย Now boot into TWRP recovery. To do so, turn off your device completely and then press and hold the power button and volume down key for a few seconds. Once you see the TWRPย logo, that means you have successfully booted into the recovery.

Step 4:ย Once into TWRP, take a Nandroidย backup. To do so, tap Backup option and select all the partitions including the system, data, boot, recovery, EFS and cache(optional).

Step 5: Now return to the home screen again and tap Install option. Navigate to the Root-Boot file fromย your internal storage and select it.

Step 6:ย Now swipe right on the confirmation action button below to install the ROM.

Step 7: Similarly, flash the latest SuperSU files to update binaries.

Step 8: Once installation completes, you can wipe the Dalvik cache or simply chooseย reboot to system option.

If the system doesnโ€™t boot or you come across boot loop, a factory reset from the recovery should do the trick(but u will lose data). If that fails, you can restore your previous ROM from the TWRP recovery. Follow and share us on social media. If you need any help, then comment down below.
