Good morning all.
Recent OTA has hosed my phone. I was thinking of rooting. However, I've never rooted a moto and it's been a while since I rooted at all. I found a couple guides and just wanted to make sure https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/how-to/guide-how-to-root-moto-z-supersu-t3551113 was still good. Any other tips or info would be greatly appreciated.
Any idea why the latest version of SUperSU (released yesterday by ChainFire, 2.81 is not working on our Moto Z Phones?

So I've had the G3 for a while but haven't played with it at all like I have with some of my old phones. I'm not currently rooted and have already taken the Verizon update to Lollipop VS98523C. Can I even root my phone in it's current state? If I can root, what root method would be the best one. I've seen a few different ones. If I did root are there even ROMs that would work for my phone. I'm most interested in putting CM on it. Sorry if this has been asked before, but I've searched the forums quite a bit and haven't found this information. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Downgrading via kdz or tot, then rooting using the new method, then install latest version of TWRP for our phone, then flashing the rom from TWRP would be the easiest, most brick resistant method
Can you tell me which root method is the new one?
Don't need to downgrade at all anymore. The new root script is somewhere in the regular LG G3 sections (not Verizon specific) and there's now an app in the Play Store (there's a thread from only a day or more ago in these Verizon LG G3 sections about it) for installing TWRP on our phone that's supposed to work under Lollipop. I haven't tested it yet, myself, mind you.
For reference, the old root method is called Stump and didn't work with 12B or newer.

I have a Xperia Neo V - which is now spare and decided it would be good to use as a running phone - with a running tracker app on and music app.
However Android is really old on it (2.3.4). OTA updates say it is the most up to date version.
I've started to read into a lot of what I need to do and so far I have...
unlocked the bootloader - using the wire trick.
rooted the phone
I installed CWM from the playstore but from what I can tell it isn't the best way due to being on the system partition?
What I'm not sure about is how to actually upgrade the firmware. Most of the latest versions state that they need the partitions moving around to work. Also is it worth going for Lollipop or would it be better with kitkat?
I'm just after something that will be familiar compared to the other devices in the house and will be maybe a bit quicker and stable.
If anyone can give me a bit of a dummies guide to doing the next part it would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Got my Xperia today, love the thing already, now looking to root, had a look around and have found mixed answer for rooting.
My tablet is on 4.4.4 (KK) and the build number is 23.0.1.A.167, I have seen topics where it can/can't be rooted, and lastly there is an updater to build 23.1.A.0.726. I haven't installed it yet as I don't know if I can root with my current version or if I need the newer version to root, any help is appreciated!
I am also on KK .167 rooted long time now.my opinionONT update neither to LP or MM !!!
Peace to all
Hi guys
I just got LG G3 from Sprint and I did somehow manage it to root it using kingo. I also got notification that update is downloaded (OTA), should I install it or not? Root and Hotspot are important to me but feel free go give me any suggestions - I would appreciate them. If you decide to do that I might need some help because I was away from android for a while....
Thank you in advance!
Forgot to mention, running 4.4.2 Stock Rom, rooted
The OTA you got is probably to take you Lollipop...I recently unrooted and went from 4.4.2 KitKat to 5.0.1 Lollipop. I read numerous times not to take the OTA updates when rooted on KitKat. I used an unrooting method that used the LG Flash Tool - something like this - http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html - though there's a similar guide here at xda, too. You'll need to download some files, including the flash tool. It seems daunting at first, but follow the instructions closely and you'll get through it.
Thank you on your response, I was very disappointed that many people viewed thread but ignored. My primary concern is - will OTA make device not rootable or rooting should still be easy process?
First, I had a rooted G3. Never updated it. Now, I have an H830 (T-Moble) variant. I've been rooted since I bought the phone and have never updated because I don't know how to do it without losing root. I'm still on software version H83010d (Android 6.0.1).
From what I've gathered, I just download the .zip in here and install via TWRP and then flash superSU afterwards?
I'm not completely sure what the talk of modifying boot.img or removing recovery-from-boot.p...
My reason for updating is because I want to try the Fulmics ROM or any optimized ROM for that matter. I had one on my G3 and it ran so much better.
But then as a follow up question, is the update process the same from a ROM? Do you just flash an update over the Rom and then re-flash the ROM?
Any links or answers are appreciated so I can finally figure out how to update while retaining root on my devices. :laugh:
