not working
It is working can you tell me where you are facing problem?
Everything seems to be working good until step 13. When I choose the Recovery Mode it goes all black and then a dead Android icon appears with the legend "Sin comandos" (My phone is in spanish: No commands).
I got stucked here.
It means you didn't flash the recovery correctly.the symbol of no command means it is stock recovery yet. So try to the twrp recovery and then try.
I flashed the recovery and the super su zip but it can't update itself and give root.
great this took me 10 mins with basic knowledge of systems etc. I spent days with ADK and king root, kango root etc and none of them work with 5.1.1

Update Now you can root Moto G 3rd gen running on android marshmallow 6.0.
Not working for marshmallow.After flashing the super su, mobile go to soft dead.
I think because Super su V2.46.Super su V2.46 unable to root on marshmallow.
stuck at warning bootloader unlocked after flashing supersu.
please help
and its marshmallow
Same thing happened with me.The reason is Super u V 2.46 is not for marshmallow it is for lollipop only.
Super su v 2.67 is for marshmallow which is now in beta stage.
So wait until the stable one is released.
but how do i start my phone?
By pressing power button and volume down button for some time it goes to boot-loader.
Flash Stock firmware of lollipop or marshmallow with the help of laptop or flash any custom rom through recovery.
got it.. thanks
…or remove wrong SuperSU with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63615067
Hi. I’m confirming that the advice by Lee works.
If your device is in a loop state you *can* get to the twrp recovery … just hold down the power and down volume and tweak with the reboot a bit … you *will* get there.
Then you want to format a microsd card as fat32 (not ntfs) and put the file there. In the recovery you should mount the sd card, navigate to the directory, and install.
I honestly doubted this was a valid solution but I tried it anyway since flashing the rom seemed like such a PITA.
Thanks, this was good advice.
Whenever i try to install superuser inorder to root in stock rom.Its getting stuck on motologo not passing that aftwards i.e device is not booting stuck white moto logo scrn.Even though my device is unlocked and twrp installed on it.What is the fix for this?.Confused what to do now?.Only this occurs on stock rom
Sorry to mention i tried to root on stock MM Rom.So what is the fix brother?
This problem due to Super su v 2.46. You can't root MM with Super su v 2.46.
So which SU version should i have to use on stock MM to root it?.
May be Super Su v 2.67 but this is now in beta. And i haven't tried it yet.So do at your own risk.
Found a fix now my device is rooted successfully.
1.First if we have tried to flash superuser zip previously it should be patched.So need to remove that first check this link for that flashbale zip –>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63615067.
2.Then install this zip freshly again http://www.devfiles.co/download/oVskcAVx/SuperSU-v2.60-20151205163135.zip
Yahoo!.Finally mobile rebooted successfully and now i got root access.Try this procedure for stock MM
If a device with fresh MM. Not any super su flashed previously.Then if they flash this super su, will they get the root access.
If a device with fresh MM. Not any super su flashed previously.Then if they flash this super su, will they get the root access.
Yes you should.Try that super su and it is particularly for MM.
Try at your own risk!.Do update if you got root acees
and if you forget to download drivers How I can find them ?

Important:
Create a backup after unlocking bootloader using TWRP or you’ll be stuck as I was. I had internet in my phone and the only phone (I had at the time) got soft-bricked. Or as an alternative download recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/index-moto-g-factory-firmware-images-t3169639 for your device checking android version, ram, model etc.
I tried with like 7 versions of chainfire’s app and none worked out. I’ll try clockworkmod’s app.
