If you want to root your Motorola smartphone on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, these are the guidelines to have root permissions on Motorola devices with Android 6.0 Marshmallow running. First, you must have a custom recovery (of your smartphone) installed on your device. We will install the package SuperSU through the TWRP recovery on your Motorola, cause this is the easiest and the safest way to do it.

Remember that before starting you have to make several preliminary steps, these are: keep the battery charged, at least 50% (but it is always advisable to charge it till 100% before installation for any problems that may arise). Then enable USB Debugging on the smartphone Settings and (if necessary) download all the updated USB drivers of your device on the PC.

Then you can proceed to download all the necessary files to root your smartphone. Do not forget to follow all the steps listed in the tutorial, in the same order without skipping any of them.

Directions

  1. Download SuperSu (link available at the end of this article).
  2. Transfer the SuperSu file to the internal memory of your Motorola. If you read this article from your mobile device, download it directly to your device (instead of PC).
  3. Now boot the device into TWRP recovery mode. To do this, when the smartphone is off (after a few seconds) press simultaneously buttons Power, Volume Up and Volume Down, and keep them tight for 3 or 4 seconds.
  4. When a Start menu is displayed release buttons and press Volume Down when the option ‘Recovery’ appears. Press Volume Up once again.
  5. Then you will see the Android logo, at this point you must press Volume Up and Volume Down simultaneously and keep them pressed for about 5 seconds. After that press the Power button.
  6. Then just select the SuperSu file you just downloaded and click on Install and flash the SuperSU file you moved in previous step.
  7. Reboot the device and that’s all. Your Motorola device is rooted.
