[Q] Why root? - Glass Q&A

I have a pretty dumb question regarding gaining root access on Glass that I can't find the answer to anywhere:
Why bother rooting it?
Is it just for development purposes? Or to run other applications that require root access?
Thanks!

No, known methods of rooting without unlocking don't work on the one. I tried motochopper and srsroot.

at&t. I cannot unlock bootloader. I need root access so i can fix that. thats why i am asking if i can do it with motochopper like revone does... I just cant find anything that uses motochopper for rooting. closest i got is revone which uses it internally and doesnt install superuser files.
Hi I have the same question,
I would only need root access to get rid of flip board and some useless apps (at least for me). I bought my HTC carrier free (with unlocked sim).
Cheers

XT1058 and root

I have a stock xt1058 (ATT Moto X 2013) and need to root it, without wiping what is there already and ideally also to be in a position where I can unroot pretty quickly. I have no need to unlock the bootloader (unless required) and simply am looking for temporary root access. What is the best way to achieve this?
EDIT: The current Android Version is 4.4.4
See the one stop root thread in general for root methods.
But quick answer.... No, sorry.
No to which part exactly?
Did you read the one stop root thread? Your answer is there.
Again though, there is no way to root 4.4.4, fully or temporarily, without an unlocked bootloader.
And on your device, there's no current way to unlock your bootloader. You can try Sunshine app (Google it for their site). It costs $25, but usually will not work on 4.4.4. You can try it without paying. It will give you an error before you ever need to pay.
?

question from a potential buyer

I consider to buy this device, but I have the following question and would be glad if somebody could help:
Is it possible to root this device with kingroot? Im trying to find a way to root this device without unlocking the bootloader (so I can still download OTAs)
