This is my first Moto device and I'm not familiar with how to root these. All I know is its a Moto X Verizon exclusive (pig skin edition), I know the SIM is unlocked because I'm using it on At&t. If someone could help me by shooting me the proper links to a tutorial specific to this model phone I would seriously appreciate it. Thanks.

You cannot root it or unlock its bootloader, unfortunately. In the States only the Pure Edition can be unlocked and rooted. Also, it'll likely be a VERY long time until your model gets rooted if it ever does, and if I was a betting man, I'd go all in on its bootloader never getting unlocked. In other words, learn to love it stock because that's probably how it's going to stay.

US Cellular XT1093 can be unlocked, and does Sprint have it yet? If so, it's unlockable. I prefer to say "All variants except Verizon and ATT are unlockable" rather than "Only Pure Edition can be unlocked in the US". Plus it's less words (by one lol).

You're right, my bad. I keep forgetting that USC has it too. Not sure about Sprint.

wrong section for starters.
sprint doesnt use unlock codes.
they push an unlock to your phone.
they are the only carrier that uses a back door method.
how do i know?
i had to fight with sprint for weeks to get them to unlock my phone so i could use it in spain.
sprint is very difficult when it comes to this procedure. and although you may have received a confirmation unlock email from sprint, your phone may not be unlocked.
it is a hassle.
back door method ? can u elaborate ?

you talk to sprint. then they push an update to your phone.
you dont put in a code or anything.
they push the unlock to your phone.
Actually this has a builtin app to unlock the phone search it up on the general section u should see SIM unlock. U might have to dig around the tread for the instuructions.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386703 that's the thread with the video tutorial. U probably should of posted this on the Q&A section

Been doing some searching on the Moto X. Two questions that I need help with ASAP.
1. Can the GSM unlocked version be put on AT&T wihtout issue?
2. Since it is the carrier unlocked version can I unlock the bootloader?
Can't find anything out there.
Also, is there still an easy root exploit out there?
I want to pick up a wood backed companion for the Nexus...
Which model?

So basically everything but band 5, if I want to use it on AT&T. That may be worth it to get an unlockable bootloader.
So I am not new at this. Owned several Nexus devices all rooted within hours of ownership. But this multiple versions is confusing the **** out of me. I am ordering the XT1053. Can I just unlocked the bootloader through Moto's site and then go through ADB and flash TWRP or CWN and install SU?

1. Yes. I currently use an at&t mvno and pick up LTE with my unlocked X.
2. Yes. You will void your warranty if you request a code though. Unless you buy the developer edition. Unfortunately the Dev ed is not available through motomaker.
Don't know about easily rooting though. This is the first android I've owned where I haven't felt the need to root yet.

I just bought a Moto X Devoloper Edition off a forum. I've tried it for a little while, and all the basic stuff seems to work well. But I want to make sure everything works good. Is there anything special I should look for? Maybe he bricked the boot loader, etc. How would I check?

If the bootloader were bricked, your phone would not turn on and you wouldn't even be able to get to fastboot mode - obviously this is not the case.
If you are concerned about previous modifications that may have been made, follow the instructions in the return to stock thread to flash back to 100% stock.
Everything you need, including all the links to stock firmware, tools, and drivers are located in that thread. (In the general sub-forum)
CAUTION! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DOWNGRADE! Only flash the version the phone is currently on, or newer. Also be sure to use the correct firmware for YOUR carrier.
Good luck
I've noticed I have no reception at all (seriously, just a black thing). I shid note, I have no SIM in the phone. Should I be worried? Or will I get reception with a SIM? Anybody with a Verizon Moto X can answer the question by removing their SIM card and looking. Much appreciated.
You'll have to put a sim card in the phone to get service
Just to make sure, it's supposed to look like this without a SIM (the notification bar)?

Hi everyone.
I'm following the instructions in order to get TWRP on my phone and flash Resurrection Remix Oreo, but I'm not being able to unlock the bootloader.
I get the "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking." message at the Motorola unlocking website
Does this have anything to do with Verizon? Their E5 Play isn't unlockable at the moment?
I should get 5 strings of unlock data, but instead I get the "Unlock data:" text in the first line, and then 4 more. Is this something that should happen?

Is it possible to flash a custom ROM with a locked bootloader?
Thanks in advance.

Verizon-branded phones cannot be bootloader unlocked. Has always been this way.
You cannot flash a custom ROM with a locked bootloader.

I was referring to Verizon's Moto phones. The Verizon-branded Pixel/XL had a workaround to allow BL unlock, as did the Pixel 2 for a short period of time (was patched in an update). But the Verizon-branded Pixel 2 XL and Pixel 3s still cannot be bootloader unlocked.
I am having the same issue, however can you root a phone without unlocking the bootloader?

Hi I have just been gifted a note 8 which is the snapdragon model from the U.S but I'm in the UK. My device is a greatqleue, is there any root method or custom roms for this model. I don't even know if it's a Verizon, sprint or other u.s carrier and far as i can tell it's running the XAA csc and the n950U1UEU7DTC3. Hope some one can help clear some things up.

You have a locked bootloader on the SM-N950U1. No custom roms, kernels, and No TWRP recovery.
You only have root for Android Nougat! No root for Oreo or PIE!
Do a xda search for "safestrap" for putting Oreo or nougat back on using Bootloader version 7 and "Extreme Syndicate" for Nougat ROOT (it doesn't UNLOCKED bootloader)!
They're in the "Note 8 Rom section".

Wow. How come there isn't any root method for newer os and how come bootloader cant be unlocked? For this specific device
There are to many things to consider to answer the "how come" question..lol. There hasn't been an unlocked bootloader on a US Snapdragon device for many many years.

Ah, I understand! Shame really, I know of some "soft" mods that work without root like theming etc but it's a shame. And when I got the dtc3 update I noticed it's still on the March security patch instead of april?
