UPDATE/SOLVED: rooted by unlocking bootloader, flashing recovery via fastboot, installed supersu
I was wondering how to root the Alltel Moto X XT1050, I have successfully unlocked the bootloader. I was googling how to do it but things I've came across were that there were so many different versions of the Moto X.
Can anyone help??
disregard

I just got my
US CELLULAR Moto X.
Out of the box, it's running 4.4
I've read a lot of different tutorials on rooting the Moto X, but there is a lot of talk about a "camera fix update exploit" and I'm not sure if I should be using PWNMyMoto, RockMyMoto, SlapMyMoto or what.
I hae already unlocked the bootloader, btw.
For the record, I'm not a complete newbie. I've got an s2 on CM, and a N7 running Carbon.
Any help would be appreciated.
If you have already unlocked the bootloader then you can just flash twrp and install superSU. And bam it would be done within a few minutes.
Done
thank you, and rooted. Awesome.
Okay, got a strange question here. I plan on going from the N5 to the unlocked GSM MotoMaker Moto X version. All I want is root with stock recovery (don't really care for a custom recovery, plus I'd like to still receive OTAs). Can I unlock the Moto X bootloader, load TWRP recovery (instead of flash), and then install SuperSU? Or do I *have* to flash TWRP to achieve root?
correct me if im wrong, but I think you can "unlock the Moto X bootloader, load TWRP recovery (instead of flash), and then install SuperSU".
or
use one of the methods in the original android development section to achieve root.

Yes, I've looked at those threads. However, in 4.4, a backdoor needs to be introduced in order to maintain root. I'd rather not have to do that and I don't mind unlocking bootloaders. This will be my first, non-Nexus device in awhile, so I just wanted to make sure I can just unlocked the bootloader, load a custom recovery, flash SuperSU and then just have root.

Just unlock your boot loader, flash twrp recovery and finally flash supersu and you're good to go. Ota's can not be accepted and flashed with root or custom recovery on the moto

Thanks! That's what I thought! I didn't know that root removed the ability to accept OTAs?

Hi I am planing my first root and I am honestly a little confused. I am on TMobile with 4.4 KitKat (Moto X).
I understand how to unlock the Bootloader and that I need to install TWRP before I can activate SU.
I am just not sure about the bugs (if any) with TWRP and what version to use.
The reason for my concern is on the TWRP website the Moto X is not listed as a supported device.
Is this video Tutorial still valid - is this how to do it with 4.4 KitKat?
And is this the latest version that works (what are the known bugs)?
I was just referred to this site for guidance on rooting my Verizon XT1096 (Moto X 2014) running Lollipop 5.0. I understand there was a problem with the locked bootloader on this particular device that has been preventing root access. Is this still the problem? Is root still not being achieved? And also, how can I determine if my device has a locked bootloader?
Thanks :angel:
Reboot into fastboot menu it will tell you if its unlocked
There is no root for the Verizon version.
Your phone has a locked bootloader, and unfortunately there is no root for it either. Sorry to say, but you are stuck with a stock phone.

I have a Verizon Moto X 2014 (XT1096) on latest 5.1 update. I just want root. Nothing seems to hell give me root access. I've tried several root apps. (kingo root, kingroot, etc etc) it would be a dream if I could possibly unlock my bootloader. I do have OEM Unlocking enabled in developer options...but it seems to do nothing. Please help. Thank you.
Search these forums for mofo
It is the only way to root a verizon moto x.

4.4.4 and 5.0 are Mofo rootable. 5.1 this far isn't.

The 1097 is a gen 2 (2014) model. This is the forum for the original 2013 gen 1.
In any case, if you can boot to bootloader or get to fastboot, you can flash a new recovery and ROM. Easy Google find for fastboot guides.
oh just noticed..sorry..i tried all of that even with the toolkit but it still james at that bootloader screen..
