Is the Moto XT1097 with the android version 5.1 able to he downgraded. Thanks for any kind of answers at all. Been looking at different sites and all kind of tutorials. Still haven't found any answer to my questions. Thanks in advanced.
Here is my riddle?
I got a moto XT1097 bought from at&T in America with the 5.1 android version. How do I root it? Is it worth to even downgrade to try and root it that way . I know for a fact the boot loader cannot be unlocked. OEM Is one that can not be unlocked. Thanks for any advice, help, anthing at all. Been wracking and researching away to root it and all of my roads lead to a headache.
The AT&T xt1097 cannot be unlocked. You can root with MOFO if an updated 5.1 image has been made for your device. Since your device cannot be unlocked, you cannot downgrade.

Thanks. I do not have the 5.1 image for my device at all. When I bought the phone it was updated on the spot. I know for sure right now these versions are not rootable. Guess I am going to have to wait or root. Thanks for the help.

I don't know if vzw provides unlock codes.
But what I can say is warranty won't affect your chance of getting an unlock code.
You should check on moto website.
If you enter the imei number they'll tell you whether it can be unlocked

Eh, thanks I was hoping to get it from motorola cause sunshine isn't working either cause it requires root, link of a working root method for locked boot loader would be much appreciated.

No. Moto will never give out the bootloader unlock code on the Non-Developer Edition XT1060 (likely due to their contract with Verizon), and Verizon does not give them out (for dev edition either).
And with the locked bootloader, once 4.4.4 is on your phone, you can't root it.

Its likely for an OLDER ROM.
There were about 3 or 4 different processes for X with a locked bootloader, but it was based on ROM version on the phone (i.e. 4.2.2 w/camera update, 4.4, 4.42). Once 4.4.4 is on there, all past vulnerabilities that were exploited on phones with locked bootloaders have been patched/closed, so if you have 4.4.4 on the phone and can't unlock the bootloader, you can't root.

Hey there,
I am really courios why can't we root xt1096 while it is on stock 5.1
That sounds wierd to me because this is my 4th android phone already and I rooted all the priors without any problem.
I understood there was mofo and kingroot working on 5.0 , what happend with the 5.1 update?
Also, is there someone trying to make root possible for 5.1 stock?
I would like to get some answers if you guys don't mind
Thanks in advance.

The vulnerability that was used to root it in 5.0 and 4.4.4 was fixed by motorola.

If you were that concerned about root, there are options (ie: Pure Edition) that will ALWAYS have root.

Yea, but at first I didn't know that I can't root my phone. It seems to me really obvious that we can root any android phone because it is open source...
Moreover, the pure version has bigger screen than the normal xt1096 and that's the reason I didn't take pure edition.

He means the pure 2014 xt1095. The 2014 pure has the same screen size. The pure 2015 has a bigger screen.

Oh.. well, I didn't know that.
Looks like I'm screwed up because I bought the phone only 2 months ago because Motorola promises upgrades and now they just abandoned the xt1096..
Does anybody know if there is a progress trying to achieve root for 5.1 stock xt1096?
First, sorry for the double comment. Hope it's fine...
Kingroot has updated and they say they can root 5.1
I tried but with no success. Well, it failed at 23% which maybe brings hope to xt1096 users because this is the first time it lets you try to root with the app.
We currently have 832 people waiting for a root strategy but we need more people to ask them so we can be more noticable to them.
Please guys with xt1096, use kingroot and then it will fail to you. Then, choose the option that put us in the queue.
Thanks guys.
Hope soon we can get root to our abandoned phone..
Hi.
So I bought this xt1097 AT&T branded.
I would like to keep only one feature from T-Mobile and it's WiFi calling. Rest of the phone can be stock Motorola.
Is it possible to flash any ROM that would have T-Mobile WiFi calling?
Oh the phone is 5.1 already.

I was under the impression that the moto x 2014 does not have wifi calling. Which means that flashing another rom won't give you it either.

OK. Thank you.
I thought it would be only software since this cheep pos Alcatel one touch has it.
I didn't look if all android phones have it.
I guess that I'll pack it too when traveling to Canadia aye.
Thank you again.
One more thing. Sine I can't really navigate this forum and also don't know what I should be looking for. Can someone out of their kindness from their heart point me to directions on how to root the xt1097 with 5.1android?
I found so far confusing info as to that 5.1 can't be rooted.
Thank you again.

In theory, you should be able to flash twrp on your device and flash the latest supersu zip. I haven't tried this so I cannot tell if it would work or not. Anyways here is the link for twrp: https://twrp.me/devices/motorolamotox2014.html and for supersu: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/

It won't work. His bootloader is locked so he can't flash TWRP. There is NO way to root a xt1097 fom AT&T that is on 5.1 currently.

Hey does anyone have a one click root method for the moto x 2014 (XT1092)? Don't wanna manually root it coz I'd probably stuff something up, thanks.
Currently, there is no one click root method for moto x 2014, and as I can see, there won't be any.
The ONLY way for us to root is by unlocking the bootloader, installing twrp and root using supersu or something like that.
Kingroot brags about that they can root android 5.1 but when you try with our phone, you get failed/there is no strategy method available.
As far as I know, you have xt1092 so you are able to unlock your bootloader. I have verizon's xt1096 and I can't do that , and probably won't be at all.

Have you tried getting Motorola to unlock your xt1096? It seems there have been quite a few people successfully unlocking their carrier branded Moto X 2014. I can't comment on whether or not it is true since I have XT1095, but I'm just saying......

Well, I've done that already a year ago... Motorola made it available to unlock the xt1096 bootloader.
I moved to Galaxy s7 already so it's not relevant for me but thanks!

Motorola and Verizon have stated that they will not update the XT1096 to MM or 6.x so there is no "official" Marshmallow firmware from Motorola for this phone.
You can find an 99% stock MM ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/rom-xt1096-verizon-flashable-stock-rom-t3327345. Please read the full thread and ask questions there about this ROM. Some people - including me - are using it as their daily driver with little to no issues. This ROM has all the Motorola apps (Voice, Display, etc.) working as expected from a stock ROM.
Another option CM13. Read this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/orig-development/rom-official-cm-13-0-nightly-releases-t3256580/post65781867#post65781867. CM13 works on the XT1096 and other CM13-based ROMs should work but you will need to verify by reading their threads. Please be sure to read the full thread and ask questions there about CM13 or in the other threads related to other ROMs.
This is assuming that you are on the Verizon network and want to keep CDMA functionality. If you are using this phone on a GSM network and do not care to keep the CDMA access then you might want to look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/guide-xt1097-to-xt1095-nextel-t2972693
All of the options above require that you have an unlocked bootloader. If your bootloader is locked please go here to learn about unlocking it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/motorola-unlocking-verizon-moto-x-2014-t3291104
Please read and learn as much as you can. Most - if not all - of your questions will be answered by reading through the threads listed.
XT1085
Hello everyone,
I'm currently using the moto X 2nd generation bought in china (XT1085) running android 5.0.2.
I would like to get rid of the retcn version of the system because I don't speak chinese for a retEU or retUS and install android 6 MM. Is it possible?
My phone is rooted and TWRP recovery installed
I tried to install this version : Version 6, because one guy wrote on the topic that it worked on TX1085 but it failed for me, and my phone stayed on the Motorola launching screen.
So now I'm back with the factory setup and would like to now how to install android 6.0?
Thanks

How to unlock Motorola Moto X 2nd gen. bootloader?
Hey Guys! I have a locked motorola moto x 2nd gen, verizon variant (xt1096). I want to unlock its bootloader for upgrading to marshmallow (6.0), tried to unlock through Motorola's website, but my phone's not eligible for it. So is there any other way to unlock bootloader.
